Scarlett couldn’t stop smiling if she tried. She did genuinely love Troy and since Luke had moved on then why couldn’t she? She’d just found out that she was pregnant, something that she never thought could happen. Why couldn’t she be happy, too? She didn’t know if the baby was Luke’s or Troy’s, but since Troy stepped up first then she’d pray that it was his and hope to God that he’d listen to her prayer.
She beamed inside as she stared at him. It was just something about a sexy ass man bent on one knee that just wouldn’t let her say no.
“YESSSSS,” she said, and then hugged him tightly around the neck while kissing him. “I’m pregnant,” she whispered.
Troy’s eyes widened from excitement. “That night?” He asked, cheesing from ear to ear.
“Yes,” Scarlett stated with a prayer said inside her mind that it was indeed his.
“This is the best news that I’ve ever gotten,” Troy responded as he wrapped his loving arms around her, and then leaned down to kiss her stomach. At that moment, it sealed the deal and she knew that her baby was his.

Meanwhile, Luke was getting back inside his car. He was beyond hurt that Anton had stopped him in the yard and told him that Scarlett no longer wanted to see him. He threw the Gordon’s jewelry bag over on the driver seat. There wasn’t going to be a proposal, at least not right then, but he wasn’t going to give up on love with her.
He picked up the phone and messaged her then sadly backed out of the driveway.

Scarlett was so happy that things had turned out the way they had. She couldn’t be happier than to be with a man that would always put her first. He did genuinely love her, because if he didn’t he wouldn’t have ever showed up again after what had happened. He’d forgiven her and had proved his loyalty by getting on one knee. There was nothing that could ruin that day for her; not nothing. As she sat down to the kitchen table to eat the Red Lobster take out that Troy had brought over, she looked down at her cell phone, being that she’d gotten an incoming text message. A blank stare spread across her face.
I know you don’t wanna talk to me, but I just found out that April’s baby isn’t mine. I’ll explain it later, but I want you to know that I’m gonna do everything in my power to get you back. I promise, I won’t give up on our love. I LOVE YOU… Luke
