thing in the world. My Katy smiling down at me.
    She wiped a tear away. “My rodeo man came back to me,” she whispered. “I missed you.”
    “How long have I been asleep,” I asked.
    “Just a couple hours,” she answered. “The doc said all you got was a broken arm. You, sir, were a lucky man.”
    “I am with you,” I whispered. “Katy I need to tell you something.”
    She shook her head. “It doesn’t matter now,” she said. “You’re here with me. That’s what matters.”
    “It matters Katy,” I argued. “You needed something from me and I was too scared to give it to you.” I reached up and stroked her cheek. “I love you Katy. I always have. I was just scared. I never thought a girl like you would want me.”
    “A girl like me,” she asked.
    “You always seemed so sure,” I explained. “So mature, but I wasn’t. I know I put a good front on, but with you, it all went out the window. You were so beautiful and I was stupid. I should have told you that night in the barn. You don’t know how hard I fought not taking you then. I wanted to tell you the other night when you gave me a precious piece of yourself; and again, I was afraid.”
    “Uh, son,” I heard dad say, “I don’t think now is the time to talk about that. Not with Katy’s dad right here.”
    I froze. “Shit,” I mumbled and everyone laughed including her father. “Sorry about that sir.”
    “Maybe we should leave,” her father said, “I think they need the privacy if he plans to make an honest woman out of my baby.”
    I looked deep into her eyes. “I plan to do just that,” I said, “With your permission sir.”
    “Son you’ve had it since you both were kids,” he said.
    “Thank you sir,” I said never taking my eyes away from her beautiful face. I waited until I heard the door close. “Katy if I weren’t lying in a hospital bed I would be down on one knee.” I took her hand in mine. “I love you Katy. Will you be my forever? Will you marry me?”
    Her tears were spilling down her face as she shook her head. “Yes Dean,” she answered. “I love you too.”
    I smiled, feeling my own tears. “Kiss me please,” I whispered. She leaned down as I cupped the back of her head and brought her lips to mine.
    Katy was all I ever wanted. I will tell her everyday how much I love her. She was my forever. She was my home.

Epilogue
    W e married just a few months later. It was a beautiful wedding. I had my forever, my home. I loved Dean with all my heart.
    It’s our wedding night and I have a very special gift for him. “Dean,” I started.
    He walked up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist as he kissed my neck. “What is it sweetheart,” he asked.
    I turned in his arms, wrapping mine around his neck. “I have a gift for you,” I said and his brows shot up. “We’re going to have a baby.”
    His mouth dropped open. “A baby,” he stuttered. I nodded and laughed. “How…”
    I laughed even harder. “If I have to explain that to you,” I said, “We have big problems.”
    He shook his head and smiled shyly. “Funny,” he said laughing. “How far along are you?”
    “A couple months,” I answered. “Are you happy?”
    He picked me up smiling and spun me around. “Are you crazy,” he joked, “Of course I’m happy.” He stopped spinning me and grew serious. “I love you Katy, forever.”
    I cupped his face. “I love you too Dean,” I whispered, “Forever.” Then I claimed his mouth.
    I was so happy. I had finally roped his heart.
