While on the Beach with My Husband, a Woman Ran Up, Knelt, and Said His Name

Rosa awoke with a jolt, her heart racing from a nightmare of her husband John abandoning her. As the morning sun peeked through, John’s voice reassured her, “Happy anniversary, sweetheart.” It was their 10th anniversary, and John had planned a surprise trip to the Dominican Republic.

As they arrived at the stunning beachfront resort, Rosa marveled at the luxury and beauty. John had kept the trip a secret, hoping to rekindle their connection. “No work, no distractions. Just us,” John said, easing Rosa’s guilt over their recent distance.

On their third evening, while enjoying a sunset, Rosa prepared to reveal her pregnancy with a small gift box. But suddenly, a woman in a white swimsuit ran up and proposed to John. Shocked and heartbroken, Rosa watched as John laughed and explained, “This is Julia, a friend from college. It’s a prank!”

Relieved, Rosa presented her own surprise—news of her pregnancy. John was overjoyed, lifting Rosa and spinning her around. They celebrated with Julia, capturing the moment in a sunset photo. With their love renewed and a new chapter beginning, Rosa and John walked hand in hand back to their resort, excited for the future.
