2 weeks later
"Oh, Chloe, the house is so beautiful."
"I told you it would be, mother. but there is more." I smiled. I had received good news this morning, but I wasn't telling her yet. The nurse wheeled her to her new room and she smiled at the luxuriant king sized bed and the obscenely opulent bed covers. If the only place you were ok was in bed, better make it a rocking one. I thought.Throughout these two weeks the public opinion had done exactly what I thought it would do, and I waited anxiously for the word to come that Dylan was free. i
"Look, mum , I made your room blue with purple curtains as you like. Your bed has matching curtains too." I said excitedly.
"Baby, this is like a dream come true." She hugged me. I smiled. "Get comfortable while I get something to nosh. Your grandchild makes me be hungry all the time." She laughed outright at that and I went to the kitchen. Like everything else, it was stocked to the brim in everything I needed and even a lot of stuff I didn't need. I quickly fixed a monster sized sandwich and stepped in the back yard's porch swing to eat. The sun was shinning, the sky was blue with no clouds... The only thing missing was Dylan. I remembered the first time we made love on the island, how perfect it was. I remembered how we worked together to make a shelter we could live on without being vulnerable. I didn't realize I was crying until tears fell on my chest. I hugged myself, the sandwich long devoured, and swung back and forth. Dylan... I got up and went to our new bedroom, the master suite. The bed was the same as my mother's except the wood was darker and the hangings were read. I chose this so that at night we could close the curtains and forget the outside world. I laid down, uncountably sad and took a nap for a little while.
I woke up with someone gently brushing my hair from my face. I snuggled in the warm body next to me feeling safe. Lips kissed my forehead then my cheek and I groaned in satisfaction. Then reality caught up to me. Jerking back, I saw a vision in my bed.
"Dylan... Am I dreaming?" I spoke to myself.
"No baby, I'm really here." He touched my cheek and I closed my eyes. How I missed his touch.
"Your plan worked. They moved up my trial for today and I was declared innocent. I wanted to surprise you." Salt stung my eyes and then I was kissing him desperately, wanting to feel his touch on my body, to reassure myself he really was here.
"Oh baby, I missed you so much. There wasn't a moment I didn't think about you and the baby." He whispered in my ear between kisses. He rested his hand on my belly and I felt another fluttering. I laughed and he looked at me curiously. "It's moving." I said. "It's just a flutter right now, but soon you will feel it too." I purposely held back the gender of the baby, which I had just known this morning.
We went back to kissing and soon enough, our clothes were strewn about the floor and he was poised over me looking down with love in his eyes.
"I love you." He told me passionately.
"I love you too." I told him while kissing his neck. He entered then, and I stopped thinking, just living in the in and now, almost overwhelmed by all the sensations heightened by the pregnancy. We climaxed together and held each other for an hour before managing to get up. Even that took half an hour because we just couldn't stop touching, kissing each other, afraid of this being just a dream, afraid we'd be separated again. We went down to my mother's room and sat down on her bed. She looked to us with knowing eyes and I blushed. They laughed and I covered my face.
"If you keep laughing I won't tell if it's a boy or a girl." I said whining. They immediately shut up and looked at me with anticipation... I held hands with both of them and then grinned.
"Mom, Dylan... It's Alexandra." I said at last and Dylan shouted in happiness while my mother fake pouted for a second before hugging me. "Sorry mom, I know you wanted Dimitri." I laughed, but I don't think she heard me. She was looking at my belly with such a profound look of love that I felt tears come to my eyes. She touched my stomach gently, and wiped her tears with her other hand.
"I'm so happy. With Alexandra, with Dylan... I've never felt so happy in my life." I squeezed her hand and was about to answer when the nurse bustled in and shooed us from the room. We both kissed my mum and then left. Outside, the media was gathering en force.
"You know we have to deal with that, don't you?" I said drily. He shook his head. "Let's get it over with." I said and marched out. Flashes immediately started flying and I stood in their glare in Dylan's arms. We kissed for the camera and then I walked forward, his hand on my waist.
"I want to thank all of you who helped make my happiness complete. I'm glad to tell you my mother is slowly recovering, and she is now almost out of danger. As you can see, Dylan was cleared of charges, which I also thank you. You are all invited to our marriage in a week, and I am also glad to tell you we found out today whether it is a boy or a girl." Flashes snapped like crazy and there were dozens of mics in front of me. "In five months time, we will welcome to the world our baby, Alexandra." I said. We kissed again and went back inside. Five minutes later, our statements were all over the news.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear. "I will never let you go." I kissed him and we stood together on the sofa watching TV, me in his lap. Everything was right in my world now.
