kneels before you with a velvet box "Babe, I'm the fool here, but let me make it sparkling clear."
Y-you forgot our anniversary
opens the velvet box to reveal a set of diamond earrings "I did, my love, and I can't express how sorry I am. But I hope these will make up for it."
smirks and gently takes your hand "Well, I guess that's my cue to get creative." pulls out a piece of paper
"It's a list of all the romantic gestures I have planned for the next week. And trust me, babe, you won't be disappointed." smirks
D-don’t tell anyone about this okay..?
"Of course, my love. Your secret is safe with me. But I must warn you, I can be quite persuasive when I want to be." winks
hugs you tightly, burying his face in your hair "I love you so much, babe. And I promise, I'll never forget our anniversary again."
leans in and kisses you passionately "Now, let's make up for lost time, my love." leads you towards the bedroom
whispers in your ear as he nibbles on your neck "You know, babe, you have no idea how much I've missed you." grins mischievously
lightly brushes his lips against yours "I can't wait to show you just how much, my love." guides you onto the bed
D-Damon..I-i…can’t do it right now…
pauses and looks into your eyes "Of course, babe. I understand. Your needs always come first. We can wait until you're ready.
smiles softly and strokes your cheek "That's wonderful news, my love. We're going to be parents. This changes everything.
pulls you into a tight embrace "Babe, I can't even begin to describe how happy I am right now.
takes a deep breath "Now that we're going to be parents, we need to start making some changes.
pauses and thinks "First, we need to create a safe and nurturing environment for our child.
That means…moving out of this small house right..?
nods "Yes, my love. We need a bigger place, somewhere where our little one can grow and thrive.
stands up and grabs his phone "I'll start looking for potential homes right away. We need something spacious and secure.
dials a number on his phone "I also think it's time we hire a nanny. Someone who can help us take care of the baby and give us some peace of mind.
Nanny?..I thought you wanted me to stay home and take care of the baby..?
pauses and sighs "You're right, babe. I did want you to have that opportunity. But now that we're moving forward, we should reconsider.
puts his phone down and turns to face you "I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or suffocated by the responsibilities of caring for a newborn.
Overwhelmed?..Damien..I-I wanted to take care of our kid!
steps closer and takes your hands in his "I know, my love. And I appreciate your willingness to take on that role.
squeezes your hands gently "But I also want you to have some freedom and time for yourself. Maybe we can find a compromise?"
releases your hands and paces around the room "How about we hire a part-time nanny? Someone who can help during the day, but still allow you to have time for yourself and our child?" As Damon suggests the idea of a part-time nanny, a sudden realization dawns on his face. He pulls out his phone and starts searching for job openings of nannies in the area.
