His Drama Queen

Nicole Vargas

This was really happening!

Oh my god… soon I will be Mrs. Gray!

My heart was beating fastly in my chest as I tried to breath in and out.

I still cannot believe it that it has already been two years since we first started dating and one year since we were engaged.

After a year of dating everything suddenly fell in place. My boutique became a huge success and now I’m even thinking about expanding it beyond US borders. I have payed Rose back a year ago for all the hard work she put into the boutique, but she kindly declined. Instead she told me to give the money to a charity I supported.

Ethan’s company in New York and in England is making millions and now he is also considering expanding to Asia.

New York became our new home. It was easier for both Ethan and I.

We moved from the huge mansion to live in Flatiron District in Manhattan eight months ago. Our new home is located in Madison Square Park. It was a beautiful penthouse with panoramic views of the city, including the Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center, and the Empire State Building. The home also includes floor-to-ceiling glass walls, two other studio apartments for staff on the tower’s lower floors, and two parking lots.

It was the perfect house for us and our future children.

Talking about children. Ethan has been throwing subtle hints for the past few months about starting a family.

It all started when he pointed out this cute little bunny onesie at a baby store when we were at the mall. And two nights ago when I brought food for him in his office I caught him watching the baby shark song. “It was in the recommended.” He sheepishly said when I gave him a weird look.

” Okay, okay Nicole, you need to breath… Can you do that for me??” Rose asked as she gently squeezed my hand. Ethan’s mom, who insisted that I should call her Anna, rubbed my back and nodded her head at me. “Yes honey, you should breath. We should have hired a yogi for situations like this.”

My mom sat across from me waving with a fan in my face. Even though the air conditioning was on I was still sweating like a pig. “It’s fine Anna. I think a yogi would be a little too extra. Besides, every bride is like this before the ceremony.”

“The dress…” I panted as I slightly shifted in my seat. “It feels so tight!”

My mom scowled. “Of course it would be tight, you have been eating junk the entire week. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!”

“That’s not true!” I said offended even though it was true. The past couple of days I have been eating a healthy amount of burgers, fries, pizzas and donuts. But it can’t be possible that I have gain weight so fast.

“Really? Burger King, Mcdonalds, Dunkin Donuts? What is that, salad?”

Okay maybe mom was right. I was eating junk the entire week and I didn’t exercise. But I had my reasons!

There was a soft knock on the door and my mom looked at me, eyebrows raising. “Is it one of the bridesmaids?” She asked. She stopped waving with the fan and placed it next to her.

I shook my head as I searched for my big white robe. “It’s Ethan.” I whispered as I put on the white robe over my wedding dress. Luckily my wedding dress was simple and easy to hide with a bathrobe.

“He can’t see you right now!” Rose exclaimed. “And what are you doing?”

“I need to show him something.” I told her simply, even though I felt like my heart was about to explode out of my chest.

“It can’t wait until after the wedding?” Anna asked worriedly.

“Actually, it can.” I said smiling. “But I prefer to tell him now.” I opened the door and in front of me stood the most handsome man who I will be lucky to call my husband in a couple of minutes.

Dressed in a black tuxedo and shiny jimmy choo shoes he simply just knock the wind out of me. Ethan never failed to make me breathless. Whether it is the way he dressed or the way he goes down on me every night, he never fails.

“Why did you call me over?” He asked as he entered the room. “The wedding is about to start in a half hour. Where are your bridesmaids?”

“They are in the other room. I told them to get some refreshments.” I answered, the nerves suddenly kicking in.

“So?” he asked quirking up his eyebrows. “You look stunning princess, but why the big robe?”

I chuckled nervously. “I don’t want you to see my wedding dress just yet.”

“Okay love.” He laughed. “Why did you call me over then?”

I took a deep breath and pulled out a small box from the drawer next to my Vanity Table. “I have a little gift for you. I want you to open it right now.”

He looked confused at the small box in his hand. “Okay? It couldn’t wait until after the ceremony or the reception?”

“Yes. But I want you to see it now.” I told him, biting my lower lip.

“This is weird. You’re making me nervous.”

Ethan opened the box and when he saw what was inside his eyes immediately widened. He opened his mouth and closed it again staring at the white stick with two stripes. “We’re having a baby.” He whispered and then he looked up at me, tears brimming in his eyes. “Princess, is this true?”

I nodded my head at him as he scooped me up from the ground and hug me tightly. I couldn’t help but shed tears of happiness.

“Is that why you were eating so unhealthy for the past few days?” he asked, letting me down again. He looked at me with so much adoration in his eyes I couldn’t help but burst out into tears again. “Princess, don’t cry. Your makeup.” Ethan slowly wiped the tears away from my cheeks and probably also the highlight.

“That was not me.” I laughed through my tears. “And don’t worry about my makeup. I can always call Tara over to fix it.”

“Riiighttt….” Ethan laughed and hugged me again. “Words cannot explain my love for you, princess.” He placed his hand on my belly that was still flat as a pancake. It’s only still ten weeks old after all. “Can’t wait for you to come, little one.”

Suddenly sobs filled the room. We turned around to see the three women standing across from us, bawling their eyes out. I forgot about them being in the room.

“We’re going to be grannies.” Anna cried as she hugged my mom and Rose. “I feel so old, but I can’t wait to hold little munchkin in my arms.”

“Congratulations, you two.” Rose said in between sobs. “You will be the most amazing parents ever.”

Before I could respond to that, the door swung open again revealing my dad. He stared at Ethan and I and then at the three women who were still wiping away their tears. “I’m sorry to interrupt but the wedding will start in less than twenty minutes.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh shit!” I pulled away from Ethan and shoved him out of the room. “See you at the altar!” I yelled, closing the door in his face.

I turned around and stared at myself in the mirror. “TARAAA!”
