“But you're not really going to name them Luke and Leia, are you?” Sophia asked and Alexis laughed. She looked at Blake and smiled.
“We've talked about names, but we're keeping them a secret until they're born.”
“That's not fair,” Mason pouted. “I need to know what my nibling's names will be.”
“You'll know when they're born,” Blake teased.
Under the table, Sophia put her hand on Alexis's thigh.
“I’m so happy for you, Lex.”
“Thanks, Soph.” Picking up Sophia’s hand, she placed it low on her stomach. “I don’t know if you can feel them, but there’s little kicks every now and then. Barely a flurry, but they’re there.”
“So Baby B is the boy?” Mason asked, then high fived Harper. “Dude, you totally nailed that.”
“I know,” she giggled.
Alexis felt a flutter in her stomach as Sophia gasped. She covered her hand with her own and laughed.
“I felt them!” Sophia laughed as tears filled her eyes. “That’s the first time I’ve felt them move.”
“Oh, I want to feel.” Rushing around the table, Isla made her way over to Alexis. She pushed her seat back from the table, allowing Isla more room. “I don’t feel anything.”
“Let Aunt Mason try.” And she did, but again, nothing. Alexis couldn’t help but laugh at the silly twins who seemed to knowexactlywhat they were doing. “I give up. Sophia probably told them to freeze so only she could feel them.”
“It’s because they like me better,” Sophia teased.
As they continued their lunch, Alexis couldn’t help but soak in how she felt. She hadn’t savored her pregnancy with Harper; at least not how she was savoring this one. Every day was a new memory to make with her babies. The morning sickness, back aches, and constant trips to the bathroom were just signs her body was growing the babies.
But there was one side effect of her second trimester that Alexis was keen on enjoying this time around.
Under the table, Alexis put her hand on Blake’s leg. She slowly moved it between her legs, letting her pinky finger gently graze her warm center. Blake nearly choked on her drink. Thankfully everyone was finished eating so when Alexis said she wanted to get home, no one questioned them. Even better, Harper had announced halfway through the meal she was going home with Mason which meant they’d have a free afternoon.
Well, not entirely free. Alexis had plans on what she wanted to do.
By the time they were back in the apartment, they were deep into kissing and Blake was already taking off her clothes. Her pants, jackets, shirt, and shoes followed their path to the bedroom and she maneuvered Alexis through the house. When her knees hit the edge of the bed, she carefully sat down.
“These clothes aren’t going to take themselves off.”
She liked toying with Blake when they were having sex. It drove Blake wild, which Alexis loved. Getting down on her knees, Blake pulled Alexis’s boots and sweatpants off and tossed them across the room. Standing, Alexis let Blake slowly remove her panties while she placed kisses down her body. Alexis’s entire body shivered when Blake’s hands ran up under her sweatshirt to pull it over her head.
Before Blake, Alexis never felt secure in her body. She was insecure about the extra weight she’d never lost after Harper and the stretch marks that never entirely disappeared. But Blake had taught her how to love her body by showing Alexis how much she loved her. It was no different now. Despite her five-month pregnant stomach and the new stretch marks, Blake still loved her body. That much was apparent by how she left a trail of kisses from her neck to her navel and back again.
Alexis felt Blake’s fingers moving around her wet center and waited for more. But it didn’t happen. Instead, the touching stopped all together.
“What’s wrong?”
“If I, you know,” Blake held up two fingers, “am I going to touch the babies?”
Alexis couldn’t contain her laughter. “What?”
“I mean, you said the baby was sitting low so I didn’t know.”
“Blake, we literally had sex last night.”
“Well, that was before I thought I could high five our son.”
Alexis couldn't contain her laughter. “Trust me, you won't. Do we need to go over female anatomy again?”
