“Yes,” this time she answers me with more than a nod. “Terrified. I don’t know if I can do this…especially by myself.”
“But baby,” I use my thumb to wipe her tears away, “you aren’t alone. I’m not mad about this at all. And this changes nothing between us…well, it might change one thing.”
She looks up at me with big watery eyes, “What?”
I lean in close and tell her with a grin on my face that tells her she has nothing to worry about, “Your last name.”
“My…last name?”
I nod.
“But…this…” she waves her hands around, “this was never meant to be…that.”
“Remember Rule Number One?”
She nods, “Yeah. Rule Number One says I’ll stay with you until you teach me everything.”
I give her a big grin and share my secret with her, “I had already made up my mind to make sure it would never end. To always have something new to teach you, to show you.”
“But…what else is left? Especially after anal?”
I burst out laughing before I can stop myself. She’s serious but the way she says it is the cutest fucking thing. And makes me want to slide inside her again. v“Teaching you how to love me when you are full of my child. Pregnant sex.” I kiss her mouth after every example and keep going, “Sex after the baby is born. Getting these,” I cup her breasts tenderly, “in my mouth when they are full of sweet milk to nourish our baby. Making love to each other when you take my last name - married sex on a honeymoon. Love the night before you walk down the aisle to me.”
She gives me a watery smile and I take her mouth with mine. After a couple of minutes spent thoroughly exploring her mouth, I pull back.
“Of course…there’s a lot of firsts for me too. You might have to teach me some things. Be patient…I’m a slow learner.”
She laughs and kisses me this time.
“So what do you say, Brook.” I pull out a little black box I’ve been carrying around with me for two months now. I open it to show her the ring. “Be my wife, my student, my teacher, the mother of my children, the love of my life?”
She starts crying again but this time there’s a smile on her face.
“Yes! Yes! Of course! I love you, Waylen.”
“I know.”
“What?” Surprise has her voice climbing higher.
“You told me the first night we made love. You said it in your sleep, but it still counts.” I stare into her eyes and give her the whole truth about that night, “You said it when I was telling you that I love you.”
We spend the night teaching each other what it’s like when the woman you adore wears the ring you just gave her while making love to each other. It’s one of my favorite lessons so far.

Brook
Two Weeks Later
I can’t believe I’m about to get married. So much has changed in the past couple of months that it’s a little hard to make sense of it all. Birdie got married, like four days ago on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in the backyard of their huge ass house. It was so romantic and sweet. I was one of the bride’s maids and caught the bouquet which made Waylen laugh his ass off.
And to my surprise and eternal gratefulness, Birdie’s mom also helped me plan my wedding to Waylen. We wanted something a little…less social. Okay, I wanted something a little less social. But Waylen had to invite all of his friends from the force and quite a few people wanted to come from my side of the family. It’s ended up being bigger than Birdie and Gareth’s and that is why I am in the little room at the inn having a nervous breakdown.
Adding to my surprise my mom steps through the door. “Don’t you look beautiful.”
“Mom?”
