(Richard's POV)

-Hey, sweet. Ready to go? –I asked, kissing her lips softly. She smiled at me and walked by my side along the corridor, until we reached the elevator.

-Yes, I'm starving! How was your morning? I'm sorry, I couldn't visit you. There is plenty of work to do, more than I thought. –she said, looking sadly at me. I grabbed her face gently in my hands and kissed those red lips.

-I'm fine, although, I missed you like hell. –I said, whispering between the kiss. She held the back of my neck with her cold hand, diving her fingers between my hairs. I sucked her bottom lip gently, when I heard a small moan coming out of her mouth.

-Richard, we can't do this here... -she said, closing her eyes and trying to catch up some air.

-Unfortunately not. –I said, kissing her forehead and trying to control my pulse. I wanted her, more than anything. We made our way to the car and then to a Japanese restaurant. Olivia told me that she wished to eat sushi, so I stopped in one restaurant I've already been. We got inside and it was pretty warm. After we sat down at a table near a window and take the orders, Olivia placed her elbows on the table and looked at me.

-I've been thinking about our wedding, baby. –she said.

-Yes? What is it? –I asked.

-I think we should start to plan things out. After the first month of pregnancy my belly will only grow and... Well, I don't want to look like a snowman, as you said. –she said, laughing. I laughed back and held her hand in mine. I looked to her finger and I saw the wedding ring I gave her, when I asked her to marry me. I kissed it softly and looked back at her.

-So. When do you want to marry? –I asked. She smiled, excitement flowing in her blue eyes.

-As soon as possible. I already have an idea of my dress and some decorations for the wedding. Of course I already though about whom we should invite. But one thing I'm having trouble with, is to find the right place to make our little ceremony. –she said, looking concerned. I instantly thought of an amazing place to marry, somewhere she would absolutely love.

-I have an idea of a place and I think you would like it. –I said, grabbing my iPhone and typing the name of the place I had in mind. Google showed me exactly what I was looking for so I turned the phone to Olivia. Her eyes widened and her face was glowing with excitement.

-That's... Perfect! How do you know about this? –she said, smiling from ear to ear and looking for more photos of that gorgeous place. It was a very classic Venue, exclusively for weddings, called Caswell House, in Oxfordshire. When I was younger, I went to a ceremony there and, from that day on, I always remembered how beautiful that place was. All the different places we could walk, gardens, halls, barns. Olivia was thrilled with my idea and I thought it was the best idea too. It was in the UK, so it would be easier for everyone to move there, instead of somewhere else in Europe.

-This is the perfect place, my love! Wonderful idea! –she said, getting up from her place and coming towards me. She took my face in her hands and kissed my lips. So delicate, so adorable.

-I love you, Livy. –I said, breaking the kiss.

-I love you more. –she said, returning to her place. The food came and we ate everything till the last piece of sushi. Then we talked a bit about random stuff, wedding plans, work, our baby... I was getting anxious every second, because I knew what I had in my car, waiting for her.

(Olivia's POV)

We left the restaurant and made our way to the car. When I was about to open the door and go inside, Richard grabbed my hand and made me look at him.

-Before we go, I have something for you. –he said with a lovely look in his face. He opened the backseat door and took out a small box with a lot of cute drawings in it.

-What is this love? –I asked, laughing with anxiety.

-It's a gift. The first of many... -he said, still smiling. I didn't understand. «The first of many»? But this wasn't the first gift he was offering me. Carefully, I removed the bow and opened the box. My heart skipped a bit and I instantly felt tears growing fast in my eyes. It was the most beautiful piece of clothing I've ever seen. Just because it was given to me by Richard, it was already so much better than anything else. I took it out of the box and laughed, crying at the same time.

-This is lovely, Richard. Thank you, so much! –I said, jumping into his arms and hugging him. I was seriously going to spend the rest of my life asking the same question to myself: How can he be so loving and cute? He held my body and kissed my lips so softly and caring.

-I know you probably still have some clothes and toys you bought for Christopher and Mitchell, but I wanted to make you this surprise. –he said, with a sad smile on his lips. I kissed him back and cleaned my tears with my fingers.

-No. After both of them died, I donated everything I had to different orphanages, hospitals and children shelters. There are a lot of kids out there who are going through a lot of problems and... there was no use if I kept those things at home. So I gave away everything. –I said, smiling at him. He looked very surprised at first, but then his lips melted into a sweet smile.

-That is so kind, Olivia. I imagined how happy those kids were when they got all those presents. –he said, hugging me in his arms. Then, we got back in the car and made our way to work. I had everything set in my mind, more or less, about the wedding. I had to ask my father to go with me and Richard to Oxfordshire, so we could schedule everything for the ceremony. About my dress... I had a person in mind that would never disappoint me on making my dress.

Back at my office, I took some white paper and a pencil. I started to draw what I had in my mind for my wedding dress. Something beautiful, but not exaggerated. A little bit of sparkle, but not too much. I didn't want to look like an American gypsy. I was smiling, my heart was racing hard and I felt bubbles all over my stomach. «I'm drawing my wedding dress.», I thought to myself. I was going to marry the man of my life. I couldn't wait to have that golden ring on my finger, to look into his eyes and say «I do», to dance with him, to cut the cake, to have fun with everyone, to make love until the sun rises in the morning... I couldn't wait to be called Olivia Rogers Armitage for the rest of my life, I couldn't wait to see my baby, hold him, feed him, love him more everyday. I had a family once, but they didn't have the chance to live. William owns a very special place in my heart, as for Christopher and Mitchell. I never get them out of my memory. But I know that life goes on, that's why I moved on. I'm sure they are happy for me and Richard. As they said in Richard's dream, they look at us everyday. And it felt good to have their blessing. My thoughts were interrupted by Richard, my gorgeous man, coming in my office.

-Time to go home, my bride. –he said, smiling. How I loved him, so much.



I'm sorry!! It took me a while to post a new chapter, but I made it. I also had a bit of trouble on trying to organize all my ideas for this story. I had to research wedding dresses, baby names, places in the UK where I could schedule their wedding... Aff, a lot of stuff is coming soon here, so I have to be sure of every choice I make and be happy with it :) I've already sketched the next chapters, the wedding, the honeymoon, the birth... This story will be longer than I thought in the beginning!  For the good, of course! Thank you for following me! <3
