A Love Like This (Stauren) {Book 1: Completed}

Chapter 29

*Lauren's POV*

"Lauren Cohan, will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Yeun, and will you marry me?"

I couldn't speak, I couldn't breathe. All I could do was cry and cry tears of joy. I nodded my head over and over again and Steven stood up, myself instantly wrapping my arms around his neck. "I love you," he said into my neck and I brought my face up to kiss him. "Hey, don't cry." His fingers lightly brushed away the tears, only to have more fall down a second later.

There was then a loud squeal and Emmie quickly jumped up into Steven's arms and hugged the both of us. "Were you in on this?" I asked Emmie and she grinned.

"Yep, and you never knew a thing!" I could tell by her face that Emmie was proud of herself. "Can we go night swimming?"

"You want to?" Steven asked me.

"Why not?" Emmie squealed again before dropping to the ground out of Steven's arms. She quickly ran up the beach and back into the condo to change.

"Shall we?" Steven was trying to be classy and held out his hand for me. I chuckled at him before taking him hand and starting to walk. "Oh wait." He stopped abruptly and turned me to face him. "I forgot one thing." Steven pulled out the ring and slipped it on my finger before bringing it up to kiss my hand.

"It's perfect." I wrapped my arms around his neck again, kissing him passionately quickly after. "We better go get changed."

Hand in hand, we walked back into the house and I went to get my swimsuit. It would probably be one of the last times I would be able to wear a bikini so I took the opportunity. "I like that on you." Steven smirked and pulled on his swim trunks. "Not only do you look amazing in it, but I can also kiss our little baby as many times as I want." At that, he knelt down to kiss my small baby bump that was now starting to show. "I live you my little baby."

"Come on, come on, come on!" Emmie screamed from the hallway and banged on the door. I laughed and Steven stood up and all made out way back out to the beach.

Emmie was in the water faster than I thought she could even move. Steven and I took out time as we made our way down to the water. "Hang on a second," Steven said and I stopped. In a moment Steve had picked me up bridal style and was carrying me closer and closer to the water. I turned my head to kiss his neck.

I was enjoying the moment until suddenly I was dropped into the freezing cold water. "Steven!" I screamed and wiped my eyes. "Oh my gosh it's freezing!" Steven laughed at me and I jumped onto him for warmth, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. I felt his thumbs slightly slip in my bikini bottom and I slapped his hand away with a laugh.

"Hey, not here Mr. Handsy, someone could see like I don't know....your daughter," I joked and he chuckled back.

"She's your daughter now too." I smiled and pecked his lips.

"Daddy!" Emmie yelled out from the shore. "C'mere!" She waved to tell us to come over to her, so I unwrapped myself from around Steven and we walked over. "Look what I made you guys." Emmie pointed down at a small sandcastle she had made and right in front of it she had written with her finger:

S + L

What Emmie had written was also surrounded by a heart.

"Thanks, Em!" I hugged her shoulders. "It's beautiful."

~•~•~•~•~

That night, Emmie asked to sleep with us so of course, we let her. Who could say no? I could tell that she was awake by the slightly loud sigh that she let out. I glanced over at Steven who was sound asleep before sitting up. Since Steven was a deep and heavy sleeper, I turned on the light on my nightstand and whispered, "Emmie?"

"Hmm?" She rolled over to face me.

"Why aren't you asleep, hun?" I asked and she sat up next to me.

Emmie pressed her lips into a straight line and played with her small fingers. "I'm just...I'm just um....worried."

"About what?" She quickly glanced up at me with sad eyes.

"I'm just scared that daddy will forget about me after the new baby is born, or that maybe you will forget about me too," she whimpered. Her words made me instantly sad that Emmie would even think that. I wrapped my arms around her and she laid her head on my chest.

"Oh, baby girl. Nobody's gonna forget about you. Who could ever forget about of you?" She sniffled and played with the hem of my shirt. "I promise we won't."

We sat there together in silence for a couple minutes before Emmie said something. "I'm happy that you and daddy are getting married."

"I am too." Emmie sat up and moved into my lap and looked down at my stomach, gently placing both of her hands on it. "Is the baby a boy or a girl?"

"Well we won't know until we get another ultrasound done, but our next appointment is right when we get home from vacation."

"I think it's a girl. I want a sister."

She then let out a long yawn and I could see the tiredness in her eyes. "Go to bed, Em. I can tell you're tired."

"Okay," she said and then paused. "I love you......mom."

I smiled widely and kissed her head. "I love you too, sweetheart."
