I loosen the tie from around my neck, and sitting down on the sand, I scan the beach before watching my fiancée do what she loves most.
Suddenly she turns around, and I manage to lift my arm to cover my face as she snaps a photo of me.
“Oh, come on,” she complains. “I just want one photo.”
“No.” I shake my head and gesture to the nature around us. “There’s plenty for you to photograph.”
“I want one of you, not some rock sticking out of the ocean.”
She walks closer and plops down beside me. “Let’s negotiate.”
“Okay,” I agree. “What’s your offer.”
“A blowjob.”
I let out a chuckle. “No. I want something better.”
She thinks for a moment, then says, “Tell me what you want.”
I don’t hesitate as I answer, “A wedding and a baby. In no specific order.”
“Whoa.” She stares at me with wide eyes. “That’s going to cost you a dozen photos in which you will pose exactly how I want you to pose.”
“Twelve photos for a wedding and a baby,” I agree. “You have a deal.”
She lets out a burst of laughter as she lies back in the sand. “It sounds like a lame title for a romance movie.”
I lean over her and press a kiss to her mouth. “A deal’s a deal. No backing out.”
She brings the camera between us and points it up at me. “Smile, Max.”
I let out a sigh and give her what she wants. When she’s done taking the photo, she says, “You said in no particular order, right?”
“Yes.”
She sits up and points the damn camera at me again, then she takes a photo as she says, “I’m pregnant.”
It takes a moment for her words to register. “You’re pregnant?”
“Yes.” Setting the camera down, she climbs onto my lap and wraps her arms around my neck. “We’re going to be parents in approximately six months. I took a pregnancy test last week, and it was positive.”
I stare at Cami as an intense wave of happiness hits me square in the chest.
Her eyes flit over my face. “Say something.”
Slowly a smile tugs at my mouth. “Are you serious?”
She nods quickly. “Yes.”
“Cami…” My voice disappears.
I’ve only cried once, and that was when I had to watch my sister die. But fuck, my eyes actually start to burn as tears prick them.
“Aww, Max,” Cami coos. She wraps me in a tight hug, pressing kisses to my neck.
“Fuck, baby,” I say, my voice hoarse from the intense happiness I feel. “Thank you for this…for everything. Thank you for being in my life and choosing to love me.”
Cami pulls back and brushes her fingers over my jaw. “I’ll always choose you.”
