He looks at the screen and back at me, still not understanding. I finally nod my head at him. “You’re going to be a dad!” I tell him through the fence.
The amazement on his face tells me that no one broke my secret. He jogs around the fence to the gate and pushes his way through the crowd. Everyone is patting him on the back, but his gaze is still on me. He stops only when he gets right in front of me. My hands go up around his neck. I can see his mom crying beside us, while our friends all hug her. Dusty’s hand goes to my waist. “A baby?”
With tears rolling down my cheeks, I nod my head.
As if he still can’t believe it, he asks me, “I’m going to be a dad?”
All I can do is nod, because this gentle giant that is standing in front of me is beyond emotional. There are cameras everywhere, but he doesn’t care. With tears rolling down his face, he thanks me. “You have given me so much. The first day I met you, you made my life better. You are my everything, pretty girl. I choose you a thousand times, always and forever.”
THE END
