As soon as I uttered those words, it was like everything in the world had stopped moving. No wind was blowing. No car horns from the traffic below us. Absolutely nothing...

I had my eyes closed so maybe I had died right then and there. However, I still felt his eyes on me so I was still alive. My heart started beating so loud that in my ears. I finally said it as I had planned. I'm happy I had finally gotten it off my chest. Now to only expect the wors-

Suddenly, I was pulled into a hug. "Fucking finally!" He pulled away, kissing me strongly. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that."

I blinked for a moment. "Wait. You've been trying to get me pregnant?"

"Duh. Kimora, you know how passionate I am about spending my life with you and wanting children." He explained, holding my face in his hands.

I blushed, glancing away from him but, only for a moment. "I-I'm glad you're so happy. I thought you would've wanted me to get rid of the baby or say we weren't ready o-or leave me..."

Anger flashed in his eyes. "Do you really expect me that much from me?"

"I'm sorry..."

"It's understandable..." He shrugged. "When did you find out?!"

His excitement put all my nerves at ease. "Um... a little before when I was in the hospital after Adam tried to kidnap me..."

"YOU KEPT IT FROM ME A WHOLE MONTH?!" He dropped down to the ground, looking defeated. "I'm hurt."

"I'm sorry..."

"Stop apologizing. I know your reason for not telling me and it's okay..." He got on his knees, hugging me while resting his ear on my stomach. "I'm glad you didn't tell me too late. I didn't miss anything. Carson is in there."

I rolled my eyes. "No. It's definitely Elena. And you can't feel the baby yet." I giggled and he stilled stayed there nonetheless. "I know but... the thought counts." He kissed my stomach and butterflies erupted in my stomach.

He finally got up off the ground and it was like a lightbulb went off in his head. "Wait a minute. I didn't hurt the baby did I?"

"What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I mean, from the number of times we had fucked-"

"Please don't say that." I moaned in distaste. "And no, it's fine."

"Okay. Good because..." He lifted me up in his arms and I yelped as he carried us back into the hotel room. "I want to do some celebrating."

"Do you take Jennifer Arielle Couture to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do!"

"And do you take Christopher Vince Beaumont to be your lawfully wedded husband."

"I do!"

"By the power of your love and commitment, and the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride!" The minister announced, glancing between Chris and Aunt Jenna.
