Will You Love Me?

Chapter 36

"Mommy!" Nate ran into your open arms, giving you the biggest hug you have ever gotten from your son. You picked him up and held him tightly in your arms, while kissing his head. "How's my boy?" You asked. He smiled and said, "Good! Em doing good, too!" 

You looked over to Wanda and Tim who were still walking over to you. They had Em in a stroller so she wouldn't have to walk too much. As soon as your little girl saw you, a smile lit up on her face. "Mommy!" She excitedly, but with a hint of exhaustion. 

You got down on your knees and kissed Emma's head and cheeks several times. "How are you feeling, sweetie?" She nodded and said, "Good. Tired." You brushed her hair back and ran your thumb down her cheek, careful not to touch her oxygen tube. 

"Where daddy?" She asked, while anxiously looking around the set. Ben was still filming a scene, but he would be done in a few. "He's working right now, honey," you told her. "Want to go watch?" Her and Nate nodded furiously, to which you laughed. 

You stood up and hugged Wanda and Tim, thanking them for all they've been doing with the kids. You then took a sleeping Conner from Tim and cradled him in your arm. "We're just going to back to the hotel," Wanda told you. "We're quite tired from the drive."

"Oh, of course! Will you be joining us for dinner?" They nodded and told you, "We'll be there around five." After exchanging goodbyes, you pushed the stroller with one hand, held Conner with the other, and made sure Nate was sticking to your side. 

Mom power. 

You told the kids to be very quiet when you got to where Ben and Martin were shooting a scene. Nate and Emma were bouncing with excitement at the sight of their dad. They kept shooting for a few more minutes, but then Steven called for a ten minute break. 

While Ben was talking to Martin and Mark about something in the script, Nate shouted, "Daddy!" Ben looked over and a smile appeared on his face immediately. He said something to Martin and Mark, before sprinting over. 

Nate ran to him and got scooped up in his dad's strong arms. "I miss you, daddy," Nate pouted, while hugging Ben around his neck. Ben rubbed his back and kissed his head. "I missed you, too, buddy." After one more kiss on the head, he set Nate down, then knelt down to Emma. 

"Daddy," she started crying, while reaching out to him. "Oh, princess," he cooed, while carefully taking her out of the stroller. He took one of her blankets and wrapped her in it once she was settled in his arms. He kissed her cheeks and head, saying, "Don't cry, sweetheart. I'm here." 

He looked to you and you could see tears forming in his eyes. "I think I'll need a make-up fix in a bit here, love," he told you with a light chuckle. You laughed and continued to watch your husband and daughter, the best relationship there is. 

Some wives would be jealous that their child was more dedicated to one parent than the other...but not you. Whenever you saw these two together, your heart warmed up immensely. The way Ben holds Emma like she's a precious gem, the way he looks at her, and the way he talks to her was enough to bring you to tears every time. 

Besides, you had your two boys. Nate and Conner were hooked to you. 

"I didn't say hi to my baby boy," Ben said, coming over to kiss Conner. He stirred a little, but didn't wake up. Ben then kissed you and said, "I can't wait to have another one." You smiled and took his free hand, placing it on your stomach. 

"You won't have to wait for long," you told him. For the tiniest moment, he was confused, but then his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. Before he could say anything, you said, "I took the test this morning. I was so moody this week because of the hormones."
