Dr. Rossi makes notes on his iPad. “Implantation is a possibility. Also, if you were handled roughly, it could have been cervical irritation. There is a number of possibilities. But the fetuses are well, good size, developing right on track, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“That can’t be right…” Gi says, her voice trailing off.
I stare at Gi, willing her to tell me whatever she needs to tell me before I have to ask. I fucked her for years with no protection at all, and nothing happened. There’s only one possible explanation.
Dr. Rossi hands her a towel to clean the jelly off her stomach and starts to put things away. “Congratulations, Mr. Demonio, Ms. Marino.”
“You ran the DNA testing?” I ask.
Gi looks like she’s in a daze and turns to Dr. Rossi for his answer.
Dr. Rossi frowns. “Mm, yes. Perhaps I should have led with that. Given the extremely high levels of hCG and AFP, it seemed clear that Ms. Marino was further along in her pregnancy or that there were multiple fetuses; the ultrasound confirms that both were true. Starting with your sample was the obvious choice. Of course, no further testing was needed.”
“What?! Tommy’s the father?!” Gi gasps and bursts into tears. “Tommy!”
My heart practically explodes in my chest.
Gi is sobbing, tears pouring down her face, and I leap over the couch, landing crouched down beside her. I hold my arms open to her, and she dives into me, knocking us both to the floor. Squeezing her tight, too tight, I kiss her all over her face as she laughs and cries at the same time.
“Fuck, Gi! Sweet girl, my sweet girl.” I can’t stop kissing her.
It never occurred to me in a million years that it could be mine, that she could have been pregnant before she left. We’ve been fucking without protection for so long and nothing—
“But…but how is this possible? Tommy’s infertile,” Gi says, pulling my arms around her tighter.
Dr. Rossi glances down at us on the floor. “No, he’s not.”
Gi looks at me for confirmation, but I can’t form words right now. She sits up. “Well, we didn’t use protection for years and never got pregnant, and clearlyI’mnot infertile, so tell me what happened there?”
Dr. Rossi picks up his iPad and scrolls through it, tapping here and there, reading then scrolling again. “I don’t have all my records here, but there is no doubt that Tommy is the father. As far as I can see, there is no indication that—” He cuts himself off, scanning, then thinking.
Seconds pass. I’m about to explode. “What?”
Looking at me over his glasses, Dr. Rossi raises his eyebrows. “You were taking cimetidine for years.”
“His heartburn medication?” Gi asks.
“Yes, from the age of 20 until…almost two years ago. We decided to take you off cimetidine to see if you still needed it.”
I nod. “You said it was normal for long-term med use to do a reset and see how you do without it.”
“It is. You never asked to start taking it again, though.” He looks from Gi back to me. “Simply put, the medication likely lowered your sperm count and/ or your sperm motility while you were taking it, making it less likely that Giovanna would get pregnant. Once we took you off that medication, over time, things went back to normal. And now you have your baby. Well,babies.”
Giovanna bursts into tears again, and I hold her tight, burying my face in her neck. “I can’t believe it,” she breathes. “Baby, I can’t believe it!”
Holding her close, I place my hand on her belly and kiss her hard, then harder.
“Mine,” I growl. “All. Fucking. Mine.”

Tommy
The door barely closes behind Dr. Rossi before my mouth is claiming hers, my hands desperately roaming her body.
She’s kissing me back, stopping just long enough to pull her shirt off before slamming her mouth into mine again, while I yank on her sweatpants and she tugs at mine. We manage to maintain connection, my lips on hers, while I get her completely naked, and I lower my sweatpants enough to release my cock.
Without wasting a second, she straddles me, planting her feet on the floor on either side of me. I groan as she spreads her pussy for me then seats herself fully on my cock, taking all of me at once.
