Claiming her babies

Monica POV

“Will you marry me again?” I instantly looked around and that was when I saw Nicholas on his knees in his white sleeve and black pant. I walked closer to him, still speechless and in shock as tears began to fall down my flushed cheeks.

“Hey honey”, he started and I giggled, feeling a lot of emotions at same time. “I know this is coming as a surprise but that was the plan after all. Meeting you has done nothing but bring me happiness, peace, laughter and joy. You’ve changed me to my better version and I wish for nothing more than you become a permanent part of my life. My life is incomplete without you and I need you in it so Monica Sterling, would you marry this handsome dead dropping cold man?”

I laughed, a sound filled with pure unfiltered happiness. Tears still steamed down my face as I covered my mouth, trying to prevent the sob that was threatening to escape as my heart pounded with overwhelming joy.

“Yes I’ll marry this cold handsome man” I said, taking out the ring I had on and stretching out my hand for the new ring, a new ring which was a reminder of our love for each other.

He placed the ring in my finger and rose to his feet as he used his index finger to wipe the tears off my eyes “you cry too much” he teased and I laughed again. “I love you,” he said.

“I love you too” I said as our lips connected, sparks flying all over my body.

“Ever since you showed up in Nicholas’s life, you two have been oppressing me just because I’m single and that’s not fair. I too deserve a kiss” Anthony said, interrupting our kiss and making us break it.

“Go get a wife jackass” Nicholas said to Anthony who poured his lips even more.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

I smiled as I looked at the sky again to discover the colorful light changed from “will you marry me again?” To “she said yes”. It looked so captivating and beautiful in the sky that I had to ask what it was. “What’s that?” I asked Nicholas as I pointed my index finger in the night dark sky

“They’re drones” he said and I was stunned and speechless. They were so beautiful and captivating that they didn’t look like drone maybe that’s because they were far up in the sky.

Nicholas held me hand and led me to a small decorated beautiful table and a bottle of champagne sat pretty in a little bucket of ice. “I wanted today to be memorable and special” he said, dragging a chair out for me to sit.

As I sat, I blushed hard, my stomach fluttering with excitement “I think you’ve outdone yourself” I said staring at his soft perfect blue eyes.

He poured me a champagne for me then himself “you deserve more than this” he said, his blue eyes softening with love and affection. “To us” he raised his glass up in the air for a toast and I joined as we both clicked our glasses against each other for a toast.

We stopped out champagne, each of us with our various thoughts and Nicholas reached across the table to hold my hands “Do you remember the first time we met?” He asked as a smile appeared on my lips as memories of that day filled my mind.

“Yes I do. You coldly told me that I couldn’t help you” I said,

He laughed, a deep sound that made my heart swell. “Yes I remember those were my exact words. When I first saw you, I was blown away by your beauty. Even if you were looking thin and unkept, you were the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen” he uttered and my heart swelked even more. This man knew how to make me blush.

“But here we are” I said squeezing his hands “Wearing another set of rings and about to be married for the second time” I said.

“Here we are, stronger and together in love again, a love that’s endless and passionate” he said.

“Do you also remember when I said I wanted to eat an apple, the look you had on your face was murderous ” I said, laughing hard as memories of that day filled my mind.

“Yes I remember but I could also remember you crying like a baby. I think Mason took after your crying attitude” he said and I spanked him hard in his arm.

“I wasn’t just crying because I like crying. Pregnancy hormones contributed too” I said, defending myself.

“I’m happy you didn’t leave me and the kids here on earth. I could still remember the fear and panic that engulfed my heart when I saw you weren’t moving that day in the hospital and seeing you smile happily now, I’m just grateful that you’re here with me” Nicholas said as he took my hands to his lips and placed a long kiss on it “I love you” he said, his words exuding sincerity and affection.

As we countined our dinner, we chatted effortlessly. We talked about our past, present and even our plans for the future. Every laugh, kiss, touch and every moment was something that I didn’t want to end.

Nicholas instantly stood up from the chair in the middle of our conversation and I became worried that something was happening.

“May I have this dance?” He uttered with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“But there’s no music” I pointed out but still took his hand.

“There’s no need for music. As far as I’m here with you, everything fades away” he replied, whispering in my ears as we both began gi dance, staring lovingly at each others eyes.

The night stars filled the sky as the air passed through our bodies and still not breaking our eyes contact with each other. This is a beautiful and perfect night. One I knew that I would never forget for the rest of my life. AT NIGHT

“Ready to go home?” Nicholas asked after we finished dancing with his hand are streched out.

“More than Ready” I replied, taking his hand.

I looked around and noticed Anthony was no longer around. “Where is Anthony?” I asked, looking around us but I didn’t catch any sight of him.

“I sent him on errands” Nicholas replied.

We walked out of the hotel building and got into the car, the cool night air hitting our skin. Nichole opened the door for me and I slid into the passenger seat. As we drove home, I watched the city light and building blur past.

When we finally got home, Nicholas carried me in bridal style and I laughed ” you don’t have to carry me. I can walk” I protested, though loving every part of it.

” I want to” he said, his deep voice full of tenderness “I want to start treating you like a queen, my queen”.

We soon arrived at our bedroom and he set me down on my feet. We took our showers, wore out pajamas and snuggled in each other embrace. I rested my head on his chest as we both engulfed in each other’s warm embrace.

As we both held each other, I couldn’t help but replay the event of the night in my head. It was perfect from start to finish.

“What about those kids? Are they home already?” I asked, referring to Vanessa and John and other kids that gave me a rose flower today.

“Yes. I instructed Anthony to be in charge of taking them back home safely.

“How did you even come up with this idea in the first place?” I asked in curiousity.

“It was all Anthony’s idea well except the kids part. Vanessa saw me coming down from the elevator yesterday and asked if I was your prince charming ” I raised my head as I stared at Nicholas in shock.

“She asked?” I said.

“Yes she did and the idea of allowing them partake in the proposal instantly hit my head. I discussed it with Anthony and he said it was gorgeous idea. I spoke with the kids and they all agreed. I spoke with their parents for permission and they all agreed too”

“Wow. You really outdid yourself” I said, resting my head back on his chest.

“That’s how much I love you” Nicholas said as he pressed his lips on my head, plastering a kiss on my head.

“Thank you for taking the kids to aunt Ella’s. I really needed a break” I said.

“I know and you’re welcome” Nicholas replied.

“Thank you for everything” I said, a sense of appreciation and love engulfing me.

“Thank you for saying yes” he said.

“Thank you for asking” I said again.

As we lay there, wrapped in each other’s arms, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I knew that whatever challenges we faced, we would face them together. Our love was strong, and it would carry us through anything.

“Good night my love” Nicholas said, pressing a kiss on my forehead.

“Goodnight honey” I said, closing my eyes and allowing sleep to to consume me.
