Nora POV

When I opened my eyes, I was standing in the living room of Dylan & Lilith's house; the rug was plush and fluffy like clouds under my toes. Their house was old fashion, nothing fancy. In front of the black leather sofa that I feel asleep on was an old, bulky TV on a small wood stand which sat in the corner of the room. Next to the TV was a large window; old, flower printed curtains draped delicately from each side. I made my way to the window looking out searching for him. The moon stood high in the sky past its peak with hundreds of bright, shiny stars around it. That's when I saw him. He was searching for me. Swiftly, I made my way outside.

"Patch…" his name barely came out an audible whisper. He let out a heavy sigh that sounded like he had been holding it in for eternity. He crossed the space between us in a few, long strides before gathering me in his arms. His arms were so strong and warm; they felt like home, but I stepped out of his embrace.

Angel.. He breathed into my mind. He met my forehead with his; capturing my face in his hands bringing me close again. I didn't resist this time. He didn't kiss me, but his lips touched mine so softly and tenderly that I wish he had. I couldn't deny that I missed Patch deeply and wanted him to hold me and never let me go, but I felt like I couldn't trust him anymore.

"Angel.." he said again in a pained voice. I looked away from him; my heart ached when I looked at him. His hands slid down my arms to my hands, holding them in his.

"I'm staying at a friend's house in Kouts, Indiana. Maybe we can talk things out?" I said looking up at him, meeting his eyes; they were worried and sad. I gave him a small smile. He nodded before leaning in and kissing my forehead. A kiss that was a silent promise. With that the dream faded…

The morning passed with a quick bustle. Dylan came and left for work in a flash. I found out that Lilith works at the family business too, but as a co-owner and sometimes a fill in waitress. She was given the day off so she could look after me until Patch got here. While Lilith was preparing breakfast, she told me I was welcome to jump in the shower. I haven't showered in a few days so I thanked her and jumped in the shower.

The warm water felt incredible on my skin; it washed away my pain and sadness, leaving me feeling fresh and renewed. I can't wait for Patch to get here. I looked down at my stomach. My belly was now a few inches protruding and rounded. I want to make things right and start over especially with our child on the way.

Breakfast was silent. Lilith and I sat on the opposite sides of their small dining table chowing down on our bacon and eggs when suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. I knew who it was, but how did he get here so quick? Indiana was what 16 hours away from Maine?

Lilith turned to me searching my expression. "You ready?" She asked. I nodded slowly. She got up from the dining table and headed from the door. I got up slowly and waited. She opened the door, as soon as she did Patch fixed his eyes on me. I kept my expression straight as he watched me. I looked to Lilith who was frozen by Patch's overwhelming presence and took a step back. When she recovered she took a step to the side and let him in. His eyes were still on me, watching me. Once Lilith stepped to the side he strode towards me quickly and scooped my face up in his hands. I looked deep into his deep charcoal eyes; they were distressed but relieved.

I'm sorry.

His words threw me off. He was apologizing? I was speechless; Patch never apologized.

I don't know what I was thinking. You're the world to me, Nora; I want nothing more than to make you happy. But, having a baby.. it-

I cut off his thoughts, shaking my head.

"I know... I'm scared too." He breathed a heavy sigh of relief, finally glad that I understood. "But we'll be okay. The baby will be okay."

"And I'll be there. Every step of the way. I won't fail you, Angel. " He promised. "I want to show you that."

"Patch?" I said confused. He lowered to one knee. Oh god, He's not.. He pulled something from his pocket. A ring. He is. I wanted to squeal and do a happy dance. He took my hands in his.

"Nora, I want to love and treasure you for the rest of eternity. You have brought me happiness; something I thought I'd never have."

With your love, you've ended my eternity of suffering. He spoke in my head. He moved his hand to my stomach. "I want to be there with you every step of the way; to help and care for you and when you deliver our child, I'll be right there next to you. And when it's all over, if you will have me, I want to take your hand in marriage." I bit my lip to keep from crying. "Nora? Will you marry me?"

Once he said those 4 words I couldn't hold it in. The tears flowed down. I nodded ecstatically; too choked up to speak. Patch slid the ring on my finger; I pulled him up and quickly found his lips to mine. The kiss was infinitely passionate and well over due. Patch cupped the sides of my face and kissed the wet tears on my cheeks before finding my lips again. I set my hands on his chest, relishing the feeling of his heart beating. We shared one last quick kiss before pulling away.

"Let's go home."
