Excerpt:
But
there’s something I have to do before this goes any further.
Slowly,
I draw my head away from her embrace, finding the courage to finally meet her
eyes. Her hair hasn’t been combed and her face is all tear-stained, but she has
never looked more beautiful.
She
stands, bracing herself against me. Her breath hitches when I gently start
unbuttoning her shirt, but her eyes never leave my face. I stop partway up,
raising the bottom half of her cami up and over her baby bump. Dropping down, I
run my hands across her stomach, feeling her shiver against my fingertips.
Looking up at her, I place my lips on her bellybutton, kissing the child that’s
growing within her, the miracle we created.
“I
will never ask you to choose again,” I say solemnly, my voice nothing but a
whisper.
Ivy
starts to cry in earnest, placing her hands atop mine.
“You
are my heart now. Whatever happens to you happens to me.” I kiss each one of
her knuckles as she sighs deeply, like she’s been longing with all her soul to
hear me say these words. “I know I’m not as brave as you are, but I promise to
try harder.”
“Eric,
stop. You’re the bravest man I know,” she proclaims with a tender fierceness,
tears shining in her eyes.
“I’m
just so afraid of losing you,” I mutter, breaking down.
“Oh,
Eric,” she whimpers, sobbing right along with me. “I know, baby... I know.”
I
lean back against the wall, guiding her onto my lap. We don’t say anything
more.
We just sit there and hold each other, savoring the moment.
