  ���Maybe that���s not a good idea,��� Emma giggled.

  Emma watched his expressions as he looked through the movies. His facial expressions were so expressive when it was just them, she didn���t wonder what he was thinking. It was much different from when they first met, the mask he adorned was held in place then. Hiding his true self from everyone. Emma thought it must come with the territory. In the public eye, he was a mystery, just as he had worked so hard to be. But day by day he was coming out of his shell.

  ���What the hell decade are these from, honestly these women seem to literally have monkeys upon their laps, Emma don���t they know about wax or hair removal or just trimming?��� He looked disgusted, and Emma laughed.

  ���Step away from the porn, Music Man,��� Emma laughed.

  ���No, this is classic stuff Em; do you think we could get the receptionist to bring us some popcorn?��� Brody smiled, ���Make it a movie date?���

  ���Do you see deep throat in there?��� Emma asked quietly.

  Brody smiled at her amusingly, ���You���ve watched ������

  ���No, but I���m sure I could improvise you know, over here,��� she walked towards the couch.

  ���Emma how many blow jobs do you think have been given over there?��� Brody smiled.

  ���Revolting.���

  ���Exactly,��� Brody pushed the buzzer and the nurse knocked and came in.

  ���Could we take this to my car?��� Brody said holding up the collection container, ���I fear I may have performance anxiety in this room.���

  Emma giggled and covered her face.

  ���I suppose, um you could use the back door,��� the receptionist blushed.

  ���Wouldn���t that taint the������ Brody began.

  ���Alright thank you, we will be right back,��� Emma laughed and dragged him out the door.

  They laughed the entire way to the car.

  ���Emma we could make better porn than that,��� Brody laughed.

  ���Okay let���s start now,��� Emma undid his pants.

  ���You really can recover from that so fast?��� Brody asked as she released him from his pants.

  ���Um, we have a job to do here Music Man,��� Emma said took him in her mouth.

  ���Emma stop let me������ Brody started.

  ���You���re going to get a blow job and empty in this cup,��� Emma began again.

  ���It���s going to take a while,��� he laughed.

  ���Do you want a baby Brody?��� Emma sat next to him obviously frustrated.

  ���This can���t be a job Em,��� he said scowling.

  ���What���s wrong? You do know what we are here for right?��� Emma smiled.

  ���Just…Not what I���m used to Emma������ Brody ran his hands through his hair.

  Emma smiled, ���Well you couldn���t give me control just once could you?���

  ���What?��� He asked confused.

  ���Sex Brody, couldn���t let me make you come once without being in control. So here���s the deal,��� Emma said hiking her skirt up, ���I���m going to get myself off right here, right now, and there isn���t a damn thing I���m going to let you do about it.���

  Emma stuck her finger in her mouth and sucked hard hollowing her cheeks. Brody���s eyes widened and he started to move towards her, ���No.���

  Emma pulled her feet up on the leather seat and pulled her panties aside and continued sucking her finger. She saw Brody start to harden and slowly reached down and began to rub her clit.

  Brody growled, ���Emma.���

  She raised her eyebrow and let out a breath, ���Brody?���

  ���My God,��� he gasped.

  Brody lunged forward and put his hand under hers.

  ���You seem ready now,��� Emma moaned.

  ���You seemed to have made me that way,��� his mouth crashed over hers and his fingers pushed into her.

  ���Brody, damn it,��� Emma moaned.

  * * *

  ���Good morning Lila,��� Brody said opening the car door for her and handed her flowers.

  ���Really Hines?��� Lila laughed.

  ���Yes, Emma insisted that if we���re implanting you today we better at least give you flowers, right Emma?��� He said sitting next to her in the car.

  Emma smiled, ���If you���ve changed������

  ���Emma,��� Lila smiled, ���I only ask that you do one thing in return for me.���

  ���Anything.���

  ���You will be my coach and my workout buddy after I give birth,��� Lila laughed.

  ���I���ll do both, and I���ll cook for you to,��� Emma said hugging her.

  * * *

  Emma, Lila, and Brody sat in the doctor���s office waiting to be called in.

  ���Well the blood work came back and it appears Lila���s HCG levels are very high meaning the home test was accurate even if it was a couple days early,��� Dr. Stork scowled.

  Brody looked at Emma and smiled. She hugged Lila, and they both cried.

  ���We���ll do an ultrasound to see how many babies we are looking at,��� Dr. Stork smiled.

  * * *

  When Emma and Brody were alone in the car, he looked at her and smiled again. Emma smiled back and looked out the window.

  ���Em, what is it?��� He asked pulling her towards him.

  ���Nothing, I���m happy,��� she smiled and put her face into his chest. And very nervous and scared to be happy for one minute because what happens if���she thought hiding her face against him.

  ���Me too,��� he kissed her head, ���Three huh?���

  Emma giggled, ���Yep.���

  ���Does that worry you love?��� Brody asked.

  ���No, I just won���t get that much sleep,��� Emma smiled up at him, ���Well worth it.���

  ���You won���t be alone Em, I���m in this as deep as you. Midnight feedings, diaper changes, all of it,��� he smiled and kissed her nose.

  ���I���ll remember you said that,��� Emma nuzzled into his neck.

  ���You won���t have to. It wasn���t an empty promise Emma, I want this as much if not more than you,��� Brody held her tightly.

  Emma returned his embrace and stayed in his arms.

  * * *

  The phone rang at two in the morning and Emma reached for it blindly in the dark. Brody shifted in his sleep as she scrambled off the bed.

  ���Hello,��� Emma whispered as she walked into the bathroom so she wouldn���t disturb Brody.

  ���Sorry to call you at this hour Emma, I don���t know what to do������ Lila began to cry.

  ���Lila, are you okay?��� Emma was stunned.

  Lila wasn���t one to cry. She was always so strong and levelheaded. She thought things through and didn���t act without doing so beforehand.

  ���Emma I���m bleeding, I���m so sorry. I knew you would want to know. I called you before calling Mark because these are your babies,��� Lila apologized softly.

  ���Okay, but it���s your body Lila, call him if you need him okay?��� Emma said quietly.

  ���Emma,��� Lila said softly.

  ���I can come now,��� Emma stated.

  ���Ok, but you better tell him first Emma…oka
y?��� Lila instructed her.

  ���Okay, I���ll be there soon,��� Emma hung up the phone and sat on the bathroom floor and silently sobbed into her knees.

  When she finally stopped she grabbed a washcloth and wet it under the water. She looked in the mirror and saw Brody standing in the doorway.

  ���Em, come here,��� he said and opened his arms and walked towards her.

  ���I���m so sorry, I knew this would happen. I���ve been through this, I never wanted to hurt you or Lila this way,��� she cried, ���I���m so sorry.���

  ���Shh, come now. I knew what could happen and so did Lila. I���m so sorry you���re reliving this,��� he held her tightly and kissed her head.

  ���I just need a few minutes,��� Emma tried to pull away, ���I���ll be fine, I���m sorry.���

  ���Don���t do that Em,��� he held her tighter, ���It���s us together, and we���ll do this together.���

  Brody held her and let her cry. Emma wasn���t sure if she couldn���t stop crying because of the hurt she was feeling for herself, or for Brody or Lila. She couldn���t stop it though, and she realized she was crying for all of them and for the babies she had lost before. Brody held her and let her cry.

  CHAPTER FOURTEEN

  After the appointment with the fertility specialist, all three of them had decided they would wait it out Lila���s body to naturally miscarry instead of surgical procedure that had been suggested. Mark had agreed it was a good option considering any surgery was risky.

  ���Your HCG levels have lowered but not considerably. We are going to make sure everything has passed and do a vaginal Ultra sound,��� Dr. Grear explained.

  ���Would you like us to wait outside?��� Emma asked Lila.

  ���You canstay. Sorry Hines, but that means you���re going to have to leave,��� Lila smiled.

  Brody understood, he certainly didn���t need to be in the room, but he still wanted Emma to be alright. She hadn���t completely distanced herself from him, but when he walked in a room he often saw her looking out a window deep in thought. His normal reaction was to hug her and ask her if she was alright or what she was thinking. He had stopped doing this when he realized it was incredibly repetitious and she was probably getting tired of telling him the same thing over and over again. He wouldn���t ask her to go through this again and had even looked into the adoption process deeper. Not that he felt it one hundred percent necessary to have a child, but he wanted her to be happy. Hell, he wanted that connection with her. Brody knew that Troy would forever have her love, because of London and at times that made him squirm. Not that he was jealous; he knew her heart was his forever.

  The door to the exam room opened, and he looked up at Emma���s face. She had tears coming down her cheeks, but she smiled.

  ���Em,��� he went to hug her.

  ���Don���t, I want to show you something in here,��� Emma smiled as she wiped her face.

  Brody looked confused, and she laughed, ���Cover your eyes, Lila doesn���t want to give you a peep show.���

  He started to protest, and she giggled, ���Just do it!���

  Emma led Brody to the head of the exam table. The nurse had draped a blanket covering Lila���s private area.

  ���Open your eyes,��� Emma said with a smile.

  Brody opened his eyes, and the ultra sound technician enlarged the screen.

  Emma took his hand, ���Well if look really carefully, and you���ll see that little flutter inside what looks like a peanut.���

  Brody shook his head, ���Yes I see it, and does this mean we have to have Lila go through������

  ���Brody, one of our babies is still growing inside her, that little flutter, that���s its heart,��� Emma beamed, ���We���re still going to have a baby, you���re going to be a Daddy!���

  Brody watched silently for a few seconds, and a smile began to creep across his face.

  ���Are you quite sure?��� He asked peeling his eyes off the screen and finally looking at Emma.

  ���We���re at eleven weeks,��� Emma beamed, ���Almost������

  ���We can tell London at Christmas Em, we can still do that,��� Brody lifted her and twirled her around and kissed her.

  ���Yes, yes we can,��� Emma said slowly pulling away.

  ���Thank you!��� Brody exclaimed and kissed Lila and then the nurse and finally looked up and said, ���Thank you,��� to God.

  CHAPTER FIFTEEN

  Before they left for England Emma and Brody gave London a package while he and Emma sat back and watched her.

  ���What���s this for?��� London smiled.

  ���Just open it,��� Brody laughed.

  London pulled out a shirt and read it, ���Big Sister���big sister?���

  ���Yes,��� Brody was about ready to burst.

  ���Is Mom…No she can���t be… Mom?��� London asked

  Brody and Emma gave London the PG version of the pregnancy. London cried and Brody though that she was upset and looked devastated. Emma laughed, ���Happy tears, Brody.���

  ���Very happy tears,��� London pounced on him and hugged him.

  * * *

  Emma and Brody sat in front of the fire place at his home in England, it was their first night. They had planned to spend two weeks, London���s entire Christmas vacation there.

  Troy would be joining them on Christmas Eve with Caroline and Henry. Emma had been surprised when Brody had suggested it. He knew it was weighing on her heart being away from her family and keeping London from her father on a day like Christmas.

  ���You tired, Em?��� Brody asked as he walked in catching her yawning as he set a glass of wine on the floor next to her.

  ���Sit with me?��� she smiled.

  Brody sat with his back against the couch and pulled her back against his chest and held her.

  ���It���s beautiful here,��� she smiled up at him.

  ���I���ve always enjoyed it, truly peaceful and relaxing. I���ve literally fallen asleep in front of this fire at least twice during each holiday I���ve taken,��� he said gazing down at her.

  Emma smiled and pulled his arms tighter around her waist.

  ���I���ve always wondered what it would be like������ Brody stopped.

  ���Go on,��� she rubbed his hand gently.

  Brody smiled, ���What it would be like to have someone to truly share this with.���

  ���But you and Ariel spent time here right?��� Emma looked at him over her shoulder.

  ���Sure, a few times. When I spent time here she would normally be working. It wasn���t lively enough for her. To me it���s peaceful, its home. I feel much the same comfort here as I do at our home in the states. It���s always brought me tranquility when I���ve been here alone. But with you and London here I have that same peace, the serenity, but it���s so full in here Em, so full,��� he sighed as he held his hand to his heart.

  Emma felt her eyes warm and a pain in her chest. She couldn���t possibly ask for anything more in a man than Brody was. Brody was beautiful, funny, deeply emotional, protective and absolutely, completely, the love of her life.

  Emma knew there were parts of him that were still a mystery to her, they���ve only been together for three months, and still she knew him. She knew his heart, and she knew he had given it to her to hold and cherish forever. Emma planned to do just that forever and as sure as she was about that, she knew he too �
�� would hold and cherish hers.

  When Emma looked up again, Brody smiled down at her and kissed her lightly, ���Em, don���t be unhappy. None of that amounts to anything any longer. I���m literally happier than ever before. I hope to do the same for you.���

  Emma kissed Brody and went to pull away. He gently cupped her chin and pressed his nose to hers and closed his eyes. He moved his hand down her throat lightly skimming his fingertips across her collar bone and to the back of her head. He kissed her gently and ran his tongue across her jawbone and then lightly nibbled her ear. Emma turned her body around to face him, and he ran his hand down her spine.

  ���You imbue my soul, my spirit, Emma,��� he whispered kissing her lips softly.

  A whimper escaped Emma���s mouth, Brody ran his tongue across her lower lip and pulled her onto his lap. He held her arms to her side and kissed down the front of her cotton tee shirt. Emma breathed out a breath she had been holding. Brody held her tight to his body as he kissed her, stroking his tongue up and down hers mimicking how his tongue pleased her in other ways, causing her to push into the growing bulge in his cotton pajama pants

  ���Em,��� his low voice vibrated against her cheek.

  Brody released Emma���s hands, and she held his face lightly as she kissed him. Her tongue entered his mouth as his hands lightly cupped her rear. She ran her fingertips gently across his unshaven face, and her hands moved to his head lightly holding his hair and turning his head slightly to the left. She kissed down his neck and then back up.

  Brody���s hand skimmed up her back and gently fisted her hair and did the same to her neck as her back arched slightly, pressing her breast against his chest. He sat back and looked into her eyes as she pulled his shirt over his head and he did the same to hers.

  Brody looked down at her black lacey bra and let out a breath before he kissed her shoulder and let his tongue run underneath her strap before pulling it down over her shoulder.

  Emma grabbed his face and stroked his face as she kissed his again. She was on fire, his taste, his smell, combined with her need, and brought her body to a place she never knew existed. She had experienced multiple orgasms and mind blowing sex with Brody every time, but right now as she kissed him and he was holding her lightly she felt for the first time that she was giving as much as he was and that was mind altering.
