Recap of America's POV: "Are you going to tell Elliot about the pregnancy?" Mom asks.

"I will if things get serious." I reply with a sigh.

I should have told him, about our children. I should have told him that instead of writing a letter for him to read about my pregnancy. Also, I shouldn't have told Mary to take the letter from Maxon's room without reading it and to burn it, before Maxon could go to his room after his wedding to Kriss. If only...but I guess everything happens for a reason.

- America's POV -

"He is here!" Gerad yells as he excitedly runs into the room.

"Let him." Mom orders and Gerad runs to open the door. We get up and make our way to the door. There we see Elliot standing in the doorway with a tux on and a bouquet of red roses.

"For the lovely lady." Elliot plays around and hands me the bouquet of red roses.

"Why thank you sir." I play along and give Elliot a hug. I turn around to face my family.

"Don't wait up for me!" I tell my family and turn around as we walk out door, hand in hand.

"So, where are we going?" I ask Elliot.

"Patience, my love." Elliot says and he puts a blindfold over my eyes.

"Ellie! I can't see! Also, you will ruin all of the work mom put on my makeup!" I scold.

"It's tied loosely, don't worry. Also, I know you can't see...so I will guide you. Or was it carry you? I think it was carry you." Elliot playfully says and scoops me in his arms and runs to who knows where.

"Ellie! Put me down!" I scold as I try to squirm out of his grip. But his grip just tightens around.

"No chance." He says as he continues to run.

"Please." I say in a high pitched voice as I make my puppy face, even though he can't see my eyes.

"Not going to work on me!" Elliot says and acts like he is going to make me fall.

"Fine." I roll my eyes even though he can't see.

"I trust you." I quietly whisper.

"I you. What has happened of those kids in your class? Are they still mean and unthoughtful?" Elliot asks.

"Yes." I sadly reply.

"Well I guess it is time for me to teach them to be considerate." Elliot answers.

"Yes, maybe they will listen to you more. After all you are known as 'Mr. Pierce'." I state.

"'Mr. Pierce'? Why such?" Elliot questions.

"It is because you pierce my heart with love." I answer and Elliot plants a kiss on my lips.

"Like this?" He asks.

"Yes, like that." I play along.

"We are here." Elliot says as he puts me down. He then takes my blindfold of and leaves me speechless at the sight.

I turn around to look at Elliot and find him one knee with a ring in his hand.

This can't be happening! What will he do when he finds out I am pregnant?

"America Singer, I know it hasn't been long since we met and started dating. But, I have fallen for you and can't even stand being separated from you. So, will you do the honors of standing with me at all times through life? Will you make me a better man with your company? Do you want to see little versions of ourself calling us 'mama' and 'dada' with me? Will you marry me?" Elliot asks.

I want to say yes, but he needs to know. Now!

"Elliot, as much as I want to say yes I can't. Simply because I hid something from you, something you deserve to know. If you accept me with this, then I have no problems of spending my life with you. It is all in your hands now" I answer as I gulp.

I hope this goes well....
