"No, don't apologize for how you feel. I shouldn't have pressured you into saying yes." He said.
"Can I explain why I am crying?" She asked.
"Sure." He said thinking he knew everything.
"The last time I was engaged, I was sixteen, and pregnant." She started.
"Did you--" He asked unable to finish.
"Let me finish. I broke up with him because his heart wasn't in it, he wasn't in it for the child. He thought the baby would bring in money. He left, but I kept the baby...until I had him. I gave him up for adoption, and I made sure he had a good family. I even kept in touch with the family, not him, the family. I know where he is, his name, and how old he is." She explained looking at him.
"Why are you telling me this?" He asked confused.
"I am telling you because you need to know, if we have a child he has a brother. And if I kept this a secret it would be like lying to you for my whole life. And if I told you later, that could ruin everything. Our love, marriage, the child if we have one, everything would be gone." She said explaining.
"Bella, nothing could ever ruin our love, or our marriage. That is a simple thing, your son, that can be fixed or if you want, it can stay how it is. That is completely your choice, he is your son, not mine. And if you want kids, one kid, two hundred kids, we can have kids. That is up to you too, considering you have to do all the heavy lifting and all. Any way, not the point. My point is, thank you for telling me, and I love you, nothing will stop that." That is when she cupped his face in her hands and kissed him.
"Can we go eat now? I am starving." She asked resting her forehead on his.
"Of Course!" He said standing up and offering her his hand, and she took it.
