She squinted up at me. “So you're not mad?”

“No, I'm not mad. I’m thrilled you’re pregnant, Felicity. I can’t wait to have a baby with you.” I bent down and kissed her.

As I pulled back to look at her, she smiled. “Really?”

“Really. I'm sorry you felt you couldn't tell me sooner.” I stopped to recall the events of the past two weeks. “But I understand why—I was pulling away from you. It explains a lot, actually. But none of that matters now. What matters is that we're going to be together. You, me, the girls… and now a new baby.” I grinned at her.

“But you said you didn't want any more kids.”

I shrugged. “That was before I could admit what you meant to me. I was afraid to commit. And if I'm being honest, I was afraid of getting hurt and disappointed again. But a very wise soul helped me to see how stupid that was.”

“Who was that?”

“My eight-year-old.”

Felicity laughed. “Eva really is some kind of sage.”

I nodded, my mind racing. “She and Lily are going to be so happy to have a new baby brother or sister.” I took her hand in mine. “But most of all, they're going to be thrilled that you’re staying with us.”

“They couldn't be any happier than me.” She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around my neck. I lifted her off the ground, spun her around, and kissed her once more.

As I set her back on her feet, she gave me a playful smile.

“Are you interested in getting out of here to celebrate?”

Felicity's new employee assured her she could handle the store alone for a couple of hours. Katie waved us off as Felicity promised to check her phone in case Katie needed help.

I laced my fingers through Felicity's as I drove her back home. To our home.

Inside, I carried her upstairs to my bedroom. Between kisses, we undressed each other. I lay her down on the bed. Moving my hands over her soft belly and hips, I kissed her delicate skin. I had missed the touch of her body so much.

“I'm already starting to get a bit of a belly,” she said self-consciously.

I planted a line of kisses down her abdomen. “You're more beautiful than ever, Felicity.”

She smiled and reached out for me. “Come up here.”

I lay on top of her, careful not to crush her. She bent her knees and allowed me to settle between her soft thighs. Cradling her head in my hands, I kissed her deeply.

She moaned and lifted her hips. The soft folds between her legs were already dripping wet, and she rubbed herself against the length of my erection.

“You have no idea how horny I've been,” she said. “I guess these pregnancy hormones are really kicking in now.”

I grinned. “I'll be happy to be of service whenever you need.”

Lacing her fingers behind my neck, she clung to me.

“I need you inside me,” she murmured.

She was so wet that I only needed to position the head of my cock at her entrance and with one push, I slipped inside. She closed her eyes for just a moment as I entered her, then she held my gaze as I pushed all the way in.

I paused when I was fully inside her tight heat. “I love you so much, Felicity.”

“I love you too, Cooper.”

She wrapped her legs around my hips as I began to move inside her. A tiny whimper escaped her lips, and I paused.
