"Thank you for inviting Bree and the rest of the family to join us."
"I knew it would make you happy. I promised you I would bring you nothing but joy the rest of our lives, and I intend to keep that promise," he said before bending to kiss her again.
"How do you feel about children?"
"I've already told you I'll have a dozen if you'll let me get away with it," he said before nuzzling her neck.
"Why don't we start with just one for now," she said with a laugh.
"Sounds good to me. Let's get started right now," he said as he scooped her into his arms and started heading toward their secluded cabin which Katherine and Esther had stocked up for them.
"I expect you to make love to me all night long, but there's no need to create a child. I'm four weeks along," she told him, waiting for it to sink in. When her words registered, Damien's face grinned with pleasure as he looked into her eyes.
"I love you, Sierra Whitfield, and I will the rest of my life. Thank you for giving me a second chance, and not giving up on me. Thank you for carrying my child. Let's go start our lives together," he said quietly.
"Damien, my life started the day you walked into my father's office."
Damien carried her inside and showed her many times over how much he loved her. He kept his promise to make her happy and continued expressing his love for many years to come.
