.Lilly began to whine, causing Becca to take out her earplugs.I walked over quietly to her and stuck the roses under her nose.She smiled.“Roses!”“But can you guess what color?”“Hmm….I’m thinking red.”“Nope.” She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.“What’s your favorite color?”“Oh….pink!” She inhaled their fragrance once again and smiled.“Early birthday present for the birthday girl.”“Wow, beautiful roses!” Stephanie, Becca’s assistant, said as she walked in the door.“Thank you.They’re a present from this guy here.” She giggled.“Want me to get them in some water for you?” Stephanie asked.“Yeah, that’d be great,” Becca replied.I waited for Stephanie to exit before bending down by the side of Becca’s desk, kissing her on the lips and then her belly.“How are you feeling today?” I asked.“Great, actually.Didn’t throw up once, so I’m hoping that the worst of it is over.”“It is, Becca, and it will only get better going forward.” She placed her hands on my face and smiled, clearly knowing that I wasn’t just referring to her pregnancy.“What about you? You haven’t been overdoing it today, have you?”“Nope!”“Mason, don’t lie.You know the doctor said he wants you taking it easy until you go back to see him for your follow up visit.”How could I forget? Taking it easy meant no sex, and Becca wasn’t caving on bending the doctor’s orders.“Cross my heart.Lilly and I had an uneventful day.” She didn’t need to know that this afternoon consisted of meeting up with her Dad and picking up her ring from the jewelers.“Here you go, Becca!” Stephanie said as she brought the vase full of roses back in and placed them on Becca’s desk.“I’m going to leave them here.That way when I’m sitting at my desk, I can smell them and think of you.”“Sounds good to me.”She reached around for her bag on the floor and stood up.I took her arm in mine and we were on our way.We went back to my place and ordered Chinese takeout.Becca had been staying with me since my parents left to go back home.She said that it was because she wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything that the doctor told me not to do, but I knew part of it was because she was freaked out about staying in her apartment after everything that happened.Ashton was being held in prison without bail, which put my mind at ease a little bit.And I was hoping with any luck that he would be staying there for a very long time.I hated the fact that Becca was going to have to be put through the stress of testifying and I hoped that wouldn’t happen until after she had the baby.“I’m so excited that you are coming to my parents’ with me this weekend for my birthday!” Becca beamed.“Having you there and my brother, it’s just gonna be great!”“Hey, I wanted to give you another early birthday present.”“Mason, you’re spoiling me….but I’ll allow it.” She laughed.“Well, this is actually something old.” I grabbed her wrist and clasped the bracelet that I had given her all those years ago for her birthday.She reached down with her other hand and felt around.“My bracelet,” she whispered.“You kept it all this time?”“I did.”She threw her arms around me and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek.“This means more to me than anything.Thank you so much.”“Well, you mean more to me than anything, so thank you, Becca.” She placed her head on my shoulder and let out a deep breath.“What’s wrong?” I asked.“I just never thought that I’d be this happy again.When I lost my sight, I thought my life was over.I never imagined that I would find someone to love me and actually have a baby some day.They were all dreams that I let fade away because I thought they were impossible.But you made those dreams a reality for me.”“I never stopped loving you, Becca, and I’m just so happy that I found you again.”“Me too!” She smiled and gave me a tight squeeze before rubbing her belly which wasn’t showing any signs of pregnancy yet.“But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little scared.”I moved her hair from her face and stared down at her.“Why are you scared?”“Because I want to be the best mother that I can be and I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to without my vision.”“Becca, Baby, you have so much love in your heart, and that’s the most important thing you can give to our baby.”“I know, but what if –”I placed my lips on hers to stop her from talking.“Becca, we’re in this together and I promise you our baby is going to have the best life ever and you are going to be the best mom ever.”She let out a deep breath.“I can’t wait until he gets here.”“Well, what makes you so sure it’s going to be a he? It could be a beautiful little girl, just like her mommy.”“Nope, I have a strange feeling that he’s going to be all you.”I reached over to the table for the bag of fortune cookies.“Maybe one of these fortune cookies has the answer,” I teased.“Oh yeah! Maybe!” She laughed.“Read it to me.” I cracked open the cookie and was silent for a moment.“Well, I’m waiting!”“The person reading this fortune to you loves you very much.”She giggled.“Really, silly, what does it say?”“You really want to know?”“Yes!”I took a deep breath and prepared myself.“Will you marry me?”The smile that was on her face instantly disappeared and I wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing.She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand as she sat there speechless.“Umm….Becca.Can you kind of tell me which way you’re leaning here?” Her smile returned, followed by tears.She nodded.“Yes,” she whispered.I took her left hand in mine and slid the ring down her finger.It was a perfect fit, looking like it was made just for her.She wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her forehead to mine.“I do believe that I am the happiest woman alive right this very second.”I placed my lips on hers and her tongue found its way into my mouth [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
