Austin looked at me with concern. “Is it dangerous to throw up so much?”
“I could get dehydrated, but I’m drinking as much fluid as I can.”
“Was this a problem when you were last pregnant?”
“Yes. I couldn’t wait for my first trimester to be over.”
“Did you feel better after it was?”
I looked down at the floor. “I didn’t make it past. I lost almond before it was over, so I don’t know.”
He knitted his eyebrows together. “Should we worry about you losing this pregnancy?”
“The doctor will keep an eye on me, and I’m to report anything that doesn’t feel right. I’ll be fine. Kat told me she almost died after she gave birth to Zachary.”
Austin nodded. “Yes, she had a urinary tract infection that got worse. I want you to be careful.”
“She gave birth when she was my age or near it. I can always speak to her.”
“She likes you. Both she and Gavin say you’re good for me.”
“I am good for you,” I chuckled.
He put his hand on my belly and rubbed it softly. “I can’t wait to see this little guy.”
“How do you know it’s a boy?”
“I just do. I can tell.”
“Well, don’t be disappointed when you get a daughter.”
“I would never. Anything that’s part of you is a gift.”
“As long as the baby isn’t as stubborn as its father, I’m happy.”
Austin chuckled. “Me? Look who’s talking. My wife…” he stopped talking and stared at me. “You’re my wife.”
“You just figured that out?”
“It sounds so good to say it. You’re my wife.”
He looked at the thick gold band on his ring finger and pulled up my hand to look at the diamond encrusted one on mine. “We’re married.”
“Austin, it took this long to sink in?”
“I just didn’t say it out loud before now. You’re my wife, and we’re married.”
“And I’m exhausted. I need to go to bed.”
“I’m sorry, but this is our wedding night. I can’t let you do that.”
“I don’t think you have a choice because the minute my head hits the pillow, I’ll be asleep.”
“Then I’ll need to make love to you in positions that don’t require your head to be on a pillow.”
I turned, and Austin scooped me up in his arms to take me to the bedroom. There he took his time making love to me, and I didn’t fall asleep the minute my head hit the pillow, he made sure of it. I woke the next morning in a state of bliss as my husband nuzzled my ear, which turned into another hour of lovemaking.
