“Go back to sleep,” she mutters.
“I want to watch you,” I reply.
She lifts her head and gives me a sleepy smile. “I’m not going anywhere. You need to rest,” she says with a smile.
My heart swells. I hear the words and the depth of their meaning. I’ve been waiting so long to take this breath. She’s mine. I can see it in her eyes. The walls are no longer in our way.
“I love you,” I say as I watch her face.
She lifts her hand to cup my jaw. Her eyes search mine for a few moments. I realize I’m holding my breath when she speaks.
“Sid told me she’s pregnant. It made me realize something as I stood there. I’ve been so upset with you over what never was. Now here we are with a chance to have it all and I’ve been blocking us both from having what we want most.
“I was just about to tell Sid that when that car started speeding toward Ally. I… I have too much to lose without you. You’re the only one I want to live through this messy life with. I trust you, Gregor, and, baby?”
“Yes, gorgeous.”
“I’m staying because I want to. I love you with everything I have.”
I tug her down to capture her lips. I kiss her with all the words I can’t form to say. This is my happily ever after. This woman is what I’ve needed in my life.
I break the kiss and look her in the eyes. Taking a deep breath, I go to ask one of the hardest questions of my life. Yet, I need to ask.
“Yes, we can start expanding our family,” she says before I can get the words out.
I feel like my face splits as my smile takes over. I wrap my good arm around her, holding her tight. I say a prayer of thanks because I know I had divine help to get my woman back.
“I love you with everything I am. I will never hurt you again,” I promise.
“I know, babe. I know.”
