Amy sat down in the sofa next to Shane, and he smiled at her as she did.
"A whole month?" she sighed.
He nodded in return "Yeah afraid so babe, but you know that I will phone you every day don't you?"
Shane Looked into her blue eyes. Amy nodded and Shane kissed her softly. "Good" she sat all snuggled up in his arms, wanting their short but precious time together to last longer. He looked down at the girl in his arms and felt how his heart skipped a beat.

A smile grew on Shanes face as he thought about the surprise he had in store for Amy in a few weeks.
"What are you smiling about?" she asked with a little giggle as she sat up and looked into his hazel eyes.
"Oh nothing!" he said innocently. Amy raised an eyebrow...."Yeah right!" she laughed.
"but Amy I can't tell you..that would ruin the surprise" he said and saw how her eyes shined.
"A surprise??!! for who?!" she asked and shane laughed waving his finger in the air "Nope thats a secret" Shane said with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Fine be that way!" she said crossing her arms across her chest.
"Awww...Honey! I can't tell, its good..i promise you that" Shane said pulling her closer to him.
"Okay I'll trust you then" she said smiling.
Shane smiled back at her and he started to tickle Amy.
"Shane, stop please, you're killing me here!" she laughed panting for air.
He stopped and started to kiss her passionatly. "Awwww much better this" Amy said.
Shane brushed a few strands of hair away from her face.
"I know" he said as he grinned down at her and started to kiss her again.

"Are you sure Amy?" Shane asked.
She nodded in return "Yeah you'll be much better going there alone, you will I" she said looking down...tears started to form in her eyes as she bit her lip to try and hold back the tears.
"Amy, angel, dont cry" Shane said as he lifted her chin and kissed her gently. She smiled but tears still fell from her eyes.
"Sorry, I can't help it. I wish you could stay for longer"
He nodded and wrapped his arms around her "I know babe, I know. I wish I could stay too, but i can't. I'm gonna miss you so much Amy" Shane whispered and felt her body gently shiver as she cried.
"I'm gonna miss you too, I love you" she whispered back.
"And I love you too Amy, more than anything"
she looked up at him and into his dark eyes. She wanted his face to stay fresh in her mind when he left. even though she knew on her life she could never forget.
"I have to go, the plane isn't gonna wait forever" he said as he hid the sadness in his voice with a little laugh. Amy smiled and nodded.
"yeah you better get going"
he turned to walk out of the door, but stopped and came back to kiss her again. "remember a month will pass quickly and i will phone you every day to make sure you are doing well. I love you so much" he said looking into her blue eyes and blinking back the tears in his own.
"I love you too Shane, I'll be missing you and remember I'll be right here when you come back. have a safe journey and ring me when you have arrived so I know you are safe" she said and kissed his cheek.
"Okay honey, take care of yourself. Goodbye" he said and hugged her so tight she could hardly breathe.
"I love you too" she said as he put her down.
Shane put his bag into a waiting taxi and waved at her standing in the door. she waved back as tears ran from her eyes.
He got in the taxi and it drove away...Amy knew she wasn't going to see him for a month, she cried even more.

Three weeks had passed and shane called her every morning and night.
"I'm coming home in just a week and I can't wait to see you again" he told her during one of their many phone conversasions.
"I can't wait either babes" Amy replied happily as she stroked her stomach. She had the best news for him, but she didn't want to tell him over the phone.
"And I'm sorry that I can't make it home for your birthday, but we will celebrate when I get home okay?" Shane said smiling to himself as he tried to imagine her face when he knocked on her door in just two days time.
"Sure will shay!"
Nicky motioned for Shane to to get a move on "listen babe, Ive gotta go now , but I'll talk to you tomorrow. I miss you" he said into the phone and could almost hear her beautiful smile.
"Okay, have fun then! I miss you too" she said.
"Bye Amy, I love you"
"I love you too shay! bye" she said and they hung up.
Amy dumped down into the sofa and smiled happily to herself, the doctors words still repeating in her mind...
"CONGRATULATIONS Amy you're pregnant!"
She couldn't be happier, and she stroked her stomach whispering softly "Can't wait for your Daddy to come home, so i can tell him, he'll be so thrilled!"

"Come on mate! the planes leaving in a minute and you dont wanna be late do you?" Nicky said playfully smacking Shane over the head.
"No, i dont wanna be late, I cant wait to see her again, she'll be so surprised!" he said as they boarded their plane back home.
This was the birthday surprise for her, he wasn't gonna be away for her birthday..he was coming home!"
Shane looked at his watch 'June 21st' In just two days time he'd once again look into her beautiful eyes again and see her sweet smile.

Amy woke up and saw the sun shining outside "Looks like I've been a good girl this year" she told her self as she smiled.
Her lips were smiling but her eyes were sad.
"Oh if only Shane could be here" she thought to herself as she stood by the window looking out. She sighed and went into the bathroom. She came out half an hour later due to morning sickness.
she made her way down stairs to make herself a birthday breakfast. Just as she as taking the kettle off there was a loud knock at the door.
"Who could that be?!" she wondered.
As she went to open the door she let out a little scream as she saw Shane standing in the door way with a big bouquet of red roses and a bottle of champagne.
"surprise Amy, Happy birthday darling!" he said as he hugged her tight.
"Shane, your here? aren't you supposed to be in asia?" she asked as they hugged.
"Yeah, but when i left last time i kinda lied to ya, we weren't supposed to stay for a month, only three weeks! and afterall I couldn't be away for your birthday could i?" he explained as he kissed her passionatly.
"You are so wonderful shane..I love you more than you could ever imagine!" she said letting him in the house.
Shane laughed and kissed her again.
"I love you too and I have a very special present for you" Amy looked at him with big curious eyes.
"What is it?" she asked.
"You'll see, come with me"
He took her hand and led her into the living room, "here" he said pulling out a chair. "sit down"
Amy looked at him but did as he asked. Shane put the roses on the table and knelt down on one knee infront of her.
"ohhh!" she gasped, holding one hand over her mouth.
He smiled up at her and took a little blue box from his pocket.
"Amy darling" he said taking her hand.
"Being away from you so much has made me realise something. I can't spend my life without you in it. I love you so much and I never want to be without you.
will you marry me?" Shane said nervously and smiled at her.
"I...I...YESSS!" she stuttered and smiled back at him. he opened the box to reveal a gorgeous platinum gold ring with a massive sparkling diamond in the middle of it, he slipped it onto her finger and kissed her hand..."Shane, its beautiful" she said standing up with tears in her eyes.
"Cant compare to you in a million years" he said and kissed her softly.
"well since were doing this whole surprise thing i have something to tell you"
Amy said looking at him as he tilted is head....
"what?" he asked curiously
"Shane, I was at the doctors a week or so after you left"
"you were? why? your not ill are you?" he interuppted as he took her hands.
"I'm not ill although my mornings could be a bit better" she said looking into his gorgeous eyes.
A huge smile appeared on his lips and he he lifted her up and swirled her round.
"I'm going to be a Dad?!" he asked when he finally put her down.
"Yes Shane, you are I'm pregnant!" Amy smiled.
"I dont believe this! I couldnt be happier" he said kissing her.
"me neither!" she said smiling.
"god, how i love you Amy!" he said hugging his fiancee. "You've made me so happy, no matter where in the world I may be, i will always come back to you and our child, i could be half way around the world and my love for you would keep growing stronger and stronger.." he said looking into her bright blue eyes.
Amy smiled and nodded "I know Shane, I know"
They kissed and sat down on the sofa together all cuddled up in eachothers arms. Shane carefully put his head on her stomach and smiled.
"Did you hear me little one?" he whispered softly and Amy smiled stroking his hair.
"I might travel alot but even if i'm halfway around the world, i'm always coming back to you and your beautiful Mum, I love you both more than anything in this world!" he looked up at Amy and she smiled down at him.
"You're wonderful Shay!" she whispered.
"Come here gorgeous!" he said and kissed her softly.

THE END!
