Chapter Fifteen

Scarlet could practically hear them biting at the door. Their muffles and shuffles were distinct through the wooden door.

“You know I can’t concentrate when you’re hovering this close,” she called through the thick door.

“Sorry, it’s Harry’s fault,” Richard said.

“Hey.” Harry sounded outraged.

She chuckled, and after doing her business she placed the stick on the sink counter. Scarlet couldn’t believe how amazingly her life had turned round in the last few weeks. They’d moved into his old family house where four previous generations had lived. Harry thrived under the attention of Richard. They were a happy family.

The date for their marriage was set for some time in the summer. The ring on her finger glinted and always managed to catch her eye.

For the first time in her whole life she knew what it was like to be loved and give love in return.

One minute left.

She wore the dress she’d seen at the store a few weeks ago. She recalled looking at the price tag and putting the design back. Richard had given it to her this morning along with a pregnancy test. He couldn’t wait to know the answer.

The guy was like a big kid, but she loved him with her whole heart.

She rubbed her hands together and moaned in frustration. Why did two minutes suddenly seem like the longest in the world?

****

It was official. Richard was ringing the test companies and complaining. There was no way in hell those things had taken two minutes. Already it felt like a lifetime. Harry sat in his lap and was reading a book to him. They sat against the opposite wall from Lydia, who was on the stairs, and they were all waiting for the news.

Not to mention the guests he’d invited over. Shit, Scarlet didn’t know about them yet. Tony, Wayne and Lily, his sister and few others were invited over.

Regardless of what the outcome was of this test, he wanted to celebrate them moving in together.

“She’s taking so long,” Harry moaned.

“I know, buddy. But remember to always be polite and wait for a woman to make the first move.”

The door opened, and she stood in the dress she’d wanted so much. Her tits looked really good, and he moved Harry away. Richard’s cock was already stirring to get her alone.

“Well?” he asked.

The suspense was killing him.

Her face lit up like a light bulb.

“We’re going to have a baby?” he asked. Scarlet nodded, and he grabbed her in his arms and spun her around.

“What does this mean?” Harry asked.

“It means you’re going to have a brother or sister in a few months’ time.” Richard ran his fingers through his son’s hair.

“What happens to me? Do I get sold on?”

Scarlet and Lydia laughed.

“No, buddy. You know Auntie Opal? Well, I’m her big brother, and what it means is you’re going to be a big brother when mummy gives birth to a baby.”

“I can live with that,” Harry said and walked down the stairs with Lydia.

“Alone.” Richard growled and pinned her against the wall.
