Our Promises Must Sail

Chapter 2

Ella's POV

My thoughts were all over the place as I took in Brady's question. Does he really want to marry me? He wants to spend the rest of his life with me and our baby? Is he going to leave me once I tell him I'm pregnant? Is he still gonna want me after I get bigger due to the baby growing inside me? I realized that if I accepted his proposal that this is the time to tell him that I'm pregnant. I shook my head trying to get all of these negative thoughts.

I think Brady took that as a rejection, because he started getting up off of his knee. "I-Is that a no?" He asked me.
"No, it's not a no." I responded feeling bad for making him feel like I didn't want to marry him.

"Ok, so what is your answer?" He asked still looking at me with an intense stare.

"Y-Yes, I will marry you." I stated with a huge smile on my face.

As soon as he took in my answer he had a huge smile as big as mine. He slipped the ring onto my finger as I glanced down at it realizing how beautiful and perfect it was. After he placed the ring on my finger he scooped me up into his arms, and I squealed in excitement. He spun me around in his arms and leaned in to give me a passion filled kiss. I broke away from the intense kiss he was giving me, jumped out of his arms and ran over to my parents who were just watching us with smiles on their faces.

For the rest of the night we told each other some of the things we'd like to see at our wedding. Even though our wedding is probably going to be many months away from now we still had fun talking about it. As the night approached, we decided to head to our bedrooms and talk more about this tomorrow. Around noon tomorrow my parents were going to have to go back home to California.

7:45 next morning

I was in my room getting ready while my parents were in the other room packing their bags. I had gotten up around 7:00, because I was going to go have breakfast with my parents and drive them to the airport. Brady was still asleep I tried waking him up, but he just fell back asleep. When he woke up he would be worried seeing that we were gone but I was just going to leave a note on the table.

About twenty minutes later we drove around looking for a breakfast restaurant eventually, we decided to stop at IHOP. Since it was still early, there wasn't as many people so we got seated fast and our food didn't take that long to make. As we ate I told my parents my big news about my pregnancy. They were shocked and my mom asked me how Brady felt about it.

"I haven't told him yet." I stated as I looked up at my parents to see their shocked expressions.

"Why haven't you told him yet?" My mother finally asked.

"I was waiting for the right time and I don't know how he's going to feel about this." I told them honestly.

"Honey, there is no right time to tell anyone that kind of news, but your going to have to tell him especially now that ya'll are engaged."

"I know."

My mom was right I needed to tell Brady that I'm pregnant and I am this afternoon once I get home from dropping my parents off at the airport. We paid our bill and left a tip and after that we were on our way to the airport.

30 mins later

We arrived at the airport and I walked them inside saying our goodbyes. I left once they boarded their plane and headed home. I was on my way back to our apartment when I received a text message from Brady saying 'I need to talk to you about something important hurry home' I didn't let my mind wonder as to what it was he wanted to talk about with me as I only kept my eyes on the road. I would deal with what he wanted to talk to me about once I get home.
