Page 66 of My Ex-Boyfriend's Daddy

“I don’t think you can top this.” She gestures to the sleeping baby. “Can you put her in her bed please?”

I take the baby and place her in the small bed beside Sidney. Gingerly, I sit on the side of the bed and kiss her forehead.

“You’re so beautiful. Now, let’s try again. I have something for you.”

I take out a rectangular-shaped box and hand it to her. She smiles up at me as she opens it. She gasps and holds up the bracelet.

“Archer! It’s beautiful!”

“It’s your push gift. Sidney, you’ve given me such a beautiful treasure. This is the least I can do.” I reach into my pocket once more. This time, I slide off the bed and kneel. I see her shocked expression as I open the small square box and take out the diamond ring. I reach for her left hand.

“Sidney, today has been one of the happiest days of my life. But I could be happier still if you would do me the honor of becoming my wife. So, here it is. Sidney Peterson, will you marry me?”

She laughs and then starts to cry. “Do you even have to ask? Of course, I’ll marry you!”

I waste no time in placing the ring on her finger. We call Grant and Michelle to share all our news and accept their congratulations. I refuse to leave Sidney’s side until I’m sure that she is resting well. I literally watch over them all night.

The next day is a rush of activity as they are discharged. When we get home, I find that Michelle has been very busy in the time that we were gone. The refrigerator is stocked with pre-cooked meals and juices. Laundry is done and the house is as clean as a whistle. I leave her to visit with Sidney and the baby downstairs while I go upstairs and shower. When I return, Michelle has left and Sidney is sitting on the couch with Francesca.

“May I?” I hold out my hands for the baby. She smiles and places the dozing infant in my arms. She cuddles into my side as I hold the baby carefully.

“She’s so beautiful,” I stoke her pink cheeks. “Just like her mother.” I look at Sidney and lean over slightly. She meets me halfway with her soft lips.

“She is. And she’s going to be as tough as her father.”

“If I have anything to say about it, she will.”

We sit a while longer before making our way upstairs. I place Francesca in her bassinet and stand looking down at her. I feel Sidney’s arms creep around my waist and I turn to embrace her. I look down at her as she smiles up at me with love in her eyes. I swallow against the lump in my throat.

“I love you so much. So much. Thank you for giving me another chance.”

“And I love you, Archer Colleymore. More than you’ll ever know.” Her eyes are shining with unshed tears. “Please, don’t ever stop loving me.”

“Never.”

Our lips meet. And as I kiss her deeply, I know this is one promise I’ll keep forever.

The End.
