Erica's POV:
It had been 10 years since that memory. I don't know why I remembered it right then. I was nervous. I'd found out something that would change my life. And my husband's. I could only hope he took the news well. He probably would knowing him but I was nervous and worried that something bad might happen. 

What if he leaves? What if he-

My husband opened the front door. He walked to where I was and pulled me into a hug. 

"Hey baby. You okay?"

"Yeah."

"You sure? You seem... off."

"I... need to tell you something." I muttered.

"Absolutely babe. Anything." 

"Ben... I-" I stopped.

"Baby I will be here no matter what. You can tell me." He said as he took my hands and stared into my eyes.

"... I'm... pregnant."

"Really?" He said with a huge smile.

"Really."

"Oh my god!" I winced. He threw his arms around me. "That's amazing!"

"What?"

"Oh my god." I looked up and realized he was crying. 

"Ben I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? I always wanted a kid."

"What?"

"I'm not sad; I'm super happy."

"I thought you would be upset."

"Why? I'm married to you, I'm a superspy, and I'm gonna be a dad!"

I took a breath of relief. It felt like a thousand pound weight had been lifted off me and I could finally breathe again.

"You have no idea how happy that made me."

"Why were you worried E?"

"I don't know. I was worried you would leave."

"I'm gonna tell you what I've told you since we were 14." He looked straight into my eyes and held the sides of my face so our eyes were locked. "I will never leave you. No matter what. I promise."

"I know."

"You sure you were worried about me? Because it seems like it's something else."

"What if our kid doesn't like me?" I blurted.

"Erica... how could they not? You are amazing. I know you are going to be a great mom. It might be tough, but I'll be there every step of the way. You are not alone and I will do whatever it takes to protect you guys. I will always be here for both of you."

My eyes watered and he pulled me close. I buried my head in his shoulders as he rubbed my back. He put his chin on the top of my head. He rocked me a little to calm me down. He took a deep breath..

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

"Baby I will be here no matter what. We're in this together. Understand?" He asked soothingly.

I tried to talk but couldn't so I just sniffled into his shoulder and nodded.

"I love you sweetie. I will always be here."

"Love you too."

"Let's watch a show or eat some food to help you calm down. Sound good?"

I nodded again. "Can you order pizza?"

"Absolutely."

30 minutes later we were curled up on the couch watching TV and eating pizza. He was still rubbing my back and had me wrapped in his arms comfortingly.

"If I have to spend the rest of my life with someone, I'm glad it's you."

He looked down at me. He kissed me and smiled. 

"I absolutely agree."
