Chapter 13

Rose

I wake to the smell of bacon, and my stomach rumbles instead of pitching. Only, as soon as I stand up, I’m overwhelmed with the need to throw up.

I shower and brush my teeth before leaving the master bedroom.

Brody kept the food warm, and he looks so happy to see me.

“What’s all this?” I ask.

Brody surprises me by getting on his knees and hugging me, kissing my stomach. “I know I messed up. Not just by agreeing to go out with Kaden but because I asked you to put your life on hold, and you deserve better than that.”

I start to speak, but he stops me. His arms are wrapped around my middle, and he’s still on his knees, looking up at me. “I don’t blame you for not telling me about the baby, but I need you to give me another chance. I promise if you do, I’ll make sure you never regret it.” He kisses my belly again and then stands up and frames my face in his hands.

“Everything is going to be okay. I promise you that we are going to work this out. I love you. I love this baby. I’m going to finish out the season and then we’ll go from there.”

“You’re not quitting baseball,” I tell him. “We’ll work this out, Brody. I want your dreams to come true too. All of them.”

“But you’re my dream. You’re all I want,” he assures me, pressing his lips to mine. I could melt into the kiss and stay like this forever, but my mind won’t stop racing.

“Brody, promise me. Promise you won’t quit. You’ll resent me, and that’s not good for either of us. We can make this work. And with my business, I can travel some. We’ll still see each other.”

But he shakes his head. “I don’t want you traveling in your condition.”

Embarrassed, I feel guilty that he figured it out on his own instead of me telling him. A lone tear falls down my cheek. “I should have told you.”

“Yeah, you should have. But I know now, and that’s all that matters.” He kisses me again, acting as if he can’t get enough of me. “But from now on, no one’s walking away, Rose. We’re in this together. Every decision we make is going to be what’s best for our marriage and for our family. Promise me. Promise me you won’t leave me.”

I don’t have the words, but I nod my head, and that seems to be enough.

He plates out my food. “Now eat. I’m sure our baby is hungry.”

“Are you happy, Brody? I mean about the baby. We had talked about waiting…”

“I’m so happy. This is perfect, and I want us to have a family. Now, later—it doesn’t matter when. All that matters to me is it’s with you.”

We sit at the table, and both of us eat. We talk about the team, and we talk about my business. He’s excited for me, like I knew he would be. “And it’s something I can do almost completely online.
