“You don’t have to say a word Ellery I know how much you love it; I can tell by the look on your face. This was built for you because I love you. I want to give you every dream you’ve ever dreamed, every happy moment you never had, every bit of love you’ve ever lost, and most importantly, a family. This home, our home, is my future with you and we are going to spend the rest of our lives making beautiful memories here.”

I gulped because I didn’t know what to say. I was an emotional wreck at the generosity and loving nature of this man. It felt as if I was living in a dream, that reality was some other realm that I traveled from and refused to go back to. I looked into his seductive eyes and held his face in my hands.

“I could never understand my purpose in this world. I have had nothing but pain and loss my whole life. But now I know why god saved me the first time. It was so I could find you. Then he saved me the second time so I could love you forever. This house is perfect; you are perfect and no one will ever take that away from us. Our love is infinite and I’m going to spend the rest of my life showing you.”

I pressed my lips against his and we fell into a deep passionate kiss. He picked me up in his strong arms and carried me towards the house.

“Let’s get you out of this dress Mrs. Black,” he smiled.

Connor walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my expanding waist, resting his hands on my stomach and laying his chin on my shoulder.

“How are my two girls doing?”

I put my hands on his as he rubbed my tummy tenderly.

“Your daughter has been very active today and she kept me up all night.”

He nuzzled his face into my neck and softly kissed me.

“She’s like her beautiful mother and she’s going to be a fighter. I can’t wait to see her and hold her in my arms,” he whispered.

I smiled as I interlaced our fingers, “I can’t either. She’s the reason god saved me a third time. She’s our little miracle.”

The End…
