“Then it's decided,”says Logan. “Tomorrow, we look for a wedding planner and in 3 months maximum, we’re getting married.”
“Oh, God!!! Three months...”I try to breathe. I'm going into hyperventilation.
“Kate, breathe, what is all this anxiety about?” heapproaches me worried“you've already been married once, you weren't so anxious.”
“Maybe because at the time I wasn't really in love.”I feel Logan's hand caressing my back and start to relax. I know he’s smiling.
Nellie and Angel kneel next to me“Let's do this, we'll work with the wedding planner so it won't stress you. Let's start with one step at a time. And, above all, one thing per day so you don't get tired. Does that work for you? “Angeland Max nod.“Okay, let's do it,”I say smiling as the tears begin to fall. Damned hormones.
“Ready to change your surname and be mine forever?”Logan hugs me and I nod muttering“Forever.”
We retire to the office. It is the first time that Logan has set foot in it and he is stunned.“Holy cow, it’s amazingly huge. “
I smile“I knew the work they had to do to modify and make it soundproof, poor Michael was about to cry when they knocked down the wall,”I say pointing to the half peninsula where we placed some plants. Logan laughs heartily, then gets serious and closes the door.
“Kate, we haven't talked about it yet and it freaks me out.”
“The job?”I ask pointing to the sofa while I take a folder and we sit down.
“Yes, baby”
“I don't think you have to worry about this.”I give him the file with my new contract.“I have already spoken to Alec about it, Hewitt will receive a promotion and take my place in the field missions. I will work remotely. No more field missions, only diplomatic journeys. And, of course, I can bring the family with me. The jet will remain here in our hangar, at our disposal.”I see him leaf through the contract and smiles looking at me“you really thought of everything. “
“Not at all, really, since we would have a flash wedding and I don't know where to start.”
“Don't worry about that, love, it will be the last time that you’ll go down the aisle. The last time you will wear a wedding dress. “
“Honestly, it will be the first time that I will wear a wedding dress.”
“Didn't you get married in a church?”
“Absolutely not, I don't know if it was a divine sign or destiny, but they started renovating the church where I wanted to get married a few months earlier, so we waited.”
“Another first time, I would say that I consider myself damned lucky. What would have happened if I didn’t send that text message? “
“You would have seen me at the base and you would have fallen madly in love with me,”I reply stretching my legs on the sofa.
“Oh, surely, how could I have resisted. You were beautiful. “
“I was? Oh, thank you. “Ipretend to be angry.“I remind you that this - indicating the belly - is all your fault.”
He draws me into a hug.“Now you're wonderful and sexy and,”I finish the sentence,“and so pregnant right?!”We burst out laughing. “Yes, love but knowing that those are my babies you carry, believe me, it makes me love you a thousand times more.”
How can I not love him?“Logan,”I murmur
“Yes, baby?”
“Kiss me.”
He smiles.“Isn't that what led us to this situation?”and he kisses me. It does so without hesitation. As if he also wanted to take possession of the last crumb of my soul. As always, my brother chooses the best moments to disturb us by entering the study without knocking.
“Ewww,”he makes a disgusted face.
“Max, what the hell... knock...”but I do not finish my sentence because Logan teases Max.
“Oh, stop it, you do worse with Nellie.”
“You can bet, however, not in the office. You have your entire wing, don't make me have strange images in my head of you copulating.”
