I’ve always been weak when it comes to men, and him begging like this is something I always fall for right before I get hurt again. “A baby is a huge step.”
“One we’re gonna master. I know you’re nervous, but we’ll have help at the club, and I’ll be there every step of the way. It’s okay to worry. All mums feel like that.”
“But I didn’t have a mum to learn from.”
“I did, so I’ll help. Raven, you know how to love. You love so hard and fast, it gets you into trouble. When you hold your baby, you’ll feel it, and you’ll love him or her. The rest we’ll figure out.”
“I can’t just forgive you like that. You really hurt me, Mac. We have to take it slow.”
He nods eagerly with hope in his eyes. “Slow, okay.”
“And we keep this between us.”
“Anna already knows. She’ll have told the girls.”
I groan. I’m not sure how I feel about people knowing. Mac takes my hand and gently kisses it. “It’s going to be okay. I promise.” And somehow, I believe him. He’s right—the only place I’ve ever felt at home is at the club with him by my side. He is my home. My place is here with Mac . . . with Mac and our unborn child.
As if sensing my resolve, he leans in and kisses me. I close my eyes and marvel in the feeling of having him with me again. I’ve missed him so damn much, and I’m kidding myself if I thought I’d ever get over him, because he is it for me. My love, my world, and everything in between. I might not turn out to be the most amazing mum, but the thought of raising our child together gives me hope. Hope for our future.
“Slowly,” I repeat, and he nods. It’ll take some work to trust him again, and it won’t be smooth sailing. I’ll need to know everything, every last detail, even if he thinks I won’t like it. Then we can begin to move forward to build our future.
I’ve finally found my place in the world, and it’s never felt more right.
The End.
