CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
“Yes.”
Ryan’s world stopped turning for a moment. Camille was pregnant.
I’m going to be a father.
“Wow. Um.” A laugh escaped him. “A baby. That’s fantastic.”
A matter of minutes ago this was a possibility, but now it was real. He and Camille were having a baby.
And suddenly his entire existence made sense.
Ryan brushed his hand over Camille’s cheek. Her skin was no longer pale and sweaty. “Every time I look at you, everything in this world just clicks. I love you, Camille.”
“You love me?” whispered Camille.
He was surprised at the wonder in her voice. How could she not have thought he felt that way about her?
“And I’m not just saying it now because of the baby. I’ve been in love with you for some time, but I…” Ryan slowly shook his head. “I was afraid to say it. To be honest, I didn’t know if you wanted to hear those words.”
“Why wouldn’t I want to hear you say you love me?” said Camille. It tore at him to hear the break in her voice. As if she was the one wracked with self-doubt, not him.
“Because we come from very different worlds. I’m just not sure if I will ever be enough.”
She met his gaze, and he swallowed a lump of emotion at seeing the tears which glistened in her eyes. “I love you too, Ryan. I want you to know, that you are more than enough for me.”
Her gaze dropped to the space between them. “But me being pregnant is a big thing. Life changing. I’ll understand if you are having second thoughts about…”
He silenced her foolish thoughts with a long lingering kiss.
