“Wouldn’t miss it. You said they’re taking blood today, too, right?”
“Ugh! Don’t remind me,” I groaned. “I’m going to go get ready. I want to leave around ten thirty. That okay with you?”
“Yup. Won’t take me long to get ready. Already showered after my workout. Just gotta get dressed.”
That man loved getting up early and working out. Me, I was more of a sleep until noon then eat twenty seven donuts kinda girl.
Shoving off the counter, I felt a sharp pain in my back. Reaching behind me, I put pressure on my spine, wincing.
“You ok?” Gage asked, standing from his stool and taking a few steps towards me.
And he just kept getting better. Not sure why I wasn’t expecting it but when he stood his shorts feel low on his hips. He had those indent things on his lower stomach. Those pesky little things that make a girl who was going to college to be a doctor sound like she should be flipping hamburgers at McDonalds.
Squeezing my eyes shut I stammered, “I’m fine. Just back pain. I’ve been having it a lot lately but I read back pain is normal in pregnancy. Nothing to worry about. Usually if I take a hot shower it helps.”
Gage’s face relaxed and his blue eyes lost their worry as he took a step back. “Ok. Go take a shower and hopefully it will help. I’ll make some pancakes and sausage while you’re getting ready.”
Starting to walk past Gage I stopped and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing the side of his mouth. “Thank you, Gage. I don’t know if I could do this alone.”
Hugging me tight to him he whispered, “I’m in this, Cobie. You’re not alone.”
Letting go of him I slowly made my way back to my room to shower and get ready. Today we find out if we get a boy or a girl and this was also the first ultrasound Gage was going to be at.
Stopping in front of the full length mirror in my bathroom I examined myself. My hips were slightly wider and my boobs were a little bigger. I raised my tee shirt up and rubbed my hand across my belly, looking at it in the mirror. I already had a few tiny stretch marks. My body had already changed so much in just a few short months. I wondered if a guy would ever look at my body again and think it was beautiful.
Turning on the shower I made the water as hot as I could stand it without scalding myself. Stripping my clothes I stepped into the stone covered shower letting the hot water run over me. Lifting my arms to wet my hair I felt another sharp pain in my lower back. Sucking in my breath I shifted so the water was hitting directly on my back. Feeling my tears welling in my eyes I rubbed hard circles on my back, hoping to relieve the pain.
Once my pain was manageable I reached for my shampoo and squirted it into my hands, massaging it through my hair. Finally starting to relax I let out a small little moan.
“Keep that up and I won’t stay on this side of the glass.”
Jumping in surprise I used my hands and arms attempting to cover myself.
“What the hell are you doing?” I asked Gage.
“I yelled to let you know breakfast was ready. There was no response. Just makin’ sure you weren’t dead or some shit.”
Backing into the corner I watched Gage as he watched me, looking me up and down. Biting on my lower lip I said, “As you can see I’m fine. Now, if you don’t mind I would like to finish my shower.
Instead of leaving, Gage slowly opened the shower door. What the hell was he doing?
Raising on my tippy toes attempting to push myself into the corner more I screeched, “What? Get out!”
Gage let the water hit his bare chest and back. It ran down soaking his black gym shorts. Holding his hand out to my stomach he hushed me. “Shh. Just relax. I’ve never seen your stomach. And seeing it now, knowing that’s my baby in there, it’s amazing. You look beautiful, Cobie.”
Feeling that buzz between us growing I tried to look away but that strong, hard body in front of me kept my eyes glued to him.
Rubbing his hand over my stomach he asked, “Has it moved? I mean like can you feel it move?” Gage dropped to his knees, water covering him.
“Yes. But usually it’s at night. I think the baby sleeps a lot during the day. Sometimes when I eat I can feel it moving around.”
Placing a soft kiss on my stomach he whispered something to quiet for me to hear. Slowly he started to raise back up placing a few more feather light kisses on my stomach on his way.
Close. We were too close. My body was responding to his being right in front of mine. This wasn’t ok but I was stuck.
Gage ran his nose up mine as he straightened letting his forehead rest on mine. Shutting my eyes I attempted to think of anything else but a mostly naked and wet Gage. Anything at all. I thought of homeless kitties. Homeless kitties made me think of them not having a home when it rains. Rain makes me think of water. Water makes me think of showers. Showers makes me think of a very wet Gage. And Gage wasn’t the only wet thing in this shower anymore.
“Breathe Cobie. Open your eyes. I won’t do anything, swear.” Gage whispered in my ear.
Cracking my eyes open just enough to see his face I said, “It’s not you I’m worried about.”
“Cobie, look at me.”
Biting on my lower lip I brought my eyes up to meet his.
“What are you worried about?” Gage asked.
“Me.”
“What about you?”
“I don’t want to end up being another dumb girl you can add to your bedpost. Obviously our bodies want each other but I need more than that.”
Lifting his hand he placed it on my cheek and ran his thumb across my lips. “You were never just another notch on my bedpost. Don’t ever think that. I do want you, I’m not going to lie. You look so beautiful right now. Your body changing because our baby is growing inside of you, I have never seen a more beautiful woman. Cobie, you are more than just some dumb girl. You are the mother of my child and I love you for that.”
Tilting my head in shock I asked, “You love me?”
Gage’s eyes sparkled as he smiled. “Yeah. I do.”
“Kiss me.”
Gage brought his other hand up and cupped my face. “My pleasure.”
Covering my mouth with his I felt the hot water beating down on us as he took full control of the kiss. His lips smoothly meshing with mine as his tongue explored my mouth. He was slow, gentle.
Dropping my arms from covering myself I grabbed onto his broad shoulders as a whimper left my mouth.
Gage went to pull away but I stopped him. Using my mouth to keep him close to me. “More. I want more.”
Gage didn’t say a word. He nodded.
Letting my hands slip down his wet body I pushed his gym shorts down. Commando. He was going freaking commando.
Gage used his hips to pin me against the wall and stuck one of his legs between mine, forcing me to open them. He slipped one hand between us and into the place I needed it most. He let out a deep throaty groan with his finger slipped into my wetness.
“Damn. You really want it, don’t you?” Gage asked between kisses.
“Maybe just a little,” I giggled trying to hide my embarrassment.
Lifting me a little he positioned himself and gently slid into me. It had been months since I felt this. The welcomed stretching and burning felt good.
Letting my head fall back and a moan escape my lips I begged, “Please. I need this.”
“Don’t worry sweetheart. I will give you what you need. The doctor ordered an extra large dose of PENIS-cylin and I came to deliver.”
Gage and I both laughed at his cheesy joke. Mid laugh he pulled out and slammed back into me. Shut me up. But he didn’t stop. He reached above us with one arm, placing his hand on the stone wall, using it as an anchor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his strong jaw. With his other hand he found my swollen, throbbing clit and rubbed quick circles. Pushing me closer and closer to the edge.
