Chapter 289
I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or disappointed. I always wanted kids but not right now and yet I couldn’t stop the little feeling of sadness in the pit of my stomach. I guess in my head I thought the test was going to be positive.
“I told you”. I handed him the test before taking a seat back on the couch.
It wasn’t our time to have a baby and I was okay with that.
A sigh fell from his lips as he placed his hand on my knee. “I thought I was right, but I guess there’s always next time p>
I placed my hand on top of his. “We have all the time in the world to have a baby. I want you all to myself a little while longer p>
Some may see that as being selfish, but I didn’t care. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I wanted to spend as much time together as possible. I wanted to share the world with him before we settled down and even thought about having kids.
We would have our moment but until then it was all about us.
“I know babe I just thought”. He paused.
“I know”. I whispered. “And when the times comes, you’ll be the best dad p>
We had never stayed up this late. I was always an early bedder and Jake always had some sort of business to take care of before ending the day. But tonight, we sat watching movies enjoying each other’s company. Just us. No interruptions.
We talked, we laughed. We were happy.
A yawn escaped my mouth. We were halfway through Jumanji, and I wasn’t sure I was going to see the end. My eyes were heavy and sore because I was fighting sleep.
“I think it’s bedtime baby p>
I nodded my head. “I think you’re right”. I stretched out my arms as another yawn escaped my mouth. “Are you coming up p>
“I’m going to lock up and then I’ll be up p>
The doors were already locked. He done this before we settled onto the couch, but I know he was double checking and making sure all the doors and windows were secure.
“Okay”. I got to my feet. “Give me a kiss”. I would probably be sleeping as soon as my head hits the pillow.
He kissed me, his arms wrapping around my waist. I lay my head against his chest and closed my eyes. We rarely did anything like this, so it was nice to spend time together and just be by ourselves. “Would you hate me if I tell you I wanted you to be pregnant p>
I knew he did. I saw the disappointment on his face when he looked at the test. He wanted to be a dad; I would never hate him for that.
“Of course, not but I’m not ready to be a mom p>
“I know baby”. He kissed the top of my head. “One day though p>
I cleaned the full house. I couldn’t stop. It was the first thing I thought about when I woke this morning. I wanted everything to be fresh and clean.
I started with the bathroom and worked my way around and was now finishing up in the living room. It wasn’t even noon yet. Jake was still in bed; I didn’t want to wake him because he rarely had a lie in.
I fluffed the cushions before lighting a candle. I couldn’t stop grinning. Everything smelled fresh and I felt good. I went into the kitchen and made myself some tea. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I didn’t drink tea and yet I wanted some. Ever since Jake mentioned it yesterday.
I heard movement upstairs before hearing the water running and then there was a knock on the front door.
Flowers.
Someone had sent me flowers with no note.
Weird.
The last time I received flowers they were from Tommy. My stomach twisted at the thought of him. I closed the door. I wasn’t sure what to do with them. Unless they were from Jake. Maybe they weren’t for me.
I placed them on the kitchen table. Who sends flowers without a note attached? Are you just supposed to guess who they’re from.
“Do I have competition?”. He grinned before placing a kiss on my cheek. “Who sent the flowers p>
I shrugged. That answered my question about him sending them. I didn’t want to worry and yet I couldn’t help but think the worst. “Maybe they’re for you p>
“Doubt that princess. Did they have a note attached p>
“If there was a note, don’t you think I would have said?”. I snapped.
Oh.
