"Randy." She said tearfully. "I don't know what to say."
"Say yes." "Marry me." "If we just put in the work we can be happy together." "I know it."
"Yes, I'll marry you."
"Really?" He said happily.
"Yes." He put the ring on her finger and stood up. "Come in here." He went in. They kissed. "I love you."
"I've waited so long to hear you say that again." "I love you too."
"Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"Upstairs to celebrate our engagement."
"Sounds good."
Afterward Randy was laying down by Nicole's stomach rubbing it.
"Mommy and daddy are getting married baby girl." He said. "Isn't it great?"
"Randy have thought of any names for the baby yet?"
"Not really." "I guess we should get on it."
"I've been thinking about a name."
"What is it?"
"Khaila." "Khaila Marie."
"I like it."
Three weeks later Nicole and Randy were back on the road. As Nicole came through Randy's hotel room door she was talking on the phone.
"Thank you." She said. She hung up and sat down next to Randy on the couch. "Great news."
"What?"
"I got a job at "Liberty Clinic" in Missouri."
"You quit your job at the hospital in Chicago?"
"I was transferred." "I want to be closer to you." "I'll make less money working at a clinic but the work's more flexible." "The baby and I might occasionally get to go on the road with you."
"You didn't have to." "I know." "I wanted to for us." They kissed.
The next chapter is the last one, so if you have any story requests you haven't told me about do it now. For those of you who have sent me messages, I'm not ignoring you. I'm just keeping my options open.
