“Erm, let me think. You?”
“Best answer you could have given me.” He took her hand, and kissed her knuckles. She couldn’t stop smiling.
Her love for Pea was absolute.

Pea made a note to himself. Shopping for maternity clothes was an emotional ride. Mel was crazy because she had to have elastic in the waistband, and then of course the colors. Expecting mothers were all in pastel or floral, and neither of them sat well with Mel. She was … not feeling it.
“I look like a pink pudding!”
“You don’t look like a pudding,” he said, standing up, and moving toward her. Pulling her against him, he stared at her reflection over her shoulder. “What exactly is the problem?”
The shirt fanned out over her stomach, and the white pants looked sexy. The shirt dipped near her cleavage and gave a little glimpse of breasts, which he found utterly appealing.
“I don’t like it.”
He rested his hands on her stomach. “Our baby is growing here, Mel. Jeans are not going to cut it, and I think you look sexy.” He moved close to her, and pressed his dick against her ass. He was already hardening. “I’m going to look forward to getting these off, and I’ll do it, too, because they’re a lot easier for me to get my hands on you.”
“You like them?” she asked, biting her lip.
“Yes, I do. Now, try something else on and give me this outfit.”
“Why?”
“I’m going to buy it, and let the kind women allow you to wear it out. I want only comfort for my wife.”
“You’re so perky,” she said.
“Good.” He gave her ass a little slap. “You can make it up to me later.”
Pea made the final decisions in all of her clothes. She wouldn’t take any of them that made her look too frilly, or too girly. Of course, she stood out against him as they made their way through the mall. He found himself taking as many pictures as he could. He was the leather-clad biker, and she was his beautiful princess.

“It’s a girl,” the doctor said.
Mel stared at the image of her baby on the screen. “You’re sure?”
She held onto Pea’s hand as he squeezed her tightly. That was their baby on the screen. The doctor was running the device over her stomach, and it showed a little person inside her.
“I’m positive. This is a baby girl.”
“Holy crap,” Pea said. “What are we going to do when she grows up and wants to go on dates? Not happening. Can you tell me if she’s going to be a nun?”
“I’ll give you a couple of minutes.”
The woman froze the screen for them to see just before she left the room.
“We’re having a baby, Pea.”
“You make it sound like you didn’t really believe it.”
“I kind of didn’t. I just … wow … she’s so real.” She reached out and touched the screen. “My little girl.”
Pea kissed her cheek. “You’re going to be an amazing mom.”
Tears filled her eyes. “I don’t want to screw this up. I want her to know that she is loved so much.”
