“Do I need to leave?” she asked.
“Of course not,” Bella said. “I overreacted, call it the hormones.”
“Hormones?” Rebecca asked. Her eyes went wide, and she was out of her chair. “Oh my God, you’re pregnant?”
“Yes. I’m pregnant.”
He took a seat, and winked at Alaric. Watching Bella and Rebecca as they cooed over her stomach felt right. He couldn’t have handled either of them not getting along, especially as he would have been the cause.
“You do know that you’ve gone from best friend to stepmom,” Bella said.
Rebecca wrinkled her nose. “I know how naughty you’ve been. Can a stepmom punish stepchildren?”
Alaric burst out laughing.
“Two can play this game, honey,” Rebecca said.

Later that night, Jackson was finishing up a report, waiting for Rebecca to come to bed. She entered the bedroom, drying her hair. They were at his place. He paused in reading the report as he watched her. She wrapped her hair in the towel, and stood in front of the dresser, rubbing some moisturizer on her face.
“Today went really well,” she said.
“I know. I was worried for a second though. I didn’t want Bella to be upset with either of us. Did Alaric say anything to you?”
He had noticed around his home that there were parts of Rebecca’s things mixed with his. The closet now held some of her clothes along with his. The dresser had her lotions and creams along with his own. There were some foods that she loved, and he noticed there was a constant jar of peanut butter ready with a spoon. She loved to take the jar and eat spoonfuls of the stuff. He hated it, but she couldn’t get enough of it. He found it utterly adorable, watching her.
“He told me not to worry that Bella wouldn’t stay angry for long. I can’t believe she is pregnant. She’s going to make an awesome mom. You know that, don’t you?”
“Of course. I’m going to be a granddad. When the hell did that happen?”
She giggled, removing the towel from her hair, and then brushing her hair. She left the bedroom to put the towel in the laundry basket. It was a refreshing change to have a woman who believed in picking up her dirty washing. She also put the cap on the toothbrush, and cleaned out the sink.
The only problem he saw with Rebecca was her obsession with peanut butter. It wasn’t normal.
“Your first shipment of supplies comes in tomorrow,” Jackson said.
Rebecca nodded. “Yes. I’ve got a lot to plan. Storage, and stuff. Oh, Oliver has asked if he could have a job. It would seem the new chef at Rebecca’s is not cutting it. He’s butting into other people’s business, and the name is about to be changed as well.”
“You don’t regret leaving?” he asked.
She shook her head. “Are you kidding? I love it. It has been a couple of days, and I’m feeling a million times better. I can make whatever I want. To spite my parents, I’ve even put two varieties of spaghetti and meatballs on the menu. A spicy version, and a kid-friendly version. I love this freedom that I’ve gotten.” She pressed a kiss to him. She picked up his report, and placed it on the bed. “And it’s all because of you.”
Rebecca straddled his waist, wrapping her arms around his neck.
“I wanted to give you everything you ever wanted,” he said in between kisses.
“You did that and more.” She moaned, biting his lip. “I love you, Jackson Reed. So much.”
Running his hands up her back, he grabbed her ass and pulled her close to him.
His cock was so hard, and he wanted inside her.
“I’m ready, Jackson,” she said.
“What are you ready for?”
“I’m ready for you to take my ass.”
