I watched as he stood up and crossed the room to the wet bar, pouring himself a glass of bourbon and reaching for a bottle of water.

“I really wish you would stop talking in circles and tell me what you need. You say you need everything and I thought I was giving that to you, but it’s not enough. According to all my sisters, I’m the typical stereotypical male. If you don’t spell it out for me perfectly, I don’t get it. I try, but I honestly suck at it. You know that about me.”

He held out the bottle of water and it just made me more angry. Here we are in the middle of an argument, well, maybe a disagreement and he was pushing water on me like that’s the most important thing at stake.

“I love you Nick, I fucking love you and I didn’t mean to fall in love with you, but I did. I can’t be part of your life knowing you don’t love me. I can’t go to holidays with your family and pretend I don’t want to be a part of all that. I can’t live with you, sleep with you every night and raise our child with you if you can’t love me the same way I love you.”

The tears I thought had run out fell without me even caring. It was all out there now, for better or for worse. I braced myself when I looked back up, but what I saw made me want to scream. Nick stood in front of me with his arms crossed and a stupid fucking smile on his face.

“You think I don’t love you?” he said with a laugh, “Ansley, of course I love you. I’m insane about you. Don’t you see that? I spent the last six months of my life obsessing over you before I even knew you were carrying my daughter. My life was empty without you in it, and I didn’t realize how bad I had fallen until you were gone. Now that I have you back, you aren’t going anywhere, especially if you love me.”

His arms fell to the sides, and he stepped forward, reaching for me. He didn’t pull me into his arms, but placed his hands softly on my shoulders.

“Princess, I am sorry if I fucked up and never said the words. I didn’t realize how badly you needed to hear them.”

I nodded my head because I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.

“Look at me.” Nick’s hands moved and one came up to my chin, raising my eyes to his while the other rested on our child nestled between us. “I love you Ansley Grant, I love you more than life itself and I will spend every day of my life giving you everything you need.”

“Are you sure you’re not just saying that because I said I want to leave, or because of the baby?”

He laughed again. “I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life. You are it for me, Ansley. I’ll admit I never saw myself married with kids, but when I lost you I knew if I ever found you again I’d give you anything you wanted. Then I find you pregnant with my daughter, and my entire world shifted on its axis. You’re it, princess, you, little bit and however many more of these babies you’ll give me.”

I didn’t bother waiting for him to make a move, but instead stepped forward and wrapped my arms around him. His warmth and the scent of pine that always surrounded him comforted me in ways I couldn’t explain. Nick’s hands moved up and down my back until he reached for my chin and tilted it up to catch my lips in a gentle kiss.

“Ansley, I don’t want you to ever doubt how I feel about you. I love you because of who you are. I just happen to love our daughter just as much.”

Nick stepped back and got down onto his knees, cradling my bump in his hands.

“Did you hear all that, baby girl? Your mama is crazy if she thinks I’m letting either of you go. You and her are mine forever because without you, I’d never know true love again.” She rewarded him with a small kick, and his face lit up.

“I think she approves,” I said with a laugh.

“Can we go to bed now, or do I have to lock the doors and throw away the key to make sure you don’t sneak out in the middle of the night?”

“I won’t leave Nick. The only reason I thought I had to was because loving you without being loved in return was too painful.”

He stood and helped me back to the bed, and crawled in behind me. “You’ve always been loved, Ans, and you always will. Not just by me, but by my family and our children. You will have so much love in your life you won’t know what to do with it.”

When his lips met mine this time, it was with renewed passion. I was so tired from the day, the stress and the fear of losing him, yet that pull deep inside me, the need I always had for him, kicked into high speed.

“Nick, make love to me, please.”

He smiled against my lips, “That’s the plan, princess.”

His hands ran over my body and he slipped off my tank top and sleep pants as I reached for his cock. It was warm and hard beneath his pants and I wanted to taste him. “Take these off.”

Nick got up and threw my clothes and his onto the chair by the bed. I couldn’t pull my eyes away as he came back to me. He had trimmed his beard before we left for his parents, so I could see the sharp line of his jaw better than before. His chest was covered in soft short hair that I wanted to run my hands over, but as I moved down his body, the V of his hips led straight for what I needed. He was thick, hard and ready for me and I had to admit I was ready for him too.

I slid my hand over my bump, trying to reach myself, but failed. He smiled down at me. “Do you need some help, princess?”

“I’m too big,” I whined with a laugh.

“No, my love, you aren’t nearly big enough. We still have a few more weeks before she will be here, so in the meantime, I’ll take care of that for you.”

He reached for my legs, hooking them over his arms as he slid me down to the side of the bed and got to his knees.

“There’s my pretty pussy, I’ve missed you,” he said as his warm breath teased my cunt.
