Nick
“Are you seriously that freaked out about a baby being born? You handled it with Hunter. And you’re going to have to do it again soon.” Leigh smiles at me as she drops her hand to her rounded stomach. I place mine over the top of hers, straightening her wedding ring out as I do.
“I know, Señorita. And I can handle anything for you. Doesn’t mean I wasn’t nauseous while it was happening. I was just so in awe of you pulling Hunter out I didn’t care.”
Resting her head against my shoulder, she whispers. “What do you think we’re going to have?”
We decided not to find out the sex of the baby this time. We have plenty of boy clothes and Maia still has all of Harper’s old stuff, so it’s not like we need anything new, anyway.
“I don’t know. It would be fun to have a girl—one of each.”
“And here I thought you wanted to fill our house with kids.”
I kiss the spot just under her ear and whisper, “Oh, I do. But you have to want that too.”
“Well, we definitely have the room.”
We moved into our custom-built four-bedroom, three-bath home with an unfinished walk-out basement three months ago. Eventually, we’ll finish the basement when we have a better idea of what we’ll want out of it.
“I would be happy with either, though I have the boy mom thing down.”
“And I think Harper loves being the only girl,” I say. Harper has loved doting on her baby brother, Jax and Jenna’s son, Carson. And she and Hunter have been best buds since they were kids.
“Who knows? Jenna’s second might be a girl. She doesn’t find out until next month.”
Apparently, pregnancy comes in threes. Jenna is currently pregnant with her and Brett’s second child.
“True. Either way, I’m excited, and I’ll be excited even in the delivery room. Having a family with you has always been the best thing in my life.”
“Nick,” she complains, then lowers her voice. “Don’t talk like that here. Hospital bathrooms are gross and I don’t want to have sex in one.”
I flash her my most charming smile, then whisper all the naughty things I’m going to do to her in her ear.
She lets out a cranky little grumble but squeezes her legs together, showing the effect I have on her.
I laugh inwardly.
Some things never change.
