I stared at Jordan in disbelief

"Wh-what? Why a rush ?'

"No rush baby girl other than the fact that I want to make you my wife. C'mon you can't tell me that you don't love the sound of that "

I did and had for longer than I cared to admit to . But I wanted it to be for the right reasons, at the right time.

Jordan hooked a finger under my chin

"You me we got this I don't give a fuck what people think we've talked about this. I know you're terrified but guess what ?" Jordan paused arching a brow challengingly at me Daring me to even try to figure out what was going to come out of his mouth next.

I had nothing.

I shrugged my shoulders lightly waiting for his response

"So am I! I am so afraid that I finally met someone who knows and loves me for who the fuck I am and I'm going loose her . She gave me a beautiful daughter who I refuse to raise alone" Jordan continued kneeling in front of me as he wrapped his arms around my waist his voice cracking as I watched his eyes fill up.

"J-"

Jordan cut me off before I could finish my thought .

"I'm just telling you how I feel baby. You have told me , asked me not to shut you out. I haven't nor will I start now. Just don't leave me "

I pulled Jordan into my arms tighter as he rested his head on my breasts

Looking down into his beautiful eyes I could see a mix of emotions but the one that stuck out the most was love. I'd seen it enough from Johnny to know that when it shone that bright in someone's eyes it was true and meaningful. I made a decision at that moment that no matter however long I could I wanted to be Jordan's wife . He made me feel like I already was but he obviously wanted it on the books legally. 

Trying to play it off coolly I smiled down into those big chestnut eyes I fell in love with long before meeting their owner , that looked up at me with fear, anticipation and hope in them "I guess we need to set a date Mr. Knight " I whispered smiling coyly at him

Jordan tightened his arms around my body crushing my stomach closer to his cheek as he moved to get better leverage to stand up

"Put me down you're gonna break something "I grumbled

"No I'm good baby " Jordan assured me as I felt myself be lifted higher in the air.

I felt Jordan's lips on mine "I don't need anything huge just need you " I murmured against his lips

We chose the following weekend to give my family time to get to Massachusetts and Jordan to shift his schedule to accommodate the time off to get married. I wanted to do it before the treatments would make me sick and Jordan agreed.

The week flew by in a whirlwind of activity to get everything and everyone together and before we knew it the morning of the wedding was upon us. Jordan took care of every detail even the small ones and when I awoke to my soon to be husband serenading me I knew the day would be perfect
