REBECCA
I don’t know whether I should speak first or allow the sudden news to sink into his brain first. Steven stands before me in the doorway of the bathroom, staring down at the positive pregnancy test I just sprung onto him.
Steven rushes inside the bathroom with me as he shuts the door behind him. “Becca…is this what I think it is?” His eyebrow raises, watching me as I feel my cheeks heating up.
I nod slowly, scared of what he’s going to say next. I expected him to be stunned, but what if he doesn’t want this life anymore? Can I really raise two children on my own?
“Yes,” I say softly. My eyes lower to the tiled floor. “I’m pregnant. We are going to be parents again.” His expression remains stunned, but only for a short moment before his green eyes light up again.
He grabs me and lifts me into the air, spinning me around once before setting me back down on my feet. “Baby…this is great.”
I’m surprised that he’s so excited, yet not at the same time. Steven is a loving, caring, and understanding man. It’s one of the many reasons I fell for him all those years ago.
And he is such a great father already. This can be his chance to be there from the beginning. He leans forward and kisses me, putting his hand on my stomach. “This is just another brick on the path to a great life together as a family. What should we tell Damian?”
“I think that we should wait until later to tell him or anyone else,” I cut in. “Especially because right now, no one wants anything to do with us.”
He agrees and puts the test in the cabinet behind the mirror, out of reach of little hands. With his arm around my shoulders, we step out of the bathroom to find Damian sitting on the floor of the living room.
Smiling, he holds up a few rocks. “Look, Mommy! I found these for you. I also got a few pretty leaves.” Giggling, I kneel to get a better look.
“These are beautiful, thank you.” I pull him in for a tight hug. I have to cherish all the little moments I have with him before the new baby arrives. I know it’s going to be a good addition, but I’m going to miss it when it was just him and me.
It bonded us strongly, only having each other to rely on.
The evening turns to night, and after the eventful day Damian had with his father, it doesn’t take him long to fall asleep. It’s leaving some time for Steven and me to discuss our discovery further.
We nuzzle into the couch under a soft blanket while watching a movie. My head rests on his shoulder, and it’s the first time since moving in that it truly feels like home.
The movie is one of my favorites, about a little boy wanting a BB gun, but his family ultimately tells him how dangerous it is. I always found the ending to be adorable. He got his gift but ended up proving his mother right by breaking his glasses.
My parents would watch it every year when it would play on cable, but tonight, I’m not too interested in what’s playing. I’m more focused on the amazing man who is holding me.
Whether it be the hormones coursing through my veins or maybe his positive reaction to finding out the news of our new little one. Either way, the only thing on my mind is getting him naked.
My hand that rests on his T-shirt-covered chest slowly runs down his stomach and dips under to feel his skin. As I nonchalantly rub, I slowly work my way down to the band on his pj’s.
As lightly as I can, my finger runs across his sensitive skin under his waist, and he inhales roughly through his nose. “I take it you aren’t interested in the movie?” he comments with a knowing smile.
“How could I be when I have the sexiest man ever in arm’s reach?”
He rolls his eyes, brushing off my compliment with a chuckle, but he has no idea how much I truly believe what I said. He is the most perfect man in my eyes, so how can I not be attracted?
I expect him to throw a joke out, but instead, he slowly unties the string that holds his pants in place. His eyes never leave mine, silently inviting me to get as handsy as I please.
With one hand, I slide under his baggy pants, finding that he’s already halfway to a full erection, and I raise an eyebrow at him.
“What do you expect?” he asks. “With the most beautiful woman ever in arm’s reach…” I can’t hold back the laughter as my head falls onto his chest momentarily. Shaking my head, I put my focus back onto what I’m holding in my hand.
I don’t know why he gets me the way that he does, but anytime there’s a moment of relaxation, I can’t keep my hands to myself.
As I stroke his length under the blanket, his eyes close, and his head rests on the back of the couch. My eyes peek down the hall to make sure Damian is still in his room, sleeping and not sneaking around.
Once the coast is clear, I let go of him and lift the blanket. I slide down onto the floor in front of Steven and pull at his pj’s. His hips lift, allowing me to completely pull them off and free his now fully erect penis.
My body instantly heats up at the sight…and all the thoughts of what I want him to do with it. Leaning forward, I press my extended tongue against the bottom side, licking his entire length until I reach the tip.
