The Sheikh's Fierce Fiancée (Sheikhs of Al-Dashalid 3) - Page 41

“Yes?”

“Marry me for love, would you?”

“I will,” said Mackenzie. “Of course I will. I love you.”

Then she leaned in to kiss him again, long and deep, the best new beginning she could hope for.

Epilogue

“Happy birthday, dear Issam, happy birthday to you!”

Issam stood in the center of a gathering of all his family and blew out the candles on a completely American birthday cake. Mackenzie’s cheer when they were out was the loudest of all. He looked up from the cake and drank in the sight of her in her wedding dress. She saw the look in his eyes and pulled him in for a kiss, right there in front of everyone.

It was his birthday, it was their wedding day, and everything was perfect.

Kyril was the first to step forward, clapping a hand on Issam’s shoulder. “Congratulations, brother.” He turned and kissed Mackenzie on the cheeks. “I don’t know whether I should congratulate you or warn you—you’re officially part of the family now.”

“Oh, no!” Mackenzie joked, and Kyril laughed.

“I hope you won’t be angry if I add to the celebration.”

“What?” Issam cut in. “Are you getting re-married?”

Hannah stepped in beside Kyril, eyes shining. “No, he literally meant that we want to add to the celebration.”

Issam stared at her blankly.

“I’m pregnant!” she cried, and then Kyril gathered her up in a hug that telegraphed all his joy. He was practically bursting with it.

“On my wedding day?” Issam groused, but then he shook his brother’s hand and laughed.

“What’s this?” said Rami, joining the little clutch of siblings with his wife Catelyn and their adorable baby daughter Maya. The jet-setting trio were only in Al-Dashalid for a few weeks, and they were making the most of it. “More celebrating?”

“Kyril can’t keep his hands off Hannah,” Issam told them.

“Well, we knew that,” said Catelyn, and then she caught Hannah’s glance and understood. “Oh! Oh, congratulations!”

Hannah hugged her, then stepped back. “You two will have to visit more. Especially if—you know.”

“Especially if what? Is it twins?”

Hannah shook her head with a horrified look. “No, no. I meant…if Issam and Mackenzie—”

Mackenzie screeched with laughter. “We’ve been married five minutes!”

“I’m only saying,” Kyril said, “it’s possible to get a head start. We’re already on three—so you all have some catching up to do.”

All of them laughed, and it was their laughter that drew Daya and Zafir to the table in the middle of the wedding crowd. Daya had tears in her eyes.

“It’s just so wonderful,” she said, and at that moment Adira spun herself out of the crowd.

“Mama, why are you crying? It’s a wedding!”

Daya wiped at her eyes. “Because all of you are so happy and successful.”

“Oh, thanks,” said Adira.

“Don’t pretend like you haven’t been swooning over that young man,” Daya scolded. “Kyril, keep an eye on her while we’re gone.”
