"Yes," she sobs. "I love you too."
I slip my hand between us, cupping her belly. "Did I hurt you? Fuck. I was rough with you. Maybe we should get you checked out."
"I'm f-fine," she says, sniffling and laughing simultaneously. "I k-knew you were going to freak out."
I narrow my eyes on her. "Is that why you came here by yourself?"
"Yes." She isn't even ashamed to admit it. "You're going to p-put me in bubble wrap and be all soft and sweet for the n-next nine months. I w-wanted to enjoy myself o-one more time first."
"You're still in trouble."
"Okay," she whispers. "But would I be in less trouble if I told you that I also wanted to tell you here, in the place where my dreams first started coming true? This is where I feel like our s-story finally began. It felt like the right place to tell you that the next chapter is beginning, too."
"Fuck," I breathe, kissing her hard. "I love that."
"Me too."
"You get to explain to Jonas that you told me in the middle of a sex club."
"Fine. Then you get to tell him that we're really married and have been lying to him for years."
"Or," I counteroffer, "we can just make up a story about how and where you told me." Jonas is moving back to Tennessee in a few weeks. He's going to lose his damn mind when he finds out I married his sister years ago. I am not looking forward to the fit he's going to throw about it. Honestly, I don't know how he hasn't figured it out by now, but the man is nothing if not oblivious.
"He'll be even angrier at you if you got me pregnant before you married me, so we have to tell him."
Shit. She's right.
"You don't want to tell him?" she asks, eyeing me in worry.
Nope. Fuck that. I can deal with a lot of things, but my wife thinking I want to hide her? Absolutely fucking not. We wentdown that road once. It nearly destroyed everything. I'll be damned if I do it again.
"I'll shout it from the rooftops, little one," I murmur, cupping her cheek. "You and this baby are my life. I'm not afraid to let Jonas know. I don't care what he has to say. It won't change a damn thing. I'm just not looking forward to listening to him bitch. He's loud and dramatic. It's a pain in the ass."
She smiles, the shadows in her eyes vanishing. " He is loud and dramatic."
"He is." I dip my head to nibble on her lips. "But that's a problem for another day. We've got another problem right now."
"What problem?"
"You're still in that fucking dress, and I haven't had nearly enough of you, Parker."
"Oh," she whispers, wrapping her arms around my neck as I lay her out of the bed beneath me, following her down. "Then you should definitely solve this one, Kellan."
"Plan on it." I press my lips to hers, losing myself in her all over again.
