"Happy birthday!" Luke runs to me and picks me up.

He spins me around and I shriek.

"Be careful!" I giggle, holding my stomach.

"Happy birthday!" Paige grins.

"Thank you," I grin.

"Happy birthday adult!" Chase smirks.

I grin and say thank you.

"Ricky taking you out tonight?" Luke asks.

"I honestly don't know," I grin.

My phone rings and I answer it.

"Happy birthday!" mom and Jesse scream.

"Thank you!" I grin.

"I've got your present here, so you can come get it whenever," Mom smiles.

"I love you!"

"I love you too."

 

"Happy birthday!" Ezra grins as I get to his class early.

"Thank you," I smile.

"How's it feel to be eighteen?" he asks.

"Well, Ricky and I aren't illegal as much anymore," I giggle.

"True," Ezra chuckles.

"I'm ready for my baby shower," I smile.

"I wish I could come," he frowns.

"You can! Just say you're a good friend of Jesse's," I grin.

"Good idea," Ezra smirks.

Paige walks in and I sit down with her as class starts.

 

"Hey sweetheart," Ricky grins as I get to gym early.

"Hello," I smirk.

I take a seat and the rest of the class piles in. People have been telling me happy birthday all day. Even people I don't know!

"Happy birthday slut!" Ali smirks.

"Shut up Ali!" Paige rolls her eyes.

"Why are you such a bitch?" I ask.

"Girls knock it off," Ricky says.

We all stay quiet and he tells us we can have a free day. I get on netflix with my phone and watch My Strange Addiction.

 

As I get home I do the dishes and wash clothes. I hop in bed after I finish and take a short nap.

"Baby wake up," I feel Ricky shake me.

I groan.

"Baby we're going out," Ricky whispers in my ear.

I slowly open my eyes and he helps me up.

"Dress nice," he grins.

I smirk and wonder where we're going. I look in my closet and put on a maternity dress that's black with sequins. It's super long and gorgeous. I grab my black flats and find Ricky in the living room.

He's wearing khaki pants and a button up shirt with sperrys. He looks amazing!

"You look gorgeous," he smiles.

"I could say the same about you," I smirk.

He pulls me into a hug and kisses my cheek.

"I love you baby," I smile.

"I love you too babygirl," he grins.

 

"Reservation for Johnson," Ricky tells the hostess.

He took me to Maggiano's, two towns over. It's so nice!

"Right this way," the hostess smiles.

Ricky takes my hand and we follow the hostess to a booth.

Our waitress comes and Ricky gets some wine and I get a Dr. Pepper.

"Dr.Pepper?" Ricky chuckles.

"Shut up," I giggle, taking a sip.

He leans across the table and kisses my cheek. I blush and he chuckles.

"What are you ordering?" I ask him.

"I think I'm gonna eat fettuccine. What are you getting?" he asks me.

"Chicken parmesan," I giggle.

"Nasty," Ricky teases me.

"Shut up!" I giggle.

Our food comes and I chow down. Eating for three people really makes me hungry. Ricky chuckles as he watches me eat.

"Still hungry?" he chuckles.

"I'm eating for three  people," I roll my eyes.

"You're gorgeous," he smiles.

I blush and smile. He stands up, and I look at him.

"What are you--?" I get cut off.

"Jo, I love you so much. More than life itself. I love our creations and you. I can't wait to see our babies. I wanna be with you forever Jo. You're the one, my soulmate," he says.

He gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring. I gasp.

"Babygirl, will you marry me?" he asks.

"Yes!" I say, tears falling down my cheeks.

People around us clap, and I didn't even know they were listening!

Ricky slips the ring on my finger and gives me a sweet kiss. I hug him and hang on to him for awhile.

"Let's go home," I smile.

He pays for our food and carries me to the car. I admire the diamond ring on my finger.

"I can't believe we're engaged," I smile.

"Well believe it babygirl," he smirks.

"Can we stop by my moms?" I ask.

"Anything for you," he grins.

"Have you talked to your parents lately?" I ask.

"Not really," he says.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

"They don't approve of the engagement," he says.

"Figures," I roll my eyes.

We pull up at my mom's home and I get out slowly.

I walk inside.

"Hey mom!" I grin.

"Happy birthday!" Jesse grins.

I give him a hug.

"Hey sweetheart!" mom hands me fifty dollars.

"Ricky proposed!" I grin.

"And you said?" she asks.

"Yes, of course!" I smile.

"Congrats," Jesse smirks.

"Ricky's in the car. I gotta run!" I kiss mom's cheek and hug Jesse.

I walk out to the car and get in.

"I got 50 dollars," I smile.

"Spend it on you babygirl," he grins.

"We should pick out names," I say.

"What names do you like?" he asks.

"Chloe and Leon. I did like the name Aubree but I changed my mind," I say.

"How about Chloe Grace and Leon Ezra?" he asks.

"That's perfect," I say.

I lean over and kiss his cheek.

"I love you," he grins.

"I love you too."
