Page 200 of The Baby Twist
Brayden and Ben kissed Stella’s cheek, and we all went into the dining room for dinner. Something was off with Brayden. He seemed nervous. As we were eating, he said he had an announcement to make.
“Mom. Dad. Ben. I asked Delilah to marry me, and she said yes.” He grinned.
Delilah placed her ring on her finger and held her hand out.
“Oh my God. That’s wonderful.” Stella beamed with excitement as she hugged her and Brayden.
“Congrats, bro.” Ben grinned. “Welcome to the family, Delilah.”
“I couldn’t be happier for the both of you.” I held up my glass of bourbon. “Congratulations.”
“There’s something else,” Brayden said. “Delilah is pregnant. We’re having a baby.”
After the boys helped clean up and left, Stella and I went upstairs and got ready for bed.
“We’re going to be grandparents, Miles,” Stella said.
“I can’t believe it, sweetheart.”
“Two weddings and a baby.” She climbed into bed and laid her head on my chest.
“We did good, don’t you think?” I kissed the top of her head. “We raised two wonderful and respectful boys who found the love of their lives and are starting their own families. I think we deserve a trip.”
“We were just in Italy for our anniversary a couple of months ago.” She laughed.
“We deserve another one. Block out some time from your practice because I’m taking you to the Maldives.”
“Can we get one of those over-the-water bungalows?” She lifted her head and stared at me.
“Yes. You know I’ll give you anything you want.” I stroked her cheek. “I love you, Stella.”
“I love you too, Miles.” She climbed on top of me, grabbed my arms, and held them over my head. “And I’m going to show you just how much.” Her lips met mine.
“Damn, I love when you take control.” I smiled.
