She's back (Morgan and Dante) novel first encounter

One

MORGAN'S POV:

Everything was perfectly set.

The dishes were all in their right places. I had even purchased a new seat of plates and cutlery just for this dinner. I had cooked his favourite dish and even included some intercontinental dishes that embraced both his culture and mine. I made sure to pour my heart into this dinner.

I bought scented candles of different scents and placed them at different angles. My husband's favourite scent was sunlight.

I never understood how sunlight could have a scent but to my greatest surprise, it existed in the market.

For three years now, I had been married to Dante Fontaine, the love of my life.

Where Dante was to sit, I lit a sunlight scented candelabra, each by his side. While on both sides of where I sat, I lit hibiscus scented candelabra. And for the one in the middle of the table, I lit a candelabra consisting of three sunlight scented candles and three hibiscus scented candles.

At the door, I lit the exact same combination as I did for the center decoration of the table.

I hung in the fairy lights that I had purchased together with the candles on the roof of the four corners of the dinning room even at the corners of the table. When I was done with my decorations, I switched off the lights.

It took all the nerve I had to prevent me from squealing. Dante was so going to love this!

We had met in highschool, after so many years we dated for a while back in college. The happiest day of my life was the day that we got married and I had just discovered today, that I was pregnant. And tonight, I was going to break the news in the best way ever, a lovely romantic dinner set up in a fairy tale mode. After all, that was how our very first meeting was, out of a fairy tale.

The joy and happiness flowing through my veins down to my entire body, made it impossible to calm down or even sit down. Dante was meant to be home by now. Half past nine.

Was he working overtime? Should I put a call through?

I took out my phone contemplating calling him then I decided against it. I sat down on my seat, envisioning the look on his face when he walks into the room. And then the look he would have when I drop the bombshell.

"Honey, you are going to be a father." I spoke out loud listening to the sound of my voice. He would be thrilled.

***** Flashback *****

"You're pregnant, Mrs Fontaine," The doctor said, a wide smile on her face. "Accept my congratulations."

My eyes widened, my jaw dropping.

"What?" I asked doctor Shirley smiling from ear to ear. "I'm pregnant." I said matter of factly. "I'm pregnant." I repeated my smile widening.

Doctor Shirley was still smiling. "Your happiness knows no bounds Mrs Fontaine. I'm really happy for you." Doctor Shirley said to me.

"Thank you doctor." I said to her rising to leave. She rose with me. "Thank you so much." She gave me a wide smile of genuine congrats and saw me to the front door of the hospital.

Outside, the birds seemed to be singing me a song of congratulations. The sun and it's fragrance shone upon my face giving me a congratulatory message. A feast this was to be. Tonight!
