“Hey, handsome.”
“Surprise huh? What is it? Something sexy?”
Standing up, I made my way down the porch steps as I purred back into the phone. “Yep. Very sexy.”
“I’m five minutes from home. Where are you?”
Giggling, I said, “Libby and Luke’s. I’ll leave now. See you at home.”
Hitting End, I turned and saw Libby and Alex both standing there with silly looks on their faces. “Oh for Pete’s sake. The both of you clearly need to get laid.”
Alex shook her head and said, “Well we know who will for sure tonight!”
Giving them a wink, I said, “Hell yeah, I will be. I’m going to head home. Bye y’all.”
“Love you, Grace. Be careful and tell Noah congratulations!” Libby called out.
Happiness bubbled up inside of me, but for some reason, doubt plagued my thoughts. Could this really be happening? I had wanted a baby so badly, but I’d kept it to myself for so long. Then when Noah mentioned it, I didn’t want to be a freak and tell him I’d wanted one since the moment his eyes looked my body over. Now, my dream could very well be coming true. My entire body broke out in goose bumps and I c
ouldn’t wipe the smile from my face if I tried.
Climbing into my car, I took a deep breath in and exhaled it as I calmed my nerves down.
I knew Noah was going to be beyond thrilled.
I’m pregnant.
I’m having Noah’s baby.
The closer I got to home, the more excited I was to tell Noah.
Noah’s hand was on my lower back as he led me into August E’s. It was one of his favorite restaurants in Fredericksburg.
The hostess asked if we were celebrating anything and I had to bit hard on my lip before I busted out and screamed to the world that I was pregnant.
“Nope. Just a night out with my beautiful wife,” Noah said as he slipped his arm around my waist. My heart was beating so hard in my chest I was sure everyone could hear it.
As we sat, the hostess went over the specials as she handed us the menus. Noah and I stared at the menus for a couple of minutes as the waitress came and took our drink orders. Putting his menu down, Noah said, “I know what I’m getting. What about you, baby?”
Baby. He said baby.
Setting my menu down, I smiled and went to tell him what my order was going to be. Except the only thing I heard coming out of my mouth were the words, “I’m pregnant.”
I’m pregnant. Holy hell! I’m pregnant and I totally just blurted it out at Noah.
Making a funny laugh, Noah let out a chuckle and then his face went serious. Pinching my eyebrows together, I shook my head. Way to be romantic, Grace.
Noah shut his eyes, and shook his head quickly. “W-what did you just say, Grace?”
My mouth opened, but nothing came out. My hands began sweating as my heartbeat kicked up about ten notches.
Attempting to speak, I smiled instead. “We’re having a baby,” I whispered.
Noah quickly stood up, came to my side and pulled me into a standing position. “Grace,” he said in the most amazing voice I’d ever heard. His eyes locked onto mine and when I saw the tears, my knees about buckled. If he hadn’t been holding me up, I was almost positive I would have fallen to the ground.
“We’re having a baby?” Noah asked in a stunned voice
Nodding my head, I said, “Yep. I’ve got a bun in the oven.”
