Seal It With A Kiss (McClellan Trilogy) Read Free

or daughter. We both depend on you. I love you so much—I knew that this type of love existed because I saw it with both my parents and yours, but I just figured it took years to develop not the short time that we have spent together.” Brooke leaned over Luke and kissed him. “I am going to let your parents come in to see you now—they are very worried about you, but I will be just outside in the waiting area. I am not leaving this hospital without you. You are stuck with me buster!”
    On her way out of ICU, Brooke stopped a nurse and asked about Luke’s ring. “I will check for you—I am sure that they have a bag of personal effects from when they brought him into the ER.”
    “I will be in the family waiting area for when you do.”
    Ten days later
    “Just help me walk out of here—I am tired of being in this hospital.”
    “No! You will wait for the nurses’ aid to bring in a wheelchair—its hospital policy.” Brooke pointed out.
    “I can walk out just fine on my own.”
    “Aren’t you being a cranky patient?”
    “That’s just it—I am discharged. I’m no longer a patient and I want to leave.”
    “You had better lose this attitude because I had planned on spoiling you rotten once I got you home, but now I am thinking that I don’t have to!”
    “Spoiling me? What did you have in mind?” Luke asked as he took Brooke’s hand and pulled her towards him.
    “Hey! None of that—you need to recuperate.”
    “I am sure that I read on the doctor’s orders that sex was encouraged for my recovery.” He said winking at her.
    “Now that’s the Luke I remember!”
    “Mr. McClellan, I am here to take you downstairs so that your family can take you home. Now if you will just have a seat in the wheelchair, we will get going.”
    “Saved by the chair!” Brooke said with a grin.
    After another week had passed, Luke announced to Brooke that he wanted to take a drive. “Where do you want to go? I will drive us.” She offered.
    “No, I am released from the doctor and I will drive. Let’s go!”
    “Where are we headed, anywhere in particular?”
    “It’s a surprise, and yes.”
    Brooke raised her eyebrows in question, but climbed into the truck. After they drove for twenty minutes, Luke pulled into a driveway. “Where are we Luke?”
    “We are home.”
    “What did you say?”
    “I said we are home. This is my wedding present to you. What do you think?” He asked.
    Stunned, Brooke opened the truck door and got out. She looked at the house and then back to Luke—it’s perfect.”
    Luke picked her up and carried her into the house.
    “Welcome home Mrs. McClellan.”
    Once inside the house, Luke began to give Brooke a tour. She was shocked to see that he had moved everything from her storage unit into the house. “When did you have time to do all of this?”
    “Let’s just say with you at your parent’s house the week before we got married, I couldn’t sleep and I drove my brothers crazy until they agreed to help me.”
    After he showed her the master bedroom on the lower level, he led her upstairs to show her the other rooms. Brooke paused in each bedroom before finally saying “I think this room would be perfect for a nursery, don’t you?”
    “Well, sure I guess you can pick any of these rooms for a nursery when the time comes.” He responded.
    “Do you think we can get it ready in 5 months?” She asked smiling.
    Luke froze looking at Brooke. “What did you say?”
    “Nothing, I guess I was talking out loud. I was wondering if we could get a nursery ready in as little as five months is all.” This time snickering.
    “You’re, you’re pregnant?” He stammered.
    “No, we are. You and me—we.”
    “I thought I dreamt that you were, but I didn’t want to say anything.” He said as he dropped to his knees and kissed her belly rubbing a hand over it. “We’re going to have a baby! How long have you known? How did you keep this a secret?”
    “I found out the week before we
