Riley’s smile widened, her fingers reaching out to trace his jawline with a loving touch. “It’s our one-year wedding anniversary, silly.”
He hadn’t forgotten, of course, but the thought that Riley had gone to such lengths to celebrate warmed his heart even more.
“Ah, right.” Breaker feigned innocence, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. “So, you’ve gone all out to celebrate, huh?”
Riley nodded, a mischievous gleam in her gaze. “Oh, you have no idea.”
Riley took off her apron and they sat down for dinner. During dessert, Breaker reached into his pocket, pulling out a small velvet box. He placed it on the table before Riley.
“I didn’t forget, you know,” Breaker admitted. “I have something for you.”
Riley’s eyes widened with curiosity as she opened the box, revealing a delicate necklace adorned with a sparkling diamond. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she looked up at Breaker, her voice catching in her throat.
“It’s beautiful,” she whispered, her fingers tracing the intricate design.
Breaker smiled, his heart swelling with pride. “Just like you.”
As Riley leaned in to kiss him, a radiant smile played upon her lips.
“I have something for you too,” she said, her voice barely more than a whisper.
Breaker’s curiosity piqued as Riley reached into her pocket, withdrawing a small envelope. She placed it in his hand, her eyes locking onto his with a mixture of nervousness and joy.
Breaker opened the envelope, his gaze falling upon the ultrasound image nestled inside. His heart skipped a beat as realization dawned upon him, his eyes lifting to meet Riley’s.
“You’re pregnant…” Breaker breathed, his voice tinged with awe and wonder.
Riley nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks as she beamed at him. “We’re going to be parents, Breaker.”
Overwhelmed by emotion, Breaker pulled Riley into a tight embrace, his heart pounding.
“Wow,” Breaker murmured. “We’re really going to be parents.”
Riley nodded. “I took the test this morning. It’s real, Breaker. We’re going to have a baby.”
Breaker’s lips curved a smile. They’d been trying for a few months now. This was the second time Breaker was going to be parent. Good thing he had prior experience. He could just avoid the mistakes he made with Cassie with this little one.
“I can’t believe it,” Breaker murmured. “We’re going to be a family. Rage and Cassie are going to be over the moon with the news.”
“A family,” she echoed. “Our own little family.”
“You know, I really thought I would surprise you with that necklace,” Breaker said.
Riley chuckled. “I think your gift just got trumped by mine.”
Breaker grinned. “Yeah, you definitely win this round.”
