I wait patiently as it all sinks in, and a smile slowly spreads across his face.

“We’re going to be parents. This is… fucking amazing.”

In seconds flat, Sutton is kissing me and twirling me around. When he finally sets me on the floor, my hand caresses his face.

“Are you sure you’re okay with all this?”

“Even if I wasn’t, it’s not like I have much choice here, Kitty Kat.” He pauses. “I’m scared shitless. I want to be a good dad, but I didn’t have the greatest example.”

“Sometimes, knowing what not to do is as good as knowing what to do. For what it’s worth, I think you’re going to be an amazing dad.”

“Fuck, this is… this is crazy. I just…” He wipes his hands over his face. “I wasn’t expecting this.” His smile broadens into a sexy, knowing grin. “I guess I should have. We’ve been busy this past year.”

“And I think we should get busy right now,” I say, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“As much as I would love that, I want to give you your present, too.”

He presses a kiss to my forehead, then grabs his guitar.

“Kitty Kat, this one’s for you.”

Double or Nothing

Life’s a gamble, but I’m not a betting man.

When it comes to you, though, I’ll take the chance.

When it comes to us, I’m all in.

It’s double or nothing in this life we live.

I was afraid I lost you.

Never again.

You’re all I need.

And I’m all in.

It’s double or nothing in this life we live.

When it comes to you, it’s double or nothing.

When it comes to us, we’re going to win.

Lead the way, baby.

It’s double or nothing, and I’m all in.
