`` aw , he 's going to be a good big brother , '' angie remarked . |
aidan chuckled . |
`` yeah , he 'll be fine until caroline needs emma . |
then he 's going to be ready to sell her to the gypsies . '' |
a nurse exited emma 's room . |
`` you can go in now . '' |
as she gazed around the crowd , she shook her head . |
`` well , some of you can go in . '' |
rising up off the floor , aidan took noah 's hand . |
`` come on , buddy . |
mama wants to see you . '' |
noah did n't bother waiting on aidan . |
he barreled through the door . |
`` mama ! |
mama ! '' |
he cried . |
megan smiled as she watched him climb up on emma 's bed . |
`` there 's my baby boy ! '' |
emma cried hoarsely , smothering both his cheeks in kisses . |
he snuggled up to emma 's side . |
`` come on , meggie . |
you and pesh come in first , '' aidan suggested . |
megan did n't argue with him . |
instead , she took pesh 's hand and followed aidan inside . |
emma glanced up and shook her head . |
`` i 'm so sorry for ruining your engagement party . '' |
`` you did n't ruin our night , '' pesh reassured her . |
`` that 's right . |
we kept right on partying-it did n't bother us at all , '' megan teased . |
emma laughed . |
`` i 'm glad to hear that . '' |
megan smiled and jerked her chin over at aidan , who sat in the rocker with caroline . |
`` congratulations on a beautiful baby girl . '' |
`` thank you , '' emma replied , as a beaming smile lit up her face . |
`` are you feeling okay ? '' |
pesh asked . |
emma nodded . |
`` it was a little easier this time and a lot quicker . '' |
she turned to aidan . |
`` and this time i did n't have to worry that aidan might not make it . '' |
aidan chuckled . |
`` no , you just kept screaming at me to drive faster because you were not going to deliver caroline on the side of the interstate . '' |
emma 's cheeks flushed . |
`` i guess i was a little panicked . '' |
pesh took megan 's hand and squeezed it . |
`` we better go and let the others have a turn , '' he said . |
`` do you want us to take noah back with us ? '' |
considering he was plastered to his mother 's side , megan was n't really looking forward to trying to take him . |
emma gazed down at her son with love burning in her eyes . |
`` no , i think he can stay here with us a little longer . |
i might get connor to take him home . |
i know he 'll be here until casey delivers . '' |
`` are you sure you wo n't need your rest ? '' |
megan asked . |
`` oh , i 'll pawn him off to aidan and make sure i get plenty of sleep until miss caroline needs me , '' emma replied , with a sly smile . |
aidan did n't argue with her . |
he looked perfectly content to lose sleep if it meant being surrounded by his wife and children . |
after exchanging a few hugs and kisses , she and pesh headed out into the hallway and let the next group in . |
as they walked down the hall hand in hand , pesh turned to her and smiled . |
`` you know , i never thought i would see the day i would be envious of aidan again . '' |
`` what do you mean ? '' |
he heaved a sigh . |
`` seeing him with his children makes me envious . |
one day i hope that 's you with my child in your arms . '' |
`` oh , '' she murmured . |
whether or not they would have children together had never really been discussed . |
it was almost a given that they would , so it did n't seem necessary to iron out when and how many . |
she wanted nothing more than to give pesh a baby of his own . |
he was truly the father mason had never had . |
`` give me a year , '' she said softly . |
his brows furrowed in confusion . |
`` what ? '' |
`` i 'd like one year for us to be together as a married couple before we try to have children . '' |
`` that only makes me an even older father , '' he protested . |
`` you 'll be fine . |
you 're awfully spry for your old age . '' |
he laughed . |
`` i just do n't want to be on a walker at his or her high school graduation . '' |
she smacked his arm playfully . |
`` one year is not going to make that much a difference . '' |
`` fine . |
you win . |
we 'll wait one year . '' |
as the elevator doors dinged open , they stepped inside . |
gazing down at her , pesh said , `` i could n't have picked a more amazing mother for my future children . '' |
`` yeah , i got ta agree that you did good , nadeen . |
real good , '' she teased . |
he cupped her face in his hands and gave her a lingering kiss that silenced anymore of her comebacks . |
when he pulled away , she smiled at him . |
`` keep kissing me like that , and i might decide to wait even longer for a baby . |
you 'll make me want you , your lips , and your dick all to myself for as long as possible . '' |
`` and here i thought my kisses might get you in the mood for baby-making , '' pesh mused . |
megan laughed . |
`` either way , it 's a win-win situation . |
so bring it on , nadeen . |
bring . |
it . |
on . '' |
chapter twenty-two although her stomach screamed in protest to drop her fork , megan could n't resist popping in the last bite of delicious crepe into her mouth . |
as she chewed , she closed her eyes at the delicious combination of chocolate and strawberries danced along her taste buds . |
