“Is there a special reason for that?” he asks in that smoldering voice of his that got me pregnant the first time around.
“Mm-hmm,” I say, nodding and rolling my bottom lip under my teeth.
His expression shifts, going from hesitancy to joy.
“Are you sure?” he asks, pulling up a little and looking straight at me with incredulous eyes.
“Yes. I’m pregnant.”
He gives me a gleeful smile as he opens his arms and pulls me against his chest, covering me in kisses.
Emotions simmer in my heart and a deep hunger for him that has never died down.
“You’re making me so happy,” he says quietly, and I kiss him in response.
“So are you.”
Within moments, we love each other with passion and care, living the next chapter of our lives.
There is hope.
There’s always hope that good things will eventually find us, and we are living proof of that.
