Sebastian took Jayda to an Art Gallery owned by Seb's high school friend, after that they made their way to the movies; Sebby booked a whole theatre for himself and Jayda with VIP treatment and their final stop was at the park not far from Jayda's apartment. They bought Ice Cream, sat on a bench to enjoy it while making conversations and then they took a stroll around the park before they headed back to Jayda's apartment to prepare for her birthday dinner.
Sebastian took a shower and got ready in the guest room while Jayda got ready in her room.
When he was done, he proceeded to Jayda's room. She had already worn her outfit. He saw her sitting on the bed, about to put on her heels.
"Let me help you." Sebastian offered even though she could very much do that herself. He slid in the left and right heels on both feet and then helped her stand up.
Sebastian tried to hold back tears as he took all of Jayda in. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to tame such an amazing human being. The dress she wore fit her like a second skin, it also enhanced her well-defined baby bump which made her look sexier. She had little makeup on and she was glowing wonderfully well.
He wrapped her arms around her waist and spoke, looking into her gorgeous eyes "You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on, Jayda."
She blushed. "Thank you! The same goes for you and I'm proud to call you mine." Sebastian smiled. He placed a kiss on her lips.
"We have to get going. Our guests are waiting for us."
"Will Aaron be there?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes! He also has a gift that he can't wait to give to you."
Jayda smiled, "I love receiving gifts from him. I can't wait to see what he drew this time around"
"So where will the dinner take place?" Jayda asked as she and Seb walked side by side out of her apartment with his hand on her lower back.
"You will see about that." He kissed her lips before opening the front passenger seat for her.
Jayda decided not to ask Seb any more questions about her birthday dinner. She decided to just go with the flow and enjoy her night. She was with him so she was safe. She engaged in conversations with Sebastian until he pulled up in a very strange but beautiful place.
Sebastian turned to Jayda to say something before he got down from the car.
"Getting a venue for tonight was quite difficult because I wanted us to get the perfect place for the perfect night. That includes a beautiful, well secured and press free venue. I invited my family members, your family and a few of your colleagues. I hope you have fun tonight, my love."
"That explains why I only got a text from my Dad this morning, wishing me a happy birthday. Perhaps my mom and brother were calm about it because they knew they would be seeing me tonight."
"Definitely. So are you ready to see everyone?" He asked and she nodded.
He kissed her hand before getting down from the car and assisting her out.
They both walked into the venue with their hands intertwined.
It was an outdoor birthday dinner; beautifully decorated and already filled with guests who were either family or close friends to Sebastian or Jayda.
Jayda stopped in her tracks to look at Seb. "This is beautiful, Thank you." She said sincerely. He really went out of his way to make this birthday a wonderful one for her.
Sebastian chuckled, he was tired of hearing her say thank you all the time. "Anything for you, babes." He connected his hand with hers and they made their way to where their guests were.
"Mom, I was already getting mad at you for not calling to wish me a happy birthday. But I'm happy you're here." Jayda said before pulling her mom into a hug.
Grace chuckled, "There's no way in hell I'm going to forget my princess's birthday. Happy Birthday, my love."
"Thanks, Mom," Jayda replied as she pulled away from the hug. Then she hugged her Dad.
"Happy Birthday, Sweetheart." David greeted.
"Thank you, Daddy."
"You're looking very beautiful tonight dear."
Jayda blushed. "Maybe it's because of the dress."
"That is a plus. You're also glowing wonderfully well. Sebastian is taking great care of you and my grandbaby." Grace said.
"I agree," David said before connecting his glass of wine to his lips.
"By the way, I met Aaron not quite long and he's the most adorable kid I've ever met." Grace smiled. "He told me he wants to be a fireman when he grows up." She added.
"He told me he wants to be a Doctor," David said.
"Oh, and he told your brother he wants to be a police officer," David added and they all laughed out loud.
Just in time, Jayda heard small Aaron call her name.
She looked at the direction his voice came from and saw him in Sebastian's arms. Sebastian was walking towards her direction.
Aaron stretched out his arms to her. She took him from Seb and showered his face with kisses which made him giggle.
"I missed you Jayda." He said.
"I missed you too, my love." Jayda kissed his cheek.
"Happy Birthday to you, I brought you a present." He smiled.
"Thank you, dear, and where is the present?"
"The gift corner." He pointed towards the right direction and that was when Jayda noticed a small gift corner which was almost filled with presents.
"It's a picture of me, you and Daddy. You'll love it." Aaron smiled.
"Thank you, sweetheart." She kissed his forehead.
...........................
"Mom, Dad, I officially introduce you to Jayda and Jayda these are my parents, Vanessa and Albert Miller." Sebastian did the introduction.
"Good evening Mr and Mrs Miller." She greeted, shyly.
"No need for formalities my dear. You can call me Vanessa or Mom" Vanessa said, pulling Jayda into a motherly hug. Heaven knew she had been dying to meet her. "It's nice to finally meet you Jayda."
"And you too, Mom." She replied.
"You've been reigning in our family even before you and Sebastian paths crossed. Olivia just couldn't stop talking about you. It's nice to finally meet you, dear." Albert said before pulling Jayda into a hug.
"My Son has been the happiest he has ever been while with you. Thank you for loving him unconditionally." Vanessa said.
Jayda looked at Sebastian with so much adoration in her eyes before turning back to look at his parents.
"He makes me really happy too. I'm so grateful to have him in my life." She confessed.
......
Jayda greeted all her other guests, her brother, Lucas and his wife, Christine. Her nieces, Olivia and Katie were also happy to see their aunt Jayda with her baby bump.
Jayda also greeted Lilian, Roman, Olivia, Amelia, Caleb and his girlfriend, Michaela.
Sebastian also introduced Jayda to some of his business partners and after that, they both settled down to have some food. Seb made sure Jayda cleared her plate. Aaron also ate with them.
......
When Sebastian saw that the time was getting closer, his palm started getting sweaty. He was surprised at how fast his level of confidence could decrease from 101% to 49%.
"Wow, the great Sebastian Miller is nervous" Caleb teased.
"You're not helping man!" He replied as he rubbed his sweaty palms together.
"I promise you she's going to say YES," Roman assured.
Caleb, Roman and Sebastian were together while Jayda was catching up with Lilian, Micheala and Sebastian's sisters. Probably telling them all of what Seb surprised her with today.
"I hope so! The last thing I want is to scare her away." He replied nervously, then heaved a sigh, "Wish me luck guys."
"Good luck."
"You have my blessings." Roman and Caleb said respectively before Sebastian left for Jayda.
"Sorry to disturb you ladies, I need my woman for a while."
"Sure, we'll be right here waiting for her," Lilian said excitedly, getting ready to take her phone from her purse to record everything.
So Jayda connected her hands with Seb's own and they made their way to the middle of the gathering.
Sensitive Jayda noticed all attention was on her and Sebastian. Her heartbeat increased at the probability of what it could be.
Sebastian heaved a sigh, he intertwined his hands with hers and spoke, looking into her eyes."Jayda, in my thirty-three years of existence, I'm proud to say you're one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I was living a reckless life before I met you and there is no doubt you've changed my life for the better."
"You're kind, beautiful, gorgeous, you have a heart of gold, you're amazing, you help people in any way you can and most importantly, you've loved me for who I am despite my imperfections and I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with a woman that isn't you."
Jayda already had tears in her eyes by this time.
"I know you love me and you know how madly in love I am with you. But I want more! I want to make us official, Jayda. I want you to be my other half, My wife, the mother of my children and the future kids' God will bless us with, I want to wake up beside you for the rest of my life and spend every second of my life putting a smile on this beautiful face of yours"
Sebastian reached for the black velvet box in his pocket and opened it, revealing a very beautiful ring, specially made for her. He gently went down on one knee
"Jayda Isabella Wright, Will you marry me?" He popped the question.
Jayda was an emotional wreck. Never had it crossed her mind that she was going to end her day being engaged. She knew Seb was definitely going to propose but she didn't see it coming today.
Jayda nodded as a happy tear rolled down her cheek. "Yes, Sebastian. I'll marry you."
Everybody cheered and those who had tears in their eyes started wiping them off.
Sebastian slipped the ring into Jayda's finger, he rose to his feet, wiped away her tears with his thumb and gave her a long passionate kiss which made their families and friends cheer louder.
"I never expected this tonight, Seb." Jayda smiled as she admired the ring on her finger.
"I've been wanting to pop the question for a while. But there was just too much going on. I'm glad I finally found the perfect moment. Thanks for saying yes. You made me the happiest man in the world." He placed a kiss on her lips.
"Wow, wow, my BFF is engaged," Lilian said in a sing-song voice as she pulled Jayda into a hug. "Congratulations girlfriend." She added.
Jayda chuckled, "Thanks, Lily. Though I have a feeling you knew about it before today." She added.
"Yes and so does everyone else in this garden. But Roman, Caleb and I knew way earlier. You and Sebastian are so perfect for each other and I wish you guys all the happiness this world has to offer. You guys have been through so much and I have no doubts so many good things await you two."
"Thank you, Lilian, You're truly a friend indeed." Jayda hugged her.
......
"Congratulations Jay!!!" Olivia pulled Jayda into a hug, being mindful of her small bump.
"Thanks, Liv." Jayda smiled.
"I'm so happy for you and Seb. You make him so happy, Thank you for loving him."
"He makes me happy too." Jayda smiled.
"I'm so excited to call you not only my boss and my mentor but also my Sister in law. Like, how cool is that?"
Jayda blushed.
.......
"Congratulations, baby Sis."
"Thank you, Lucas." Jayda hugged her brother back.
"He's a good man you know?" He gestured towards Sebastian who was busy accepting the congratulations of other guests.
"I know, I don't know how I got lucky to have him in my life."
"I've always told you that you are the lucky one in the family. I hope you believe that now." Lucas smiled.
"Anyways, he asked Mom and Dad for your hand in marriage, he wanted their blessings before he asked their princess to marry him. He also met with me and told me of his intention to make you his wife."
"He loves you so much Jayda and I have no doubt he's going to fulfil all his promises to you. Always love and cherish him too. No relationship is perfect, Christine and I do fight sometimes and so do mom and Dad who have been married since like forever."
"Good communication and trust is the key to every relationship and there are times when you two will be overwhelmed about everything but love him and always be there for him okay?"
Jayda nodded.
"I wish you all the happiness in the world baby Sis," Lucas said as he hugged Jayda once more.
Everyone at the party congratulated Sebastian and Jayda on their engagement.
Soon enough Sebastian approached Jayda with Aaron in his arms.
"Congralation Jayda and Daddy," Aaron said excitedly.
Jayda chuckled while Seb corrected Aaron with a smile. "It's 'Congratulations' buddy."
Aaron ignored his father's correction and asked Jayda. "Grandma said you and Daddy will get married."
Sebastian groaned, he felt his son was too young to be familiar with the meaning of marriage.
"Yes, my love. Daddy and I are getting married." Jayda said as she leaned closer to kiss Sebastian's cheek and then Aaron's cheek. (He was still in his father's arms).
"So that means you'll be my mommy too?" Aaron grinned.
Jayda and Sebastian looked at each other, surprised.
When Aaron got no reply, he continued talking.
"My mommy says if Daddy gets married to Jayda then Jayda is my mommy too. So I have two mommies." He raised two fingers.
"Mommy says Jayda loves me so I should obey Jayda and love Jayda too."
"I told aunt Olivia and she said I'm a lucky boy for having two mommies that love me very much."
"You love me, right?" Aaron asked Jayda who couldn't stop smiling with tears in her eyes.
Jayda took Aaron from Seb and gave him a motherly hug. "I love you more than you can ever imagine, my prince." She said, placing a long kiss on his forehead.
Sebastian's heart swelled with so much joy and happiness. He eventually joined the hug. He couldn't be more proud of his little family.
