“I wanted to tell you something.” She whispered.

“Now?”

“Yeah, now.” She said nodding.

I raised my eyebrows and waited for her to explain. “Well?”

“Do you want a boy or a girl?” She asked.

It took a few moments for my brain to catch up to her question, but when it did, I all but burst with excitement.

Totally ignoring everything Reverend Spano was saying, I hauled Adeline into my arms and started to spin her. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

Chuckles filled the air around us, but I ignored them as I waited for her to answer.

She shook her head. “No. I found out this morning.”

“Fuck yes,” I said.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” Reverend Spano said with a smile in his voice.

He was too late though. I had Adeline’s mouth to my own, ravishing it, before the words even left the reverend’s mouth.

ADELINE

9 months later

“And for you, sir?” The waitress asked Kettle.

“I want that 2 for $20 meal. I want both of them steaks. One with corn and mashed potatoes. The other with fries and a baked potato.”

I closed my eyes and tried hard not to laugh. The man was a fucking eating machine ever since he’d gotten me pregnant. Now, at nine months pregnant, I could barely fit anything into my stomach. However, Kettle more than made up for it.

When she started to leave, Kettle called her back with a loud, “Wait!”

“Yes, sir?” She asked nervously.

I snorted. The man intimidated everyone, but holy hell was he hotter than sin.

“You didn’t take my wife’s order.” Kettle said patiently.

“Wait, you’re going to eat both of those?” She said, stepping from foot to foot.

At Kettle’s serious nod, the young server turned to me expectantly. “What can I get you, ma’am?”

“I’ll have the Molten Lava Cake, a hamburger, and onion rings. Bring the cake when you bring their salads.” I instructed her.

When the young girl looked at me as if I’d lost my mind, Baylee and Sebastian, who were sitting in front of us, started laughing.

I glared at the couple, but held my tongue until the waiter walked away with our order.

“Why are y’all laughing at me? He’s the one who ordered two full meals for himself.” I growled.

Sebastian started to guffaw at that statement.

“Did you know he had to go up a pant size in his uniform pants?” Sebastian asked Baylee.
