He’s the person that showed me true love. The one that’s taken care of me every single day since we met. The one that got my mother put in jail for some of her old schemes, which means keeping her far away from me. He’s so incredible that I simply couldn’t resist giving him this as a surprise.
The delivery trucks and construction crew heads out, leaving just the decorators to finish their pieces, and within the next half-hour, a hauler truck pulls in, unloading the new cars in the front driveway. I covered the gate camera earlier so Damien wouldn’t see anything if he pulled them up, and unplugged all of the house cameras that might possibly give away the surprise.
“We hope you enjoy the vehicles…all five of them,” the man says I sign my name to the sheet.
“They’re not all for me. One is mine, one for my husband, one for his mother, and one for each of his adult twins,” I state, shrugging when he gives me another glance. I don’t look much older than I did when Damien and I got married, but we don’t mind and neither do the twins. Stacey is still my best friend, and while I wouldn’t necessarily say Zack and I are friends, we’re good these days. He still doesn’t quite get why I love his dad and why Damien loves me I think. One day he’ll meet his own girl and hopefully figure it out.
It doesn’t take my helpers long to get the bows onto the cars, and I make sure the others are still on their way for dinner tonight seeing the notification of the latest charge for the cars hit the card. It doesn’t identify where the purchase was made, simply the amount, and I laugh when my phone buzzes with a text message from Damien with a screenshot of it along with just a question mark. I know he’s got to be anxious to get out of his meeting now, and I’m not overly shocked when I suddenly get a barrage of other messages, asking why the gate camera isn’t working, then ones listing the house cameras that are offline, before my phone rings, and Damien’s face appears on my screen.
“Hi daddy,” I tease, staying where no one else will be in view of the phone camera.
“Don’t ‘hi daddy’ me, baby girl. Why aren’t the cameras working? You know I don’t like you unplugging them to make me chase you.”
“Sorry, I must have bumped them when I got home. I had a lot of stuff,” I say with a shrug. “You can fix them when you get home.”
“Unless you want a sore bottom you’ll fix them now so daddy can make sure everything’s okay,” he grumbles, and I just shake my head at him, blowing him a kiss before hanging up.
“We’re all done, Mrs. Dewar,” Janice says, holding out her tablet for me to review and sign off on for payment.
“Thank you so much, I know it was a lot, but Damien only goes into the office a few times a year now, and this was too much to resist trying to pull it off.”
“Anytime, Mrs. Dewar,” she assures me, and I know it’s simply because I pay extra, but she doesn’t know it’s to needle Damien.
“Well, if the card doesn’t go through, it’s because my husband says I’ve spent too much today. If it happens, just charge the backup on file instead, he doesn’t track it,” I add and she nods, before heading out with the rest of her people, smiling even brighter when she saw the tip I added onto the bill. Her team will split it but they more than earned it.
It’s not twenty minutes later the charge notification comes through, and I laugh, curious if I’ll get something else from Damien about it. Twenty minutes more and there’s still nothing beyond the gate notification that someone’s here. I’d uncovered it once Janice and her team left, leaving me here alone.
I’m opening the app to see who it is at the same time I get a ‘good girl’ text from Damien, telling me he saw the notification as well. It makes me smile and it simply grows seeing Stacey and Lauren in her car. I adore Damien’s mother. She’s completely accepted me, and I know she’s going to be as excited as Damien about my news.
I stop on the top step as Stacey’s car stops and their eyes are on the five brand new, custom Mercedes SUVs parked in front of the rarely used garage.
“What on earth are those? Options?” Stacey asks me, laughing because they are well aware that I already tried to push Damien to set a limit on my spending.
“Wait for your brother and Dad to get here, then you’ll find out,” I tease, and she moves her car to the normal garage and parks it. I keep them in the front room and only head back out to the front door when Zack gets there, his face showing that he’s just as curious about the cars as the others were.
It’s nearly thirty minutes after that when Damien finally pulls through the gate, and I excitedly wait for him to pull up. He stops his car at the steps, getting out coming straight for me, and I giggle when he pulls me against his chest, giving me a kiss before saying a word.
“Missed you too, daddy,” I tell him, grinning further as his eyes move over towards the cars.
“I take it that’s where you spent a million dollars at,” he questions, pulling a soft gasp from Stacey.
“Well, I just wanted to make sure everyone’s safe now,” I muse, leading him over towards the black car, showing him the tag on it. “This one’s for you, daddy.”
“For grandma,” he reads off the next tag, glancing towards Lauren who grins at me and the silver car. He stops at the blue car lifting a brow at me knowing it’s one of my favorite colors, and lifts the tag, his eyes widening before looking back at me when he sees it’s not baby girl or even Ivy on it, “Formommy?”
I nod and a giggle falls when Damien’s arms surround me, lifting me off the ground, his mouth finding mine, as his hands hold me close.
“Big sister?!” Stacey shouts seeing the tag on the white car and the maroon one for Zack says big brother.
“You’re pregnant?” Lauren asks as Damien sets me back down on my feet.
“I’m pregnant,” I tell them, loving the hugs from Lauren and Stacey, and amazed at the one from Zack.
“You let her spend a million dollars without knowing what it was for?” Stacey asks Damien as his arms wrap around me once more, holding me tight to his side.
“More like two million in total,” I admit, laughing when all three of them stare at me in disbelief.
“But even the cars couldn’t cost that much, unless they’re gold plated or something,” Zack says and I lead the group past the garage, pretending to be going inside the house through the side door.
