“Meg, also grab my bag that is in your room.” He says as she walks away, Megan just nods.
Max brings Jennifer into her room, and lays her on her bed. “Shouldn’t you be bringing me to the hospital?”
Max smiles. “No, they wouldn’t understand what to do with your babies. Don't worry I have everything that they have there with me. I stocked up just for you.” She nods as she feels another contraction, and she breaths like they do on TV. “Good keep do that.” He says. “Now about Phoenix, when we kiss someone we can take a little from them. It's like chocolate, there is a little caffeine in chocolate you'll get your little buzz from it. We get a little buzz from a kiss, it fuels us. Jennifer he has a problem with loving people. I love him like a brother, and he loves me the same. But his mother fucked him up, and after his grandmother died he didn’t want to feel that again. So he swore he would never love anyone again. Just give him another chance, I know you love him.”
She nods and tear fall down her cheeks. She just wants Phoenix here, and wants him to hold her hand.
Chapter Fourteen
Phoenix looks at his phone, Max is calling. “Is something wrong with Jennifer?” He can feel his heart, beating faster.
“No, asshole she is having your babies and for some miracle she wants you here.” He knows that voice.
“What! I’m no my way Megan. Tell me how to make it up to her? Please help me.” He says as he rushes to his BMW, it can get there faster.
“All she wants is your love, Phoenix.” Megan says and hangs up.
Phoenix jumps into his car, and thinks about Jennifer. Can he live life without her, after knowing how much happiness she has brought into his life? His chest hurts when he tries to think of his life without her, he has only felt that after he lost his grandmother. Then it hits him, he loves her. He pops open is glove box and sees his grandmother's wedding ring, she gave it to him to give to his true love. And that is Jennifer Cruz.
He rushes in and sees Megan waiting for him.
“You know I should cut off your balls and feed them to you.” She says and puts her hands on her hips.
He nods, “I agree, but I do love her. I am just a dumb ass that didn’t see it until you yelled at me.” He wraps his arms around Megan, and she goes completely still.
“You truly love her? Because if you are lying just to get her back I will do worst than cut off your balls. I will behead you, Max says that is how you kill an incubus.” He moves her an arm length away, and stares down at her. He can't believe Max told her that.
“I would give you my own sword.” He says, she blinks then smiles.
“Good, now get that ass in there and tell her how you feel.” She opens the door and he walks in.
***
Jennifer breathes through another contraction. “Where are the drugs you promised?”
Max laughs, and she kind wants to kill him right now. “I will give them to you when Megan gets into the room.” Just then her bedroom door opens, she sees Megan and Phoenix walk in.
Phoenix looks at her, and smiles. “Jennifer.” He whispers.
“Let me get some drugs in her or she won't like you very much. She has called me almost every name in the book.” Max chuckles, and she glares at him He throws his hands up. He has her arch her back and Phoenix holds her shoulders down.
As soon as he does she feels amazing. She smiles at him, and he winks. “I will be right out there if you need me.” She nods, Megan and Max walk out together.
She looks down at her hands, and Phoenix sits on the bed next to her. “Jennifer when you left, I felt something break inside of me. I didn’t understand what it was until I got a call from Max's phone and I thought you were hurt. Melissa means nothing to me, a kiss for an incubus means—”
“I know Phoenix, Max told me.” He nods, and smiles.
“Well you told me to love you and you would stay. I am a chicken shit. I love you Jennifer, and I don't want to ever see you walk out on me again.” He takes her left hand and she can feel tears falling on to her cheeks. She feels a cold mental being put on her finger. She looks down at what he is doing, and he is putting a beautiful antique ring on her finger. The center diamond is the size of her pinky nail and there are about twenty smaller diamonds around it, and on the side of the band.
She looks up at him, and he is smiling. “Oh Phoenix.” She chokes on her words.
He brings her left hand to his lips and kisses it. “Jennifer Elizabeth Cruz, I want to spend my forever with you. You are my everything. Will you marry me?”
She nods, “Yes, yes and yes!” She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him. She feels whole again. “This ring is beautiful!” She says and hold it up for her to see it.
“I'm glad you like it, it was my grandmother's. She would have loved you, like I do.” His smiles warms her.
Jennifer puts her hand over her heart. “Thank you.”
Phoenix shakes his head. “No, my darling angel. Thank you for loving me, and giving me this second chance.”
Someone clears their throat, and he takes his wonderful lips away from hers. “Sorry, but it's time to start pushing.”
***
Phoenix smiles down at his sleeping fiancé. He is so happy that she took him back. His grandmother's ring looks like it was made for her, and he loves that. He quietly walks out of her bedroom and then down the hall where his son and daughter are sleeping. He told Max to take them in there so Jennifer could get some sleep. She pushed for 8 hours before they made their appearance in the world.
“Oh Phoenix, your babies are so beautiful.” Megan says, as he walks in.
“Good thing they look like their momma.” He says and walks over to his babies.
Their eyes are opened. “My beautiful Eve, and my handsome Evan.” He says as he touches their foreheads.
