Love Me Tender

Chapter 19

Emma felt the fire in the pit of her stomach grow, every time Peter touched her it made it smolder. He must have know what he was doing cause he would grin at her.It was like he knew exactly what he was doing to her body. He would smile at her knowing that every touch created a spark of pleasure that flowed through her body.

Peter felt the sparks with every touch, he loved the way she made him feel. It wasn't much longer before he was to ask her to marry him. He had a plan, and it was going to be wonderful. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the exit. As they left city hall, they ran towards the little park close by. He pulled her into his embrace, she felt like a piece of heaven in his arms.

He looked down into her eyes and kissed the tip of her nose. Emma closed her eyes waiting for his lips on hers. She had never felt like this in her entire life, she didn't want it to ever stop. He smiled at her closed eyes and lifted her pouty mouth to his. He knew that she wanted to be kissed, he knew that this was his chance.

" Emma, I know that it hasn't been that long since I have declared my feelings for you. But there is something I want to ask you. I want to do this the right way, before we kiss anymore I need you to know just how I feel."

Emma looked up into his eyes and smiled" OK, where do you want me?"

Peter smiled, and held her hand as he walked to the opening. As the fireworks were about to start, he wanted to make sure they had a great view of the sky. He sat her down on a stone bench, he bent down on one knee. Emma started to tear up, Peter smiled at her. 

"Emma, I have known you since the day you were born. I remember when you would follow me around, I could never imagine that little girl becoming a woman like you. I have dreamed of meeting my life partner, one that I could love for the rest of my life. Someone who makes me smile every minute of the day. I can't live without you in my life, I want you by my side forever. Emma, would you make me the happiest man on this earth? Will you marry me?"

Emma started to cry, she couldn't imagine life without Peter. He would provide her with a loving home and a father for Carrie. They would have more children if she could have anymore. She looked at him and smiled" YES! I will marry you."

Peter picked her up and swung her around, he then kissed her. As their lips met, the first firecracker boomed in the sky. Emma started to giggle at the timing, and Peter set her down. They stood there in each other's arms watching the fireworks boom in the night sky.

As the night progressed and the fireworks was over. Everyone retired to their homes for the night. Emma was beaming with joy, in fact Rebecca noticed her glow. She noticed that even Peter had a glow  about him. So she knew that something important happened between the two.What ever it was it has made both of them happy.

That was then Peter spoke up," I have an announcement to make, I asked Emma to marry me." 

Everyone stopped and looked at them, Rebecca held her breath so did Rachel. Peter just looked at everyone before answering, it was keeping it suspenseful. That was till Rachel got tired of waiting for an answer," well what did she say?"

Peter beamed with happiness," She said yes!"

Emma was blushing from head to toe, she was a little frightened by it all. Rachel squealed in delight. Before Emma knew what was happening, Rachel and Rebecca grabbed her up in a hug. They were so happy that they started to talk about planing the wedding.

They were so excited, they were going to plan an outrages event. That was until Peter stopped them," We decided not to wait long to be man and wife, we want to get married in two weeks.'

Rebecca about fell out of the wagon, Rachel's mouth dropped and stared at the two in front of her.Emma smiled sheepishly, and Peter dared her to contradict them. Rebecca looked at her son," You have given me two weeks to pull of this wedding?"

Peter smiled" yep it seems that way, I am sure it can be done."

Rebecca always liked a challenge, " OK, it can be done and don't worry it will be fabulous too."

Rachel who was still slack jawed just stared in shock, she had no clue that this was going to happen so fast. As long as Emma was happy then so would she. After all she did deserve to lead a happy life with the right man.Peter looked at his sister and smiled" um Rachel, you are starting to drool." 

Rachel closed her mouth and snapped out of her shock," Fine then I get to announce Adam and My news."

Peter smiled" OK what is it?"

Emma smiled" I know what it is and it is wonderful news."

Rebecca looked at her daughter, " Are you?"

Rachel nodded as she teared up," I am going to have a baby."

Everyone made their rounds of congratulations, Emma hugged Rachel. Rebecca cried and of course Peter had to make his comment. " As long as you are not like Grace, then it will be great. But if you are then oh great not another one."

Adam smiled" well we could make it interesting then, put both of them in the same room and see who comes out alive."

Peter chuckled" I don't know if Rachel would make it, Grace has it down pat." 

Adam smiled" You may have a point there."

Rachel swatted at him, " Emma, I want to help with your wedding do you mind?"

Emma smiled" I wouldn't expect for you to not to."

They all chuckled and made plans for the up coming nuptials. They made it home in the dark and went to their homes. Peter walked Emma to the door of her cabin," I wish that we were already married, I don't want to leave."

Emma smiled up at him" well don't leave, I want you to stay. You can finish what you started earlier this evening."

Peter growled" You sure you don't want to wait till we are man and wife?"

Emma looked at him" no, I know that you would never hurt me. Besides I want to know what I am getting myself into with you. I have never felt the way you make me feel just when you look at me."

Peter chuckled," I will only stay if you really are sure, cause if you are not sure then I don't want to ruin anything." 

Emma stepped up on her tip toes, she grabbed him by his lapels and pulled him close. She gently placed a soft kiss against his lips. " I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't sure I wanted to do this with you.."

Peter backed her in the doorway," Well you don't have to ask me twice." 

He drew her close to his body, she felt the heat rise in hers at the slightest touch of her breasts against his chest. It felt amazing and wondered just what it would feel like without the clothing barrier? She about jumped into his arms and he chuckled. He picked her up bridal style and headed into her bedroom.
