I also have several things to ask of you before you agree to go in there with me.\" \"What sort of things?\" \"I would like you to give me daughters with your hair and your spirit,\" he said, beginning to enumerate his reasons and requests. \"I would like my sons to have your eyes and your courage. Now, if that's not what you want, then give me any combination you like, and I will humbly thank you for giving me any child we make.\" Happiness began to spread through Sheridan until it was so intense she ached from it. \"I want to change your name,\" he said with a tender smile, \"so there's no doubt who you are ever again, or who you belong to.\" He slid his hands up and down her arms, looking directly into her eyes. \"I want the right to share your bed tonight and every night from this day onward. I want to make you moan in my arms again, and I want to wake up wrapped in yours.\" He shifted his hands and cradled her cheeks, his thumbs brushing away two tears at the edges of her shimmering eyes. \"Last of all, I want to hear you say 'I love you' every day of my life.
