I was in the kitchen, taking my pre-natal vitamin, when I heard Adalynn’s voice.
“Where is she?” she asked Ian.
“It’s great to see you too, Adalynn,” Ian spoke in an irritated tone.
“I’ll deal with you later. I need to see Rory.”
She walked into the kitchen and immediately hugged me. “How are you?” she asked as she cupped my face in her hands.
“I’m good. How was your honeymoon? I want to hear all about it.”
“We can talk about that another time. Wow, look at you. You’re already starting to show,” she said with a twisted face.
I smiled at her as Ian walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. “We’re having twins,” I said.
Adalynn’s jaw dropped and Ian chuckled. “What?! Oh my God! Two babies. I’m so happy for you, Rory!”
“Excuse me! What about me?” Ian said.
“I’m still pissed at you. You couldn’t deal with one baby and now you’re happy there’s two?” she asked.
“Yes, Adalynn. I’m very happy, and I saw my babies on the ultrasound at the hospital. You should’ve seen them. They were tiny humans and they were next to each other. I heard their heartbeats. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen.”
“Wow, look at you, Braxton, getting all choked up over your kids. Is he treating you good?” she asked me.
“Yes, he’s perfect.” I smiled.
“Okay, then. Come here, you big idiot,” Adalynn said as she held out her arms to Ian.
They hugged and Adalynn congratulated him. It was great to see that they were good again.
“I’m going to let the two of you visit. I need to run to the office for a bit. Adalynn, will you keep an eye on her for me?”
“I sure will. By the way, how’s my company? You didn’t let it go under while I was gone, did you?” she asked hesitantly.
“Prim is doing great. Nothing came up that I couldn’t handle. In fact, we need to have a meeting. I want to run a few things by you that I believe will put Prim at the top.” He winked.
She smiled at him as he left the kitchen. “So, it took him to see the babies to finally realize what an ass he was being?”
“Yeah. You should’ve seen him when he got home from the hospital. He broke down the minute we walked through the door.”
“What do you mean, he broke down?” she asked with concern.
“He fell to his knees and started sobbing and apologizing to me. It broke my heart to see him like that.”
“Wait…wait…wait. You’re telling me that Ian Braxton fell to his knees sobbing? Our Ian?”
I laughed lightly as I answered her. “Yes, our Ian did that. And then he carried me upstairs and broke down again in the hallway. God, Adalynn, he was so emotional and broken. He was begging me for forgiveness. He went on about being scared and ruining our children’s lives.”
“At least he came to his senses. I knew he would at some point, but I’m still sorry you had to be put through the ringer with him to begin with.”
We talked for a couple of more hours and then Ian came home. Adalynn kissed us both goodbye and headed out the door. It was good to have her and Daniel back in Malibu.
Chapter 36
Ian
A couple of more weeks had passed and it was time to tell our families that Rory was pregnant. First thing first, Rory and I had a phone call to make.
“Ian, my friend, how are you?” Connor answered.
“I’m great, Connor. Rory and I have some news we’d like to share with you and Ellery. Is she there with you?”
“Yep, she’s right here. I’ll put you on speaker.”
“Hi, Ian. Hi, Rory,” Ellery spoke.
“Hi,” we both said at the same time.
“So what’s this news? I’m assuming it’s good?” Connor said.
“Rory’s pregnant and we’re having twins.”
Ellery screeched in the background. “That’s wonderful news, Ian. Congratulations, Rory,” Connor said.
“Tell Rory I’m calling her right now!” Ellery said with excitement.
Rory smiled at me and left the study to get her phone. Connor took me off speaker and we continued to talk.
“Congratulations, Ian. That’s exciting. We have our hands full with Julia. I can’t imagine two at the same time.”
“I was shocked at first, but it’s going to be great. Another reason I called was to talk to Ellery and see if she’d be interested in painting a portrait for the nursery, one for each baby.”
“Ah, she would love that. I’ll talk to her and let know you’ll be giving her a call.”
“Thanks, Connor. I appreciate it.”
Connor and I ended our call and I went into the living room where Rory was finishing up her conversation with Ellery. I sat down next to her and put my arm around her.
“I was thinking about the nursery,” I said.
“You were?”
“Yes and I think we should knock out the wall between both guest rooms and make it one huge nursery.”
“But what about when we have guests over?”
“We can add on. In fact, I was thinking about building a small house in the back. That way, when we have guest stay with us, they can have their own place.”
She smiled at me with a devilish grin. “That’s a good idea. Then you’ll have a place to go when I kick you out after a fight.”
“I knew that was the first thing you’d think of.” I chuckled.
She leaned over and kissed me. “I love the idea.”
“Good, because I already called my contractor and went over the plans. It’s going to be perfect. Just you wait and see.” I smiled. “Now, I need to make love to you, so let’s go upstairs. As much as I want to pick you up and carry you, sweetheart, I’m afraid that’s not going to work anymore until after you give birth.”
“Is that so? Are you saying I’m too fat to carry now?” She smiled playfully at me.
“No, but you have put on a lot of weight and you’re getting really heavy. But in a good way. Please don’t be mad at me.”
“I’m not and I know it’s getting harder.”
“Speaking of harder,” I said as I took her hand and placed it on my hard cock. “We need to get up to the bedroom now!”
Rory didn’t hesitate as she got up, grabbed my hand, and led us upstairs.
