Sofia: Hey, can you come over tomorrow when your shift is over? I need to talk to you about something.
His reply comes quickly.
Rhett: Of course, baby. Everything okay?
I quickly type back.
Sofia: Everything's fine, just need to talk. See you in the morning. Love you.
Rhett: Love you too. See you tomorrow.
I set my phone down, my heart racing. This is really happening. By this time tomorrow, Rhett will know he's going to be a father. The thought both excites and terrifies me.
I try to distract myself for the rest of the evening, but my mind keeps drifting to thoughts of the baby and how Rhett might react. I toss and turn most of the night, unable to fully quiet my anxious thoughts.
In the morning, I wake early after a restless night's sleep. I shower and get dressed, then pace around my apartment as I wait for Rhett to arrive. Every minute feels like an eternity.
Finally, I hear a knock at my door. Taking a deep breath to steady myself, I go to answer it, and feel like I’m going to vomit.
I open the door to find Rhett standing there with a concerned look on his face. “Hey, baby,” he says, stepping inside and pulling me into a hug. “What's going on? Your text had me worried.”
I hug him tightly, breathing in his familiar scent. “Let's sit down,” I suggest, leading him to the couch.
We settle onto the couch and Rhett takes my hands in his. “Sofia, you're scaring me a little. What's wrong?”
I take a deep breath, my heart pounding. “Rhett, I... I'm pregnant.”
His eyes widen in shock. For a long moment he's silent, and I feel panic rising in my chest. Then slowly, a smile spreads across his face.
“We're having a baby?” he asks softly.
I nod, tears welling up in my eyes. “Y-Yes.”
He grabs me and pulls me into his arms. “You’re having my baby? I couldn’t think of anything better.”
I pull back to look at him. “Really?”
Rhett cups my face in his hands, his eyes shining with emotion. “Really, Sofia. I know this is unexpected and maybe sooner than we planned, but I love you. The idea of having a baby with you... it's amazing.”
Relief washes over me, and I let out a shaky laugh. “Oh thank God. I was so scared you'd freak out.”
He pulls me close again, kissing the top of my head. “I'm not going to lie, I'm a little freaked out. But in a good way, you know? We're going to be parents.”
I nod against his chest, my own emotions overwhelming me. “We are. There's a little person growing inside me right now.”
Rhett's hand moves to rest gently on my still-flat stomach. “Our baby,” he says softly, his voice filled with awe.

Rhett
I scoop Sofia up into my arms and carry her to her bed, setting her on her feet beside it. Ever so slowly, I pull off her shirt, and then her pants. Taking a second to kiss her flat stomach. She strokes a hand over my hair as I pull her panties down. I pick her up again and lay her on the bed.
Spreading her legs, I lean in, licking her pussy with one swipe of my tongue. Sofia cries out and that’s all I need before I attack her like a man starving. Eating her out until she comes all over my face.
I bring her down from her orgasm and begin to kiss up her body, stopping to suck a nipple into my mouth. Sofia moans and grips my hair in her hands.
“Oh my God, they’re so sensitive,” she moans as I suck the other into my mouth. She continues to writhe beneath me.
