A Warrior and his Omega

Chapter Thirty Six

Atticus POV

It was finally Friday and Sylis held my hand as he lead me outside into the night. I was met with a small red blanket on the ground in the backyard. Candles were scattered around it as three sat in the middle of a wall of pillows and four containers of food.

He lead me to the small area and sat down pulling me into his lap. Slowly he fed me, soft music playing in the background as he did so. We said nothing, we just looked into each others eyes. A smile was on his face and it made me happy.

I loved seeing him happy. I loved him and that was that. I turned in his lap and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"What are you thinking about baby?" He asked softly, searching my eyes as he did so.

"How much Atticus loves Sylis." I pured.

He smiled and pressed his kids to mine.

"I love you too." He paused." Baby do you know what day it is?" He asked softly.

"Friday." I smiles.

"Yes but its also the fourth of July and on this day we have fireworks." He said and laid down pulling me with him."look up at the sky baby." He whispered in my ear softly.

I nodded and looked up, watching as a white light shit through the air and exploded with a crackle. I gasped, mesmerized by the colors as they shot through the air.

"Sylis." I gasped as more shot up in the sky and exploded.

"Just watch baby." He cooed.

Letters popped up as they exploded and my eyebrows scrunched together. I couldn't read and tried to bite back the tears as the blurred my vision.

"Shh baby its OK I'll read it to you." He purred and rubbed my stomach with his hand.

"It say Atticus." He said as they faded.

More shot into the air and my eyes stayed glued to them.

"I love you baby." He said softly, his hot breath fanning my ear.

Regular popping ones shot into the air and he stood up,pulling me with him. He pecked my lips and smiled at me.

"I love you Atticus, you don't know how much you mean to me at all. I'm so sorry I rejected you all tjoes months ago but I'm glad I got a second chance." He paused and dug through His pocket." You are my world and I will do anything to keep you happy. I need to ask you to do one thing for me." He said and sank down to one knee and pulled out a small velvet box. "This is one of the only few things I will ever ask you. Will you Marry me?" He asked opening the box to reveal a small silver ring.

"Sy-sylis." I choked up as tears came to my eyes.

Sylis explained that humans marry each other when they really love each other. That it was one of the closest things you could get to telling one how much you love them. That you want to spend eternity with them.

"Yes." I hiccupped as the years of joy slipped down my face.

He smile the brightest smile I had ever seen and took the ring and slipped it on my finger. He stood up and oued me into his chest as I cried.

"Don't cry baby its alright." He cooed.

"Atticus love Sylis so much. Can't help crying." I said into his chest.

He chuckled and picked me up so I could wrap my legs around his torso. He smiled at me and I took his face into my small hands. I pressed my lips to his and wrapped my arms around his neck. A breathy laugh escaped my lips as I rested my forehead against his.

"Atticus you make me so happy, god I love you so much." He said in a breathless chuckle.

He spun me around in a circle and hugged me tighter. I could still hear the fireworks popping but I was no long focused on them. I was focused on the man that held me in his arms, the one that had loves sparkling as he looked at me, the one that had a smile on his face as he repeated the words I love you.
