Smile from ear to ear - Chapter 17
Nathan returned to the city, after taking Elizabeth and Jack home. He couldn't contain himself with so much happiness. Sergeant and Newton were sent to the livery, where they were cared for and fed with carrots and food. Upon arriving at the police station, Nathan came face to face with Bill, sitting at his desk with his feet up there. "That man was great, he thought he owned my table." thought Nathan.
— Good morning, Bill! A smiling Nathan was now speaking...
— I think your day started better than mine. And he laughed softly...
— I assure you, Bill... No one had a better morning than mine. I am the happiest man in this world. And smiled from ear to ear.
— Spill Nathan! I am not the father of patience. A frowning Bill grumbled.
—Earlier today I followed Elizabeth and little Jack to her land. We had a picnic, little Jack called me daddy and Elizabeth accepted my marriage proposal. Nathan said everything without even stopping to breathe.
Bill jumped up, throwing the chair away, his smile was huge and in two steps he already had Nathan in his arms. Bill was a tough man, but Nathan today realized that man's huge heart; Bill couldn't be happier to see that couple's happiness.
— Nathan, I couldn't be happier. Seeing you getting along with her and overcoming all the problems makes me believe in love. And seeing Elizabeth happy and fulfilled again was my greatest desire. I could never forgive myself, for not being able to take away that look of pain, that she always had after Jack's death.
— I promise I will make you very happy. I will love those two with all my might. Alien and they are my most precious possessions in this life.
- I'm sure. And when will the wedding be?
— Calm down, Bill! I need your help first. I would like to have dinner with my family today, I need to tell the children before the whole town finds out, the children, they have to know how important they are to us, and besides, I need to put a ring on her hand, I went caught off guard this morning. Nathan said with red cheeks.
Bill knew that man always carried with him, day after day, for almost a year or more, a diamond ring from his grandmother, he never gave up hope of one day making peace with Elizabeth and winning her over, and ever since , he knew she was his soulmate.
That night, Bill closed the cafe and the four of them were able to have a pleasant evening, they already acted like a family, and Bill felt fulfilled like a father seeing his children getting married. Alien, screamed and jumped out of his chair, running to hug his teacher, who would now be his mother. After that conversation it would be earlier, where she and Robert told her everything, and apologized for being responsible, for all the fear she had been through at school, and the most incredible thing, both she and Robert, saw that their teacher forgives them, She talked to them, with a class, with a calmness that was scary. She corrected them, yes, she forgave our mistakes too, but she advised us to be better people and always think about the consequences of our actions.
And now my uncle Nathan, who had been my father since he adopted me, gave me the greatest gift of my life. He gave me a mother. And she wasn't just any mother. It was the mother that her heart, long ago, had chosen.
Little Jack didn't understand things in his three years, but seeing Alien's joy hugging his mother, he also ran and threw it at her.
— You will now be my little brother.
— Brother Alien? the blue eyes seemed lost. But that only made Alien's love grow even more... And smiling, she picked him up and said:
— She will be my mommy and he will be her daddy and little Jack will be Alien's little brother.
- Little brother! Daddy! Jack Junior shouted and smiling he hugged everyone. He might not know everything, but he liked being the little brother.
Nathan got down on one knee and there, in the presence of his children, he remade the marriage proposal, knowing that his Lizbeth deserved everything that was most special.
— Lizbeth, I can't contain myself from so much happiness. Knowing that you allowed me to love you is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me; Of course, having Alien as a daughter and now little Jack was something that I will never have the words to express this emotion. Today with our children, I want to ask you to build a family, all united, together and who knows, we can even make it grow even bigger. I love you, like I never imagined loving anyone; I promise to love you, respect you and protect you and our children. Will you marry me?
Tears ran down Elizabeth's face, that man was her love. She achieved something rare in life. God gave him the honor of having the two best men on the face of the earth.
— I accept, Nathan. What I want most is to be your wife and mother to all our children.
Nathan got up, and putting his grandmother's diamond ring on his finger, he placed both hands on her face and lowered it and gave a small kiss; And to his surprise, he felt her hands around his neck, her hand caressing the back of his neck, and she deepened the kiss... There was nothing or no one at that moment, he lost himself completely in that woman.
Jack laughed and jumped. While Alien looked at Bill, covering his own eyes.
It was a magical night, where everyone went home, daydreaming.
