God, I love this family so much.
"Christ," John growls, taking in the car.
"John Princeton, it may be your birthday, but that doesn't give you the right to take the Lord's name in vain."
"Mom, it's fucking amazing," John says and each one of his brother's take a step backward.
"He never learns," Lance comments and I laugh.
Glancing over at Markus who has the biggest smile on his face. He’s been a strong presence in my life, never interfering but always offering me comfort. Always supportive of not only all of his children, but also of me. He’s one of the board members for Maine Foundation.
"You are never too old for me to tan your hide," Sharon warns him. "How about thanking Reli?"
John walks over to me and lifts me into the air. "Fucking love you, baby girl."
I wrap my arms around his neck and hold on, "I love you too. Like it?"
"Love it. I don't know how you got it or how much you spent, but I'm not going to ask."
I smile. "Good."
"You're amazing."
I roll my eyes. "I learned that from you."
"Enough with the lovey dovey sh..." Cohen yells and Sharon coughs. “Crap; can we take a look at this beauty?"
"I am," John says and my heart melts.
“Go," I tell him, pressing a kiss against his lips.
"I'll thank you properly later," he promises me, setting me down on my feet.
The party is winding down; everyone is still here but they're all sitting on the couches. Everyone is having a good time but I've been anxious all day, I've tried to forget about it but I can't. My cell's timer beeps making me jump. My hands shake as I reach for the test.
I smile as I look at it. John is going to be over the moon with the news. I know that he's been wanting this, he's told me he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. It's exactly the way I feel. He is my savior but he's also the man I love.
Walking out of the bathroom, I see John sitting on the bed, he's waiting for me. "Did you take it?" he asks softly.
I frown. "Take what?"
He tilts his head and smirks. "The test, Reli. I saw it this morning. I've been waiting for you to take it all day."
I smile; I should have known. There's no way I can keep anything from him, he's like a bloodhound; finds everything. "Yes, I did."
"Baby girl, you're killing me here."
"We're having a baby."
His eyes widen and I watch as he sucks in a sharp breath. "We are?"
I nod. "Yes we are."
"Fuck yes! I love you, baby girl; you've made this the best birthday ever," he tells me, standing up from the bed.
I smile. "Good, although it means I have to up my game in the future."
He pulls me into his arms. "Not really, just be knocked up every birthday."
