Ethan rubbed a hand over my belly and grinned. “Are you ready for this?”

“Are you?” I countered.

Sliding his arm around my shoulders, he winked at me. “You know it. So, what are you going to say when asked how we got together?”

I chuckled. “I’m going to tell them the truth. That it was a hot one-night stand that changed my life forever.”

His brows lifted. “Seriously?”

“Yep. The world’s going to be talking about us anyway. Might as well make it memorable.”

Was I really going to say that? No, but it would be funny to see the looks on everyone’s faces.

The limo pulled up to the red-carpet entrance, where hundreds of people were lined up, screaming and hollering with cameras flashing left and right. Security was standing by, and one of them walked toward the limo and grabbed the door handle.

Ethan took my hand and kissed me. “Here we go, Mrs. Jameson.”

I loved hearing him say my new name. “Here we go,” I whispered back.

The door opened and Ethan stepped out first, gently pulling me with him. There were so many people it was overwhelming but also exciting. The second everyone saw my condition was when the questions were fired off. We stopped at the first round of cameras and Ethan slid his arm around my waist while I placed my left hand over my belly, showing off my wedding rings.

The lights flashed all around us, and I smiled.

Roger Stanfield was one of the most widely known Hollywood reporters in the business, and he waved us over. “Peyton, darling. It’s so nice to see you after everything that’s happened. Are you doing okay? We were all worried about you.”

“Hi Roger,” I said sweetly. “It was a rough time there for a while, but we’re doing much better. Thank you for asking.”

Roger’s gaze shifted to my stomach. “If you don’t mind my asking, it looks like you’re carrying some special cargo there.”

I looked up at Ethan and smiled. “That would be correct,” I said, focusing back on Roger. “Ethan and I are expecting twins in August.” The crowd around us cheered and I laughed.

Roger then turned to Ethan. “You are one lucky man, Mr. Jameson.”

Ethan chuckled. “That I am.”

“Will you still be fighting in the circuit?” Roger asked.

Ethan winked down at me. “As long as my wife lets me.”

Roger gasped. “Well, hot damn, the news just gets even better. Congratulations, you two.”

While Roger turned to the camera, I focused on Ethan. “I will never get tired of hearing you call me your wife.”

Leaning down, he kissed me gently. “And I’ll never get tired of saying it. I love you, Peyton.”

“I love you too.”
