Lock And Load (Chicago P.D.)

Chapter 31

    I put the last pin into my dirty blonde hair to hold my messy bun into place. I then grab my gold necklace with the large, navy blue triangles off of the counter and secure it around my neck. I put in my dangly gold earrings and then go to the bedroom. I then grab my dress off of my bed and slip it on. I go to the mirror and smooth out all of the creases in my navy blue, knee-length dress with small sleeves that just cover my shoulders. I smile at my reflection and make my way downstairs.

When I arrive and Sean sees me his jaw drops. I blush and smile at him. Camille then walks up to me and says, "So pretty Mama!"

I smile, kiss the top of her head, and say, "Thank you Sweetie." I then kneel down so that I'm at her level. "Sean and I are leaving for supper now but Daddy will be here with you. You'll make sure that you're a super-duper listener, right?"

She nods and says, "Course Mommy."

I thank her and give her a hug. I then stand and go to the front door. I slip on my peep-toe navy blue high heels and follow Roman to the car. Once we're enroute to the surprise place he picked for dinner he says, "You look breathtaking babe."

I smile and say, "Thank you." 

He nods and then we continue chatting until we reach the restaurant. As we pull up I say, "Sean! You didn't!"

He chuckles and says, "But I did."

I smile as he comes around and opens the car door for me. I take his hand and then we go up to the restaurant Cite, a French/American restaurant with breathtaking views of the city.

When we arrive upstairs we're seated at a table with the best view in the entire restaurant. We both order wine and when the waitress comes back I order the lamb chops and Sean orders the chicken paillard. Once the waitress leaves we both take a sip of our red wine and then I say, "So I've been thinking lately..."

Roman chuckles, grabs my hand, and says, "That can't be good."

I stick my tongue out at him and then say, "I was wondering if you'd like to move in with me and Camille. I love having you around and I know that you're more of a dad to Camille than Steve will ever be. You spend a lot of time at the apartment anyway so why not make it official? I understand if you think that we're not at that point yet in our relationship or you just aren't ready to be a father figure to Camille."

I look down at my lap but Sean is quick to lift my chin with his spare hand. He smiles his smile that I am so in love with and then says, "Laynie, I would love to move in with you and Camille. There's nothing I love more than waking up to your beautiful face every morning. I also love playing with Camille and seeing how she takes in the world around her. I'd love to be there and look after my girls all the time. These past six months with you have been that happiest of my life and I'm so ready for us to live together. I'd also be honoured to be a father figure for Camille. I love her like she's my own daughter."

I quickly wipe away a few tears that have escaped my eyes and say, "Sean, I'm so happy. I love you with all my heart and I'm so relieved that you feel the same way."

He nods and we share a quick kiss. Our food then comes and we are quick to begin eating. We both savour every bite and are finished in not time. When the waitress comes back we order a New York cheesecake for us to share. When it arrives we both eat quickly. Once we've finished Roman pays for our meal and then we exit the restaurant and make our way to the pier for a moonlit stroll.
