A FEW MORE MONTHS went by and it seemed like a blast for the couple. Not only that, Philippe and Nikki seem to be developing a relationship as well. Hannah on the other hand is busy with work and modeling making her have zero time for any dating. She tried to get along with people she’s attracted to but nothing ever works out between them. Christopher might not be seeing her but he’s still in her heart.
Fatima has been busy with the coffee shop as well and she’s decided to continue her education despite it looking like she’s too old for school now. However, she only needs to finish about 2 more years of college.
“I feel kind of sick,” she said before drinking some water and sitting down on a chair.
While she was resting, she saw the door open and Grian ran inside while panting, looking for her. Once he saw her, he ran to her and bent down. “What’s wrong?” she asked with furrowed eyebrows.
“What? I should be asking you that. You told me you were sick,” he said worriedly and she tried not to chuckle.
“I’m just a little sick, it kind of feels like vomiting,” she said and his eyes widened.
“Oh my god, you might be pregnant,” he exaggerated and her eyes widened as everyone in the shop looked at them. “Grian! We haven’t even done it!” she exclaimed and he scratched his neck. “Right,” he answered before chuckling.
Things have been going well and everything seems to be put into place. There weren't any problems, no one is getting in their way and things are calmer now. Until.. After two years of being together, something happened.
Hannah and Fatima were inside the bathroom, anxiously waiting for the result. They were both pacing back and forth in the room, nervous as to what the test will show. A couple minutes later, it appeared. Fatima immediately grabbed it and her eyes widened. “Oh my god,” she whispered and Hannah looked at the test.
“Oh my god,” her sister repeated.
Fatima took a pregnancy test because she was feeling unwell, almost like the symptoms of being pregnant. She told Hannah and the two bought a pregnancy test and hold and behold, it’s positive. “We only did it twice,” Fatima whispered shyly to her sister, and Hannah’s nose wrinkled.
“Did he go too rough?” Hannah joked and chuckled loudly while Fatima didn't know how to react. Hannah hugged Fatima and patted her back. “What if he doesn’t want a kid!” Fatima asked in a panic.
“If he doesn’t then he’s an asshole. But I’m sure he’ll be a great father, Fatima,” she said while caressing her sister’s hair.
THE FOLLOWING MORNING, GRIAN was visiting Fatima and she was so nervous to meet him. Once he arrived, she welcomed him and let him sit down on the couch. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and nervously drank it. “You got this,” she whispered to herself.
She went back to the living room and saw Grian. They both smiled at each other and she sat down next to him. “I have to tell you something,” she said right away. His eyebrows furrowed as to what she had in mind.
“What is it?” he questioned and she was about to answer but his phone started ringing. He looked at the caller and turned to Fatima. “Hold on,” he said before answering the call and talking to the person on the other line.
After five minutes, the call ended. “Sorry about that, baby. What were you going to tell me?” Fatima breathed heavily and was about to answer but his phone started ringing again and she grew annoyed. After five minutes again, the call ended.
“I’m-“ It started ringing again so she grabbed the phone and hid it behind her. “Babe-“ he was about to argue.
“I’m pregnant!” she exclaimed and he took a second to realize what she said and his mouth agape. He blinked a couple of times while looking at her face before looking down at her stomach. “W-what?” he asked.
“I’m pregnant with your child,” she repeated and he couldn’t speak.
She blinked a couple of times and nervously chuckled. “Do you want to raise a kid…? I know you’re busy with the company and.. uh yeah, you might not want a kid..” she asked shyly and nervously before looking down and handing him the pregnancy test she took.
“Fatima…” he whispered and grabbed her by the chin and made her look him in the eyes. “A-are you okay with raising a child?” she asked nervously and he smiled before hugging her and he started crying.
“I’m the happiest man alive,” he whispered.
“Don’t ever think I don’t want this. I love you, Fatima. I would love to start a family with you,” he said and she also burst into tears mainly because of the nervousness escaping her body and the happiness that consumed her. “I love you too,” she said as they both hugged one another.
THE NEXT DAY, THEY wanted to announce it to everyone so they took everyone to William’s bar. They all went inside and he greeted everyone. They sat down on one of the tables and William approached them. “I didn’t know you were visiting?” he asked Hannah and she blushed.
“What can I get all of you?” he asked and Fatima smiled before telling him their orders. Fatima only ordered juice that doesn’t contain alcohol.
“Only apple juice for you? Why?” Will questioned and she shrugged.
Once he prepared the drinks, he went back to their table and served them to them. “Wait- let me take a picture of the four of you first,” Fatima said before pulling out her phone. William shrugged before sitting down next to Hannah and putting his arm on her shoulder while Nikki and Phil were on the other side.
Instead of taking a picture, she started recording instead. “Everyone go smile,” she said and everyone smiled.
“Say… I’m pregnant!” she commanded.
“I’m preg- what?!” Everyone shouted except for Hannah who already knew. The three of them looked at her in shock before looking at Grian and eyeing him. “By him?!” everyone asked, making her chuckle but it made Grian frown.
“Why does it sound like y'all are judging me?” Grian asked while pouting and Fatima hugged him before laughing.
“Because we are,” Will answered and Grian glared at him. She showed them the pregnancy test and they were really shocked by the news. But of course, everyone is happy since they know Grian is a great guy.
AFTER FINDING OUT THAT Fatima is pregnant, Grian has been planning on proposing to her. After a week, he already has everything set up. It wasn’t anything extravagant, it was more simple than what he had planned. He went ahead and rented a yacht, prepared a dining table and hired a chef to cook for them, and hired a violinist to play in the background.
When they arrived, he guided her to the yacht and she was confused as to why they were there. “I thought it was just a simple dinner?” she asked and he chuckled while helping her get inside.
“Of course it is,” he said.
When they got on the yacht, it sailed to the ocean, away from shore. “Definitely not a simple dinner,” she murmured and he chuckled.
Music started playing and he let her sit down on the chair in front of the table. He also noticed she was wearing the necklace and ring he gave her. He smiled to himself before sitting down across from her. “Are you hungry?” She nodded in response.
The server walked to them and served them the food that was picked by Grian. She looked on the table and saw it was lobster and her eyebrows raised before she nodded. (Not fancy, my ass,) she thought to herself.
“I love you,” he said and she smiled before saying she loves him too.
They started eating and after they finished, the lights of the yacht suddenly shut down. “Grian!” she called out after the sudden blackout while they’re in the middle of the ocean.
A couple of seconds later, fairy lights lit up around the yacht that set the mood to something more romantic. Grian also lit up candles on the table. “What?” she questioned as she looked around the place. The music started playing again and she looked confused.
“Would you like to dance?” The two stood up and started dancing slowly to the music. He stared into her eyes, knowing this is the woman he wants to marry.
“Fatima Mendez..” he whispered before he stopped dancing and she raised her eyebrows.
He grabbed the box from his pocket before bending down to his knees. Her eyes widened, realizing what he’s about to do. “You are the love of my life,” he continued talking.
“I would love to have the honor of having you as my wife,” he said and she covered her face out of shock. He opened the box, followed by, “Will you marry me?” Her hands started shaking and she nodded her head profusely.
“Yes, yes!” she answered and he smiled before putting the ring on her finger and standing back up. He hugged her tightly and kissed her on the lips. “I love you, Grian,” she whispered.
“I love you too, Fatima,” he whispered back as they continued hugging each other. He let out a sigh of relief, realizing he got the woman he’s been wanting ever since they were still in college.
