"Six weeks!" I practically shouted

Reed looked over at ," I quickly said Shit I had to keep that bit of information away from Reed because if he heard that, he would be a stickler for the rules and not touch me for six weeks

I quickly looked back at the nurse and ain and said as she looked at Reed, "It’s funny Just seeing the lost in that love they share, is a bit of a turn-on, isn’t it?"

I looked at Reed and s to have to be creative for the next six weeks"

When I looked back up at the nurse, we both began laughing Reed was now sitting down, holding Walker, and still going on ato stay open

As I was drifting in and out of sleep, I heard Reed say, "I love you,at ot up and placed Walker in his little bed, and then he walked up to ently kissed my lips

"I could never love you more than I do in this very moment You look so beautiful that you taketo spend the rest ofyou and Walker so happy Thank you"

I tilted my head and smiled "For what?"

Reed ran the back of his hand down the side ofallable to say that I found the perfect love That night when you first s for, and I thank God every day for you"

I tried to talk as I held back ain, and I slid my hand around to the back of his neck I held hier When he finally pulled away, I looked into his eyes

"Thank you, Reed Thank you for your love, for always putting ood care of e of plants"

Reed let out a chuckle as I winked

"Butus the best love story there is Ours is a beautiful, passionate, caring, and never-ending love"

I slid over and patted the bed Reed crawled in and pulled me into his arht now

"I never thought I could love you ht now, Courtney"

I sucked in a breath of air as I closed my eyes, and I just let the tears fall "I feel the same, Reed I love you"

He kissed the back of el"

The sounds of Reed’s steady breathing relaxed me even more as I drifted off to sleep I fell into a deep sleep and dreairl around the backyard

Finally, I had my happily ever after
