“What did you say to Caleb?” Aidan asked the moment he walked through the door.

I slowly closed the lid of my laptop and looked at him. “Hi, honey, how was your night at work? My night was pretty uneventful. I fell down the mommy blog pregnancy rabbit hole, and now I’m terrified and over loaded with information. I would drink wine to cope, but I can’t now. So I’ve been drinking herbal tea like it’s going out of style, and now I have to pee like an old man in the middle of the night.”

Aidan closed the front door, his face softening when he looked at me. “Google is a dangerous thing.”

I gestured to the stack of books my mother had purchased for us. “I didn’t know where to start, so at one point, I had three books open and one resting on my face—I was hoping to learn by osmosis.”

He came over and plopped down onto the couch next to me, his face lined with exhaustion. “And how did that go?”

“It doesn’t work.” I snuggled up against him. “Was he impossible to work with tonight?”

Aidan sighed. “At one point, I told him to take a walk. He was in a piss mood all night. I jumped behind the bar.”

“No wonder you’re late getting home,” I muttered. “I came in earlier to see him.”

“So he said.”

“And yet he didn’t tell you what we talked about?”

“Oh, I can guess,” he remarked dryly, his hand rubbing up and down my arm. “Annie?”

I nodded against him. “I might’ve been too honest with him.”

“In what way?”

“I told him he never really understood her, and he kept trying to change her.”

“Ouch. That was honest of you.”

“Do you agree with me?”

“I don’t know, Sibby. Guys talk differently than girls.” He gently extracted himself from my side to lean over and kick off his shoes.

I rubbed my hand up and down his back, and instead of sitting up, he sprawled across my lap.

“How’s Pierogi?” he asked, turning his head so he could kiss my belly.

“Firmly lodged in my uterine wall.” He chuckled and then it turned into a moan of pleasure as my fingers plowed through his dark hair. “I didn’t mean to piss him off.”

“He was already pissed off. He kept a pretty good lid on it, but tonight, you blew that lid off.”

“Maybe I’ll just steer clear of him, then,” I said.

Aidan laughed, his breath teasing my shirt. “He just wants to be pissed, so I’m letting him be pissed.”

“Sometimes that’s all you can do.”

“How’s she doing?” Aidan asked.

“I don’t want to talk about them,” I whispered.

“Oh?” He rolled over onto his back. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Ice cream sundaes.”

“I love it when you talk dirty.”

I nudged him off my lap. “Buy you a banana split?”

“You’re really going to make me put shoes on after I just got home from work?”

“A happy wife is a happy life,” I reminded him. “Come on, my treat.”
