Page 44 of To Love and Protect
“Let’s just make it through this pregnancy first.” She smiled a little, and then her smile dropped. “I’m scared, Nico. I alwayswanted my own family, but I don’t know how to be a part of one. What if I fuck this kid up?”
“If anyone gonna fuck them up, it’ll be me, cookie. But listen, I think it’s okay for us to both be afraid. We can’t let that shit overrule the good shit though. We need to get our heads right before this lil baby gets here.”
That was a fact. The last thing she wanted to do was bring a baby into negative energy.
“I just need to relax,” she uttered, taking another deep breath. Her nerves had been going haywire, and she didn’t want to stress the baby out.
Damn, I’m a whole mother. This shit is wild.
Nico rolled over so he was on top of her. “If you back fuckin’ wit’ me, I can help you relax.” He grinned before he nuzzled her neck.
Despite everything going on, she giggled. Nico always brought the happiness out of her. “I’m always gon’ fuck with you, love. Even when I’m not.”
He kissed her on the lips. “And that’s why I love you. What I say when we first met? I’m gon’ always be here to love and protect you.”
She got chills. She remembered him saying something like that back when they went to get her things from her old place. He had definitely delivered on those words.
“And that’s why you’ll have me for life.”
He kissed her deeply before sliding into her wet pussy. This right here was home for her, and she wouldn’t dare ever leave again.
“Nico, sit your ass down,” Remedie hissed as she snapped her fingers.
Nico turned to her with a lopsided grin on his face. “Look at you gettin’ that mom voice down.” He closed the drawer he had been rummaging around in and went to take a seat next to her with a handful of wooden sticks the doctors used to hold patients’ tongues down so they could check their throats. “Put these in your purse.”
“What? For fucking what, Nico? What the hell you need these for?”
“Come on, cookie. Just put them in there. You never know when we might need one.”
“No, I’m not helping you steal from the doctors.” Her face scrunched up.
“They don’t need this shit?—”
A knock on the door caused them both to freeze. Remedie quickly grabbed the stupid sticks and stuffed them into her purse before a handsome Black doctor stepped into the room.
She smiled up at him and hoped she looked innocent.
“Good afternoon. Remedie, is it?”
Remedie opened her mouth to reply, but of course, Nico had to be the first one to speak.
“Aye, you gon’ be her doctor?” Nico stood up and dwarfed the doctor with his height.
“You must be the father. Yes, sir. I’m Doctor Nathans.”
Nico peered down at him with a frown and then glanced at Remedie. She already knew something stupid was about to comeout of his mouth. It had been a few days since he found out he was going to be a father, and he seemed to become more of a nut as each day passed.
“Yeah, I’m daddy, and that’s my baby right there. She’s carrying my baby, and I don’t need no other nigga lookin’ at her. You feel me? Y’all ain’t got any lady doctors around here?”
“Nico!” Remedie screeched. Her entire face turned red. “Doctor Nathans, I am so sorry. Please excuse my ignorant boyfriend.” Remedie tugged on Nico’s arm until he sat down next to her.
Doctor Nathans chuckled. “It’s fine. I’ve heard worse, trust me.”
“Oh, I can be worse,” Nico grumbled.
Remedie elbowed him in the side while she gave the doctor an apologetic smile.
“We’re just confirming the pregnancy today, right?” the doctor asked.
