Antwon's POV

"Antwon, wake up. You promised me that you'd take me to pond today." Kyra says.

Opening my eyes I see my fiancé standing next to the bed holding her stomach. Ever since she found out that she's having a baby she does that.

She wants everyone to know that she's pregnant and how lucky she is to have a guy like me.

A smile spreads across my face when I see the light from the sun hit her. It makes her look like she has a halo about her head. "I'm awake. Let me get changed and then we can head to the pond."

"What about breakfast? I'm hungry and we have no food in the house."

I laugh. "We can grab something while we're out and then we'll go grocery shopping."

She groans. "You know I hate shopping. This is your place. You should stock it up."

I pull her onto the bed. "If you move in with me we can have it stocked all the time. It's about time we take the next step in our relationship. We're going to have a kid in seven months."

She looks at her bare ring finger. "I won't be moving in here until you put a ring on finger."

I claim her lips with mine, taking her mind off the ring that I'm supposed to give her. Leaning over to the draw next to the bed I grab a velvet box out of it. Opening it I say. "Kyra Melissa Caiden. Will you marry me?"

"Yes," she nods. Tears begin to fall down her face and she wipes them away. "This is perfect, Antwon."

Taking the ring out of the box I slide it on her finger. She leans forward and claims my lips with hers. Pulling away she says. "I love you, Antwon."

My heart begins to race as I open my eyes and look around the room I'm in.

I haven't thought of Kyra since she took her life nine years ago.

Climbing out of bed I quickly change into a pair of jeans and a shirt. I head downstairs to the kitchen and hear Cole talking to Julia about a 1969 Ford Mustang.

Entering the kitchen with Liam they're conversation comes to a halt and an awkward silence falls upon the room.

Cole looks at me trying to make me have a conversation with my sister, but I'm not in the mood to talk to her after dreaming about my dead fiancé.

Julia: Hey, Dad.

Dad: Hey, Pumpkin. I need your brothers and you home ASAP. There's things we need to talk about.

Julia: I have an interview that I can't miss. Can I come by after that?

Dad: Congrats on the interview. It's good to see that you're planting roots in this city again.

Julia: I know. I'll give you to Liam. He'll let you know if he can make it.

She hands the phone to Liam and he talks to Dad for a bit.

Liam hangs up and hands the phone back to Julia. You could give the interview a miss and be there for the family."

Julia slaps him across the face. "Just because you have free time doesn't mean that everyone is able to stop what they're doing to run home to Mommy and Daddy. I need to get myself set up here too. Sometimes I need to be selfish and look out for myself. Just like Antwon and you." Grabbing the food off the table she walks out of the room.

I see Cole's hands form into fists as he looks at Liam. "I've told you two countless of times to be nice to her and you keep on ignoring me. You can fix your own breakfast. I've got someone to keep company." Cole walks out of the room without saying another word.
