I open the door to his workshop and find him hard at work. He looks up with a smile as I enter.

“Hey, beautiful,” he says cheerfully. “I was wondering when I’d get to see you.”

I sidle up to him slowly, feeling shy all of a sudden. He seems to sense that something is going on because he cocks his head to the side with a smile.

“Hey, what’s going on, baby?”

“I’ve got a surprise for you,” I say, my heart racing double time now. Tate cocks an eyebrow.

“Oh yeah? What’s the surprise?”

My heart leaps in my chest. I have to be brave and just spill the beans. I hold out the pregnancy test for him to see, watching his entire face change into one of shock.

“I’m pregnant,” I whisper.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Tate

Words fail me as I look at the pregnancy test in Macy’s hand. I can barely believe what I’m seeing. I know that we haven’t exactly been careful. I’ve been going raw inside Macy since our very first time. And I knew that this would happen for us someday. But seeing that we’ve already created a life together so quickly… knocks me off balance completely.

I can barely believe our luck. I never expected to receive such good news so soon. I raise my eyes to meet Macy’s and see the anxiety in her eyes.

“Are you okay? I know this is a big deal and a huge step for us…but I’m so excited, Tate. I just…I just need to know you’re on board too.”

“Are you kidding me?” I exclaim. “Of course, I’m on board! This is the most incredible news I’ve ever heard!”

I grab Macy and pick her up, spinning her around as she giggles. Our lips crash together in a kiss like no other. I feel so much happiness inside me that I feel like I might burst. She’s given me a gift so incredible that nothing else will ever top it.

As I put Macy back down, I see that her eyes are filled with tears. Not tears of sadness, but of happiness. I cup her cheeks with my hands, feeling joy almost overwhelm me.

“Macy, thank you,” I tell her in a husky tone. “Knowing that the love of my life is carrying my baby. Nothing else in the world matters to me. It’s just you and me and our baby, that’s everything to me. I want you to know that.”

“I do,” Macy whispers. “My brain was trying to make me doubt you. Trying to tell me that this would destroy us. That this is too soon for us. But I know that’s ridiculous. I knew you’d be over the moon about this. And now that we are pregnant we can really start planning our future together.”

“Nothing in the world sounds better,” I say. I lean in for another kiss, still riding the high of this news. It still feels too good to be true, like I’m living in a dream. But I’ve waited forty years to find her. I deserve this. I deserve to finally be happy. I don’t need to wait anymore. I have Macy, and she’s everything I could ever need or want.

I abandon my work and take Macy back up to bed. With her body writhing beneath me and her breathing labored from pleasure, I know I’m truly in heaven. We make love with our eyes locked on one another, and it feels better than anything we’ve done together so far. It’s pure magic, and we both know it.

By the time we’re both spent, lying naked in bed together, we fall into quiet contemplation. We both know what this news means for us. It means that our lives will never be the same again. Once the baby arrives, we won’t have time to think about anything else. But that’s okay with me. All I care about is my family. And that means Macy and our future children. The rest of the world is just white noise.

The baby is going to shape our future. In the next few months, Macy is going to start showing, her sexy curves taking on a new shape as pregnancy takes over. And then, when she’s had our baby, our nights will be taken up with caring for them, shaping his or her future.

It’s hard to comprehend. I’ve spent so many years alone. I was starting to think that I’d never find the perfect woman for me, the woman I’ve sought out for so many years. Now that she’s beside me, it’s like life has started to fast-track ahead. And soon, my once empty household is going to feel much fuller. Everything is happening at once, and it’s as incredible as it is terrifying. I feel so lucky to be able to have this experience.

Macy seems to sense that I’m getting into my own head because she slips her hand into mine with a gentle smile.
