"Welcome back baby!" I said as we walked in back into our home. Nate carried Abby in his arms.
"Home sweet home Bby." Nate said.
"Let's put you down for a nap." I said.
We walked into Abby's room and laid her down."Mommy, daddy?" Abby said.
"Yes my love?" I looked at her.
"Thank you. I love the two of you." She smiled.
"We love you too." Both Nate and I said.
We left her room and slightly closed the door.
As I closed the door I started crying.
"Babe, what's wrong?" Nate asked.
"I'm in shock. We could have lost her-" and from there I broke down even more and went to the sofa.
"Babe, no no, don't think that. Thank God! Our baby girl is home and breathing!" Nate said as his voice broke down a little.
"She's been through so much these past couple of days. It's too much for a three year old! My baby doesn't deserve this. I don't want this to happen again!" I sniffled.
"Our daughter is a strong warrior. She made it through. We just have to be extra careful with her." Nate said. "We made a strong little cookie." Nate hugged me tight and I cried into his chest.
"Better days are yet to come. I understand this experience was scary. Trust me I was scared like crazy. Seeing our baby girl in the hospital like that is the last thing I ever want to see."
"We are going to protect and take care of that adorable little human of ours." I said and wiped the tears off my eyes.
"Yes we are." Nate smiled and kissed my forehead.
A few hours later, Roxy and my mom came over to visit Abby.
"And I can build a triple tall tower. Watch." Abby said as she played with her legos with my mom.
"I'm so happy she's better." Roxy said as we ate dinner.
"Nothing makes me happier." I smiled as I stared at her playing and smiling with her grandma.
"Mommy!" Abby called out my name.
"Yes my love?" I said.
"Where is my purple legos?" She asked.
"Oh they're over your dresser. Let me help you get them." I got up and followed her to her room.
~Nate's POV~
"Ok I need both of your attention real quick please." I semi whispered to Roxy and Amber's mom.
All three of us were huddled at the table."What is it?" Roxy asked.
"I'm going to propose to Amber." I nervously sighed.
"Ahh!" Roxy screamed.
"Shhh!" I shushed her.
She quickly covered her mouth."Oh Nate! How lovely!" Amber's mom said
"I need your help. I'm planning for this weekend." I smiled.
"Awesome! I have ideas!" Roxy said.
"Why are you guys all huddled up at the table?" Amber said.
We all turned around."We are-uh-"
"We are planning a family dinner!" Roxy said.
"Oh how exciting! When?" Amber asked.
"That's what we are talking about." I said.
"Cool, we should do it this weekend." Amber smiled.
I'm going to have to tell Roxy that we have to tell amber we have to cancel that 'family dinner'
What are my plans for this:
A one on one date to a beautiful expensive restaurant by the beach. After dinner we walk on the beach and chill. I will have a set up with desserts pillows and blankets. We will watch the sunset. And I will propose. I might have Roxy to hide out to take pictures and to set up for me. It's going to be perfect. Sounds cliche but who cares it's romantic. Amber deserves it.Saturday
~Amber's POV~This morning I woke up in such a great mood.
Today is our family dinner. A much needed family time.
Suddenly my phone rang.Yellow! What's up Roxana?
Heyyy, so Im going to have to cancel on that dinner for tonight. I'm not feeling well.
Oh no, what's wrong?
I uh-I have the stomach flu. Nasty stomach aches.
Dang it, you want me to come over and make you something or take you some medic-
NO, no uh no need to. I have everything I need here with me. Don't worry.
Oh ok, well I hope you feel better. I'll text you later.
Yeah ok bye
Bye Rox.
After the phone call with Roxy my mom called
Hey mom, are you getting ready!
Hey honey, I can't go.
Wha-but why?
I have to work on something sweetie. The book collaboration I'm doing with the other nurses, remember.
Oh yeah I remember. Well I guess dinner is cancelled.
Sweetie we can always do it again next week.
Yeah we can
Love you bye.
Love you too.
I hung up and sighed. Nate's family also cancelled on us.
"Yo babe, why are you so sad?" Nate sat next to me on the bed.
"Dinner is cancelled."
"Oh no, everyone bailed on us?"
"Sadly yes, and I was looking forward for this day. I really wanted to go out." I sighed
"Well, what if we just go on a date. We haven't gone out on a date for a while." Nate suggested.
"That sounds amazing but who's going to take care Bby?" I asked.
"I can ask my mom. She's working from home. My parents can look after her. No worries, I'll call them." Nate got up and started dialing on his phone.
I got up and went to Abby's room where she was plying with her toys.
"Hey Bby, daddy and I are going out. You're going to gg's and papa's house!"
"Yay! I wanna play with gg's doggy" Abby said excitedly.
I helped her get changed into a new set of clothes and brushed her beautiful brown hair."My mom said she can look after Bby." Nate said as he walked into the room.
"Abby is excited." I smiled.
"And gg said she has a surprise for you." Nate said to Abby. "And papa is going to come and pick you up."
"Now I also need mommy to go change and wear something beautiful." Nate said and looked at me.
"Oh ok then. What should I wear for this occasion? Something casual or-"
"Something fancy and beautiful! We are going all out for this date." Nate said as he interrupted me.
I went to my room and browsed through my closet.
I chose a tight white dress. I started to get ready.
2 hours later I was done and I looked at myself in the mirror. The door opened and I looked up to Nate in ALL BLACK I repeat ALL BLACK. Like dang he is FINEEEE!"Wel well, look at you!" I gasped.
"Look at me, nah my girl, look at you. Dang!" He looks at me from head to toe, mostly his eyes glued behind me.
"I like how we are going all out, we've never really done this." I smiled.
"That's why we are, we've never gone all out." Nate smiled.
"Now where are we going to eat." I asked.
"You'll find out, now let's gooo!"
We headed out and drove off.
Things don't always go as planned but I like this new plan. I can't wait for Nate has planned for the both of us.
