"What? Why?" He was smiling down at me.
"I want it to be a surprise."
He nodded. "Okay."
"It's too soon to tell either way," the doctor said. "We can verify that closer to halfway through the pregnancy. If you change your minds and want to know, that is. But everything looks good. You should make an appointment with your gynecologist in a month or so. They'll be able to give you a more precise due date and make sure everything is progressing normally. Did you want a print out of this?"
"Yes," James said immediately.
She smiled and pressed a button on the keyboard.
"We're going to be parents," James whispered to me. He pressed his forehead against mine.
I put my fingers in his hair. "You're going to be a great dad."
He laughed and placed a soft kiss against my lips. "God I hope so."
Devotion - Chapter 38
Saturday
It was late when we finally left the hospital. There was something so wonderfully normal about being in the back seat of our car with Ian behind the wheel. It made the past few weeks seem like a terrible nightmare. Except for one thing.
I leaned my head against James' shoulder. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being so excited about this."
"You really thought I wouldn't be?" He ran his fingers through my hair.
"I was nervous that you might not be. And I really didn't mean for it to happen, I..."
"Penny." He tilted my face toward his. "We're lucky to both be alive. This is a blessing."
"I love you. I love you so much, James."
He responded with a kiss. Soft and slow. The kind of kiss that builds in the pit of your stomach and spreads in every direction until your whole body tingles with desire. I grabbed the back of his neck to deepen the kiss. I had been so worried the past few weeks. I hadn't felt this fire since our wedding day.
"You have no idea how badly I want you right now," he whispered against my lips. "All I did was dream of you. All I ever do is dream of you."
"Let's pretend it's our wedding night. Let's pretend nothing bad happened." I felt like we had been robbed of one of the best moments of our lives.
"Baby, I'm already one step ahead of you." He opened up the door. I hadn't even realized that the car had stopped. James leaned over and unbuckled my seatbelt. "Come with me." He stepped out of the car and put his hand out for me.
I grabbed his hand and let him help me out of the car. We were standing outside the hotel we visited the first time he had brought me to the city. It was also where Mason and Bee lived. But I had a feeling we weren't here to see them.
"What are we doing here?"
"Come with me."
We walked hand in hand up the front steps and into the ornate entrance.
The concierge immediately stepped out from behind his desk. "Right this way, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter."
I glanced up at James, but he wasn't giving anything away. He just smiled down at me as we followed the concierge. I heard the music before we reached the door.
"Our song?"
