I close my eyes. There must be a god. If I ever doubted before I do not now. I am certain there is one. He let me keep my baby. I am so grateful right now. I am so grateful that I will not take any moment I have for granted.
When I thought my baby was gone, I thought my whole world was gone. I had nothing left. I don't even think Dusty could have made it all right. "Princess." I look up to see him standing smiling at me. "I just heard. Thank God everything is alright." He said as he moved towards me.
"Dusty." I just said his name to assure myself that he was indeed there.
Dusty moved towards me. He grabbed my hand and just held it. "How you feeling?" He asked. I smile at him. He's always so kind and generous. So wonderful.
"I'm doing much better now that my…I mean our baby is alright." I say to him entwining my fingers into his. "I love you Dusty Donovan, I love you so much." I say as I burst into tears.
"Hey, hey, what's this all about?" He said as he tried to comfort me.
"I don't know how I became so lucky as to find such a wonderful man like you. I don't how I became so lucky to have a child with the man that I love so much, and I'm so, so sorry for the way I had treated you before, I was wrong." I don't know what had come over me, but I had all the sudden felt the urge to apologize to him for treating him the way I did.
He cupped my face in his hands. "Lucy don't you ever apologize to me, I don't need your pity, I had enough of that with Lily, Molly and Rose all I want from you is your love nothing more and nothing less." He said as he kissed me sweetly on the lips.
I just close my eyes and savor his closeness. "I love you more than life itself Dusty."
Dusty put his palm to my cheek, "I know." He softly said. "I love you and I love our baby." He said happily. "I'm so glad that the baby is alright, it made me realize how much I want this Luce."
"Want what." I asked confused.
"You, a family, and a baby. I want it all. I want my cake and I want to eat it too. I know sounds greedy, but hey it's me we're talking about." Dusty smiled.
"I want it all too." I smile leaning in for a kiss. He gives me a quick kiss before backing away; I better let the others see you. I don't want them to get the impression I'm being too greedy by keeping you to myself."
"Let them wait, and besides I'm the one being greedy."
"How's that?" Dusty asked one his eyebrows crooked.
"I want you here with me always, I want you to stay here with me for the rest of your days, I want you to love me for ever and ever, and I just want you to be with me." I tell him, he smiles at that thought.
"I'll try to do my best Princess, but I'm gonna need something in return, I just don't do something for nothing." He smirked.
"Like what, what do you need you have me."
"Yeah, but I want you to have a healthy baby girl, that's all." He smiled
"A girl?" I think a moment; I couldn't believe Dusty wanted a girl. "I'll try my best."
"Good." He said kissing me one last time before going to get the family.
I just smile. Yeah life is gonna be good.
