“Baby, I know it’s been hard and things haven’t always run smooth for us. But, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to raise a family with you, grow old with you and spend every day laughing and loving you. I don’t have much to offer you, except my love. Well, that and passion and pearls. Yep, passion and pearls. Darl’n, will you marry me?”
He pulled the strand of pearls from his pocked and slid them over her neck then pulled out the ring box, opened it and held it out to Aqua. She looked at the ring, then Blu’s eyes all while fingering the strand of pearls now around her neck.
With a cry of pure happiness she flung her arms around this crazy man that didn’t always make sense and held on tight. Tears of joy streaming down her face she whispered, “Yes.”
Epilogue (Two years later)
Aqua placed her hand on her much enlarged belly “I know Hanna dear, Daddy will be home soon. Then we’ll head to the hospital. I’m so excited to hold you and introduce you to your family. You have grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins just waiting to spoil you rotten. I know, I know, Daddy is panicking a little. It’s not every day that he becomes a father. He’s just so excited. Did you hear those tires squeal? I guess he’s home now. I better go try and calm him down so we can get this done. I can’t wait to hold you in my arms. I love you, daughter of mine.”
“Aqua… where are you? Come on baby, don’t do this to me. Let’s get you to the hospital.” Blu was hollering the minute he came flying through the door.
“I’m here in the bedroom getting dressed. I wanted to take a quick shower before we left.” He rushed in and she was taken into Blu’s arms and he kissed her gently.
“You ok love?”
“Better than ok, now that you’re here. But, I think we’d better head out soon. Hanna seems to be ready to face the world.”
Little Hanna was born two hours later with her calm but exhausted Mom and freaked out Dad. She knew she was loved and couldn’t wait to see what was in store for her. The window to the hospital nursery was packed with faces peering in. She was cooed over and admired by family members and their friends. She felt her Mom’s love surround her and slipped back into sleep, knowing she would be with her again soon.
Aqua was just about to fade into sleep herself as she thought to herself. ‘Wow, this really did get interesting.’
The End.
From the Author:
Thank you for reading Passion and Pearls, I hope you enjoyed it. Any and all reviews are appreciated. This was my second romance and was so much fun to write. The heat level was lower than the first romance book but that was just how the story flowed. I hope to have more titles available in 2013. You can contact me through my website at www.danimariebooks.com.
