Delta's Baby Surprise (Special Forces Elite 1)

I shook my head as we walked back through the woods to the cabin. I didn’t remember any of the walk. I barely remembered the weird meeting between the families. The only thing circling my head was that I might be carrying Brett’s baby.

Twenty-One

Brett

She couldn’t take the test until the next morning, but I raced to the cabin with a truckload for her. It only took five minutes for us to know the answer.

I held her close on the bathroom floor. So, close I could feel her heartbeat against my chest. This wasn’t supposed to happen. None of it was supposed to happen.

“I think I’m going to be sick.” She pushed away from me and held onto the wall closest to her.

I watched her. She was pregnant. She was carrying my baby. I didn’t know whether to burst with pride or wallow in the shame of what I had done. I never would have gotten her pregnant, only to leave her with my child.

I ran my hands over my head and tried to smile when she turned toward me.

“Sorry,” she whispered.

“Are you ok?”

She nodded. “I feel better. Can I have a glass of water?”

“Of course.”

I left Gretchen on the floor while I poured a glass of water for her.

“Here you go.”

She took the glass and drank until it was empty. “I’m crazy thirsty.”

I nodded. “I can see that.”

“It’s common with pregnancy.” I could hear the tone in her voice. She sounded like she did at the hospital, reciting medical facts. “Although, what’s not common is someone who needs a Hail Mary pass to get pregnant to be pregnant after just three weeks of unprotected sex. Even crazier is to show symptoms right away. But everyone is different I guess.”

She wanted an explanation from me but I didn’t have one. “I’m as surprised as you are. I didn’t know it would happen this fast. I loved fucking you that way.”

“It seems like you have super human sperm? Delta sperm,” she teased.

I stretched along the bathroom wall, letting her fall against my chest. “I don’t know, doc. This is the first time I’ve had a baby. You know how all that stuff works. Not me.”

She sighed. “I think we can leave the bathroom now.”

“All right.” I reached for her hand and helped her from the floor. We walked to the living room.

I had to do something. I stacked logs in front of the hearth and started piling them in the fireplace. I struck a match under the kindling. I waited for the warm glow to spread before I sat next to her on the couch.

“I’m freaking out, Brett. What in the hell am I going to do? I’m finishing my residency. You’re leaving. I think I just agreed to be married and on top of that agreed to have your baby. This is insane. We’re going to be parents.”

“Shh.” I kissed her forehead. I didn’t have the answers.

She looked at me and my heart thudded louder than it ever had. I brushed my lips over hers, inhaling everything about her. Her breasts had never looked more tempting.

“Brett, we have to talk.”

“No, we don’t.” I pushed her back on the couch. “Talk to me like this.” I unbuttoned her shirt, letting the fabric drift to the side.

“We’re too rough,” she breathed. “We can’t…” her words trailed off as I pulled the pants over her hips.

“I promise to be careful.” My eyes fired.
