Sensation

Chapter 3 - Franky

"We're doing alright handsome," Azalea answered. "Mateo wanted to thank you for breakfast. He was kicking after I ate, so I'm guessing he enjoyed it." Smiling at the love of my life who is carrying our seed. Of course he's not "our" seed but he still is ours. He's our gift from God, the doctors were saying that it would be hard for Azalea to get pregnant after all that had happened. So we named him Mateo, "God's gift."

"Well baby.. Today's a special day. I mean granted, everyday is special when it comes to spending time with you." Azalea blushed and looked at me with curiosity, "why is today so special, my love?" I went into my coat pocket and grabbed some paper work and laid it on the table. I pushed it towards her, watching the curiosity boil up inside of her. As she began to read the paper I said, "Azalea, baby, with us getting married next week and with you being pregnant.. I think it's time for us to get our own place together. Not a condo, a house. But of course our house won't be a house, it'll be a home."

She covered her mouth and tears escaped from the corners of her eyes. "Oh my goodness baby. Are you serious? Is that why you have been so busy? I thought you've been avoiding me." Shocked at what she said, "baby I would never want to avoid you. I've been working hard for us and our family. Everything I do is for you." I took her hand and kissed it. She smiled and she realized I was right.

The waiter walked up to our table and Azalea wiped her eyes. "Hello, I'm Shawn, I'll be your waiter. What can I get for you?" Azalea still being speechless, I said to him, "I'll have a peach tea and she'll have a strawberry lemonade. And for dinner, I'll have a chicken alfredo and she'll have Spaghetti with Italian sausage." Azalea looked up at me and smiled because she knows I know her. "Alright I'll get that for you two." And with that, Shawn walked back to deliver our order.

"Azalea, baby, I love you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, and Mateo will be our love joined into one being. I can't imagine being with anybody else. You two, are and will be my future. I don't know how I lived before you came into my life. You're a true blessing and I'm beyond grateful for you," I take her left hand and kiss the ring I put on her finger. She began to cry and I walked over to her and got on my knee as I wrapped her in my embrace. Her being pregnant made her ten times more emotional than usual. Rubbing her back, she nestled her face in my neck. We stayed that way for a few more minutes. I wiped her tears and kissed her cheeks. Returning to my seat, our waiter arrived with our food. "Bon appétit."
