" Harper, can you tell me one thing?” “I’ll tell you anything Chase.” Except for the fact that I’m carrying your baby. “Have I – have I missed my chance?” “What do you mean?” “I mean with you, us. Did I miss my chance?” His face was scrunched together, he looked terrified that I would say yes. I stepped up and wrapped my arms around his waist, “I’m sorry that you would even have to ask that. I wish you knew how much I love you Chase, it’s just been a hard time for me.” He pulled me closer to him and I tried to push my hips back without him noticing. “I didn’t know you were still giving me time, I figured I’d already lost you.” My voice caught at the end. Oh my word, I hadn’t realized until those words came out that I actually thought that. Was that the real reason why I hadn’t been able to tell him yet? “Aw hell baby. That’s not possible. "
