Chasing Love

3 weeks later...

Jonathan is very excited about my pregnancy. I have never seen anyone as excited of becoming a father apart from Dylan when he found out about his daughter. It's so sad to see so many women left because the guy didn't want to deal with a child. However, John is not like that. He said he will stick by my side and experience every little bit of my pregnancy.

Unfortunately, I canceled my appointment the day John was on his way back to the city and called him over to tell him in person. His reaction is the best thing I ever wanted.

********

My baby: hey babe, can you come over. Because I have something important to tell you. Xx forgive me.

A few moments later, I did not get a response. I assumed he did not have any phone reception yet. I was so nervous that my bladder was bad that I kept going back and forward to the restroom constantly and I could not be still for a second.

Ana was working tonight and my brother was out with my niece enjoying their father and daughter bonding. Suddenly, I was home alone and the best opportunity to tell John, was now with no distractions nor interactions. The perfect silence for me and my unborn child, also the father of my child, when I break the news.

There is still no reply from John and eventually I gave up from calling and sending him 5 text messages and more phone calls. I got comfortable on my favorite sofa in the house, placing a blanket over my small body watching a few episodes of the Walking Dead until I fell asleep.

I was startled with the sound of knocking coming from the front door. I guess Ana was being a dumbass again, leaving her keys at home even though she knew she's working tonight.

A false alarm, it was my beautiful fiancée with a duffle bag over his shoulder and a backpack in his hand. I jumped and threw myself into his arms and examined his face like a doctor with concerning eyes.

"Baby, calm down. I'm alright, I'm just a little dirty from camping." His eyes crinkled a little while he smiled and kissed my lips. God, I miss them lips on mine.

It was unexpected, when I noticed me and Jonathan were inside with his hands and lips roaming all over my body. Fuck, I forgot I'm pregnant no sexual activity. I denied his entrance and his brown eyes filled with confusion.

"I'm pregnant."

He stood there for a good twenty minutes as a statue with no movement from his body. I paced back and forward with my feet buried into the fluffy white rug. I grabbed ahold of Jonathan's bags and move them inside my room. I doubt he's leaving tonight from what he has been told.

I returned back and there he stood with no movement still. I advised he sit down instead of standing up to break the news piece by piece from explanation.

He swallows hard as I drool over the movement of his Adam's apple...

no Liz stick with the explanation.

"Baby, I'm sorry." I fumble with my thumbs with my head hanging low. I felt Jonathan touch with his hands in mine.

I look up and see a tear filled Jonathan. His eyes had began to water. I gently wipe his tears away kissing his cheek. He stops me with his right hand caressing my cheek and his left playing with my hair.

"Don't be..I am so happy that we're about to be parents and we're about to get married." He clears his throat from it being scratchy.

"Baby I love you so much, I will never ever in my life leave you about a stupid decision or a miracle of joy." He places his hand on my small bump.

"I have finally gotten my two wishes." He kiss my lips.

"What is that?" I chuckled and place my hand on his cheek.

"You and another whole that is part of us." He states romantically.

I kissed him passionately thanking him. God I love him.

Jonathan and I have been going to doctor appointments and been planning ahead for our wedding. I decided on so much to do with my wedding and my baby shower.

Our wedding is going to be small but not very big. I didn't want to get married in a church, but I am not against any religion. I believe in the great Lord. However I wanted to have a spring wedding with bright and formal colors in a field or a park.

My suggestions of colors were lavender, champagne, and Pearl. I wanted Pearl because my mother gave me her family heirloom Pearl necklace. It was passed on to her from her mother's grandmother. It was something memorable about my mother. She told me she wore this on her wedding day and she wanted me to do the same then to my daughter. My mother gave me this necklace on my 17th birthday. I just miss her so much. She was my everything. Plus, the necklace would be my something borrowed.

Ana is doing good finishing her last EP album of the year. Then she went back working with her business as an owner and general manager of her five star bar in Florida. Ana has also begin working back on her editing for stories. She has so many passions. Before Ana's singing career, she started out working as my business partner and my editor of my writings since I have gotten my wish becoming Editor in Chief and had the Cooperation named after me. Florida's best business in the state Taylor Publishing Cooperation. While Ana and I were in college, she majored in Business; to own a business of her own and her dream has come true.

Ana

I was back to the old me after finishing my last album of the year with ASAP Rocky and other artists. I denied my contract about doing another tour joining Justin. I need to be here for my best friend and focus back on what I enjoy the most is to succeed even better.

Even though I have a partnership with my best friend in her dream as an editor in chief, I have a business of my own. It's popularly known and I have people all over the globe visit Florida just to come to my bar which is also a restaurant. I took some business from some of my competors sharing the same street.

Today I will be working a 12 hour shift. I was bartendering since my late night bartender had gotten sick and went home early. I did a lot in this place. I cook, I bartend, and I supervise. Sometimes, I also become my own bouncer even though I have one.

There was a pleasant surprise of familiar vistors walking through the entrance. They spotted me running to the bar. I finished a customers drink and ran to the DJ station, Cool Kids begin booming through my expensive speakers. I hugged John and Liz both and motion them over to a table with four seats available.

"What a pleasant surprise." I laughed. Elizabeth laughs with me.

"Yeah I guess so too because I need a drink after what I just witnessed." He jokes. I gasp slapping Elizabeth arm playfully.

She held her arms in defense. "What? He deserves to know now rather than later." I nodding agreeing with her.

Within minutes of talking to Jonathan and Lizzy, I spotted a familiar set of brown eyes smiling at me.

My breath hitched in my throat.

"Hey, Dylan."
