Page 85 of Accidentally in Love

“I love you,” I said to her again. “I love you with all my heart, and I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that before I knocked you up. I should have told you two years ago.”

She beamed and wrapped her arms around the back of my neck. “I love you too. I never thought I’d hear those words from you. Tell me again, please?”

“I love you,” I said again, giving her a kiss in between each word.

When I pulled away, she beamed and got a cocky little grin on her face. “You want to show me how much?”

I started unbuttoning my plaid shirt, and she bit her lip in anticipation. “Oh, you want me to bring your lumberjack fantasy to life, huh?”

She nodded. “Yeah, you’ve spent ALL morning chopping me wood. Let me make you feel better, baby.”

I threw my shirt to the floor. “I’ll show you some wood.”

“Yes, please!” she squealed with delight.

I certainly did, and then some.

Chapter Twenty-One

AVERY

Nolan stroked my belly while I lay on my back, naked in bed. Having that fight today sucked, but it was necessary to get everything out in the open.

“Wait…” I trailed off as the realization came to me.

“What’s up?”

I glared at him. “We were basically dating, and I still went on all those horrible dates?”

He chuckled beside me, the vibration of his chest shaking the bed. “Hey, I didn’t know either! Always worked out for me. You really never slept with any of them?”

I stuck out my tongue. “God, no, none of them ever made it past the first date. The dating game is rough.”

He kissed down my body and placed a gentle kiss on my belly. “You hear that, Peanut? If it wasn’t for you, mommy and daddy might have never figured it out.”

I smiled at him. I loved when he talked to my belly. Peanut was going to be showered with so much love between the two of us, I was practically vibrating with happiness over it.

He groaned when he laid on his back again.

“What’s wrong?”

“I think I overdid it with the wood today.”

“Baby!” I scolded.

He shrugged. “I didn’t know if it would snow again. I wanted to be prepared.”

I smoothed down his beard and ran a hand through his hair. “See, I love how you like to provide for me. Maybe you should soak in the tub.”

He gave me a funny look.

“What? It’s a nice tub,” I tried to convince him. “We could get in together, and you could make my boobs shiny.”

He cocked an eyebrow. “Okay, I’m listening.”

I laughed. “Men!”

I got out of bed and stretched. I went into the bathroom, started the water, and tested it to ensure it wasn’t too hot. Hot baths weren’t good for pregnant women, but it should be okay as long as I kept it to a certain temperature. Honestly, I think Nolan needed it more than me. I checked the temperature and got into the tub, sighing in relief at the feeling on my back.
