Chapter 21

Sarah's legs became weak from AJ's kiss and being in his arms at last. Opening her eyes for another peek, she held up her hand and admired her new engagement ring. WOW! That man had wonderful taste.

"You do understand what I meant by my question don't you, Sarah?" he asked with a soft smile, as he caught her looking at her ring.

"Yep, I marry you and get to keep you and the ring for the rest of our lives," she giggled.

"No, you silly goose!" he teased, brushing the tip of her nose with a kiss. "They are letting me take back my real identity! You can be Mrs. Chegwidden not Mrs. David Jenson, that is, if you want to take my name, I mean I know in this day and age a lot of women don't do that, it would be up to you..." he finally trailed off when she placed a gentle finger over his lips. Giving her a sheepish grin, because he knew he had been babbling, he took her finger in his mouth and sucked on it, causing her to gasp.

Watching him suck upon her finger she managed to say, "Yes, darling, I want your name as well as you. Make love to me now."

"Before dinner? That is not the Marine I once knew!" he laughed, as he returned to the kitchen and turned the oven to low and then came back to her and carried her to their bedroom.

"This Marine has another hunger to satisfy, that is much stronger than the one for food," she grinned, laying her head on his shoulder.

"Mmmm love that hunger!" he kissed her before laying her on the bed and following her down.

Looking him into the eyes she said, "This is all a dream to me, AJ. I've loved you for so long and to
think you were dead and then to have you in my arms. I want to fill our home with love and children with one very active son on the way. I love you so much, kiss me, my darling."

AJ kissed her slowly and passionately and then asked, "So, you want more children? I would love to give you one in the old fashioned way, if you do, sweetheart!"

"How about a couple in the old fashioned way, my love," she grinned. "But in the meantime, we can at least practice for the future."

"Sounds like a plan. And may I put in a request for a daughter as beautiful as her mother, please?" he said, and he made quick work of getting her out of her uniform. AJ had just a flash of longing, thinking he would never wear a uniform again, but then the thoughts of all the new and exciting things in his future with this amazing woman filled his mind and he smiled.

Reaching down a pulling the T-shirt over his head she said, "I'll do my best to see what I can do about your order, my dear, but as long as they are all healthy, I don't care what their sex is."

"I think we should just keep trying till I get a little princess, that I can spoil rotten!" he teased, as he finished undressing her and then began to gently play with her beautiful breasts. He had always dreamed of seeing them, but now they were even bigger than before, with the expectancy of their child.

"Umm, they are extra sensitive these days due the pregnancy," hummed Mac, as she slipped AJ's shorts off.

"I am still so amazed that you are having my child. Thank you, Sarah. This little bundle is the greatest gift in the world," he told her, caressing her belly.

"That's what I thought when I read your letter. I went immediately to the sperm bank and had it done, so I would have you with me always," she replied, laying her hand over his.

"I am so glad, I wanted to be a part of your life for so long and when I finally found out you cared, I was going away to die!"

"Yes, but you didn't and we have the rest of our lives together to live and love each other," she said, as she pulled his head down so their lips could meet.
