“What happened? Talk to me, I can’t fix it if I don’t know what’s wrong.”

She pulls away from me, and I reluctantly let her. Juniper wraps her arms around her torso like she’s unsure of herself. I keep my hands on her hips, needing her to still be close to me.

“Vincent, I’m pregnant.”

My world turns upside down.

Pregnant.

I can’t fucking believe it. I’m going to be a dad. She’s going to be the mother of my children. It’s everything I’ve been dreaming about for weeks.

So many emotions rush through me, overwhelming joy being at the top of the list. I look in her eyes and she seems unsteady, like she’s bracing herself for my reaction. Does she think I’m mad?

I kneel before her and unwrap her arms, kissing her belly, thinking of my kid growing inside of her at this very moment.

“Thank you, thank you, Juniper.” I look up at her beautiful face and she gives me a confused look. “Angel, I’m so goddamn happy. I want this so bad, I want you to have all of my babies.” I smile up at her, hoping to ease some of her worry.

“You do?” she squeaks out.

“Hell yes.”

I stand up and kiss away her tears, wrapping one arm around her waist to pull her closer while the other one goes to the nape of her neck to hold her in place while I move my mouth from her cheeks to her lips, claiming her and showing her just how much I want her.

I feel her wrap her arms around my waist and melt into me. I break the kiss to look at this perfect woman in my arms. She buries her face into my chest and I kiss the top of her head before resting my forehead there.

“I love you, I love our baby. I can’t wait to be the father of our kid.”

She smiles and kisses me sweetly, then tucks her face in my shoulder. I rest my head on hers again, rubbing comforting circles on her back.

“You are growing my baby inside of you!” I exclaim, almost yelling, still completely blown away by the news.

“Yup,” she says and laughs a little into my shirt.

“How are you feeling? Do you have morning sickness? Do we need to go to the doctor? Do you need to sit down? Can I get you anything?” A flood of questions washes over me and pours right out of my mouth. I was protective and attentive to Juniper before the pregnancy, and now it seems those tendencies have gone into overdrive.

She leans back and smiles. “I’m okay, I promise. I feel fine.” Juniper peers up at me with so much love in her eyes. “You’re really happy? You really want a family with me?”

I tuck a few strands of loose hair behind her ear and rest my forehead on hers.

“Youare my family. Forever. I can’t wait to share our love with this little one.” I take a step back and kneel in front of her again, kissing her belly and resting my head on it.

She tangles her fingers in my hair and pushes me down ever so slightly. I look up and grin at her, raising an eyebrow.

“Do you need something from me?” I ask with a chuckle.

“Yes, god, Vincent, I ache for you. All the time. They say pregnancy makes you horny… I’m so ready for you right now.”

I groan and ease her back into the wall. Lifting her dress up, I see she’s not wearing any panties.

“You weren’t kidding when you said you were ready,” I tease.

“A girl can hope…” She trails off into a moan as I kiss her swollen pussy lips.

I lift one of her legs over my shoulder to give me better access. I flatten my tongue and lick her from her entrance to her clit, circling her sensitive bundle of nerves.

“Ah, yes, Vincent.”

She rocks her hips into me, urging me on. I spear my tongue deep inside of her, tasting her honey straight from the source. Massaging her walls with my tongue, I reach out and begin rubbing her clit, winding her up till her muscles quiver with tension, bracing for sweet release.
