A Night to Remember

Maya's eyes sparkled as she raised the glass of champagne to her lips, but Nick's gentle hand on her arm stopped her. "Wait, I forgot to tell you something," he said, his voice low and concerned. Maya's brow furrowed in confusion as Nick's eyes locked onto hers. "You're not going to drink that, are you?" he asked, his tone firm but gentle. Maya's face fell as she remembered that she hadn't told Nick about her pregnancy. She had been waiting for the right moment, but it had slipped her mind in the excitement of the evening. "Nick, I..." she began, but he cut her off. "I had forgotten that you're not drinking," he said, his eyes scanning her face. "Let me get you some sparkling juice or something." Maya smiled weakly, feeling a mix of emotions. She was glad that Nick was looking out for her, but she was also worried about how he would react when he found out about the pregnancy. As Nick went to get her a drink, Maya took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. She knew that she had to tell him eventually, and it might as well be now. When Nick returned with a glass of juice, Maya took it from him and met his eyes. "Nick, there's something I need to tell you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Nick's expression turned serious, and he sat down beside her. "What is it?" he asked, his voice low and concerned. Maya took a deep breath and let it all out. "I'm pregnant," she said, her voice trembling slightly. The world around them seemed to stop as Nick's eyes locked onto hers. For a moment, Maya worried that he would be upset or angry, but then a slow smile spread across his face. "We're having a baby?" he asked, his voice filled with excitement. Maya nodded, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. "We are," she replied, her voice filled with emotion. Nick's face lit up with joy, and he pulled Maya into his arms. "This is amazing," he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear. As they hugged, Maya felt a sense of happiness and relief wash over her. She knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, and she was excited to see what the future held. Nick pulled back and looked at her, his eyes shining with happiness. "Let's celebrate," he said, his voice filled with excitement. Maya smiled, feeling a sense of joy and anticipation. She knew that this was a night she would never forget, and she was grateful to have Nick by her side. As they sat down to enjoy their meal, Maya couldn't help but feel grateful for the surprise that life had in store for them.
