Page 102 of She's perfect for Daddy

Exhausted, I rolled over in bed as soon as I regained control of my muscles.

Slyly, she came to my chest and laid her head on my heart.

“Wow!” she whispered, still a little out of breath.

“I said I was crazy about you.”

“I thought I'd melt.”

“I hope in a good way.”

“Yes.” She giggled.

“I hope I'm living up to your expectations.” I ran my hand over his face, brushing away a few strands of hair that had gotten stuck in his sweat.

“I didn't think you'd feign modesty so soon.”

“I'm in love, Helena.”

“Me too.” She cracked a wide smile.

“I think my daughters know me better than I realized.”

“You shouldn't underestimate the intelligence of little girls.”

“You're absolutely right.” I gave her a quieter kiss.

“Now I'm hungry.” He placed a hand on his stomach awkwardly, and I realized that he had snored.

“Let's have dinner.” I motioned for us to get up and led her to the table that was set.

Helena and I settled down in front of each other. She was so beautiful that I couldn't stop looking at her. I imagined that I would never be able to experience with another woman whatI had experienced with Daphne, but I was wrong, and life had given me a chance to start again.

“She knows that the twins like having her around.”

“Just them?”

“Of course not!”

“I love being with you too, Thomas.” He smiled at me before sticking his fork into a piece of meat.

I matched his smile and opened the bottle of wine, pouring a glass for each of us. I knew we had to work the next day, but I didn't want to go to sleep so early.

Chapter thirty-nine

A few months later...

I was hoping it was just a headache that was taking too long to go away. The test was just to rule out the possibility and take my mind off it, but when I looked at the result, I grumbled quietly.

Pregnant!

I threw the test into the garbage can and massaged my temples. I could even try another one, but with the symptoms I was feeling, it was unlikely that the result would be any different. I was loving every day of my relationship with Thomas, but I wasn't planning on getting pregnant with him, at least not anytime soon.

To be honest with myself, I'd done absolutely nothing to stop it from happening since we started having sex. We used condoms at one time or another, but not at all.

“Helena, aren't you going to be late for school, dear?” My grandmother knocked on the door outside the bathroom just like she used to do when I was a little girl and started rolling around.

“I'll be right there.”
