Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness, and you fill my head with you…
"I told my mom." She said with a smile on her face.
"What did she say?" He smiled as well.
"I think she’s happy." Nina wrapped her hands around Ian and places a gentle kiss on his lips.
"I’m happy too."
She smiled and then looked at the big mirror. She raised her shirt slightly and looked at her belly. She was still at the beginning, so nothing was showing yet. Ian stood behind her and placed a kiss on her shoulder.
When the evening pulls the sun down, and the day is almost through…
He then placed his hand on her belly, caressing the bare skin and placed a kiss on her neck. She closed her eyes for a second but then opened them with a bright smile on her face.
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping, but my world is you…
Nina took his other hand in hers, not taking off the smile from her face. Ian placed another kiss behind her ear and then whispered.
"I love you."
Oh, you fill my head with pieces of a song I can’t get out…
"I love you, too."
That was the night that made him realize that she wasn’t just a girl. She was the love of his life and he loved her more than anything. He wanted to have her forever by his side. He wanted all of her, everyday. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. And it wasn’t just because of their baby. It was because of her.
He had thought many times about marriage. But he just hadn't been sure if she would want that. But it was Christmas. Miracles happened on Christmas. And he decided to try and even if she didn't want it, he would still be there with her, with or without marriage.
It was 24th December, Christmas Eve. Ian was walking, looking at all the jewelry. He came alone, because if Ashley was with him I assure you she would have told Nina. So Ian took the right decision. He wanted the ring to be perfect.
But the thing was that, all of the rings he saw looked simple in his eyes.
So he kept walking and walking until all of the jewelry ended. So he turned back and walked through them again. And then again.
Until he saw it. He saw a ring that was just The ring. He had to propose with this ring. It looked like it was made of two rings, white and rose gold. It was beautiful.
So Ian just bought the ring, put it in a box and got back home. He hid it and waited.
There, he saw Nina looking at the Christmas tree and putting the presents from their friends under it.
