Wonder looked up at me with tear stained cheeks. “I can’t keep going through miscarriages. If I lose this baby, that’s it for me.”
“Baby, we don’t have to think about that right now. I promise you, we don’t. Let’s go in here and cut this cake, so I can leave. I want you so fucking bad it’s crazy.” My dick was harder than steel and suddenly, my ass didn’t want cake.
She attempted to step away from me, but I gripped her tighter. “There isn’t anymore leaving, G. You got that?”
She nodded, and I kissed her lips. Fuck, I had my baby back, and the shit felt good.
I lockedmy fingers with Wonder’s as I stroked her slower than I’d ever sexed a woman. I really did want to be gentle because she was already considered a high risk pregnancy, but with the way I felt about her, I might as well experience making love for the first time. I stared into her eyes and no words were spoken, but I prayed to God that she got it. I hoped Wonder knew that I wasn’t lying when I said I was fucked up ‘bout her, and that she was it for me. Since experiencing her, there wasn’t anything another woman could do for me except get out of my face.
“I’m about to cum,” Wonder whispered with her face contorted, almost like she was in pain. I ate her pussy into her first orgasm, and I was ready to feel her muscles gripping my dick.
“Wet me up, baby. I love when you do that shit.” I pecked her lips. “On everything, I love, G. You’re it for me. Fuck a bitch if she not you, baby. I need you so fuckin’ bad.” I parted her lips with my tongue, and Wonder’s body jerked. She moaned into my mouth and dug her nails into my back as she came.
She got so tight and wet that I moaned with her. It was the morning after my party and our second time having sex. The first time I was so backed up, that I came too fast. I was hoping to last longer the second time around, but I was sober, and her pussy was so good, her orgasm caused my seeds to spill into her womb while we continued to share a deep, passionate kiss.
When we were done, Wonder inspected herself carefully to make sure she wasn’t bleeding, then we took a shower together. She had a doctor’s appointment, and I prayed the doctor would give us good news. I wanted our baby, too, but it wouldn’t crush me the way it would crush her if she lost the baby. I didn’t wanther to have to experience yet another heartbreak. It was my plan to make life as stress free for her as possible. I didn’t care if we were in a grocery store. If she got tired of walking, I’d carry her on my back. I didn’t even want her to work if it was going to be too much on her. If she needed me to bathe her every day, I’d do that, too. I was down bad and didn’t even care. Blackmailing Wonder was probably one of the most ignorant things I’d ever done, but it was also the best because it brought us together.
Wonder made a smoothie, and I watched her, so when she wanted a smoothie and didn’t feel like making one, I could do it for her. As I held the car door open for her, I smacked her on the ass when she eased past me. Wonder giggled, and I closed the door. When she gave me the address of the doctor, I typed it into my GPS.
“Your doctor good? Like, do you think she’s the best? Because if you need a specialist or something, just say the word, and I’ll pay for it,” I glanced over at her. My words prompted her to smile.
“I’ve never made it past ten weeks, but I think she’s pretty good. She’s done blood work, ultrasounds when I wasn’t pregnant, pap smears, pelvic exams, the whole nine. I’m not sure how much more could be done. I don’t have endometriosis or any kind of abnormalities with my uterus. I wasn’t drinking lean with my first two miscarriages and even when I got pregnant the third time, I wasn’t using lean every day and hadn’t drunk any in months. I don’t know why I kept losing my babies.”
The last sentence came out shaky because her voice cracked. Reaching over, I grabbed her thigh in an effort to comfort her. “If she says you’re good, then I believe you’re good. Maybe it’s just timing, G.”
Wonder didn’t respond.
“You ready to meet my lil’ girl, or is it too soon?”
Wonder shook her head and chuckled. “Too soon for what? Unless you think we might break up again, I wouldn’t think it was too soon.”
“Nah,” I shook my head adamantly. “There won’t be no breaking up. The first time was the last time. I’m going to get her for about six or seven hours on Sunday.”
“Okay. I’m going to go shopping and get her some stuff.”
Once we arrived at the doctor’s office, it didn’t take long for them to call Wonder to the back. I could tell she was nervous. She couldn’t keep still. If she wasn’t moving her foot, it was her leg, or her hands. I didn’t speak. I just held her hand until the doctor came in the room. When our baby’s heartbeat filled the room, I could practically sense the relief oozing off her. I squeezed her hand, and she looked over at me with a small smile.
“Baby looks good. You are officially nine weeks as of today. It’s too early for us to tell via ultrasound what baby’s sex is, but we know because of your blood work. Would you like the gender in an envelope, or do you want to know now?”
Wonder inhaled through her nose as she looked at me. “It’s up to you. I’m cool with whatever.”
I knew she was probably afraid to know the gender when she wasn’t even sure if she was going to carry the baby to term. After a few seconds, Wonder spoke up. “I want-we want to know.”
“This little bean is a boy.”
Wonder smiled, and I did, too. The doctor advised her to take it easy since she was considered high risk. She said she wasn’t going to put her on bed rest since she wasn’t having any cramping or bleeding, but she advised Wonder to get plenty of time off her feet. That was all I needed to hear to put my foot down. In the car, I made her aware that I didn’t want her working more than five hours a day, and I was surprised when she agreed. I told Wonder I would pay her to be my social mediamanager and to help me with my books. If she needed to hire someone to help her with wrapping cars at the garage so she wouldn’t get behind, I’d pay their salary.
“Nina wants me to go to Phoenix with her. She’s going to this resort that has a mountain view, various spas, meditation retreats, and all that. It’s not a turn up trip. It’s a relaxing trip. She’s going in five weeks, so after my next appointment, I’ll ask the doctor if it’s okay for me to fly.”
Bobbing my head, I glanced over at her. “If the doctor says yes, how can I say no? I don’t want you to be miserable and stop living. I just want you to be careful.”
“Understood.”
The moment I stopped at a red light, I leaned over and pecked Wonder on the lips. I was going to get my happily ever after or die trying.
