“Chase was chewing on this. Should I throw it away?” she asks, coming closer with something in her hand.

“What is it?” I narrow my eyes.

She hands it over, and when I realize it’s a pregnancy test, I look at Everleigh, who’s as white as a ghost. I swallow hard as I read the word PREGNANT on the small screen.

“Sadie, can you give us a minute, please?” I ask, and she nods, walking back to Everleigh’s bedroom.

“I guess that’s my Christmas gift to you,” she says softly. “I was gonna tell you tonight over a romantic dinner.”

I blink hard in disbelief. “Come here.”

She moves closer, and I pull her onto my lap. When she wraps her arm around my shoulders, I place a palm over her stomach. “We’re having a baby.”

“Are you happy about that?”

I cup her face, bringing her mouth to mine, and passionately kiss her. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more happy in my life, sweetheart. Since we weren’t trying, I’m surprised but not at all disappointed.”

When tears spill out, she wipes her cheeks, and I hold her tighter. “I haven’t had much time to process it, but as soon as I read the test, I was beaming with excitement.”

“Since this was our first Christmas as husband and wife, I wanted it to be perfect. One you’d never forget, but I think you’ve just made this the best one for me.”

She presses her mouth to mine. “For both of us.”

“I love you.” I slide my tongue between her lips.

“I love you too,” she murmurs.

“Do we still get to use the anal lube?” I ask, waggling my brows.

She bursts out laughing, then smacks my arm. “I’ll be surprised if we ever have sex again with Chase, the cock blocker.”

“Thank God we’ve decided to crate train him. He’ll get used to it soon and won’t whine all night long. I hope.” I blow out a breath.

“At least we’ll be ready for those sleepless nights. That right there is our baby in training. By the time ours is here, we’ll be pros.”

“That’s one way to look at it.”

She kisses me softly. “Don’t worry, Daddy. We’ve got this.”

I arch a brow, already loving how that sounds. “Daddy? Can you use that in bed from now on?”

“Tell me where you hid my vibrator, and I’ll scream it all night long,” she taunts.

The corners of my lips tilt up. “He’s in the freezer.”

“Archer! I’m not gonna be able to use it now.”

I snake my arm around her waist and smack her ass. “You made a vow to gimme all your orgasms. I’m just making you keep that promise.”

She narrows her eyes. “Does this mean no jerking off in the shower?”

“Haven’t done that since the day I got you, baby.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re insatiable.” I wink. “And I only wanted to experience it with you.”

She shakes her head in disbelief. “You are way too damn sweet for your own good.”
