He kneels before me, framing my belly with this hands. “How… How long…”
“I just found out. A boy and a girl, the nurse told me at my fourteen week appointment.”
“Fourteen…” he pauses.
Xander looks up at me, his eyes like saucers.
“A boy… and a girl?”
I nod, my joy impossible to contain.
“We’re having twins.”
“Twins!” Xander shoots up and picks me up in his arms. I laugh as he twirls me around, kissing me and murmuring words of affirmation in my ear. He tells me I’m beautiful, he calls me his wife, and eventually, he figures out that spinning a pregnant woman isn’t a great idea.
He puts me down. “Mel,” he breathes. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“And miss this reaction? Absolutely not,” I laugh. His eyes are a little hurt, so I stop. “We haven’t had time, Xander. Between the wedding and everything else…”
He nods. “I see. I know, amore mio. I am so happy right now, I don’t even know what to do or say.”
“You don’t have to say anything, love. Let’s just enjoy the moment.”
Xander laughs and kisses me again. “I enjoy all of our moments, and this one? This one is the best of all.”
He pulls me into his arms in a hug, and I sigh and lean into his arms.
What could make this moment more perfect? I don't believe I'll ever find out.
I pull away, breathless and smiling. Xander takes one of my hands, kissing my fingertips before putting my palm flat against his heart.
I can feel the beating underneath my fingers. Strong, steady.
Xander.
"I love you Melissa Sedric Amory,” he whispers.
"I love you Xander Amory Vittorio. With all my heart and soul and body."
He leans in, pressing a kiss against my forehead. I tilt my face up, waiting for him to kiss me. He does, and then whispers into my ears. "Can't wait to have you fulfil that promise to me later tonight."
I shake my head and slide my arms into his as we begin the walk to the reception hall together. "What promise?"
He shoots me a wicked grin. “Your body.”
I snort. “That’s not new, Xan.”
“It’s great every time.”
I laugh. “You’re such a guy.”
He pauses and takes my hand. His eyes look deeply into mine. “No, Mel. I’m not. I’m going to think you’re sexy every day. I’m going to want to fuck you every day for the rest of our lives. I need you to know that you’re the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen, and I will never get tired of seeing you naked.”
I lean in, a silly smile pasted across my lips. “Babe, that’s so sweet.”
“See how sweet it is when I’m…”
A throat clears in the hallway behind us.
