It's been about two years since I recovered. Today is Charlotte's 15th birthday and she has all of her friends over. "Hello Austin" I smiled as one of Charlotte's good friends walked in. "Hello Mrs. Martin, how are you today?" He asked. "I'm doing just fine. You can call me Dove you know" I laughed. "Well thank you. Uh is Charlotte around?" He asked, I knew he was feeling a bit off. "Yes she's is in her room upstairs to the left" I replied. He kindly thanked me and walked away, what a nice boy.

Charlotte's POV:
I sat in a circle with all of my friends, we were playing guess that song on YouTube. Once the song started playing I heard "just a small town girl" and I knew what it was. "Don't stop believing by journey!" I yelled. "You butt, I was going to say that!" My best friend Amanda yelled at me. I laughed and turned around, there stood Austin... my all time best friend.

Austin's POV:
I walked up the stairs and opened Charlotte's door. "Don't stop believing by journey!" She yelled. Ah, they are playing guess that song.. her favorite game. She looked back at me and I panicked. "Austin!" She yelled, getting up and walking to me. I embraced her in a quick hug and said happy Birthday. "Thanks Aussie. Take a seat" she offered, I obviously took the offer.

Charlotte's POV:
I kinda like Austin, I mean who wouldn't? He's good looking and super sweet too. His blonde hair fell perfectly on his forehead and his green eyes sparkled like jewels. I wish I didn't like him though, I just know that he doesn't like me in that way and I feel I'd ruin our friendship. I shook away my thoughts and returned to the game.

Dove's POV:
I finished setting out the styrofoam cups and plates, when I was done I pulled the soda bottles from the fridge and set them down. As I made my way to Charlotte's room I picked up a couple pairs of she's that I found on the ground. "Okay" I said as I walked in. "I have three pairs of shoes.. claim them" I joked. Amanda, Jessica and Jonathan stood and grabbed their shoes from me. "Okay I have pizza for dinner and some soda. I also have fritos and dessert for after" I said. Everyone stood up and walked down to the kitchen waiting for me to help serve slices of pizza.

Finally the party was over and all of the kids went home. I finished cleaning and sat down for once in like 4 hours. "Hey honey" Harvey said as he sat down with me. "Hi Harv, today was exhausting" I sighed. "I know... which is why I'm hoping what happens next will make your day less boring" he said. I waited, unsure of what he'd have in store. "Dove Martin, for the amount of time I had known you I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Now I finally think it's the right moment and I want to ask you..." he paused, pulling out a box. This sent my emotions through the roof. He opened the box revealing a beautiful ring. "Will you marry me?" He asked. I nodded feeling tears stinging my eyes. "Yes!" I beamed, throwing my arms around him. "Oh... my... gosh..." I heard. I looked over and saw Charlotte standing with her jaw dropped. "Yay!" She squealed. "Come here Charlotte" I smiled, holding my arms out. We all did a family hug sort of thing and then it was bed time.

"And do you Harvey kitt mills, take this woman, to be you wife?" The minister asked. I looked in Harvey's eyes, "I do" he said with a smile. "You may kiss the bride" he said. We leaned in and our lips met... this is the moment, the moment that I am now Mrs mills. The moment that marks the rest of my life.

I sat down at the breakfast table feeling sicker than ever. I'd thrown up 4 times in two hours. How was I going to tell Harvey?

Here's what happened... Harvey kissed me and... anyways, I woke up three days later just feeling under the weather. I threw up a couple times and I knew what was wrong.

I tapped my fingers on the table, waiting for Harvey to get home with Charlotte, he picked her up from school today. Finally they walked in and my gut twisted. I ran to the bathroom quickly and got sick, causing Harvey to run in. "Hey what wrong? Are you sick?" He asked, rubbing my back. "Harvey... look in the sink" I said. I watched as he stood up and walked to the sink while he'd soon find out that we are expecting. His eyes widened and he had a giant smile forming. "Another mills family member!" He shouted in disbelief. I giggled and nodded, causing him to pick me up and spin me around. He hugged me tightly, making me feel like the luckiest woman alive.
