“I know, but I want you to have this now.” He stares at the box, then at me and then back at the box again. “Open it,” I encourage him. He tugs at the bow on the top and is struggling to get it undone. I shake my head and laugh, covering his hand, he looks at me. “It’s a gift box, you just lift the lid.”
“Ohh, oops.” He shrugs and then proceeds to remove the lid. He stares down at the positive pregnancy test and then lifts his gaze to mine. “You gave me a pregnancy test.” Nodding, I wait for him to register that it’s positive, but his face remains neutral. He lifts it up and that’s when I realize it’s upside down, the pink positive sign is facing me, he’s looking at the plain white plastic side. Reaching up, I spin it over so he can see the positive sign. He stares at it for a few beats and then his eyes widen. “Are we? Are you?”
Nodding, my grin widens. “Yep, we, well, I am.”
“Are you pucking with me?”
Shaking my head from side to side, I reach up and cup his cheek. “I’m not pucking with you, Kal, I’m pregnant.”
“With a baby?” I laugh, it’s scary how much alike he and Margot are.
“Yes, with a baby. Your baby.”
“Are you serious?”
“Mmmhmpf,” I reply with a nod. He just stares at me, his expression neutral and I can’t tell if he’s excited, angry, or what, but then the biggest of big Kallen Jones smiles appears on his face and all my worries flutter away with the snowflakes that just started to fall. It snowing right now makes this moment perfect in every way.
“This is the best pucking present ever, Chels, and it explains why you’ve been so sick.”
“Pretty much.”
“Why didn’t you tell me as soon as you found out?”
“’Cause you were in jail and I wanted to give you an amazing Christmas present to end the year on a high.”
“Best present ever, and I’m definitely ending the year on a high.”
“Merry Christmas, Kal.”
“Merry Christmas, Chels.” He scoops me into his arms and spins us around. “I’m gonna be a dad!” he shouts into the air. Placing me back on my feet, he stares into my eyes. “I pucking love you.”
“I pucking love you too, now take me home and ravage me.”
“With pucking pleasure.” He dips me backward and presses his lips to mine for a kiss that leaves me breathless, before he whisks me home and we have a pucking good night, naked and sweaty between the sheets. Kal can play my body with precision. He knows exactly where to press, where to suck, and he pucks like there’s no tomorrow.
I’m the luckiest gal in the world.
This is gearing up to be a pucking good Christmas.
CHAPTER14
KALLEN
“So are we going to tell your mom and dad at brunch this morning?”
“Well, Mom already knows—”
“What? How?”
“Well, the night you and Stefan got arrested and Mom was here with me, I threw up when she made me a coffee. She did the same when she was pregnant with me. She ducked out, grabbed a test, and one lil’ pee later, it was confirmed.”
“Ohh, right,” I reply with a nod, hating that while I was in jail for brawling, my wife was alone when she found out she was pregnant. “So, we’ll tell your dad today?”
“Yep. Are you scared?”
“Well, I wasn’t ‘til you said that.”
“Are you scared he’s going to kick your ass for defiling his Pumpkin and knocking her up?”
