“It’s more than okay. And believe me when I tell you that I’m more than ready for you.”

He raised his eyebrow as he laid me down on the bed, pushing the edge of my panties to the side and feeling how wet I was for him.

“You sure are, my love.” He smiled.

Another week had passed,and it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Max was so excited to take Sarah for a walk to Central Park. He was all smiles as he put her in her new stroller.

“Look at how amazing this stroller is. Doesn’t she look beautiful in it? Push it, Emma. Feel how smooth the ride is.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at him. He was like a kid with a new toy. As we were walking down the street, Max abruptly stopped. At first, I didn’t know why because I had my head turned, looking at some of the window displays. When I turned my head,I saw his mother standing in front of the stroller. He didn’t say a word. He just glared at her.

“Carol,” I spoke.

She looked down at Sarah, and tears filled her eyes.

“Let’s go, Emma,” Max said sternly as he attempted to push the stroller.

“Max.” I placed my hand on his arm. “Carol, this is your granddaughter, Sarah.”

“She’s beautiful. What a beautiful name. She’s okay?”

“Yes. She’s doing great. She’s very healthy.”

“Thank God.” She sighed. “Max, we need to talk.”

“I have nothing to say to you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, we have somewhere we need to be.”

“I want to apologize to you for everything. I’ve left your father. Please say we can all have dinner and talk.”

“It’s too late for that. Now excuse us.”

I looked at Carol and could feel her pain. “I’ll talk to him,” I whispered as I touched her arm.”

We walked away. “Don’t, Emma. Don’t say a word. I’m not having this day with our daughter ruined. We’ll talk about it later.”

“Okay.”

He was hurting. I could tell, and I respected him enough to wait and talk about it later.

We reached Central Park and headed over to the statue of Alice in Wonderland.

“Go sit down on the mushroom with Sarah, and I’ll take your picture.”

I smiled as I took her from her stroller and held her. As I sat on the mushroom, Max took our picture.

“Now you come join us for a selfie.”

I scooted over and he sat down next to me, taking Sarah from my arms and holding her up so she was in the picture.

“Smile,” I said as I took our picture a couple of times.

Max got up, and as he held Sarah, he bent on one knee before me.

“What are you doing?”

He swallowed hard.

“Emma, I love you and Sarah so much that I never thought it could be possible. My love for you is so overwhelming that it makes me incredibly happy. You make me incredibly happy, and I can’t imagine life without you two. You’ve completed my entire world. Hell, you’ve completed my entire universe. You have brought so much good into my life and have taught me so many things. I need you and want you to be my forever. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me, Emma?”
