Breathe, it’s going to be ok.
Taking a deep breath, Emily turned to Holly first.
“Holly, this is for you and Alex.” She said handing her a set of keys.
Holly looked at the keys and frowned. A small smile played at Alex’s lips. The guy was probably thinking about getting Holly to wherever those keys led to have his way with her… again.
“What are these for?” Holly asked.
“They’re the keys for my apartment. My old apartment. Now it’s yours and Alex’s. If you want, that is.”
“What?”
All eyes were on Emily and she felt a little self conscious.
“I live here now.” She smiled and turned to Nick. “With Nick.”
“Oh my God!” Holly squeaked, her hand flying over her mouth.
“That’s wonderful!” Mia said, her hands over her heart.
It was no secret that she wanted Nick to find somebody and settle down. He’d told Emily about his Mum pestering him.
“That’s great news, Ems.” Said Kim. “We’re so happy for you.”
“Wait.” Emily said suddenly as they were getting out of their seats for congratulatory hugs. “We have something for you too.”
Nick handed their Mum’s a white envelope each and waited nervously as they opened them.
Pulling out a small square piece of paper, the room fell silent as both Kim and Mia stared at the small picture.
“Is this…?” said Kim as Mia seemed to have gone into shock.
Emily and Nick nodded their heads.
“A grand-baby?” Mia said, wide eyed in surprise.
“Yes Mom. Your first grand-baby. Emily’s pregnant.”
“Holy shit!” Holly squealed and leant into her Mum to look at the picture.
In a split second, everybody had gotten out of their seats and pulled both of them into hugs and passing round the scan pictures.
Mia was showing the copy of the scan picture to Ryan when he turned to Nick.
“Ok, Holly and Alex got an apartment, Mom and Kim got their grand-baby. What do I get?” He asked with a grin.
Emily knew he was kidding but there was a surprise for him.
“You get to be my best man.” Nick said, stunning everybody into another bout of silence.
“I asked Emily to marry me and she said yes!”
Emily watched as both of their Mum’s, and Dad’s burst into tears. Tears of joy, thankfully.
“Whoa, shotgun wedding!” Laughed Ryan.
“It’s not because of the baby.” Nick chastised him. “I had planned on asking before we found out. I bought the ring the last time we were in LA.”
“Ahem!” Cora said and Nick grinned at her. “Remember our deal?” She asked and Nick laughed.
Emily wondered what ‘deal’ they had.
“Before we were together, Cora noticed my feelings for you and she said that, in exchange for her silence, when we get married she had to be a bridesmaid.”
Emily burst out laughing. The kid had excellent bargaining skills.
“Of course, Princess. You are definitely going to be a bridesmaid.” She smiled as Cora clapped her hands and jumped up and down in excitement. “So are all of you girls.” She said to Holly, Riss, Kayla, and even Diane.
After the shock of the huge announcements, questions flew at Emily from the girls.
“When did you find out about the baby?”
“Is that why you were sick?”
“How did he propose?”
Emily and Nick told them the whole story. His buying the ring, with Joel, Emily’s sickness and his plans to ask her to move in and his marriage proposal. It had all fallen together perfectly.
“I’m so glad that you weren’t actually sick, sweetie.” Diane said with a hug. “You had me worried.”
“I know. I was worried too. I didn’t even guess that I could be pregnant.” Emily laughed.
“Well, you know I’m here for anything you need, Honey.”
“Thanks, Di. You’ve been really great to me. You and the girls. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.” Emily felt the tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
“Oh, Sweetie.” She said, pulling Emily in for a hug.
“I can’t believe we’re getting a grandchild!” Emily heard her Mum say to Mia.
“I know! We knew they were in love and it was only a matter of time once they’d come to their senses.” Mia replied.
So we definitely didn’t hide it well after all.
Emily laughed to herself when she felt Nick’s arms wrapping around her waist and stroking across her lower stomach.
“Everybody knew, huh?” He said quietly into her ear.
“I guess we were a bit obvious.”
“Do you think it’s obvious that I want to take your clothes off and do naughty things to you?” He whispered, sending shivers down her spine.
“Baby, it’s always obvious.” She purred, turning round in his arms, linking her hands behind his neck. She could feel the solid bulge in the front of his jeans pressing into her.
“God, you’re so sexy.”
Nick pressed his lips to hers and she gladly opened to him, letting his tongue stroke into her mouth and tangle with hers.
“Wooo!”
The cheers came from around the room as they kissed.
Emily felt her cheeks flaming when they pulled apart.
“When do you want to get married?” Nick asked when everybody had left to go home.
“As soon as possible.” She replied, as she slowly unzipped his jeans.
“I agree.” He smiled. “I want to get you down the aisle and away on our honeymoon so I can knock you up. Oh wait, I’ve already done that. I’ll settle for just making you scream my name for two weeks instead.”
“How about I make you scream my name?” She said with a purr as she pulled his shirt over his head. “Right now.”
“Baby, you can make me scream your name any time you want.”
“I fully intend to.” She said, kissing down his neck to his chest.
“God, Emmy.” He whispered as she lowered further, kissing down his abs.
His body was like a rock, and Emily was so turned on by the sleek contours of his muscles she felt close to climaxing just by touching him.
Darting her tongue out, she licked across his lower stomach, moaning as it ran over his V-lines as she pulled down his jeans. She was still fully dressed, but she couldn’t wait to get Nick naked that the door had barely closed when she’d pounced on him.
“Baby, I need to get you out of those clothes.” Nick panted as she took his hard length in her hand.
“Soon, babe. Just give me a minute… or ten.” She said and closed her mouth around his crown, making him hiss.
Slowly, she took him fully into her mouth then back up, running her tongue along the underneath then swirling around the top.
“Fuck, Emmy!” He cried out as she took him in again.
Over and over she sucked and licked until Nick couldn’t take anymore.
“I want to be inside you, now.” He growled, hauling her up off her knees.
Nick gripped the bottom of her dress and pulled it up over her head, leaving her completely naked.
“What the…?” He gasped and Emily giggled. She’d not worn underwear the entire time their families and friends were visiting.
“Just saving precious time, babe.” She whispered, stroking his cock.
“You’re gonna pay for that my dirty girl.” He growled.
In no time at all, Nick turned Emily round, and bent her over the back of the sofa, kneeling behind her.
Emily felt his fingers push into her entrance from behind, followed by his hot tongue against her nub.
“Nick!” She moaned.
His mouth on her, from that angle felt different, but still intense, and the way he sucked on her as his fingers stroked her inside had her legs quivering.
“Emmy, hold on.” He said into her ear. His voice full of pro
mise.
She felt the tip of his cock push into her and she sucked in a breath when their bodies connected. She was so full and almost came from the pressure alone.
His hands reached around to her breasts, caressing and teasing her nipples. He pulled out and thrust back in; his body leaning over hers. Holding a breast with one hand and her hip with the other.
“You feel so good, Emmy.” He moaned into the back of her neck. Kissing and nipping her as he drove into her from behind.
“Nick… I’m close.” She panted. The heat radiating from her core and surging through every nerve ending of her body.
“Fuck!” He growled and Emily felt him expand inside her, taking her right over the edge with such force that her legs were useless and only Nick pounding her was holding her up.
Emily screamed his name as she climaxed; Nick crying out her name at the same time as he came; his thick liquid spurting inside her.
“I love you Emmy.” Nick kissed across the back of her neck as they tried to catch their breaths.
“I love you too Nick.”
He pulled out of her and stood, helping her to stand on her still unsteady legs.
“I’m taking you upstairs now.” He said, picking her up and cradling her in his arms. “I’m not done with you.”
“Mmmmm. Keep talking like that and I might just keep you in bed all night.”
“That’s fine by me.” He said before quickly kissing her lips. “Now, let’s get you up there, wife-to-be.”
Emily giggled as Nick carried her up the stairs to continue making love to her.
And he did.
All night and the next morning too.
Epilogue
“Push baby. You’re doing great, Emmy.” Nick said as he wiped Emily’s brow as she took a deep breath.
“Nick!” She cried as she pushed hard, squeezing his hand.
“Just one more Emily.” Said the midwife. “Your baby is almost here.”
“Aah!” Emily cried as she bore down with every ounce of energy she had left.
“Oh my God!” Nick said as he looked down the bed. “Emmy, baby…”
Emily felt a release of pressure and then she heard a cry.
The cry of their first born baby.
“It’s a boy!” Nick said happily as he watched the midwife handling the baby.
“Is he ok?” Emily asked. The protective feeling overwhelming her as she heard her son’s cries.
“He’s perfect.” Nick said.
“Would you like to cut the cord?” The midwife asked and handed Nick a strange looking set of scissors and Emily watched as his shaking fingers cut through the umbilical cord.
He was whisked away to the scales to weigh him.
“Here’s your son.” The midwife beamed after she’d wrapped him up, handing him to Emily.
The tiny bundle in her arms was so beautiful, so perfect, and the love she felt for him was astounding.
“Our baby boy.” Nick said, tears of joy running down his cheeks. “Thank you, Emmy, for making me a husband and a father.” He sniffed.
“Thank you for making me a wife and mother.” She replied. “I love you, Mr. Lake.”
“I love you too, Mrs Lake.”
“We love you, baby Lake.” They said together, laughing when they did.
Once Emily was cleaned up and comfortable, the families were called into the room so see the new addition.
“Everybody…” Nick said proudly. “I’d like you to meet our son, Ethan James Lake.”
Ethan was passed around the room. The proud faces of his grandparents lighting up when they took him in their arms.
“He’s so beautiful.” They cooed. “Perfect in every way.”
“Wow. He’s so tiny and gorgeous.” Whispered Holly. “I can’t wait until we have our own.” She said to Alex.
Holly and Alex had gotten married as soon as Emily and Nick had come back from their honeymoon, so that Emily and Nick could attend their wedding too. They were waiting until after graduating college before starting on their own family.
“Hey little dude.” Ryan said when he got his turn. “When you get older, I have a lot to teach you.”
“No you don’t!” Emily and Nick said at the same time, making everybody laugh. The last thing they wanted was uncle Ryan teaching their son how to be mischievous. He’d have enough of that already inherited from his father.
With the money Jeff had owed her, Emily and Nick had decided to donate it to a charity that helps victims of rape and abuse.
It had taken a while for him to finally tell their families what had happened to him.
With Emily, and Ethan, by his side. He sat them down and told them everything that had happened to him that night over two years ago.
Naturally, they were devastated and Ryan blamed himself, which they assured him he wasn’t. Nobody was to blame except for Stacey and her actions.
Emily had also taken Nick up on his offer to run the company with him. The business went from strength to strength, and they had to take on more staff to deal with the extra business.
They got the new assistants too.
Diane’s niece, Cadie, was brought in after graduation and so was her girlfriend. They’d both aced their finals and proved to be assets to the company.
Louise resigned, after not getting yet another interview, and her position was given to Kayla, Kyle’s fiancee. Yes, they’d gotten engaged too.
“You know what I want to do?” Asked Emily when they’d put Ethan down for his afternoon nap.
“What do you want to do babe?” Nick asked, grinning.
“I want to make you scream my name.” She purred, opening the buttons on his shirt.
“Baby, you always do.” He growled as he gripped her and tackled her to the sofa; peppering kisses on her neck. “But I’ll have to scream into a pillow, or your dirty pillows.” He said, pressing his face into Emily’s breasts.
“I’m sure that can be arranged.” She giggled before being true to her word, making Nick cry out her name as she cried out his. Reaching their limit in hot, sweaty pleasure.
The End.
