Page 89 of Some Saviors Can Break You

“Me?” he asked with an arched brow and that cocky grin she was growing to love more and more every time she saw it.

“No, not you,” she said, smacking his shoulder lightly. “Ourbaby.”

“Our baby? Is this the same lady who kept trying to convince me that it was too soon to move in with someone you’d only known a couple of weeks talking about having babies?”

“I don’t want to have a baby today.” She rolled her eyes at him, then gave him another smack for good measure. “But I wouldn’t mind having one in the semi-near future.”

“You know we can start working on that tonight. I hear it can take a few months to get pregnant, then it’s nine months until the baby actually arrives, I think that would qualify as the semi-near future.”

Were they really talking about having a baby sometime soon?

And was she really okay with that?

Florence was surprised to find that she was.

All her life she hadn't believed in love, had thought that it didn't exist that it was just make believe fluff that someone created to sell movies and books. Now she was completely rethinking that notion.

She was in love with Eli, she’s already agreed to move in with him, she knew he was just biding his time before he proposed, and now they were discussing babies, and instead of feeling like it was too soon she was just excited by the idea.

“Baby making is definitely going on the agenda for tonight,” she agreed, dragging his face to hers so she could kiss him.

“H-hmm,” someone cleared their throat behind them.

“Sorry, are we interrupting?” Susannah asked, smothering a laugh.

“Yes,” Eli replied with a groan.

“Raincheck number two?”

“Oh yeah.”

7:23 A.M.

“Rise and shine, princess,” Eli said, leaning down to kiss Florence awake.

“What time is it?” Florence groaned, rolling sleepily onto her side and refusing to open her eyes.

“Nearly seven-thirty,” he replied. He’d had meetings all day yesterday, closing a deal, and he hadn't made it home until just after midnight. It had been another two hours before Florence got home. He’d been waiting up for her, and she’d been buzzing with excitement because she’d just closed a case she and Jake had been working on for the last week, and it had been five before they’d finally made it to bed.

“I don’t want to get up yet,” Florence said, pulling the covers over her head.

“You have to,” he said with a laugh.

“Don’t. Today is my day off.”

That was exactly the point.

Today was Florence’s day off, and it was also their one month anniversary, there was no way they were spending the day sleeping. Of course he had some in bed plans for them, but that was for tonight, today he was going to spoil her rotten.

He’d been planning this day ever since they’d officially become a couple and done the whole him meeting her brother and her meeting his friends thing. At first he hadn't known what to do, he’d toyed with the idea of flying her back to Florence but then decided that she tended to enjoy when he made gestures rather than threw a bunch of money at something.

Eli was pretty sure he had planned the perfect day.
