“Which one did you like? Were all the houses we saw terrible? Was there one that caught your eye?”
“I did like the one we saw on Tuesday. The first one. I know I was being a pain about it, and there are some things that I don’t necessarily love, but it’s a good house.”
Jacob nodded before kissing her. “I’ll call the realtor in the morning,” he said. “Is that okay?”
Kina nodded, her profile barely visible in the dark. They had talked about it some more, and Kina was on board with moving to a new home. Jacob was relieved that they had come this far. He understood now that Kina had been afraid of losing what they had together, what they had built from scratch. He had convinced her that he would do his best to bring their past with them, to not leave anything behind, to move forward. She still seemed unsure, but she was on board with him putting in an offer on a house.
It was a great achievement.
The next morning, as soon as offices all over the city opened, Jacob dialed the realtor’s number.
“Hi, Diane,” Jacob said. “This is Jacob Larson. We came to see a house with you a few days ago.”
“Oh, yes, I remember. How could I forget?” She giggled, star struck. Jacob would never get used to grown women giggling around superstars, but there it was. “I am afraid I have bad news, though.”
“That’s not good,” Jacob said.
“Unfortunately, that house has been taken off the market.”
“What was the reason?” Jacob asked.
“The owner was asking far too much. He wouldn’t bring down the price, so the only other option was to withdraw.”
It was a pity. Jacob had really liked that house, and he had managed to convince Kina that it was the one.
“And the other one?” he asked. “The one we saw on the same day?”
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Larson. I’m afraid this isn’t what you want to hear. The pipes burst in the second house, and it was taken off the market due to water damage. I don’t know how long it will take to be repaired. It has been postponed indefinitely.”
“Well, that is a shame,” Jacob said. “I guess that means we’ll just have to keep looking. You’ll contact me if you have anything that fits our requirements?”
“Oh, absolutely, Mr. Larson. At your service.”
Jacob hung up the phone, feeling despondent. After the long talk he’d had with Kina, this was the last thing he wanted to hear. He walked through the house and found her in the playroom with Nate.
“I just spoke to the realtor,” Jacob said to Kina.
“Oh?” Kina’s expression was impossible to read. He couldn’t tell if she was anxious or not.
“Both houses we like have been taken off the market.” There was no easy way to say it. He watched Kina’s face, waiting for a response.
“So, what now?” she asked carefully.
Jacob picked up one of Nate’s soft toys and held it out to the boy. Nate flashed him a charming grin, taking it from him.
“I guess we keep looking,” Jacob said.
They sat together in silence for a while, spending time with Nate. The silence wasn’t strained this time.
“Maybe this is a sign,” Kina said. She looked at Jacob with big eyes. She wasn’t sure how he would react to her saying that, but he strongly believed in signs from the universe. She didn’t want to fight with him again, though. She had told him that she would move, and they would both make compromises for each other. Besides, going to a new place was exciting if she tried to ignore the fear.
But now?
“You think the universe is telling us that we shouldn’t move?” Jacob asked.
Kina shrugged. “I believe these things happen for a reason. We can still move, but maybe not right this minute.”
Jacob nodded. It wasn’t the reaction she had expected. It was positive.
“Well, we’ll still have to keep looking, so waiting is going to happen whether we like it or not. You know we’ll find the right place, right?”
He looked at Kina, trying to gauge the reaction. It was still difficult to tell whether she was happy about this or not.
“I know,” Kina said. “And when we do, I will have peace about it. Until then, let’s carry on living our life here, making memories as we go along.”
Jacob nodded and pulled his wife closer for a kiss. Kina was right. They would carry on living their lives, not putting anything on hold until they found a new place. The right house would come, and when it did, Kina wouldn’t be worried. Everything would work out in the end.
They loved each other, so there was no other way.
Just after lunchtime, Kina got Nate down for his nap. When he was asleep, Jacob took his wife by the hand and led her to the bedroom. He wanted to be with her, wanted to hold her. Sometimes, it felt like they grew apart, even though they lived side by side. It was important to reconnect now and then.
In the bedroom, he kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed his tongue into her mouth.
Having sex with Kina while she was pregnant was different. The first time, it had taken getting used to, but this wasn’t his first rodeo anymore, and he knew what he was doing.
Kina knew that he would be gentle with her. Everything about her body was different when she was pregnant, and the first time, she’d thought it would be complicated.
With Jacob, everything in the bedroom was straightforward and simple.
Like, for instance, the way he pulled down her pants, getting rid of her underwear, too, before he laid her down on the bed. He kneeled between her legs and put his mouth over her pussy. She moaned when he sucked on her clit. He licked and sucked her, making her shudder and moan. Her emotions and her hormones were heightened, and everything he did made it feel like he was sending shocks of electricity through her body.
When he slipped his fingers into her slit, not letting up on her clit with his tongue, she moaned again. She tried to keep it down–the longer Nate slept, the longer they could do it–but Jacob slipped a finger into her, and she moaned louder than she’d meant to. Jacob was so fucking good at what he did, sucking on her clit, finger-fucking her, making her forget about everything except the pleasure he was creating.
An orgasm started in her core and washed over her. Her stomach contracted, the orgasm tugging at her uterus, and she breathed through it, torn between worry about the contracting and the intense pleasure that came with the orgasm.
When it subsided, she sat up. When she’d gotten pregnant the first time, she had been worried about the changes in her body. She had been scared that Jacob wouldn’t be interested in her when she looked and felt like she was the size of a whale.
Somehow, he seemed to like her even more that way. He was attracted to her pregnant form. He had explained to her that there was nothing hotter than his woman carrying his child, but she still didn’t understand it. She felt uncomfortable, bloated, and much too large most of the time.
Still, Jacob stood up from where he was kneeling on the floor, his mouth glistening with her sex, and his cock was rock hard. He was as turned on as she was, and she wanted to return the favor.
She kneeled in front of him, her knees a little wider to compensate for her belly, and she took Jacob’s dick into her mouth.
Kina would never get tired of sucking his cock. Jacob’s cock was the perfect size in her opinion, bigger than she could handle with her mouth without having to push him down her throat, which meant that when he was inside of her, it was pure ecstasy. And she loved sucking on him.
She cupped his balls with one hand, bobbing her head back and forth. She moved her tongue against his shaft, and he groaned. When she glanced up at him, Jacob’s eyes were closed, his head tipped back, and he was lost in the sensation the same way she had been a moment before.
The difference was that she wasn’t going to suck him off until he came. She would stop just before so that he could fuck her and come inside her.
Jacob reached for his wife’s head and pushed
his fingers into her hair. He closed his hand in a fist around her hair, but he didn’t have to guide her up and down his cock–she did that all by herself. Her mouth was soft and hot, just like her pussy, and he was starting to get impatient to be inside of her.
When he couldn’t take it anymore, he pulled back, slipping out of her mouth with a pop. He looked down at her where she kneeled in front of him, her pregnant belly below her engorged breasts, and everything about her was so fucking hot he couldn’t contain himself. He helped her up and kissed her.
“On top?” he asked.
Kina shook her head. He nodded. Missionary didn’t work with her belly, but there were other ways to get into her. She turned around, bending over, showing him her perfect ass. With both pregnancies, Kina hadn’t picked up weight the way some women did, despite eating for two. Her ass was firm, round, and exactly what it had been since the moment he’d met her.
Jacob rubbed his hands over her ass cheeks, admiring what was his before he found her entrance with his fingers, sliding them in and out of her a few times again, making her moan. He removed his fingers and guided his cock to her. She moaned and cried out when he pushed into her. She was tight and small. Fucking her felt different when she was pregnant.
He couldn’t nail her very hard, but he didn’t need to for the sex to be fantastic.
Jacob started pumping, sliding his cock in and out of her. He held onto her hips, helping her keep her balance as he fucked her. She braced herself with her hands on the bed, and Jacob paid attention to the sounds she was making, ensuring he didn’t go too hard and too deep.
Kina seemed happy, moaning and gasping. The orgasm built gradually, and finally, he released inside of her. Another orgasm rocked through her body–she cried out, and he could feel it pulsate through her.
“Are you okay?” he asked. He knew she contracted when she orgasmed. With her last pregnancy, she couldn’t orgasm in the last couple of weeks for fear of kickstarting the labor. They were still far away from that, though, but he wanted to be sure.
When they were done, Kina crawled onto the bed and laid down on her side. Jacob got onto the bed with her and curled his body around hers like a question mark.
“I can’t wait to meet him,” he said, reaching around her body and putting his hand on her belly.
“Me either,” Kina said.
Jacob lifted himself and kissed her on the mouth. He was glad he had her. If the two of them were together, they could face anything.
Epilogue
The party on Saturday was held at the Nova Eastern University, and it was for the sports alumni and all the players that were associated with the University and the training center. It was a huge event, arranged in one of the University’s great halls.
When the six friends arrived–Jacob and Kina, Brian and Sadie, and Hanson and Lacey–they were blown away.
“Did Lauren do all of this?” Kina asked Sadie.
Sadie nodded. “She was involved in almost all the planning. She’s so efficient. And I must say, the place looks fantastic.”
The room was decorated in the teal colors of the Florida Sharks, with white table cloths and tables of six. The meal for the evening was a buffet with assorted dishes to choose from, and modern music played in the background.
Everyone walked around, looking fancy. It was a semi-formal event, and everyone had made an effort.
Even Kina had managed to find something that worked with her pregnant belly, and she looked radiant on Jacob’s arm.
The friends all sat down.
“How are you doing with the baby?” Lacey asked Kina. They sat next to each other.
“I still have four months left, and I’m already wishing it was over,” Kina said, laughing. “It’s not so bad. Obviously, you know how it is. But I know it’s just going to get worse, and after Nate, I didn’t miss the swollen ankles and bloated feeling at all.”
Lacey nodded.
“Do you miss being pregnant?” Kina asked.
Lacey took a sip of her water. “To be honest? I don’t. I know women are supposed to get broody after they’ve had their first, but I just don’t feel it. Hanson wants another child, and we’ll try, but I don’t look forward to it at all.”
Kina put her hand on her friend’s arm.
“It will be fine. Do you remember how beautiful it was to know that there was life inside of you? Once it happens, you’ll feel it.”
Lacey shrugged. She didn’t know how to explain to Kina her fears about having another child, about having children in the first place. Kina was so comfortable with having children, with being a mother. And Sadie hadn’t walked that road yet. Lacey felt like she was completely alone with her fears.
Lacey turned to Sadie, who sat on her other side.
“How about you?” Lacey asked Sadie. “Are you and Brian planning on having kids?”
Sadie shrugged. “We haven’t really talked about it.”
After the fights about their careers, Sadie and Brian were just happy to be together. They hadn’t spoken about starting a family, not yet. Maybe they should have. When Sadie glanced at Brian, he smiled at her. She was glad that she had chosen to stay in Miami with her team instead of taking the job in Kentucky. Seeing the three men together, she realized how close they were to their friends and how important it was to have a support network like this.
Especially with how things were going to change for them soon.
“On the note of having babies,” Kina said, speaking up. She glanced at Jacob, smiling. “We have an announcement to make.”
Everyone fell quiet.
“We’re having another boy.”
Everyone congratulated Kina and Jacob.
“Having two boys is so much easier than having a girl,” Brian said.
“Why?” Sadie asked
He grinned. “Because with a boy, you only have to worry about one dick. With a girl, you have to worry about every dick in the world.”
Everyone laughed, but Sadie got a sinking feeling in her stomach. She suddenly felt like crying.
“Excuse me,” she said and got up, fleeing to the ladies’ room.
“What was that?” Lacey asked Kina. They both looked at Brian who shrugged, looking worried.
“We’ve got this,” Kina said, getting up. Lacey got up, too, and they followed Sadie to the bathroom.
When they found her, she was locked in a stall, crying.
“Are you okay, honey?” Kina asked. “What’s wrong? I’m supposed to be the emotional one, what with being pregnant.”
“That’s just the thing,” Sadie said. “I’m pregnant.”
Kina and Lacey looked at each other, surprised. Sadie opened the stall door and came out, her makeup a little smudged from crying. Lacey hugged her friend before helping her fix her eyeliner by running her thumb beneath her lower lashes.
“But that’s great news,” Kina said. “Why are you crying?”
Sadie took a deep breath and let it out with a shudder. “I only found out today. I took a pregnancy test when I was late. I’m terrified.”
“Oh, don’t be,” Lacey said. “You want kids with Brian, don’t you?”
Wanting to have children made it all so much easier, Lacey thought, but she didn’t say it out loud.
Sadie nodded, but she was still crying. “Brian and I never talked about it. We probably should have, but we didn’t. I don’t know if he’ll be happy about it. We’ve both been so focused on our careers, and I’m nervous it will mess that up for us.”
Kina shook her head. “I can tell you now, he will be thrilled for you. He’s an amazing man, and he’ll make a great father. And you’ll make a great mother. And you have all your family and friends rooting for you.”
Sadie nodded and wiped her tears. “It was just a shock, that’s all,” she said.
“I know what that’s like, trust me,” Lacey said.
The door to the ladies’ room opened and Lauren appeared.
“The men told me you guys were h
iding out in here.” She was smiling, but when she looked at Sadie, her face fell. “What’s wrong? Did you guys not fix it?”
“No, we did,” Sadie said. “I’m pregnant.”
Her tears started rolling again. Lauren tried to look sympathetic, but she couldn’t help it. She stepped closer to Sadie and hugged her.
“I would be lying if I told you that wasn’t great news,” she said. “I’m so happy for you!”
“You think it’s great news?” Sadie asked Lauren. Her best friend was always supportive, but she was always honest.”
Lauren smiled. “Of course. God, babies everywhere. It makes me feel like I need to get myself a man now, too!”
The women laughed. After a while, they returned to the table. When Sadie sat down, Brian took her hand, turning all his attention on her.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
Sadie nodded. “This might not be the best time to tell you,” she said.
“Tell me anyway,” he said. He wanted to know what was up with his wife. She was his world, and after their fight and her staying somewhere else, he was more aware of how blessed he was with her than ever.
She took a deep breath.
“I’m pregnant,” she said.
Brian blinked at her for a moment while the news sank in. Then, he grabbed her and kissed her.
“Did you hear that?” he asked the rest of the table. “Sadie is pregnant!”
The only two that didn’t know were Jacob and Hanson, but everyone cheered, and Sadie laughed, blushing. She really did have the best friends, and judging by the way Brian was talking animatedly, never letting go of her hand, she knew she had been a fool to doubt if he would be happy about the news. He was an amazing husband, and now, they were going to be a family.
And suddenly, she couldn’t wait.
Lacey watched her friends and their husbands. They were both radiant with their pregnancies, and both men were so taken with their women, it was beautiful. She remembered when Hanson had been like that with her. And the feeling that she’d never felt before, the baby fever that she’d believed she would never get, crept up on her.
