“Right. That’s exactly what I said.”
I collected the trophies in my arms.
“You want me to move here? Now in the middle of this scandal?”
I slammed the trunk and walked back inside. “Are you going to have my baby?”
“Yes.” She smiled.

Her hands flew to her hips and I laughed when the sheet fell. She tried to catch it a few seconds too late. I didn’t know what she thought she was going to protest, but I appreciated she thought it was worth a try.

She folded me into her arms. “Ok. I can be bad a little while longer.”
“That’s what I wanted to hear.”

I heard my alarm. I rolled over to turn it off, careful not to wake Alexa. She wasn’t getting much sleep lately.
She faced me, her eyes fluttered open. “Good morning.”
“Sorry. I was trying to sneak out and not wake you.”
“It’s ok.” She tugged on my hand, drawing it to her belly. “I’m not the only one awake.” She grinned, biting her bottom lip.
