Lucy
Two years later…
“Come on, songbird, get a move on,” Apollo calls out to me.
I put on the diamond earrings he gave me earlier today for our first anniversary.
A baby starts crying. “Okay, who woke her up?”
I spot Lani leaning over the crib, picking up our nine-month-old daughter. “I had her asleep for you, Lani. I thought I would make it easy for you to babysit for us tonight.”
With Aurora next to her, Lani holds Abigail up in the air, making her giggle. “I haven’t seen this sweet baby girl in a week. I want to get in all the time I can with my sweet little monkeys.”
Apollo, rushing around, runs his hand through his unruly blonde curls that match both our daughters. “Lucy, please, come on. I don’t want to be late.”
“I’m ready, let’s go.” Kissing the girls, we wave at them as we leave.
Looping my arm through Apollo’s, I lean my head on his shoulder.
He opens the door to a limo. “Get in, my muse. I’m gonna give you a night to remember.”
He’s gone all out tonight, and I’m loving every second of his excitement.
“You're really happy, aren’t you?”
Sliding in to sit next to me, he pours us a couple of glasses of sparkling white grape juice, then hands one to me. “I want to make a toast.”
Holding up my glass, I nod. “What shall we toast to?”
“To us, may we always be this happy.”
We clank our glasses together and drink the juice.
“I believe that we will always be this happy, babe.” I smile at him.
He smiles back and kisses me.
“Besides, as long as we continue on this journey, and you keep doing what you love to do, I think we’ll be just fine.” I set my head on his shoulder again.
“We do have it all, don’t we?” he asks, his eyes on me.
“Well, almost everything.”
His brows arch. “What is it that we don’t have? I mean, we have our home. We have each other. We have our wonderful girls. What else could we possibly want?”
I shrug. “A bigger family?”
“You want us to have another baby?” He smiles. “Can we try for a boy now?”
“Well, I’ll guess we’ll see how well you did on that front in a few weeks.” He frowns. What do you mean?”
“I mean, I’m pregnant, babe. Soon enough we can know if it’s that boy you want so badly.”
His face lights up, and he holds me tight and kisses me hard.
“I love you so much, Lucy. You really are my life. Thank you for all you’ve given me and continue to give me.”
“Well, you can thank me by helping me all over again. We will be having two babies under two soon enough, and I’ll need you to be there for me.”
