Lucy was due any day now but still Carter had not asked her to marry him.
“I wonder why it’s not getting through to him?” pondered Lucy. “I’m just going to have to talk to him about this myself.”
When Carter came home from work that night and after they had had dinner Lucy began implying getting married while they were talking.
“Umm Carter”
“What?”
“We have been living together for a while now...”
“Yeah.....”
“And I am going to have your baby any day now”
“Yeah...I can REALLY tell”
“O shut up, anyways; don’t you think we should get married?”
“Are you ready to spend the rest of your living days with me, wake up to me, go to bed with me, do everything with me all the time?”
“Well I don’t have to do EVERYTHING with you”
“Yeah...but still”
“Maybe your right...maybe we should just do it when we both think we’re ready”
“Good” “WTF”, thought Lucy in her head, “he’s still not ready yet?”
“You want ice cream? Having any cravings?”
“As a matter of a fact...I feel like having some cookie dough ice cream with pickles!”
“I was just trying to be nice and asking and you actually want something?”
“Yup,” Lucy said in her sweetest voice.
“Anything for one of my favorite girls...I’ll go get some”
“One of your favorites?”
“Fine… my one and only favorite,” said Carter as he leaned down to give her a kiss.
But Carter had another plan in his mind about the wedding thing.....
A week later
Lucy had been staying home and resting now because she was due any day now, when she started getting labor pains. She quickly called Carter who sent an ambulance to get her. He met her in the hospital.
“Hey how are you babe?” asked Carter as he entered the room.
“I’m not even going to answer that question,” said a tired sweaty Lucy. Her water had broken on the way. “This is the last baby you’re going to be getting from me!”
“Haaha, we’ll see about that”
“Shut up, your laugh is so annoying!”
“Ouch, so I guess all the stuff you really think about me is gonna come out now?”
“Yes! I think your laugh is annoying and your nose is too sharp!"
“Hahhaa”
The nurse tells them that she is ready to push. The doctor comes in and Lucy begins pushing and screaming while Carter holds her hand and tries to soothe her. But of course it doesn’t work. What seemed like an hour later and almost breaking Carter’s hand, they finally heard a crying noise...the baby was out! It was a beautiful, healthy boy!
After the baby was cleaned and handed to the parents to admire, Carter got down on one knee, Lucy just thought he was going to tie his shoelace or something.
“Lucy, I know this is long overdue and I’m sorry about that, but will you do the honor of marrying me?”
“Finally! And the answer is yes!”
They heard cheering from outside the door from their coworkers and they leaned in for another kiss.
