The night wore on, with laughter and music filling the air. Akira and Lia danced and laughed with their guests, enjoying every moment of their special day.
As the evening drew to a close, Akira swept Lia off her feet, literally, and carried her out of the reception hall, amidst cheers and applause from their guests.
Lia giggled, her arms wrapped around his neck. "Akira, put me down! I'm a big business shot, remember?"
Akira grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Not tonight, baby. Tonight, you're all mine."
He carried her to a waiting limousine, and they drove off into the night, leaving the wedding celebration behind.
As they drove, Akira pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Lia. "I have one more surprise for you, baby," he said, his voice low and husky.
Lia's eyes widened as she opened the box, revealing a stunning diamond necklace. "Akira, it's beautiful!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck.
Akira smiled, his eyes shining with love. "I wanted to give you something to remember our special day by," he said, his lips brushing against her ear.
The limousine pulled up to a private villa on the outskirts of the city, and Akira led Lia inside, the necklace sparkling around her neck.
The villa was decorated with candles and flowers, and a romantic dinner was set up on the balcony, overlooking the city.
Lia gasped, her eyes shining with tears. "Akira, this is perfect," she whispered, as he pulled out her chair and helped her sit down.
Akira sat down beside her, and they shared a romantic dinner, watching the stars twinkle overhead.
As they finished dinner, Akira pulled out a small gift box from his pocket and handed it to Lia. "One more surprise, baby," he said, his voice filled with excitement.
Lia opened the box, and her eyes widened as she saw a stunning diamond ring, with a small baby's footprint engraved on it.
"Akira, what is this?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion.
Akira smiled, his eyes shining with love. "It's a ring, baby. A ring that symbolizes our love, and our new life together. And a reminder of the little one on the way."
Lia's eyes filled with tears as she realized what Akira was saying. "Are you...are you saying what I think you're saying?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Akira nodded, his eyes shining with love. "I'm saying, baby, that we're going to have a baby! And I can't wait to start this new journey with you."
Lia squealed with excitement, throwing her arms around Akira's neck. "I'm so happy, Akira! I love you so much!"
Akira smiled, his eyes shining with love. "I love you too, baby. Forever and always."

Akira smiled, his eyes cr crling at the corners. "It feels like a lifetime ago, baby," he said, his voice low and husky. "But at the same time, it feels like we've been together forever."
Lia nodded, her eyes sparkling with agreement. "I know exactly what you mean," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's like our love has grown and evolved, but stayed the same at the same time."
Akira's eyes locked onto Lia's, and he pulled her closer. "That's because our love is timeless, baby," he said, his lips brushing against her ear. "It's going to last forever, and ever, and ever."
Just then, the sound of a baby's cry drifted out from the nursery, and Lia smiled, her eyes shining with love. "I think our little one is waking up from their nap," she said, her voice filled with excitement.
Akira grinned, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I'll go get them," he said, his voice low and husky. "You stay here and enjoy the view, baby."
Lia nodded, her eyes shining with happiness, as Akira disappeared into the nursery.
A few moments later, he reappeared with their adorable baby girl, Emily, in his arms. Lia's eyes lit up with love as Akira handed her the baby, and she snuggled into her mother's side.
