Protecting His Forever(49)

“Baby, I had a big freaking proposal planned out. Brae and Jessica were helping me plan it. But now knowing that I put two kids in you I don’t see a more perfect time to ask you this.” He takes my left hand in his before getting down on one knee.

My heart stops. I can’t believe this is happening. Putting my hand to my mouth in shock, I don’t even look at the ring; I look at my man who’s staring at me.

“The love I have for you, Sydney, consumes me. I love you so fucking much. Don’t ever doubt that because what I feel for you is unwavering. I love everything about you. Your laugh, your smile that lights up the whole entire room, your heart. You’re beautiful on the inside and out. The way you scrunch up your nose when you’re annoyed. I will love, care, and protect you until my last breath. Will you marry me, Sydney, and be mine forever?”

Nodding my head, I scream, “Yes!” I pull him off the ground and wrap my arms and legs around him, hugging him to me as tight as I can. Pulling back, I kiss him. His hand comes to my jaw, pouring everything we feel into a kiss. I love this man.

“Mommy? Daddy?” I hear Arabella call out.

Pulling away, I look toward the house. Kane gently sets me down and walks over to her. “I have something for you, baby girl.” He gets down on one knee before her like he did me. My heart melts at the sight.

“Will you do me the honor and let me be your daddy forever and ever?”

She grins and nods her head. He takes a necklace out of his back pocket and clasps it around her. “I love you so much, baby girl.” He kisses her forehead and pulls back.

Her bottom lip trembles and he hugs her tightly to him. Her little shoulders shake as she cries onto his chest.

“Shhh, don’t cry.” She leans up and he kisses her tears away. If it’s even possible, I just fell in love a little more with Kane.

Deciding to tell her now that she’s going to be a sister, I’m beyond nervous what her reaction will be. Getting down on my knees in front of her, I take a deep breath.

“Hey, sweetheart.”

“Hi, Momma.” She places her little hand on my cheek.

“Baby girl, you're going to be getting two brothers or sisters.”

“I am?” Her little eyes widen.

“Yes, I have two babies growing in my tummy.” I put my hand on my belly to show her.

My eyes never leave her.

She looks down at my belly sadly. “I wish I came from your tummy.”

“Oh, sweetheart. It doesn’t matter if you came from my belly or not. You’re my baby. I love you just the same.” I take her little hand in mine.

“Otay, Mommy. I want brothers.” She giggles and wraps her arms around my neck.

“Me too. Help me keep those boys in line,” Kane mumbles from behind me. I give him an annoyed look—only Kane would be thinking about stuff like that. It’s hard to believe all this is happening so fast.

Arabella lets go and runs into the house. Standing, I look around at Kane. He is staring at me. “I can’t believe I’m pregnant, Kane.”

“I’ve cried enough today to last me a lifetime, you sappy fuckers. We’re going to head out,” Jessica says from behind us.

Turning around, I see black makeup running down their faces. I can only imagine what I look like. “All right, guys, I will talk to you later.” I walk over and give each of them a small hug.

Kane and I walk into the house hand and hand. He leads me over to the couch and sits down beside me. He smiles at me. “I am so fucking happy. We have a baby girl, I got a ring on your finger, and two babies in you. Life doesn’t get better than this.” He lifts my shirt up and gets on his knees. He leans forward and presses a kiss on my belly right below my belly button.

“I can’t wait to meet you, babies. Daddy already loves you so much.”

Holy shit. The dam is about to break. This day has been the best day of my whole entire life. It also hasn’t quite sunk in yet. I was so scared that Arabella would be upset, but to my surprise, she wasn’t. She was happy about it. I won’t let her doubt for one minute how much I love her.

Pulling Kane up, I press a kiss on his lips. He grins against my lips. Pulling away, I prop my head on his shoulder.

“We’re pregnant,” I repeat again, still in shock.

“Yes, baby, we’re pregnant.” His chest moves with his laughter.

“Holy shit, you put a baby in me.”

“Yes I did, not just one, but two.” I can hear the cockiness in his voice. I guarantee he has the cocky smirk on his face, too.

“Two babies,” I repeat. I’m pregnant with twins.

“They’re going to be boys, I know it.” He pinches the side of my butt cheek.
