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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ryvMN2V0
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."

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.

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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzHrJ9TT89
"I have something to tell..." she said. She was ready to tell him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsHbaPE463
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.

Ezekiel frowned. "If you are not feeling well, why didn't you tell me?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuDo3AwRjR
"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."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EbJ7pMKYk
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?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H8tbeqFIr
Ezekiel was still looking at her.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5mDEAS4as
"Zeke... I'm pregnant."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXpY1juYY
There was a short silence. It was a bit embarrassing since it was the first time she said it.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tpn1sAmu8
"Really?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrOcKyVskl
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?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Ib71Tu4U
"Very."
