Asking Ava's dad for his blessing was one of the hardest things I've ever done. He's never been my biggest fan. It took what felt like hours of pleading before he finally gave me his blessing. As much as he would like to hate me for leaving his daughter alone for the past two years, he knows I'm not going anywhere ever again.
"You have any idea when you're going to do it? The suspense is killing me," he sighs. Honestly, I don't. All I know is she deserves nothing but the best of the best.
"No. It's got to be perfect."
He nods his head in understanding. Even though he's moved on from Ava, he knows more than anyone how special she is and how badly she deserves nothing less than perfect.
A knock on the door makes us jump.
"If you two lovers are done in there, Matt and I have something to tell everyone." Morgan's shrill voice echoes through the room. I heave a sigh of relief.
"The queen awaits." Adam stands up from the bed and slaps me on the back.
"Isn't she always?" I chuckle as I head out behind him. If time has changed anything, it skipped Morgan's personality entirely.
When we reach the main room, I spot Ava sitting on the grey loveseat and sit down next to her. I throw my arm around her shoulder and smile in contentment when she leans her head against me.
"We were hoping to do this when we were all here, but Tyler being in Europe kind of threw that out the window. Anyways, we have some big news." She looks up at Matt from her spot beside him and smiles widely at us. Grinning, he hesitantly places his hand over her abdomen.
"We're pregnant!" They shout in sync.
Ava squeals and flings herself at Morgan as I stand up and throw my arms around Matt.
"Congrats, Dad. That's amazing!" I beam proudly before pulling away.
"It is. I never knew I wanted to be a dad until now." His smile lights up the room, warming my heart.
I think we were all expecting this. It was only a matter of time before they started their own family. Everyone knows those two are endgame. All he has to do now is slap a ring on her finger.
I give him one more pat on the back before moving over to congratulate the mom to be.
"I knew there was a reason you were extra grouchy today," I wink, pulling her in for another hug.
She laughs past her soft sobs and I rub a hand across her back. She pulls away, smiling up at me with her tear-filled eyes.
Ava’s eyes are bright with happiness. I snake my arms around her and kiss her cheek.
Three years ago, I never expected I would be in this position right now. As I stand here today with the love of my life and my best friends, I know that all of the ups and downs were worth it. I wouldn't go back and change a thing.
I couldn't be happier than I am right now. Well, that’s not entirely true.
I still have to get her to marry me.
