Ch. 25
After spending the last couple days including New Year's with Patrick and the kids, Sabrina finally decided to meet up with Lily at the Metro Court. Sabrina was seated in the Metro Court restaurant as she waited for her mother to come down from her room. She still couldn't believe that Lily and Sonny were her biological parents. She noticed Lily immediately when she walked into the restaurant. Sabrina couldn't help but notice certain similarities that Sophie and Samuel shared with Lily as she looked at her mother. Lily had a smile on her face as she saw her daughter. She was so happy when Sabrina called her to set up a lunch date so that they could talk. Lily sat across her daughter. "Hi sweetheart." Lily greeted. Sabrina smiled. She had always felt a connection and safe with Lily. "Hi Lily." Sabrina replied. "How was New Year's?" Lily asked. "It was great. Patrick and I stayed in with the kids and watched the ball drop and Juan stopped by before he left." Sabrina replied. Lily nodded sadly at the thought of her son leaving. "That's good to hear. I also got to see Juan before he left." Lily stated. "Hey, don't be sad. Juan finds time to visit us from time to time. He even talked about flying us all out to come see one of his shows. He'll be back before you know it." Sabrina said reassuringly. Lily smiled. "You're right; I just wish he could stay so that I could have more time with him." She stated. "I get it; I miss him when he's gone too." Sabrina said. Lily smiled. "I am so happy that you and Juan have such a great relationship with each other." Lily pointed out. "Me too, having him around has always been like having a piece of my childhood with me." Sabrina admitted. "Sabrina I know that it was a shock to find out that Sonny and I are your biological parents." Lily began. Sabrina nodded. "It was a shock. Before she died, the woman who raised me was a wonderful woman. She was a great person and mother." Sabrina responded. "And I hope you know how grateful I am for her. Elise Santiago raised you to be a wonderful woman. She was there for you in all the ways I wished I could be and I wish that I could thank her. I wish that she could see the woman you are today because I know that she would be proud of you just like I am." Lily said. Sabrina had tears in her eyes. Lily reached across the table to grab Sabrina's hand. "I miss her so much and I wish she was here too. I wish she was here to meet my kids and I hold her in my heart forever. But you're my mother as well and I want to get to know you. I want my kids to know you." Sabrina said in a tear filled voice. Lily's eyes filled with tears as she squeezed Sabrina's hands. She smiled. "Thank you so much Sabrina. You have no idea how much this means to me." Lily said. "I think I do. Emma and the twins are my lives and I cannot imagine my life without them." Sabrina replied as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Lily nodded. "I can't wait to meet them." Sabrina smiled. "Me too." Lily and Sabina continued to talk for a little while longer and they planned a picnic date for them and the kids. "I'm so happy that you decided to meet with me today. Have you spoken to Sonny?" Lily asked. "Yes I have. He stopped by the house a couple of days ago. We had a talk just like the one we had today and I've decided to get to know him as well. He wants to introduce me to the rest of the family." Sabrina explained. "I would've never imagined that Sonny would have such a big family but from what I've heard, he loves his children fiercely." Lily said. "Yea he let it be known right away that he loves me. I have to admit, I was surprised. He doesn't even know me but then again, I guess it doesn't matter when it comes to your child." Sabrina said. Lily nodded in agreement. They talked for a little while longer before Sabrina left. She promised to keep in touch with Lily before she left. "I'm glad we talked." Sabrina said. "Me too sweetheart. I look forward to hearing from you." Lilly said as she hugged her. Sabrina returned the embrace and sank into Lily's warmth.
When Sabrina got home, she found Emma helping Patrick feed the twins. "Hey, how was your lunch date with Lily?" Patrick asked. Sabrina smiled at them. She took off her jacket and joined them in the living room. "It went really well." Sabrina replied. She leaned over and kissed Emma, Patrick, and the twins. "We talked and Lily and I have decided to build a relationship. It went really well." Sabrina replied. "Am I going to get to meet your other mommy Sabrina?" Emma asked her. "Of course you will sweetie. I told Lily all about you and your brother and sister and she can't wait to meet you three." Sabrina answered. "It's another thing we have in common; we both have two mommies." Emma stated. Sabrina and Patrick glanced at each other before Sabrina leaned over to kiss Emma on her forehead. "You're right Ems and I'm so happy that you think of me as your second mommy. I'm honored." Sabrina said.
As the months flew by, Sabrina was happier than she ever thought possible. She had met and got along with her additional family members. It shocked Sabrina to see how the Corinthos clan embraced her and her family. Over the past couple of months, Sabrina bonded with her brothers, sister, and sister-in-law. She also got to know and form a bond with Sonny and Lily. Sonny planned frequent dinners at his house so he could have his children under his roof all at once. It was a sight that he would never tire of. Patrick and Sabrina eventually agreed to allow their kids to be around Sonny and get to know him as well as Lily. Things between Patrick and Sabrina were also great. When they found the time between their family and work schedule, they spent time with each other, dating and getting to know one other again. They fell in love with each other more than they thought possible.
It was now the month of May. Not only was Sabrina's birthday coming up; the twins would be having their first birthday party soon. Sabrina and Patrick couldn't believe that it was almost a year since the twins were born. They tried not to think of the circumstances surrounding their birth even though it was hard not to especially for Sabrina. She and Patrick tried to come up with ideas on what to plan for the twin's party. Patrick suggested that they bring the kids to the city for a weekend of sightseeing and fun for just them as a family and when they came back to Port Charles, they would have a small get-together at their house for the twins and invite the family. Sabrina and Emma agreed and were so excited to be going to the city since they've never been. Patrick had the entire weekend planned and let it be known to Sabrina that he had an early birthday gift surprise for her as well. "Please tell me what it is." Sabrina whined during their drive to New York. "Trust me; this is not a surprise you want me to ruin. You're just going to have to be patient." Patrick stated. Sabrina sighed. "Fine, I'll let it go for now Patrick Drake." Sabrina said. After a couple of hours of driving, they finally reached New York City. Sonny had insisted that they stay at his penthouse and after a long talk of persuasion; they finally took him up on his offer. Sabrina and Patrick got the kids settled before they went out. Emma had a list of places that she wanted to visit while in New York courtesy of Dante. She was beyond excited to be there. Friday and Saturday afternoon was dedicated to the kids. They went to museums, parks, the Empire State Building, the Bronx Zoo, and other historical landmarks. In between they stopped to eat and buy gifts for their loved ones in Port Charles. On their way back home for the evening, a tired Emma begged Sabrina and Patrick to take them to Coney Island before they left. "If we have time, we will go sweetheart." Patrick said to her on the way back to the penthouse. Patrick and Sabrina cleaned up their kids before they laid them down in their rooms for bedtime when they got back to the house. "We have to go to Coney Island before we leave daddy." Emma said tiredly as Patrick tucked her in. He smiled at her. "We'll see Emma. Try and get some sleep now." Sabrina replied as she leaned down and kissed Emma on her forehead. Sabrina and Patrick turned off the light in her room and left. When they were out of the room, Sabrina noticed Patrick gathering his jacket to leave. "Are you going somewhere?" Sabrina asked him. "Uh yea, I have some things I need to take care of for tomorrow." Patrick replied vaguely. "What's going on tomorrow?" Sabrina asked. "You'll see. I'll be back soon." Patrick said hurriedly. He gave her a quick kiss before leaving.
The following day, Sabrina barely saw Patrick. She fell asleep by the time he came back home the previous night and she missed him. When she finally woke up to take care of the kids, she was surprised to see that Mona was there and had begun feeding them their breakfast. "Morning." She said with a smile. "Good morning Mona. When did you get here?" Sabrina asked. "This morning. Dr. Drake asked me to come over to watch the kids." Mona replied. "Did he say anything else?" Sabrina asked her. "Uh no sorry Sabrina." Mona responded. But Sabrina wasn't buying it. She looked over at Emma who had been watching the exchange. "What about you missy? Did your dad tell you anything about this surprise plan of his?" Sabrina asked Emma. "No, I don't know anything about any plans Sabrina." Emma replied with a mischievous look on her face. Sabrina shook her head in disbelief. "Stop badgering us Sabrina, you'll find out soon enough. Why don't you go shower and then come down for some breakfast." Mona suggested. "Are you ok with the twins?" She asked. "Yes, I'm ok. Go ahead." Mona stated. When Sabrina was out of the room, Mona winked at Emma and she smiled back.
When Sabrina finally came back down, she found Emma and the twins watching TV. Mona had the baby gates set up to prevent the twins from getting into any trouble since they were now walking. Sabrina walked over to the island table in the kitchen area and found an envelope with her name on it in Patrick's handwriting. She couldn't help the smile that spread on her face as she carefully pulled out the note he left for her. 'Sabrina, I know you're wondering what's going on and what I have planned but you have to be patient my love. Have some breakfast because you're going to need to keep your strength for what I have planned for today. I'll see you soon. With Love, Patrick.' She read. She looked up and saw Mona looking at her. "Your breakfast is on the stove. Eat up because you're going to need it." Mona stated cryptically. She figured that she should just go along with whatever Patrick had planned. After having her breakfast, Sabrina waited for the next clue from Patrick. She played with her kids up until noon when the doorbell rang. Mona answered the door. Sabrina heard her talking to someone. Suddenly, Mona came back with an envelope in her hands. "It's from Patrick." She simply said. Sabrina grabbed the envelope and quickly pulled out the note and read it. 'Go out and get pampered for our night out. I look forward to seeing you. Patrick.' "Come on Sabrina, let's get moving. The kids will be fine." Mona said as she gathered Sabrina's bag and jacket. She opened the door and ushered her out. "Joe here knows where to go. Have fun and we'll see you later." Mona stated. "O-ok, see you later Mona." Sabrina said. The driver, Joe, was waiting for her. He smiled at her and opened the car door. Sabrina smiled back and got in. She immediately opened her purse and searched for her phone. She dialed Patrick's number and waited for an answer. "Hey Sabrina, are you in the car?" His voice answered on the other line. "Yes I am. Patrick what is going on? This is crazy." Sabrina said. "Wow, I'm not the only one that needs to learn some patience Nurse Santiago." Patrick said causing Sabrina to blush. "Just enjoy yourself babe. I'll see you soon. I love you." He said. Sabrina smiled. "I love you too. Be safe." She replied back. "I will." And then he hung up. Sabrina was taken to a spa salon where she was greeted by the owner. Sabrina noticed that there was no one else in the salon, it was just her. "Hello Ms. Santiago. My name is Inga and we are expecting you." She said. "We?" Sabrina asked. She was led to a large private suite where there were several other people waiting for her. "This is our glam team. Your Dr. Drake wanted the best for his girl. Not that you need it, but we are going to glamourize you for tonight. By the time we're done with you, Dr. Drake won't be able to keep his hands off you." Inga stated with a smile. Sabrina blushed. "By the looks of it, that's already a problem for her." One of the guys from the team said. It caused everyone in the room to chuckle and Sabrina turned even redder. "Don't tease her Paul. We promised Dr. Drake that we would take care of his girl. Come Sabrina." Inga said as she led her to the locker room. "Change out of your clothes and put this robe on so we can get started." She said. Sabrina nodded and did as told. For the next couple of hours, Sabrina was pampered from head to toe. She had the ultimate beauty treatment. When she tried to get information out of the glam team, they would not reveal anything. Instead, they raved about how they wished they had a guy like Patrick who would put time and effort into planning something extravagant for his lady. "He's a keeper honey, you better hold onto him tight." One of the girls named Tasha said to her. "Don't worry; I'm sure Ms. Sabrina will be holding onto Dr. Drake by the end of the night." Paul said as he winked at Sabrina. The girls giggled while Sabrina blushed once again. Before Sabrina knew it, it was 7'o clock in the evening. After receiving massages and a facial, the team did her nails, feet, hair and make-up. As Sabrina looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn't believe that it was her reflection looking back at her. It reminded her of when Felix gave her that make-over for the nurse's ball. Sabrina saw Inga walk into the suite with a big box in her hands through the mirror. She turned around to face her. "You look amazing Sabrina. Patrick might have a heart attack when he sees you." Inga complimented. "Thank you Inga for everything." Sabrina replied. "I didn't do anything. This is all Patrick's vision. My team and I are just happy to be a part of this wonderful evening. This is the last package you'll be getting before you see Patrick. The girls are going to help get you dressed." Inga explained. Sabrina nodded as Inga placed the box on the table. She handed Sabrina an envelope and left the room. 'Although I have enjoyed planning out this day for you, I can't wait to see you and have you in my arms again. See you soon Sabrina. All my love, Patrick.' She read. She placed the note down and reached over to lift the lid of the box. Sabrina gasped when she saw the contents inside the box. It was a beautiful evening gown with matching heels. She immediately wondered if Felix was involved in all of this. Tasha and Aline, two of the girls from the glam team came in to help Sabrina into her gown. When they were done, they marveled at how beautiful she looked and how happy Patrick would be when he saw her. Sabrina was wearing a form fitting one shoulder strap champagne colored satin dress with black lace running diagonally across her mid-section. Her hair was placed in an elegant updo and she wore dangle earrings. Her make-up was light and only enhanced the beauty that was already there. Inga and Paul came in and swooned over her appearance. "You look stunning Sabrina." Inga stated. "Thank you all so much." Sabrina said breathlessly. "Come on, Patrick will be here any minute. Let's get your shoes on." Paul said. They helped her with her shoes and handed her a matching clutch. They walked Sabrina to the front of the Spa salon where there was man waiting in the lobby. She knew that silhouette anywhere. Patrick. She took a deep breath and called out to him. "Patrick." She said softly. Patrick, who stood in a black tie tuxedo, turned around to smile at her but his expression changed as he took in her appearance. He clutched his chest as if to stop his racing heart. His breath was nearly knocked from under him as she stood in front of him. Sabrina and everyone in the room could see the love Patrick had for her in his eyes. "How do I look?" She whispered as she twirled around for him. He reached over for one of her hands to draw her into his arms. "You look beautiful as always. I have been waiting for this moment all day. I missed you so much." He whispered so only she could hear. "I missed you too. Thank you so much for putting all of this together." She whispered back. "You're welcome. Are you ready to go?" He asked her. She nodded. Sabrina turned back around and hugged everyone. "Thank guys for making me feel like a princess. You guys are amazing." Sabrina expressed. "You're welcome honey. Enjoy your night." Inga responded. Sabrina smiled once more before she turned back to Patrick's waiting arms. He opened the door and outside there was a limo waiting for them. He opened the door for her to let her in first and then followed after her. As soon as they were both inside, the limo began to move. Sabrina was all smiles and Patrick couldn't stop looking at her. Her eyes met his. "You did all of this for me?" She asked in awe. "Of course I did. You deserve it and more. I hope that you're enjoying yourself." Patrick said. Sabrina leaned over and held his face between her hands and kissed him. The kiss was short and sweet yet intoxicating. "What do you think?" She whispered against his lips as they stared lovingly at each other. "I don't know, kiss me again and I'll tell you." He said with a smirk. Sabrina saw the lust in his eyes. She leaned over and kissed him again, slowly this time. She wanted to convey how much she loved and appreciated him into the kiss. She felt as Patrick's arms snaked around her waist as they continued kissing. He pulled back knowing that he wouldn't be able to if he didn't. "You look absolutely ravishing Sabrina Santiago but I can't wait to get this off you later." He whispered in a seductive tone of voice. A shiver ran through Sabrina and she felt her cheeks get hot as she took in what Patrick said her. All of a sudden, the limo came to a stop and they were in front of the Four Seasons Hotel. The limo driver stepped out and opened the door for them. Patrick helped Sabrina out of the limo as she looked in awe. "Are we having dinner here?" Sabrina asked him as he led her inside. "Uh Somewhat" He replied back to her. Sabrina held onto to Patrick as he led them to their destination. Sabrina took in how luxurious the hotel was. She noticed that Patrick began to slow down. "Close your eyes." Patrick said to her as they stood in front of a door. Instead of asking why, Sabrina did as told and closed her eyes. She felt Patrick grab her hand again as she followed blindly behind him. "No peeking." He said to her. "I won't I promise." She said. They walked for a little bit further when she felt them stop again and she felt Patrick release her. "Can I open my eyes now Patrick?" She asked. She gasped when she felt his mouth near her ear. "Yes, open your eyes." He whispered. And when she did she saw her friends and family yell "SURPRISE!" Sabrina's eyes filled with tears as she scanned the room. She saw her kids, parents, siblings, and friends. All of them dressed for a black tie event like her and Patrick. They were in the Pool Room of the Four Seasons hotel. There were four pink colored spring trees in each corner of the room and there was a square shaped pool in the center of the room. The dinner tables were adorned with flower petals and were evenly around the pool. The room was dimly lit which gave it an intimate and romantic feeling. Her family and friends gather around her to greet her and Patrick. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked in surprise. "We came to help Patrick put this early birthday celebration together." Lily answered. Mona brought Emma and the twins over who immediately reached for their parents. "I hope you don't mind." Sonny said with one of his dimpled smiles. "Of course I don't mind, this is the best birthday celebration ever!" Sabrina exclaimed. The night was filled with champagne, laughter, light music, and good food. Patrick watched from afar as Sabrina mingled with their family and friends and felt his heart swell with happiness. "I think this is the happiest I've ever seen her." Sonny's voice interrupted his thoughts. He nodded and smiled as they both watched her now. "I just want to say that I know that in the past you and I haven't always seen eye to eye and that's my fault and I apologize for any pain I may have caused you. And I want to tell you thank you for the support you give to Sabrina which allowed her to open her heart to me and for allowing me to be a part of your kids' lives. Family is everything to me and it means a lot that you and I are able to put away our differences for them." Sonny exclaimed. Patrick stuck out his hand which Sonny grasped and shook. "That's all in the past Sonny. Their happiness is all that matters me." Patrick stated. Sonny nodded in agreement.
Sabrina danced with her sleeping son in her arms. She smiled as she watched Felix approach her. "Thanks for picking out the dress. I love it Fe." Sabrina stated knowingly. "Well you know I couldn't have you looking any type of way for your birthday party." He replied. Sabrina scanned the room. "If you're looking for Patrick, he stepped outside for some air. I'll take Samuel to Mona. She's with Emma and Sophie and your mom." Felix said. Sabrina nodded and handed her son to her best friend. She went outside to the patio and saw Patrick overlooking the skyline. She smiled as she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his torso from the back. She felt as he intertwined their hands and he pulled her in front of him. "Thank you so much planning this amazing surprise birthday party with our kids, family, and friends present. This has been the best birthday ever. I love you so much." Sabrina stated. Patrick touched her cheek and stared deeply into her eyes. "Sometimes I look at you and our children and I realize how blessed I truly am…." Tears pooled in Patrick's eyes. "E-especially when I think about how I almost lost all of you." His voice quivering as he revealed his thoughts to her. Sabrina held his face in her hands and kissed him softly. "Shhhh, don't think about that Patrick please. We're all together. We're all happy and safe. Isn't that what you tell me all the time?" She said to him as she wiped away his tears. Patrick nodded. He sighed and he pulled away from her slightly. Sabrina had a look of confusion on her face. "I wasted so much time doing what I thought was the right thing for everyone else even though I knew that I would never be happy without you by my side. I foolishly let you go and then I lost you for six months." Patrick continued as he tried not to break down. Sabrina's eyes filled with tears as she listened to him. "And when you came back to me and our kids…God, I was filled with so much joy and happiness. And in that moment I made a promise to myself and to you that I wouldn't waste any more precious time that we have together." Patrick stated. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a box. Sabrina gasped and the tears flowed freely down her cheeks as she finally realized what Patrick's intentions were. "You are everything to me and more than what I deserve but as long as you and our kids are happy, my world is complete." Patrick got down to one knee, opened the ring box, and reached for Sabrina's left hand. "I love you so much and I don't want to waste any more time not having you as my wife so I ask you, Sabrina Maria Dominica Santiago, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Patrick asked as he looked up at her. Sabrina looked at Patrick and smiled brightly. She shook her head. "Yes, I'll marry you Patrick Drake!" Sabrina exclaimed happily. "Did I hear you right? Did you just say that you would marry me?" Patrick asked. "Yes! I'll marry you!" She replied again. Patrick smiled just as bright and stood up and gathered her into his arms. He pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on Sabrina's ring finger. She looked at her hand and then at Patrick. "I love you." He said again. "I love you too." She replied back. And then he leaned down and sealed their engagement with a kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him while Sabrina wrapped her arms around his neck. They pulled apart and stayed in each other's arms. "I got us a room here while Sonny and Lily agreed to go back with Mona and the kids to the penthouse. I want some alone time with my fiancé before the wedding plans commence." Patrick stated in a husky tone of voice. "You were so sure that I would say yes?" Sabrina asked. Patrick shrugged. "I mean what can I say, I am irresistible." He teased and flinched when Sabrina playfully hit him. He chuckled. "I'm just kidding. I prayed and hoped that you would say yes and you've just made me the happiest man ever." He said. "And you and our family make me happy every day and I can't wait to be your wife." She answered back. "Me too. We should go inside before Felix comes out to hunt us down." He replied. They walked back inside and saw the questioning glances from their family and friends. Patrick looked at Sabrina and she nodded at him. "I just asked Sabrina to marry me and she accepted. We're engaged." Patrick announced. The entire room erupted with cheers. Everyone came over to congratulate them and express their happy wishes to the couple. "I am so happy for you mija." Lily said as she embraced her daughter. "Thank you mom." Sabrina said as they pulled back. "He makes me so happy." Sabrina stated as she watched him talking to her brothers. Sonny came over and hugged his eldest daughter. "Congratulations, I am so happy for you Sabrina. Patrick is a great man and an even greater father. I'm sure he will be a great husband to you." He said to her. "Thanks dad that means a lot coming from you." She replied trying to hold back tears. Sonny tried not to let his emotions get the best of him when he heard her call him 'dad'. It was something he still couldn't get used too. "To Sabrina!" They heard Patrick suddenly say. Everyone had wine glasses in their hands. Her mother handed her one. "To Sabrina, the love of my life and mother to my kids. As we stand here amongst our family and friends, I just want to say that I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you and our family. I know it's early but I want to say Happy Birthday and I love you always. To Sabrina!" He said again as he raised his glass. "To Sabrina!" The room cheered. A cake was wheeled out and everyone sang Happy Birthday. "Make a wish." She heard Patrick whisper in her ear. She smiled at him and blew out the candles. She kissed him on the cheek and whispered back "I already have everything I want."
The party died down at around midnight. As he stated earlier, Patrick had arranged for Sonny and Lily to go back with the kids while they stayed at the hotel. Sabrina giggled as Patrick carried her to their hotel room. "Where's the room key?" She asked. "In my jacket pocket." He replied back. She reached into his pocket and pulled out the card to open the door. She gasped when she saw that the floor and bed was covered in different colored rose petals. There was also champagne on ice waiting by the bedside. "You amaze me Patrick Drake." She stated to him as she looked at him. "I can say the same thing about you." He replied. Sabrina couldn't wait any longer as her lips crashed onto Patrick's. He groaned in pleasure by how impatient she was being. He carefully placed her on the floor and closed the door. Sabrina pulled away from him, both panting in excitement for what was to come. She stared at him as she started pulling out the pins that held her hair in place and suddenly, it all cascaded down her back just the way he liked it. She placed her hands on the inside of his jacket and pulled it off. Her hands made its way to the buttons on Patrick's shirt as she began to remove his clothing. Patrick could no longer take not touching her. His hands sank into the softness of her hair and he placed kisses from her earlobe working his way down. He found the zipper to her dress and unzipped it. Sabrina moaned when Patrick's cool hands splayed on her bare back. Patrick sought Sabrina's lips as he pulled the strap to her dress down her arm. The dress pooled at her feet. Patrick hoisted her up causing her to yelp in surprise. Sabrina wrapped her legs around his waist securely. Patrick favored the position they were in very much. He kissed and sucked at Sabrina's neck and trailed kisses down to the skin above her bra line. Sabrina arched her back as she ran her hands through Patrick's hair, pulling him closer to her chest. He walked them over to the bed all the while kissing and touching her anywhere there was skin. Patrick gently lowered Sabrina onto the bed and she kept her eyes on him as she watched him remove the rest of his clothes. That night Sabrina and Patrick made love to each other multiple times.
The following morning, Sabrina listened as Patrick slept soundly. She moved her hands over his bare chest to gaze upon her engagement ring. She still couldn't believe that he asked her to marry him. "I look forward to waking up like this with you by my side everyday Nurse Santiago until we're old and gray." She heard him say. She looked up to find him staring at her. "I look forward to that as well Dr. Drake." She said. She reached over to kiss him. Patrick responded immediately by wrapping his arms around her. "I love you." He said in between kisses. "I love you too." She replied back.
