Page 73 of Baby By my Best Friend's Daddy

“I don’t think Brad will come around,” she said somberly. “Especially not now we’re having a baby.”

“Well… then fuck him too,” I said flatly.

Rebecca smiled and looked out of the window at the city sliding by. Her hand rested on her lower belly—I didn’t know if she was even aware she was doing it.

“Okay,” she said.

“Okay?”

She nodded, and I smiled. My heart could just burst with joy.

REBECCA

Whenwearrivedhome,Landon opened the door and helped me out.

“I’m okay, Landon,” I said with a giggle. “Really. Now that we know what’s going on, and I’ve got those pills, it’s fine. The pain has gone, and the baby is safe.”

Landon nodded. “I’m just making sure everything is okay. I’m looking after you. No one ever looks after you, do they?”

I shook my head. He was right—it was a habit to look after everyone because that was what I did best. It was all my life was about.

It was heartwarming that Landon wanted to take care of me. Not because he had to but because he wanted to. He loved me.

We walked into the house, and Landon took my hand. He pulled me against him and kissed me.

“I love you, Rebecca,” he said through his kisses.

“I love you too,” I said. “More than you know.”

“If it’s half as much as I love you, I think I have an idea.”

I smiled against his mouth when he kissed me again. I loved the way he loved me. I loved the warmth that came with his kisses, with the way he looked at me as if I was the best thing that had ever happened to him.

“Come,” Landon said and led me to his bedroom. “You need to lie down.”

“I’m okay, Landon.”

“Yeah, you keep saying that, but I want you horizontal on my bed.”

Warmth washed over my body. “I like the sound of that.”

Landon chuckled and glanced at me with eyes filled with lust.

“We’re not going to do that right now.”

“Why not?” I asked.

“Because we were just at the hospital.”

“I just got you back,” I said when we reached the bedroom. I ran my hands down his chest. “I want all of you. Right now. I missed you. I thought we were done.” I tugged at his belt, and Landon clenched his jaw. His eyes slid to my lips.

“If anything hurts or feels uncomfortable, we’re stopping right away,” he said.

I nodded. “I’ll let you know.”

He kissed me again, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth, and I gasped, wrapping my arms around his neck.
