She hummed curiously and scooted off the bed.
“Sweetheart?”
“Hold on, let me see.I think I know what this is.”
Her voice was light, almost giddy, and he rested on his elbows and watched as she walked to the bathroom and turned on the light.
“I’ll be damned,” she whispered.
“What?”
She turned off the light and stood in the doorway.“I definitely know what it is.”
“Okay?What is it?”He sat up fully.
“It’s a jaguar flush.”Before he could ask her to explain, she continued.“It happens almost immediately when a jaguar becomes pregnant.”
Her words sank in.
He leaped out of bed, skidding to a halt in front of her.“Are you…are you sure?”
The flush across her collarbone was more visible in the light from the window as the sun rose.
“Well, we haven’t exactly been taking steps to prevent pregnancy,” she said with a smile.“It was bound to happen, I’m just a little surprised it’s so soon.”
He exhaled slowly, his world spinning as his stallion let out a gloriously happy whinny.“Are you happy?”
“Oh yes,” she said, her eyes suddenly shining.“Are you?”
“Are you kidding me?My soulmate is pregnant.There’s only one thing that could make this better.”
“What’s that?”
He pulled her close, their bodies pressing together.“That you know how much I love you.Because I do.I was just thinking about when the perfect time to tell you would be.And I think it’s right now.I love you, Fallon.”
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she brushed her lips over his.“I love you too, Avi.”
He lowered his head and kissed her, his mind turning as he thought about all that had happened since they’d met.He kissed his way down her neck and gave her a gentle bite on her throat.
“I have to pee.”
He lifted his head abruptly.“What?”
“Well, I feel like you’re maybe wanting to get into some sexy times, and I’m all for that, honestly,” she said with a laugh.“But also, a pregnancy test would be nice if we had one…or could go get one?I have to pee now, though.So…time might be of the essence.”
“Iwasdefinitely thinking about sexy times,” he said.“I think Tris does have some tests.I’ll go poke around and see if I can find one.If not, I’ll ask her.”
“Okay, I’ll do my best to hold it, but don’t walk too slowly.”
He gave her a kiss with a laugh and hurried to grab his jeans off the floor, then he blew her a kiss and left the bedroom, taking the stairs to the kitchen.
He found Tris putting cinnamon rolls in the oven.
“Morning,” she said.“You’re up early.”
“Morning.So I’m going to just blurt this out: do you have a pregnancy test?”
Tris’s eyes went wide.“Oh!Yes, I sure do.I ordered some to keep here and also at my house.They’re in the pantry and also the half bath down here.”She walked quickly to the pantry and disappeared inside, returning with two thin boxes.She handed them over.
