“I don’t want you to get rid of the baby.”
She sighed. “Seriously, after everything, you think it might even be an option for me?”
“It’s your body. Primarily, it is going to be your decision.” Road stared right back at her, willing her to understand how he felt.
“I don’t want to get rid of this baby, Road. I really don’t. I’m scared. I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Road got to his feet and spun around so he wasn’t staring at her through a mirror, but looking her in the eye. “I want to take care of you, Dinah. I want to love you. I want to be with you and the baby. I know I fucked up big time, and I promise you, I will never do anything like that again. I will go out of my way to make your life as easy as it can be.”
“I love you,” Dinah said, and he saw the tears filling her eyes. “I love you and I’m scared.”
“Don’t be.” He couldn’t help but feel relieved. “I love you, Dinah. I fucking worship you. I will not fuck up like this again.”
“I know you can’t take back what happened, but I’ve been so miserable these past few months. You’re the only person I’ve wanted to come and talk to. I don’t want to hate you anymore.”
“Marry me,” he said.
Dinah laughed. “You can’t be serious.”
“I am. I know what I want and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Marry me. I love you, Dinah, and one day, I might be able to earn your forgiveness for the mess I made—”
“Stop,” she said. “I know what you did, but we can’t keep moving forward by thinking you’re the same person you were back then. I’ve seen what Sergey is like, and I know you must have thought something bad had happened. I’m not trying to excuse you, I don’t think it’s worth us trying to find some path that makes it acceptable. You didn’t do it. You were following orders, and you had no reason to doubt Sergey at the time. I know my mom, and it’s crazy to even think it, but I believe she would have wanted me to forgive you.”
Road felt the tears coming to his eyes. He didn’t knowwhat it was about this woman, but the words she said and the feelings she evoked had turned him into a man. She’d made him see that everything he’d been before was a total lie.
“Marry me, and I’m not saying that because you’re pregnant, or I’m not just saying that because you are pregnant. Ugh, that didn’t make any sense, but I’m asking you because I love you. I love you more than anything in the world. You’re everything to me, and I vow to you, I will never hurt you. I will never give you a reason to doubt my love, and you and this baby will be so loved.”
“See,” Dinah said. “How can I hate you when you make me feel this way?” And with that, she cupped his cheeks and pulled him in close.
Road wasn’t sure who kissed who, but having his woman in his arms was a dream come true.
“I love you,” he said.
She chuckled. “I love you too.” She pulled back just a little. “We’re going to be parents.”
“I know, shit, how are you feeling?” he asked.
He reached down to touch her stomach and then pulled back. “May I?” he asked.
She laughed.
“Of course.” Dinah captured his wrist and drew it closer toward her, until she finally rested it on her stomach.
He felt the slight swelling of her stomach. Road had already noticed the fullness of her tits, but he hadn’t wanted to say anything, and figured it was the clothes she wore that enhanced her glorious tits. He wanted to touch them, cup them, feel them. Instead, he slid his hands around her waist, going to her ass and pulling her in close.
Sergey Golubev had nearly taken everything away from him for a second time. He was never going to allow that son of a bitch to know a moment’s rest.
He’d made an enemy out of him the moment he turned his back on him, but now he was determined to be his nightmare. For the sake of his woman and his child. Dinah wanted to put their past behind them, but he knew he had a long way to go before he truly made amends. In the back of his mind, he knew there was no way he’d be able to make up for his part in what was done to Angela Evans. However, if there was indeed a Heaven or Hell, he sent a message up to her that he would take care of her daughter where he’d failed her. He would never fail his woman, his wife, his love, ever again.

Six Months Later
“I don’t like it,” Road said, staring down at his beautiful baby girl.
Dinah chuckled. “Will you stop worrying?”
Road glanced across at Faith, Brute, and Jonah, while he held his little Angelica.
