Game Changer

by Amelia Whitmore

  I spread my legs and wrapped them around him, anxious to feel all of him on me. When he ground himself against me, I couldn’t hold back my moan of pleasure.

  He broke out in kissing me once more, only to pull my pants off and then his own. His hands caressed my thighs, before he positioned each leg on his shoulders.

  I could feel the warmth of his breath on me and it drove me wild. I wanted to feel him inside of me but he was going so excruciatingly slow.

  “You feel so damn good,” he said as he slid a finger inside of me.

  I sucked in a sharp breath. The intrusion shocking, yet still welcome.

  My body thrummed around him, with a need so strong it was impossible to lay still.

  “I need you inside of me baby,” I gasped. “Please Aiden,” I begged as I shifted restlessly. The way he moved his finger in and out of me was driving me insane.

  For a moment, we just stared into each other’s eyes. I’d never felt more vulnerable in my entire life. It was as if he knew my every secret and weakness.

  Aiden crawled up my body, laying on top of me, all muscled, and gorgeous.

  I reached up, unable to stop myself from touching him, before eventually wrapping my arms around his shoulders. I craved the feel of his warmth.

  His mouth found mine as the throbbing head of his erection pressed into me. I shifted, lifting my hips toward him, urging him in deeper. But Aiden wouldn’t be rushed. Today he was going slow, too slow.

  “I need you baby,” I purred.

  With those words he surged into me. He didn’t hesitate, but slid into me fully, filling me completely.

  “Christ you feel good,” he growled.

  I gripped his shoulders, biting into his skin. He felt so incredible inside of me. I never wanted this moment to end.

  We rocked together, creating a rhythm that was all our own. In that moment nothing mattered. The world disappeared around us.

  It was just me and Aiden and the friction of our bodies rubbing against each other, his erection sliding in and out of me. It was heaven. It was perfection.

  When he slid his large hand between our bodies and pressed his thumb against my throbbing clit, I was done for. It was exactly what I needed to go over the edge. The pressure intensified and I cried out in ecstasy.

  Pleasure exploded through me, sending wave after wave rippling over my body.

  He put his hands under me and they gripped my ass as he surged into me over and over again. His thrusts were short and out of control. Finally, he thrust one last time, harder than before and with a groan that made me shiver all over again, he released inside of me.

  I felt like I was one with the universe at that moment. Like everything in the world was exactly as it should be.

  The next three days passed so slowly I could barely breathe. Aiden and I found ourselves sitting in the middle of a crowded waiting room filled with huge, pregnant women and screaming children. We gripped each other's hands tightly. When my name was called, we both flinched and stood up. I led the way over to the nurse.

  She brought us back to a small room and had us sit down while she sat in a swirly chair.

  “You’re here for a pregnancy test?” She asked for clarification.

  I could hardly nod, but I did. It seemed strange, but as the days wore on, I became excited and the thought that I might not actually be pregnant scared me more than the other.

  She asked me a series of questions then said, “Alright, I’m going to have you urinate in this cup and then leave it in the window in the bathroom.”

  She dug around in a drawer and pulled out a small paper.

  “The doctor will be with you as soon as the tests come back.”

  Before she left, she directed me to the bathroom. I always hated peeing in cups, I’m awful at it.

  When I was done, I went back into the room and found Aiden snoring lightly. I smiled and sat beside him again and took his hand, making him jerk awake.

  “Sorry about that,” he sighed, running a hand over his face.

  “Its okay,” I said, looking at the boring painting on the wall.

  “So, what happens now?” He asked.

  “We wait for the doctor to give us the results.”

  “No, I mean, what do we do if you’re pregnant, or if you’re not pregnant for that matter.”

  “I’m not trying to avoid the conversation, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I want to know if I’m pregnant at all before I decide what to do about a baby that may or may not even exist.”

  “I’m nervous,” he whispered.

  I smiled a little, relieved that I wasn’t the only one going through these emotions right now. At home for the past couple days, we’d been excited about the possibility of our future, but now it all seemed so real and I was questioning our past sanity.

  Not long after there was a knock at the door, then the door opened and my doctor entered.

  “Good afternoon Miss Emily. I see you brought your boy… Aiden Swift?” He paused for a moment, surprised.

  “Hello sir, I’m Aiden, as you apparently already know.” At least he was calm enough to joke around.

  “Yes, I know very well who you are. Congrats on the win last weekend. I’m Dr. George.” They shook hands.

  I took a shaky breath when he sat down, knowing this was the moment I got my answer.

  “So, you think you may be pregnant?” He asked, looking in his charts.

  I hated when doctors did that. Yes, I’m freaking here for a pregnancy test, I can see it clear as day on that chart and I’m reading upside down.

  “Yes sir.” I answered politely, instead of my clever remark.

  “Well, I suppose congratulations are in order, Miss Smith, your test came back positive.” He announced, probably expecting a different reaction than he got because both Aiden and I froze, the reality of it crashing down on us.

  I was the first to speak, “What do we do now?

  “Well, based on your last period, you’re somewhere around five to six weeks along, correct?” He asked, looking up from his stack of papers.

  I nodded, “Yes, nearly six weeks exactly if it happened when I think it did.” I answered, blushing softly.

  “Alright then, you should speak with Kathleen on your way out and schedule an ultrasound for about six to eight weeks from now.”

  I nodded and turned to Aiden, who had a blank look on his face. Dr. George seemed to sense that we needed some time so he stood up. “I’ll let you two have a moment to discuss this. It was nice meeting you Aiden and Miss Emily, it was good seeing you again.”

  I rested my elbows on my knees and put my head in my hands. “I have a baby inside of me.”

  Aiden’s hand began rubbing my back as I took deep breaths to calm my racing heart.

  “Baby, we’re having a baby.” He sounded amazed, like he couldn’t quite believe it until now.

  I turned to him, expecting to see a shocked face, instead I was met with a smile.

  “You’re happy?” I asked, sounding surprised.

  He nodded and kissed me, “Yeah, I am. Not only am I going to be a daddy, but I got my girlfriend pregnant on the first try… well, first ‘not on purpose, forgot a condom’ situation.” He said thoughtfully. I had to laugh, if not to release the tension in my body, then because he was just too adorable.

  “So, we’re keeping Sobri?” I asked, caressing my stomach through my shirt.

  Aiden gave me a weird look, “Sobri?”

  I nodded, “Yeah, at the mall the other day, the day I realized I was late, I made little bean a ducky at build-a-bear, and wrote a note on the heart using the name. Kira decided to make one for my first born and wrote ‘Sobri’ on it. Sobrino or Sobrina is niece and nephew in Spanish, so she shortened it to be a unisex nickname. It’s funny now because it turns out that Sobri is getting it much sooner than expected.”

  “Girls are weird,” Aiden chuckled.

  “You love girls, especially me,” I teased.

  “
That I do,” he said with a kiss to my nose.

  When we got home, both Kira and Ethan were waiting by the door anxiously. I nodded once and was immediately attacked by both of them.

  “Don’t hurt them!” Aiden sounded concerned, which was cute since I was only a month and a half along. If this is how he was acting now, eight months from now was going to be comical.

  “Honey, I’m not as fragile as you seem to think I am.”

  Kira got down on the floor and started talking to my tummy, telling both fetuses how much fun they’d have together. It was cute, really. After a minute, she stood back up and grinned, “You know, this really explains why your boobs were so sore when we were trying on bras the other day.”

  I snorted a laugh, “No that has nothing to do with it,” I joked but I didn’t dare go into further detail about what Aiden and I had done the night before. My brother was standing only a few feet away after all.

  “I say we go out and celebrate,” Ethan said, putting one hand in the air like we were going to vote on it. Aiden raised his hand and I rolled my eyes.

  “I think they’re trying to get us out of the house as much as possible before we’re too hideous to walk the streets.” I whispered conspiringly to Kira, who played along.

  “Yeah, I mean, we’re cute now, but who will love us when we can’t even see our feet anymore?” Aiden and Ethan apparently couldn’t tell we were joking because both looked frightened.

  “I’ll love you,” they both practically shouted at the same time.

  “You say that now,” I said teasingly, and we both started mock pouting. It didn’t last long because we were soon laughing too hard for them to take us seriously anymore.

  “That was mean. See if I love you when you’re fat now,” Ethan scowled.

  My jaw dropped and I practically yelled “Rewind!”

  Kira’s hands were already positioned on her hip for yelling and I stepped between them.

  “What you meant to say was that ‘see if you’ll love her when she’s larger, but still so incredibly beautiful that you’ll be happy she’s your wife, which she will be when she’s larger.” I said slowly, staring him down.

  He nodded solemnly, realizing his mistake. He nudged me aside and pulled Kira into his arms, “Sorry baby, you know I think you’re beautiful no matter what, and that I will always love you.”

  He kissed her softly and she obviously forgave him.

  Chapter 18

  I turned to Aiden, who was watching in amusement. “So dear, where are we going for dinner?” I was trying to get our focus back to what started it all.

  “Somewhere.”

  “That’s informative,” I scoffed.

  “It’s a secret…” He said elusively, which only served to annoy me.

  “Come on, just tell me,” I sighed, “How am I supposed to pick out what to wear if you don’t tell me where we’re going? What if I put on a pair of boots and you take me on a boat. That happened once, remember?”

  “How about I go pick out your outfit with you?” He offered, a glint in his eye.

  “Aiden Swift, I know that look.” I warned.

  He just smiled innocently and whispered something to Ethan before he followed me upstairs.

  As soon as the door closed behind us, his arms were around my waist and he was pulling my lips to his. I kissed his mouth lightly before putting my hand on his chest.

  “As much as I really want to do what we are headed for, I was too nervous to eat before we left and I’m incredibly hungry now.” I said, feeling a tiny bit guilty.

  He sighed, accepting defeat and sat on the bed with his back against the headboard.

  “Show me some outfits,” He commanded playfully, pointing to my closet.

  I walked over and looked through a few things blindly, grabbing the first thing I could, it was a dark blue dress that went to my knees.

  “No, too fancy.”

  I grabbed a silky top and he immediately said no.

  “Well then, what am I supposed to wear?” I asked, putting my hands on my hips.

  With a smirk, he came up behind me and started shifting things around in the closet, looking for something specific.

  “Aiden Swift, if you knew what you wanted me to wear, why didn’t you save me the trouble and just pick it out from the start?”

  He shrugged. “I liked watching your backside when you were looking for stuff.”

  I blushed and smiled, finding his honesty cute. Soon enough, his arms were full of clothes and I raised my eyebrows.

  “All of that?” I asked, not sure what we were going to do that required a long sleeved shirt, a hoodie, jeans, boots, mittens, hat, and my jacket.

  “It may be November, but you get that we are in Houston, Texas, right? I mean, it doesn’t get below sixty in the dead of winter. I really need all of this?”

  “Yep,” he said, then started looking around my room then turned towards me with a scarf in his hand.

  “Aiden, what are we doing?” I asked, whining slightly. I hated surprises.

  He smiled his idiotically charming smile and rested his hands on my hips, “Baby, I promise you’ll enjoy it.” He kissed my nose. “Now, get changed.”

  “Fine.” I sighed. As I was changing, my thoughts drifted all over the place until they landed on yesterday at the mall. “Oh, come look.” I said, going over to the chair in the corner and picking up the bag from build-a-bear. I held up the monkey Kira had picked out for Sobri the other day.

  A huge smile took over his face as he gently held it in his huge hands.

  “This is cute.”

  I couldn’t help but to smile with him. I stood beside him and his arm wrapped around my shoulders as we looked at the stuffed animal, thinking about all of the promises that simple inanimate object held. Our child would play with that in less than nine months. The thought was astounding.

  We both looked at each other and met for a soft kiss,

  “We’ll make this work Emily, I know we will.” Aiden said confidently. His caring voice made me feel like melting.

  I rubbed his cheek and nodded, “I know.”

  We finally got downstairs and I realized that Ethan and Kira must have gone to their house to get changed, “Are we just meeting them there?”

  “Yep, now let’s get going,” he said, holding his hand out for me.

  “You are so pushy sometimes.”

  “You bet I am,” he said as he playfully patted my ass and walked me out the front door.

  Like a gentleman, he opened the truck door for me and helped me in. He was suddenly holding me like I was some priceless antique that would break upon impact, it was adorable.

  He drove us to the mall of all places.

  “You had me dress up like this to go to the mall? Seriously?”

  He chuckled. “We aren’t going to the mall.”

  He drove past and eventually turned into the sports bar just off of Wortham Drive. I’ve drove by the place probably a million times in my life, but I hadn’t ever been inside before.

  We got inside and found a booth, we both sat on the same side and ordered drinks and an appetizer as we waited for Ethan and Kira. They arrived shortly thereafter, Kira looked so adorable in her skinny jeans, sweater and very fashion forward jacket. She always had an amazing sense of style.

  “Hey Chica!” She greeted, sliding in so she was across from me. The guys ended up on the outside.

  For the next few hours, we sat, drank, and laughed. Kira and I had water and the guys had sodas -- although I’m sure they really wanted beers. We all had burgers that made us groan with delight at the first bite.

  Afterwards, Aiden drove us while Ethan took Kira to wherever we were going. We came up to an area that was lit up like a Christmas tree. The lights were shining so brightly since it was already seven and it got darker faster in the winter. We were at a skating rink.

  “Aiden!” I groaned, wrinkling my nose.

  “What?” He asked, giving me an amused look.
/>   “I can’t skate!” I exclaimed, pointing to the rink.

  “You can’t skate?” He asked, sounding shocked.

  I shook my head and bit my lip. He got out and walked around to help me out, “Then it looks like you’re going to learn tonight.” He said, taking me into his arms and setting me lightly on the ground, only he didn’t let me go.

  I rested my hands on his chest and tried to make my eyes as round as possible, attempting innocence, “What if I’m not any good at it?” I asked.

  “I’ll be so embarrassed. So will you, I mean, Aiden Swift having a girlfriend who can’t skate,” I teased.

  He shut me up with a kiss.

  “First off, I don’t care what other people think. Second, you won’t suck with me as your teacher.”

  He was so confident, unfortunately he’d never had me as his student.

  “Fine, but either way this goes, you owe me some hot cocoa afterwards,” I said sternly. He just grinned cheekily and nodded, tugging me to the ice.

  We stopped at a little kiosk to get our skates and I couldn’t help the disgusted look on my face. I really hated skating. “Come on Emm, smile for me. You look like you just drank curdled milk.”

  I instantly covered my mouth with my hand, fighting back an intense wave of nausea. “In the future, never say that again.” I warned once I could open my eyes again.

  “Sorry.” He laughed. I narrowed my eyes and smacked him lightly on the arm. Under his thick sweatshirt he probably didn’t even feel it. I saw Ethan and Kira already on the ice, they both used to skate all the time, and now I wish I had joined them once in a while.

  People started coming up to Aiden and asking for his autograph, which gave me the chance to try figuring out the stupid skates. How was I supposed to tie them? Were they like boots?

  “Here baby, let me.” Aiden said, crouching down in front of me to tie them.

  I had to smile when I imagined our child sitting in my spot as he tied their laces. I couldn’t stop myself from cupping his face in my hands and leaning in for a kiss. He kissed me back without hesitation, and his hands never stopped tightening my laces. Talk about multitasking.

  “What was that for?”
