With my baby.
Our baby.
“Oh my, holy shit!” I cheered before lifting her off her feet and spinning her around, both of us laughing, more tears coming down her cheeks. “I love you.” I kissed her over and over.
“Could you tell?” Journey teased.
I laughed. “That’s a trick question.”
“You can see the bump though, right?” She lifted her shirt, and her cute round belly popped out.
I rubbed my hands all over it. “Our baby. Your bump is perfect. You’re perfect, baby.”
“I love you.”
“I love you so much. See how much love we have for each other? We created a baby the first night together.”
“You’re right. We did.”
“The first of many.” I grinned.
“Ha! Maybe if you carry one.” Journey teased and we kissed and kissed under the sunshine of Apple Falls, where I finally found my perfect person, just waiting to be found.
EPILOGUE
Journey
Six months later
On a cold,snowy morning, I delivered a healthy baby boy we named Lev, meaning heart. Because I truly believed our baby was conceived that night because of how much love grew between us.
In such a short time, I fell in love with my perfect man. My soulmate. My forever partner.
I pushed him away. I’m surprised he came back.
But he kept trying. And he never gave up.
“He’s perfect.” Cullen whispered before kissing my forehead. He moved a piece of hair from my face and kissed my cheek as we admired our son now cradled in my arms.
“I can’t wait to teach him out to build things. Get him his first toolbox.”
I chuckled and traced my finger along his sweet face. “Let’s get him potty trained first, hmm?”
“He’ll be in college before we know it.” Cullen teased.
“Shh, no, don’t rush it.” I kissed Lev’s head again for the millionth time, in complete awe that this baby was mine. All mine. I did this. I grew him. Cullen and I created him.
“The only thing I want to rush is getting you pregnant again.” Cullen winked. “Fucking you while you’re pregnant is top tier.”
My cheeks flushed. “Well now you have to wait at least six weeks, mister.”
“Six weeks?” Cullen groaned. “That’s too long to not touch you.”
“Who said we can’t do other fun things?” I wiggled my eyebrows, and his eyes darkened as he kissed me hard, deep, passionate.
“That’s my girl.”
“Trust me, as soon as the six weeks are up, I’ll be climbing on top of you even faster.”
