Pausing for a moment, Nick had the look of a deer staring into headlights. Knowing that he was remembering their discord over a year ago about her not wanting kids, she continued. “Nick, I know you’re shocked because I told you I never wanted kids. And I really didn’t. But something weird came over me when I found out I was pregnant. Instead of being mortified and angry, I cried with joy. I am so in love with you that knowing there’s a part of you inside me turned every notion I ever had about having kids completely upside down. It really shocked me. Within moments of hearing the news, I wanted to tell the whole world!”
Nick was speechless. For a minute he thought he was dreaming. He had long ago put out of his head any thoughts of starting a family with Lyndsay. He had convinced himself that it was more important having her in his life than having kids without her. Once he made that decision, he never looked back. Yet here he was on his wedding night with the woman he loved telling him she was pregnant with his child and that she was thrilled about it. Nick’s head was completely spinning and he still hadn’t uttered a word. Could this really be happening? Was he really going to have a baby?
As Lyndsay watched Nick trying to comprehend this huge news, she continued. “After I found out and realized how happy I was and how thrilled you would be, I called Jodi. Well, you know her. She insisted on leaving work immediately and came down to Bristol to talk. You can bet she was here inside of 30 minutes talking a mile a minute and pummeling me with questions.”
For the first time during the conversation, a smile spread across Nick’s face as he pictured Jodi flying into Lyndsay’s store like a bull in a china shop. “Anyway,” Lyndsay said, “After filling her in with everything I just told you, it was her idea to wait until the wedding to tell you. She said that the news would be an incredible wedding gift for you. Seeing how excited she was about that idea, she got me excited, too.” Still not being able to read his face, Lyndsay became suddenly scared. “I hope you’re not mad at me, are you?”
Seeing Lyndsay’s worried expression instantly snapped Nick out of his emotionally overloaded coma. Pulling her into his arms, he held her like a man clinging to a life raft. Just by the way he was holding onto her, Lyndsay knew that angry was the very last thing he was feeling. She understood completely that he was so overwhelmed with happiness that he was momentarily rendered speechless.
Finally getting his wits back about him, Nick whispered, “You’ve made me the happiest man on Earth, Lin. Just when I thought I couldn’t be any more in love with you, you have given me this amazing and precious gift…our child.” As they talked quietly for a while about the baby and their future together, Nick couldn’t contain his excitement and he could see that Lyndsay was every bit as excited as he was. It melted his heart knowing how much she was giving to him and he knew in that moment that he would do everything in his power to make sure she never regretted her decision to have a child.
Suddenly remembering it was his wedding night, Nick, like any hot blooded male tucked the news about the baby safely away for the time being and with a mischievous expression, he looked at his sexy bride with hunger in his eyes. Understanding that look all too well, Lyndsay gave him a “come get me” flirtatious wink and shot him a coy look, challenging him to take her to the bedroom. Not wasting any time, Nick stood up, reached for her hand and said in the most impossibly sexy tone, “Seems like my new bride wants to be a wanton hussy. And I have just the remedy for that!” Bending down to pick up the neck tie he had discarded earlier, he gave her a look that belied exactly what he was going to do with it once he got her naked.
As they walked hand in hand to the bedroom, Lyndsay smiled in the knowledge that being legally tied to Nick wouldn’t be the only way he would keep her tied to him, for years and years to come.
