“They are both measuring great. So far so good, Jax.”
When he left the room, I looked over at Amber, who was obviously waiting for me to calm down. I stood up and leaned forward to kiss her. “I deserve this don’t I?”
She smiled and took my hand. “Are you okay, Skippy?”
“Marry me.” It just came out.
Amber giggled. “Now I know you’re freaking out.”
I reached in my pocket and pulled out the ring, holding it in front of her face. “Seriously, Amber. Marry me. I’m going to need all my girls to have my last name.”
Amber covered her mouth and started tearing up. She stuck out her left hand and let me slip the ring on her finger. “It’s beautiful, Jax.”
“You’re beautiful, and I want to make sure you’re mine forever. I can’t promise you romance all the time, and I sure as shit ain’t going to stop giving you grief, but I will love you.”
“I know you will. My answer is yes, as long as we don’t name our children Maverick and Goose.”
“That might be deal-breaker,” Jake said from across the room.
“Shut up. You’re ruining it,” Reese said as she elbowed him.
“You drive a hard bargain, but I accept your offer.”
“Then it’s settled,” Amber announced. “We’re getting married.”
“And we’re having twin girls,” I added.
Jake came up behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. “Now you just have to tell the family. Good luck with all that, Skippy poo.”
I didn’t even care about his smart comment. Right there, in that moment, I looked at Amber and could see our future. That’s when I knew it had all happened for a reason. Everything had led us to this. All I could do was stand there, holding Amber’s hand, knowing that this was where I was always meant to be.
“I love you, baby.” We kissed softly. I leaned down and pressed my lips on her stomach. “And both of you. Daddy’s girls.”
The End.
