Married to My Enemy

I had accepted a residency a couple of hours away from Bradberry and immediately asked Hailey and Noah to join me. She had agreed, after turning down a residency in the South. Labs and focus was more her thing than patients. She ended up applying to multiple labs nears my new hospital and got to take her pick. She was always smarter than I was.

And Noah wasn’t a little boy any more, and I think I honestly was enjoying his coming into his own, more than when he was little. He had a funny sense of humor, and he was always messing around with Hailey and me. He was becoming a really cool kid, and I thought I had a hand in that.

We were out celebrating our graduation at a restaurant in the upper class part of town and the upcoming move with my mom, Hailey’s family and of course, Noah.

The boy gave me a conspiratorial wink and I winked back. He was seven now and growing like a weed.

I got down on one knee and watched Hailey’s eyes widen. She covered her mouth with one hand as they grew damp with tears

“What are you doing?” she asked from behind her hand.

I took her free hand in mine and smiled up at her as I said, “Hailey, I knew we had a rocky start once we reconnected but these past few years have been the best of my life. You have made me the happiest man alive by giving me the best son anyone could ask for and loving me unconditionally. I love you and the life that we are building. I can’t imagine living without you. I don’t want to. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?”

Tears were freely running down her cheeks by the time I was done and she dropped to her knees in front of me and took my face between her hands. She pulled until our mouths met.

“Is that a yes?”

She nodded while laughing around her tears.

“Yes,” she answered but the word came out muffled against my lips.

“She said yes!” Noah announced to the onlookers, most of who promptly laughed and applauded.

“You knew?” Hailey asked.

“Of course. Dad asked my permission,” Noah said, chest puffed up and beaming with pride.

His smile was infectious and I broke out into a grin too.

I turned back to look at Hailey, “I love you.”

She smiled, her eyes sparkling with just the mist of tears. “I love you too.”
