His brow furrows, but he nods for me to continue. “What is it?”
I reach for his hand, threading my fingers through his. “I’m pregnant.”
His lips part, and then a slow, disbelieving grin spreads across his face.
“Pregnant,” he repeats, as if testing the word on his tongue. “Are you serious?”
I nod, biting my lip as tears prick my eyes. “I found out a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t sure when to tell you, but tonight felt… right.”
He stares at me for a moment longer before pulling me into a tight embrace. “You’re amazing,” he murmurs against my hair. “Absolutely amazing.”
I laugh, burying my face in his chest. “You’re not upset?”
“Upset?” He pulls back just enough to look at me. “Why would I be upset? This is the best news I’ve heard all year.”
A tear slips down my cheek, and he catches it with his thumb. “You’re happy?” I ask, needing to hear it again.
He cups my face. “I’m more than happy, Seraphina. I’m honored. And I swear to you, I’ll protect you and our kids with everything I have. You’ll never have to doubt that.”
Emotion swells in my chest, and I lean into his touch. “I know you will.”
His lips meet mine, and the kiss is soft and full of promises. The weight of the past week fades into the background as we hold each other close with the future stretching out before us like the endless waves of the ocean.
This is our life now—imperfect, full of challenges, but undeniably ours.
