“I’m listening,” he said, and I gulped.
“Four days ago, when you were away in Pomona, I woke up feeling sick and I went to my doctor for a checkup,” I said. Thorn’s green eyes darkened, and he closed the gap between us.
“Ensley, whatever it is, we will get through it together,” he said, reaching for me again. I couldn’t have loved him more than I did at that moment, and I nearly choked when I spoke again.
“Well, I’m pregnant. You’re going to be a father,” I said, and we both remained silent. Thorn was staring at me.
His hug came out of nowhere. His usual, all-encompassing, tightest bear hug. The hug that was capable of making me feel like I was safe. Thorn had me in his arms, and he nuzzled his head into my shoulder and stroked my back. I couldn’t believe that I was nervous about telling him!
He released me, then knelt down in front of me so he could cradle my belly in both hands.
“There is a part of me growing inside you now, Ensley,” he said, and when he looked up, I could see a hint of what he was feeling. He was proud and satisfied, and if he was protective of me before, I could see that the feeling had tripled in the last few moments.
I couldn’t stop laughing. I felt like I was going to cry too. This was the happiest moment of my life, and I was glad that I was sharing it with this man.
“I was worried you wouldn’t be so happy,” I said, and Thorn stood up, to pull me into his arms again.
“There is nothing you can tell me, Ensley, that will make me angry with you. I trust you. You are going to be the mother of my child. I can’t believe how happy that makes me!” he said, and as he held me, I knew that he meant every word of it.
We were holding each other tightly. Neither of us was willing to let go. I had a baby growing inside me. I had a career to grow too and a man to take care of, who was equally taking care of me. Even three months ago, I couldn’t have imagined myself in a situation like this, and now, I had everything I ever wanted. I had things that I didn’t even know I wanted.
We were kissing again. Thorn’s tongue was in my mouth, his hands were in my hair and then protectively around my shoulders.
“I’m always going to keep you safe, Ensley. I’m always going to protect you,” he said in my ears as I gently swayed in his arms. I had no doubt in my mind that he meant every word. That he would fight until the end if that were what it took to keep our baby and me safe. My favorite music was playing in the background as we swayed together. He had remembered to turn it on before I came in through the door. Thorn had thought of everything, just so that we could have a memorable romantic night together.
The truth was that there wasn’t much more I needed, besides this man and the baby we had made together.
