I smile again.
“Actually, it’s a present from both of us because we’re giving Rose the gift of being a big sister. I’m pregnant, Dane. You’re going to be a daddy again.”
The words take a moment to register with my handsome man. But after a moment of stillness, he jumps up and pulls me from my seat to pepper my face with kisses.
“You’re pregnant?” he exclaims, utterly elated.
“Yes, we’re going to have another baby. Are you ready for number two?”
He kisses me again, and then puts his hands on my shoulders so that I’m seated before taking a step away from the table.
“I have a surprise for you tonight too, sweetheart, but I guess you beat me to the punch. Wait here,” he says in an excited voice. He heads into the bedroom and then returns with a bouquet of red roses.
“Flowers, for me? Thank you,” I say while pressing them to my nose and inhaling their sweet scent. But then Dane grins, and says that the roses aren’t the real surprise. Before I realize it, he’s on one knee before me with a diamond ring in his hands.
I begin to tear up because I definitely didn’t see this coming. My sniffles are loud, and tears start to flow down my cheeks.
“Zoe Canning, will you be my wife?” he asks in a choked voice. “I love you so much, and you’re the mother of my children. Would you do me the honor, sweetheart?”
I gulp and smile at him through my tears.
“Yes! Yes, Dane! I’d be so happy to become Mrs. Dane Reston.”
“Good,” he growls, rising to his feet. “Because I don’t know what I’d do if you said no.” He slips the beautiful ring on my finger, and the diamond glints as if it’s always belonged there. Then he raises my hand to his lips and kisses it tenderly.
“You belong to me, Zoe Reston.”
“I do,” I answer in a soft voice, and with that, our future is settled. He may be my friend’s older brother, but now, Dane Reston is also my fiancé, my love, and my everything.
THE END
