Married To Mahone (Book #2)

Chapter Thirteen

I closed my eyes quickly. I can't look! I can't do it! There's so many pros and cons to this. I mean, Austin and I already have our hands full with these two. What would we do if we had another? I would go completely insane. I mean...right? Right? Am I wrong?

"Baby, I'm home." Austin shouted.

Cue the kids running up to him. I giggled to myself as I heard their tiny little footsteps running to their Daddy.

"Austin..." I called for him.

He came into the bathroom.

"What's up, Boo?" He asked.

"I got some pregnancy tests, and I...I can't look." I sighed.

He smiled widely. "I'll look, babe."

I huffed and moved out of the way. I don't know what to do. What if I am? What if I have t-

"-Babe. Earth to Mary." Austin waved his hand in front of my face.

I snapped out of my trance.

"Yes?" I asked.

"You're pregnant." He said.

"I am?" I asked.

"Yeah, isn't this amazing?!" He asked excitedly.

"Yeah...amazing." I faked a smile.

What am I going to do?

"What's wrong Sweetheart? You...you don't want another baby?" He asked.

"Well, it's a blessing. It really is...but, I just don't know how I'm going to keep my sanity." I admitted.

"Baby, as long as we all have each other. We'll all be just fine." He smiled and kissed my temple.

"I love you." I smiled and gave him a peck on the lips.

"I love you too, baby." He wrapped his arms around me.

Later Carter came running into our bedroom as we were watching tv. He sat between us.

"Guess what Daddy!" He shouted.

"What buddy?" Austin asked.

"Someday, when I grow up...I want to be just like you, Daddy." He said.

"Oh...Car." Austin was lost for words.

He just wrapped Carter in his arms. For the first time in a long time...I saw Austin cry.

Watching him be a Dad. Be around the kids. Seeing how happy he was finding out about each and every one. It sure helps me realize how much he must miss his Dad. I mean, growing up with a father had to have been hard for him. I grew up without a Mom, but it's totally different. His Dad died. My mother didn't. I see the look in his eyes when he looks at Carter. He has a little sparkle in his eye. It's like he's afraid he'll lose him. But, as long as I'm here. Nobody is going anywhere. We stick together. We love each other. We are a family. Like it or not. We'll get through the tough times, and the rough patches, just like always. Why? Because we're stronger than that.
