I know it's been a long time since I updated this fic. Hope you guy still
remember it. I'm not sure if this chapter is good, but it'll do. (
Chapter Seven
"Landon, which one do you like better: Joseph or Joshua?" Now this was about the hundredth time she had asked me this question. Only she changed the name choices each time.
"I don't know.which one do you like?"
"I'm not sure; I don't think I want to name our child either of them now that I really think about it." I laughed, kissing her head and then turning over.
"All right, whatever you want." I closed my eyes in hopes of going to sleep while Jamie continued to thumb through her Bible. She had already decided whether it was a boy or girl, she wanted the name to have some biblical reference to it.
"Landon?"
"Yes baby?" She scooted over by me, her hand resting on my arm.
"The baby doesn't have to have a biblical name.I mean, if you'd rather have a Landon Jr. or something." I faced her and she stopped talking.
"Jamie I told you that doesn't matter to me. Stop worrying about it." I caressed her cheek softly. "I'm sure we'll come up with something." She smiled a moment later. that beautiful smile.
"You're right and we have plenty of time."
"Yes we do. So can we please go to sleep?" She grinned and nodded. I kissed her and turned over again. Darkness filled the room as did the sweet sound of silence, briefly.
"Landon I just thought of something."
"What's that?" I mumbled, and then the light was on again.
"What if it's a girl?" I turned to face her yet again. "I mean do we really want to name her something like." She never got to finish her sentence because I silenced her with a long, very long kiss. *******************************************************
"Belinda's throwing me a baby shower." Jamie told me one morning while she was making breakfast, and it caught me off guard.
"Why would she do something like that?" My voice held certain disgust I guess. Yes, I had forgiven Belinda, it was just it was still a sore subject.
"Because she's being nice."
"Jamie you two aren't really friends.I mean, think of all the things she did to you." I still had hard time letting those go.
"I forgave her remember?" When I didn't say anything she kept going. "I thought you had too." She was disappointed and I felt guilty.
"I.I have.I have.it's just.well."
"It's just what?" Her brown eyes were big with curiosity.
"Wouldn't you rather Sally give you a shower?" They had been in the play together.
"Whoever is nice enough to offer is fine with me." And that was my Jamie being Jamie. Sweet, willing and appreciative. She always made me soften.
"I just want this to be special for you and if Belinda is in charge of it.well."
"Landon, I appreciate your concern, but nothing could take my happiness away." I looked at her gentle face, forgetting about Belinda and Sally or anybody else for that matter.
"You really mean that don't you?"
"Of course I do. You've made me this happiest woman on earth Landon Carter." She grinned, sitting down on my lap.
"You've changed me forever. Did you know that?" I marveled her beauty, her grace, her ability to love others. And she surprised me yet again.
"I didn't.God did through me." It was not a normal response, it was a Jamie response. And that was even better.
"I love you." I whispered, a smile sweeping across her face. It fell soon after, seriousness taking over.
"Landon I want to ask you something.and I know we've talked about this before, but if you had known that night on the porch that I was going to live, would you have still proposed to me?" Every once in a while, she would ask me something like that. It always took me back to a different time, a different place. A place where I thought Jamie was going to be taken from me. But I looked into her eyes then and smiled. She was there, with me and we were going to have a baby. And there was no doubt in my mind what my answer was.
"In a heartbeat."
