The Game Plan (Neighbor from Hell #5)(89)

He felt so good….

Over the past two months she’d been able to get more rest, her stress was practically gone, Danny was doing so much better and she’d finally been able to enjoy being pregnant. She ate whatever she wanted, slept whenever she wanted and did this whenever she wanted, which was admittedly a lot.

She’d quit her job at the library, which had actually helped quite a bit with her stress. Okay, so she hadn’t so much as quit the library as Danny had been called in to come get her, because she wouldn’t stop crying The realization that hated her job had been…..kind of depressing. When she’d earned her Master’s degree she’d never thought she’d have to use it to decide between French roast and Arabian roast coffee to sell at the coffee bar that she was forced to manage so that the library could generate some income for the City Council.

She’d hated it….just hated it…..

When Danny had come to get her a month ago, he’d sighed heavily and quit for her. She’d been so happy to finally be free of that place that she hadn’t argued with him. She’d allowed him to bring her home, tuck her into bed and curled up with him and spent the next two days sleeping. When she woke up at the three in the morning two days later she somehow found herself at her desk, writing that historical romance novel that she’d been toying with in her mind for years, but never really seriously considered.

Now…….

Now she couldn’t imagine doing anything else and thanks to Danny, she didn’t have to. He’d been amazingly supportive about this. He’d even bought her a MacBook so that she could work wherever she wanted. He’d turned the large old den that he’d been planning on turning into a game room into an office with a large comfortable sitting area and play area for the babies so that she could continue to work after their children were born. He was such a sweet man, a wonderful husband and she knew without a doubt that he was going to be an incredible father.

“More research for your book?” he asked, sitting up so that he could wrap his arms around her and hold her as she slowly rocked herself on him.

“Mmmhmmm,” she murmured against his lips. “You’re a very helpful man.”

“I do my best,” he said as he reached up between them and-

“That’s it!” Duncan announced, throwing their bedroom door wide open. “We’re moving!”

“Get the f*ck out!” Danny shouted, grabbing the comforter and yanked it up to cover her, because in her current state she was in no condition to jump off his lap and hide and she really, really, wanted to hide at this moment.

She opened her mouth to beg Danny to roll her off the bed when the smell hit her, which caused her to promptly shut her mouth. She grabbed hold of the comforter and yanked it completely over her head as she buried her face against Danny’s chest, right above the tattoo of Tinkerbelle, and hoped like hell that it was enough to block that odd rancid odor.

“Why are you covered in garbage?” Danny demanded as she struggled not to gag.

“That…….woman!” her normally loveable and considerate brother-in-law snarled, making her smile.

“Problem with the new neighbor?” Danny asked, sounding amused as she bit her lip, trying not to laugh. “Do you want me to go have a word with her mommy for you?” he asked in a mocking tone that had her chuckling.

“I hate you, you heartless bastard!” Duncan shouted dramatically as he slammed the door behind him.

She sighed happily as she pushed the comforter off her head. “I love our new neighbors.”

Not even close to being the end………..
