Briana's POV.
Today is Cam & I's one year anniversary and honestly, I didn't think we'd be where we are now — living together with a baby on the way.

Aside from it being our anniversary, today is also the first game of the season, and Cam gets to start. I'm happy for him, but the downside is it's an away game, and he's all the way in Arizona. Now I'm stuck in this big ol' house by myself.

While I was sitting in the living room waiting for the game to start, the doorbell rang. I walked to the door, looked through the peephole and opened the door.

"Delivery for Briana Williamson."

My eyes widened seeing the many bouquets of roses. I told the guys to just put them on the kitchen counter, and they left.

"What'd I do to deserve this?" I thought out loud.

I picked up the note that was propped up against the big jar of cherry Jelly Belly jellybeans, that I'm just now noticing, and a smile spread across my face.

Happy anniversary, baby.
I really wish we could've been together today, but try not to miss me too much.

I got you 365 roses for putting up with my foolishness for 365 days. I know that's cheesy, but that's who I am, and that's why you love me.

Also, I got you that big jar of jellybeans, so now you don't have to send me to the store at ungodly hours.

I love you, and I'll see you soon, baby girl.

Love,
Cam

I smiled and put the note back down. I can't wait for him to come home.

I opened the jar of jellybeans, the one thing I've been craving the last four months, grabbed a handful and went back to the living room to watch the game.

12:30 a.m.

Unfortunately, Carolina lost, 28-21, but they played well. And seeing as it was Cam's first game as starting quarterback, he did really good. I'm proud of him.

Cam called earlier and said they would be back within a couple hours. I wanted to be up when he got home but I was entirely too sleepy, so I fell asleep.

Cam's POV.
I was disappointed that we lost, but I know I can't dwell on it. I can only work harder so that we win the next game. Right now, the only thing I'm focused on is getting home to Briana. I hate that she had to stay home alone.

I pulled up in the driveway of our house, and it was dark, with the exception of the light in our bedroom.

I walked inside and went straight to the bedroom, where she was asleep. She looked so adorable.

I kissed her forehead, and her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey," she smiled, "good game."

"But we lost."

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Y'all still played well, Cameron."

I chuckled lightly at how sleepy she sounded as she sat up.

"I have a surprise for you," I said, standing up from the bed.

She raised her eyebrow skeptically. "What kinda surprise?"

"Follow me."

I told Bri I wanted to do the nursery for her and surprise her. She's been trying to get in here for days, but I wouldn't allow it.

I opened the door to the nursery, turned the light on, and she gasped.

"Cam, it's so cute!"

She stepped inside the room and while she looked around, I pulled the real surprise out of my pants pocket.

Briana's POV.
When I turned around to tell Cam how much I love the nursery, I was not expecting him to be down on one knee and holding a little black box.

"Bri, baby, you know I love you, right?"

I slowly nodded because every word in my vocabulary got stuck in my throat.

"I know we're young, very young, but I can't see myself with anyone other than you. I don't even want to imagine being with anyone else. I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

He opened the box as tears rapidly rolled down my cheeks. This was definitely a surprise.

"Briana Williamson, will you marry me?"

I hadn't said anything, so I didn't want him to think I was saying no. I just couldn't get the words out.

"Yes," I said a little above a whisper. "Yes, I'll marry you."

He gave me a wide smile and slipped the ring on my finger. He stood up and caressed my face while kissing me passionately.

Once he pulled away, I let out a content sigh. We smiled at each other, then he led me back to the bedroom, where we talked until fell asleep.
