Then we didn’t say anything more as our baby came onto the screen.
I didn’t have time to freak out until we were walking outside.
“What about your disorder?” I asked. “Are you high risk?”
“I technically am,” she said as she walked beside me, looking at the photos that the lady had given us. “But not until delivery.”
I felt my heart stutter at that.
Delivery.
With a blood-clotting disorder.
If I didn’t die by getting shot in the face, I wouldn’t die with having to worry about my soon-to-be wife.
I could do this.
I could do this.
“You’ll let me go to every appointment from now on,” I told her.
She snorted. “Appointments are boring. I did tell you to come to the fun one, anyway. But yes, if you want to go, I’ll make sure that you can. I have one next week if you want to go ahead and ask the questions I can see in your eyes.”
“You’re not even looking at me,” I pointed out.
She rolled her eyes my way. “I didn’t need to.”
We got into the car, and I reclined it to ease the stress on my stupid brain.
We drove straight to a restaurant that I hadn’t realized we were going to.
Instead of asking her why we were here, I decided to just go with the flow because my brain was already processing plenty of information right now. If she wanted to go eat, I’d let her and accompany her gladly.
I walked into the restaurant on my own steam.

“Happy birthday, Kobe.” My fiancé kissed my cheek.
I narrowed my eye and glared at her. “Don’t you think you’ve given me enough surprises today?” I asked.
Her eyes twinkled as she said, “Never.”
I pulled her into my side and kissed her.
When she pulled away, breathless, she said, “I still haven’t said yes.”
My remaining eye glittered with anticipation as I said, “You will.”
“Happy birthday, Kobe.” She narrowed her eyes. “I can’t believe you thought I’d forget your birthday.”
“Not thinking you’d forget. Hoping,” I pointed out.
Birthdays had never really been my favorite things, but I had a feeling that now they would be.
JP made her way to me with balloons and said, “Happy birthday, Kobe!”
