Learning To Fly (Fated Love Book 1) by Lauren Firminger Page A

this relaxed since we left Tasmania. “All right, all right. I’ll tell ya, darlin’. Better yet…” He got down on one knee, and I gasped as he held up a ring to me and grinned.  

    “Maddison Rose, I have loved you since the first moment I saw you. I can’t imagine not having you in my life. Now you have given me the best gift any man could ask for, second to your heart. Now, I want to take your last name. So, Maddie, love of my life, mother of my child, my everything, and so much more, will you be my wife? Will you marry me?”  

    I tried to hold back the tears and nodded with the biggest grin on my face. “Fuck, yes!” He slid the ring on my finger and stood up, pulling me close. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kissed him softly and whispered, “You’re forgiven.”  

    I wasn’t a morning person. I never had been, and I don’t think I ever would be. This though was worth being awake for. Morgan was the complete opposite. He was up with the sun despite how late we got to bed after his shows. The days we had off, he wouldn’t get straight up. Those mornings he would stay in bed with me until we had to move to eat or Lucas needed us, or whatever the case may have been. Early morning flights had Morgan all but carrying me down to the car. Yes, I was that spoilt. If he had to wake me, then he made sure to have coffee ready to go.  

    Daniel was the one who learned not to wake me. Word quickly spread when I put Daniel on his ass, not normally an easy feat for someone as tiny as me—it’s amazing how quickly they go down when you junk punch them. Morgan and Lucas damn near died from laughing so hard. Morgan was quick to say I told you so when Daniel needed ice for his junk. While Lucas got him sorted, Morgan got me back to bed. Since that day, it was one room for them and one for us. They would only come to ours if we told them it was okay or if it was an emergency. Thankfully, we’d not had any of those.

    Now was going to be different, though. With bean, I wouldn’t be able to have my morning coffee, and knowing my luck, my morning sickness will start at some stupid hour, so I will be awake and grumpy from no coffee. I just know Morgan will think it’s cute. It’s going to be a fun few months.

    “Darlin’, if you don’t stop thinking, I am going to take you back to bed.”  

    “If that’s supposed to make me stop, it’s not gonna work, baby.” I squealed when he poked my side “Fine…fine, I’ll stop.”  

    “Thank you.” I said and closed my eyes and relaxed as best I could.  

    “I want to get married in Tasmania. There is a beautiful spot that looks out over the water.”  

    “Just say when, darlin’, and we’ll make it happen.”  

    “I’ll check your calendar and let you know.” He chuckled and I felt his lips against my temple.  

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Morgan  

    She’d said yes! The thought made me grin even more than I had when she first said it. Part of me was just waiting to wake up to find it was a dream but no. She’d said yes, and we were having a baby. That brought me to another train of thought. I needed to keep them both safe, and as much as it killed me to think about it, that wasn’t here. She was only eight weeks, so there was time for something to go wrong if I didn’t take care of her.  

    “Darlin?” Maddie looked up at me from where her head was lying against my chest. “As much as it kills me to say this… I think we need to talk about you going to stay with your uncle for a little while. Just until everything calms down. I need to stop being selfish with you.”  

    I kissed her head as she sighed. “I was waiting for that.” Maddie tapped my arm, and I opened them up. As soon as I did, she walked back inside, and I followed her. Taking a seat on the couch, I watched her get a drink as I kicked my feet up onto the coffee table. When Maddie turned around, she saw my feet and narrowed her eyes at me until I took them off. I almost always
