Thrive - Side 2

Abby’s pregnancy symptoms seem to be declining which is relieving as I can’t stand seeing her being miserable. Meanwhile, I’m two weeks away from heading to Europe with the boys and we’ll be gone for a month. What’s good is that after we get back, I will be meeting up with Abby to go to her next appointment which is the one where we will find out whether we’re having a boy or a girl.

I know you're probably heading back from your break, but I feel the need to tell you something big, something huge that I'd like for us discuss. I rather us talk about this when you get home if you're not too tired. I love you!

Even though it probably could have waited, I texted Abby about a huge topic I’d like to discuss. Hours later, I heard the front door, so I walked in from the kitchen without saying a single word.

“Al-”

I interrupted her by my lips smashing onto hers, so she responded with the same amount of passion.

“Someone missed me.”

“I did.”

“Well, I missed you too. Thanks for the warm and delicious welcome.”

I laughed before kissing her again.

“My pleasure.”

“So, what is this news?”

“That was it.”

“That you missed me?”

“Yes.”

“Alex...”

She gave me a knowing look.

“Ok. Let’s go sit.”

“Is everything okay?” she asked once she sat down.

“Yeah. I wanted to run something by you.”

She nodded.

“Would you be interested in us buying a new home?”

A smile crept onto her face.

“Absolutely.”

I smiled. I was so fucking happy.

“When did you start thinking about this?”

“It’s been on my mind for the past week or so. I think it’s time to, considering we’re starting our family.”

“I agree. It just feels right.”

I kissed her cheek and pulled her close causing her to giggle.

“Have you started looking yet?”

“I was hoping we could start this weekend.”

“I love the sound of that.”

She turned to me, pressing her lips to mine as she crawled into my lap. I wrapped my arms around her and deepened the kiss.

"Wanna take this to the bedroom?” she asked in a breathy voice.

My cock twitched.

I didn’t answer as always; instead, I lifted her up and carried her to our bedroom, slamming the door shut with my foot. We undressed and I was more than ready to make love to her. Abby, however, took a look around the room as I imagine she was thinking about how we were going to have sex tonight. When she focused in on the chair, I raised an eyebrow.

“Go sit in that chair.” she said against my lips.

I smirked.

“What’s gotten into you?”

“Get over there.”

One great thing about pregnancy? Her libido is off the charts and it is sexy as fuck. I sat down and looked at her lustfully, watching her every move. As she walked closer, I never took my eyes off of her. I grabbed her hips before she even took a seat, so she removed my hands before she sat down.

“Someone’s getting a little ahead of themselves. Aren’t they?” she whispered into his ear.

I could feel my erection growing.

“I just can’t help myself.”

“Clearly.”

I kissed her rather hungrily while I placed my hands on her back.

“Are you-” I asked.

She reached for my cock and placed it at her entrance; I gasped.

“Are you?” she asked directly into his eyes while smirking.

“Yes.”

She maneuvered a bit then I was inside her. My hands were on either side of me while she placed her hands on my shoulders before she began to move her hips.

“Oh my God.” she said, tilting her head back.

This felt so fucking good, I almost couldn’t stand it.

“Abby.”

“K-”

I interrupted by kissing her which was obviously what she wanted and added tongue; she moved a little bit faster.

“I love you.” I said.

So fucking much.

“I love you, too.” she moaned.

After what felt like an eternity, we both orgasmed and she collapsed, burying her head into my neck. I gently kissed the top of her head before we moved and headed toward the bed. She laid down on her side as her chest rapidly rose and fell.

“You okay?” I asked, facing her.

She nodded and kissed me.

“That’s good.”

Two days later, we went out to breakfast before house hunting.

"How's your unhealthy burrito?" I asked.

I was so focused on her having a healthy pregnancy that I turned into a health nut, or in her mind, an asshole.

She rolled her eyes.

"I'm entitled to a treat every now and then. I'm sure our baby doesn't mind. Isn’t that right?” she asked her bump.

"How could you possibly know that?"

"I just do. I'm omniscient like that."

I laughed and shook my head.

“How’s your meat lovers omelette?”

“Touché. Delicious, by the way.”

She laughed.

“Anyway, how do you think today’s gonna go?” she asked.

“I think it’ll be at the very least, a great start.”

She nodded and continued devouring her burrito. After we ate and paid the bill, we got into my car and figured out where we were going to head to first.

“You excited?” I asked, opening her car door.

"Yes." she said, standing up and kissing my cheek.

“Perfect.”

I turned and kissed her which caused her to blush. This was as nerve wracking as it was enthralling. We looked at several houses, but there was one, the penultimate house that stood out. It had three bedrooms, two baths, a huge kitchen, a beautiful wrap-around porch and a pool.

“Abby?” I asked, startling her.

She seemed to be in a daze for a few minutes.

“Yeah?” she said, smiling.

“You drifted off. What’s up?”

“I had an amazing dream.”

She was beginning to tear up.

“What was it about?”

“Our daughter was two years old and in the pool with you while I was eight months pregnant and walking toward you guys...”

I smiled and kissed her.

“What was her name?”

“Scarlett.”

“Scarlett. What a beautiful name.” I breathed.

“If we have a girl, I’m keeping that name. Just have to figure out a middle name.”

“I’m assuming you’re in love with this house, then.”

“I am.”

I wrapped my arms around her while she wrapped hers around my neck.

“I’ll make an offer.”

She smiled into my neck.
