Laughing, I kiss her again as I fist pump the air. “Yes, I fucking knew you were gonna be all horny and shit with this pregnancy.”
When we get back home, I walk straight into the kitchen, sticking the pictures of our jelly bean baby up on the fridge. Tess walks up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist as she rests her chin on my shoulder.
“So does this mean we get to talk about names now?” I ask, glancing down at her.
She laughs, her eyes on the pictures. “Maybe, yeah,” she says. “But remember, we do have a long wait to get through.”
I turn so I’m facing her, my arms wrapping around her shoulders. “Yeah, I know, but we have a shitload of stuff we gotta get through too,” I tell her.
Tess raises a brow, smiling up at me as she asks, “Oh yeah, like what?”
I take a deep breath, letting it out slowly as I mentally go through the list in my head. “Okay, so we have names to figure out, which is probably…hopefully,” I add with a wink, “gonna involve some kind of sex bargain thing as we trade-off favorites. Then we have to do the nursery, I’m thinking we do the junk room up for the baby. I’m gonna build the crib too and we should get some other furniture and shit, whatever you need. Then we’ve got to talk parenting and schedules and what’s gonna happen with work. You have a lot coming up at Somerville’s and I’m totally supportive of your career, babe, so if you need me to be the house husband, I’m all for it. Speaking of husbands,” I add, taking a hand from her ass and sliding it into my pocket, my heartbeat kicking up a notch at what I’m about to do next. Pulling out the ring I’ve been holding onto for the better part of the last two weeks, I hold it up between us. “I’m all for getting married before or after this baby, whatever you want. But, Tessa, I fucking love you so much, babe. I want this and everything with you. Will you marry me?”
Tess bursts out laughing, even as she starts to cry, her hands moving to cover her face as she shakes her head a little.
“Okay, is that shake like a no or…?”
“Yes, no, I mean yes, it’s a yes!” she shouts, pulling her hands from her face. “Oh my god, Dylan, yes I’ll marry you!”
Grinning, I lean in to press a hard kiss to her mouth. “Good answer, baby,” I murmur, before sliding the ring onto her finger.
Tess is still laughing as she holds her hand up in front of her face, admiring the diamond solitaire I bought. “Wow,” she breathes out.
I kiss her temple, wrapping my arms around her as I ask, “Do you like it?”
She giggles, still holding her hand out. “I love it, Dylan, seriously,” she says. “But my wow was…”
“What?” I ask, confused.
Laughing, she looks up at me. “Never, ever, in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the hot guy who picked me up at the gym for a couple of hook ups would turn out to be you, the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Grinning, I give her a quick kiss before I pick her up and sling her over my shoulder. Slapping her on the ass, I bite her thigh as I say, “Fuck yeah I am, and it’s about to get even better, baby,” I say, as I turn and walk us out of the kitchen and down the hall toward our bedroom.
Tessa is still laughing as I put her down on the bed, her hair sprawled out around her and looking totally gorgeous. “Is that so?” she asks.
I reach behind and pull my t-shirt over my head, throwing it on the floor. “Fuck yes, baby. I’m pretty sure I mentioned something about licking that pleasure button of yours.”
She lets out a sexy giggle. “You might have also mentioned sex,” she adds, smirking.
I undo the button and zipper of my jeans, shoving them down my legs before I lift a knee onto the bed. “Oh, there will also be sex, don’t you worry about that.”
Tessa’s hands move to her stomach. “Even with the jelly bean baby inside me.”
“Babe!” I say, a finger up in warning. “Don’t make it fucking weird, okay?”
She bursts out laughing, lifting a hand as she crooks a finger, beckoning me closer. “Come here, you,” she whispers, smiling as I crawl over her, my arms bracketing her face as I gently lower my body onto hers. “I love you,” she says, hands sliding up my back.
“I love you too,” I whisper, giving her a soft kiss. “And I’m so fucking glad I picked your hot ass up at the gym all those months ago.”
Tess smiles. “Yeah, and I’m kinda glad I ghosted you and then took that job at Somerville’s.”
I kiss her again, deeper this time. “Me too, baby. Me too.”
