Wish You Were Here

September 2023

Manhattan, New York

The ride back to Y/N's apartment was quiet, each lost in their thoughts. Hailee was processing the possibility of pregnancy, unsure of how or when to tell Y/N. Meanwhile, Y/N was thinking about the heirloom ring, knowing he wanted to propose but wanting to wait for the perfect moment.

Once they arrived, they settled into the cozy apartment. Hailee excused herself to the bathroom, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.

Y/N: Want anything to drink, Haiz?

Hailee: Just some water, please.

Y/N poured two glasses of water and sat down on the couch, glancing around the apartment. It was filled with memories they had made together, and he felt a swell of love and gratitude for having Hailee in his life

Hailee returned, taking a seat next to him and accepting the glass of water.

Y/N: Everything okay?

Hailee nodded, taking a sip of water.

Hailee: Yeah, just...a lot on my mind.

Y/N: You know you can talk to me about anything, right?

Hailee leaned into him, feeling the comfort of his embrace.

Hailee: I know. It's just...I'm still processing some things. But I will, I promise.

Y/N kissed the top of her head, giving her the space she needed.

Y/N: Take your time, Hails. I'm here for you.

They spent the rest of the evening watching a movie, enjoying the simplicity of being together. Despite the unspoken thoughts and the anticipation of what the future might hold, they found solace in each other's presence

The Next Morning...

Y/N woke up to an empty bed, sunlight streaming through the curtains. He stretched, feeling the remnants of sleep in his muscles, and glanced around. It was their last day in New York before heading back to LA, where their busy lives awaited them.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes, listening to the quiet sounds of the apartment. The faint rustling from the bathroom indicated where Hailee was. He smiled, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him.

Y/N: Morning, Haiz! You alright in there?

Hailee, standing in the bathroom, was waiting for the results of yet another pregnancy test. She wanted to be absolutely sure before she told Y/N. The seconds felt like hours as she watched the little window on the test stick.

Hailee: Yeah, just freshening up! I'll be out in a minute.

Y/N got out of the bedroom and headed to the kitchen to make some coffee. As the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the apartment, he couldn't help but think about the future and the life they were building together. He knew he wanted to propose soon, but he was waiting for the perfect moment.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Hailee's heart pounded as she looked at the test. It was positive, confirming what she had already suspected. She felt a mix of emotions: joy, fear, excitement, and uncertainty...all swirling within her.
