“I love you Dad,” she replied.
“I love you Keegan but you should have told me.”
“I didn’t want to get into the middle of this with you and Mom. I tried talking to you when I was in Chicago. I tried getting you to go to Kentucky with me after hearing how upset she was on the phone. I didn’t think it was my place to tell you about the baby. Nana told me so someone could look after mom so I wasn’t even supposed to know but I kept dropping hints that you needed to talk to mom. You are both so thick-headed.” Our daughter’s eyes lowered to the floor.
He smiled at her. Tilting her chin up so he could see her face. “I don’t blame you,” he replied. “I was teasing you and you are right about us.”
Yancy called after dinner. She just wanted to talk about how excited she was that she and Pop were coming to Keegan’s graduation. Her voice which had sounded tired earlier in the week, had the hint of fire in it that I had missed.
She was also pleased to learn that Kerry now knew about the baby. I guess I was more like my mother than I cared to admit. Letting him find out the way he had was a Yancy move. She even acknowledged that fact. We were both the worst procrastinators when bearing bad news. A baby wasn’t bad news though. Thump. Thump. I caressed my tummy lovingly. I hear you baby.
“Gabrielle,” she said before hanging up, “I’m glad you finally told Kerry…before the child turned seventeen.”
“Thanks Yancy,” I replied sarcastically before telling her goodbye and hanging up the telephone.

After dinner we sat with Keegan who was fine-tuning her speech for graduation the next day. Earlier in the week Kat and I had discussed and agreed that we wanted to move to Hell before the baby arrived so that we could spend some time with Yancy who still had chemo treatments. This before Kerry found out about the baby. I couldn’t help but wonder as I sat next to him in the circle of his arm how he would affect my decision to move to Hell. Would he understand that he once again we or he had to come second?
Keegan kissed us both good night before she made her way up the stairs to her bedroom. Awkwardly we looked at her leaving us alone. Now what? What was next? Tensely we continued to watch television but I doubted that he heard any more than I did.
Finally Kerry spoke, “Gab, do I have to sleep alone tonight? Our daughter is an adult. She knows that I love her mother with all my heart. You’re pregnant with our child. I’ve waited a long time to hold you again.” He rambled.
I smiled at him with understanding. I didn’t want to be away from him either. “We’ll sleep in your room tonight,” I suggested. Sleeping in my bed where I had slept with James seemed too bizarre at the moment.
When Kerry opened the door to his room he took my hand and pulled me into his room along with him. My body didn’t look like it did last time. My belly was swollen with our baby. My breasts were fuller. He would love them at least. Would he still find my body beautiful? I was suddenly self-conscious. I lowered my eyes with embarrassment wrapping my hands together just below my stomach.
“Hey,” his voice was husky. His finger lifted my chin so that I was forced to gaze into his warm amber eyes.
“What?”
“I know that look,” he said. His lips caressed mine so softly while his fingers tweaked my sensitive nipple through the fabric of my clothes. Damn he was good. I had missed him. “You are still just as beautiful as ever,” he told me.
My panties were in danger of catching on fire as his tongue stroked mine and his fingers played with first one sensitive nipple and then the other. His hand splayed across my belly caressing it lovingly. Kick. Kick. Kerry chuckled. Then he reached for the hem of my long sundress and jerked it off over my head with one quick motion.
I was bare to his eyes except for my panties. His strong hands caressed my breasts squeezing them, then my nipples each had his attention while his lips pressed hot kisses against my neck. My collarbone. My shoulder. I groaned deep in my throat.
Kerry’s long fingers dipped into my black, silk panties and caressed my warm, wet folds. He inserted three fingers in me pumping them in and out softly until my legs trembled with smoldering, hotness in my warm wet center. I thought I would crumble to the floor except for his strong arms holding me in a standing position.
“Is it okay to fool around?” He asked hot and bothered by what we were doing in the bedroom. “It’s been so long I can’t remember.”
I chuckled. Now you ask?
“Damn straight,” I replied with wanton eagerness wanting all of him tonight.
With shaking hands I unzipped his pants and yanked his pants and boxers to his ankles in a quick fluid motion. He sucked in his breath as his cock bobbed against my belly. I dropped to my knees and took him into my mouth. Pre-cum met my tongue and tasted so very sweet to my lips when I licked the tip of his cock. I licked seductively the top then the underneath sensitive rim.
“Damn baby,” he whispered holding the back of my head twisting strands of my hair between his fingers like they were silk.
I began an assault on his hard cock with my mouth sucking and working it back and forth with a rocking motion of my head that left him gasping and trembling himself. His head was pitched back. His hand not attached to my head was holding his shirt up. His pants were still around his ankles. He was a sight to behold. I grasped the base of his cock with one hand so I could work it with my mouth better and he groaned deep in his chest. I cupped his balls with my free hand just the way I knew he liked until I thought for sure he was going to explode in my mouth.
Kerry pulled back stopping me from sucking his dick.
“Come here.” He dropped his shirt and grasped my arms pulling me to a standing position. Lucky he did otherwise a graceful way to my feet would not have been possible.
He kicked aside his clothing that was holding his feet imprisoned in a tangle of cloth. He pushed me on my back on the bed. “Let’s see if I remember how we used to do this?” He yanked my panties down and tossed them casually over his shoulder. His eyes were gleaming with mischief. He looked like a kid with a new toy as he climbed on top of me. Kerry held himself high above my protruding belly on powerful arms so he didn’t press his full weight down on our baby. He entered me with such swiftness that I gasped out loud.
“You like that baby?” He asked his voice hoarse and rough with desire.
