Big Tex (31 page)

Just as Sierra opened her mouth to answer, the phone started ringing.  Micah put his hand on her arm to stop her from answering.  When the machine clicked on, they heard Maggie's voice and Sierra swiped the phone up.  "Maggie, is everything ok?"

"Yes, I just wanted to let you and Micah know that Willow and Brody had the babies tonight.  Two very healthy and beautiful boys.  I think they're asleep for the night, but we're going back up in the morning bringing breakfast, and we thought you and Micah might want to come too, around 9:00?"  Maggie informed Sierra.

"Sounds great, we'll be there.  Thanks for calling Maggie."  Sierra said and hung up the phone.  She turned to Micah who was still kneeling on the floor with the ring box open.  "Willow and Brody had the babies tonight, we're meeting them all at the hospital tomorrow at 9:00 for breakfast."  Sierra told him.  She got up and tried to walk to the kitchen, but Micah grabbed her leg and clung to it.  Sierra started laughing when she looked down at his boyish smile.

"I haven't gotten my answer yet, and you're not leaving until I get one."  Micah told her.

"Well, I just thought I'd go get some champagne so we could celebrate."  Sierra said.

"Does that mean what I think it means?"  Micah asked.

"No, it means that I will marry you.  Now give me the damn ring so I can go get the champagne!"  Sierra said, laughing.

"Yes ma'am!"  Micah said as he stood up and slipped the ring on Sierra's finger.  He looked into her eyes just before he pulled her in for a long awaited kiss.  "Oh man, I've been waiting so long to do that!"  He smiled softly.  "I love you so much, please don't ever doubt that."

"I love you too.  I'm sorry for acting so stupid and comparing our relationship to everyone else's.  I love what we have together, I guess I just needed someone to point it out to me."  Sierra said, tears starting to roll down her face.  "I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too.  Now, how about that champagne?  I know the perfect spot to drink it!"  Micah said as he grabbed the champagne glasses out of the cupboard.  He grabbed Sierra's hand after she got the champagne and led her up to the bedroom.

"You're right, this is the perfect spot.  Now, let's start celebrating!"  Sierra said, her voice full of lust, her eyes full of love.

The next morning, Sierra and Micah headed to the hospital earlier than they had planned on meeting Brody's family.  They had been up all night celebrating their engagement, so they headed to the hospital early so they could come back and get some sleep after visiting with everyone and sharing their good news.

When they walked into Willow's room, both Brody and Willow were holding babies, feeding them with bottles.  Willow looked up and smiled.  "Hey guys, come on in."

Sierra walked over to Willow and gave her a light hug, in order to not disturb the baby.  "Ah, he's so cute!"

"Thanks.  This is Justin William, Brody had Michael Brian."  Willow told her.

"You look great for just giving birth to two babies."  Micah said as he leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"Thanks.  You and Sierra seem to be glowing yourselves.  Any reason why?"  Willow asked.

"Wow, this woman is unreal!"  Micah said to Brody.

"Tell me about it."  Brody sent a smile over in his wife's direction.  "What's up though?"  Brody asked.

"Well, last night Micah asked me to marry him, and I said yes."  Sierra exclaimed.  She showed Willow the ring on her finger as she beamed.

"It's about damn time!"  Willow yelled.  Justin got startled and started crying.  "Oh, I'm so sorry sweetie!  Mommy didn't mean to scare you."  Willow said as she rocked the baby back and forth.  He slowly calmed down and began sucking on his bottle again.  "Ooops, I guess I need to get used to having a baby around.  Congratulations though."

Brody laughed.  "So, when's the wedding?"

"Well, we were thinking about the end of May, about another month or so.  We want to go down to the Gulf of Mexico and get married on the beach down there.  Just something small, with a Justice of the Peace or something."  Sierra said.

"Sounds romantic."  Willow told her, glad that her friends finally saw the love that they shared.  "So, you want to hold one?"  Willow asked Sierra, offering her a baby to hold.

Sierra took Justin out of Willow's arms, and cradled him against her body.  "He is so small and cuddly!"

"You know, he didn't feel so small coming out!"  Willow joked.

"You guys are all naturals.  Even you Sierra.  You look so comfortable holding the babies."  Micah said.

"Well, I may look like a natural, but I'm sure not ready for this."  Sierra told Micah, and Micah gave a sigh of relief.

Maggie came in with Brian and Brighton, all of them carrying bags of food.  "How are my grandbabies today?"  Maggie asked.

"I see how it is, you don't care about me and Willow anymore!"  Brody said pouting.  He handed Mikey over to his mother when she put the food down.  "Thanks for breakfast though."  He sat on the edge of Willow's bed and put his arm around his wife, feeding her a bagel.

Everyone talked happily, passing the babies around.  Willow and Brody cuddled on her bed watching their family.  "So, you regret coming to Texas last year?"  Brody asked her softly.

"Not a single regret in the world.  I didn't think I could ever be this happy.  I love you so much and I love our babies.  You've given me so much over the past year and a half, and I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to me.  You're the best husband in the world!"  Willow said.

Brody hugged her closer.  "Thank you for coming into my life.  I was so lost without you."  His kissed her softly and held her tight.  He looked around at the people in the room, thankful for each and every one of them.  His mind drifted to thoughts of Lauren, and silently thanked her for bringing Willow into his life.  He knew she was watching over them, and always would be their guardian angel.
