Knocked up, by her best friend's dad.(20)

“Ew, Kate, I don’t want to think of Jamie’s sperm. To tell the truth I don’t want to think of him at all. I’m so angry.” I shivered as I remembered his touch, and I revisited the urge to touch my shoulders.

“You going to tell me what really happened or you going to stick to the watered-down version you gave me?” Kate didn’t take her eyes from the road, but I watched as her lips thinned and I heard the annoyance in her voice. She knew me so well, and I wasn’t surprised she didn’t buy what I’d told her.

“I don’t want to talk about it. Trust me, if you know you’ll be pissed too. Adam is…” I shook my head. I’d never seen Adam as angry as he had been when he’d come upon Jamie and me. I thought he was going to beat up his own son. He hadn’t spoken to Jamie, and I knew I had to get him to, but I was scared. I’d never been scared of Jamie in my life, I never thought in my wildest of dreams, that I would have a reason to be. Adam had to talk to his son though, but I couldn’t even think about Jamie without getting sick. “Let’s just say he didn’t something I didn’t want.”

She shot me a look before focusing back on the road, but she must have gotten something from me since she nodded. “Your face says it all. Let’s talk about something else. So, you’re with Adam, and having triplets?” Kate blurted it out as though we were talking about the raining coming in on Thursday; like it was no big deal.

I groaned. This wasn’t an easy subject either. “I think. Yes.” I should just tell Kate, she always listened and gave advice even if I didn’t want it. “Look, I’m worried he’s with me because I’m pregnant, and not because he wants this to work with me.”

The car was quiet for a moment before laughter echoed through it. “Oh, God. You’re hilarious. Anyone with eyes can see that man has had a hard on for you for years. He undresses you with his eyes anytime you walk into a room. I’m surprised his family hasn’t noticed and said something to you.”

I looked at Kate to see if she was serious, or just trying to convince me. She was laughing, but her face spoke that she was telling the truth. “You never said anything.”

“You wouldn’t have believed me. It was Lucy who pointed it out me and then it became obvious. It's why I helped you. I told you to wear his shirts tied at the waist and sexy panties. I was the one who pushed you to find him at the house party.”

“Ha, look how that turned out. Thanks.” I rolled my eyes heaven wards because she had been the one to push me into making a move and it had gotten me pregnant with triplets.

“You’re welcome. Trust me when I say this is right for you. I’d bet my closest including my shoes that you and Adam will work out, be deliriously happy, and have a football team worth of babies.” The smile that spread over Kate’s face was contagious, I wanted what she said to happen. A football team of little Adam’s would be my idea of heaven.





ADAM


DAMN, I WAS ONE LUCKY man. I watched as my beautiful woman came into the lounge room her face shining with happiness, and her arms loaded full of bags. I got up out of the chair to take the bags she shouldn’t be carrying. She radiated love as she beamed at me, when I came towards her. Her stunning green eyes shined brighter the closer I got her.

“Angel, you should have yelled out and I would have carried these. You shouldn’t be lifting anything.”

“They’re not heavy just clothes and oh…” She jumped up and down with excitement and I chuckled as she dropped the bags and then bent and rummaged through one pulling out a tiny onesie. “Look at this. Isn’t it just the cutest?” Her cheeks turned red. “It’s true too.”

I looked at the onesie, it was green and white striped but in black writing it said, ‘My mommy loved my daddy so much that they made three babies with one try.’ I read it twice just to make sure I wasn’t seeing what I wanted to, and not what was really there. My heart soared and I gathered Hannah into my embrace. “You love me?” She nodded, but I wanted the words. “Angel, I want to hear the words.”

“I…I…” she gulped. I tilted her hand and brushed my thumb over her lips.

“Do you need me to say it first?” Her yes went wide, and I’ve never seen happiness shine so brightly from someone. In that moment, I realized I would do anything to see this face before me for the rest of my life. Caressing her cheek, I gazed into her loving eyes and gave her what she needed. “Hannah Wright, I love you.”

She threw her arms around me, and I stumbled back a step. “I love you, too. I have loved you for so long. You love me,” she sobbed out the last part.

Capturing her lips to my own, I showed her just how I felt.

“What the fuck is going on? Dad why are you kissing Hannah?” Easing away from Hannah, I buried her face against my shoulder and turned my gaze to my son. The look of utter anger and betrayal on Jamie’s face had guilt washing over me.

“Son, I can—”

“Don’t.” His hand slashed through the air. “You know, I came around to apologize and make peace so tomorrow wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.” His eyes shot back and forth between me and Hannah. You couldn’t miss that we weren’t a new couple, not with the way she clung to me, and my hand resting protectively over her stomach. “She’s preg…please, tell me it not yours?”
