A Wonderful Life For The Brady's ~~~~ Chapter 11

The limousine drove on until they stopped again and the door opened as a mysterious hand reached in and covered Chloe's mouth and helped her from the car.

The mysterious man walked Chloe into the auditorium where she and Brady had practiced so many times before she left for Julliard. The man left as the music from Chloe's favorite opera came on and Brady walked over to her and removed the blindfold.

"Oh my goodness, Brady!" Chloe exclaimed as she looked around the auditorium to see candles and white lilies, her favorite flower. "I love you!"

"I love you, too," Brady said as he took her hand and led her up on stage.

A small, white round table sat off to the side with a white lace table cloth and champagne glasses on either side. Candles sat in the middle of the table with lilies around them.

"You see Chloe," Brady began, "I know you haven't been able to sing like you've wanted to in a long time, so what better present could I give you for our third anniversary than a stage and music for you to sing and be happy."

"Brady, I have a little something for you too," Chloe said. "You know how we discussed that we only wanted to have the one child so we could spoil him. Sorry to burst you bubble, but... I'm pregnant."

"Chloe, that's great! That's the best present you could've ever given to me!" Brady said as he picked her up and spun her around. "You do know we can spoil this one just as much as we have spoiled Jacob," he finished.

"I'm so glad you're happy about this. To think, I was afraid you wouldn't be happy," she smiled.

"I'm more than happy! I'm...I'm... well, words can't express what I'm feeling!" Brady exclaimed as he kissed her.

"Now, get up there and sing for me," Brady said as he motioned for her to go to the center of the stage.

"Brady, I'm not sure about this. I haven't sung opera in such a long time."

"But you can sing our song," Brady said as 'I Could Not Ask For More' by Sara Evans started playing. "I rather well I have to say. I listen to you sing it from outside the nursery door every night when you rock Jacob to sleep," Brady smiled.

"Oh my goodness, the things I do for you," Chloe laughed as she began to sing for him.

Soon, she was no longer singing, instead, Brady was holding her close to him, dancing. He looked into her eyes and pulled her into a long, passionate kiss. They finally broke from the kiss, still holding each other.

"So, how about some food?" Brady asked Chloe.

"Sure, what are we having?"

"Your basic steak dinner," Brady said removing the covers from the plates. "You have your meat, your potatoes, your green beans, and of course, bread."

"I do hope you brought something else to drink besides champagne," Chloe said hopefully.

"Of course, I know you're not a big champagne drinker, so I thought about that," he replied.

Brady finished eating and looked over at his wife who was still eating.

"Brady, you know I can't eat with you watching me," Chloe said noticing him.

"I know, but I just can't take my eyes off of you," he answered, leaning over to kiss her cheek.

They stayed there for most of the night, singing, dancing, and talking, just the two of them.

"Well, I guess I'm next seeing as I'm the only person left in the car," Belle said to herself as the limousine came to a sudden halt. Shawn opened the door and helped her out of the limousine as she felt her heels sink into the ground.
