“I want to spend the rest of my life holding you in my arms like this,” he says after our heart rates slow.
I snuggle in deeper against his chest.
“I’ve never wanted anything more,” I confess.
I know we have a million and one things to talk about. We have so many things to get off our chests, but I know there’s nothing he can say about the past that will change the trajectory of our future.
I press a kiss to his chest and relish the way his fingers tangle in my hair.
“Do you think our son will have your red hair?”
“You’re making a lot of assumptions. I’m hoping we have twin boys.”
He takes in a deep breath before speaking. “I thought Donnie was going to rip my head off.”
“I did too. You weren’t the only one holding their breath when he approached. How do you think he’s going to react when you tell him I’m pregnant?”
He freezes under me. “Do we tell them the truth, about the sperm donor part I mean?”
I press my palms to his chest so I can look down at him. “It’s a unique story, don’t you think?”
“It is,” he quickly agrees. “But I don’t know if it’s one we’re going to want to relay over and over.”
“We don’t have to make that decision right now,” I tell him, climbing over his body and situating myself exactly where I need him for round two of many.
Chapter 41
Cash
“What’s going on?” I hear Adalynn ask from her mom’s front door.
“We’re here for dinner.” That’s Madison’s voice. As many times as I shared a meal with these people, Madison hasn’t been here for one since right after they graduated high school.
“I don’t like surprises,” Adalynn says, but Madison just chuckles.
Chase is right behind her when they round the corner into the living room. I shake his hand, giving him a cordial greeting. We’re here to tell her family about us being together and about the baby. Donnie and Ronnie already know about the relationship, but not the baby. Their grace and acceptance may tip in the other direction when they find out their unmarried sister is pregnant.
Adalynn spoke with me about it at length last night. She also told me about the promise Madison made to her to not let her back out when she got cold feet, which happened that day she went to the clinic for her fertilization. It almost didn’t happen. She was afraid when I found out that I’d be livid. Even though she was doing it for herself and not me, I was on her mind.
I let my eyes follow her across the room, my cock threatening to stiffen at the slight hitch in her step. We’ve been incapable of keeping our hands off each other, and I’ve already scoped out her childhood bedroom to see if there’s a chance to sneak up there with her at some point in the evening.
Before she can make her way across the room, Donnie walks into the living room.
“Dad needs you for something,” he tells Adalynn, never halting his stride in my direction.
He looks over his shoulder, watching my girl leave the room in search of her dad before leaning in really close to me.
“Listen, I know exactly how feral I’d be watching my pregnant woman, but you need to keep that shit in check right now. That’s my little sister you’re eye fucking.”
Before I can ask him how he knows, he claps me on my back hard enough to almost make me fall on my face before walking away.
Fifteen minutes later, we’re sitting down to a meal, a little more crammed at the table than usual with the addition of two more people. Adalynn is trembling with nerves beside me. We had a game plan. This is her family, so she felt as if she should be the one to tell them, but with the way she’s about to vibrate out of her chair, I get the feeling she’s getting cold feet.
“It’s always great to see you, Madison,” Robin says, but there’s a hint of confusion in her voice.
It doesn’t surprise me that Madison is here, and when she raises her eyebrows at Adalynn, I know this is just one more facet of that promise of support.
Adalynn shakes her head softly, earning a small smile from her friend.
