Page 3 of Love Me Again

"Oh, hell yes,"I moan as I pick up my caramel latte from the coffee machine. I bring the cup of delicious coffee to my lips, just as I'm about to take a sip, it gets taken out of my hand, "Hey, I was about to drink that," I complain and lift my gaze to my sexy husband who was scowling at me.

"No caffeine while you are pregnant." He scolds me, and I sulk, looking at him.

"But--"

"Ah!" Cole cuts me off, holding up a finger, silencing me. "Herbal tea," He smiles, handing me a hot mug of steaming crap. I glance down at the tea and back at him.

"What the hell is this?" I question, wrinkling my nose, and Cole smirks.

"Decaffeinated tea. It's camomile. It's relaxing." He informs me, and I stare at him blankly.

"Honey, if I wanted to relax, I would have stayed in bed. I got the coffee because I need to wake up." I argue, and Cole shrugs while he sips my latte and moans in delight.

"Mm, this is so good." I watch him, not amused in the slightest, and Cole leans in close to my face. "Drink your tea." He whispers and kisses my nose.

"Fine, when I fall asleep in the meeting, you'll only have yourself to blame." I fume and stalk off toward my office while Cole laughs, shaking his head.

"I love you."

"Bite me!"

"Just say where baby!" I hear him call out after me, and I look back at him, sipping my delicious latte, while he watches me with a sexy grin on his face.

God help me. I love him.

I take a sip of the tea, and my stomach lurches unpleasantly. I run out of my office toward the bathroom, where I empty the breakfast I had earlier.

"Sweetheart, you okay?" I hear Cole's voice behind the door, and I sigh.

"Yes. The baby and I agree—we hate the tea." I hear him chuckle as I wash my hands and rinse out my mouth with mouthwash. I open the door and see him leaning against the wall. He pulls me into his arms and kisses my forehead.

"I'll get them to look into some decaffeinated coffee that's safe to drink while you're pregnant. How's that sound?" I close my eyes and sigh.

"Anything is better than that tea," I mutter with a shudder, and Cole chortles.

"All right.Anything to keep my baby and my little apple happy." He coo's rubbing my stomach. I smile and gaze up into his eyes.

"All we need to be happy is you, baby," I declare, and he grins before he kisses me softly.

"You've got me forever, sweetheart." Cole parts my lips, kissing me slow and deep in the middle of our office while our employees watch us. We pull apart when they all hoot and whistle. I blush furiously and bury my face into Cole's chest, who laughs. "All right, shows over, back to work you lot." He tells them off before he pulls me toward the conference room for our meeting.

We spent over an hour reviewing the ins and outs of this new project with a client who didn't seem to have a clue what he wanted. I had to stop myself from laughing at the expression on Cole's face when the client was explaining what he was looking for.

"All right. I've got all the notes of what you've requested, Mr Collins. I'll work on this design and come back to you in a few weeks?" Cole tells him, and the client nods with an assured smile. We shake hands, and he leaves the conference room. Cole looks at me somewhat bemused, and I giggle.

"You haven't the slightest clue what he was asking for, do you?" I question, amused, and Cole shakes his head whilst scratching his chin.

"Not a clue." He sighs. "He was fucking waffling the whole time. We will figure something out, though." Cole utters with a shrug, and I smile.

"That we will, honey." I check the time on my watch and get up. "Oh, I gotta go. I've got a call with my lecturer." I inform him and walk out of the conference room back to my office. I was so excited to be back at University to finish my degree. Cole was super supportive and helping me, though he wasn't pleased that I was taking on so much work while pregnant. It was a little tiring, but it's so going to be worth it when I graduate and finally get my degree in a couple of months.

Four weeks go by,and it was time for us to find out the sex of our baby. We did discuss letting it be a surprise, but I was too impatient to wait and wanted to find out, and so was Cole.

"How are we feeling, mama?" My midwife questions when I lay down on the bed.

"I'm terrific. Other than my hands and feet swelling, I'm feeling great." I tell her, and she smiles.
