“Wait? Are you…?”
My lips split into a megawatt smile. “I’m pregnant.”
He lifted me in the air, twirling me as I laughed. When he finally put me down, he grabbed my face and kissed the air from my lips. I laughed into the kiss, the joy exploding out of every pore in my body.
We had no idea if we could even have kids. After all, I had suffered in my past, the doctors had told me that I might never have a child. But heaven had shined on us and given us a miracle.
We broke apart, our smiles wide and our hearts high in the clouds.
“When?”
“This morning,” I had been a nervous wreck. “I didn’t even think it would come back positive, but I just thought I should take it just in case because I had planned on getting wasted so we could have good drunk sex, but now…I’m pregnant.”
It felt so surreal to say that out loud.
“I know we hadn’t talked much about it, and this is literally our wedding day and—…” he stole the words from my lips with another searing kiss. When he pulled away, all the little worries I had melted away.
“This is more than okay, Sel. This is great news and the best gift you could have given me.” He pulled me toward him, “You complete me in every sense of the word, Selena Sinclair.”
“Slow your roll there, buddy boy; we aren’t married yet. I still have time to run.”
His hold on me tightened. “If you run, I will chase you. There is nowhere on this earth that you will go that I will not follow. There is no breaking or separating us.”
Us. Oh, how I loved the sound of that.
“So forever then?” My body melted into him.
“Forever, baby.” He drew his lips toward my mind and kissed me with everything he had in him.
Our story was not the typical love story. We had many reasons why we should not be together, but for every reason why we should not, there were a thousand reasons why we belonged to each other.
I was the whole person I had always been. I didn’t need the prince to come into my life and save me, and I had saved myself. But Daniel had taken off the steel armor I had fought with to reveal my bruises and scars, and he loved me all the same. He saw my ugly, and he still decided that I was deserving of love.
Love doesn’t always get the happily ever after; it doesn’t always get the opportunity to bloom. But as I stood here in the arms of the man who had brought me back to life one argument and kiss at a time, I could say with all the confidence in the world that I had found my fairytale. And this was only the beginning.
Today was our beginning, and we had forever to go.
The End.
