"I want to marry you. Today"
I walked into the break room and smiled as Jim and Oscar sat at a table, eating their lunch and talking.
"Hey guys." I smiled at them.
"Hey babe." Jim spoke.
"How far along are you, Y/N? You've already started to show." Oscar spoke.
"Well, I'm eighteen weeks, and the doctor said that healthy pregnancies start to show around four months so I'm basically on schedule." I smiled, making Jim smile as I ran my hands over my bump.
"When do you find out if it's a girl or a boy?" Oscar asked.
"We've decided we don't want to know, we want it to be a surprise." I smiled.
"Not to mention if we find out, Y/N will want to buy everything either blue or pink she sees so this limits what we buy." Jim chuckled. I returned it as I put my dollar into the vending machine. I pressed the buttons, making a chocolate bar fall into the slot. I got it before digging into my purse again. I grabbed another dollar and put it into the machine as Jim and Oscar looked at each other. A bag of chips fell to the slot and I dug them out before looking back in my purse.
"Jim, do you have a dollar?" I asked. He looked at Oscar.
"Um, sure." He nodded, digging his wallet out of his pocket and giving me a dollar.
"I don't know what else to get, all I know is that I'm hungry." I huffed.
"Well, you've already got one of each so what does the baby want?" he asked. I sighed.
"Coffee." I nodded.
"Hey, no, no, you agreed to no caffeine during the pregnancy." Jim spoke.
"Urgh, why do you hate me?" I groaned. Jim chuckled and his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Oscar.
"Y/N, I'm having a baby with you, why would I do that if I hated you?" he laughed.
"Don't laugh at me." I mumbled as I sat down next to him.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." He sighed, resting his hand on my leg. I returned the sigh and nodded.
"So, how's the wedding planning coming? I love a good wedding." Oscar smiled.
"Well, we've actually decided to postpone it until the baby is here so it's kinda at a stand-still right now." Jim chuckled. Oscar's eyes widened.
"Why are you postponing? Are you two having problems?" Oscar asked.
"No, no, of course not, it's just that I want to feel good on our wedding day and as much as I love being pregnant, I'm always nauseous and I have sore feet and I've gained, like, three pounds, so we thought it was best to wait." I nodded.
"It also gives me a final few extra months of freedom." Jim chuckled, making Oscar laugh. My smile dipped.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Nothing, babe, it's just a joke." He smiled, gently putting his hand on my knee.
"Uh huh." I mumbled before grabbing my snacks and standing up.
"Y/N, babe, I was joking." Jim yelled after me as I walked out of the break room and out of the annex.
Jim's P.O.V
"So, since we found out that Y/N is pregnant, I seem to be doing a lot of things wrong." He nodded and chuckled nervously at the camera.
"I don't know if that's because she's hormonal due to the baby, or if I'm just a crappy fiancé who doesn't know how to handle his girlfriend being pregnant." He sighed, running his finger over his bottom lip.
"Either way, she's my fiancé, we're expecting a baby, and so I think it's about time I give her this." He smiled before digging into his pocket and getting out a key. He showed it to the camera and looked at it.
"I'm going to ask her to move in with me." He smiled.
Y/N's P.O.V
I sat at my desk, munching on the chips I'd bought. I sighed and put them down as Jim sat back at his desk and looked at me.
"Stop judging me, I was hungry." I huffed, resting my hands against my small bump.
"Why would I judge you? You feed yourself, you feed our baby." He shrugged. I chuckled and smiled as I looked down.
"I have a present for you." He spoke before leaning over and putting a small box on my desk. I looked at him.
"Jim, what happened in the break room wasn't your fault, I overreacted, you don't need to do this." I sighed.
"It's okay. And it was my fault, but I'd be giving you this anyway, so open it." He smiled. I returned it and lifted the lid off the box. My eyes widened slightly as I looked at Jim.
"Oh, Jim." I choked as I took the key out.
"I know we kinda did this whole "new life together" thing a bit wrong since we're engaged and you're pregnant but I want to be tied down in every way possible so Y/N, will you move in with me?" he smiled, making me laugh as I looked down at the key.
"Yes, Jim. I'll move in with you." I spoke.
"Great." He smiled, rolling his chair forward and kissing me before rolling back.
"Hi, yes, I'd like to put my apartment up for sale." I spoke, resting my hand against my bump. Jim looked at me and smiled.
"The name is Y/N Y/L/N." I nodded. I looked at Jim.
"Yes, I'm the person who pulled out of a sale last minute because I broke up with my boyfriend-that was a long time ago-yes, that was me." I chuckled nervously, making Jim's smile dip slightly.
"Yes, this time I'm definitely doing it, I'm engaged, and pregnant so I'm moving in with my fiancé." I smiled to myself, gently rubbing my hand up and down my bump. I sighed as I looked at Jim.
"Yes, my fiancé is the father." I nodded, making Jim's eyes widen.
"Um, I'd say we're pretty committed, we're having a baby together so this is definitely happening." I chuckled nervously.
"Okay, thank you." I sighed before hanging up and resting my head against the desk.
"What the hell was that?" Jim scoffed. I sighed as I looked up at him.
"You know how I pulled out of the sale of my apartment when Seth and I broke up, what, two and a half years ago?" I asked.
"I'm aware." Jim nodded.
"Yeah, turns out my realtor told the rest of the company so I was put on some sort of "risk of pulling out" list, meaning they were hesitant about taking me again." I nodded. Jim's eyes widened.
"Are they taking you?" he gulped.
"Yeah. Only took me telling them that I'm definitely not gonna break up with you since I'm having a baby with you to convince them." I sighed, making Jim chuckle.
"At least they took you." He smiled.
Jim's P.O.V
Jim sat at his desk, doing work. He looked up and a smile spread across his lips at Y/N asleep at her desk, her head rested against her arms and face tilted towards him. He looked into the camera and smiled.
Jim looked into the camera.
"So, I was just sat at my desk, and I look up and see Y/N asleep at her desk. I know she's tired because of the pregnancy, but all I could think was about how much I love her, and how beautiful she always looks." He chuckled and shook his head.
"And then, this is all I could think: I want to marry this woman. Today." He smiled, tears pricking his eyes as he looked into the camera.
Y/N's P.O.V
I sat at my desk, typing out my sales.
"Hey, babe, can I talk to you?" Jim asked as he put a hand on my back.
"Sure." I nodded, smiling at him as I stood up. He gently took my hand and pulled me into the hallway before shutting the office door.
"Is everything okay?" I asked. He looked down as he took my hands.
"I know you want our parents to be at the wedding, and I know you want the baby to be there too, but I can't wait. I'm sorry, but I can't." he shook his head, chuckling nervously. My eyebrows furrowed.
"What are you talking about, Jim?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled.
"I want to marry you. Today." He admitted. My eyes widened.
"I've researched it, and there's a court in Ohio that'll marry you on the spot. I know it's not everything you dreamed of, but we could be married by the end of the day, and I can't think of anything more perfect." He spoke, his thumbs gently moving against the back of my hands. I bit my lip as I tried to hide my smile.
"What do you think?" he gulped.
"When do we leave?" I smiled. He breathed a sigh of relief and returned it before hugging me tightly.
I stood in the women's bathroom, smiling as I saw myself in the mirror. My simple yet beautiful purple dress lay against my skin, perfectly hugging my chest before flowing down over my bump. I took a deep breath before leaving the bathroom. Jim looked at me and his eyes widened.
"I know I don't look my best, but it's all I had in my car." I sighed, cupping my bump. Jim looked at me.
"Are you insane? You look beautiful." He smiled, shaking his head. I returned his smile as he took my hand.
"You ready to get married?" he asked.
"I am." I nodded. He returned it and smiled, gently kissing me before leading me out of the kitchen.
Jim and I got out of the lift and started to head towards the parking lot. My eyebrows furrowed as I heard music.
"You hear that too, right?" I chuckled.
"The music? Yeah, don't get excited, the pregnancy hasn't given you super senses." Jim smiled, making me laugh.
"Oh, I know what it is, Michael rented out that room behind Vans Refrigeration, it'll be that." I spoke.
"Oh yeah." Jim nodded. I looked at him.
"We should at least drop in." I smiled sheepishly. He sighed and nodded.
"We really should." He chuckled. I smiled as I took his hand and pulled him down the hallway.
"Oh my god." I smiled as we walked into the room to see lights flashing and everyone dancing as the music blared.
"You guys came!" Michael laughed as he danced to us.
"We did, we thought we'd drop in." Jim smiled.
"Y/N, you look lovely, are you guys going somewhere?" Michael asked. Jim and I looked at each other as I rested a hand on my bump.
"Um, we are but we can stay for a bit." I nodded, looking at Jim.
"Yeah, we're here for a dance." Jim smiled. Michael returned it before dancing away. Jim looked at me.
"You want to dance?" he asked as a slow song started to play.
"Of course I do." I smiled. He returned it and took my hand, walking me to the floor. He gave me a small smile as he curled his arm around my waist, landing his hand on the small of my back as he took my other hand.
"I love you. So much." He whispered, shaking his head as he looked down at me.
"I love you too. Which is why I want a proper wedding." I admitted. Jim looked at me.
"I'm sorry, it was amazing, your idea, but I want our parents there, I want our baby there." I nodded. Jim smiled at me and shook his head.
"Don't be sorry. I feel the same. I mean, I'd marry you in the middle of a field, I don't care, I just want to marry you." He admitted, making me smile.
"But I do want a proper wedding too. Let's do it." He smiled. I returned it before hugging him tightly.
"So, the wedding is costing a small fortune, turns out flowers, cake, dresses, suits and etcetera is quite expensive." Jim chuckled and nodded.
"But we've decided to do it anyway." I smiled, cupping my bump.
"As you know, we were going to elope, but we decided that we do want our parents, and the baby there. So, we're having a wedding." Jim smiled, looking at me.
"Yes. Yes, we are." I squealed, making Jim laugh as he took my hand.
