Chapter 333

"Tell me again how much you love me." Sebastian said, kissing her belly.

"I love you more than all the money Edward stole." She said, smiling.

Sebastian laughed. "You are such an evil woman." Sebastian said. "And I love it."

They had made a little picnic outside, laying on blankets and eating various cheeses and other foods. It's was a beautiful day in Scotland and Dylan was running around with the children, laughing and chasing bubbles that he brought for them to play with.

"Bubbles, who knew? We can donate all of their toys and just give them soap." Sebastian said.

Pearl laughed. "You might be right."

Gail arrived and looked a bit less professional than usual. She was wearing a long floral summer dress and hat. She looked beautiful. They had invited her and Rowan for dinner. Rowan was a big shot now after taking down Edward and these visits were few and far between.

"Gail this is Dylan, one of my dearest friends and band mates." Pearl said.

"Yes. I know who Dylan is. Producer and guitar player. Writer. I was a big fan of Poems for Wolves." Gail said.

Pearl smiled. "I had no idea."

"Nice to meet you, Gail. What do you know about bubbles?" He asked.

"Oh, I am a bubble connoisseur." Gail said, taking the wand from his hand and running over to the kids.

"Gail!" Christian said. He was little but he was good at that, making people feel welcome and remembering who they were. Pearl could already tell that about him.

Dylan and Gail playing with them while Pearl and Bash sat on a blanket in a meadow was just perfect.

"I love our life." Pearl said.

"I often have these moments of worry. I'll be going about my day and then it will hit me. Fear of you, if you are happy. If you still long for more or regret things. Miss others. I think it's only natural as a man to feel these things, but I do. So it makes me happy to hear that." Sebastian said.

She looked up and into his steel grey eyes.

"You don't have to worry about that." She said. "This life, this love is all I ever wanted. I was looking for you, only you. You are the most honest and good man I have ever met." She said.

He looked at her and took her face into his hands.

"I will love you until the end of the world." He said, before leaning in and kissing her.

"We have a big day tomorrow. Our biggest charity ball. Are you excited?" Sebastian asked Pearl as he pulled her into his arms. Their trips to Scotland were never long enough.

"Let's just give it all up and move here." She said.

"That is the plan, my love." He said, kissing her forehead. He ran his hands along her body, racing every curve. "I memorize your body, every line, every peak and valley, like a map. A map so that I will always find my way home." He said.

She looked up at him and smiled. "Your son will be born soon, and I feel like the luckiest woman alive knowing I am the mother to your children." She said. He put his hand on her tummy and smiled. "As do I." He said.

The next morning, they packed up and Tia helped with the babies. "Pearl, what are we going to do with a another?" Tia said breathlessly and smiled.

"They are a handful. Maybe we should hire another nanny to help you, love?" Pearl asked.

"Only if we can trust them completely. I am terrified of these people in this world." Tia said, kissing Isla's cheek.

"Give me my beautiful daughter and kiss me." Sebastian said, grabbing Isla and kissing Pearl.

"Are we ready to go?" He asked.

"Yes, my love." Pearl said. Sebastian's phone rang.

"Yes. Thank you. Of course." He said and hung up.

"What was that all about?" Pearl asked.

He handed Isla back to Tia. "Come." He said, taking Pearl's hand.

"It's Erik. He has been working on an appeal and plea agreement. They have granted a him a new review and trial. They are releasing him on bond until an agreement can be made or a new trial happens." He said, looking into Pearl's eyes.

"When?" She asked.

"Tomorrow." He said.
