"You're pregnant?"
It was like he hadn't heard anything I just said. "Yes."
More silence.
"It's yours, if that's what you're wondering..."
"No, that's not...you're pregnant?"
I slipped my hand into his. The spark whenever we touched coursed through me. I could tell he felt it too, because the smile slowly came back to his face.
"Then it's possible that I love this baby even more than I love you." He leaned down and kissed my stomach. "It brought you back to me. And I'm nothing without you, Hailey."
I pressed my lips together and shook my head. "I'm nothing without you."
He smiled. "You still haven't answered my question."
"Are you still asking it?"
He placed his hand on my stomach. "Hailey, I love every part of you. This baby is a part of you. Of course I'm still asking. Will you marry me?"
Together we had grown so much. Together we were better than we were apart. Together we made sense. It felt like a new page had turned. It felt like I was finally free to be me. "Yes."
His kiss made me feel utterly complete. All of this was fast. It was crazy. But if it wasn't for him, I would have spent my whole life searching for myself. The version of myself that I saw in his eyes was everything I aspired to be. I had been broken my whole life without even knowing it, and he had made me feel whole.
"Thank you for taking a chance on me." He pressed his forehead against mine. "Thank you for climbing into my car and driving me absolutely crazy."
I breathed in his exhales. Somehow that was all I needed to survive. "You were worth taking a chance on, Tyler Stevens. You just hadn't found the right person to take the leap."
He closed his eyes. And I knew he was feeling it too. It was beautiful. It was pure. This feeling was better than anything anyone could see. We both felt it in our bones. It consumed us. We weren't broken anymore. When we were together, neither one of us had any missing pieces.
