"Cookie, you’re pregnant. You were tired. You knew the three of us were there taking care of things. You would never fall asleep if you were there alone with them." I keep climbing. Dani’s light enough to carry, even while pregnant, but damn, I have to admit there are times when I agree with Nathan on the exorbitant number of stairs we have in this house.
Dani groans and drops her head back onto my shoulder. "I’m tired with two kids for just a few hours. And I had three people helping! I don’t know how Marissa does it all the time. I don’t know if I’m cut out for this."
I squeeze her tighter. "You are very cut out for this, Dani. You’re going to be great. We’re going to be great."
I know it’s normal for an expectant mother to start to worry, but I will do everything in my power to assure Dani that she’s going to be amazing. I’ve loved seeing her with our friends’ kids. She’s a natural. She’s the most loving person I’ve ever met. She was meant to be a mom. My children—our children—will understand unconditional love from day one. It makes my heart swell. And other parts of my body swell.
I’m not as feral as Nathan is about Dani’s pregnant body, but I’ll admit there is something about her growing belly and seeing her mothering instincts kick in, that causes a very primal reaction in me.
"You have three very capable, very willing partners," I remind her. "You have nothing to worry about. Ever." I stop beside the bed and lay her down gently. I brace my hand on the mattress next to her. "We’ve always got your back. And this child will never want for anything." I brush the hair back from her face. "In fact, I am certain our child will wish for less attention at times."
She smiles up at me and lifts her hand to run it over my jaw. "That’s another good reason for us to have several. Spread out all of the attention and intensity in this house."
I want that so fucking much, she has no idea. I would have a family of twelve with her and the guys.
I lean over and kiss her deeply, pouring my emotions into it. When I lift my head, I pin her with a direct gaze. "I cannot wait to raise a family with you."
"Are you coming to bed with me?" she asks, skating her hand down my neck, over my shoulder and down my arm.
"Do you want someone in bed with you to fall asleep?"
There’s more to do downstairs, but I know the guys are on top of it. I’m happy to cuddle our girl to sleep.
"Definitely," she says, sliding over to make room for me next to her.
The other side is Nathan’s, of course.
I sometimes wonder, and grin, what Nathan‘s reaction will be when there’s a toddler coming in during the night because of a nightmare and wanting to snuggle between Nathan and Dani.
Nathan doesn’t like anything between him and Dani but I have a feeling that our little boy or girl will be an exception.
That makes my chest tighten. As much as I cannot wait to see Danielle as a mother, I’m also excited to see Nathan and Crew grow into fatherhood.
I know that we are very lucky to be in this position, the four of us doing this together.
"Okay, sit up," I tell her, tugging her into a sitting position so I can slip her dress off. She wears these long, loose dresses around the house now that her pants are getting a little tighter. She looks adorable with her rounding stomach in her fitting leggings and long shirts, but she says she likes the flow of the dresses.
Since the no-panties-at-home rule still applies, pregnant or not, she’s naked as soon as I whisk the light flowery print over her head.
She lays back on the pillow, her hand resting on her stomach in what I think is a subconscious, protective pose.
I pull my shirt off and slip out of shoes, socks, and pants so that I’m down to only my boxers when I climb into bed next to her. She immediately turns to her side and tucks herself against me, her butt nestled against my pelvis. She pulls one of my arms over her and snuggles in against my chest, her head under my chin.
I love the feel of her in my arms. I love being able to bury my nose in her hair and inhale her scent. I love feeling her slowly drift off to sleep, her soft breath against my skin.
But we lay quietly for just a few minutes before her hand starts stroking over my arm and she wiggles her ass against my cock.
I’m not fully hard. I didn’t come to bed with any expectations. But my girl's soft warm body is up against me so I’m not entirely relaxed either.
"Lay still," I tell her softly.
She takes my hand and lifts it until I’m cupping one of her breasts.
"Dani," I say low, warning.
"What?" She asks. "You don’t want to?"
She knows very well I want to. I always want to. I will never, ever get tired of making love to this woman.
