He stops, looking around, and I blush because I knowexactlywhat he wants to say.
"Well, you know what I mean," he laughs. "And I'll show ya later. But I swear, most of all, that I will always make you happy, and I will never,everleave."
I squeeze his hand and he squeezes mine back, and I mouthI love youacross the space between us. The baby kicks happily, a reminder of what we've already made together.
"And Sarah?" the pastor says. "Your vows?"
I clear my throat. "Um...sorry, but I'm going to cry."
I hear Reagan sniff loudly behind me, and the sound of a tissue being pulled out of a box. Bless her for bringing some with her--I'm going to need them.
"Jake," I start, keeping my voice level. "You came into my life at a time when I wasn't looking for anything like this. I always saw myself as the type not to get married, not to settle down...but there you were. And you were handsome, sure, but more than that, you're a good man."
He rubs his jaw, tense like he's barely holding it together.
"I love you, Jake," I tell him. "You make me a better person...and you saved me in more ways than one.We have so many more adventures to go on, and I can't wait to go on this journey with my best friend."
I feel tears spill over my lashes as I continue speaking, my heart overflowing with love for this man who has changed my life so much for the better.
"I promise to always support you, to be your partner in everything we do. I promise to be there for you through thick and thin, to love you through the good times and the bad. I promise to cherish you and respect you all the days of my life, and to make you as happy as you make me."
Jake's eyes are shining with tears now, and the pastor smiles at us both.
"Do you have the rings?" he asks, and our best man, Jake's cousin Jesse, pulls them out of his pocket with a grin.
We exchange rings, the cool metal feeling like a symbol of everything we've been through and everything we will go through together.
"By the power vested in me by the state of Oregon," the pastor says, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Jake pulls me into his arms, his lips pressing against mine with a fierce passion. I respond eagerly, my hands tangling in his hair as we share our first kiss as husband and wife. The sound of applause and cheers fills the air around us, our loved ones rejoicing in our union. We break away from each other, grinning from ear to ear, our eyes sparkling with joy and love.
As we turn to face our guests, I can see the sun beginning to set in the sky, casting a warm orange glow over everything around us. It's like the whole world is celebrating with us, rejoicing in the love that we share. I take Jake's hand as we walk back down the aisle, each step bringing us closer to our new life together.
We dance the night away, surrounded by friends and family, basking in the glow of our love. As the night wears on, we slip away into our honeymoon suite, ready to start the next chapter of our lives together.
As we fall into each other's arms, I feel the weight of the day lifting off my shoulders. I know that this is where I belong, with the man I love more than anything in the world.
Jake trails his fingers down my back, his touch sending shivers down my spine. I tilt my head up, meeting his gaze, and I can see the love and desire burning in his eyes.
"I can't believe we're married," he murmurs, his voice low and husky.
I smile up at him, my heart pounding in my chest. "I know. It feels like a dream."
"But it's not a dream," he says, his hand finding my belly. It's just a little swollen with our baby now, and it kicks softly when Jake touches me. "This is reality...for the rest of our lives."
"I love you, Jake," I whisper, smiling up at him.
"I love you too, Sarah Hart," he says. "Here's to our forever."
Epilogue
Myhusband'shandsfindmy waist as the morning sun breaks through the window.
We've been married for three months--and I'm six months pregnant. The third trimester is just around the corner, and I...
...well, I'm extremely horny.
I was told it might happen--Gray's wife Claire told me she gotreallyhorny when she was in her third trimester--but I didn't expect anything like this. I keep Jake up most nights, restless when I try to sleep, and the only thing that seems to help is orgasms.
