I stared the diamond ring on my finger, my left hand even looked more precious. It has been eight months since Luke and I got married and this ring hasn't failed to amaze me. We are living in London next to Ashton and Taylor, things couldn't be better. I'm staying home writing a book and following Luke to wherever he goes.

"Hey, I smell something burning on the kitchen" Calum pops on the couch next to me

"Crap, the rice!" I jolt and hurry to the kitchen and save the meal "Can you call Luke and Mike?" I walk slowly back to the living room

"Sure" Cal stands up and walks towards the game room where Luke and Michael are playing video games

I sit at the edge of the table and rest my palm on my belly. Luke and I have been trying for a baby since the honeymoon but so far nothing. I know it's early and stuff but we're both young and healthy, I should have a baby by now. We went to the doctor and run so many tests just to make sure everything is fine and all the doctors told us the same thing: be patient.

But I can't, I know Luke craves a baby and I want one too, I want us to be a family.

"It smells great" Luke says approaching me, I stand up so he can sit at the edge and relocate myself next to him "This looks great, honey" he says kissing my cheek

"Thanks babe" I mutter feeling a bit sad because of the baby thing

We eat and laugh, for the moment I forget about how I'm failing in making Luke happy. Calum and Mike have to leave so Luke and I stay in the couch watching Phineas and Pherb on TV.

"What are you thinking?" he asks kissing my temple

"Babies" I say with a smile "I can't understand why I'm not pregnant yet" I glance to him with my sad brown eyes

"Alaska you know this isn't your fault" he says rubbing my cheeks "We went to the doctor, we are both fine and healthy we just have to be patient" he smiles making me smile too

"What if I never get pregnant?" I ask feeling insecure

"Babe where's this coming from?" he frowns his face "I won't love you less if we don't have a baby soon or ever, I will love you so fucking much until the day I die" he says looking deep into my eyes "Remember my vows? I faced death for you, not even it can do us apart" he pecks my lips and I start to cry "It won't change"

His vows were the most amazing words a human could ever hear. I still remember, clear as day.

We were in a chapel next to San Diego, just the two of us. Luke was wearing his ripped skinny jeans with his Green Day shirt while I was with a black dress and red high heels. He took my hand and waited for the minister allow him to say his words

"The first time we kissed this bright fire ignited from the pit of my stomach until I was covered in flames, you showed me I deserved to be loved, even with my mistakes. I had lost you far too many times to count even when we were together I knew I was losing you, but now you're going nowhere" he smiled with happy tears on his eyes "Things were never easy for us, we're both ride or die and from all the countless times I got close to death, the ones I faced for you made me the man I am today. I could kill and die for you, death won't do us apart because I will find a way to love you after it. That's my ultimate vow to you, love you no matter what. Dead or alive, I got you"

I cried even more while remembering his vows

"These tears better be happy tears" he says smiling and I nod "I love you no matter what, with or without baby" he says kissing my lips

After that night I didn't worry about it anymore.

... a month later ...

We are taking care of Summer today, it's 3pm and I'm worn out.
