Page 73 of Our Unexpected Beginning
“He’s happy.” Wes’ words were reassuring.
“So…” It was Julia’s turn to be nervous. “I have to ask, is it a man thing? Like I’m pregnant, and he’s afraid he’s going to manhandle the baby into a pirate or something?!”
Wes’ eyes widened, and he began to laugh. Julia crossed her arms in annoyance even though her lips quirked into a smile. “It’s not funny.”
“I’m sorry, kiddo. Oh boy.”
“Ever since I started showing things have fizzled.”
“Fizzled?” It was his turn to furrow his brows. “Not to give bro secrets or anything but I thought you two were fucking like bunnies at every chance?”
“Maybe that was the wrong word.” Julia paused and contemplated her choice of words. She was only used to talking to Mel about boy stuff. She was her best friend, and they supported each other from hoe to homie. This was different. Wes was someone invested in both parties. There was the bro code of solidarity factor as well.
“The sex is great, but the daddy-to-be took out my Dominant.” Julia shrugged and shuffled her feet. “We haven’t played here since before.”
“So he’s been steering clear of toys, props, and restraints?”
“Yeah. There’s been a little restraint. Graham’s been easy.”
“I understand. There are a lot of things you have to consider when you’re pregnant. You’re over thirty, I’m sure he’s being overly cautious.”
“Please tell me there’s a book, bible, how-to, or something in this club that will get through to this man that the sex is great, but I’d really like to get fucked now.”
“There is, but you should talk to him.”
Julia wrinkled her nose. “Apparently, pregnancy took my bratting powers away. There’s only so much I can nudge through the distance.”
“Have you talked to Mia? Her and Nolan are the best example of pregnancy and the lifestyle. Now, I’m not saying I’m not going to talk to him.” Wes held his hands up. “In the casual ‘nobody talked to me’ kind of way, promise.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem. Come on, if I don’t make an appearance Mel will wind herself up on hot chocolate.”
They left Wes’ office and split up to avoid suspicion on their way back down to the pit.
Julia returned to find Nolan had joined the group while she was gone and her and Nolan were lovingly bickering.
“No, no more hot chocolate for you missy. You’ve had enough caffeine.”
“But Daddy!” Mia whined, crossing her arms over her chest. “If you’re gonna keep me up, I needs my energyplease.”
“Butterfly.”
“Daddy, please?” Mia beseeched with loving eyes to her husband-to-be. “Benny has kept me up all week.”
Mia leaned in and kissed him softly. “Peasss, Daddy.”
Nolan sighed, knowing he was wrapped around her finger. “You can finish this one, no more.”
“Deal.” She grinned. “I mean it is all your fault anyway.”
“I love when you’re pregnant. I can’t help it.”
“Well can this one walk before we have another?”
“I’ll take that argument under consideration, butterfly.”
Mia laughed as Nolan left to join Noah at the demo tables.
