EPILOGUE | CHLOE ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Five years have passed by  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm sitting on the couch in my living room, staring at the television screen. My leg is nervously bouncing up and down and I'm waiting until Ricky arrives home from work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky and I bought a house two years ago. We decided that it was time to move from our apartment, and now we live in a beautiful mansion, with a magnificent green garden. And I'm so in love with this all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I feel how my hands are clammy and my heart is beating faster than ever. What if Ricky becomes mad at me? Or even worse, what if he breaks up with me? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I glanced over to my watch, noticing that it's already 6:30pm. Ricky is never home this late, especially not on a Wednesday. I tried to push away all these bad thoughts, and just waited until Ricky arrived home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But luckily, I heard the front door opening. I pressed my lips on each other, and kept on staring at the television screen, waiting until Ricky walked into the living room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Then I felt his warm arms wrap around me from behind, "hello, gorgeous" He whispered, pecking my lips quickly. "Y- You're a little late" I hesitantly said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky let go of me and took a seat next to me, while he went with his hands through his hair. "Yeah, I uh- needed to do something." He said, rubbing his thighs. "Oh." I replied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He noticed how nervous I was, so he came a little closer to me. "Babe, what's wrong? You seem extremely nervous..." He calmly said. I swallowed the lump down my throat and grabbed his hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ricky, there is something I need to tell you..." I said, my eyes watering a little bit. He looked at me in concern, staring directly into my eyes. "O- Okay" He replied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I took a deep breath, and opened my mouth to speak, "soon we won't live here with just us two..." I whispered. Ricky stared at me, puzzled. "Are Josh and Maddie moving in here?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I laughed a little and shook my head no, pulling Rickys hand on my stomach. "There's going to be three of us" I whispered, staring into his eyes. I saw how his eyes widened, and he looked at his hand on my stomach, and then up at me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Do you mean tha-" He asked quietly, "yes, I'm pregnant, Ricky." I said. He stared at me in disbelief and I was almost exploding of nervousness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'm becoming father" He whispered in disbelief, staring just in front of him. Then he locked eyes with me, and the cornors of his mouth curled up into a smile. "I'm becoming father!" He shouted in happiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I smiled and tears streamed down my face. "I was so afraid to tell you" I cried, while I couldn't stop smiling. He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me on the lips. "I was afraid you would become mad at me" I murmured between the kisses Ricky gave me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
