She stood there and stared at it. “It’s so beautiful. I don’t want to cut it. I just want to stand here and stare at it.”
“Babe, take hold of the knife so we can cut it together. Come on.” I grabbed her hand and placed it on the knife.
Placing my hand on top of hers, I brought it up to the cake, and she pulled it back.
“It’s just too pretty.”
“Cut the damn cake, Charlotte!”
“You really want that key lime coconut, don’t you?”
“You know I do, and that’s why you’re stalling. I know your little games. Besides, our guests are waiting for their piece.”
“Fine.” She smirked as we cut into the cake. “Ha!” She laughed. “I do believe this is white with a cheesecake filling!”
“Fuck. Where’s the key lime coconut?”
“Don’t worry, Dr. Kind. We’ll cut all the layers and bring you your key lime coconut,” one of the waiters said.
“Aw.” Charlotte pouted. “Here. Have a taste.” She smashed the cake against my mouth. “Don’t even think about it, Conner. I’m pregnant.”
“You’re using the pregnancy card already, I see. Okay. You win.” I held my hand behind my back, and Christian discreetly grabbed a slice and gave it to me. “I love you.” I leaned in to kiss her, brought my hand around, and smashed the cake against her mouth.
“Conner! Oh wow. This is really good.”
After we cleaned ourselves up, the DJ announced it was time for our bridal dance. I wanted it to be extra special. While Emilia played the piano, Alex beautifully sang Can’t Help Falling in Love.
I took Charlotte’s hand and led her to the dancefloor.
“Oh, my God. I didn’t know Alex could sing like that?”
“Yeah, you did, babe.” I smiled as I held her close. “When we picked this song together, I wanted it to be extra special for us.”
“You are the most amazing man in the world. Do you know that? Wait. Don’t answer. I already know what you’re going to say.” A smile fell upon her lips.
“Damn right, I am.” I kissed her.
Our wedding was a blast. Between the alcohol, great conversations, and all the dancing everyone did, we all had a great time.
I was talking with my brothers and cousins when Henry and Aunt Barb walked over.
“Boys. I’m happy you’re all together. There’s something I need to tell you.”
“What’s up, Mom?” Stefan asked.
“Henry asked me to marry him, and I’ve accepted his proposal.” She held out her hand.
“WHAT?” Simon spit out his drink.
My brothers and I looked at each other and didn’t say a word.
“Mom, are you serious?” Sam asked.
“Very serious. Do you not see the diamond on my finger, Samuel?”
“You haven’t known each other that long,” Sebastian said.
“It doesn’t matter if we knew each other for a week. When you know you’re meant to be with someone, you know. Isn't that right, darling?" She kissed his cheek.
