I was so close to telling her I loved her last night. It was on the tip of my tongue, just waiting to be shared. Although, something held me back, something I couldn’t explain or understand. It just didn’t feel right, which made no sense because everything felt right with her.
“Mmm…” she groaned, her eyes fluttering open. “I don’t know how I’m going to walk today.”
“Words every man loves to hear.”
She giggled in that cute-as-shit sort of way. “You’re shameless. Hallie probably feels like an earthquake happened in there.”
“Sex is good for the baby.”
“Are you ever going to tell me how you know so much about pregnancy?”
I grinned, gazing down at her. “What do I get if I tell you?”
“Oh, so now you’re bribing me?”
“I’d like to think of it as an even trade.”
“Hmm…”
“If you keep making sounds like that, then I’ll fuck you again.”
“That sounds so romantic.”
I chuckled.
“Fine.” She smiled. “If you tell me, then I’ll… I don’t know. What do you want?”
“Now that’s a loaded question if I’ve ever heard one.”
“Well, since you have so many demands on your list. How about you request the one you want the most?”
“Alright.” I arched an eyebrow. “I’ll tell you if you marry me.”
Her lips parted.
“I can see it in your eyes, sugar. You want to be my wife.”
“Ledger…”
“I want our baby girl to be born into our marriage. There’s nothing I want more than for you to become Hazel Beckham.”
“This isn’t fair.”
“You asked me what I wanted the most, and I’m giving you a straight answer.”
“I know, but I wasn’t expecting that answer.”
“You know me better than that. We’ve known each other since we were four and are having a baby girl together. Not to mention, you still love me. I can’t think of a better time to get married.”
“I can’t with this right now.”
She tried to get up, but she was stuck. “Ugh! Just know that if I didn’t have this belly in the way, I’d already be standing.”
I kissed her neck before helping her. I was about to continue our conversation, but the doorbell rang.
She smiled. “Saved by the bell.”
I glanced at the clock on my nightstand that read 10:00 in the morning.
