Katherine stared at herself in the mirror. Her stomach growing into a bump. The bump was visible, round, and big. Katherine was relieved when she was out of the danger zone, first trimester. She was in her 22nd week of pregnancy. November 2nd is the date of today. Her due date in March.
Katherine smooth out her dress to see the outline of the bump. Nathaniel was in love with the bump when it first shown. His hand constantly touching it and his eyes peeking at every second.
"Hello, my child. It's your mother speaking. I hope your doing well in there. Just a few more months and you'll be here with me and Papa," Katherine said, rubbing her bump
"I wish they were already here," Katherine jumped and saw Nathaniel through the mirror
"Do you wish to give me a heart attack or pee on myself?" Katherine said, placing her hand on her heart
"Neither of those. Now, what are you doing in front of the mirror?" Nathaniel asked, coming behind her, wrapping his arms around her
"My bump has gotten bigger since last week,"
"That just means the little one is growing and wants to meet mama and papa," Nathaniel stroking her bump
"I just can't believe it. In a few more months, they'll be a little one here in our arms,"
"I can't wait. You'll be a perfect mother," Nathaniel kissed her cheek
"Okay, stop being gushy," Katherine patted his cheek, "Now, tell me why I'm here?"
"Oh, right," Nathaniel let go of her and left the room
Katherine followed after him. Nathaniel grabbed a folder from a cabinet, turned around and backed up when he saw Katherine right in front of him
"Are you trying to kill me now?"
"No. Now, what is that in your hand?" Katherine asked, about to grab the folder
Nathaniel held it behind his back, "You know, it's rude to yank something out of someone's hand,"
"Well, I want to know what's in that folder," Katherine whined
"You don't need to whine. I'll show you what's in the folder. Now, sit on the couch," Nathaniel said, walking over to the couch
Katherine followed him and sat on the couch. Nathaniel placed the folder on the table and slide it over to Katherine.
"Open it," Katherine looked at him and open the folder
She read it and looked back at Nathaniel, her eyes wide open.
"Marriage?" Katherine said
"Yes. I know you probably won't want to marry me since we've only been together for less than a year, but I decided to take the risk," Nathaniel said
Katherine looked back at the paper.
"You don't have to sign it. We'll get married when you're ready,"
"And if I said, I'll sign it. What should our last name be?" Katherine asked, a smile on her face
Nathaniel mouth open when he heard Katherine say those words. He grabbed her hands and pulled her close to him.
"I fucking love you," Nathaniel kissed the top of her head
"That'll be a long last name," Katherine laughed, hitting his shoulder
"Whatever last name you want. I'm just so happy," Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her
"Nat, I'll need your help since we're going to have the same last name,"
