Thrive - Side 2

Three weeks passed and I was on my way home. I wouldn’t be able to meet Abby at the airport, so I’m going to meet her for her ob appointment which is coincidentally the same day. I texted her after the plane landed.

Just got here. See ya soon!

Ten seconds later.

Be there in 5.

I got out of the Uber and grabbed my belongings, eager to embrace her. I walked over and dropped my stuff before embracing her and picking her up. She locked her legs around my waist and kissed me.

“I missed you. I really did.” she said, smiling straight at me.

“I missed the both of you.”

“How about you two have a nice chat before we head in?”

I smiled and set her down. I kneeled and lightly touched her stomach.

“Hey there. Hope you’ve been treating your mommy okay. I love her, too.”

She ran her hand through my hair and continued to smile. I kissed her belly and then the baby kicked.

“Did-" I started to ask, looking up at her.

She nodded.

“This first started right before I walked out the front door this morning.”

“I love you.” I said against her belly.

Another kick.

“Isn’t that amazing?” she asked when I stood back up and met her lips.

“Incredibly amazing.”

“Ready to go inside?”

“Once I put my things in your car. Yes.”

Seconds later, she took my hand and we made the short trek to the office. When she donned that gown they make you wear, I whistled.

"You look hot." I said, raising my eyebrows.

"You're a goof." she said, laughing and gently pushing me.

I laughed as well.

"Don't forget you owe me big tonight." I said, going in for a kiss.

"I haven't forgotten. Now, help me up."

I did and we kissed, then five minutes later, her obstetrician walked in.

"Abby."

"This is my husband, Alex."

They shook hands.

"Great to finally meet you."

"Great to meet you, too."

"I've heard a lot about of you."

She looked at me to see my response.

"All good things I hope." I said, moving hair out of my face.

“Absolutely."

"That's a relief."

A minute later, the cold gel was on her bare stomach while she held my hand. This is how things are supposed to be; me being here during the most vital moments. The heartbeat was audible; she looked over to me to see my face. I had a hand over my mouth and I was smiling; she kissed my cheek.

“Would you two like to know what you’re having?”

We both said yes. After searching for maybe ten seconds, she smiled.

“Looks like you’re gonna have a girl.”

Abby smiled and kissed me. Baby Scarlett.

“Your wish came true.” I whispered.

She couldn’t stop smiling.

“Congratulations.”

Her ob printed out a picture and in no time, we walked out into the parking lot. She leaned up against me until we got to her car; since I insisted on driving.

“She’s beautiful and she’s not even here yet.” I said with the sonogram picture in my hand.

She placed her head onto my shoulder.

“You’re perfect.”

“No. I’m not.”

“Well, you’re pretty damn close.”

I kissed the top of her head.

“I love you.” I said.

“I love you, too. Hey, I wanna call Miranda and Jack tell them the great news.”

She moved and took out her phone; she put it on speaker and called Miranda.

“Hey, girl.”

“Heyyy. Alex and I gots some great news.” she said, drawing out the first word.

I laughed.

“My appointment went well. We found out what we’re having and drumroll please.”

She actually did one.

“We’re having a girl!”

She squealed.

“We’re gonna have a niece. You hear that, Jack?”

“I heard that, babe.” he said, laughing.

This caused us all to laugh.

“That’s amazing, you guys.” he added.

“It really is and it’s balancing things out like you wanted.” Miranda said.

"Yeah.” Abby said, snuggling into me.

"Thanks, you two. Uncle Jack and Aunt Miranda." I said.

“So, when I talk to you, I can refer to her as Scarlett? Right?” Miranda asked.

“Of course. Baby Scarlett.”

Just as she said this, I rubbed her belly.

“Well, I’m gonna let you go, hun. I know you have to work soon.”

She sighed.

“Unfortunately. Ok. I’ll talk to ya later, then. Bye.”

“Bye.”

She hung up and put her phone in her purse.

“Do you really have to go to work?” I whined.

“Yes. Now, who’s the baby?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Can you blame me? I come back, go to this appointment and then, your job is taking you away from me for nine hours.” I said against her shoulder.

I began laying kisses on her shoulder and when she had moved her head aside, my lips were on her neck.

“Alex.” she breathed, running a hand through my hair.

“Yes?”

I looked at her with a hunger in my eyes.

Please.

“I have to go. I can’t be all hot and bothered going into work.”

“Sure you can.”

“I gotta be able to concentrate. I don’t need to mess up any orders.”

“Ok, but tonight, we both know what you're gonna concentrate on."

I smirked and she smirked back.

"I do. Let's get going. I still have to change into my work clothes."

I nodded and kissed her. The drive was a short one and I could notice Abby was hesitating getting out of the car.

"Don't wanna go?"

"Of course I don't. I just got you back an hour-and-a-half ago and now I have to go." I said, pouting.

She smiled and I kissed her.

"What time do you need me back here? Nine?"

"Yes."

"I love you and I'll see you then."

"I love you, too."

And with that, she got out of the car and headed to the restaurant while I settled for heading home. The hours seemed to drag while I was home with our dogs, but when the time came to pick her up, I was full of energy. I waited in the parking lot for maybe five minute when I finally saw her. She got in the car and immediately kissed me.

"Did someone miss me?"

"Immensely. The day was so long, I thought it was never gonna end."

"But, it did and here we are about to go home."

"...and have amazing sex."

She bit her lip as she awaited my reaction.

"Exactly." I said, licking my lips.

We could not have gotten home faster.

“Give me a minute. I need to pee. Strip down to your briefs and go sit.” she said, walking into our bedroom.

I groaned and did as she said; I was growing uncomfortable as I waited, but I didn’t have to wait long. She walked out to see him sitting on the edge of the bed in my briefs waiting for her.

“Abby.” I breathed.

“Mr. Gaskarth.” she said seductively while walking toward me.

My cock twitched at that very moment which caused her to smirk.

Glad that she’s amused.

She crawled into my lap, placing my hands on her hips and hers on my shoulders.

“What can I do for you, Sir?” she said, kissing along my jaw.

My hands traveled to her ass. When I didn’t respond, she ground her hips into mine as much as she could which caused me to moan.

“Go down.”

She traveled down my neck while she laid kisses on it.

“Bite.”

She bit down and I moaned again as I ran my fingers through her hair. She kissed down my chest while she got off my lap before kneeling directly in front of me. She rubbed me through my briefs prior to removing them and springing my erection.

“May I?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes.”

Her tongue landed on the tip and I cocked my head back in pleasure. She slowly enveloped me which drove me crazy and she started to really use her tongue. I took hold of her hair and pushed her down farther while she started to bob her head up and down.

“Fuck. I’m almost there.”

Knowing I was gonna come at any second, she removed her mouth and replaced it with her hand to finish her off. My cum landed mostly on her face, but partially on her chest.

“Do I have permission to kiss you?” I asked as she came back to her level.

“Yes.”

She stood, followed by me and those lips overpowered hers.

“You taste so fucking good.” I said in a husky voice.

Oh, fuck.

“Thank you, Sir.”

“No need to call me sir. Call me Alex.”

“Ok. Alex.”

She wrapped her arms around my neck and hungrily kissed me.

“Bed?” I asked.

“Bed.”

“May I take your bra off first?”

“Please.”

I reached behind, unhooking it followed by Abby burying her head in my chest. I fully removed it and she reattached her lips to mine as she got into bed where a pillow had been propped so she could lie on it.

“I have a question.” I asked, hovering above her.

“What is it?”

“Can we be done with the role playing? It’s fun and all, but...”

“Of course.”

“I want my wife back. It was also fucking hot, too.”

She laughed, but it didn’t last as I felt my lips landed on her skin and a hand near her panties. She omitted a moan and bucked her hips; she is glorious. I laid kisses down her entire body, even rubbing her breasts before focusing on her panties.

“Take them off.” she said, meeting my hand with hers.

I looked up for a second before doing so; In a split second, my mouth landed on her pussy, followed by my tongue.

“Alex.”

I landed on her clit and she grabbed my hair in hopes of guiding me. Around five minutes later, she came and let go of the tight hold she had on my hair. I moved back up to her and kissed her, touching her face.

“I love you.” I said.

“I love you, too.”

I pressed my forehead against hers and smiled.

“Can we make love sideways?” I asked.

“Of course.”

“Ready?” I asked, once we were in position.

“Yes.”

My hands remained on hers that were placed on my belly as I thrusted in and out of her.

“Oh my God.” she moaned, closing her eyes.

“Fuck. You feel so good.”

“So do you.”

When we came several minutes later, we were exhausted and ready for sleep. She faced me while I laid on my back and she placed a hand on my chest.

“That was amazing.” he said.

“And overdue.”

“Definitely.”

She took her gaze off me and sighed.

“What’s wrong?”

She shook her head.

Bullshit.

“Abby. I know you and I know when something’s wrong.”

“Did you know how unsure I was about wearing lingerie? I didn’t know how attractive I could possibly be wearing it now that I’m pregnant.”

Tears began to run down her face. I made a face and turned onto my side and pulled her close as I could.

“I don’t know how you could possibly feel that way. You’re the most beautiful and attractive woman on the planet and nothing’s ever going to change that. Do you understand me?”

She looked into my eyes and nodded. I kissed her forehead and wiped her tears.

“I love you.” I said.

“I love you, too.” she said, smiling.

“There’s that smile I love so much.”

“There’s something else I’d like to tell you.”

“And what’s that?”

“You made me feel so sexy the second I walked out of the bathroom and you didn’t take your eyes off me, not even for a second."

“It’s impossible not to.”

Absolutely impossible.
