"Where are we going,babe? And why the blindfold?" I touch the fabric that's covering my eyes while I squirm in my seat. I rub my belly with one hand and hum the lullaby "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, hoping it will calm them. The duo had me up most of the night as they made it impossible to sleep with their kicks. We had our last ultrasound two days ago, and I can't wait for them to come out. Being pregnant is amazing, but it's hard towards the end, and this mommy wants her body back after being thirty-six weeks and six days pregnant. Cole places his hand on my thigh and caresses it.
"If you think you're coming near my pussy, you're dead wrong. Until your children are out, it's closed. Why are they not coming out? I'm beyond an enormous whale; I'm a goddamn sperm whale." My husband chuckles, and I slam my hand sideways, hitting his arm. "Cole, it's not funny. I can't see my feet, my bladder is the size of a raisin, and my tits are giant sensitive watermelons."
"Alex. Tomorrow you're thirty-seven weeks; you're near the end. Our children are growing well, and I find you and your giant belly stunning."
"Your smooth talk doesn't work this time, Walker."
"Okay, let's see if this will work," he says as he stops the car. "Wait. And don't remove the blindfold."
A few seconds later, the door on my side opens. A warm hand touches my cheek. "Give me your hand."
I accept his offer. Standing on both feet next to the car, I touch the black fabric. "Can I finally remove this thing?"
"Yeah, Miss Impatience, you can."
I yank it away and blink a few times to adjust to the light. When my vision clears, I glance up, and my mouth drops as I stare at the house we bought a few months ago. "Welcome home! I finished the house."
"What? But you said it would be another four weeks before we could move."
"That was a white lie."
I spin around and hit his chest. "A lie? Do you have any idea how stressed I was, thinking of moving with twins? I—"
Warm lips shut me up, and my fingers dig into the fabric of his shirt as his tongue touches mine. My sexy husband found out it's the shortcut to making my pregnant brain stop rambling.
"I'm sorry, but I wanted to surprise you."
He turns me and pulls my back against his tall frame as I stare at our home. This is a house we instantly fell in love with. After finding out we were having twins, we decided we wanted to move. We want to raise our children in a family home with a large garden where they can run and get dirty. This picture-perfect home has a serene setting. It's nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac with a manicured lawn, and stunning flowering trees. Cole intertwines our hands as we walk to the front porch, perfect to enjoy warm hot chocolate or a fresh morning coffee.
"This is perfect." My eyes get glassy, seeing the sign by the door that says,The Walker Family. I press myself on my tiptoes and kiss his cheek.
Cole opens the front door, and we walk into the inviting foyer. The walls are an off-white color and combined with the hardwood floors; it gives off a warm and cozy atmosphere. The whole house is fully decorated, and natural light beams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. This is exactly how I envisioned our family home looking. I stroll to the window that's overlooking the gazebo and sprawling lawn, and I imagine standing here while watching our kids play on the grass.
"Oh, it's gorgeous."
As my eyes shift to the fireplace, they go wide, and I have to wipe a tear from the corner of my eye. Bella's work of art, the painting that shows a woman's and a man's face inches away from each other, is hanging in full view above it. When she gave it to me, she confessed she had used Cole and I as inspiration. It's how she sees us together and why she called it "Irresistible Attraction." Cole grabs my hand and pulls me through the foyer towards the room on the right side.
"This will be the music and study room where we'll place the Bösendorfer."
My attention wanders from the windows to the room, with its oversized bookcase, comfortable chairs, and wooden table. Perfect for studying and relaxation.
"Sam is going to love this area."
I grab my back and let out a grunt as pain spears through it.
"Are you okay?"
"Hmm, yes. My back pain is increasing. These babies are getting too heavy. But let's move. I want to see the rest."
Together we stroll through the open-plan kitchen with the breakfast table and the center island. With pride, Cole shows me the three-car garage and the extensive home gym. Upstairs, I'm in awe of our enormous master suite with the ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. And when we view Samantha's room, I smile. It turned out amazing. The bedroom has a feminine feel with the soft spring green color on the walls, and with the desk by the window with a view of the backyard combined with the music notes bed covers. It’s perfect.
"Are you ready to see the nursery?"
I nod and let my husband guide me to one of the other bedrooms.
"Okay, open it."
