Chapter 33
It's was nearing March and Anne's birthday would come soon. All of nature was awaking slowly from the sleep of the winter. Gilbert made the suggestion to go to Avonlea.
"I can only give you my present there." He said.
Anne didn't understand it. But she was happy to visit Avonlea soon. Besides, she had a surprise for Gil; she only wanted to wait for the right moment. And a stroll through the nice places in Avonlea could be the right time.
They arrived in Avonlea one day before Anne's birthday. Anne had the feeling everyone knew about Gil's present. They all smiled suspiciously and Diana grinned the whole time while Anne held her sweet little daughter in the arms. The baby had the same black hair as her mother. Her name was Anne- Cordelia. Anne cuddled the baby and her eyes glittered expectantly, but no one noticed it.
On her birthday, it was an unusually warm weather for March. But it was perfect for the day. Anne received many presents. Mary gave her a pretty patchwork blanket, from Diana there was a leather notebook, and from Gilbert a pretty necklace. She wondered what he could give her only here.
In the afternoon, Gilbert suddenly took her hand: "Now, we should go for a walk, Anne. It is a beautiful day."
Willingly, she took his arm. At the corner of her eye, she saw her mother- in-law grinning slyly. They strolled to the lake and enjoyed the sunshine. Anne decided that she would tell him her secret now. Meanwhile, they were walking to Green Gables.
"Gil, I want to tell you something." Anne started.
But Gilbert laid a finger on her lips: "Psst, first I must show you something. Come on," he took her hand and walked towards Green Gables.
Curtains were in the windows, and the court was swept.
"Does someone live here now?" Anne asked.
"Let us look," Gilbert answered and entered the porch. Without delay, he opened the door. "It is open, let us go in."
"Gil!" Anne called shocked. "We can't do this."
"Come on Anne," he said and stretched his hand to her.
Anne looked around, no one was there. She shrugged her shoulders and followed him
"Gil," she whispered as they stood in the hall. "What if someone comes home, now?"
With fear she looked around. The old farmhouse had always the same charm. Of course it was redecorated, but it still reminded her of her childhood.
"Could you imagine living here?" Gilbert asked, and softly touched her arm.
Anne laughed: "Since my childhood I have imagined living her. But now let us go, before the owners come back."
"But they are still here." Gilbert replied.
Scared, Anne turned around, but no one was behind her: "Gil! You almost scared me to death." She scolded.
"But, Anne it is true." He grinned.
Irritated, Anne crossed the arms in front of her chest: "Gilbert Blythe! Don't tease me. What are you talking about? We are the only ones here."
"Right Anne-girl."
"Gil, for havens sake."She suddenly stopped. "What did..you. say?" She gulped and looked in his eyes.
He went towards her and took her face between his hands: "My Queen, this is now your kingdom."
"What?.... But. how did you?" Anne stammered. "Green Gables is our home, now. This is my present for you."
She gave a loud cry of joy and fell on his neck: "Gil this is the best present." She kissed him.
"But, Gil," she moved back a bit to look into his eyes: "What about your work at the hospital?"
Gilbert smiled gently: "Don't be worried, my love. Everything is planned. I will open a practice in Avonlea. I want to have my own practice, now. And here is the right place for it."
"Oh, Gil. I love you so much."
"I love you too, Anne." He whispered in her ear.
She took his hand and they walked through the house.
"Gil, it is beautiful. When did you arrange this all?"
"I had a lot of help. Dad, Mom, and Diana did all the work."
"You are all amazing." Anne laughed.
"You are amazing, Anne. That is the reason why we all love you. Should we stay here tonight? Everything is here."
Anne smiled and Gilbert didn't need an answer.
Snuggled with each other, they later lay in the bed, and listened to their own heartbeats.
"Gil, "Anne whispered. "I have a surprise, too. And this is the perfect moment to say it." She sat up and looked at him.
"What is it my Queen?"
"Gil, we will have a baby." Her eyes were glittering.
"What?" he asked, astonished.
"I said.." Anne begun again, at that moment, Gilbert drew her in his arms.
"Is it true, Anne?" he asked, laughing.
"Yes Gil, we will be parents."
"Oh, Anne I love you so much." He kissed her passionately.
The moon shone on Green Gables from the old farmhouse. New life filled the house, now. A life full of luck, warmth, joy, and true love.
