I start to speak, but James interrupts me.
“But the more I’ve thought about you not being part of my life, I just couldn’t picture it. I need you in my life. Forever and always. And if that includes you and a baby, or babies,” he says, tears in his eyes, “then that’s the way it’s going to be. Because I want you, and our babies, no matter what.”
By this point, James and I are both crying big, fat, ugly tears. As they stream down our faces, I dive into his arms. We cry and then he’s kissing me. I need to say something back, but I can’t. All I can do is show him how much I love him. We share a passionate kiss and when we come up for air, we wipe each other’s tears away.
“I love you James, I always have.”
“I love you Ben.”
His next words surprise me.
“Ben, will you me marry me?”
I’m so shocked, I don’t say anything for a few seconds. But then, I see his face start to crumble. He thinks I don’t want to.
Wrong! I do. Hehe, see what I did there?!
“Yes! I’ll marry you!” I exclaim, smacking my lips to his. Our kiss quickly turns passionate. James and I spend the rest of the night making love to each other.
Epilogue
In the coming weeks, Ben and I make wedding plans. We also look into surrogacy, so we can start a family. To be honest, I’ve never been so scared in my entire life. But, as with anything in life, there is no reward without great risk. Or so the saying goes.
I would do anything for Ben.
My forever and always.
