“Yeah okay,” her friend replied sarcastically. I need to be on my own right now and focus on the baby.” Yasmin smirked at the sound of his name, I haven’t chosen anyone. “Unless you have chosen Gabriel?” she asked after the silence. Sergio was still away, he was coming back today actually, and she didn’t want to make her worried or scared. She told her what Gabriel had said and that Ari confirmed it but not that Ari had grabbed her. Yasmin hadn’t told Lola about her confrontation with Ari. I’m a broke unwed mother to be, I wonder what Eema would think of me now.” “I hope so. I can’t afford to have this baby as it is. “They’re probably going to fire me,” Yasmin answered. “What do you think they are going to say?” Lola asked from the kitchen as she waddled over with a bowl of fruit.” She had received a call from the head of the company at work to come in for a meeting that afternoon. She just needed to be away from the thick, dark cloud of drama that hung over her life. Right now Yasmin just needed some time to herself.
She told Gabriel she needed some time to herself and he respectfully obliged, he never rang her and only sent her one message a day wishing her and the baby a good day, understanding that Yasmin wouldn’t reply. He had left messages on her phone apologising but she ignored them. It had been three days since Yasmin’s confrontation with Ari. “Yes, Yasmin answered before he could finish. Gabriel gasped in shock, “did you just say?” “I should take you to the hospital to get you and the baby checked out,” Gabriel offered panicked. “I’m fine it’s just that Iv’e been a little dizzy lately.” When he placed her feet on the ground Yasmin walked over to the fountain to take a seat, “sorry, I was just so happy.”
Gabriel swept her into his arms and spun her around in excitement, almost forgetting that she was pregnant. I want to be with you and I promise to love you and only you.” I always have and somewhere deep inside I think I have always known that. That’s all she needed to hear, Yasmin felt her knees grow weak and before she turned into a bubbling mess which she swears was because of the hormones, she sealed her fate, “Gabriel I love you. I want to be with you, I want to be there for you and the baby and one day I would love to have kids with you.” I have loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you three years ago and I will continue loving you no matter what life has to throw at us. If this baby was not yours would you wholeheartedly be there for me and the baby? Would you still want to be with me?” “I agree with you,” Gabriel said as he reached for her hands and gripped them tightly, nervously awaiting his fate. “I think this whole scenario has played out long enough and I just want to be done with it so we can all move on with our lives and I can focus on this baby.” “I’m not going to beat around the bush,” she firmly said. Yasmin smirked slightly and turned to meet the gaze of her beloved. “Hello beautiful,” she heard his gentle voice whisper behind her. She felt it in her bones, in her soul, with every fibre of her being but she just needed to hear the words from Gabriel’s mouth. She knew that what she was about to do was the right thing. Yasmin nervously awaited Gabriel’s arrival as she stared at the beautiful pink flowers dancing in the wind, lost in thought.
