“Looks like Hayden found your girl,” Gaz says.
“Dagger can handle her,” I tell him.
“She’s something special, is she?”
“You have no idea,” I tell him. “She’s incredible.”
She’s perfect.
She’s wonderful.
She’s fantastic.
She makes every moment worth living, every breath worth breathing.
“Congratulations, Ezra,” a huge grin spreads over Gaz’s face and he smiles at me. “You deserve to be happy, my friend. I couldn’t be more pleased. Although I would like my bow back,” he adds with a frown.
“Of course. Thank you for letting me borrow it.”
“Ha! You didn’t give me much choice, my friend. You didn’t give me much choice.”
I head into the kitchen and grab the bow off the table. I’ve cleaned it and Gaz won’t realize this until later, but I’ve added a few special features he’s going to love.
“Did you catch any fereers?” He asks when I hand it back.
“I caught more than that,” I say. We hear the girls storming down the stairs and then they barge into the kitchen, laughing and giggling. “I caught the woman of my dreams, Gaz. What could be better than that?”
Epilogue
Dagger
“Good morning, sexy,” Ezra rolls over and kisses me. The morning sun is streaming in the room and I grin. He’s so perfect. He’s my star, my moon, my sun. He’s everything to me. He’s changed my entire world and right now, I want nothing more than to stay in bed with him all day.
I could stay here forever.
“Hey,” I whisper, smiling at him.
“You look chipper,” he murmurs.
“I have something to tell you,” I whisper, blushing. I think I know how he’s going to react to the news. I think I have a good idea of what he’s going to say, of what he’s going to do.
Of course, I won’t know until I tell him, so when he lifts his eyebrows in confusion, I blurt it out.
“I’m pregnant,” I tell him. “We’re going to have a baby, Ezra. We’re going to have a child.”
“What?” He grins and sits up, grabbing me gently. “Really?” He looks at my belly and presses his hand there. “A baby? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure,” I tell him. “I took three tests. They’re all positive. We’re going to have a baby.”
Ezra is going to make an incredible father. He’s strong and brave and wonderful. He’s sweet and kind and amazing. He’s the most fantastic man I’ve ever met and there’s no one I’d rather have a baby with.
“I can’t believe it,” he whispers, kissing me. “We’re going to have a little one.”
“I love you, Ezra. I love you so much.”
“I love you, too, Dagger.”
We’ve been through a lot together, but the best is yet to come. That’s the beautiful thing about love. Every day is a new adventure. Every day is a new experience. Every day is one more day I get to spend with the love of my life.
