Chapter Fifteen

ALEX

I’ve barely processed all this information, but I don’t care. The girl of my dreams is right here, in my arms, telling me we’re having a baby.

And that changes everything.

“There’s more,” she tells me.

I just want to hold her again, lie in bed with her, and hear her tell me she’s staying.

“There’s a lot we need to discuss,” she clarifies.

I nod in agreement.

Locking my fingers with hers, I lead her over to the bed and sit.

“Do you know when the baby is due?” I ask.

“End of July.”

It’s mid-February, so that means we still had time to figure everything out, which, if I had it my way, that’d be moving her ass here to be with me permanently.

“Do you know the gender?”

“Not yet. It’s too early.”

“Okay. Well—” I think of how to proceed, but River is quick to interrupt.

“I had this whole speech planned out, but everything I’ve been trying to plan has basically backfired, so I’m just going to come out and say it. I found out I was pregnant when I was eight weeks, so right before New Year’s. I didn’t drink that night, by the way. I was Natalie’s personal assistant in making sure she didn’t vomit in her sleep and choke to death. Since then, I’ve had a doctor appointment and ultrasound. I heard the heartbeat and even got an ultrasound picture.”

“Really?” My eyes widen. “Can I see?”

She smiles, proudly. “Of course.”

Retrieving her purse, she digs out an envelope where she’s stashed the pictures. She hands them over to me, and my heart beats wildly.

“I’ve never seen an ultrasound photo before, but I already know it’s the most perfect blob I’ve ever seen. She already looks so much like you.” I grin, studying the pictures.

She bursts out laughing, her head falling back between her shoulders as she releases a sweet, throaty sound. “It’s the sac, you fool. It’s too soon to see details. However…” She points her finger down at the photo. “You can see the tiny arm and leg buds.”

“Wow.” I sigh. “I can’t believe it.”

“Are you panicking?”

“No, the opposite actually. I always imagined I would if a girl told me she was pregnant, but with you—not one bit.”

She sucks in her bottom lip, gazing up at me with her stunning emerald eyes. “Honestly, it took me a couple weeks to really grasp that I was pregnant. I was shocked, to say the least, since I was on the pill and we used condoms. However, I’d been taking an antibiotic for my sinus infection, and apparently, it canceled out my birth control.”

“It can do that?” I gasp.

“Oh yeah, and I feel really stupid because I should’ve thought of that, but then we were using condoms, almost every time, but there’s still a small chance they’re not effective.”

“Jesus.”

“Yeah, I know.” She sighs, and I can tell her mind is racing. “So that brings me to why I’m here, aside from telling you the news of course. Once I found out, I contemplated on what my next step should be.
