“You haven't been taking birth control pills for a while. And I don't think that was a stomach flu you were having,” headmits.

“Are you serious?” I smack hisarm.

“I know it was wrong, I just…” He trails off, but his eyes are soft while his grip isfirm.

I should be mad at him, but I can't find it in me. Not when he looks at me like he is right now. His eyes are filled with so muchhope.

“You think I’m pregnant?” I ask, a seed of hope growing in myheart.

He lowers his face to my stomach, pushing up my shirt and placing a kiss there. “You haven’t bled inmonths.”

I try to think back to my last period, and I’m shocked to realize he’s right. How did I missthat?

“If it’s a girl I pray she looks just like you.” I smile down at him as he keeps placing kisses on mystomach.

“What if it’s a boy?” I comment, and his whole body stills. I see fear flash across his eyes. “Sweetheart?” I ask, wondering why he’s so scared. It’s written all over his face and it’s not something I’m used toseeing.

“I’m big. A son of mine would be too big for you to carry.” He’s so concerned that I can’t help butlaugh.

“If I can take you, I’m sure I can have your giant baby boys,” I snort as he narrows his eyes. “Besides, we don’t even know if I’m reallypregnant.”

“I know every line of your body. You’re pregnant,” he confirms. “I’ve known for a few weeks.” He kisses the side of my neck, trailing down toward my chest. “I know everything aboutyou.”

The past few weeks of slow love-making add up. Normally he can be pretty aggressive, but lately it’s been soft and sweet. Not that I mind. It doesn’t matter how he takes me because I’m always happy when we’retogether.

“That’s why you’ve been so careful withme.”

“I’m always careful with you.” His gaze meetsmine.

“You’re always sweet with me, but lately…” I trailoff.

His hands go to my shorts, and he unbuttons them and slides them down my legs. “You’ve given me the greatest gift in life, Lainey. You’ve given me your body and you’re going to give me a child. I’ll show you I’m worthy of such a gift with every touch of my hand.” He moves between my thighs, kissing his way to my pussy. “With every touch of mylips.”

My gentle giant spreads my lips and runs his tongue against my clit. I moan as I clutch his hair with my fingers and he shows me exactly how much he lovesme.

Nine monthslater…

Iholdour son and then look over to Lainey. Both are sound asleep. The delivery was difficult for her, as we all knew it would be. Our son was thirteen pounds and her little body wasn’t able to have a natural birth. She’s been on bed rest the last few weeks, but I haven’t minded. I’ve been able to have her all tomyself.

I’ve been busy at work, but I’ve got enough crews to cover so I could take off time when Lainey needed help, and then I was on hand after our baby was born. He’s completely perfect and I can’t stop holding him. Lainey says I keep hogging the baby, and she’s probably right. I can’t help it, though. He looks just like her. He’s going to be big like me, but he’s got her eyes and her chin, and I can’t stopsmiling.

I didn’t know I could love something so much until I saw Lainey. Now that she’s given me a child, that love has somehow grown. Impossible though it seemed, she’s domesticated me in every way. Now she shows me how to use a smartphone and takes me to cook-outs with friends. I didn’t think this life was possible, but I would do anything for my Lainey. And now I know I would do the same for our son,Phoenix.

Lainey likes the name because she says it represents us. I agreed, because I never want to see a frown on her face. As long as she is in my arms when I go to bed at night, she can always have anything shewants.

Phoenix sighs and wraps his hand around my finger. My heart warms. Now there are two of them to pull at myheartstrings.
