We get legitimate, actual peace over the next two weeks.

I feel a little guilty that Ian is under so much stress, knowing his timeframe to find and kill Charles is shortened. Knowing how difficult it is for him to think there is a chance that his niece won’t make it through this ailment. He and all the Martials have really stepped up their game, hunting and searching day and night.

I do feel bad about that.

But I’m happy right now. Relaxed.

Lexington and I just get normal days. We plan our wedding. Hammer out all the details. Do the shopping we need to do for it. I go with Julie and we find a wedding dress. My options are limited somewhat, considering my growing stomach. I will be six months pregnant when we get married, after all.

Julie throws me a baby shower, which throws me off at first. But then I remind myself, they all think that I’m going to be delivering in three weeks.

I swallow hard at that. Because it means, in reality, that I will be delivering in just thirteen weeks.

“Do you realize she will be here in just under three months?” I ask, awe in my voice.

I sit in the rocking chair in the corner, my hands folded over my stomach. I watch as Lexington assembles the crib, a beautiful dark wood number, a gift from Valentina, Eva, and Po-Sun.

“Do you realize we’re getting married in five days?” He looks over at me, and I hope the way he’s looking at me never fades away.

“Wow,” I breathe, a happy smile pulling on my lips. “Five days.”

He tosses the pieces he’s working on assembling aside, and crawls over the floor over to me, kneeling in front of me, his hands braced on the arms of the chair.

His eyes burn into mine, so full of promise and wonder.

“I’ve never, ever been so happy, Elle,” he says, leaning in. “Thank you for being…everything that you are. For loving me.”

I bring my hands up to either side of his face. “Marry me?” I ask softly.

The smile on his face is brilliant. He leans in, pressing a kiss to my lips, nodding against them.

I blush, thinking of what is to come in a few days. Becoming his wife is such a big deal, yet nothing will really change.

Except what follows the wedding.

I’m a virgin.

Not necessarily by conscious choice. There just has never been anyone significant before Lexington. No one I ever felt close enough to let into my body, to connect with on that level. To open up to in a way that I know will change me.

And despite our closeness in the last few months, despite our engagement, he and I haven’t crossed that line yet. Not that it’s been talked about, not that we made some decision to wait.

Lexington just knows me so well. Knows me without having to ask.

I press my lips to his once more, my hands running down his body, appreciating the hard lines of him, the rises and falls.
