CHAPTER 16

Motherfuckers think they can have their cake and eat it, too. Well, wrong bakery, bitch.

-Dory to Bram

BRAM

We were in Florida exactly twenty-three hours later.

“What do you think?” I asked as I pulled into the driveway of the house that we would be making our home for the next few months.

I looked over to find Dory’s mouth all but falling open.

“It’s… gorgeous!” she exclaimed. “Holy cow! You weren’t kidding about being on the water! Look at this!”

I looked at where she was directing and grinned. “Yeah, the water literally comes up to the back porch. It’s going to be extremely nice not to have to mow weekly.”

There was no grass at all anywhere around the house. It was all landscaped rock, which I assumed was because of the water.

Not that I really knew shit about tides.

I was born in East Texas. There wasn’t a fuckin’ tide to be seen anywhere near us.

“We need a boat,” she murmured. “Then again, I don’t know if I can handle a boat. I can barely handle the rocking of the car.”

Truer shit had never been said.

Her hyperemesis diagnosis from Dr. Proctor had all but taken care of with her excess intake of only sweets and the occasional healthy meal with the ingestion of nausea meds. We were handling it much better than we were last week at this time.

“I think I might like to have a boat,” I agreed with her assessment. “Though, just sayin’, but I’m not sure how well I would know how to navigate a whole ocean.”

She started to giggle, and I felt my heart pound.

God, her laugh.

Her smile.

Her everything.

I got out of the car to keep from snatching her to me and burying my face in her throat.

I tried to move very slow when it came to her. Tried to allow her to make all the moves.

But dammit, it was getting harder and harder as the days went on.

Hence getting out of the confines of the car while she was looking so damn cute.

When I rounded the front, it was to find her already standing on the ground, raising her arms up high over her head, causing her shirt to lift.

The tiniest of baby bumps swelled softly from her belly, and I couldn’t stop myself from reaching forward and skimming my finger from the top of her belly to the waistband of her pants. “It’s growing.”

She smiled softly at me, then distractedly looked toward the bay.

“A dolphin!” she cried, pointing.

I looked toward the bay to where she was indicating and saw a whole bunch of nothing.

That was, until a spray of water, followed by the rounded back of a marine mammal, crested the water.

Then another. And another. And another.

“Cool.” I smiled. “That’s gonna be fun to drink coffee and watch.”

“I wish I could have coffee,” she grumbled. “I didn’t realize how much I would miss it until I couldn’t have it anymore.”

“Decaf,” I suggested. “We can start doing that.”

That sounded like hell… but if it worked for her, well, then I would drink it.
