" That would drive me crazy," Sebastian said, shaking his head.
Henry shrugged.
" Have you decided on a name yet?" Claire asked them.
Raelynn shook her head. " Not yet, but we have some ideas."
After chatting a little while longer, Sebastian and Raelynn left so that Henry and Claire could get back to work. When they got home, Raelynn went upstairs to take a nap because she was just exhausted. Sebastian made a few more phone calls to tell his family the news. He called his mom, who cried. He called Quinn, who didn't say much other then congrats. He called Christian, who was almost as enthusiastic as Henry had been. And he called Bill. Sebastian almost called Raelynn's parents and sisters, but decided that she should be the one to tell them.
Sebastian was ecstatic about having a boy. All the things that he was going to teach him raced through his mind. He was going to teach him all about guns and football. Those were the two biggest things. Sebastian never thought he'd be having a baby at this point in his life but it seemed as though life had other plans. Sebastian knew at that moment that he was going to ask Raelynn to marry him. And he was going to go get a ring right now. So Sebastian left Raelynn a note saying he had to run a couple errands then headed to the jewelry store.
Raelynn woke the next morning hoping Sebastian was okay. He came home yesterday from running some errands and had been acting weird the rest of the day. He was skittish and zoned out. She didn’t know if he was just thinking about the fact that they were having a boy or if it was something else. Raelynn hoped he wasn’t having second thought about having the baby. He had seemed thrilled yesterday about it, but maybe he changed his mind.
Raelynn glanced over to find Sebastian still sleeping next to her. He was on his back - his usual sleeping position - with his face turned toward her. His blonde hair was flattened over his forehead. His mouth was slightly parted and his arms were thrown over his head. Raelynn swore he slept like that all night, every night. He was always in the same position every morning. She smiled and rolled her eyes.
Sebastian’s bare chest was just begging to be touched. Raelynn reached over and slid her left hand across his tattooed chest. A sparkle caught her eye. Raelynn looked down at her hand and saw that there was a large diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand. Raelynn gasped and popped up to her knees. She clasped her left hand with her right as she gaped at the stunning ring on her finger. Was this really what she thought it was?
“ Sebastian!”
Sebastian bolted awake. “ What?! What is it? Is it the baby?!”, he sputtered as he fell out of bed. Raelynn winced at the thud. Sebastian then popped up from the side of the bed and quickly crawled over to her. Oblivious to the fact that he was naked, Sebastian asked. “ Are you okay? Do you feel alright?” Placing his big hand on her belly.
“ I’m fine, you psycho!” Raelynn giggled, looking at him like he was crazy.
Sebastian frowned. “ Then what’s wrong? Why did you call my name?”
Raelynn held her left hand up, showing him the ring while giving him a pointed look.
Sebastian glanced at it then his eyes widened in mock horror. “ Raelynn! You’re engaged?! Why didn’t you tell me?!”
Raelynn burst out laughing and threw her arms around Sebastian’s neck. Sebastian laughed and hugged her to him.
“ Will you marry me, Raelynn?”, he whispered in her ear.
“ Yes! Yes! A million times yes!”, Raelynn cried.
Raelynn pushed away from him to look at the ring again. “ I can’t believe you did this,” she breathed, tears starting to run down her cheeks.
“ Why wouldn’t I? I love you. You’re everything to me,” Sebastian said softly, brushing the tears from her cheeks.
“ I just know how you feel about marriage...” Raelynn started but Sebastian cut her off.
“ Don’t you see? You’ve changed all of that for me. I want to marry you. I want to be able to call you my wife. Forget how I used to feel. That was the old me. You turned me into a completely different man, a better man. And I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone but you,” Sebastian said roughly before cupping her face and kissing her lovingly.
Raelynn laughed and cried at the same time. She wrapped her arms back around his neck. She’s never been so happy in her whole entire life. When she first met Sebastian, she never in a million years pictured that they would be in this position. Having a baby and getting married. Sebastian had been so broken. So afraid of his feelings. Raelynn had never expected this from him. At least, not this soon. Years from now? Yeah. Maybe. But not now. Not only a year into their relationship. Raelynn now knew just how much Sebastian actually loved her.
