"I can't believe you did all of this for me, Justin. You're beyond amazing," Victoria rolled onto her side and rested her palm on my chest, only to trace the tattoos there with the point of her nail. It was such a calming gesture and I've gotta say that I really liked it.

"You deserve everything and more Victoria. I can't wait to give you the world."

"Don't get ahead of yourself now," she giggled and it made me smile. "But seriously, thank you for everything."

"You know you don't ever need to thank me."

"You're always telling me that, but I'll always thank you. You do the most for me when you don't even have to," her eyes started to get watery. "Why is that?"

I smiled even bigger if that was possible. I finally realized why I was so invested in her, or why I could never get her out of my head, "Because I love you, Victoria."

The tears literally spilled out and before I knew it, she was on top of me with her face nuzzled against my neck. "You don't understand," she sucked in a breath. "how-how long I've been waiting for you to say that."

My hands came up to her back and I held her to my chest, "I'm sorry I didn't say it when you did. I just didn't feel like it was right since I wasn't sure of it. You've made me realize that I loved you all along. I've done everything with you in mind because I care so much about you and I love you, girl," I let out a light chuckle.

"Justin," she sniffled while lifting her head and bringing her face in front of mine. "I'm so happy, you really don't even understand."

I wiped away the tears that coated her cheeks, "I'm happy that you're happy, baby."

"I am more than happy! I love you, you love me. We're a happy family," she sang before letting out a laugh. Her laugh was my favorite. "Oh my God."

"What?"

"I have to tell Sofia," she grinned widely. "She said she had an inkling that you were going to confess your love for me sometime soon."

"Well," I smiled back, letting my hands drop to her naked hips. "I guess I should tell Xavier and Ryan that they were right."

"Wow, everyone was telling you and you just wanted to be in denial," she joked while poking at my stomach.

"Listen," I rolled my eyes. "I wanted to be sure because this is all still new to me, you know that!"

"I know I know! I'm just messing with you, baby."

"You just like to hurt my feelings," I faked a pout.

"Oh, papi. You know it's all out of love," she came down and pressed her lips to mine. "Besides, I always make sure you go to sleep happy." Her hands wandered down to my happy trail.

"Hey, hey, hey. You need to stop that."

"What, is my little man still tired from last night?" she asked in a baby voice.

"Little man," I scoffed. "No, but I don't want someone to come knocking on the door and thinking a woman is dying."
