“But it would be something I can recover from soon.” Elle pauses, giving me an impish look. “I think he said nine months, although it could be less depending on when the time starts.”
I’m confused. What is she talking about? Then it comes to me, and I realize what she’s saying.
“Are you pregnant?”
“I am.” Elle laughs, rolling towards me. “He thinks I’m about six to eight weeks, so I’m going to need an ultrasound when we get back to get a definite due date. It would account for feeling sick all the time.”
“Weren’t you sick with the other two?”
“Not with Lewis, but with Amy I felt awful all the time.” Elle grins. “I’m probably having a girl, if I’m going by that logic.”
“I wouldn’t mind that.” I kiss her. “Are you sure about having another child? We didn’t plan for more…”
“But we did say that we would take whatever happens, and we weren’t using protection, so it was inevitable.”
“Do you think we can cope with a third?”
“I know we can. We’ve got enough family to help us out.” Elle’s eyes glinted mischievously. “Your mom is going to be delighted to have another grandchild. She’s been doting over Amy and Lewis.”
I’m glad about that. I did have to give her a telling off for trying to push my ex-girlfriend onto me again, but once things had calmed down I had introduced her to Elle and Amy. Elle had been pregnant with Lewis, at that point. Mom and Dad had welcomed her into our family, and they adored their grandchildren.
“Careful with Mom, though. She’ll probably want to name the baby.”
“Not a chance.” Elle kisses me. “Do we have to go back right now? I want to make the most of my current state.”
“You’re not feeling nauseous?”
“Not yet. So…”
She doesn’t get to finish as I kiss her and roll her onto her back. I don’t think I’ve been happier in my life after Elle agreeing to marry me when I fluffed up the proposal by dropping the ring and hurting my back when Elle jumped on me for a hug and knocked me over. The pain was worth it, though.
I know, for certain, that I’m lucky with what I’ve got.
