“I’m so sorry that happened to you, and that you still have to deal with it. But I’ll stand by your side, no matter what. We’ll get through this together.”
He leans over and kisses me. Even though it’s the kind of kiss appropriate for a restaurant like this, it still makes me light headed. “I know being with you will get me through this. Since I met you, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can actually imagine a future.”
Our food comes and we fall into lighter conversation after that. We sit here for hours, learning about each other’s lives. After all the patrons have left, he takes me on a tour around the city to look at the chain of coffee shops he owns. The coffee is amazing and we have several cups as we get to know each other on a deeper level. The more I learn about him, the more I love everything about him. I can’t wait to start our future together.

Two months have passed since Chaucer and I first met in that room at the baby-making club. I moved in with him at his high-rise downtown, and I am now the financial manager at his and Bradly’s coffee shops—no skimming money off the top here. My life is bliss. I never imagined I could be this happy.
Even my friends love him. Chaucer has grown close to Megan’s husband, and Chaucer, Bradly, and Nathan have regular poker nights together. Megan had her baby several days ago, and since the baby arrived before the baby shower, we decided to throw an after party instead.
Everyone passes the baby around. Chaucer holds her and his eyes and smile sparkle, lit up like the Hollywood sign.
“Look at her, isn’t she perfect?” he says as he gazes into her wrinkly little face.
“She’s an angel.”
It’s not long before someone comes over and steals the baby away. People can’t keep their hands off of her.
“I can’t wait to have one of our own,” he says.
He opens his arms to me and I sit on his lap. “You won’t have to wait too much longer, because in eight months, we’ll be having one of our own.”
He practically launches out of his chair, taking me with him. He scoops me up into his arms. “Are you serious? You’re pregnant?”
I laugh as he spins me around. His eyes and mouth open in wide circles. “You’re going to be a dad.”
“Did you hear that, everyone? I’m going to be a dad!”
Everyone cheers. Megan the loudest of all. She’s just as excited for us to raise our children together.
As Chaucer spins me around, I still can’t believe this is my life. I’m with the man I love and we’re about to have our first baby. Life couldn’t get any better than it is right now.
