The Irish Alpha's Baby

Chapter XI

Chapter XI

"This was really nice and probably the most fun I've had in awhile. Thank you Asher."

We were walking out of the Performance Center, where we had just watched the Nutcracker. It was beautiful to say the least.

"You liked it? So does this mean I can have another chance?" Asher asks hopefully with a goofy smile.

"What do you mean another chance? Like another date?" I asked with a smile.

"Yeah, you know if you want."

I smile widely at him and nod,"Yeah I would really love to."

Asher grins and wraps an arm around my waist, and continues to walk with me. He was so warm that I couldn't help but lean into his side.

"Awe! Congratulations!" An older woman says rushing up to us,"Excuse me I just love babies! How far along are you?"

"Um, I'm almost five months." I say shyly, becoming a little embarrassed with Asher having to witness this.

"So around May? Oh that's wonderful! A May Baby! I bet you and your husband are so happy!" She says clapping a little.

I was stunned but gained back my voice quickly,"Oh no we aren't-"

"Yes we're very happy. Personally I hope it's a little girl."

Asher had come to my rescue, saving me from the embarrassment of her thinking of me as a whore. The old lady didn't seem to notice though as she smiled brightly.

"Awe so sweet. Well have a nice day, and take care of that baby!"

She wanders off leaving Asher and I in silence.

"Sorry, I just thought you might be uncomfortable telling her- you know." Asher says sliding his out from behind my back to scratch his neck.

"No it's fine, thank you. You saved me some explaining." I say with a light smile.

He smiles back and looks down at my hand, grabbing it slowly. Gosh he was beautiful. Yep, it was official he could stay as long as he wanted.

"Hey Tara, I know that I'm not your boyfriend or anything or the baby's father, but if you know, if you want me, I would love to be a part of your lives."

The cold air was wiping around us but that wasn't what made me shiver. It was his words. I hadn't thought about how not having a dad would effect the baby. Sure Asher wasn't really the baby's dad, but if all else fails, I know that he would be the perfect father figure.

Smiling I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a hug. It was something I never expected out of someone, but it was also the thing I wanted to hear the most. That I wasn't going to do this alone, that someone was going to help me get through it all.

"Yeah." I whisper.

"Yeah?" He confirms in whisper as well.

"Yes. I know that this is only our first date but I really hope it isn't the last."

"Me and you both."

Asher strokes my back as I hold on tightly to him making me sigh.

"I like this." he says happily.

"Me too!"

That's when we felt it. The first rain drop

"Asher it's raining!"

We pull away and look up to the sky.

"But it never rains here."

I shrug and hold onto his arm.

We head back to the car and he opens my door like the gentleman he is.

"So home?" He says more to himself than me.

In reality I didn't want to leave, him that was. I wanted to stay with him for the rest of the night, heck maybe even the week.

"So hey the guy at the door, was that your roommates boyfriend?" Asher asks, as he stops at a red light.

"Oh yeah, Daniel, they've been dating almost three months now, but it was long distance. He lives in Ireland, but she met him before he went back. Sorry, I just totally told you their life story." I say laughing lightly.

Asher smiles and presses onto the gas when the light turns green,"That sounds really cool, he seems protective of you both. Which I like, considering I can't always protect you."

I smile brightly and look down at my lap,"You don't have to worry about me, Asher. I can take care of myself."

"Oh I have no doubt but you being so cute and all, might not be such a good thing all of the time."

"Oh; and why is that?"

"Because everybody's gonna wanna scoop you up and I can't let you get away that quick."

Laughing I playfully hit his shoulder making him laugh along with me.

"Your so beautiful." He says as our laughter dies down.

My laughter bubbles to a silence as he continues to stare at me. Beautiful? And he means it?

I tried to answer but failed as a horn sounded and bright lights shined through the car. This was it, my last day...
