i was about 2 months along now. we'd been to the doctor and everything is going well. honestly. my anxiety eases each day. i think i needed this baby, i just didn't realize it. 

"how are my loves today?" gus asked. he was so excited, it made me so happy. "we're good" i said. i rubbed my belly. i had the tiniest hardly noticeable bump. 

honestly life was good. this was everything i've ever wanted. maybe it was just the hormones but this is the happiest i'd ever been. 

"i wish my mom was here. she'd be so excited" gus said. he didn't talk about her a lot. "i know babe. me too. she was always so good to me. but she's still watching us" i reminded him. "i know" he said.

we really were in this basically alone with gus' mother's passing and me still being entirely estranged from my parents. i hadn't spoken to them since i left home all those years ago. we're going to be okay though. i contemplated telling my parent's but i decided against it. they made their choice and i made mine. 

"jj, can i ask you something?" gus inquired "of course" i said. we were both sitting on the couch but he repositioned so he was looking right at me.

"this is never how i imagined doing this and i'm sorry if it's lack luster but i really jut couldn't wait. jj i know we've had our ups and downs but the universe brought us back together and im eternally grateful it did. i truly believe you're my soulmate. i promise no matter what happens i will never leave and i realy want to be with you forever" gus said, his eyes filling with tears. he lowered to one knee in front of me taking out a little black box "jj, will you marry me?" he asked.

"yes" i said without hesitation. i couldn't help but start crying too. we both embraced each other crying happy tears. "i don't even think you realize you're making me the happiest girl alive right now" i told him, "that's all i ever wanted to do" he told me. "everything is so perfect right now" i told him

"and it'll only get better" he promised. "i'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted or imagined i really just couldn't wait any longer" he added. 

"gus it would have been perfect no matter what, as long as it's you" i smiled.
