“Morgan, each day is a gift with you. You surprise me all the time with your love. You rub off on me and make me happier. Please, don’t be sad.” He kissed her lightly on the lips.
A smirk set on her face as she gazed up into his eyes, preserving this moment, wanting to hold onto it forever.
“I have a surprise for you, right now, as a matter of fact.” She grinned, her smile glowing over her tear-stained face.
“Oh yeah? What’s the surprise?” Declan smiled down at her, sweating in the heat of the attic.
Suddenly his jaw dropped slightly; she could see him go still.
“No… are you serious?” He sat up straight, eyes wide.
“Declan.”
She drew her words out for as long as she could, smiling openly. “You’re going to be a daddy.”
