There were two pivotal moments in my life. The first was when I found out I had a daughter, and the second was when I first laid eyes on Sofia. I chose to propose to her in Vegas because I knew she’d never see it coming, and I wanted it to be a surprise. Plus, it was the perfect place since all of my family, including Grayson and Gabriel, would be there.
After celebrating all day and part of the night, we gathered in front of the Bellagio fountain. Between the lights, music, and water, I knew it was the perfect place to ask her to become my wife.
“This is so beautiful.” Sofia smiled as she lay her head on my shoulder.
“You’re beautiful, babe.” I kissed the top of her head and glanced over at Conner to get his phone out. “You know I love you, right?” I asked her.
“Of course, I know.” She lifted her head, and a beautiful smile crossed her lips. “I love you too.”
I inhaled a deep breath and took hold of her hand.
“I really mean it, babe. I love you to the moon and back and a thousand times over.” I smiled. “I never thought I’d ever be able to open myself up to anyone, but you walked into my life and took that fear away. I never thought I would need someone in my life the way I need you. You love me unconditionally, and you love Ella just as much. Then, you gave me the best gift of all: our son. You are the most important person in my life. You’re my best friend, and I don’t know what I would do if I ever lost you.”
“Nathan.” Tears filled her eyes.
Pulling the ring box from my pocket, I got down on one knee. “Will you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife for as long as we both shall live?” I flipped open the lid.
She placed her hand over her mouth, tears falling down her face.
“YES! I will marry you, Nathan!”
With a smile, I took the ring from the box and placed it on her finger. My family shouted and whistled, as did the strangers who stopped to watch. I stood up, grabbed her, and spun her around.
“I was so not expecting this.” She grinned.
“Good. I wanted you to be surprised.” I kissed her lips. “I love you, future Mrs. Nathan Kind.”
“And I love you, Dr. Nathan Kind.”
Our family took turns hugging and congratulating us.
“Another wedding to attend.” Grayson shook his head. “Congrats, cousin.” He hugged me.
“Thanks, Grayson. I’m happy you and Gabriel were able to meet us here.”
“We wouldn’t miss it for the world. We were worried Conner and Charlotte wouldn’t have a wedding.”
“So were we. But it all worked out.” I smiled. “How about you? Have you met anyone special in Boston?”
“God, no. All of this is awesome and special for all of you. For us, we’re happy with our lives the way they are.”
“We said that same shit.” Simon walked over and hooked his arm around him. “You just wait, my cousin. Your time is coming. L.A. is full of beautiful single women if you decide to move—oh shit.”
“If we decide to move to L.A.?” Gabriel said. “What is he talking about?” He looked at Grayson.
“I have no clue.”
“Good going, douchebag.” Shaun slapped Simon on the back of the head.
“Ouch. Damn, bro.”
“I’m building two houses on the beach next to mine.”
“How? Isn’t there an apartment building on the other side of the wood fence?” Grayson asked.
“Yeah. It’s a long story. Anyway, I bought the property, the fence and the building are coming down, and two houses are being built. I was hoping you two would like to buy them and move here with us.”
“Wow,” Gabriel said. “I don’t know what to say.”
