“This morning,” she murmurs into my chest as she burrows herself further into me.
“That why you were acting weird, you could’ve told me,” I tell her between kisses to the top of her head.
“I’m sorry I just didn’t think you would have been happy about it.” Pulling back some she stares up at me. It’s crazy to me how small she is against me.
“Why wouldn’t I have been happy Pixie? You know you’re my world. This baby doesn’t change that, not one bit. Now tell me what the doctor said and when is your next appointment?” I demand. I refuse to let my girl go through this alone. Not any aspect. I’ll be there not just for her but for our kid as well.
And I won’t ever let my past become my future.
Chapter Four
Jamie
I should have known Chaz wouldn’t let me keep anything from him. Or at least something like this but that doesn’t mean he has any idea about the other part of what’s going on. And after speaking with Doctor Taylors I’m sure I’ll need to tell him.
I’m hopeful at least I won’t have to. In fact, I think I may keep that to myself for as long as I can. My sister and grandma don’t need to know and neither does Chaz. I want to enjoy being able to carry my baby without scaring anyone.
Besides if all goes well, I’ll be able to raise this child right next to Chaz.
Giving him a smile, “Well, I go back in a month but as of right now I’m seven weeks along.” Reaching in my bag I grab the image from the ultrasound they’d done before I left. Pointing at the little blob on the right side, “He or she will be here before we know it,” I whisper.
Keeping my gaze on Chaz I smiled to myself as he lifts the picture from my hand to get a better look. “I’m gonna be a dad,” he murmurs more to himself than anything.
“Yea Mr. Broody, we’re gonna be parents and kick ass at that,” I joke.
“Damn right Pixie this kid is gonna have the best parents, I swear on my life I’ll always be there for them. They won’t be hurt,” he declares pulling me flush against his body. Leaning down he takes my mouth in a heartfelt kiss.
“Dude knock that shit off, we got work to get done,” Lex calls out from behind me, interrupting our moment.
“Shut the hell up man, my Pixie just gave me awesome news and I’ll fuckin’ kiss the hell out of her all I want right now. You’re lucky I don’t leave y’all asses here to fend for yourselves,” Chaz grumbles as he pulls me into him.
“Figures with the way you two go at each other all the time it was gonna happen sooner or later. Shit I lost fifty bucks on y’all after our high school graduation.” Lex laughs as he comes over to us. “Congrats Jay.”
“Wait a minute what are you talking about losing fifty bucks on us?” I ask looking from Chaz to Lex only to find the rest of the guys standing with him.
“Well you see we figured one of us would be right eventually when it comes to you two,” Tanner laughs pushing Lex out of the way.
“Then who won the bet?” Crossing my arms over my chest I move into my stance that tells them I’m not playing. I mean really can they be more annoying placing a bet on when Chaz would knock me up.
“That would be me,” Chaz gloats as he surrounds me in his arms.
“Seriously?” I ask tilting my head to the side to see him.
“Yep, I know your grandma wanted us to wait until we were twenty but figured she wouldn’t say shit if you were pregnant,” giving me his shit-eating grin. “Hey least we got a hundred and fifty bucks to put towards getting what Thumper needs.”
“Thumper?” He did not just say that.
“Yea Thumper, figured we have sex like rabbits might as well stick with the theme.” I swear if my face could turn a brighter red it would right now.
“Damn man you just made her turn as red as a radish.” Lex jokes.
“Alright, alright how about we get back to work?” Hunter suggests.
“Sounds good to me, I need to finish the filing from yesterday and we also have an order coming in this afternoon. Oh, I forgot to mention that new bar opening up in town is gonna have spots on Friday and Saturday nights for live music,” I state while moving towards my desk.
“I know exactly what you’re talking about. I saw the owner of the bar the other day, she’s fuckin’ hot as hell. She’s got that badass rocker chick vibe. Think I heard her say her name was Kenny,” Tanner says.
“Yeah her name’s Kenny, she was going around passing out flyers for a grand opening.” Reaching for the flyer I show it to them.
“Holy shit, this would be awesome to check out,” Lex yells out jumping around. I swear if I didn’t know better, I’d say he was constantly high on some shit. But Lex is always like this because of his ADHD.
“Damn right we should talk to this chick,” Hunter joins in.
“Well then let’s give her a call later after we finish getting shit done around here. Maybe invite her down to listen to us play.” Chaz suggests.
Looking on at the four guys I can’t help the smile. They have worked so hard getting to where they are. I mean in all honesty they could go as far as getting a real record deal and going big but that’s not them. They want to keep it about the music, not the money.
Through the rest of the afternoon as the guys work together, I finish what I need to get done then start looking into all things baby. The more I research the more anxious I
