Just as John and I enjoyed our anniversary on the beach, a woman in a swimsuit ran up, knelt before him, and said his name. My heart stopped.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cJOHN\u2026 No, please don\u2019t leave me\u2026 John!\u201d I shrieked, waking from a nightmare. This trip to the Dominican Republic was meant to help us reconnect. \u201cReady for our adventure?\u201d John asked. \u201cWith you? Always,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n
We arrived at a beautiful beachfront resort and spent our days lounging on the beach. On the third evening, I prepared to tell John I was pregnant.
\nAs we walked along the beach, a woman appeared, dropping to her knees in front of John. \u201cJohn! Will you marry me?\u201d I froze. John laughed and hugged her. \u201cWhat is going on?\u201d I asked. John explained she was Julia, a college friend playing a prank.
\nRelieved, I asked, \u201cYou\u2019re not leaving me, right?\u201d John hugged me. \u201cNever, Rosa. I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d I handed him a gift box with a tiny locket shaped like a baby shoe. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have a baby,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n
John\u2019s eyes filled with tears. \u201cYou\u2019ve just made me the happiest man on Earth.\u201d As the sun set, I realized this emotional day had brought us closer together. I couldn\u2019t wait for our future as a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
