It was the day of St. Valentine's. He picked up Selene from her work. He made a reservation at the famous restaurant specifically designed for couples, ahead of time. Because he knew, the menu was more special than normal.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you tired?" Ezekiel asked.

Selene yawned. She was sleepy these days, and all she wanted to do was to sleep. "No. I'm not. I'm just sleepy." She said, then fastened her seat belt. "Where are we going? Can we have our dinner at home instead?"

Ezekiel was a bit unhappy that his wife was not looking forward to his surprise. "Hey, today is Valentine's day. Are you that sleepy? Don't worry, we will just eat, then we can go home right after dinner."

Selene nodded and then looked outside. Ezekiel can't help but notice that something is off with her. Selene is like an open book to him. He can see what she was thinking even without her telling him.

When they got inside the restaurant, they were led into a private room. Selene felt like it was the surprise proposal over again. She was busy thinking about when she would let him know the good news. She was not good at organizing a surprise party. She even thought of asking for some advice from her friend Jennie first. But right now, it will be the best time to tell him the good news.

"Selene, is there any problem?" Ezekiel asked. She was still standing at the entrance to the private room, looking dazed. Ezekiel was standing behind the chair he pulled out for her.

She took a deep breath and walked to his side. Before she was able to sit, Ezekiel felt her forehead, checking if she had a fever. She almost burst out laughing. "I don't have a fever." She said.

"I'm just making sure. You know I'm worried about you."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkaTRbjrPp
Selene just rolled her eyes at him and then smiled.

During their dinner, they had small talk, about how was each other’s day and if the work was okay. Before the dinner was over, she made up her mind and prepared herself to tell Ezekiel her good news. She cleared her throat.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9OrLMEiNA
Ezekiel knew that his wife was a bit uneasy and had been wanting to tell him something. And so, when he heard her clear her throat, he looked at her attentively. However, it only made his wife a bit more nervous. "Hey, what is it that makes you so uneasy?" He said.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1JS5N7y58
"I have something to tell..." she said. She was ready to tell him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWlGiJC15t
Ezekiel listens intently.

"These past few days, I don't feel well. I'm always sleepy, I had mood swings, and I get easily irritated. And so, just this morning, I went to the hospital for a check-up." She said. Her voice carried a hint of nervousness and she sounded hesitant, a little.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKIBA7jMwR
Ezekiel frowned. "If you are not feeling well, why didn't you tell me?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9EMbS6fkY
"I don't want to make you worry if it was only just slight fatigue. After all, I was irritable only if my period was not on time."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJt9tIVQmX
Ezekiel was focused on her words. She felt shy about the thing she mentioned. "Anyway, I had a check-up this morning, and do you know what the doctor said?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F0ZzgLOfi
Ezekiel was still looking at her.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W60o4ZoSk
"Zeke... I'm pregnant."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC3tRVFHAM
There was a short silence. It was a bit embarrassing since it was the first time she said it.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLAaabaoHU
"Really?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdd4broomt
Selene can see how shocked her husband was. This is the first time he was caught off guard. And she thought it was really cute. She thought she should surprise him more often. While she was staring at him, mesmerized, Ezekiel made his way to her side and pulled her up to wrap her in his embrace. She can tell he was really happy.

"Are you happy?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK54jz6GTpD
"Very."
