Chapter Eleven
Casey looked at Brett with scared, wide eyes, "No? "What do you mean...no?"
Brett laughed as she looked at Casey's scared face, "Casey, I don't mean no as in never, I just want something to be normal for us for once. You know?"
Casey shook his head not really understanding what Brett was saying, "Not really. What are you trying to say?"
"Well...were you really planning to propose to me while we were both in a hospital?"
"No, I was actually planning on asking you that last night we went out to dinner." Laughed Casey as he thought about their predicament.
Brett happily nodded her head at seeing him laugh, "See that's what I'm saying. Nothing goes to plan with us. I mean the first time we had sex we got pregnant with triplets, then we have ex wifes showing up, and a failed proposal."
Casey came over and sat beside Brett on her bed, "I get it."
Brett sweetly nodded, "Good because when you really do propose I want the most romantic proposal of all time."
"I think I can do that." Whispered Casey before he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
"Good," Giggled Brett.
"But you're sure you didn't look at the ring, right?"
"I'm sure!" Promised Brett as Casey took the black velvet box and hid it in his duffle bag.
Not too long after that, Will stopped by with Brett's discharge papers and instructions on what she should and should not do while on her time off.
Brett was busy taking a shower and getting ready so she didn't notice when Casey stepped into the hallway to have a private talk with Will.
"Hey, babe you almost ready?" Asked Casey as he slowly wandered back into Brett's room.
"Yep, I'm pretty close to being done." Replied Brett as she zipped up her bag and went to grab her phone.
Casey smiled seeing her now huge baby bump. He was so thrilled to be a father he could barely contain his excitement. He couldn't wait to hold all three of their babies in his arms and tell them how much he loved them. He couldn't wait for their first words, birthday parties, and so much more.
"Hey, you okay?" Asked Brett as looked over and saw that Casey was daydreaming.
Casey smiled, walked over, and placed his hand on her baby bump, "I am more than okay. Are you ready to go?"
Brett nodded completely understanding what he was saying, "Yes, please,"
Both grabbed each other's hand and their things and began making their way down to where Casey's truck was parked.
"Wow," Yelled out Brett in the hospital parking lot, causing both her and Casey to stop in their tracks and look at each other.
"What? What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Nervously asked Casey as he quickly ran his eyes over her and saw there was no obvious injury.
Brett smiled as tears started to well up in her eyes, "Give me your hand,"
Casey looked at her like she had three heads but slowly gave her his hand.
"Feel this," Whispered Brett as she took Casey's warm hand and placed it on her bump.
Casey stood there for a minute about to object when he finally felt it. Six kicks. Six hard kicks that three babies, their three babies, did over and over again.
"Wow," Whispered Casey as tears started to pull in his eyes.
"I know! I know!" Exclaimed Brett. "Will said things with my body were really delayed since I was asleep for so long, but their kicking. I can finally feel their kicking, Casey." Cried Brett as she was so overcome with emotion at finally being able to feel her babies kick.
Casey grinned and wrapped Brett in his arms. "Come on. I have a surprise for you."
Both were so happy it was hard to express just how happy they were. Will assured them that all three babies were fine, Brett's body was just having a hard time due to all the stress she had been under.
"A surprise?" Asked Brett as she got into the passenger side of Casey's truck and started putting on her seatbelt.
"Yep." Smirked Casey as he situated his left casted leg and began to pull out of the hospital parking lot.
Casey was so glad he could still drive with his uninjured leg, to be honest, Brett's driving had scared him on many occasions.
"We really need to find a bigger place soon. The babies will all need a room to themselves once they are older, and I want to find a place with six rooms and hopefully finished basement so we can make it their playroom." Mentioned Brett as she looked at the familiar roads of Chicago while Casey drove them home.
"Six bedrooms?" Asked Casey as he drove with laser focus being very mindful of the precious cargo he was transporting.
"Yeah. You didn't think we were only having three kids, did you?" Laughed Brett.
Casey looked over at Brett with big happy eyes, "You want more?"
"Of course! I've always wanted a big family."
"Good. Me too!" Replied Casey with the biggest smirk his face had ever known.
Approximately fifteen minutes later Casey pulled his truck down a hidden long and lonely driveway that contained a big, beautiful and slightly run-down looking white picket fence home.
"I thought we were going home." Commented Brett as she looked back and forth from Casey and the beautiful home.
Casey nervously looked at Brett, "Well, in a way...we are home."
"What?" Confusedly asked Brett.
"I bought this house the day you told me you love me. I've been waiting a little while for sale to go through, but while you were in the hospital, I finally got the call that it's ours."
"Wait, really?" Asked Brett as her mouth continued to hang open.
Casey nodded before turning off the truck and turning to look at Brett, "Yes, and listen if you don't like it. That's fine, we'll sell it and look for a place together."
Brett looked at Casey for a moment before responding, "Casey, I don't like it...I love it. It's everything I would ever want in a house. It's beautiful."
Casey fell back relieved. He knew she would love it. It was really a beautiful home. All it needed was a couple of touch-ups and it would be perfect.
"Good. Come on I'll give you the tour."
Brett was so amazed as Casey took her through their new home. It was simply the most gorgeous thing she had ever seen. The house had five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a huge garage, basement, kitchen, and dining room. It had everything Brett could ever want in a house, and Casey had assured her that adding on a bedroom or two would be no big deal in the future.
"How...did you afford this?" Cautiously asked Brett as she and Casey made their way back to his truck.
"Believe it or not, I actually know the lady who sold it so she gave me a really good price."
"Really?" Asked Brett.
Casey smiled and leaned over to kiss her, "Yes, really. Now, will stop worrying, please."
Brett sat there and nodded her head in complete and utter happiness. She was so happy she had everything she could ever want.
