The Reunion: Still Falling For You (EN)

chapter 2.36

After their bathroom escapade, they'd kept the blonde's request and their decision to themselves, but they were even more over the moon. 

They'd spent their Sunday talking about this future pregnancy. Carina had actually been surprised, not that Maya wanted a second baby, for she could well imagine their life with a second child and her wife being a mother again, given the way she acted with Jordan, but especially the fact that she was ready to carry their baby. 

Yes, they'd already talked about Maya carrying their second child, but she didn't really think she would. After all, the blonde had asked her wife if she'd be willing to carry a third child, from her egg, if she didn't feel up to it. 

On Monday, after Jordan's restless night when she'd been ill, late the night before and all night long, Maya was preparing breakfast.

Carina had come up behind her and slid her hands over her belly. 

-"I can't wait to touch your pregnant belly..." the Italian whispered in her ear. 

-"anch'io. Is she finally asleep?"

- "yes, at last."

- "poor little heart. I hate to see her sick." 

- "me too so..."

- "are you calling Dr. Grey today?" 

- "Maya..." Carina said, blushing and resting her mouth on her trapeze.

- "what?"

- "I love you..." she said, biting her lower lip.

-"Wasn't that the plan? That we make an appointment as soon as possible?". Maya turned in her arms.

-"bambina... I'm sleep-deprived and you're playing with my sensitivity..."

- "amore... We didn't spend all day yesterday talking about it so we could get started in six months. I want Jordan and the future baby to play together, I don't want them to have much difference.... I want to be pregnant... I want to be pregnant tomorrow if possible... I want to... I want to give you one more little baby to love... I want to give you a little Maya who will charm you just like I do and to whom you won't be able to refuse anything..."

-"I'll call Dr. Grey as soon as it's a decent hour," Carina said, looking at the clock on the oven and seeing that it was only seven in the morning.

"It's going to be a long day, baby" added the brunette, stroking her wife's cheek knowing that she was going to finish late. They had hardly slept all night. She had already sent a message to her human resources to let them know she was taking a «sick child» leave. 

She could have work from home, but she knew that when Jordan was sick, she demanded a lot of her attention.

-"I've been through worse... You've already kept me up all night ... And then, I've already done twenty-four-hour shifts".

-"Yes, but now you've been worrying about your daughter all night, and I know you'll be worrying about her today when you're at work".

Maya had moved closer and brought her lips up to kiss her wife, but Jordan had started crying again. 

- "I'll get her." 

- "no, go on, you have to eat... And she must be hungry. She threw up so much and we changed her diaper so many times last night..."

Carina had kissed Maya's lips and left to fetch their daughter. On the way to the bedroom she'd taken off her T-shirt and the blonde had watched the bare skin of her back and her hair fall back against her shoulder blades in slow motion, causing her to swallow. The Italian had re-entered the room and Jordan had smiled between her tears, relieved to see her arrive.
