Nyle

My heart is in my throat. I feel tears stinging my eyes. I look at Selena and her shoulders are moving up and down she is sobbing. My heart breaks for her. I hug her to me tightly.

"Please don't cry babe."

"I've ruined everything."

"No you didn't. Babe you did not make this baby alone."

Charlie walks into the bathroom. I hand him the test. His eyes go from Sel to me.

"Man." He signs.

Gilbert comes into Sel's room to find me.

"Nyle we go to get moving now. Grab your tuxedo."

"Ok I'll be right there." I sign and look at Sel. We'll talk later babe. Please say you'll still come."

"Of course I will."

"See you in a few hours."

I grab my garment bag and head to the car. My head is all over the place. I've always knew that I wanted to be a daddy one day. I know that I love Sel but this is a complete shock to my system.

"What's wrong?" Gilbert signs.

"You'll be mad at me."

"No. I promise I won't."

"Sel's pregnant. Her pill was recalled six months ago and she didn't know."

"What! How do you feel about that?"

"To tell you the truth at first I was freaked out and excited at the same time. I didn't tell her that though she freaked out."

"She freaked out?"

"Yes. She cried and cried. I don't know my mind is all over the place. I love her so much Gilbert."

"You love her? Does she know how you feel?"

"No. But she will soon."

We get to the Gala and make sure everything is perfect. I go and get dressed. I have reworked my speech over and over. Gilbert comes into the room in his tuxedo.

"Looking good Gilbert."

"Thanks! Sel is here."

I go in search for Sel. When I find her she takes my breath away. Charlie is standing next to her and he beams at me. I look over and see Sean and his date is hidden until I see who she is. His date is Christine. Why the hell would he bring her. I make my way to Sel.

"You look beautiful baby!" I sign.

"You look so handsome honey." She signs. " I am so proud of you!" I kiss her. I take her arm and lead her to the out table. I notice that Sean and Christine will be at our table too. Great just great.

The event begins in full swing and food and drinks are served. Sel chooses a soda and water instead of wine. I wink at her. Christine is scowling at us the whole time.

"Ready for your speech?" Gilbert signs.

"Yes, Sel after my speech meet me in the conference room." I sign low under the table so she can only see. She nods. I stand up and head over to the podium. Gilbert is here as interpreter though most of the people here are deaf there are some hearing people too.

"Good evening . Thank you everyone for coming and supporting our cause. A big thank you to my mother Donna, brother's Nico, Neal and to Gilbert Perez for being there every step of the way. My close group of friends thanks to you all as well. As most of you knew I had to have emergency surgery that forced me to take a bit of a break. I have never believed in fate before but now I know I do. I have met the most precious person in my life. Selena Perez not only are you my girlfriend but you are my protector, my lover and most importantly the love of my life. I love you so much Sel. Come what may we in this together one hundred percent. No matter how many people try to keep us from loving each other. Thanks again everyone. Now lets' party!"

I see her with tears streaming down her face. Charlie is holding her hand and I look over at Gilbert he has his tears flowing. She heads to the exit with Charlie. I leave the stage and I am met by Christine. She grabs my arm and I break free from her and walk to go find Sel. I find her in the conference room. Charlie is standing next to her. He hugs her as he begins to walk out. I thank him.

"I love you Sel." I sign.

"I love you too Nyle."

I fall to my knees in front of her. I wrap my arms around her waist. I look up at her and with my voice

"I love you so much Sel and you too." I point to her belly and kiss my baby.
