“Promise you won’t keep anything from me again. I want to know it all. Be part of every step.”
“Yes.” I stroked his hair, my throat aching. “But if I’m not…”
“If you’re not…” He took a bolstering breath. “I really want you to be. I want you to have my baby. Doesn’t have to be anytime soon, but I want to make the choice to create a child with someone, and I want it to be you, Honey McNeill.”
“Jeez, why don’t you just set dynamite to my birth control?” I laughed until his eyes locked on mine.
“We should do that.” He stood, still holding onto me, and some dizzy female part of my brain marveled that he was so strong he could hold me as if I was feather-light. And I so was not.
Soon to get even bigger. Maybe.
“What, are you going to find it and destroy it right now? What happened to protecting my future?”
“I still want to do that. But I’m a selfish man, because I really want your future to be with me.”
My phone went off in my pocket. “Mr. Mom?” he ventured, making me laugh.
“Yeah. Probably.” I didn’t make any move to answer. I wasn’t sure we were finished.
He set me down on my feet and stroked a hand down my hair. “Answer it.”
Okay, guess we were. I tugged out my phone and swiped open my text messages.
Mav
You okay?
I smiled and replied.
I’m fine. Just told Christian.
Mav
Told him you might be…
Yeah. Just maybe. And I really love him.
Mav
I kinda got that feeling already. You know this means you two are gonna have to come over for the family grilling, right?
I sneaked a peek at Christian’s strong profile as he waited for me to finish a discreet distance away. He was so handsome. So…everything.
Yes. I’m going to meet his family tomorrow after covering Miranda’s early shift at the station. Reagan is coming too. She’s really sweet and smart. Too bad we can’t do both families at once. Just to be expedient.
As soon as I typed it, I wanted to erase my words. No way could we do that all at once. Nor did I even want to.
Actually, I hadn’t even fully processed what I was saying. I was love drunk and happiness drunk and relieved I hadn’t hopelessly messed up everything before we even got started.
Well, we’d started but we were so new and everything felt so very perilous.
Mav
Damn, girl, you’re brave. One family’s not enough for you? Okay, I’ll see if I can make it happen. Moose is a great guy so I have to assume rest of Christian’s family is cooler than he is too. I’ll get back soon as I talk to the ‘rents.
Wait, I didn’t ask Christian yet!
I glanced toward Christian and found him watching me, smiling slightly.
