He slowly opened his eyes. It was a bronze. “You made something for me?” His voice was full of wonder. Then he let his gaze settle on the figures. It was him…and her. He stood in a protective stance, his arm around Evangeline, and that braid hanging seductively down her back. Then it dawned on him. There wasn’t just two people in the piece—there was three. He and Evangeline were both looking down, adoringly, at what lay so sweetly in Evangeline’s arms. His whole universe came to a screeching halt. “Love, are you trying to tell me something?” When she didn’t say anything, he looked up and the hopeful uncertainty etched on her features brought him to his feet. The next moment he was on her side of the table, on bended knee, pressing a kiss to her silk covered abdomen.
“We weren’t very good at taking precautions. I hope you don’t mind.” Her words were soft and hopeful.
“A baby? We’re going to have a baby?”
“Yes.” She breathed the answer into the crook of his neck.
“My prayers have been answered,” he whispered reverently.
“I know it’s quick. I mean, we aren’t even married…” Sitting back on his heels, Eric took her hand.
Taking her left hand in his, he kissed the tip of each finger, then turned the palm over and tenderly kissed its sweet center. Reaching into his pocket he removed a small black velvet box. He heard Evangeline’s quick intake of breath. Opening the box, he took out the ring and slipped it on her finger. “Beautiful girl, will you wear my ring? Will you be my wife? Will you make all my dreams come true?”
She threw her arms around his neck and answered him. “Yes, Eric. I will marry you. You stepped out of my dreams. I wouldn’t trade one moment with you for everything else in the world.” He slipped the ring on her finger and Eric was grateful he had reserved the private room, for when he kissed her the air was filled with dancing golden lights, raining down around them, created by the magic of their love.
Epilogue
As Eric sat beside his new bride, he closed his eyes and relived their wedding. The words she had said to him were indelibly written on his heart. “I, Evangeline Lisette Martel, take you, Eric Angelos McAllister, to be my lawfully wedded husband. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you every day of my life.” Eric had looked into her precious eyes and thanked God above for a second chance to treasure this incredible woman. The ceremony had been wonderful, but it was the honeymoon he was looking forward to.
“Baby, I have an idea,” he said to her as they winged their way to the Barbados. Jade had offered his private plane, and Eric had been glad to take him up on it. Now, as they winged their way over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, he had a hankering to join the mile high club. But knew his darling little doll wouldn’t be comfortable with a quickie in the restroom, and he wouldn’t put her on the spot. But the more he thought about their wedding night, the more uncomfortable he became. Thus, the idea.
Evangeline knew him so well; she could hear the lust in his voice and see the heat in his eyes. Laughing, she leaned over near to him and whispered. “I can’t wait to be alone with you either, but I refuse to go down to the cargo area to have sex.”
“No, no, I have a better idea. Do you remember what you did for me in the bathroom, the time you didn’t have to use your hands?”
He had the cutest, expectant look on his sweet face.
“Are you serious?” she asked him, not knowing whether to ravish him senseless or turn him into a white rat and let him run around in her purse until they made it to the islands.
“Well, I can’t help but consider that special talent of yours to be one of the upsides of being married to a witch.” Tongue in cheek, he waited to see what she would say.
Oh, being married to him was going to be so much fun. Since, the world had righted itself after the heartbreak of their time apart; Eric had squeezed every ounce of happiness from each moment they spent together. Since, he had made all her dreams come true, she decided to start on his. “So, you want to have a little fun?”
He nodded, wondering if he was biting off more than he could chew.
“You had better grab your little pillow, and hold it over your lap.” He did as he was told, just before he felt the zipper of his pants start to open. Yes, being married to a witch was going to be magical.
* * * *
Zak had a new family.
He had watched as Evangeline and Eric had become man and wife. She had been absolutely beautiful and he had looked like the happiest man in the world. Arabella and Jade had called him Uncle Zak when they coerced him into holding Savannah Raine while they held each other close during a slow-dance to their favorite song. He had laughed as Tyler couldn’t seem to keep his hand off Elizabeth’s baby bump and Angelique, Philippe and Nanette had been caught napping after three margaritas apiece.
And Aimee, his new mom. Aimee was happy and sad. Zak knew she was eternally grateful to be back with her family. Her daughter’s happiness was her happiness. However, her eyes, gave her away. Even after all these years, she missed her husband. It was hard to be single when so many happy couples surrounded them.
Zak understood that. However, lately something strange was happening. He had seen a girl—a beautiful girl—watching him. In the last three days, he had seen her twice. He had tried to catch up with her, but she managed to evade him. The wild thing was—she had looked so much like Evangeline, she could have been her sister. Zak was not in love with Evangeline—not romantically, anyway. But this girl, he couldn’t get off his mind.
It seemed momentous.
Like something important was just about ready to happen.
You never know.
Once in a blue moon, a miracle will happen.
