As he made love to her, she wondered if this would be the time they would finally make a baby.
Epilogue
Six months later
“We’re pregnant,” Jared said.
“You don’t know that.”
“Babe, you’ve been throwing up in the mornings and your tits are tender. Trust me, we all know the signs.”
Meredith bit her lip as she waited for the stick to turn a pretty color. They’d been trying for a baby, and well, she’d been a little surprised with how long they had to wait. She wanted a baby so badly.
Jared stroked his thumb across her finger, which just happened to be her ring finger. Nerves tugged at her hard.
Their relationship had been a bit of a whirlwind, but it was one she didn’t regret for a single second. Her love for Jared had done nothing but grow. Every day, she got to know a little more about him, and the more she did, the more in love with him she became. What had started out as a crazy idea, having a baby with a stranger, had turned into the best one of her life. She was happy, so freaking happy, and a part of her was a little scared.
Could she afford to fall in love, to give herself to a man? Jared had a way about him that forced all of her doubts out of the window. She was happy. He made her happy.
His family hadn’t been present at the wedding. In fact, according to the press, they refused to have anything to do with their embarrassment of a son. She expected Jared to be hurt by their insults, but instead, he merely looked happy all the time, and because of that, it made her love him so much more.
“Babe,” Jared said, kissing her cheek. “You’ve got to look at the stick.” She didn’t even realize she’d closed her eyes until she finally opened them and looked down at the stick.
Pregnant.
They were pregnant.
She released a squeal and threw her arms around him. “Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We’re going to have a baby.”
Jared held her tightly, spinning her in a circle before slowly releasing her to the ground. He cupped her face.
“I love you,” he said.
“I love you too.”
When his lips touched her, she couldn’t have been happier. She was married to the love of her life, and they were soon going to have a baby.
