Saving them

12

We couldn't help but smile as we left Addy's office.

"How are we gonna tell Em?" I asked trying to figure out a way to tell her what her sibling is gonna be.

"Let's go to the store and get some stuff and give them to her as presents." He replied while watching road. He put his hand on my thigh rubbing soothing circles.

"That might work." I said before letting my mind wonder to all the stuff that needed to be done before the little one could be born.

"What am I gonna do all the baby stuff I have is back home the crib all the baby bath stuff diapers just everything. Oh god I'm still missing stuff I'm-" I started to rant but Asher quickly stopped my ranting by grabbing my hand and kissing it.

"Stop worrying it's not good for either of you. If everything is at your house then we can go back and just stay there. I know Damon's back but you have me and when Austin finds out the gender we won't be able to get rid of him." Asher said with a smile thinking about how his friend is going to fallow us anywhere.

"Would you both be willing to come back with us? You don't have to you can stay here if you'd like." I tell him playing with the hem of my shirt.

"I would go anywhere with you. If you wanna go home then we will if you wanna stay here then we'll go buy new everything I'll even make Austin's ass sleep on the couch and make his room the kids room." He said pausing to park the car in a spot before turning towards me.

"I'm not kidding when I say I will keep you as close to me for as long as possible you and our kids are my life. And yes I said our kids I know I'm not their dad and I'll never replace him but I'm going to be there for them." He said with so much confidence.

I couldn't keep my eyes from watering at the thought of him wanting to be in my kids life. He wants to be there through it all and that made my heart swell at the thought but soon concern set in.

"But what if you want to start fresh with someone and make your own kids just your own kids no step in front. I can always give you kids but Em and this little one aren't your flesh and blood. Ash we are still young you could still have your own kids a house a wife everything." I tell him taking both his hands in mine looking in his eyes.

"L I'm not going anywhere. When I opened that letter with the ultrasound of Em I fell in love with her, seeing you in my doorway a few days ago I fell even more in love with you but seeing you pregnant I thought my heart was gonna explode. But seeing you fall unconscious on my floor scared the shit out of me. I love all three of you and I'm not going anywhere unless you spend me away." He told me with honesty clear in his eyes.

"Now I think we have a gender reveal to prepare for." He said with a smirk before exiting the car with me following behind him.
