"Xander, it's perfect!" I exclaimed, walking into the last room of the house.

"I figured it would just be easier to move into the perfect house the first time." I smiled at him as we walked around the house again.

It had eight bedrooms, all with their own bathroom and balcony. There was a huge pool outside with two water slides and a diving board, along with a hot tub. The yard was huge so we would be able to get a swing set for our child, and still have room to play with everything.

There was a media room and a playroom in the house, which would be perfect. The house was perfect.

"I love it, and I love you," I smiled, kissing Xander.

"Happy birthday," he whispered against my lips. "I have one more birthday present for you." He pulled away from me, making Lilly whimper.

"Taylor, I've known you for my whole life, and you've been my best friend for my whole life. And when we found out we were mates, I was glad it was you. And I just wanted to ask you if you would marry me," he asked, getting down on one knee and pulling out a velvet box, opening it to reveal a small diamond ring.

I smiled and nodded. "Yes, of course I will," I smiled, tears brimming my eyes. I laughed as I wiped them away. Xander stood up and placed the ring on my finger. He then wrapped his arms around me and twirled me around.

"I love you, but we should probably go furniture shopping. I have someone dropping by all our personal items off, but not the furniture," he smiled.

"Come on then, let's go!" I said excitedly, pulling him out the door. We ran to the car and he drove to the nearest furniture store.

We only found a master bedroom set and a dining room set that we liked, so we purchased them and set to have them delivered at five. We got back in the car and drove to another furniture store.

"So do you think you want to find out what the baby's gender is?" I asked, holding Xanders hand as he drove to the next store.

"Whatever you want, I'll be ok with," he smiled.

"I want it to be a surprise. And if it's a surprise them the nursery has to be an ok theme for a boy and a girl," I said. "Like maybe a jungle theme! That would be cool!"

"Then a jungle themed nursery it is!" Xander laughed at my childness.

We spent the rest of the day going furniture shopping and by five most of it was delivered. "I can't wait to decorate the house!" I said excitedly.

"I love you," Xander laughed, wrapping his arms around me from behind him. "And I love our baby too." My heart melted at those words.

"I love our baby too," I said, putting my hands on my stomach and looking down at it. There was a small bump, barely noticeable. You would only be able to see it if you were looking closely.

"You don't love me?" Xander asked, and I could hear the pout in his voice.

"I love you too," I giggled, turning around in his arms and kissing him. It was one of those slow and passionate kisses, where you poured all your heart and all your love into it. It was breathtaking. Literally.

We both pulled away, gasping for air. Our foreheads were still touching as we both breathed heavily, filling our lungs with much needed air.

I looked into his eyes, and they were pitch black. "I want one more birthday present," I whispered. Xander picked me up bridal style in on swift movement, and with in seconds, my back was against the brand new sheets on our bed.

"What is this last birthday present you want?" Xander asked seductively.

"You."

It was one of the best birthday present ever.
