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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA1aSWxaDWGU
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."
114Please respect copyright.PENANAgZP59R3e8t
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAD3uo24XAVg
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANANu8W4DIp2T
"I have something to tell..." she said. She was ready to tell him.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmVa11d55wJ
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.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAv2XK8SvnGt
Ezekiel frowned. "If you are not feeling well, why didn't you tell me?"
114Please respect copyright.PENANAiVeFARExXG
"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."
114Please respect copyright.PENANAFiPJhfuHgB
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?"
114Please respect copyright.PENANAxUeKuAso9I
Ezekiel was still looking at her.
114Please respect copyright.PENANA3ltnmnmjtD
"Zeke... I'm pregnant."
114Please respect copyright.PENANAN7ML3tzGL4
There was a short silence. It was a bit embarrassing since it was the first time she said it.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAGwOFrjEz9I
"Really?"
114Please respect copyright.PENANATUy0Eb5tPe
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?"
114Please respect copyright.PENANAGwHNYi0wDr
"Very."
