"A Moment of Forever"
Part 14
It was the day before delivery, and Ami was scared. She had been preparing for this moment for months, but the reality of becoming a mother was starting to sink in. As she lay in bed, she couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that had been growing inside her. Minako, sensing her girlfriend's distress, quickly got out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel. "Ami, what's wrong?" Minako asked, concern etched on her face as she climbed into bed beside her. Ami turned to Minako, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm just so scared, Minako. I don't know if I'm ready for this," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. Minako wrapped her arms around Ami, pulling her close. "You're going to be an amazing mother, Ami. I've seen the way you care for others, the way you love with all your heart. You're going to be incredible," she said, her voice filled with conviction. As they held each other, Minako had an idea. "Hey, let's make this a special night, just the two of us. I'll cook your favorite dinner, and we can celebrate the upcoming arrival of our little one," she suggested, a hint of excitement in her voice. Ami's eyes lit up at the prospect of a nice dinner, and she nodded weakly. Minako quickly got out of bed and started preparing a delicious meal in the kitchen. The aroma of cooking food wafted through the air, making Ami's stomach growl with hunger. As they sat down to eat, Minako couldn't help but notice how beautiful Ami looked, even in the midst of her fears and doubts. She took Ami's hand, her heart overflowing with love and adoration. "Ami, from the moment I met you, I knew that you were someone special. You light up my world in ways I never thought possible. You make me feel seen and loved in a way that I've never experienced before," Minako said, her voice trembling with emotion. Ami looked at Minako, her eyes shining with tears. "I feel the same way about you, Minako. You're my rock, my safe haven. I don't know what I would do without you," she replied, her voice filled with conviction. Minako took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest. She had been planning to propose to Ami for months, and now seemed like the perfect moment. She got down on one knee, a small box open in her hand, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. "Ami, will you marry me?" Minako asked, her voice filled with emotion. Tears of joy streaming down her face, Ami nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes, a million times yes!" she exclaimed, as Minako slid the ring onto her finger. As they hugged and kissed, the tension and fear of the day melted away, replaced by a sense of love, commitment, and excitement for the future. They knew that they would face challenges as they embarked on this new journey together, but they were ready to face them head-on, as a team, and as a family.
