“Why is that even a question?”
“Adrian…”
He kisses his way down my neck. “What?”
“I’m pregnant.”
He pauses with his lips on my throat before he slowly pulls back, his gray eyes shining in the darkness. “What did you just say?”
I take his hand and place it on my flat stomach. “I took a few tests and they were positive. We have to go to the doctor, but I’m almost sure we’re expecting.”
We agreed to have a second child not too long ago and Adrian has had a blast trying to impregnate me. He fucks me any chance he gets and whenever I become a brat and whine about it, he says it’s to give Jeremy a sibling and that we should both sacrifice for the greater good.
His large hand strokes my stomach. “Our baby is here?”
“Yes. Our baby.”
Jeremy might have brought us together, but it was a forced start. This one will be different, this one will be our permanent step into happiness.
Adrian hugs me, then sighs in the crook of my neck before he pulls back to stare at me. “And here I was enjoying the process of impregnating you. But oh well, all good things come to an end.”
“Why do they have to end?”
“My, Mrs. Volkov. Are you implying that I should continue?”
“I mean, you have to. If my pregnancy with Jeremy was any indication, you know how responsive I get.”
He smiles, eyes shining. “Oh, I remember.”
I grab him by the jacket. “Should we start now?”
“Again, why is that a question, wife?”
Then his lips are on mine again.
Epilogue 2 – Adrian
One year later
Islowly close the nursery door, making the click as quiet as possible.
Putting our daughter, Annika, to sleep is a mission all on its own. She’s such a handful compared to when Jeremy was an infant. And not only after she was born, but also during the pregnancy.
She often woke Lia in the middle of the night with her furious kicking and refused to go to sleep. Those nights were the longest, but my Lenochka and I got through them by being equally awake.
Ogla says Annika will be a hellion and I believe her.
Jeremy has been over the moon since he found out that he’d have a baby sister, and he’s the first one she smiled at. He said he will protect her as her older brother. Our boy is so responsible, even at a young age, and has already learned how to hold his sister properly.
Lia’s putting him to bed while I take care of Annika. Sometimes we switch and other times, I come to find both of them asleep or Annika throwing a tantrum while a half-awake Lia coos her to sleep.
The first months are usually the hardest, but we’re getting there. Even if we’ve forgotten what it means to get a good night’s sleep.
All my life, I’ve known I was expected to have children and heirs, but I never thought it would be such an experience. The fact that I get to live it with my Lenochka is the reason why I not only endure it, but I also enjoy it.
Because this is our family.
Myfamily, the one I would protect with my life.
