Chapter 36
Cesca held her mothers hand "Mum" she said quietly. "Mum,please wake up" she got no response. She looked at her mum, her face untouched, as beautiful as ever. Underneath was the problem. No one knew the extent of her injuries, no one knew when she was going to wake up, if she was going to wake up.
Cesca sat, talking to her for hours until her dad spoke, for the first time that evening "Cesca, you should go back to the hotel, get some rest, come back in the morning." Cesca had always done what her dad told her, she nodded hugging her dad and sisters before leaving before she headed out of the door she turned around "Papa, she will be ok won't she?" Her father nodded, she nodded too taking hold of Jonah's hand as he led the way back to the car. "Are you ok?" he asked. "I, i'll be ok, but i need you tonight, i really do Jonah."
Jonah drove back to the hotel, "Do you want to eat?" he asked Cesca. She shook her head, "Not in the mood for eating. Lets go to our room..." Their hands still holding each other as they walked towards their room. When they reached the room Cesca began to undress Jonah but he didn't respond to her touch "What's wrong?" Cesca asked.
"Ces, your not in the right place, this isn't what you need right now, i am not sure this is what you really want..." Cesca reassured him though
"Jonah, if this wasn't what i really wanted we wouldn't be staying in a hotel, i am worried but i know my mum she is a fighter, you make me happy Jonah and i need you tonight more than any night... please?"
Jonah hesitated before pulling Cesca closer to him. "Are you sure about this?" Jonah asked. Cesca looked him in the eyes, "Jonah, whats the worst that could happen, i am already having your baby!" she reminded him.
He sniggered, kissing her gently. "I'll take you to bed, IF, you marry me. Jonah said. Cesca thought he was joking, "HURRY UP" Cesca moaned. Jonah got down onto one knee. Cesca's heart raced faster and faster. "Cesca Montoya, i love you and i want to be with you forever, be mine, properly? Marry me Cesca?" Cesca's heart began to beat out of turn, skipping beats often. "Are you for real?" Cesca asked as Jonah presented a ring to her. Everything circled through Jonah's head, had he done the wrong thing? Cesca pulled Jonah too his feet, "Yes Mr. Kirby, i will be yours, properly." A huge smile spread across Jonah's face. He placed the ring carefully on Cesca's finger, catching her lips in the most perfect kiss. "I love you Mr. Kirby" Cesca said with a smile. "I love you too Mrs. Kirby to be" Jonah said winking at her.
The worse night of Cesca's life ended perfectly. Her mum was always in her thoughts but she knew how happy her mum would be for her, over the moon. She would want Cesca to enjoy this night with her handsome fiance. The night was magic, like their first night together but one million times better. She fell asleep in the arms of the man she was to marry, the man that she was always meant to be with.
