Page 9 of New Year, New Baby
“Thank you, sweetheart.I’ll have to get you something in return.I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy—”
“Oh, no need,” Nova trills, a smile on those beautiful features.“Thank you for seeing me on Christmas Day, Daddy.That’s gift enough.”
I nod, looking directly into her blue eyes.
“Okay, if you say so, sweetheart.I appreciate the gift.But let’s talk a bit before we get started.You’re how old?”
“Eighteen,” Nova says with a gentle smile, settling into the chair in front of my desk.She’s a vision to behold as her long golden locks stream over her shoulders, her delicate features like an angel.“I turned eighteen over the summer, remember?You got me that big strawberry cake from Fluff Bake Shop.”
I nod, as if trying to recall, although of course, I haven’t forgotten a single detail.
“Oh right, from your friend Emma’s business.The cake with the strawberry filling in the shape of a big strawberry.”
“Yes!”Emma smiles happily, revealing a dimple in her left cheek.“It was so wonderful, Hunter.Thank you.And Emma appreciates it too because that was before her boyfriend stepped in, so she needed to drum up business.But I think the store’s on sound footing now, with Mr.Stark’s backing, of course.”
“I didn’t know you knew Emma so well,” I rumble, nodding.
Nova nods.
“Yes, Emma and I have gotten to know each other a little better recently through mutual friends,” she murmurs with an impish smile.“But the cake is by the by.I’m eighteen now, and you know I’m off to college next year, Hunter.That’s why I want the birth control.To be ready, like I said.”
I nod, steepling my fingers as if deep in thought.
“Have you considered the consequences of the pill?”
“I’ve considered the consequences if Idon’ttake the pill,” Nova retorts back with a saucy smile.“That’swhy I want it.”
I nod.
“Yes, I see.And what if you go to school in a state where they’ve pulled back abortion access?The latest Supreme Court rulings have really come down hard on options for women who are expecting.”
Nova stares at me, her pretty features solemn.
“Are you trying to scare me, Daddy?”
“No, absolutely not,” I say in a deep voice.“I just want you to be aware.”
“Well, Iamaware,” Nova says.“I’m doing everything I can to put myself into a good position given the political climate.In fact, that’s what I’m doing at this very moment!But I’ve actually thought about it a little,” she adds in a slow voice, with a glance at me from beneath her lashes.“There’s been so much news on that front, that I think every woman’s been doing some deep thinking.I’ve come to a conclusion.”
I nod, my expression calm even as my heart thumps like a drum.
“What is it, sweetheart?Feel free to share.”
Nova takes a deep breath, her big breasts rising, before glancing at me from beneath her lashes.
“Well, if I get pregnant, I think I want to keep the baby.I know I’m young, but it feels right to me because Iwantto be a mother.It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court is doing, or what people say is right, godly, or just.Being a mommy is a gift, and I’ll make it work somehow.”
My heart leaps as another vision of Nova surges to the fore of my mind, this time with the blonde woman cradling an infant in her arms as she nurses the child.Her expression is serene and beatific.Her golden hair is a halo around her head, and my cock begins to stiffen as my balls grow heavy with seed again.Holy shit, I’d love to put that baby in this beautiful angel.I’d love to push into my stepdaughter’s creamy innocence and –
“Daddy?”Nova confused voice interrupts.“Hello, Earth to Hunter.Are you still here with me?”
I startle back to the present, the vision disappearing in a snap.
“Yeah, I’m sorry, honey,” I growl, shifting uncomfortably in my seat.“I apologize for probing like that, but I just want to make sure you’ve thought everything through.But it’s clear that you’re an intelligent, thoughtful young woman, and you’ve done all the legwork.Here, I have some birth control pills on hand.You can have them.”
I begin to fumble in my desk drawer as Nova nods.
“I’m not a child anymore, Daddy.Like I said, I’m eighteen,” she says in a soft voice.
