The beginning of forever

15 - Have me tonight

Becky delicately cupped Freen's face, her eyes glowing with affection. "Baby, if you ever feel weak, let me be your strength. You don't have to carry the weight alone; you can lean on me, my love. I am your wife, and you are mine. Together, we'll face every challenge."

Freen's emotions overflowed, and she couldn't help but smile. Tenderly, she tucked a strand of Becky's hair behind her ear, savoring the warmth of the moment.

In a soft, heartfelt gesture, Freen leaned in and gently captured her wife's lips in a lingering kiss. It was a silent exchange of love, a reassurance that in their shared vulnerability, they found strength in each other's embrace. The quiet music of the night played witness to the depth of their connection, a melody composed by two hearts entwined in a dance of affection and understanding.

Freen's emotions surged, and a tender smile graced her lips. Lovingly, she tucked a stray strand of Becky's hair behind her ear, savoring the warmth of the intimate moment. In a soft, heartfelt gesture, Freen leaned in, gently capturing her wife's lips in a lingering kiss—a silent exchange of love, a testament to the strength they found in each other's vulnerability. The quiet melody of the night bore witness to the profound connection shared between two hearts, entwined in a dance of affection and understanding.

As they parted, Freen continued to caress Becky's lips, her eyes reflecting the depth of her emotions. With a soft smile, she declared, "I love you so much, babe."

"I love you too, babe," Becky responded, her fingers tenderly caressing Freen's cheeks. "Now, let's get you to sleep. Tomorrow's escapade for Zea will surely tire us out. You know how excited our daughter is." The promise of the adventures ahead lingered in the air, wrapped in the comfort of their shared love.

Freen chuckled softly, still basking in the warmth of their shared affection. "You're right," she agreed, "Zea's excitement is infectious. I can't wait to see her face light up tomorrow."

Becky nodded, her eyes filled with love. "It's going to be a day filled with joy and laughter. Let's get you some rest so we can make the most of it."

Together, they rose from the couch, hands intertwined, and made their way to the bedroom. The soft glow of night enveloped them as they prepared for a peaceful slumber. Freen, still carrying the residue of vulnerability from her nightmares, found solace in the assurance of Becky's presence.

As they settled into bed, Freen looked into Becky's eyes, gratitude shining in her gaze. "Thank you for being my strength tonight, and always," she whispered.

Becky smiled, brushing a gentle kiss on Freen's forehead. "Anytime, my love."

Wrapped in each other's arms, they drifted into a peaceful sleep, anticipating the adventures and joy that awaited them in the new day. The night, now a canvas of dreams, cradled their love in its gentle embrace.

In less than a month, Freen, with the unwavering support of her loved ones, orchestrated astute decisions that catapulted Chankimha Industries back to a vibrant success. It felt like an early birthday gift, a testament to her resilience and the strength of the bonds that surrounded her as she entered her birth month.

After delivering her speech at the celebratory party, marking Chankimha Industries' triumphant return to its top rank, Freen found herself surrounded by her brother and Richie.

"Congratulations, Sister," Saint exclaimed, delivering a hearty pat on Freen's shoulder.

"You did fantastic, Freen," her brother-in-law added, clinking his champagne glass with hers.

"Thank you, brothers. I owe you two big time," Freen expressed her gratitude.

Richie shook her head, a warm smile on his face. "You don't owe me anything, Freen. You are my sister's wife, so you are family. Just continue to love her and my adorable niece, and that's enough for me."
