Some of the people who meant the most to me and Giovanna, made a short speech and wished us many congratulations, it was my turn, but before I left my seat Mia called out to me.

- Brian?

- Yes, Mia?

- Thank you.

- For what darling? - I asked, smiling.

- For taking care of her, making her happy and, most importantly, for loving her. - I said, looking at Giovanna who was smiling and playing with Aurora.

- I love her so much Mia and all I want most is to keep making her happy. - I said, smiling at her.

- I know, she loves you too. Just don't hurt her.

- I'll never do that, I promise.

- And I believe in you, Brian. - she said and I smiled at her, got up and went up to the stage.

- Good afternoon, I want to thank each and every one of you for being here on this very important day for me and my wife Giovanna. My love, we have a long road ahead of us and many things to learn together, I want us to always walk side by side, we will always be united. And given all this, I promise to make you the happiest woman in the world. I love you. - I said it and she looked at me with emotion. She came to the stage and climbed up, smiled and gave me a kiss.

- I love you too my love, now come back and sit with Mia, I have a few things to say too. - Speak.

With that smile that I'll never tire of seeing, I agreed with her and went back to my seat. She unfolds a piece of paper in her hands and starts to read.

- My love, here we are after so much planning and dreaming, stressing, crying, finally the day has come when we make the big "YES" official, God is so generous with us, speaking of Him, He asked me to give you a message, He asked you to understand that you will go through some changes in your life, He said that you will need to be my partner, we will need each other, He told me that I won't be able to cope alone so it is important that we remain united, I probably won't ask you for help, but that doesn't mean that you don't need to help. - She speaks and pauses, she's emotional and I'm no different, her beautiful eyes shine with tears - You'll have to share all the tasks with me, yes, daddy I decided to tell you before I was born that there are now six of us, that's right, me, you, Mia, Aurora, mommy and God, loving kisses from your little baby, I'll be here in the comfort of mommy's tummy enjoying every moment with you. See you later, Dad. - When she finished reading the paper in her hand, my smile looked like it would tear off my face at any moment, I'm going to be a father.

I got up and ran over to her and hugged her as tightly as I could, then kissed her belly and told her.

- I love you, thank you for making me the happiest man in the world.

- We love you too, Dad. - she said with her hands on her belly, and under the congratulatory claps of our friends, we kissed once more and we're going to continue living our "Happily Ever After" with God and our children, because yes, Mia and Aurora are my daughters too.
