“Really?” My breath hitched. “You mean that?”

He gave me a small smile, cupping my cheek. “Gigi, I’m in—”

“Sorry to interrupt.”

I jumped, my head whipping around.

The doctor laughed. “Didn’t mean to startle you.”

Vince pulled away from me. “I’ll be outside.” And with that, he left the room.

The air around me suddenly grew cold. I wasn’t sure what that was about.

“I just wanted to prescribe you something to settle your stomach. This isn’t harmful to the baby but please only take it if you can’t keep anything down for more than twenty-four hours. That includes water.”

I nodded, taking the prescription from her. “Thank you, Doctor.”

“You’re welcome.” She walked me out. “Anything you need, please don’t hesitate to call.” She handed me a business card. “But I have a feeling that it’ll work out fine for both of you.” She turned on her heel and headed down the hall, barking orders at her staff.

“Queenie.”

I spun around, finding Vince coming toward me holding a yellow Teddy Bear.

“I got yellow just in case we wait to find out the sex. Although, even if it’s a boy, he can like pink all he wants, and our little girl can like blue.” Vince shrugged. “They can like whatever color they want.”

I took a breath and then another. Yes, the doctor was right. We could do this. And Vince was the only one I wanted to do this with.

(Vince)

Gigi was pregnant. With my baby.

I meant what I’d told her. I was in this. For the long run. For however long she could put up with my brooding and possessive ass anyway.

“Vince?” Gigi hugged the Teddy Bear against her chest, looking up at me with those big beautiful eyes of hers. “Thank you.”

Pinching her chin, I placed a soft peck on her mouth. “You don’t need to thank me. Ever.” I stepped back, holding out my hand. “Come home with me.”

Something flashed behind her eyes. “Okay. Can we stop off at my place first?”

“We can do whatever you want.” I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that she was pregnant. Every male instinct in me wanted to shout it from the fucking rooftops that my baby was in her tight little body. But I wouldn’t. I would in time but not until Gigi gave me the go-ahead.

When we reached my car, she went to pull her hand from mine, but I refused and tugged her back against me.

She gasped, slapping her hands against my chest. “Vince?”

“Listen.” I cupped the side of her neck, wanting to tell her that I was in love with her. No, that I was fucking obsessed. With her. I almost did earlier and then the doctor interrupted us. “Whatever you need, I am here. I already told you before. If you need something to take the edge off, you fucking call me. Alright?”

Gigi frowned, her eyes darting back and forth over my face. “I’m not sure the sex you like would be good for the baby.”

I grinned, leaning down to her ear. “You mean, the sex we both like, Gigi. My girl has a dark side to her. Isn’t that right?” I kissed her cheek, mentally patting myself on the back at the shiver that trembled through her.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She pulled away from me, only because I let her, and went to open the passenger side door. I stopped her instead, slapping my hand against the top of it and stepping up behind her.

“I’ll remember that the next time I’m balls deep inside your ass.” I pressed my lips to her ear. “When you’re begging me to go harder, faster,rougher.” I growled the last word, pushing my hips into her.

“God, Vince.” She shook herself.
