Kissing me again Ash said, “Be nice to your sister.”
Wrapping Ash in my arms, I ran my hand up and down her back and for the first time in a really long time I was happy with my life. All of the reasons had Ashlynn Miller in them.
Lifting her head from my chest, she asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Looking down at her I said, “How happy I am right now and it’s all because of you.”
Crawling up to my face she kissed me and said, “I love you, Jason Williams.”
Cupping her face in my hand I said, “I’m in love with you, Ashlynn Miller,” and pulled her on top of me.
After making love again she lifted herself up off me and lay on her back. I don’t even think she realized what she was doing but she was smiling as she slowly rubbed her stomach. For a couple of minutes I just watched her and I couldn’t wait to see our child grow inside of her. I also pictured a little girl who looked just like Ashlynn but caused a lot of trouble like me or a little boy who looked just like me but had a heart of gold like his mother.
Getting on my elbows and smiling down at Ash I said, “You’re going to be a mom.”
She let out a laugh and said, “I know. I’m going to be a mom and you’re going to be a dad.”
Letting out a breath I smiled because it just hit me. Kissing Ash on the lips I looked into her eyes and said, “I’m going to be a dad.”
Sucking in air she said, “Now we just have to tell mine.”
Chapter 14
Ashlynn
I couldn’t believe how quickly Jason came around to me being pregnant with our child and it was all thanks to Jade. I don’t know what I would have done if she wasn’t there to help clean up the mess. Jade had really surprised me throughout the whole process and I don’t think I could ever thank her enough for bringing my Jason back to me. Jason wanted to tell everyone the second I was pregnant but I wanted to wait until the second trimester. I’d heard it was bad luck to tell earlier and I was scared something would happen to our little one.
Today was our first visit to the doctor’s for my ultrasound. I couldn’t wait to see my little peanut growing inside of my stomach. I knew I had to tell my dad soon but I wanted to have the ultrasound picture first. Jason surprised me big time after he came back around because he won’t let me do anything. It’s already driving me crazy and I’m not even showing yet but I love him so much.
We’ve been alternating between staying at each other’s apartments but I know we’re going to have to find a new place for us to live before our little peanut is born. I ended up staying at Jason’s last night so he drove me to the library and said he would be back at two for our doctor’s appointment. The second I clocked out of work I opened my phone to text him. As I exited the front doors of the library I saw Jason leaning against the passenger door waiting for me.
Walking up to him I kissed him on the cheek and he opened my door. Bowing he said, “Your chariot awaits.”
I just laughed at him and said, “Oh my god, you’re ridiculous.”
Leaning in to kiss me, he put a hand to my stomach and said, “I just don’t want anything to happen to you or our little man.”
Kissing him on the lips I said, “You don’t know if our baby is a boy and we won’t even find out until the second trimester.”
Leaning into me he winked and said, “Oh, I know it’s a boy Ash.” Shaking my head I got into the car and buckled up as he closed the door.
The whole drive to the doctor’s office Jason was acting so giddy. His leg was bouncing up and down and he was talking a mile a minute. He couldn’t wait to see our baby on the sonogram machine and neither could I, but I was a little nervous about telling my dad that he was going to be a granddad. I was also scared for Jason’s life because I didn’t know how daddy would react to it.
After we walked into the doctor’s office and filled out all of the necessary forms we were taken into a private room where we waited for the doctor. I sat down on the table and just watched Jason jumping up and down all over the place full of adrenaline and excitement. I started laughing and then all of a sudden I got a little heart burn. I must have made a noise because Jason bolted over to me with a worried look on his face.
Placing a hand to my stomach he asked, “Are you okay, Ash?”
I kissed him on the cheek. “Relax Jason, everything is fine. I just have a little heartburn; nothing to worry about.”
He shook his head like he understood but he was still biting his lower lip and I knew he was worried. I was just about to tell him to calm down when the doctor walked in and Jason started rambling to her about my heartburn. The doctor looked at me and just smiled.
Looking back at Jason she put a hand on his shoulder and said, “It’s okay for her to have heartburn, dad.”
The second he heard the word dad his eyes twinkled and a big smile appeared on his face. Sitting down in a chair Jason held my hand and rubbed lazy circles while the doctor talked to us about what we were to expect with the first trimester.
Upon prescribing me some prenatal vitamins the doctor said, “Alright, now lie back down on the table and I’ll show you your little bundle of joy on the machine.”
Lifting my shirt the doctor applied some gel and waited for the sonogram machine to power up. Placing the wand on my stomach she moved it around for a bit and then we heard a heartbeat. Pointing to a little dot on the screen the doctor said, “That right there is your baby.”
Instantly tears formed in my eyes and I looked over to Jason who was staring at me with tears in his eyes. Standing up from his seat he leaned into me and kissed me on the lips. “I love you so much, Ash.”
Smiling up at him I said, “I love you too, Jason.”
Once he sat back down the doctor asked, “Do you guys want pictures?”
Before I could even respond Jason said, “Hell yeah, we want pictures!”
The doctor just laughed and said, “Alright dad.”
After flicking the lights back on the doctor wiped the gel from my stomach and said she would be back with the pictures. As soon as the door closed behind her Jason had me in his arms and he was kissing me. I entangled my arms around his waist and let my legs hang loose on either side of him as I bit down on his lip.
Gasping for air Jason pulled back from me and said, “Behave, Ash.” Kissing him once more on the lips he sat down and we waited for our pictures to be developed. Once we got our pictures we left the doctor’s office. Getting back in the car we started our four hour drive to my home. Daddy knew we were coming because I wanted to introduce him and Jason but I was a nervous wreck about telling him that we were going to have a baby.
About an hour into our drive Jason turned off the music and held onto my hand. Without taking his eyes off the road he said, “It will be alright, Ashlynn.”
Looking out the window, I took a deep breath and said, “I hope so.”
Three hours later we were pulling into my driveway. I couldn’t believe how long it had been since I was home. It seemed like forever ago and as nervous as I was to tell my dad our good news I was ecstatic to see my dad because I really missed him.
I didn’t even make it out of the car before my dad was opening the front door and running towards me screaming, “ASH!”
Picking me up and spinning me around I could see the hesitation in Jason’s face but once I looked at him and mouthed, “I’m okay,” he settled down.
Putting me back on my feet dad kissed me on the forehead and said, “I’ve missed you so much.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. “I’ve missed you so much.”
