Chapter Six

“Say,don’t be stupid. You can’t just move out because I won’t tell my mom. You know it’s difficult. You know she’s difficult.”

“I do, Everett, but I don’t want our relationship to be based on a lie. If you don’t tell her then it means that you’re ashamed of me.” I climb off his lap and move to the door. “I’m not sure I can be with someone who is ashamed of me.” I leave before he can stop me.

“SAYLOR, get back here. We haven’t finished this conversation.” He’s angry, but not as angry as I am. I need to get some air.

“I’m going out for a walk. I need some time on my own…”

“Baby, it’s dark. You can’t go outside.”

“I am going, just watch me.” I know I’m being petty, but I need to get away and think.

When I’m outside, I wrap my coat around me and walk down the drive. I’m not intending to go far, it’s not like I’m leaving him or anything. But I do need to think about what is happening between us. It all happened so quickly and we’ve been given this new life to think about now too. I don’t want to be a single mother. I’m not strong enough to do this on my own without him. I want him in my life. I love him. But, if he doesn’t tell his mom sooner rather than later, then I’ll have to think about what I want. I want a man who stands by his woman, no matter what.

An hour later I walk back into the house and Everett is waiting for me. He’s sitting in the kitchen with a bottle of whiskey. He looks up as I walk in.

“I thought you weren’t coming back, Say. I thought you’d left me.” He looks down at his glass before looking at me. His eyes are wet and I know at that moment that he was crying. He does love me. How could I ever doubt him? I walk over to him and put my arms around his neck. He moves his chair out and I straddle him. He puts his arms around me and pulls me in tight. “I love you. I will tell my mom, but you’ve got to give me some time. You know how difficult she is and I just need to find the right time. We are doing this together, baby, but I just need a few days.”

“Okay. I’m just worried that she’s not going to be happy and try to split us up.”

He reaches up and puts his finger under my chin so that I look up into his eyes. “I love you and my mom is never going to change that, Say. Never.” He kisses me gently on the lips, it’s full of emotion and love.

He picks me up and carries me up the stairs into our bedroom. Laying me down he takes my clothes off so that I am naked in front of him. He strips his clothes off and then just stands at the end of the bed, staring at me. I shudder as I watch his eyes pass down my body and back up again.

“Say, you’re so beautiful. I’m so lucky to have you in my life.” He walks towards me and kisses me from my toes up and up my legs. The little light kisses tickle me and make me shiver at the same time. He makes my body feel incredible. As he gets to the top of my legs, he misses the place I want him to kiss the most and he kisses up my stomach. His eyes are now lifted up to stare in mine as he crawls up my body. When his lips brush my breasts, my nipples peak, but he moves past them. When he is leaning over me he lowers himself until his lips are kissing my eyes, then my nose, then eventually they land on my lips.

There is more emotion in his kisses than he’s ever given me before. I can feel the love oozing out of his pores. He is trying to prove to me that he loves me more than anything and it’s working.

“Everett…”

He lifts his finger to my mouth. “Shhh. Don’t talk.” I giggle and then his hand runs down my stomach to my core. He plunges a finger inside me. “You’re ready for me, baby. I can’t wait any longer.” He takes his finger out then grabs hold of his cock as he guides it between my lips. Then he plunges deep inside. It’s so emotional and so good.

“Oh God, Everett,” I moan as he very slowly draws back and moves back in. Everything is slower and deeper than normal. We can fuck like rabbits and do so most of the time, but this is different. Everett is telling me with his body how much he loves me. It’s the most emotional experience of my life.

When we come together at the same time, Everett falls on top of my body and whispers in my ear. “I love you, Saylor. Don’t ever forget that.”

Three weekslater we have our first ultrasound and Everett still hasn’t told his mom about me or the baby. It’s the one thing that we argue about. I try not to push him too hard, but I don’t want to be the woman that no-one knows about.

When we hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time, it’s emotional. Everett clasps my hand in his and we both cry. It’s amazing to be carrying a baby around and incubating it so that it can come into our world. I could never have dreamed that I would be having a baby with my boss.

They print out some pictures for us to keep and I can’t stop looking at the baby. He or she is real. This is really happening. We are going to be parents. We go for lunch and talk about the baby.

“Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?” I ask as I eat some bread.

“I don’t know. I’d love a little girl running around that looks like you,” he says, smiling at me. Then his face changes. “Actually, I don’t think I could deal with all the boys calling to the house. I’d want to do background checks on them and everything.”

I laugh, he’s mad.

When we go back to the office he kisses me on the cheek before we step inside the building. No-one knows that we are dating and he wants to keep it that way until he tells his mom. But he needs to do that soon or someone else will see us and tell her. That is not going to go down well and I, for one, want him to do that on his own. I just want him to do it sooner rather than later.

If he doesn’t then I’m going to have to do something I don’t want to do. But if he doesn’t tell her soon, then I’m going to have to tell him that it’s me and the baby, or her. Make your choice Everett.
