“I’m sorry. We will work up to it. Now please sit down and enjoy a bath with your woman.”
Not pressing me anymore, he does what I ask, grabs my feet and starts to massage them.
“I love you. I don’t want to push you.” Gage’s face is one of concern.
“I know and I’m sure we’ll work up to it.”
“Change of subject. Now that we live together, and Emma is here fulltime, would you like to think about maybe expanding our family? I’m no spring chicken, Angel, and I’ve been looking around.”
“Around for what?”
“Surrogates.”
“You want a baby…now?”
“Do you?”
Do I? I’m happy with just having Emma. The thought of having another baby for Emma to have a sibling like I never had, well that does sound rather temping. But right now? With everything that has happened? I don’t know the first thing about caring for a baby. Why is he pushing so much on me in the same day? Sex with him and now a baby, it’s all a bit overwhelming.
“Can we discuss it further in a few months? After Lincoln gets settled into his house again and Lucy gets out of the dog training program.”
“Sure… No rush. I love you and plan on spending the rest of my life with you. If I have to wait another six months to revisit us having a child together, then I will wait. If I have to wait four years, I will. I just wanted to talk to you about it now, been something on my mind.”
Leaning forward, I wave him to come closer, and I cup his cheeks. Looking deep in his soulful eyes, I whisper. “I love you with all my heart and we will have a child together one day. You are my everything.” I softly press my lips to his and fall into the world of Gage and Lex. The world of safety, undying love and the purest happiness I never thought possible. I have found my perfect partner, my better half. I have truly met my soul mate and I will be forever grateful for him.
