My Best Friend's Dad

Part 22

Natalie's POV 

When Jared told me that Izzy was planning to have a baby with Jeremiah I immediately felt jealous. I want to have a baby. I have always wanted to be a mother, I love kids and I am really good with them. Every time I'm around my cousin she always follows me around no matter where I go. Anyways my point is that I want to have a baby but I don't want to get behind in school. I guess I could talk to Jared about it and see what he says. 

¨Hey Jared.¨ I said, I got up and straddled him, looking into his eyes. 

¨Yeah what is it, my love?¨ he asked. 

¨I want a baby. I know I'm only a junior but I'm sure I can keep up with all my schoolwork and I know that you will be a good dad. If we have to get a nanny then I am good with that, I just think that we will work anything out. And we can have our kids at our wedding.¨ I said, he looked at me and smiled. 

¨Are you sure? I mean you're 17 still. What would people say?¨ he asked. 

¨You're a lawyer Jared, we can be together.¨ I said. 

¨Well, there is something I want to tell you.¨ he said. 

¨What is it?¨ I asked. 

¨We were supposed to have an arranged marriage.¨ he said. 

¨Wait what?¨ I asked. 

¨When you were born your dad was making a business deal with a company, you were supposed to marry someone else but they decided it should be me, someone who you really know.¨ he said. 

¨So wait, if I'm getting this right, I'm supposed to be your wife right now.¨ I said 

¨Yes you are.¨ he said. 

¨Wow, not only did my dad keep the secret about my birth mother but he also kept the secret about us having to have an arranged marriage.¨ I said. 

¨I know it must be upsetting but we can always wait to get engaged,  I mean if you want our kids at our wedding then we can wait to get engaged.¨ he said. 

¨Yeah or we can just get engaged now, I mean it wouldn't be so bad.¨ I said. 

¨I am so glad you said that, I need to get something real quick.¨ he said, I looked at him questioningly while he walked over to his closet. 

¨What are you looking for?¨ I asked him 

¨You'll see, close your eyes.¨ he said. 

I closed my eyes and heard a loud noise. 

¨You can open them now.¨ He said, he was on the floor with a tiffany box in his hand. 

¨Jared¨ I said. 

¨Natalie. I know we just got together as boyfriend and girlfriend but I've known you your whole life. When I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one for me. Now I want to take our relationship to the next level. You make me so happy and I love you so so so much. The thought of not being with you scares me and I can't imagine what my life would be like without you in it. I just want you to know that you are my sunshine in a storm. You are my smile when I feel like crying. You are my laugh when I don't even feel like smiling. You are joy when I'm not even happy. You are my everything and I am so glad I am with someone as beautiful and as strong as you. I can't wait to see you in a wedding dress and see you pregnant with our child. I can't wait to see our kids turn into someone as beautiful as you. Everyday I ask myself  how I got so lucky to have someone like you in my life and the answer is I don't know. All I know is that I want to marry you. I want to marry all of you. I want to marry your perfections and your imperfections, I want to marry you for who you are. I love you so much Natalie. Will you marry me?¨ he asked with tears in his eyes. 

¨Of course I will.¨ I said. He smiled and took the ring out of the box and put it on my ring finger. 

¨I love you Jared and I always will.¨ I said again. I looked at the ring and admired it, it was so beautiful, I can't believe it.
