Smiling, I placed my hand on the side of his face. “Is perfectly safe. Now fuck me, Hunter! Please!”
He readjusted his body and put his arms under my legs, grabbing onto my hands. He started to move faster. Harder. I cried out in pleasure when he hit a spot so deep inside of me, I immediately came again.
“Bella, I’m coming!” Hunter gasped as he dropped my hands and moved over me, capturing my mouth with his. “Oh God. Yes, feels…so…good.”
I wrapped my legs and arms around him, holding on while his body shook with his own release.
He slowed and stayed inside of me for a few moments, staring down at me.
“You are my entire life, Bella. God, I love you so much.”
Smiling, I ran my fingers through his hair. “And you’re mine. And I love you more.”
He grinned and rubbed his nose against mine. “Come on, let’s go take a shower.”
Pulling out of me, he quickly lifted me in his arms and carried me to the bathroom and into the shower.
It didn’t take long before he was down on his knees, his mouth once again between my legs, pulling another mind-blowing orgasm out of me. Hunter liked shower sex. I liked shower sex, too, and we had a lot of it.
With my head resting against the cold shower tiles, I took in deep breaths to settle my pounding heart. Lifting my head, I laughed. “Now I know why you made this shower so big!”
He winked, and I fell even more in love with him.
Dr. Morgan’s voice brought me back to the present.
“Okay, so let’s see here. First thing I’m going to do is take a few measurements, so we can measure the baby as the pregnancy progresses and gauge how far along you are.”
Staring at the screen, I nodded as I tried not to seem flustered from my thoughts.
Dr. Morgan worked in silence for a few moments, then turned to me and Hunter and smiled before she pointed at the screen. “Look right here at the tip of my nail. This is the yolk sac and the gestational sac. Do you see that little movement? That’s the baby’s heart beating.”
Tears instantly ran down my cheeks as I stared at our tiny baby. Our baby. Hunter and I had made him or her together.
“Looks like you’re a little over seven weeks, by my measurements,” Dr. Morgan said. “Let’s hear that heartbeat, shall we?”
I nodded and wiped at my tears, keeping my eyes locked on the little white blob on the screen. Suddenly, the most amazing sound I’d ever heard in my life filled the room, and I felt Hunter squeeze my hand.
“That is one of the most beautiful sounds I’ve ever heard,” Hunter said, wiping at his own tears.
Dr. Morgan smiled at us. “We want the heartbeat to be over ninety beats per minute.” She clicked a few more keys. “We have a strong heartbeat, at one-hundred-and-sixty-five beats per minute. As you get farther along, the heartbeat will decrease and could range from one-twenty to one-eighty beats per minute.”
“So, she’s got a strong heart, then?”
I looked at Hunter and almost cried even harder when he referred to the baby as she.
“Yes, everything looks perfect. The baby is about the size of a blueberry. She’ll do a lot of growing and changing. Do either of you have any questions or concerns?”
Hunter and I both shook our heads. “I don’t think I have any right now,” I said.
“None from me,” Hunter agreed.
Dr. Morgan gave us a wide smile as she looked back at the screen and did some more typing, moving the screen around to get a better look at the baby.
Five minutes later, she stood and cleaned me off before discarding her gloves. “I made a video and took some photos for you.” She handed the photos to Hunter. “The video will be digital, and one of the nurses will email it you, Arabella. Is the email we have on file still good?”
My mind was swirling around with the sound of the baby’s heartbeat. I nodded. “Yes, thank you so much.”
Dr. Morgan smiled again. “Congratulations to you both. I’ll give you a few minutes, then I’ll meet you up front with some more information. I’d like for you start some prenatal vitamins as soon as possible, but I’ll give you all that information before you leave.”
“Sounds good, thank you, Dr. Morgan.” Hunter shook her hand before she swept out the door and left us alone. The screen had a snapshot of the baby on it, and I stared at it until Hunter said my name and held out his hand for me.
Placing my hand over my stomach, I took in a few deep breaths while Hunter helped me sit up. I swung my feet over, and when he helped me down, I nearly swooned at what a gentleman he was.
“That’s our baby on that screen. Our baby, Bella.”
“I know. When I heard the heartbeat…it was so beautiful.”
Hunter nodded. “How do you feel? Okay?”
I hadn’t experienced any morning sickness yet. But this morning when I’d gotten out of bed a rush of dizziness had hit me, and I’d felt sick to my stomach. Hunter had nearly jumped over the bed to get to me, and I laughed when he almost fell on his ass. Just his hands on me had instantly made the queasiness go away.
“I feel perfectly fine now. I am hungry, though.”
He smiled, and I felt my knees go weak again. “I can’t have my girls being hungry. How about we hit up The Coffee Pot for lunch?”
Smiling, I nodded and took hold of his hand. “Do you want a girl?”
Hunter grinned. “I don’t care. I just want you both to be healthy and happy.”
Tears pricked at the back of my eyes again, and I had to blink a few times to keep them at bay.
“Do you want a girl?” he asked.
“I feel the same as you. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, I just want them healthy.”
Hunter brushed a kiss across my lips before he leaned his forehead on mine and then laughed. “We’re going to be parents, Bella. Holy shit.”
I giggled and placed my hands on his chest. “It is a bit scary, isn’t it? You’re not upset it’s happening so soon, are you?”
“Hell no. Are you?”
I drew back and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. “Not at all. I knew the first night we were together I wanted to have a baby.”
He kissed me once more, laced his fingers with mine, and guided us out of the room to meet Dr. Morgan.
An hour later, we were sitting at The Coffee Pot. I had a large French dip sandwich with French fries in front of me, along with a chocolate milkshake.
“How’s the milkshake, sweetheart?” Hunter asked with a wink.
I’d been craving one for the last two days and hadn’t stopped talking about it. “It’s amazing. No one makes a shake like Tess does.”
Hunter chuckled. “I agree.”
After taking a bite of my sandwich, I wiped my mouth and looked at Hunter. “So, I know we’ve had a lot going on with us moving into the farm house, transporting the hives, and now with the baby…”
“It’s been a whirlwind, but an amazing one with lots and lots of…downtime.” He smiled.
I felt my cheeks warm.
“Tell me what you’re thinking, Bella. I see your brain working overtime.”
The way this man knew me so well still boggled my mind. It was as if he could read me like a book. “I’ve been thinking that I know we said we were going to wait for warmer weather to get married, but I want to get married now.”
