Stripping Callum (Last Hangman MC Book 6)(88)
Callum
I still can’t believe I’m going to be a father again. Although I have Elijah and had Billy, having a baby with Bella is what I need for my life to be complete. Oddly enough, I hope we’ll have a girl. Although that’d mean countless sleepless nights when she is at the age of partying.
Bella is in the kitchen, getting dinner ready, and Elijah is still in school. The logic would be that I take her on the table and f*ck her into next week because we still haven’t had time, but I have better plans.
“What are you plotting?” she asks me as she sees me staring at her.
“Come here for a minute.” I chuckle.
“I’m busy, can’t it wait?” She’s cutting up veggies to add to whatever she’s making.
“No, it’s sort of important.”
“If you have in mind that you’re going to have your way with me, you’re out of luck. I have to finish dinner, and Elijah will be home soon.”
“I know, just come here.”
“Alright,” she groans and joins me, wiping her hands on a dish towel. “What’s up?”
“Things haven’t always been peachy between us or around us. We both have been through enough to last a couple of lifetimes, but we’re finally happy. I know I am. Having you, Elijah, and Squiddy in my life has shown me that love can trump everything. I never saw myself to be a family man. I’m glad you showed me I could be and wanted more than what I thought life could offer me.” I get down to one knee holding her hand.” Annabella, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” She nods, unable to talk through her tears. I think she squeals at one point, but it’s muffled by the tears as I slip the ring on her finger.
Getting up, she wraps her arms around my neck, and I pick her up. She kisses me hard holding onto me for dear life.
I did get my way after that, and Nancy and Bennett watched Elijah for the night so that we could celebrate again.
It might have taken Bella three weeks to come back to me, but we have a lifetime of happiness in front of us. As I was starting to lose hope of ever seeing her and Elijah again, she proved me wrong and came back into my life. Things have been perfect between us. Minus the part that we can have sex whenever we want, but I knew it the minute I found out she had a kid. It doesn’t bother me. The happiness and joy of having Elijah in my life is well worth the occasional blue balls. And it’s not going to get any better with Squiddy. I still can’t believe she’s pregnant!
It wasn’t expected at all as we, well, I was just starting to talk about having a baby, but I guess it was meant to be.
Life can surprise you in a lot of different ways.
After what happened to Alina and Billy, I never wanted to be in a relationship again. I felt cursed, not only in love but with my life in general. I didn’t want to bring any drama in other people’s lives, but my friends and family stuck with me and showed me that it was okay to care and to trust again, as long as you trust the right people.
I’ve met some of the best people anyone could ever ask for in their lives, and I’m thankful and grateful that they are still in my life now. People come and go but the ones that stick with you through rough times are there for good. If they so happen to leave, it’s because they join our lost loved ones wherever you go after you die.
The day I first met Ant, I knew my life would change forever. I just didn’t know how yet. Being a part of the MC and of this family has shown me that good people still exist out there.
When I first met Bella, I never thought we’d end up together. I only thought we’d f*ck a few times and go our separate ways, but it turned out to be so much more. I thought she’d send me away because I’m almost double her age, but she didn’t and still doesn’t care.
She and Elijah brighten my life every day. From when I wake up next to her in the morning to when I fall asleep with her in my arms at night. I now know what the others felt like and what they were talking about, sounding like women. I get it now and I’ve been suffering their vengeance since she’s been back, but it’s been worth it and it’s all in good fun. It’s brought us closer together, too. I don’t want to just walk away when they talk about the little things.
As happy as I was that they were happy, the real reason I was walking away wasn’t because it was annoying me to hear them talk like that, it was because I was jealous that they were experiencing that and I wasn’t.
When you grow up without any love, you don’t know how to react when it hits you in the face, and you sometimes do stupid things. I’ve done my fair share of stupid things, and I’m done with it now. I know I’m bound to f*ck up at some point, but I’m hoping that Bella will be able to forgive me. I’m not good with my words, and she knows it. She’s always been understanding, even when she should have just left me for good.
No matter how shit your life is at one point, there’s always a turning point that will bring you the happiness you really deserve.
The End.
I have so many people to be grateful to have in my life and to work with since I first started this journey with the Last Hangman.
It’s been two years since the first book came out and I can’t believe how much this series has changed my life and it’s all thanks to the amazing people working with me on the book and to you, the readers who have made this series so special to me.
