“I can do that. Goddammit, woman, you’re killing me here. Will you answer my question? Will you marry me?”
“Yes. Yes. Yes!” She smacks my chest. “Yes, I will marry you, Kaden Hansen.”
I grab her face to kiss her properly with tongue and a bit of teeth, until she moans in my mouth.
She just made me the happiest man in the world. She put me through hell to get here, but it’s all worth it. She’s worth it. And I know I’ll never forget today, and everything we promised each other. I’ll never forget anything about her ever again.
She’s unforgettable.
Chapter Twenty
Hailey
Three years later
“You look beautiful,” Kaden tells me for the twentieth time as he drives us to the out of town chapel where his brother Matt and Octavia are getting married. “I swear.”
I’m not convinced. I smooth the soft fabric of my dress over my swollen belly. “I’m fat.”
“You’re not fat, Hay. You’re pregnant. With our baby.” His ey
es shine when he looks at me. “You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.”
The sincerity in his gaze makes me feel better, although I still feel like a beached whale. At thirty-seven weeks along, I feel like I’m overdue with this baby, and I really could do without the swollen ankles and huge boobs.
Kaden loves my huge boobs, but that’s not the point. This guy seems to like everything about me, and my eyes fill up.
Oh yeah, I could do with being less emotional, too.
I rub the top of my belly. “Is it far yet? I need to pee.”
I mean, will the joys never cease?
“Almost there.” He glances at me, worry entering his gaze. “Are you all right?”
“Yeah. Just uncomfortable.”
Today it’s all too much, and I don’t know why.
He parks in the crowded parking lot, gets out and comes around to help me. Despite my discomfort, I smile as I loop my arm around his and let him haul me to my feet.
He makes me happy. And this baby will be so loved when he comes.
Shawn. I rub my hand over my belly and he kicks at it, his tiny foot connecting with my palm.
“I love you,” Kaden says, kissing my mouth quickly, then my forehead. “So much.”
“Right back at you,” I whisper, and fight the urge to cry.
God, these hormones.
Then the baby kicks again, and a tear escapes me.
“What is it?” Kaden wraps an arm around me. “What do you need?”
“Nothing. I have all I could ever wish for. I just think…Shawn is a bit impatient to arrive.”
Kaden turns me around and stares into my eyes, his brows drawn. “Are you having pains?”
