I smiled at her as I looked her in the eye. She had no idea what was about to happen. It filled me with a type of joy I could not explain. “Melody,” I said as I got up. “We have all we need.”
“Okay, spill it,” Melody said. She looked curiously at me, raising her brows.
Beaming back at her, I couldn’t wait to see how she was about to react. The door swung open, and the room suddenly filled with cops. Her expression of delight instantly changed to confusion.
“Why are the cops here?” Melody asked. Her eyes were wide, and her voice filled with fear. As she stood up, the cops came around the desk.
“Melody and Martin, you are under arrest for violating the law.” The sergeant on the scene pronounced as they were cuffed. Melody looked over at me, her eyes like stabbing knives drilling into me.
I stepped back out of fear that she might try to harm me. Even though she was in cuffs, I wasn’t sure that she wouldn’t be able to find a way to get to me. “You!” She screamed at me. “I will kill you.”
Before she could get to me, Kolya stepped in front of me. “You will not touch her.” He stated as he grabbed her shoulders. Pushing her backwards, the cops retook control of her.
I was relieved when he arrived on time. Who knew what she was capable of? Kolya turned to me, and I could not resist jumping into his arms. “Thank you so much. I am so glad that you are in my life.” I said, burying my face into his shoulders.
Kolya hugged me tightly as he replied. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is I who must thank you for giving me a chance.”
Looking into his eyes, I could feel the love between us growing. “I have something I need to tell you,” I whispered into his ear.
“You know you can tell me anything,” Kolya replied.
Biting my lower lip, I stared deep into his eyes. “Kolya,” I said. “I’m pregnant.”
“Are you serious?” Kolya exclaimed. Holding me by my shoulders, he pushed me an arm's length away, studying my expression.
Biting down harder on my bottom lip, I nodded. It was extremely difficult to contain the excitement. “Yes,” I whispered.
Looking at him, I saw a glimmer in his eyes as his smile stretched from ear to ear. Kolya picked me up and turned in a circle as he screamed. “We’re having a baby!” As he placed me down, he looked into my eyes. “How long have you known?” He asked softly.
I opened my mouth to reply when he cut me off. “I don’t care. You have made me the happiest man on earth. I’m glad you told me.” Suddenly, his expression changed, and a worried look filled his face. “We are keeping the baby, aren’t we?” He asked.
“Yes!” I exclaimed. “It is our baby, and we are keeping the baby.”
“You did say, our baby?” He asked. It looked like he was about to cry. Placing a hand on my cheek, he waited for a reply.
Covering his hand with mine, I lay my head tightly into his. “Yes,” I replied. “It is our baby. I love you, Kolya. I have fallen in love with the big bad wolf.”
Kolya laughed as he pulled me closer, kissing me passionately. Pulling back for air, he spoke softly. “My little redriding hood, I will cherish you forever. I love you more than I have ever thought I could love anybody.”
He picked me up and carried me out. The fairy tale dream was not something I ever wanted. Yet, I was ecstatic that I got to live it. This was the happy ending most women only dreamed of. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder.
Chapter 25 - Kolya
It’s been about six months since our love confession. On that day, she also shocked me by revealing her pregnancy. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Life has been hectic since then. But our love was firm. We also ensured there was time for fun. However, we haven’t gotten to spend a lot of time with our family.
Today I had a surprise for Sophia. I’ve been planning for two weeks. I hoped it turned out the way I anticipated. “Come on, little Babmi, where are you?” I called out, waiting impatiently at the bottom of the stairs.
“Yes, yes! I’m coming, hold your horses,” I heard Sophia calling back. Her words were barely cold when my angel appeared at the top of the stairs. She was shining like the sun. I’ve never seen her glow so fabulously.
The tight-fitting, long white dress she wore framed her pregnant body perfectly. She was growing daily, her pregnancy becoming more apparent with every passing minute. Every time I saw her, I couldn’t help but fall in love with her all over again.
She would have been the most beautiful bride if she had had the chance to walk down the aisle willingly. My heart melted at the sight of her. I felt a silent tear rolling down my cheek. Wiping it away briskly, I smiled at her, not wanting her to see how she was affecting me.
Her hair was neatly tied into a beaded bun. She made me think of the first time she came down these stairs all dressed up. Things could have gone better under different circumstances. But I wouldn’t change a thing.
If I had only known from the start that she was the one, I would not have waited or wasted so much time before tellingher how I felt. “You are more beautiful than the sun, moon, and stars. No other creation on earth can compare to your radiance.” I exclaimed as I extended my hand to her.
Watching her smile light up her face, I knew she would never need make-up to enhance her beauty as she was perfect without it. She had a natural glow that complemented her unique beauty.
