Mei Zuo could see that Xia was getting tired of all the back and forth. One day she was at her own place, the next she would sleep over at his house. Her things were divided into two and this was something that he knew annoyed her. She liked to coordinate her outfits and it would bug her whenever she discovered that a piece of clothing she wanted to wear as the day's outfit was in the other house. Night times were also times that burdened Xia. Being 8 months pregnant was no easy feat. She was bigger, moodier and definitely clingier. Mei Zuo couldn't count the number of times he had to rush over late at night because the baby wouldn't let Xia sleep; he moved too much, which usually meant he wanted to feel his dad's touch or hear his dad's voice. But, despite all that, not once has he heard her complain. He knew it's been tough on her so he decided it was time to make do on the promises he made.

That day, he invited her to breakfast. They were currently sitting beside each other as Mei Zuo fed Xia pancakes.

"Thank you for taking me out today, Zuo. Your son was restless last night." Xia informed him as she ran a hand around her stomach, rubbing it.

"Why didn't you call me then?" Mei Zuo worriedly asked her.

"I didn't want to bother you. You did come over the day before yesterday and the day before that." Xia listed.

"Love, I don't care if I have to come over every day. If it's for you and my son, I would gladly do it." He stated which made her blush. Mei Zuo decided that it was time for his surprise.

"Come on." He said as he stood up and offered his hand out. Xia was confused but she took it and holding hands, they exited the restaurant and made their way to his car.

"Where are we going?" Xia asked him as she buckled her seatbelt.

"It's a surprise." He mysteriously said as he started driving towards his destination. It didn't take long and soon he turned into a long driveway which had a mansion at the end of it. The house was beautiful and Xia wondered who lived there.

"Are we visiting someone?" She asked him and he just smiled as he exited the car and ran around the other side to open her door and help her exit.

"What do you think?" He asked as they both looked at the mansion.

"Of the house? It's beautiful, very modern looking. Do you know the people who live here?" She asked as she looked up at the structure. She could actually imagine herself living in this house, making it a home and raising a family with Mei Zuo. She shook those thoughts out of her head.

"We do." Her eyes widened as she quickly turned to face him. He was looking at her as he held out a ring of keys. Her eyes widened.

"You bought a house?" She asked him in a shocked tone.

"My parents helped a bit but they were all for it. I bought it for us." He told her as he stood behind her and circled his arms around her bump, kissing the back of her head.

"Zuo... this is..." Xia didn't know what to say, when he invited her out for breakfast today, she never expected a surprise much more a house.

"I know you've been having a hard time lately with our baby boy looking for me almost every night. I see you get frustrated when the clothes you want to wear aren't at my house but at yours, but not once have I ever heard you complain. You took it all in stride and I decided that it's time to start making my promises come true. I know that since we found out you were pregnant, everything has gone completely out of order but I believe that we wouldn't be us if we did follow the norm." Mei Zuo admitted and Xia had tears pooling in her eyes as she turned to face him.
