Angel Underneath

39. I Do

Zoe POV

Standing in front of the officiant with my mum, Dolph and Mack looking on I shouldn't believe that this was all happening, that this amazing man had done all of this becuase he loves me. He begins to speak but im too busy looking into Damian's eyes to really focus on what he's saying.

"Alright Damian I believe you wrote your own vows" he says getting my attention, now that I heard.

"Yeah" he says nervously taking a piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolding it " Zoe I knew that first day you walked into my locker room and out me in my place that there was something special about you, and I felt myself falling then and there. Until I found you I had no idea how dark my world had become, but you shone a light so bright that you lit up my entire world. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that this beautiful woman standing before me would ever love me the way you do and I'm thankful everyday to have that love. I'm also thankful for the beautiful baby boy you have given me. You have made me happier than I ever thought I would be and you helped me remember who I am really am and showed me that being a good man doesn't make me weak. I promise to love you with every breath in my body for the rest of our lives, you and Mack are my world and I promise to always be the best husband and father I can be"

I wipe my eyes as he refolds the paper and puts it away before taking hold of my hands once again, I notice that he too is tearing up and I give him a soft smile which he instantly returns.

"Ok Zoe do you have anything you'd like to say?" He asks and I nod

"Damian thank you for allowing me to see behind the facade that you had put up allowing me to fall in love with the man behind it. With every minute I spent with you, every gentle touch, every kiss I fell deeper and deeper. I saw the beauty in your darkness and I wanted to be a part of your world. In giving birth to our son I learned something about myself that terrified me but you were a tower of strength, you stayed by my side even when I tried to push you away. You see the beauty in my scars and you and Mack have given me a reason to fight, to be healthy. I promise that I will love you always and that I will be the best mother I can be to our Son and any future children we have, I love you D"

Although Damian had been smiling the whole time I spoke I had notice something change in his eyes when I mentioned future children, maybe he doesn't want any more and I'd be fine with that, he and Mack would be more than enough for me.

We exchange rings and the officiant declares us man and wife, Damian steps forward closing the gap between us and kisses me that exact same way he did the very first time he kissed me, softy with his lips barely touching mine.

"I love you" he whispers "thank you for marrying me"

"I love you too" I smile "and thank you for doing all this"

We walk back up the aisle together with Dolph clapping and my mom smiling with Mack in her arms and right in this moment I don't think I could be any happier.

"What you said about future children" he says "mi amor I don't think we should have any more, I don't want to risk losing you"

"The doctor said I would need to be careful that's all" I say cupping  his cheek "I want to have more children with you, but if you don't then I'm OK with that"

"I do want more I'm just terrified something will happen to you" he says

"Let's talk to my doctor, get all the information, find out all the risks and then make a decision" I say "don't rule it out just yet please"

"Alright" he smiles "now let's enjoy the rest of our wedding day"

"Thank you" I smile, he leans down and kisses me softly once more, I understood his fear, I felt it too but I didn't want to let this stop me from living my life as normally as possible and that included expanding our family.
