Grace had just arrived home from the hospital, seeing her husband's lifeless body.
Her entire family was in the living room, consoling her and trying to comfort her from the trauma, from the stress, just for the sake of her future child.
But Grace could neither stop the tears, nor the wild imagination of her brain.
What if Levi is not dead and this is his another stupid prank? He can't die so easily, right? He still has to give me that grand surprise in the evening and he still has to be there when Tanya is born. He has to make Tanya mad when he will ban her from dating boys until she is forty and he has to intimidate Tanya's first boyfriend. He has to cry like a baby in my arms when Tanya is going to marry the love of her life. And we're supposed to be that old couple everyone in the streets adore and want to be like. He has to be alive, Grace thought.
Suddenly the bell rung and before anyone could move, Grace ran out of the living room towards the front door, hoping it to be Levi, laughing like a maniac and declaring that it was a stupid prank.
As Grace opens the door, the first thing she notices is an unknown man in a formal attire standing in front of her, with a bouquet in his hand.
He gives the bouquet to Grace and speaks, “Happy Anniversary, Mrs Mendes. To see more of the surprise, please come towards the lawn.”
Grace looked at the strange man with surprise and follows him to the front lawn of her and Levi's house.
Her eyes widen as she notices around eight people standing in her lawn, in colourful attire, instruments surrounding them.
As soon as their eyes land on Grace, they bow down and start singing.
Dear future husband, here's here's a few things you'll need to know if you wanna be my one and only, all my life...
And that is when Grace realizes this must be the ultimate grand plan that Levi had and as she saw the people around her sing beautifully for her, she also realizes that this was the moment Levi was supposed to enter the lawn and say happy anniversary to her and dance with her.
But Alas, God had other plans for them.
Grace shuts her eyes tightly, tears flowing down her face as she clutches to her waist tightly.
Suddenly, Grace felt large pain in her belly and another realization sinks down her mind after a few minutes.
“M-my water just broke...”
