It’s funny watching Axel react to my needs—and I have a whole lot of them now that I’m pregnant.
Anything I even hint at wanting, he takes care of it, like he’s still determined to prove himself to me, even though I definitely believe him now.
I still didn’t quite believe him when we got married, but since then, he has proven he means what he said, over and over.
We haven’t bothered throwing a bigger celebration yet—I have no one to invite, and his best friend, Nate, was our witness the first time around, so the most important people to him already attended our wedding.
Plus I don’t care for all that attention; I’m way too used to laying low.
I did agree to consider throwing a bash for our first year anniversary in a few months, but it’s just so Axel can see me in some white froufrou dress.
Bleh.
I don’t care for it, but Axel wants it, so I’ll do it for him after this munchkin of ours pops out and I get my figure back.
We’re having a boy, thankfully—I hear they’re less fuss, and I’m hoping he looks like his dad.
As for Taylor—apparently, Axel’s friend Scott is ‘taking care of it,’ whatever that means.
I don’t really care how or if she gets punished or not—I’m just glad she’s out of my life for good.
Axel told me what happened when they captured her and that Scott thought he recognized her and called her Rachel.
I was mildly surprised by the name, even though I suspected she never gave me her real one, but was anything about her real? Was that scar a fake too?
Whatever—she’s gone now, and Axel and I got our shit back, and Axel promised me I never have to worry about her or anything ever again.
I realize I’m pretty much the luckiest girl in the world.
For both Axel and me, despite our original intentions when it came to scoring, that Vegas trip turned out to be a beautiful resounding success. A gift that keeps on giving.
My hand joins his on my stomach, and I can’t help but smile as I feel a small kick.
