Chapter 22

"Luke" I closed my eyes, my head facing to the ground.

"Yes?" he stood up.

"You already know that answer" I smiled, looking back up at his worried face.

"I do?" he asked, confused.

"It's a yes" I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you" he said, our foreheads touching.

"I want to spend mine with you" I said.

We both smiled and connected our lips.

"I love you" I smiled as he said those three words I love so much. "I love you too" I replied.

Luke took out the box again and attached it onto my finger.

"I love it" I smiled. "Sarah and Dana helped me with picking it out" he said.

"They know me too well" I replied.

We ordered our meal, ate then left to go back home.

Hours passed and all we could talk about was what the wedding would look like, when we should tell our parents and one conversation I didn't want.

"Emma, how about a baby?" Luke asked.

"A baby?" I asked.

"Yeah" he said.

"I don't know. I want to. But I don't know" I bit down on my bottom lip.

"We don't have to, if you don't want to. If you don't want to get pregnant, there's always adoption. But we don't have to do any of that" his voice cracked here and there.

"I do, want a baby. I don't want to seem selfish of anything, but how about adoption? To save a kids life from being family less" I finished.

"Yeah. That sounds great" he smiled uncontrollably.

When we got home, I have Luke a big kiss as we went our separate ways.

"Mom? Dad? Kevin?" I asked over and over again.

My mom appeared and smiled. "How was the date?" she asked.

"We need to talk" I said.

I led her to the kitchen and explained everything that happened.

"My baby is engaged! My baby is going to get a baby!" she hugged my so tight I couldn't breath.

"Mom. Can't. Breath" I choked the words out.

"Sorry. I'm just so happy for you baby!" she squealed.

"I want to go see Luke!" she squealed.

I nodded my head and we both went outside.

I was still wearing my gown but I didn't care.

I found Luke and Natalie talking outside his porch gate.

"Mom, stay here" I stopped her and walked over to Natalie and Luke.

"Hey Luke" I spoke up, with my fragile weak voice.

"Emma" he looked pass Natalie and looked over at me with a nervous yet worried face.

"What's the problem?" I really asked Natalie more than to Luke.

"Luke belongs with me! I liked him! He was mine! Until you came along!" Natalie pushed me to the ground.

"What are you talking about you physco?" I asked.

"Luke was mine before, Luke was mine. Luke loved me. But now he is in love with another bimbo" she snapped.

"A bimbo? I'm not a bimbo. You are. I did not take him away from you" I stated.

"Luke! Tell her what you said to me the night before she came here. Tell her!" she screamed.

"I don't know what you are talking about Natalie" I could tell he was lying. I knew everything about him.

I got back up, staring at Luke. "Your lying. Tell me the truth Luke" I said, standing beside Natalie.

"I can't!" he screamed. "Tell me" I pleaded.

"I told her I loved her! Satisfied?!" he screamed.

"Huh. Goodbye Luke" I walked away. "Emma! Emma!" he screamed behind me.

I looked back once more but when I turned back around, I felt hands grip around my waist. "Let go of me!" I squirmed.

"I need to explain!" he yelled.

"No Luke!" I yelled.

"Just listen!" he let go.

"Fine" I mumbled.

"That night, I was telling her that because I felt bad. She was with Matt, he abused her, I felt bad! I told her that to make her feel loved! I didn't mean it! I told her in a friend way! I mean it Emma when I tell you that I love you" he explained.

"That fact that you never told me gets my ticked off" I said.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "Why didn't you ever tell me about this, if it wasn't a big deal?" I asked.

"Because I knew you would freak out like this" he said.

"I wouldn't have before. Now I am" I tried walking pass him but he soon grabbed ahold of my wrist.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"I can't stay mad at you for so long" I whispered.

Luke smiled and kissed me. I pulled away.

"But why did you kiss her"
