“Can we have sex?”
The doctor smiles. “Yes, intercourse is perfectly fine, as long as Avery is okay with it. Most women actually find libido heightened during pregnancy. We also recommend it for easing the birth.”
Dominic’s eyebrows pull in. “So, I won’t hit its head or anything? You sure, Doc? Because I don’t want it to be traumatized.”
How the doctor keeps a straight face, I don’t know, I turn my head away and bite my lip to keep from laughing. He smiles reassuringly at Dominic. “I can promise you, you won’t be traumatic or hit the baby in head. The baby is perfectly safe.”
We meet Molly and Carter at a little steakhouse afterward.
As soon as I get out of the car, Molly runs up and squeezes me. “I can’t believe you’re pregnant! I’m so happy for you.”
My smile falls as Carter pulls Molly back, grinning over at my shoulder at Dominic, who’s frowning at Molly.
“Be careful. She could have squashed the baby.”
I roll my eyes and hold my fingers apart the tiniest bit. “The baby is only this small.”
His eyes soften, as if he can see the baby. He kisses my fingertips.
I hear Molly cough. “Don’t look at me like that! No babies for this girl, for a very long time.”
