Runaway Husband

11: The Baby

"No."

No? "Oh, um," I scooch back a bit to give Andy some space. "Sorry, I guess I misread that one big time huh," I nervously rub my wrist and stand up.

"Wait, Remi sit down."

"No, no it's okay. You don't have to let me down easy. I get it." I give him a small smile and look back down. "I, um, I should get going."

"Rem, no, stop." Andy stands up and wraps his long muscular arms around me. Ugh he smells so good. I'm so fucking tired I could pass out. "Come on, follow me."

I look around and decide I guess I can live out this awkward moment a little longer before I have to go back. I'm sure it'll be another sleepless night though. I follow Andy and he leads me into a bedroom and I yawn out. Ugh it smells so good in here. Just like Andy.

He hands me an oversized hoodie and smiles. "Only wear this and I want to talk, okay?"

I roll my eyes and grab the red hoodie, stepping into the bathroom to follow what he said. I don't know what else to do. Once I'm done I slip back in his bedroom and he is waiting for me in just a pair of sweatpants that hang off his hips. Fuck...I can't help but stare. He has beautiful abs. I feel  inadequate.

"Come on, lay down." He smiles at me and pulls down the comforter, inviting me in. I slowly crawl in after him and snuggle up in his arms. I barely even know this man except for random conversations we've had at the diner. Yeah he's fucking hot but this is a whole new territory.

"Your bed is so soft," I moan out, closing my eyes against him.

"You didn't misread the situation, babe. I just refuse to be another man to take advantage of you. I want us both to be ready for it, okay?"

"But I am ready for it!" I whine a little.

"No love. Not like this, not when you are in pain from another man taking advantage of you. I promise, I'll show you soon, but I want both of us to be ready."

"I'm scared," I whimper, darkness starting to take over.

"I won't let anything happen to you, just go to sleep. I got you. You are safe."

I moan out a bit as I stretch, my toes pointing as far as they can go. Oh that feels good. I already feel the small kicks in my tummy and I know the baby is happy. The arms around me jerk up a bit and I startle, looking down at what's around me. Oh yeah, I'm at Andy's.

"Good morning sweetie," he mumbles in my neck.

Morning? And it's light out? Shit I'm late!

"What time is it? Holy shit I'm late! I have to go! Fuck they are going to fire me already!"

Andy pulls me back down to the bed and holds me tighter. "Hush I already called Maggie for you. She's giving you today and tonight off."

"I can't!" Panic starts to drown me. "I have to save up for the baby! I don't want to get fired! Holy shit I'm so fucked!"

"Rem calm down. It's okay. Just breathe, alright? Breathe for me."

I shiver a bit and shove my face on his collar bone, my cold nose against his neck. He chuckles and rubs my back a bit, shushing me as he does.

"I was able to get you into a doctor today so you can make sure the baby is okay."

"Oh," I look up at him and he looks down at me, smiling his beautiful smile.

"You could probably find out the gender too."

I shrug, a small smile spreading across my lips. I'd love to find out once and for all.
