Chapter 74

Ashley's POV:

His arms are around my waist, his hands are resting on my stomach and his head lays on my shoulder. My heart is racing almost out of my chest. I later notice that I'm holding my hands on his. He puts one hand on top of mine.

"I want you back. That's all I want. I want you and Deniz nothing else. Please give me a chance." He says into my ear and I can feel the goosebumps I get. I can't say anything. I want him too and I want to become a family. He made a big mistake but now I know he did it to save me. 

All I do is nod. I'm just speechless and my voice would crack because I'm almost crying. He noticed my nodding and turns me around. He's holding my face now and looks deeply into my eyes. When I see his eyes becoming glassy I can't hold my tears back. This time it's the tears of happiness.

Hudson's POV:

"She gives me another chance," I tell Kerem and Defne that couldn't wait to hear it. They high five each other happily and Defne hugs me. When she lets go of me again she looks like something happened.

"What about the proposal?" She asks and remembers me. Is it maybe early? I'm afraid she says no.

"I'm not sure..."

"What do you mean by your not sure, Hudson?" Kerem asks unhappily.

"I don't want to make a big proposal for nothing. What am I going to do if she says no?" I overthink it.

"She never stopped loving you, Hudson." Kerem says.

"Umm... And have you forgot that she has a child with you?? Of course, she's saying yes!" Defne adds and we all chuckle.

"Ok... What's the plan?" I ask and Defne gets all excited. Even Kerem starts smiling and remembers me to tell Meredith about it so she can help.

My phone rings and I realize the sun blending me on my bed. When I look at the time it's 10 a.m. Then I try to see the name on my phone. Amar. I jump up after reading it and rub my eyes to be sure what I just saw. Why is Amar calling me? I get nervous and he continues ringing. I decide to pick the phone up.

"Hello, Amar." I immediately say. He's silent.

"Hello, Hudson." He breaks the silence after a minute.

"How... Are you-"

"I know you met Asli and Deniz. Samir told me." He interrupts me. From where does Samir even know? Wait... Ashley told him for sure.

"Yes, that's right. And I'm very sorry about it. I told Ashley the truth-"

"What do you want to do now? Explain? Don't you think it's too late?" He snaps again. I knew this would come one day but I didn't expect it so early. And I'm not talking about the time.

"I know it's too late. And I apologized. But I want to make things clear now. I want to propose to Ashley. If you want or not I'm going to do that. But this time I hope you won't come in between and choose for her. We have now a child together so the perspective is different from 5 years ago. So thank you, Amar." I finally say what I wanted.

"I don't know and I don't care what happened. I just don't want her to be broken again." He says.

"I promise. She won't be hurt anymore." I say and he says nothing more than a goodbye.

Ashley's POV:

In the morning Hudson kind of looked mad. But not at me. He saw me all alone in the kitchen, hugged me from behind, kissed my neck, and left the kitchen.

Meredith begged me to go out again and Defne wants to come with us. I don't know why but I agreed and Kerem said that he's going out with Hudson and Deniz.

When we had a nice shopping day all together we go to the Piccadilly Circus. While we walk we see many people with red roses in their hands. First, we don't know where they got them but then I notice Kerem with a bunch of roses in his hands.

Mere with and Defne giggle and move away from me. What is happening? I don't know what to do but stand and look shocked.

"Anne!" Deniz yells from behind and I immediately turn around.

I see her in a beautiful red dress that I've never seen on her before. And then I realize Hudson behind her. She walks towards me and grabs my hand. Deniz pulls me towards Hudson and at least she gives my hand in his. I'm still confused. He smiles and kneels in front of me. Deniz gets a small red box out and gives it to Hudson. He opens it and a diamond ring I looked at some hours ago in the Swarovski shop is in it. Oh my God.

"Anne, will you marry Dad?" Deniz asks me excited.

I almost can't breathe.
