"Jesus" I groaned feeling the urge to use the restroom for the third time in my hour of helping Gracie get ready for her dance with Grayson

"Again?!" Gracie asked causing me to take a deep breath and say, "Yes, baby, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing to be sorry about...I'm just worried about you Mom; your body has been all weird lately." Gracelynn replied softly as I began to rush to the bathroom while telling her I was fine

My head was rested in my hands as tears began to fall again and wet those that had once dried against my cheeks. I would never forgive my Mother and Father for what they had put me through my entire pregnancy and the choice they made for me against my will after I had Gracelynn.

Turmoil filled my brain and pain sorrowed the pits of my soul.

The family I once hoped to be my in-laws were trying to keep Grayson from seeing me and his baby because they felt I was "lying" about our daughter being his.

Suddenly, everyone who were once my biggest supporters were leaving or shaming me one by one and the only two I had left were Gray and Gracie and I was scared to death either of them may be ripped away from me at any point and time.

Which would truly be my breaking point.

I have so much hate and resentment for myself sometimes because I felt like I ruined Gray's life because I had forgotten to take my birth control and told him it was fine to continue; but when I think about the way his face lit up that day in the delivery room while we were each other's only support and look into our daughter's eyes I can't help but dismiss that thought.

"Baby!" I heard Grayson's voice frantically yet calmly call as his car door slammed and his footsteps began quickly making their way to me as I wiped my eyes

He quickly made his way to where I sat on the porch of my parents' house and wrapped his arms tightly around me as I finally broke.

"Calm down, baby," He said lowly before kissing my cheek

"She made me do it...She made me..." I began to sob as I rested my hand weakly on the back of his neck while resting my head in the crook of his neck allowing myself to crumble in his arms

"Who made you what baby?" Grayson asked as he slightly pulled away to look me in my sorrowful eyes

"...My Mom made me get the tubal ligation..." I said just above a whisper after taking a deep breath and holding my head down in a bit of shame due to the current situation as silence fell upon us

"I'm getting you two out of here...I can't keep watching things get worse for you and her and not do anything...It's not in me to do so and it'll never be. If our parents think us loving each other and creating something I believe to be more than a timely miracle it's their problem now. I love you and our daughter...it's something that will never change. Love was in my path that day I met you and I don't want to take another path because the streets won't be bathed in gold as my path to you was. I close my eyes and pray every night my love will continue to be enough for you..." Grayson ranted nervously while wiping my eyes and holding my hand

"Will you marry me...please?"

Gracie then made a sound that resembled a bird too closely causing us both to look over at her as she sat in her car seat smiling at us causing me to laugh boisterously as Grayson looked more than nervous.

"That's your daughter!" I giggled still laughing hard at the fact she was now babbling and Grayson looked as if his life flashed before him waiting for my answer

Gray then gently lifted Gracie from her car seat as I continued to laugh and held her in his arm and wrapped the other around my shoulders pulling me closer which some wouldn't believe was even possible.

"So, Birdy, do you think Momma's playing with my feelings or actually amused by you right now?" He asked her sillily as she reached up and placed her little baby hands on his cheeks with a toothless smile causing me to laugh harder before kissing his cheek and her hand

"Shut up, Grayson, You know she gave you Momma's answer" I rebutted causing him to smile

"I knew it! Everything that comes from this baby is gold!" He then cheered happily with a full smile as he began to hug her in his arms before digging in his pants pocket for a diamond ring that he slid on my left ring finger before kissing me gently

"I never said yes..." I teased causing him to give me the look and say, "That's not funny"

"Let me stop before I give you a heart attack, Yes, I'll marry you, Grayson," I said while laughing as he rolled his eyes

𝑵𝑶𝑾

Me and Grayson have been trying for another kid for the last six years but the chances had always been slim to none due to a surgical error from the procedure I was forced into right after having Gracie.

Truthfully, God was the only reason me and Grayson were even able to keep Gracie. I was too far along when everyone found out so my and his parents couldn't do anything about it other than try to stress me into a miscarriage by filling my head up with all these things that Grayson quickly dismantled.

When we initially found out about why I couldn't get pregnant -Me and Grayson were going on our eighth year being married- and I could tell how much it hurt him to know the chances were mere to none for another child but of course, he was trying to be there for me so barely showed it.

But, I always knew how much it truly hurt him.

"Are you okay, baby?" Grayson asked after knocking on the bathroom door as my light-headedness kicked in for what seemed like the thousandth time today

"Yes..." I answered before beginning to wash my hands and he slipped into the bathroom as I finished and began drying my hands

"Are you getting sick, baby?" He asked while placing his hand on my forehead

"You're burning up" He then said causing me to smile and kiss his cheek

"I'm the doctor, remember?" I replied causing him to smile

"And I am the sheriff and I am assigning you to bed rest!" He rebutted causing me to wrap my arms around his neck while looking him in the eyes

"I will get to that when I get Gracie's look completed and you two are on your way," I said before kissing him and walking out back to our daughter to help her finish getting ready
