CHAPTER 8

I couldn’t have heard her right. I couldn’t. Time stopped along with my heart and my lungs. No way had Sasha just told me that there was a baby growing inside her. No fucking way. Adrenaline jump-started me again and I lifted her off my chest and stared at her belly, then her face. I couldn’t keep the grin off my lips. “You’re not serious.”

“I am.”

I lifted her straight up in the air and kissed her stomach gently. “Hello?” I whispered.

She laughed and squirmed. “Put me down.”

As gently as I could, I lowered her back to my lap and the tears gathered in my eyes again, but good ones this time. “Sasha, baby—I—holy shit.”

She laughed again. “Yeah, that was kind of how it went for me too.”

Her fingers were trembling and I tucked them between mine and brought them to my lips, cradling them like they were breakable. I felt like she’d turned into a fragile glass statue in an instant. A baby. Holy fuck.

Then a tremendous fear slithered up my spine. I’d been a complete douche to her and she’d have every right to have slept with someone else, but oh for the love of all that was musical I didn’t want this baby to be anyone else’s. I needed it to me mine. Hers. Ours.

I scratched my ear and tried to figure out how I could delicately phrase the question without getting the piss slapped out of me.

She slid her fingers past my lips and to the sides of my jaw, then waited for me to lift my gaze to hers. “It’s yours.”

A gust of air rushed from my lungs and tears slid down my cheeks again. Holy shit, if anyone saw what a fucking bawl baby she’d turned me into tonight they’d never buy another record from us. But fuck them. Fuck all of them. I didn’t need anything from any of them. I needed Sasha.

I covered her hands with mine. “I love you more than you will ever know.”

Tears pooled at the corners of her eyes and I kissed them away. I couldn’t handle her tears, happy ones or sad. “I will never do anything to make you cry again, Sasha. I mean it. No more drinking, no more drugs, no parties, no smoking, no drinking. None of it.”

“I don’t want you to give up your life. Your career is barely taking off.” She kissed me. “But I’m okay with you quitting all of the other stuff if you want.”

“I do want. I’m doing this for us, for you.” My hand dropped to her stomach. “For you.” Tears dropped to my hand and I didn’t know if they were mine or hers, but it didn’t matter. We were here and together and we’d figure everything else out.

“I do want to keep recording, but we can delay the tour, or never tour. We can become YouTube sensations and never leave the house.”

She laughed. “I think I’m okay with you leaving the house. And touring.” She slid her hands through my hair and pulled my forehead against hers and closed her eyes.
