"I love you, Lucas," I whispered into his ear, holding him tightly.

"I love you, Olive."

We kept at it until I reached my orgasm with him spurting deep inside me at the same time. We were so in sync, reaching our peaks at almost the same time. He didn't let me go as we finished, either. Instead, he kept caressing my face, staring deep into my eyes. It was silent, but no words needed to be said. It was absolutely perfect. Heis absolutely perfect.We stayed wrapped in one another for hours, only staring and caressing each other. Lucas, sadly, wasn't inside me anymore, but we were pressed so tightly against each other, it made it okay. I leaned forward, kissing his lips again. He let his thumb rub my jawline as he held my face.

"You're absolutely perfect, Rose. I am sorry I wasn't careful with you. Tell me what you want to do and we'll do it." He broke the silence first with heavy words.

"I don't know what I want to do. We're still so young, and our relationship is still so new. Are we okay with it being more than just us beforeuseven had a chance to start?" I asked him, worried about our relationship as well as my future career. Being a mom has its difficulties, the same way my career would.

"I'm okay with having a piece of each of us live in front of us. I am more than happy to raise a kid with you, to be forever tied to you. My heart would be overjoyed to see the life we created grow. We would make them the happiest child alive. We are more than capable, and I'll stay home while you start your career. I know you'll be a great aerospace engineer, and our child won't hold you back. I'll make sure of it."

My eyes watered as his words hit home. He was telling me everything I didn't even know I wanted to hear. I had no idea I wanted a child with Lucas, not until now. Now I can't even imagine not having it. I began to picture what our child would look like. My mind imagined a little boy, with strawberry blonde hair and deep brown eyes, or a girl with blonde hair and icy blue eyes. I couldn't stop imagining once I started. It was like I was sucked into a happy black hole where things actually went right for me.

"I guess we're having a baby," I finally said with a smile.

"Are you sure, Rose? I don't want you to feel pressured."

"I'm so sure. You'll be a great father, Lucas, I can already tell. A child with you will be perfect…more than perfect, in fact. You're my light and our child will be another," I assured him, kissing him again. He smiled so widely at me.

"You've given me the best gift in the world, Rose." He kissed me again, giving me the most joy I’ve felt in a while. I can't stop thinking about our growing child in me right now.I'm pregnant.

"I don't know about that." I shied away.

"Are you kidding me? It's the most precious gift you could give me. A life between you and I." He kissed me again, pushing away the hair from my face. His words were making me feel better with each statement. Lucas kissed my cheeks, then my neck, traveling down until he kissed my lower abdomen. He did it multiple times, staring happily. I loved seeing him look so happy and in love with our child already.

"Thank you, Lucas." I was so grateful he dropped everything and came here. I couldn't believe he did. No one has ever put me first like this before.

"Don't thank me, Rose. I don't need it. I'll forever be thanking you for this gift." He kissed my stomach again. I felt myself start to cry. I was overwhelmed, and it poured out of my eyes like a river.

"Shh, I'm here now, Rose. I got you…I got you both."

I cried like a small child. I was nervous about the future, but I was so happy to have him. Love engulfed my heart entirely as I started to let myself feel for this unborn child I am growing. I will never call it a mistake..never.

Unplanned? Yes. A mistake? Never!

Lucas' P.O.V.

**Song Suggestion: “The Story” by Davis Naish**

I have my Rose in my arms again. Her sweet scent chased away any and all sadness which had crept inside me in her absence. She was warm, perfect, and somehow mine. She had calmed herself after a while. I hated to hear her cry, but something tells me it wasn't because she was sad.We're having a baby.

I don't think I've ever gotten such elating news before today. Yes, it's extremely early... extremely. Who wouldn't be worried in this position? It's insane, yet I'm so excited. Picturing a child with Rose is something I can't stop doing now. I bet if it's a girl she'll have a sweet round face like Rose with those piercing blue eyes and fiery red hair. She'll have my nose and my lips, and maybe even my height.

I can picture a little boy with my blonde hair, but with her curls and thickness. Of course, I keep hoping they'll have her eyes, maybe shaped like mine, but colored like hers. Whatever they come out looking like, I know they'll be perfect. I'll wait patiently to see them and fall even more in love with them. I hate to admit it, because it's so soon, but I am so extremely excited. This won’t ruin Rose's career either. I won’t let it.

I'll be the one to stay home and care for our child. It sounds perfect to me. I would be so lucky as to be the one to put our child to sleep, to teach them about the world. I'll take care of them both, my Rose and my bud. This moment was perfect. The sex we had when I first arrived was like nothing I'd experienced in my past. The closest, I guess, would have been with Ivy, but this was different…it was more, so much more.

We're tied forever now by the child she grows inside of her. I want to link us in a more official way, too, and I'll ask her before the baby is born. I'll make her my wife, and not just my child's mother. She's my everything, and I'll give her all of me: mind, body, and soul.

"How are you feeling, Rose?" I asked her once she stopped crying.

"Overwhelmed, exhausted, in love, excited. I'm feeling too much," she admitted.

"Go to sleep Rose. I'm not going anywhere. We can drive back together tomorrow morning if you want. Although, I'd like to see the town you grew up in," I confessed, happy to be with her a day earlier than expected.Now to break the news to Lisa and Mom.

I had told them an emergency came up, and I had to go, but I didn't get real specific with the details, and since we were leaving tomorrow anyway, they didn't question it too much. I'm not sure how I plan to announce it to them. Maybe we'll wait a bit. I don't feel like being deflated from everyone's negative comments so soon after feeling so happy about the news. I know they'll say it's too soon, and a kid is a big responsibility. I know these things, but this is where we are, and we are going to make the best of it. I'm going to raise my child with Rose, and no one can tell me differently.

"Okay, I'll take you around town. I'll introduce you to Ian and Joe, and show you all my old hangout spots," she murmured sleepily.
