“It would be an honor, Mom.” He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. “And may I ask a favor of you as well?”
“Anything.”
“I have a surprise for Morgan. I want to give it to her now. Will you forgive me if I steal her away for a few minutes?”
Elisabeth smiled at him. “As long as you remember to bring her back. We do have a cake to cut.”
He nodded. “Thanks.”
Shaun reached out for Morgan, who was still getting hugs from his family.
“I need my wife for a few minutes.”
Lena laughed. “Are you kicking us out already?”
“No. We’ll be back in ten.” Then he turned to Elisabeth. “Mom, we are going to take Tyler too.”
She smiled and nodded.
“Where are we going, Shaun?” Morgan asked, still glowing from the wedding kiss.
“Not far.”
He went over and said to Tyler, “Mommy and I want to show you something. Can you come with us?”
Tyler reached his hand out to Morgan who took it in hers. Shaun could only hope that one day he might trust him enough to reach out to his. But baby steps were what she said, and they had grown so much already in only a few months.
As they left the backyard, they went down the front walkway and onto the sidewalk. Morgan headed to the limo that was parked out front, but Shaun shook his head.
“We are walking it.”
She looked puzzled. “Okay.”
He led them just a few houses down from where they were. There was a house, which was similar to her parents, yet a bit larger and only a single family. Shaun pushed open the gate, and they walked onto the porch.
“Shaun, what are we doing here?”
He opened the door, which was unlocked, and ushered them inside. He watched her as she looked around the vacant living room before asking again.
“Shaun. What am I looking at?”
“Our new home.”
“What do you mean? What about your place in Boston?”
“It is not a home, never was. And besides, it’s not a place for Tyler to grow up. You taught me the importance of routine, and I have come to enjoy our weekend routine very much. Your father even agreed to let us keep the bikes at his house until Tyler gets used to them coming here.”
Her eyes watered. “You really mean it? You’re willing to give up all that luxury for this?”
“That stuffy, empty, lonely place where I showered and slept for a place I can look forward to coming home to each night? Maybe even get a home-cooked meal and a kiss at the door?”
She laughed. “I think I can arrange both. Dinner’s at six.”
That was something he already knew and planned on making as much as possible. “So you like it?”
“I love it. Thank you. Thank you for loving us the way you do.”
He bent and kissed her gently. “No baby. I should be thanking you. Without you both in my life, I don’t think I would even have a clue what love is.”
She started to kiss him a second time, but he stopped her.
“I promised ten minutes, and I’m holding to it. We have the rest of our lives to make this our home.” Then Shaun turned to Tyler and asked, “Tyler, are you ready for some cake?”
“Cake.” He pulled Morgan’s hand and headed back to Elisabeth and Loras’s house.
Everyone was already standing around the cake when they arrived, and Elisabeth was holding a knife. She handed it to Shaun who cut the first piece, then he in turn handed it to Morgan. She placed it on the table without cutting into the cake.
“What’s wrong?”
She leaned over and pointed at what was written on the cake. You & Me Make Three. He watched her cross out the three. Her hand was trembling as she took her finger and started writing in the frosting. F-O-U-R.
His stomach dropped. Was she saying what he thought she was? He grabbed her by her shoulders and turned her to face him.
“Are you?”
She nodded. “Yes, we are pregnant.”
Shaun pulled her into his arms and hugged her so tight that he was afraid he may have hurt her. “Good thing I bought the five bedroom house. I was hoping you would want to fill it.”
Morgan smiled. “I would love to.”
As he kissed his new wife all he could think about was one day needing to build an addition to the home. Five bedrooms didn’t seem anywhere close to what they would need. Whether they will be born into the family or adopted, our family will fill this house with love.
