Excerpt:
Josh had the sketchbook
Gabriel had given him propped on his legs as he sketched absently as he sat on
the beach, the sun rising behind him, not concentrating on what he was doing,
the pencil moving quickly across the paper. His thoughts were where they always
tended to drift to lately, Avery and the baby. He’d been afraid to sneak down
and see her since the day he’d actually held her. It tore him up inside to be
away from her for so long, but he didn’t understand what that meant, that he
could suddenly touch her and she’d feel it. He didn’t want to scare her
somehow. He smudged one of the lines he’d drawn and studied his work. Her face
stared back at him. He darkened a few lines before he set the book beside him
on the warm sand and closed his eyes, thinking back.
He’d decided to go with
her to that very first doctor’s appointment, the one to confirm whether or not
her suspicions were correct. It was uncomfortable being the only male in the
doctor’s waiting room, being smiled at by every woman who walked in. He could
still see the surprise on the nurse’s face when she walked out and found him
there by himself for the first time. He’d tried to keep from squirming around
anxiously in the chair every time he heard a door open and close in the
distance. He wondered just how long it took to come back with test results
anyway. They’d called and said they were in, so it didn’t take all that long to
tell her yes or no, did it? He kept stretching his legs out ahead of him then
bringing them back, not wanting to trip anyone as they were called for their
appointment. He’d been there at least an hour waiting, jumping at every noise.
He’d been sure the nurse was about to give him something for his nerves when he
felt someone nudge his foot. He scooted his feet back, letting whoever it was
pass by on their way to their appointment.
“Good quiz in Cosmo?”
Avery’s voice came from behind the glossy pages.
He lifted his gaze in
record time. “Who cares?” He tossed the magazine on the empty chair beside him.
She read the cover.
“Rating your lover in twelve easy questions.”
“Avery?”
“What?” She’d been
reaching for the magazine.
“I want to know.”
“I haven’t taken the
quiz yet.” She giggled as he batted her hand away. “You’re absolutely crazy.”
He glanced around the
almost deserted waiting room before he pulled her down to sit on his lap. “I
want to know if we’re going to have a baby.” His arm wrapped around her waist,
his fingers sliding beneath the back of her shirt, rubbing the soft skin at the
small of her back. “I need to know.”
“You need to
know, huh?”
His eyes locked on hers.
“Come on, Aves. Am I going to be a daddy?”
She took one of his
hands and moved it around, resting it on her abdomen. She bit her lip for a
moment before breaking out into the most beautiful smile he’d ever seen. “I think
Daddy’s crazy, don’t you, baby?”
Josh’s jaw dropped, his
mind going absolutely blank as he tried to comprehend her words. She was
kidding, she wasn’t kidding. She didn’t look like she was kidding. That smile
on her face, the way her eyes were shining as she waited for his reaction. “Oh
my…oh my God…”
“So I guess I was
right.”
“Let’s take you home,”
he said suddenly, his hand tightening over hers.
“Why?”
He leaned in close to
her. “Because I want to talk to the baby and then I want to make love to his beautiful
mommy.” He stared into her eyes. “All right with you?”
She blushed as she slid
off his lap. “More than all right with me.”
