For the first time ever, I saw all of the tiredness lift from Maxon's eyes.
"Oh, America! I'm going to be a daddy!"
For the next few moments, Maxon and I sat in silence, thinking of our future. Only one month ago, Maxon had almost married another girl. Now, we are expecting our first child together. I pictured Maxon playing ball with his son, and him sitting and having a tea party with his daughter. Then, I tried to picture my life if I would have gone home and married Aspen, except I couldn't even think about it. Maxon is my forever, and Aspen is the past.
Maxon snapped me out of my fantasy, "America, my dear, how many children do you want to have?"
"Well, my Royal Husbandness, as many as you want to have! But please, no more than 5." I winked.
"Deal."
I sat on Maxon's desk. He leaned over and kissed my head and lightly grabbed my hand.
"America?"
"Yes?"
"This has been the happiest month of my life."
"Me too, Maxon. I love you."
Maxon kissed me and I gladly kissed him back. I used to think that Aspen was the only man I could love, but this conversation and discovery of the new heir completely washed away that old thought. Maxon is mine and I am Maxon's. Aspen is Lucy's and Lucy is Aspen's.
