[b]"Will you marry me, Tallis?"[/b] At those words, her heart rose in her throat as her hands rose to cover her mouth that was hanging open. How long had she been waiting for this very moment? Longer than she would like to admit. She was in shock as well as awe, the ring was more perfect than she could have ever imagined. "Of course, I'll marry you, Jeremy. I've wanted to marry you since I was, like, 15." That much was true. She helped him slip the ring onto her slender finger before throwing her arms around him to press her lips to his. It was as if all of their troubles melted away in this very moment. Cameron hand ruined their lives. They were together, and they always would be. That was what mattered in this moment.

 Tallis couldn't tear her eyes away from the diamond ring on her ring finger. "You did good, Jeremy, I promise I'll make this night worth your while." She looked up and winked at him, kissing him once more before running her fingertips down his chest.

[i]God, I love him so much. Next, we'll have babies.[/i]

Solomon was away more than he was home, but Kaci had learned to come to terms with it. He was trying to make a better life for them, because it wouldn't be long until their lives would change forever. Kaci had spent most of the day cleaning, cooking, and setting up the nursery so by the end of the day she was exhausted. Her ankles were swollen and she was getting bigger by the day. Soon, they would find out if they would be having a boy or a girl. Despite saying that she didn't care what they had, she secretly wanted a little girl. Maley Rain, a name she had always wanted to give her daughter.

She tried to sit up as Solo entered the room, but he told her just to relax. It was hard to relax when so much was going through her mind. "Okay, I'll be here when you get out." Luckily, his shower was short, because she would have fallen asleep if it had been too long. As soon as he fell into bed she was sitting on top of him and rubbing his back. He was incredibly tense. It would take hours to work out all the knots and more than just a massage. "How was work tonight, my love?" She paused to run a hand over her growing baby bump. It was becoming one of her most favorite parts of her body. "You look exhausted."

He did, but he [i]always[/i] no matter how much sleep he got the night before. The club and the shop were beginning to take their toll. Maybe once the baby was born they could take some time. "Jeremy bought Tallis an engagement ring, he showed it to me."
