Dixon's POV

Kinsley. It's all for Kinsley. Breathing, eating, sleeping, it's all for one thing. To get my fucking girl back in my arms. Five years, five fucking years of my life and I miss that girl so much. We didn't end because I needed to go to Louisiana, we ended because I couldn't grow up and marry her. She wanted it, and I wanted it to but I couldn't handle everyone trying to be in my face for sleeping with her. So we kept us a secret, and I never told anyone about going home to her at night. She ended up living with me for a whole year, the best year of my life and she waited, waited on me, on us, and waited for us to start our life together. But I couldn't do it when she wanted it.

My father got diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and I couldn't tell Kins that, all she knew was that I had to go to Louisiana when my contract ended. But I never gave her a reason, all she knew was that I wasn't ready to get married as fast as she was. But I was, I was ready, and the day I found out about my dad, was the day I planned on proposing to her. I even flew down to meet her parents before asking and they didn't even know she was a student of mine. They gave me their full blessing and then it all fell apart.

My dad passed, and I pushed her away without telling her what was wrong. I'm a dick.

So now, I packed up and moved to Atlanta. I quit my job and starting coaching high school football as the head coach. Then, I started teaching high school statistics, it's the only was I could get here. I found a small group of guys to hang out with, one of them being Travis, a guy who worked for a power fucking company, the guy I met at a bar with my football buddies. And when he asked for help putting his nursery together for his wife, I said I'd help him. But I had no fucking idea it'd be her, here, barefoot and pregnant in his house, looking beautiful.

Barefoot and pregnant in his house, his arms, not mine.

"Nice to meet you." I whisper softly to her as she looks me up and down. I see tears whelp in those beautiful blue eyes as she bats them away. She's even more beautiful than I remember. Her hair is a bit shorter, and her body is curvier from pregnancy but she's beautiful. Travis is holding her hip marking her, and she's big and pregnant.

"You too, I'm going to get the girls." She mumbles walking off past me as my heart hits my ass. I've slept with his wife, I slept with his wife for a three years. I'm in love with his wife, the woman I came to Atlanta for.

"Sorry she's been out of it for a little while. She's thirty four weeks today. Sav is messing with her emotions. Hormones are crazy." He tells me as I nod slightly.

"Yeah man, I get it." I mumble walking back out of the room with the boxes taking them to my truck. He thanks me and offers a beer next time we go drinking before I walk out of their house. I know about her, I just didn't know it was her. She's married him, she's pregnant, she owns her own business now, and she's the best aunt she can be. I remember her telling me about her family, and when I saw those little girls watching me I knew they were her sisters children.

I get to my truck and look back at the house blinds as I see them move showing her behind them watching me. I see her slightly move as she wipes her face and then she's gone. I blew it, and I'm getting her back.

Kinsley's POV

Dixon, he's here. Dixon, the absolute love of my life, for the rest of my life. I knew I loved him still, I knew I did. But I just thought, that if I married Travis, the guy that I know loves me, it would all be simple. I'd live a simple life with him, but I'm a crying mess right now.

I make my way to the bathroom and shut the door as Travis takes the girls outside. I sob into my hands as I sit down on the toilet lid. I cry into my hands as I sob my eyes out. I love Dixon, I loved him so much. I remember the day after I graduated, we spent it together, loving each other. We had sex more times than I ever could count. He is the only guy, that ever has made me orgasm. I've never had one with Travis, ever and I just-, I don't know how I got pregnant because I honestly never enjoy it. But with Dixon, it was amazing and it was like that for years. Years so long but quick that I knew I was going to marry Dixon. We even spoke about having children and getting married.

I had planned our whole wedding. Everything with him, because I knew he'd bought an engagement ring and hid it under his boxers in his drawer. I knew we were in love, and nothing was going to stop me from being with the love of my life. Except him, when he shut me out and when he pulled away for no reason.

We were at dinner, and I had on the most beautiful dress, I'd done my makeup beautifully, put on heels, and we were in our spot in the woods. We went there for every one of our anniversaries, and I knew he was going to propose. I saw it in his pocket and then his phone started ringing, he left for a minute and came back when our world changed. He told me that he loved me but that he had to go. I thought it was temporary but he said it was permanently. So he took me back to our apartment heartbroken and we broke up that night when I couldn't stop sobbing my eyes out.

But why? Why is he back? Now? With Travis?

"Baby you okay?" I hear Travis tapping on the door as I wipe my face.

"Yeah, just hormones." I lie through the door as I wipe my face. I clean my eyes up as I open the door and he's standing there waiting on me. He pulls me into his chest and avoids my belly as he kisses my head.

"I think Sav's about ready to come into the world." He tells me rubbing my belly as I nod into his chest. I love my husband, I do. He's charming and he's so good to me, he's prefect. I hold his chest close to mine as he rubs my back.

"Hey, hey what's going on?" He asks as I cry into his chest. I shake my head no as I rub his muscular shoulders and hold him.

"I'm a mess right now and I just don't feel well. I haven't all day, can I just go to bed? Will you take the girls to get ice cream or something?" I whisper as I look into his eyes. I know he's never going to say no to me.

"Yeah, go rest and call Grant to see how Eliza is." He tells me as I nod. He leans down to kiss me and I turn my head. I don't know why but I can't help it, I feel like I can't. I don't want to kiss him right now.

"Baby" he tells me as I look away. Quickly lying I come up with an excuse, "I just threw up." I demand as he nods and then kisses my forehead.

"Okay, I love you." He whispers as I nod. I tell him that I love him as he walks away. I find the girls and kiss their heads before going to our bedroom and shutting the door. I immediately call Eliza's phone number.

"Are you okay?" I ask immediately as she sighs. "Yeah, the baby's okay. I'm just a high risk right now, bleeding is apparently common. They told me the lining of my uterus is changing right now and they also told us something else after the scare." She whispers softly as I smile and wipe my tears.

Thank goodness she's okay. Thank goodness baby Westbrook is okay.

"What's that?" I ask. "We're having a little boy which is why this pregnancy is so different. Grant's sperm has slowed down, and his little boy swimmers got one in." She whispers softly as I smile grows on my face. "Really?" I ask as I practically see the smile on her and Grant's face.

"Grant's got a baby Landon, third time with me is the charm." She whispers as I smile and hear Grant behind her saying a "FUCK YES I DID! Thank you hot tub in New Jersey!" As I laugh at them. I smile remembering exactly what he's talking about. I babysat when they went away for Grant's football game for a weekend getaway. I also knew they were trying again, and it just so happened that two weeks after that trip she was pregnant.

"I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared" I whisper as she sighs. "You and me both, I'm in the hospital right now but Grant's coming to get the girls and taking them to our house tonight. His mom and mom are coming to spend some time with them." She tells me as I smile. That'll make their little hearts so happy.

"Okay, I'll tell Travis. Love you." I whisper softly as she starts. "Oh hell no, tell me what's wrong." She demands as I sigh.

"Nothing." I emphasize. "Tell me." She demands as I sigh.

"My emotions are just everywhere today." I demand as she laughs. "I know, I know, I get it." She tells me as I nod.

"I'll call you tonight then." She tells me as I smile. "Yes, bye big sis" I demand as she tells me she loves me and we end the phone call. I hang up and pull the covers away from the bed as I grip the sheets and cuddle into them. I just need to sleep, I just need to sleep and forget everything that's happened today. Dixon is not important, baby Sav, and Travis are, my husband and my baby girl.

But I just can't stop thinking about him. Dixon Hillman, my ex-boyfriend, my ex-love of my life, and my ex-professor.
