Page 70 of If You Love Me

“You can look, but why do I feel like you’re plotting on me?”

I laughed. “Maybe a little.” Cupping her face, I leaned in to kiss her. “I love you.”

“I love you, too, baby. What’s in the bag? Is it something for me?”

I chuckled. “You’re spoiled. Why would you assume it’s for you?”

“Because I’m spoiled.”

I shook my head. “Yes, it’s for you.”

She snatched the bag from my hands and eagerly opened it. A frown appeared on her pretty face when she pulled out the pregnancy test.

“What am I gonna do with this?”

“Take it, love.”

“Tyrion, I’m not pregnant.”

“Nah, you definitely are. I’ve had too many symptoms for you not to be. I wasn’t a believer in that shit until I started feeling it for myself. Go on and take your pretty ass in the bathroom and pee on this stick.”

She rolled her eyes. “You’re being dramatic.”

“I’m being serious, love. Come on.”

She sighed and turned down the eye on the stove. Picking her up, I tossed her over my shoulder and carried her to the bathroom while she giggled and playfully beat on my back.

“Don’t drop me!”

I slapped her ass. “Ain’t nobody gon’ drop you, woman.”

Once we got to the bathroom, I placed her on her feet and took a seat on the counter. She shook her head as she pulled down her pants and underwear, then sat on the toilet. I watched as she opened the box and read the instructions before uncapping the stick and peeing on it. Placing the cap back on, she set it on the counter and cleaned herself up.

“You’re just wasting your time,” she said, flushing the toilet. She moved to the sink to wash her hands.

“Well, we have five minutes to find out,” I said, reaching out to rub her belly. “I think it’s a girl.”

She laughed. “Tyrion! You can’t be serious right now.”

“I’m dead ass. My baby is gonna have my baby. What do you think of the name Summer?”

“You’ve really worked this out in your head?”

“I did. I’ve been thinking about it all day.”

Evenie palmed her face. “Summer?”

“Summer Rose Lewis. We can’t just call her Summer. It has to be Summer Rose. That’s her name.”

She looked at me and poked her lip out. “You’re really ready to be a daddy?”

“The more I think about it, the more excited I get.” I pulled her between my legs and rubbed her flat stomach. “We’re gonna be a family, whether it’s in the next five minutes or five years, I can’t wait to share that with you.”

“When you say things like that, how am I not supposed to give you these bigheaded ass babies?”

I laughed. “I grew into my head, and they will too.”

I glanced over at the stick when it caught my eye. It had barely been two minutes and there were already two prominent lines. I snatched it up for a closer look. A grin spread across my face as I turned it for Evenie to see.
