“This doesn’t seem like something you can prevent,” he said. “I mean the pregnancy. I’m not on the pill. I should have told
you.” I hugged him .
“I should have thought about that as well. I’m not upset that
you’re pregnant. I’m upset that you’re hurt and we are losing the
baby.” His eyes were filled with sincerity. Then I started to cry. “I love you,” I sobbed on his shoulder.
“I love you too,” he said, kissing my head.
***** The next evening after we got home, I crawled in our bed and cried. I had never factored in having children. I had always felt one day I would have one or two, but to have
that taken away just in a blink of an eye was scary. I felt Nick’s arm wrap around me, and he nuzzled my neck, kissing me sweetly.
“Claudia asked if you were okay. I didn’t tell her what happened. I figured I’d leave that up to you,” he whispered in my ear. Slowly I turned to face him.
“ I feel so blessed. I couldn’t have asked for a better man to love,” I said.
“October 25th,” he said, dragging his thumb across my cheek.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“The day I first laid eyes on you,” he smiled.
“Okay, what about it?” I asked.
“We can get married on that day,” he said, smiling.
“Next year?” I asked, unable to contain my excitement.
“Or this year,” he replied with a shrug.
“Well, that’s only four months away.” I bit my lip.
“Think you can handle that?” He pressed his forehead to mine.
“With Claudia’s planning skills, I’m sure we can.” I laughed.
“Good.” He kissed me. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“Me too,” I said kissing him.
***** The next morning I woke, showered, then got dressed then called Claudia to ask her for assistance in planning my wedding.
I also intended on calling Cassie. She would, of course, be my maid of honour. When I got to the kitchen, Claudia and Mason were already there. “Hey,” I said nervously.
Mason glanced at me once, and then looked at Claudia. Nick stood with them, smiling. I was curious to know what was behind that grin of his.
“Nick has filled us in on you r plans.” She sauntered towards me. “And I would be honoured to help you plan the perfect wedding. I wouldn’t want anything less for my favourite older brother. No offense, Mason.”
“None taken,” he scoffed.
“I have also taken the liberty of inviting Cassie down for the weekend so you can fill her in, in person. She should be here in a
few hours, ” Nick said, walking around the counter and scooping me up in his arms.
“Sounds like you have everything under control,” I replied.
