Cadence POV
I woke up to find Evan on the side of me with his dress shirt and pants on. I knew he had to be uncomfortable in them. I looked down to see myself in a purple and gold t-shirt that came to my knees. It even smelled like him.
He was sound asleep. I reached over and unbutton his shirt. I went down to unbutton and unzip his pants. As soon as I did it his hard on bounced to life.
"I’m assuming you’re awake," I said looking up in his eyes."
"What do you expect when a beautiful woman tries to take advantage of a sleeping man."
"I don’t know?" I said straddling him. "I guess the same thing if the tables were reversed. I don’t remember having this on earlier, Mr. McCain."
"Believe me if you were aware, you would be in my arms naked and tangled in sheets," he said kissing me. He deepened the kiss and I slowly lost my senses as he rolled me over and took control.
My body felt so good under his as he kissed my neck. He was really showing me how much he missed me. I opened my eyes as he continued to kiss me. Visions of Garrett and his threats made me want to cry. Even if I wanted to be with Jacob it would never happen with Garrett around.
Staring into Evan eyes made me realize I really wanted him. He had been there for me when things were going hay-wired. He has treated me with respect and has fought for my honor. He embodied the man that I was meant to be with. The secret was out and his family knew about my current occupation and we had moved on from it. I needed to stop being so stubborn and open up my heart to him and see if we could make a future together especially since I was carrying his baby and this child needed him around.
"What’s wrong baby," Evan stopped and looked at me. "You’re crying."
"I’m crying because ... I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed you. I miss being in your arms, I miss seeing your face and most of all I miss your sweet kisses. I love you. Evan please don’t let me go. Promise?"
"Never. You have no idea how much you mean to me and to hear you say the words I know you mean them. You have made me so happy, sweetheart."
"I don’t want to keep any secrets from you. I’ve slept with two clients since we last saw each other. One at the ball and another this week. Remember I was doing my job."
"I’m not going to lie, I don’t want you with other men anymore, I love you and you love me and I don’t want anyone to ever become between us."
"I’m pregnant, Evan." When the words came out his face completely turned white.
"I’ve been sick because I have morning sickness. I went to the doctor on Thursday evening for confirmation. I’m around seven weeks and it’s yours. I hadn’t slept with anyone around that time but you. I understand if you want to get a blood or DNA test. I won’t stop you and if you don’t love me anymore I understand. I’m sorry. I didn’t plan for this to happen. I don’t want you to think I’m a golddigger trying to get your money by having your baby. If you don’t want me anymore, I still want this baby. I have money saved up and I will raise him or her by myself."
He just stared at me. I couldn’t read the expression on his face.
"I don’t have much longer in school and I’m sure I can get a job and support us. I’ve always wanted to be a mother, I just hoped it would be with my husband but things happen and I would love this baby even if you didn’t want it."
"Wow. You feel like that?" He said still on top of me.
"Yes. I wanted you to know, before we go any further." I stroked the side of his face.
"So if I asked you for a blood test, you would be willing to do it?"
"Yes. I would not argue or fight. You just tell me when I need to do it."
"And if the baby is not mine then what?"
"I will understand if you hate me and not want to be with me anymore."
We both sighed.
"At first I didn’t want to tell you. With everything going on with Kara I didn’t want to be a burden. You have so much on your plate, that this might be too much."
"You need me to worry about that."
"Okay," I whispered waiting for him to yell, scream and leave.
"And if the baby is mine then what?"
I looked at him puzzled.
"If the baby is yours I would never keep you out of his or her life. I would hope you would be there every step of the way. I would never deny you your child and I would hope we would raise the child together in love. I would hope Kara would love her sibling too."
He started to cry. I wiped his tears as he rolled us over on our sides as our faces were close. He wrapped his arms around me and held me to his chest. He leaned down and kissed me on top of my head. He was quiet for a while as he stroked my hair.
This child needed it’s father in it’s life. Evan would be an awesome father. This would be his chance to experience this new life we would bring into this world.
"Will you stop working for Lilly now?" he said into the darkness.
"Yes. Things will change drastically. Since I’m quitting I have to find a place to live and the girls will have to enroll in school in the fall for their last year. I have quite a bit of money saved that could hold me until I graduate as long as I budget."
"Let me handle that. I can take care of your expenses. You and your sisters need to focus on school and you need to focus on our baby."
I looked up at him. Did he just say our baby?
"I can’t have both of my babies stressed."
"Evan do you mean it?" I started to cry.
"Sorry I’m just an emotional wreck."
He laughed and kissed each tear that ran down my face. "Cad when you love someone as much as I love you, you give that person your heart and you gave me yours. Even if the baby is not mine, I will still love you because it is a part of you. If the baby is mine it is still apart of you. I hope it gets some of my good genes."
We both laughed.
"Get some sleep I have a big weekend planned for you."
"Really?"
"Yeah just remind me to tell Lacey to order some more portapotties. I know pregnant women always gotta go. You may have thrown up on me but I will be damned if I let you piss on me," he said falling out laughing.
"Shut up and go to sleep. That wasn’t even funny," I said slapping him on his chest as we both laughed. We finally stopped and I snuggled in his arms.
"I love you Evan." The words didn’t hurt or sound foreign to me anymore as I said them. I was right he was the one. All the others just prepared me for this moment. I could still have what I needed and wanted.
"I love you too," he said as he kissed me and we fell into a silence. Before long we had both fallen to sleep.
