Jackal (Heartlands Motorcycle Club #12)- Frankie Love Page 0,27
nervous since we’re going to go on this big trip, so I went to the clinic yesterday and they gave me a urine test, and I'm pregnant. They said there is nothing to do until I come in for a 10-week ultrasound, when we can hear the heartbeat. I told them we were traveling to New Zealand for a month. And they said they understood, that that was totally fine. And that I should just make sure I take good care of myself and get good rest and not overextend myself in any way, but that we should enjoy our trip. And when I come back, it'll be almost time to go to the next appointment."
She's smiling so big, so wide. My heart is goddamn bursting.
"Wow," I say. "You really trumped my anniversary present."
"Yeah?” she asks. "What is it?" She opens the box and she lets out a gasp. "Oh, Jackal," she says. "It's beautiful." She takes out the ring and slips it on her finger.
It's an antique diamond. When we got married, we exchanged simple gold bands, both of us saying fancy jewelry wasn't necessary. And while she saves her money for our trips, I’ve stashed some of my extra money away this year for this diamond ring.
"It took five years," I say. "And maybe that’s too long."
"Shush," she says. "We made that choice together. We made our priorities together."
I nod. "I know, baby. But I thought it was time to get my girl a ring — a real ring."
She smiles as I slip it on her finger. "You know I'd marry you all over again," I tell her. "You've made me the man I am, the husband I get to be and the father I..." I shake my head in disbelief, pressing my hand to her belly. "We're going to have a baby."
She smiles. "Yeah, we are."
I pick her up off the counter. "I'm so fucking in love with you," I say as I carry her to the bedroom, laying her on the bed. She pulls off her shirt and I tug down my sweats, naked and alone in our home.
We'll be traveling for a month. But there is no place I'd rather be than right here. With my wife.
She opens herself for me. And I take her nice and slow, remembering the first time we made love, how we were both nervous and scared, how it was all so damn new and all so damn right.
"I love you, Jackal," she says.
"I love you more."
And it's the goddamn truth. The both of us became adults here in the Heartlands and we've really grown up in the last five years, together.
I kiss her slowly, with intention, wanting her to know that she is, and always will be, the love of my life.
