Chapter 6
About six weeks had passed, and while Kayley spent a lot of time with Norman, she felt a bit of regret. She might not come with him once he leaves. She might stay here. She did speak to her boss about transferring, and while they said that they would miss her, they did seem to understand. They gave her the okay, it was a matter of if she should transfer or not.
She found another hospital that was near where Norman said their temporary home would be. It was a nice place, but the pay was slightly less. Did she want to take a pay cut for this? Would she even be able to handle it? then again, if Norman was helping with the bills and the like, she might have a better chance at taking this.
Then, it happened. She started getting sick day in and day out, and for Kayley, she never got sick. But the idea of waking up in the morning made her want to vomit, and more often than not, she ended up puking. However, she thought at first maybe it was a stomach bug. She did call out a couple of times, but as she continued, she realized the problem was getting worse.
It happened about four weeks after she confessed her feelings to Norman, which made her wonder—did she get knocked up? Was this his baby? If so, that would prove to make everything so much messier than she cared to make them.
Even with her worries and doubts, she continued forward. However, she stopped craving the foods she normally did, settling for bizarre foods she normally wouldn’t touch in a million years. When that happened, she knew something was up, and surreptitiously, she went over to the military store, getting a pregnancy test. Luckily, nobody said anything, but she did soon go to the bathroom, praying it was nothing.
She used it, hoping that this was just her thoughts getting the best of her, but then, when she pulled the test out, she saw the indicator mark, immediately blanching in shock.
“Oh fuck,” she muttered to herself.
Sure enough, she was pregnant, and it was his baby. She knew that she couldn’t hide this forever, and with all that was going on, she knew that this would just make everything worse.
During her visit with Norman that day, he could tell something was wrong.
“Hey uh, do you want to talk?” he asked.
She shook her head. The last thing she wanted to tell him was she was pregnant with his baby.
“No. I’m just going through some tough times. Got to make some big decisions,” she told him.
“You don’t have to make them alone you know,” he told her.
She paused. She didn’t want to hold this back. She felt he should know, but she shook her head.
“It’s fine. It’s about job stuff. I found a job, but it’s with a different hospital and I have to take a small pay cut,” she said.
“If you take it, I’ll assist with the bills,” he said.
“Are you sure?” she asked. She did want to, but she wanted to make sure it was cool with him first.
“Of course. I mean, we’re in this together. I’m not letting you go,” he said.
She nodded. That made her want to tell him, but she pulled those thoughts back. She wasn’t ready, and while it bothered her to hide this sort of thing, she felt it was for the best.
“Thank you. I’ll consider it,” she said.
“Well you have about two weeks to do so. That’s when they’re discharging me,” he told her.
Great. no pressure, right? She began to shiver, knowing that everything resided on her decision.
About a week passed, and she put in the transfer papers. She sat there, listening to a few of the people, when her boss came on by.
“Hey there Kayley. Listen, I have some great news,” he told her.
She looked at him, wondering what it was.
“What is it?” she asked.
“Well, I told them your qualms about the pay cut. They seem to understand, and they’re looking to match it. We did find a replacement for you, so you can leave whenever you desire. I mean, I’ll miss you. We all will, but it happens. It’s hard out there, and being a military hospital, you see death right before your eyes. You’ve served us for a long time, so I’m sure that this will make your life much easier,” he said to her.
She couldn’t believe this. She wanted to tell him right away. But she sat there, smiling at her boss.
“Thank you. I’ll probably leave sometime next week. I’ll finish up the final housekeeping points and such,” she said.
“Very good. Good luck,” he said.
“Thank you. I’ll need it,” she said.
After that was over, Kayley prepared the last of her transfer papers, getting everything squared away. She wanted to have it done by the time Norman left, so that there wouldn’t be any problems. She worked hard, not seeing him much, but then, as it all started to get easier, she knew what she had to do.
It was the day before she would be leaving, and he would be leaving too. She headed over there, knowing what she must do. Even if he refused, she did have a job, but she hoped that he would take care of her. She knocked on the door, and when she heard his words, she stepped in.
When she got there, she saw him there, looking at her with a smile.
“There you are,” he said.
“Hey. There’s something I want to tell you. I’m sorry for hiding it, and I feel a bit ashamed that I did. I’m just scared,” she said.
He looked at her with concern, moving closer with a bit of hesitancy.
“You can tell me. I promise I won’t be mad.”
She prepared her mind for whatever was about to happen next. Would he accept her even with this bun in the oven? Or would he leave her before she had a chance to explain herself? She could only hope it would be the former.
Chapter 7
She took a deep breath, composing herself as she got the words ready. She looked at him, seeing that he hadn’t broken eye contact.
“I’m pregnant,” she told him.
His eyes widened looking at her with complete shock.
“Oh wow,” he said.
“Yeah. I confirmed it the other day. Which was why I was quiet. I’m just… nervous,” she said.
“I imagine. I mean, I would’ve loved to have known sooner rather than later, but I guess it’s better to know now than after we leave, right?” he said.
She looked at him with an incredulous glance. “You’re not mad or anything?” she asked.
“Course not. It’s our future. I’ll tell you right now, that I had a feeling that was what’s up. I mean, I remember telling you back when we were in high school that I wanted to have kids eventually. Truthfully, I wanted to have them with you,” he said.
The shock that was on her face made him smile. He moved forward, capturing her lips with his own. He pulled back, smiling.
“You don’t have to worry about me backing out. I made the decision a while ago that if I ever did get a girl pregnant, I’d take care of the kid. I mean, I am happy it’s you because I’ve had feelings for you for a long time,” he told her with a smile.
“Same. I’m glad it’s you as well,” she said.
There was an awkward pause, and then, he sighed once again.
“Can I tell you something else Kayley? It’s a bit embarrassing, but I think it needs to be said,” he told her.
She looked at him with slight concern, unsure of what he was about to say. He then took a deep breath, his face embarrassed from the words he was about to form.
“I love you Kayley. I know I probably made that fucking obvious when we did it, but this is different. I’ve thought long and hard about it. I’m a military guy. I’ve always been worried about what my father thought of me, but I remember the one time he told me that he was proud of me, was when I was with you. He said that you were a good woman, that you would be a great girlfriend. I thought the guy was damn crazy, but I guess he was right. I wanted you to be my girlfriend for a long time Kayley, and now that we finally found one another again, I just…I feel happy. I feel like I can finally express these feelings,” he said.
She looked at
the man, the one that she nursed back to health, the one who had seen struggle after struggle, time and time again. He seemed so natural, and the confession felt so real. She was happy to see his eyes widen with every single word, the way he seemed almost determined to say that.
“I guess that makes two of us. I love you too,” she said.
“Good. Because honestly, if I heard that you didn’t, I’d be pretty upset. I mean, I know I shouldn’t hold out too much, especially with how people are, but I always saw you as someone I admired Kayley. Even in high school you were perfect to talk to. We always had the best conversations,” he said.
“We sure did,” she told him.
“Yeah, and I want to have more conversations like that with you. I actually got a job working in the technology department at the military base. I don’t have to see combat, and it’s what I went to school for. And now that I have you, I feel like I’m finally getting a jumpstart on life,” he said.
The way he said those words, the way they seemed to naturally come off his tongue, made her heart flutter. She saw that he was serious too, which made her smile.
“That makes two of us. We’re both doing what we love, and we both love each other,” she said.
“Yeah. I’m not letting this get away. Not after all this time,” he said.
“I’m not either,” she replied.
Before she knew it, he pushed her down on the bed, the strength that he was missing before finally back. It was strange to not see him with the boot on his leg, or even a small hobble. But it was obvious that it was a sign of progress, a sign that he wasn’t hurt anymore.
“I love you Kayley.”
“I love you too Norman. Always and forever”
Before she could say much else, he pressed his lips hard to her own, kissing them with a pleasuring feeling that made her smile. For some, this might be considered a fairy tale ending, but for her, she began to wonder if this was the beginning of it all. Soon, his hands moved up to where her hips were, touching them there. It was weird to be in a pair of slacks and a shirt, not her uniform of choice, but as she kissed him, as the two of them stayed like that, she knew this was exactly where she wanted to be, with the man of her dreams, with the life she desired.
Chapter 8
For a long time, neither of them moved, kissing one another with a passionate feeling that both of them seemed to yearn for in one another. For Kayley, she was on cloud nine kissing this man, realizing that he was the one for her. He did the same, his eyes closing and his heart racing with every single touch and every single caress. He wanted to hold her like this for a long time. His injuries prevented this, but now that he was all healed up, he was going to make up for lost time.
He let his tongue press against her lips, and she quickly let him in, kissing and caressing his own, loving lips with her own passionate lips that seemed to know no bounds. Both of them moaned against one another, the teasing that they felt against their bodies so obvious that it made her want nothing more than for this to continue. For him, he started to let his tongue move and tease against her own, and she did the same thing. Both of them were lost in the feelings of one another, a feeling of passion and pleasure that seemed to eat both of them.
He began to let his tongue slide and tease against her own lips, and soon she mingled it with his own. She loved the way that he moaned against her lips, and the feeling of his body relaxing against her own was divine.
He slipped away, pressing little kisses down her neck. These small, sensual touches were almost too much for her, and as he pressed his lips gently there, she let out a small groan of excitement and need. He smiled, seeing how turned on she was from this, and soon, he started to move against there a bit more, biting down against the flesh and leaving a mark. He did so with the softest of bites, making sure to leave a mark she’d remember, but not anything too major.
It was then when he got to her breasts. He moved his lips to her collarbone, giving small, succulent kisses there as well, but his hands were already at her blouse, undoing the buttons and then slipping it off of her. She let out a small cry of shock as she felt the cold air hit there, but then, with a fury of excitement, he undid the clasp on the bra as well, allowing the garment to tumble down.
She felt slightly exposed, especially since it had been a while since they did this, but she did enjoy it. He began to move his lips down, immediately letting his tongue roam against the puckered edge of her breast. It was different from the last time, since he could only use his hands for the most part. However, this time around, he was able to use his lips, and after he teased the tip of her nipple with a small flick of his tongue, causing a moan of arousal to emit from her, he began to move his hands over to the other one, letting one of them rest at her hip, while the other was against her nipple, rubbing his palm against there. She let out a small series of satisfied cries, and he enjoyed hearing them.
Hearing the sounds that she made set him off. He missed them, and the fact that they could be together forever was enough for him. He felt like he finally achieved the goal he had, and with every single motion, every single touch, and even every single moment in time, he felt like he was at the top of the world, that he was definitely doing exactly what it was that she liked. He loved hearing the satisfied cries that she uttered, the way that she seemed to completely move against him, the excitement that seemed to only grow with every passing moment in time. He started to suck on her breasts slightly harder as well, causing her to let out a low, guttural sound as he did that along with pinching them. The cries that she made were delightful, and hearing her do so was almost heavenly to him. He could probably get off to those sounds, and those sounds alone.
As he continued to tease her, he began to feel her hands move over to where his pants were, touching there. He looked up, surprised by her actions and how upfront she was about it. It was then when she smiled.
“I want to give you a present. My thanks for coming back into my life,” she told him.
He looked at her with slight confusion, but then, before she knew it, she had his pants down, sliding his boxers off as well.
He was surprised, but then, she moved her hand against it, touching it slightly. It trembled in her hand, and she smiled in response.
“You’re so excited. I am too,” she said. She really was excited, especially with the way he looked at her as he was underneath her once again. He groaned, sitting up against the bed as she lightly tugged at his member, jerking it slightly before she then pulled back, moving her lips until she was right up against where the head of his cock was. She smirked, an impish grin that said it all, and soon, she pushed his member into her mouth, taking the tip in. He moaned, groaning out loud and in pleasure with everything that was going on. It was so magical, almost like a totally different sensation for him. She began to smile as she took more and more of him into her mouth, getting about halfway down before she took her hands and started to pump him in tandem with the movement of her lips. It was obvious that he was so close he couldn’t really take much, but she did love the sounds that he made as she did this.
For Norman, he did forget how good this was. For him, this was something almost magical, and when she pushed her lips further and further down, he had to grip the sheets. He bit his lip, trying to feel pain so that he didn’t cum right away.
“Fuck,” he simply said, enjoying the feeling of her tight lips as she continued to move further and further down. She smiled in enjoyment, loving the way that he sounded in response to her actions. However, she could see that he was so close already, so she pulled away, giving him a small grin of excitement.
“You liked that didn’t you?” she said.
“Yes. I forgot how amazing you truly are,” he told her.
She blushed, shocked that he was still able to form coherent sentences, but not before he pushed her down, taking his pants all the way off and pulling his shirt off in the process. She ogled his naked body, happy that nobody was around to hear the small gasp her mou
th uttered. She didn’t get a chance to see him in all of his glory when they first did it, but now that she did, she couldn’t believe how hot he was.
He pulled off her pants and panties without any second thoughts, enjoying the naked womanhood in front of him. He started to spread her apart, pushing himself into her hard, and soon, she gripped his shoulders, holding him there as she started to feel him penetrate her. She pulled her legs against his back, holding him there as he continued to thrust more and more, getting deeper and deeper into her with each motion.
She loved this. She tried to keep quiet, biting her lip and letting out little whines of pleasure. She was happy she did put that fan on in the room before she spoke. He was ravaging her, getting as deep as he could, and with each and every thrust, she felt as if she was in heaven. He started to increase the pace, wasting no time as he got deeper into her aching pussy. Her body seemed completely complacent to his actions, her hips moving at the same pace as his own, and before she knew it, he angled himself up, pushing his cock right over her g-spot, causing her to cry out with need and pleasure each and every time.
Sure enough, she knew she wouldn’t be able to last. After a few more thrust, she began to cry out, tensing up with aching need as she felt her eyes widen, her back arch, and the sudden force of her orgasm as it completely decimated her body, making her feel nothing more than the sheer pleasure of it. It was heaven, pure and utter heaven, and before she knew it, she felt Norman push himself inside of her once more, pushing his cock deep before he let out a low groan, tensing up as he spilled himself into her.
It was an amazing feeling, being inside her tight hole and cumming hard against her body. He felt like he had won the lottery, that this was the prize that he always wanted. before he could think straight, she then pulled back, looking at him with a smile. The two of them collapsed onto the bed together, their breathing growing softer and softer with time.
“Fuck,” he said to her.
