“I’m more interested in your answer.”
Vi sucked her bottom lip between her teeth for a moment before lifting one shoulder in a half shrug. “I’m pregnant, Luca.”
I nearly fell back on my ass at her announcement. “You’re…what?”
“Pregnant,” she repeated. “Almost ten weeks now.”
“Ten weeks. Pregnant.” I sucked in a breath, or at least, I attempted to. My lungs wouldn’t cooperate. “You… You’re pregnant.”
“With twins,” she whispered.
“Holy shit,” I gasped, my brain turning into complete chaos. Dropping my hands to her waist, I stroked over her abdomen. “Are you okay? How are you feeling? Morning sickness? Remington said it was bad with Love Bug. Have you been dealing with that and I didn’t know? How did I not know?”
“Luca.”
“I mean, yeah, your tits have been bigger, but I love your tits, Vi. The bigger they are, the better, and I’ve been getting my fill of them lately. They’re so damn perfect.” I cupped each one in my hands, earning me a small, needy moan from her. “But I didn’t think about it. Please tell me you’re okay.”
“Luca.”
“We’ve had sex every night for months now. I should have realized something was up when you didn’t get your period. I know your cycle like I know football formations. But getting to put my cock in that sweet pussy must have short-circuited that part of my memory.”
“Luca!” she shouted with a giggle.
“Yeah?” I asked, continuing to cup and squeeze her amazing tits.
“Maybe we should discuss the fact that I’m pregnant. With twins. And how that makes you feel.”
I paused mid-squeeze and unloaded all the thoughts in my head at once. “I’mma be honest with you, Violet. I am a little scared right now. I don’t know how my brother handles four kids. Especially two sets of twins. I’m worried I won’t have enough time to give Love Bug the attention she’s used to from me. I’m terrified she’ll think I don’t love her as much as I love the babies in your belly because I’m not her biological daddy. And at the same time, I’m rock hard, dying to put my cock inside you. Because I made those babies with you, and that’s hot as fuck. I can’t wait to go to the doctor with you and hear their heartbeats like we did with Love Bug. I want to see them squirming around on an ultrasound screen and witness your belly getting bigger and bigger as they grow. I’m proud as fuck and scared out of my mind and so goddamn h-happy.”
Her eyes softened when my voice broke. “That’s a lot to be feeling, Luca. But I get it. I’ve been feeling all that since I found out I’m pregnant.”
“When did you find out?”
“A few weeks ago.” She bit her lip and sighed before giving me another half shrug. “The day the stuff with Megan blew up. I was going to tell you that night, but things got crazy, and I didn’t want to share something this special when you were freaking out over whether I might leave you if Megan had actually had your son.”
“Yeah, that was a really shitty day. I’m glad you saved this news.” Taking her hands in mine, I stroked my thumbs over her knuckles, enjoying the feel of the engagement ring on her finger. That diamond told the world she was spoken for. Now, with the babies that I’d put in her belly, there would be no missing the fact that she was mine.
Maybe I’d keep her pregnant.
Guilt hit me, just thinking of more kids.
“Will Love Bug think I don’t love her now?” I voiced my biggest fear.
“Of course not.” Violet laughed when I kept looking up at her, not fully believing her words. “Luca, she’s been begging for a brother or sister. She told me yesterday that she can’t be outdone by Grier. Since Shaw is pregnant, Love wants a sibling too. Think of how excited she’s going to be when she finds out she’s getting two at once. I doubt Shaw will be able to pull off twins with her current pregnancy. She already confirmed there’s only one baby in there.”
“I don’t want Love Bug to ever doubt how much she means to me, Vi,” I whispered. “You and that girl are my entire world. What if she—”
“She won’t,” Violet promised.
“But what if I can’t love these babies as much as I love her?” That was my second biggest fear. How could I possibly love another kid as much as I loved my daughter? And we were expecting two. My heart was only so big.
As if she could read my mind, Violet pushed me onto my back and then straddled my waist. “Listen to me, Luca Thornton. You’re capable of more love than you think. How else do you think you love a little girl so much whom you had no part in creating?”
“I’m able to love her so much because she’s half you, Vi,” I told her honestly. “From the moment Remington showed me her ultrasound picture, I loved her. Because I never stopped loving you.”
Tears filled her eyes once again, and she gave me a trembling, watery smile. “Well, these babies are half me too. They are me and they are you. Our love created them, and you’ll love them just as much as you do Love Bug, without depriving her of an ounce of the attention or adoration that she’s used to getting from you.”
“What if I turn into a bad dad?” I continued to worry.
