Raising Awesome

Chapter 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Another) Four month time jump~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few months after your five-month appointment, Gilbert is driving you to a fancy restaurant. When you ask why he only responds with 'This will be our last fancy date before the baby comes'. Rain pounds against the car roof as you drive to the restaurant. When you get there he leads you to a secluded table and then excuses himself to the bathroom.

"Even AWESOME people have to go sometimes," he tells you, making you laugh. While you wait for him to return, you look through the menu. You decide on the seafood pasta, something you've been craving recently. Just thinking about the dish makes your mouth water. Gilbert returns from the bathroom and smiles at you.

"You found a dish you like," he asks.

"Seafood pasta. I thought I could pair it with a nice lemonade or something."

"Very nice. I think I'm going to have the same. Seafood pasta is the most AWESOME dish here." Just as he finishes closing up the menus, a waiter comes over, carrying two glasses of lemonade.

"Thank you," you say, accepting your glass. Prussia nods at the waiter as he takes his glass. You place your food orders and the waiter walks off.

"How did he know what we were going to order to drink," you ask.

"A little birdy told him," Gilbert responds with a wink. "A toast to the mommy to be?" You both raise your glasses and drink. As you finish your glass, you spy something glinting at the bottom. You reach into the ice and pull out a stunning diamond ring. You look at Prussia and he smiles.

"[NAME], will you marry the most AWESOME guy out there?" You nod enthusiastically and slip the ring onto your finger. It fits perfectly, the diamonds reflecting the lights above your table. The other table next to you clap as you walk over and kiss him, feeling the happiest you have in years. You were going to have a real family. You talk about wedding plans until the food arrives, and then continue making plans as you eat. You couldn't ask for a better, more caring, romantic, awesome fiance.

The rain still hasn't let up as you drive home from the restaurant. A dark surrounds the car, but you find it sort of comforting. You feel yourself slipping into a quiet, food induced sleep as you ride. You could stay this way for hours.......
