Chesney Anderson didn't know anything about wedding venues or getting married but we had a venue in our family for generations. My mother ran it until she passed away unexpectedly and I was left to make people's wedding dreams come true.
With it nee...

I am not sure what is going on with Chesney but she has been dodging me for the last couple of weeks.
Did I do something to her?
I stopped at the venue and Whit said that she left ever and was over at her mom's place.
As I drive by I see her car there and so I pull up behind her car. I have to find out what is going on with her.
I cut my truck off and throw my hat on my head as I walk up on the porch.
I knock on the door and when she opens it she seems surprised to see me.
"Stone hey! What are you doing here?"
"I saw your car and thought I would stop by and offer my help. I haven't seen you much lately."
"I am sorry Stone just been busy with a lot on my mind."
"Need help? I don't mind sticking around."
"Nah I have it you can go Stone."
I close my eyes for a moment putting my hands on my hip. "Chesney, did I do something to you? Did I misread things? We were getting close and now all of a sudden it feels like there is a mountain between us."
"You didn't do anything wrong Stone." She glares at me before throwing stuff in a box.
"Apparently I did. You are completely distant and don't want anything to do with me."
"It's not you Stone."
"Oh, bullshit! Don't give me that one line it's not you it's me. Talk to me, Chesney."
"Just leave me alone Stone. You didn't do anything. It's me and I just wish to be left alone."
"I need a good reason to leave you alone. I don't understand what is going on here."
She slams the box down and turns around with her hands on her hips. "Do you want to know what's wrong really?"
"Of course, I do that's why I am asking Chesney."
"Fine since you want to know so bad. I am pregnant! Fucking Pregnant Stone!" She yells.
Well, that blew the wind right out of my sails.
"Did you say pregnant?" I walked over to her.
She had tears in her eyes. "Yes pregnant. I found out a couple of weeks ago and went to the doctor and it was confirmed.
"Do I even have to ask if it's mine?"
"No Stone you don't because you are the only person I have slept with so of course, you are the father, and believe me I get it. You don't want to be a father and I completely understand and I am prepared to take care of it alone."
"Do I get a say in any of this or do you just have it all figured out?"
"I am trying to give you a way out Stone."
"Maybe I don't want a way out Chesney."
"Why not Stone? I am giving you a way out."
"Dammit, I don't want a way out Chesney because I love you!"
"Wait what? You love me?"
"Yes! I want to be with you and I want to have this baby with you."
I watch as she turns pale and sets down on the couch. "Did you say you love me?"
I get down on my knees in front of her on the couch and box her in. "Chesney I love you and even if I am a little shocked how this all happened I am not shocked and I would never step out on my responsibility."
She begins to cry and covers her face with her hands.
I move my hands up to pull her hands away and wipe her tears. "Why are you crying sweetheart?"
She sniffs. "Besides Clay, no one has loved me since my dad passed when I was fourteen, and it's weird to hear it from another person."
"Well, I am prepared to tell you every single day just how much I love you and this baby. How far along are you?"
"I turned eleven weeks on Monday."
"Wow. Do you have a sonogram or anything that I can see? First-time dad here." I laughed.
"In my head, you didn't take it as well as you have but umm Stone I really do care about you too. I don't want to say I love you because I am not sure what love is but with your help I know I can get there."
"I will help you any way that I can. Can I kiss you now?"
"Please." She smiled at me.
I pulled her into my arms and kissed her lips a few times. "I am so happy I can't wait to tell everyone that we are having a baby."
"I am happy to share this with you Stone. Now get off of your kneecaps."
I chuckled and got off the floor and pulled her into my arms and kissed her lips again.
She got a sonogram out of her purse and handed it to me. "Here is our baby."
"Our baby. That sounds so nice. So when can we tell people?"
"Umm, the doctor said twelve weeks which isn't far off."
"How about we get out of here and get some dinner and go back to my place to celebrate?"
"I need to tell Clay where I am because since we made up things have been nice."
"Well text him and follow me over to the house and we will order food. What do you want?"
"Pizza?"
"What toppings do you want?"
"Pepperoni and extra pineapple." She giggled.
"You got it. I will get it ordered let's get going."
"I will follow you Stone and umm thank you for everything."
I lean in and kiss her lips again before shutting her car door and heading to my truck.
I get the food ordered and when we pull up I help her out of the car and we head inside and Cotton makes a beeline right over to her.
"Some things never change." I laugh as she picks Cotton up and scratches him on top of his head.
