Lily's POV.
Next day, I go to live with Emma for two days just so I don't cross paths with Ryan and also because I was not feeling that well.
"Hi, Lily. Look Ethan, your favourite aunt is here." Emma says.
"I think you are forgetting but I am his only aunt." I say and see Ethan rush towards me.
"Aunt Lily, look what I made for Eve." Ethan says as he shows me the scrapbook he made.
It has pictures of us family with names under it and some moments we had on different holidays. I did this for Ethan once just like Lucas did it for me. It is like a tradition in our family.
"It is beautiful and you are on point in some pictures." I say as I show Emma a picture of Lucas cooking a meal for us which Ethan tagged as 'Reasons we shouldn't let Dad in the kitchen.'
We laugh at that and make fun of some of them. It really made some of my da
Lily's POV.I blink my eyes open when I feel drops of water and look up to see the dark sky then Ryan comes into my view. I slowly sit up by his support and drink some water he brings for me."Looks like my proposal really made you swoon just like Vance said." Ryan says as he sits beside me."Is there any possibility that I was dreaming all of that?" I ask."Nope." Ryan says with a small smile."Okayyyy." I say as I try to understand what happened earlier."You should know this first before you answer that this was not spur of the moment decision. Guess girls aren't the only ones who weave dreams." Ryan says and I stop breathing for a second.
Lily's POV.We took his car to the restaurant where we had our first date. Our regular host congratulates me when he sees the ring on my hand. When he goes to offer complimentary champagne, Ryan denies it. So, the host promises us to give dessert to congratulate us.I look at Ryan who is looking at my ring finger like he still can't believe that I said yes and we are engaged. I smile at him and shake my head when he looks up and he smiles nervously."Believe it. We are together." I say as I kiss his hand."Not until we are at the altar." Ryan says.I giggle and say, "Well that could be arranged if we call Richard and inform him about it.""Well that is one thing I am dreading t
Lily's POV.Ryan and I take his car and leave the building. I duck in the seat when I see my brother entering the garage. We were just saved by a second."When are you going to tell Lucas?" Ryan asks."Maybe the weekend before your parents' anniversary." I say."Why then?" He asks."Because if I tell him now, I fear he might spill the beans in front of Richard." I say."Okay." Ryan says."We will do one thing. We will invite my whole family to have dinner with us on that weekend and I will tell him. Great idea?" I ask."Whatever you say, dear." Ryan says as he kisses my hand.
Lily's POV.We go to the hospital afterwards and I literally jump in excitement when Dr. Miller tells me that we are having a boy. Ryan grinned at my silly reaction and kissed the side of my head."Well everything looks good but you have to keep up with your diet and have to add a few more things and remove some of them." Dr. Miller says and writes down the name of a nutritionist we should meet.She also tells me to be careful and not overdo anything other. I nod along on her every word but when she suggests I should eat chocolates daily, I literally want to kiss her.Ryan and I just exited her cabin with a smile on our faces. But my smile soon fades away when I see Richard and Heather in the distance. They have yet to notice us.
Lily's POV.Next day, Ryan gets the news that he has to go to San Francisco for an emergency on Monday. I really get pissed but try to understand his responsibilities."I promise, I will finish my work before Friday and we will go to the island together." Ryan says as he gives me a light peck on lips as I pass him his clothes."It is not about that. I just feel alone when you are not here. Even though Lady and Teddy are great company, they miss you too and that makes me miss you even more." I say as I sit beside his bag on the bed."I know dear. But if I complete this work, I would be free for a whole week and I promise that week would belong all to you." Ryan says."Oh! How I hate it when you are logical and totally co
Lily's POV.I look at Freya as she has lunch sitting beside Ryan and I don't know, rather to glare at her or Ryan. But I don't glare at him as his appetite has seemed to vanish just like mine. I hear the ping of my phone and look at it to see Ryan's message.'Please eat. If not for me then for our little bun.''Okay. But only for you. Please, you eat something too then meet me in the library. I really want to know how she knows about the baby.' I text back.I have some chicken noodle soup which Ryan had ordered for the chef to make for me earlier and see some relief in his eyes. He starts to eat too.When Freya whispered those words in my ears I was shocked but didn't show it on my face.
Lily's POV."Exactly what it looks like." Ryan says as I go to stand near him and he wraps his arm around my shoulders."But dear you should have told us about it before revealing it to the media like that." Heather says."Mom, I was-" Ryan goes to say but Richard interrupts him."You answer to me first, Ryan. You got Lily pregnant, is that why proposed to her?" Richard says with anger burning in his eyes."No. He proposed to me because he loves me just like I do. He didn't even know that I was pregnant when he proposed to me." I say in Ryan's defence, "Look, why don't we all sit down and discuss this calmly. Please.""Lily is right, Richard. We should sit down and talk about t
Lily's POV.The next week was going smoothly. Ryan and I got settled in our routine around each other.We would wake up together and have breakfast then he drops me at my workplace then goes for his company. Then he will make sure that I had my lunch by asking Lia to make my favourite lunch everyday and his guard delivers it for me.He would either pick me up from my work or send someone to pick me up. Then we will go back home together and have dinner. We would then take Lady and Teddy out for a walk then go to sleep after our sweet love making.I love every minute I spend with Ryan. He takes care of me very much and also assures me of his love on every chance he gets. I love when he showers me with sudden sweet kisses. I love it when he hugs me tightly. I love it when he caresses my b
