Knight glances at my glass of water, then I watch realization form on his face and he pulls me into his lap.
I slip my arms around him, and the excitement that fills his eyes as he gazes at me pulls on my heart.
“Why can’t you drink the wine, Aurora?” He presses his nose to mine. “Pleasetell me it’s the usual reason most women stop drinking. Usually for around nine months.”
My smile radiates from my core, reflecting my joy from the inside out. “Yes, I’m pregnant. Only two weeks. That food my dad cooked was just fine.” I went to the doctor days ago after we had dinner with my father when I couldn’t stop throwing up.
Knight stares back at me as if he wants to savor every word I’ve said, then he cups my face and strokes my cheek.
“Aurora…I’m going to be a father?”
We’ve never spoken about children, so I hope he’s not too shocked.
“Yes. Are you happy I—”
He pulls me in for a kiss, showing me without words the extent of his happiness. I’ve kissed this man so many times that I know what each kiss means. This one is coming straight from his soul.
“I’m the happiest man alive.” He murmurs against my lips with a warmth to his voice that whispers of all the things he’s longed for. “You have no idea how happy you’ve made me. You are everything I’ve ever wanted and more.”
“So are you, Knight Grayson.” I gaze into his eyes, falling for him all over again.
That sexy smile returns, and he reaches across the table to pick up a few grains of pomegranate. He ordered it earlier as a joke, but there’s a deeper sentiment to it now.
He feeds it to me, and I smile while crunching on the seeds.
“It’s official now. You’re staying with me forever, Goddess of Spring. And I’m going to enjoy filling your belly with all my babies.”
“All?” I laugh. “How many kids are we having, Knight?”
“Why don’t we just let the universe decide that part, and we can work on creating them?”
“That sounds like fun, Hades.”
“It will be.”
He kisses me again, and I press my hand to his heart, feeling it beat for me.
Mine beats for him too.

Knight
It’s Monday morning.
I don’t hate days like these so much anymore.
Mondays now feel like another chance to start a fresh week filled with all sorts of new adventures.
Like now.
I’m at the Park Avenue branch of Grayson Inc., gazing out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in my new office.
I smile at the view of the skyline and the bright sunshine bouncing off the neighboring skyscrapers.
It’s truly glorious.
Although I’ve been taking care of this branch for a few months now, today is the first spent in my actual office.
