“Then I’ll buy a forklift.”
I squeal and slap his chest. “You’re a beast.”
“I am, and you love it.”
“Yes, I do,” I say. “So, you’re happy about this?”
“I am. I never knew I wanted to be a dad until you told me I’m going to be one,” he tells me. “And it just feels… right. It feels amazing. There is nothing I want more than to have a family with you. But are you okay with this?”
“I’m more than okay with it. I was just afraid you might not—”
He cuts me off with a warm but passionate kiss, and I melt into him. Burke holds me, and I slide my arms around his waist, and together, we sway to some music that only we can hear.
“You know, this is the second-best day of my life,” he says.
“Second best?” I ask. “What was the best?”
“The day you agreed to marry me,” he replies. “It was then I knew for a fact that dreams actually could come true.”
I turn my face up to him and feel the tears well in my eyes. “I love you so much.”
“And I love you,” he replies. “You belong to me.”
“And you belong to me, my lovable TIPCI”
Burke leans down and kisses me with a love and passion that overwhelms me. I never used to believe in fairy tales.
Not until I found myself living in one.
The End
