♠Chapter Ninety-Seven♠

The next day, Tazmin luckily had a few morning meetings.

And since it was Saturday, I had the entire morning to figure out how I would surprise Tazmin.

I ended up grabbing one of her favorite watches and took it to the jeweler to get engraved.

We had talked about what we wanted our child to call us—I liked mama and she liked mom.

So I got her watch engraved with the word Mom in an elegant cursive.

And while I waited for it to be finished at the jeweler, I headed over to the grocery store to get the ingredients for her favorite funfetti cupcakes with cream cheese icing.

It was a recipe Elena had taught me and that I had perfected over time for my wife.

By the time I arrived back at our house, I luckily still had an hour to spare.

So I prepared the cupcakes first and then the cream cheese icing.

And while I let them bake, I started setting up the pink and blue roses that I managed to find at the florist.

I also set up her watch in the box that the jeweler sent it home in.

Once the funfetti cupcakes were done, I set them out on a white glass dish—nearly smiling ear to ear at the setup.

By the time I secretly ate one of the cupcakes and drank a glass of water—I could hear the loud garage door.

Which meant my wife was finally home.

And considering we're grilling out with everyone later—we'll get to reveal the incredible news to our friends and family at once.

I drew in a deep nervous breath as I waited for Tazmin to walk in the house.

I even eyed my set up one more time to make sure it was perfect.

Which it luckily was considering how much of a perfectionist I can be.

I suddenly glanced over when the door opened, and Tazmin walked through in her usual loose t-shirt and baggy jeans.

Her blonde hair was perfectly slicked back and her dark eyes were immediately on me.

At least until she glanced behind me.

"Surprise," I whispered, smiling even wider when she approached me with a smile growing on her lips.

"Baby, you didn't have to do all of this," Tazmin whispered as she set the stack of mail she picked up on the counter—pulling me into a warm hug.

My smile grew wider, "I definitely did," I said, feeling my excitement grow as I anticipated telling her the news, "I made your favorite cupcakes and I have a gift for you too."

Tazmin's smile grew as she pulled back from our hug, leaning down to briefly kiss my lips, "I love you beautiful," she whispered, kissing both of my cheeks before she pulled back.
