“So, you're having a boy?” My uncle smiles and this time it’s not clever or smug like it usually is, it’s genuine and almost looks as if it came from the heart.
“Mads tells me not to get my hopes up but I got a gut feeling.” I laugh to myself.
“So you ain’t thinking of selling to the Gendrys?” I don’t know why, but his question fuckin’ hurts.
“Never.” I shake my head firmly. “Like I said, this here's Sullivan property, we’ve worked hard for it and some of us have gone even further.” I stare down at my hands and although the blood’s been washed off ‘em, the memories still remain.
“I’m happy for ya, Jace. I am.” He slaps me on the back before he gets up and steps off the porch. Suddenly a thought pops into my head and I call after him.
“Whatcha doin’ Sunday?” It’s a stupid idea to even ask, Uncle Jamie’s never been a family man.
“Well, I ain’t going to church, that's for sure.” He looks back at me and sniggers.
“Mads will be making something after service. I can’t promise that it’ll taste good but I know she’d like for you to join us, so you can at least pretend to like it.”
Maddison’s right, this old grump is the only extended family our kid is gonna have, and he may not be the best of men out there but he’s always come through for me. I never should have doubted him over Billy.
“Sure.” He nods his head, gratefully before getting in his car and speeding off.
I’m a little surprised as I head inside but at the same time, I’m pleased. Maddison’s been desperate for me to invite him over and maybe the fact I have and he’s accepted, might get me outta the dog house.
She’s lying out on the couch, wearing my sweats and a baggy tee when I step through the door and after hanging up my hat and kicking off my boots, I move over to join her.
Lifting up her legs, I take their spot and place them on my lap while she continues to read. I watch her, knowing full well that she ain’t taking in any of the words from the way she keeps glancing at me.
“How long ya gonna stay mad for?” I ask, stroking her leg and then rubbing my thumb into the sole of her foot.
“Until yo–” She gasps as her whole body tenses and her eyes stare at me in shock. I immediately straighten up and panic.
“Mads, what's wrong?” My heart is beating outta my chest while I wait for her to tell me.
“I…I felt something,” she tells me.
“Felt what? What kinda something?” Shit, I shouldn’t have left her while she was mad, she’s gotten herself worked up.
“A good something, like a wriggle.” She lifts up her tee and stares down at her stomach. “I think it was him.” Her lips pick up into a smile and I immediately place my hand over her slight swell in the hope that I might feel it too.
“Is he doing it now?” I check when I feel nothing.
“Yeah.” She nods her head as she drags my hand a little lower. “It’s more here.” She shows me and when I still feel nothing, the happiness on her face distracts me from feeling any disappointment.
“How does it feel?” I smile as I watch her become overwhelmed with emotion.
“Wonderful. Amazing. Kind of weird.” She giggles. “How is it possible to love something so much that isn’t here yet?” she asks with eyes full of hope.
“I don’t know but I like how it feels, a whole lot.” I keep my hand resting there for the rest of the night, just in case I miss something, and the fact that she lets me, is enough for me to know that she ain’t mad at me anymore.
JACE
EIGHT WEEKS LATER
“Someone’s active this morning.” I hold her big, round belly firmly in my hands while my girl rides my cock.
“You woke him up.” She smiles at me seductively, resting her hands on my shoulders to steady herself.
“If I recall correctly, you were the one that jumped on me.” I slide a hand up to squeeze one of her tits, they don’t seem to be hurting her anymore. In fact, she loves it when I play with ‘em, and as I suck at her nipple I feel her pussy soak me even more.
“Jace, that's good. Don’t stop.” She sounds breathless. “Fuck… keep going,” she moans as she slams herself onto me harder. Something sweet passes through my lips, and when I get a taste of it on my tongue I growl as I suck at her harder.
