“Nothing you don’t already know, except we’re moving to Malibu.”
“This is really great news, Angel,” says Chris, “your dad would be proud of your decision.” I have tears in my eyes, dad has always been my rock.
“And Mom would be thrilled knowing you were happy and pregnant.” Jake adds as he joins us along with Lilly. I smile trying not to cry. I have had wonderful parents and I hope to be as great a parent to my child as mine have been.
The evening is coming to an end and I feel a little tired. The boys start leaving, greeting us. Faith and Lucas come to greet us as well.
“Thanks for the evening, it was fun. We’ll have to do it again.”
“Of course, it will be our routine when you are not on tour.”
“I thought ... if you’re going to sell the house ...” Lucas tells us, “Faith and I would like to buy it.”
“Are you serious?” Matt asks, surprised.
“Yes, we have been thinking of moving in together for some time, but we have never found a right home, Faith has always loved this one and finding one like this is impossible.”
“Well, I think it’s the fastest deal of my life,” Matt answers laughing
“But it will take some time to free it.”
“No problem,” Lucas answers turning to Faith. “Well, baby, we found a home.”
Faith squeaks happily and the two walk away thanking us.
Matt pulls me into his arms. “Thanks for the great night, baby.”
“They all enjoyed it, and I finally have you at home.”
“Gah, don’t tell me. I was counting the hours to have you with me,” he says as I yawn.
“Let’s go to bed love, it’s been a long day and you need to rest,” he whispers, kissing my head. I nod as he leads me into the bedroom.
I lift his shirt and feel his eyes on me. As soon as I take it off I feel it gasp.
“Love…”
“What?”
“When did you do it?” he asks as he approaches, stroking the letters of the tattoo.
“Last week, I still didn’t know I was pregnant.” I had seen a similar tattoo and I liked it. I had not thought how bad it’d hurt having had it done under the breast.”
“I can’t believe you did it for me.” He murmurs incredulously, “Did it hurt?”
“A lot, but it was worth it.”
“It makes you even sexier, and now you are my property!”
I burst out laughing. “I always have been, Matt.”
“True, but I’m jealous that someone else touched you here.” I smile at his words.
“But mine is more beautiful.” He tells me taking off his shirt, revealing my name on his chest, in an elaborate and very beautiful tattoo.
Tears are running down and I have to blame the hormones for making me so emotional. He wipes them away, kissing me. Because he knows that I am and will always be his.
