The Baby Blindside (Baby Surprise Romance)
Page 16
“Oh my God—”
“Do you like it?”
“Are you crazy? I fucking love it,” she cried, then covered her mouth, embarrassed to have sworn in front of so many cameras, but not really caring, either. To the reporters, she said, “Sorry, sorry! I meant, I totally love it.”
Bradley, who had howled with laughter at her PR misstep, held her in his gaze, squeezed Isaac’s dangling foot, and at last asked, “Heidi, will you marry me?”
“Yes, Bradley. Nothing in this lifetime could make me happier.”
He rose from his knee and wrapped her and Isaac in a huge embrace. Overhead, the stadium’s mega-screen captured the proposal, to the delight of millions of fans, who hooted and hollered for the newly engaged couple.
The embrace seemed to go on forever and ever, until at last they pulled away, and waved thanks to the screaming hordes. Hand in hand, they walked to the exit, up a few flights of stairs, and into a waiting helicopter.
Safely in the copter, Bradley took Isaac from Heidi’s arms and lifted the baby high in the air.
“Do you know,” he said, addressing their child, “that your mother agreed to marry me just now? Do you get what a big deal that is, little man? It’s pretty cool.”
Heidi guffawed at his ever-present silliness.
He turned to her and added, “Sorry it took me so long. I was waiting for the theatrics of the Super Bowl. Thought you might like that.”
“I did, you big drama queen. I loved it,” she said and leaned in, kissing him full on the mouth. “And I love you.”
The flight took them the scenic way, flying over the choppy oceans, swooping around skyscrapers, and soaring over sandy beaches, until finally, they landed on the edge of their property, on a huge grassy expanse that waved frenetically under the power of the chopper.
They disembarked, thanking the pilot, and made their way inside. Home at last.
The first order of business was putting Isaac to bed. He’d had a crazy day, and missed nap time, meaning the little one was tired out. Heidi and Bradley together took him to the nursery, and tucked him into bed. Bradley sang him a Hawaiian lullaby, something his mother had taught him when he was young, and that he hoped Isaac would pass down to his own children.
Heidi flicked the nursery light switch off, and they exited, carefully shutting the door, making sure not to disturb their already sound-asleep baby. Once they were out of earshot, she turned to Bradley with a huge smile.
“Well,” she asked coyly, “what shall we do now?”
“Celebrate,” Bradley replied, and tugging her close, planted a kiss on her mouth. The kiss deepened, until he was holding the small of her back and dipping her low to the ground. “And love each other for the rest of our lives.”
