Liam's Letters • Part 2

10

On evening Renée wanted Sébastien to take some time off and take her out for the evening.
She wanted him to take her dancing. She loved dancing with him. They found a restaurant called 'Jardine' in Cape Town. Owned by a renowned Scottish chef. The food was out of this world.
Then they went dancing at 'The Loft Lounge' in the ultra trendy area of De Waterkant Village in Cape Town. Inspired by New York's now famous loft apartments, this double volume venue catered to a trendy and sophisticated crowd. Spoken of as a chill lounge, guests could relax and dance the night away with European and American music. Beautiful views of both Table Mountain and the Cape Town City centre.
Renée loved it.
As they danced Sébastien held Renée close. All of a sudden Sébastien heard the pianist playing his song. He pulled away from Renée and smiled at her, she smiled back. The pianist said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the privilege of having Sébastien in the house tonight. His lovely wife Renée requested a song for him to sing. Will you come and sing for your wife?"
Sébastien was shy at first, as he always was, but then he accepted and the crowd clapped.
Renée sat at a table near the piano and Sébastien took the mic.
Sébastien began by talking, "As some of you may have heard, this song is on my latest CD called Best Gift, I hope you like it." He sang:

I believed I have loved you all my life
Please share with me and become my wife.
"I do" you say.
That made it the best day.
"What gift can I give you?"

The best gift of all my Lady.
The request of my heart
is my baby.
-----
She's here, blue eyed and blond.
I've dreamt of her so long.
My precious sweet girl
with ten toes that curl.
She's a gift from above.
The best gift to love.
The words kept ringing in my ear.

The best gift of all my Lady.
The request of my heart
is my baby.

She crawls, she walks, she runs.
Who knew it would be such fun.
I wish time would stand still
because she my heart fills.
I cant live without her.
There's no doubt about her.
I repeated those words again.

The best gift of all my Lady.
The request of my heart
is my baby.

I thank you my wife
for the most sublime gift in life.
She helps me to cope
and shows me there's hope.

The best gift of all my Lady.
The request of my heart is my baby,
Thank you!.......
Thank you!......
Thank you!"

As Sébastien finished the song he looked at Renée, while everyone started clapping, and she mouthed the words to him,

" Y o u r W e l c o m e "

Sébastien started out by smiling to the crowd, smiling at her and then all of a sudden his eyes widened, he leaned his head forward towards her in an attempt to confirm what she was saying.
She was still smiling and nodding her head, saying in her mind, 'Yes, you are figuring it out...keep going.' She started raising her eyebrows and nodding her head 'yes'. Sébastien practically leapt towards her, grabbed her by the arms, made her stand up. He was looking intently in her face now smiling.
"What did you say?" Sébastien asked her smiling, beaming at the possibility.
"I said, your welcome."
He just stared at her.
She asked, "Would you like to have a baby?"
He was hugging her now. "Of course I would!"
"Can you wait about seven more months?" She asked him smiling.
"No, I can't, as a matter of fact!"
Still smiling and both laughing, Sébastien picked her up off her feet and spun her around and around. Put her down and started kissing her all over her face. Then came the grateful, endearing kiss.
Everyone was just staring at them. Smiling at the true love they saw. Sébastien grabbed the mic again, he was ecstatic, "Everyone............we are going to have ..............a baby!"

Everyone cheered and applauded.

Now they danced the night away in a different mood and mode. Sébastien was on top of the world. His dreams, all of them, were coming true.
