“I didn’t want to tell you over the phone,” she said.
It wasn’t gravity that pulled me down to one knee. We hadn’t gotten married. Work had claimed most of our time. The other thing was her mother, who’d broken it off with Lee. They still saw each other, but Megan was sure her mom was working through feelings for her dad.
Tears spilled down Megan’s cheeks as I reached for her hand.
“I know your mom doesn’t like me much.” It was another reason I thought Megan had been putting off marry me.
“She likes you.” I eyed her and she let out a breath. “She doesn’t hate you.”
I nodded and pulled the box from my pocket. I’d been carrying it every day, waiting for the opportunity to give it to her. It also served as a reminder of the future I wanted.
She tented her hands over her mouth.
“I know I asked you before, but I wanted to do it right this time.”
She broke every tradition and got to her knees so we were eye to eye. I opened the box and pulled out the ring that would make every eye dance that saw it.
“Will you be mine, my wife, and the mother of my children?”
She reached out and cupped my cheek, not taking the ring and further confusing me.
“As long as you agree to be my forever, my husband, and the father of our children.”
I grinned. “Angel, you’re stealing my thunder. I asked you first, which means I want to be all those things.”
She giggled. “You know my answer. It’s always been yes. You captivated me from the first moment we met. There has been no else for me but you.”
“Captivated, huh?”
“Exactly. Now, what do you think of the name Margret?”
And that’s how I found out we were having a girl.
