Beautiful Mistakes [Brollins]

Chapter 43

After the duo finished shopping, they checked out and loaded their new belongings into the car. Colby helped Rebecca get in, then they were finally able to go home.

When Monday rolled around, Rebecca and Colby went into work, and continued to do so until the weekend. Rebecca was trying to work as much as she could, especially since she would be taking off in a few months...or sooner.

Renee had just started back a few weeks ago, and the office was more than happy to have her back—especially considering the fact that the other receptionist didn't work as hard as she did, which made the office run a little slower.

Thankfully for Rebecca, Rosie and Melody hadn't bothered her again, at least to her knowledge. She was terrified to work when her bump first started showing, afraid that they would start the rumors again, but they seemed happy for her, and still do.

Now that it was Saturday though, Colby and Rebecca got up around nine so that they could go get breakfast. They went to a little hometown restaurant downtown, and enjoyed their meal together.

After they were done, Colby started driving down a road that Rebecca had never been to. She thought they were going to go back home and watch a movie together, but now she didn't know what was going on.

She looked around at their surroundings, seeing trees, a few more rocky roads, and flowers. She began growing nervous as he just looked at her with a smirk. "Lopez, where are we going?"

Colby turned his head forward and acted like he didn't hear her. "Those flowers are pretty aren't they?"

Rebecca rolled her eyes and looked back out towards the flowers. "Yeah..." She then sighed. "They're beautiful, actually."

Colby nodded and drummed his thumbs on the steering wheel, moving his head along to the radio. "Hey I forgot to ask, did you get to clean that old lady's teeth Thursday?"

Rebecca turned towards him annoyed, as he was still ignoring her question. She sighed, "Yeah I did. She was so sweet but she talked my ear off. I had a whole lobby of patients waiting on me, and all she wanted to talk about was her children and her experience with pregnancies."

Colby shook his head with a laugh. "Maybe she was trying to give you tips, ya know? I mean, she could clearly see your pregnant, so she was probably trying to help you out."

Rebecca pressed her lips together as she stared ahead, watching Colby move onto another rocky road. "I guess so." She then jerked her head towards him. "Okay, seriously Colby, where are we going? I'm starting to feel like I'm being kidnapped..."

Colby chuckled. "Maybe that was my plan all along..." When Rebecca sighed he continued. "Make you fall in love with me, knock you up, and take you to my secret layer."

Rebecca shook her head with a laugh. "Yeah, sure." She then placed her hand on his arm. "Why won't you tell me?" She asked with puppy dog eyes.

Colby looked at her and grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers. He then kissed the back of her hand and placed them in his lap. "It's a surprise."

Rebecca furrowed her eyebrows. "Surprise?" She then went silent for a few seconds. "Are you proposing?"

Colby turned his head and gave her a look. "Yes, but not today." When he saw Rebecca blush, he smiled. "This is...something else." He said glancing back towards the road.

Rebecca sighed as she rested back into her seat, trying to figure out what it could be. They were surrounded by trees and flowers, and the road they were currently on seemed to belong to private property.

Colby then slowed down before parking the car in the middle of the road. "Since this is a surprise, you need to be surprised, so I brought a blindfold."

Rebecca sighed. "Really? Are you serious? I'm almost eight months pregnant, I'm gonna fall and get hurt."

Colby shook his head as he picked the blindfold up. "I promise I won't let you fall."

Rebecca hesitatingly turned around so that he could place the blindfold on her. He then started the car up again, and drove a few seconds more before parking again. He got out of the car and went to the other side. "You ready?"

Rebecca shook her head. "Don't let me fall!"

Colby chuckled and reached up to wrap his arm around her waist, while the other one grabbed her arm. "Are you okay?"

Rebecca nodded as Colby guided her towards him. "Yeah..."

Colby shut the car door and placed a hand on her lower back while holding her hand out with the other one. He smiled when he looked at the view in front of him, and felt a rush of excitement.

He walked a little further before stopping. He readjusted Rebecca carefully, before standing in front of her. "Okay, you're here."

"You're making me nervous..." She said grabbing his arm.

"There's nothing to be nervous about, honey." Colby reassured her. "You can open now."

Rebecca grabbed the blindfold and slipped it off, and her breath caught when she looked up. She was silent for a few moments, trying to comprehend what he had done. "You...how—" She smiled and looked at him.

Colby grinned. "I bought it..." He then spread his arms out in the air.

Rebecca smiled as she teared up. She walked up to Colby and wrapped her arms around him. "I can't believe you bought it!"

Colby wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes smiling. "I knew you had you're heart set on it."

Rebecca gave him a squeeze and looked up at him with a huge smile. "I love you so much!"

Colby smiled and cupped her cheek. "I love you so much more..." He leaned down and connected their lips for a few moments, then rested his forehead on hers. "Welcome to our new home, Becks."
