Chapter 137: Baby on the Way!

I felt the mattress shift, waking me up, and then his arm wrapped
around my waist, pulling me against his firm body.
He was back.
His face buried into my neck as I felt something hard press against
my ass.
“You’re back,” I murmured, opening my eyes with a lazy smile and
facing the darkness of my room.
“Sorry, the flight was a bit delayed,” he whispered, kissing my
shoulder.
His skin was cold, as if he had just taken a shower, and I could smell
his delicious scent mixed with the smell of soap.
“What time is it?”

“Late, almost two in the morning.”
“You showered? I didn’t hear you come in.”
“I just got here, but I thought you deserved better than the smell of a
seven–hour flight.”
“I wouldn’t have minded.”
“Good, then I won’t need to be so patient next time.”
“It was only two days, but it feels like you missed me a lot,” I teased,
grinding against his erection.
“Can you feel how much?”
He pressed harder, rubbing slowly against my ass, making my whole
body pulse with desire.
“How was the trip?” I asked, almost losing my mind.
“Torture. But I’m here, and that’s all that matters,” he said, sliding his right hand under my nightgown, caressing my belly. “I hope you’re not too tired, because there’s no way I’m letting you sleep
now.”

“I was thinking the same thing,” I whispered, turning my face to kiss
him.
I explored his lips, sliding my tongue over them before finding his
warm tongue and losing myself in it. Even though it had only been
two days, I was dying to see him.
Reaching back, I grabbed his neck, deepening the kiss. I felt his hand
slide beneath the fabric of my panties and between my folds, finding
my clit.
I moaned into his lips as he started moving his fingers, sending
pleasure coursing through my entire body.
I tugged at his hair a little as the heat took over me — a delicious heat
that grew with every brush of our skin. My body was already begging
for him.
“Don’t make me wait any longer,” I whispered desperately.
Hooking his fingers into the waistband of my panties, he pulled them
down.
Suddenly, I heard a buzzing sound – probably from one of our
phones. I tried to ignore it, but the noise only got louder.

I turned my head toward the nightstand, where my phone was
vibrating with the screen lit up.
“No,” he protested.
“Anna,” I said, remembering she could go into labor at any moment.
We’d already had a few false alarms in the past few days.
Ethan sighed in frustration as I got up, reaching for the phone. But as
soon as I grabbed it, the call ended.
The missed call notification was from Will, and below it, there were
several new text messages from him.
I unlocked the screen and opened the messages hurriedly, almost
certain of what it was about. It was written in all caps:
“BABY ON THE WAY!!!!! HEADING TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!”
Oh my God! My suspicions were right. I immediately jumped out of
bed.
“Anna’s having the baby!” I shouted, running to turn on the light.
“Now?” he asked, still sitting on the bed.

“Yes! We have to go!” I urged him, running to my closet.
“Unbelievable, we’re not even the parents and this kid’s already
ruined our sex,” he grumbled, making me laugh as I grabbed the first
clothes I could find.

Little William was the cutest and most beautiful thing I had ever
seen. His hair was so dark it was impressive for a newborn, and his
skin was as fair as Anna’s.
She was so happy that you would never guess she had been screaming
in pain just minutes before, but now her eyes were red from crying,
and mine must have looked the same.
I couldn’t tell what had moved me more
—
the way she looked at the
baby, or the way Will looked at both of them.
I couldn’t hold back my tears. After all, she was my best friend, and
they truly felt like family to me.
We were all in the room, gathered around the bed where Anna was lying with William in her arms and Will by her side.
Zara and Jack had arrived first, and we ran into Bennett and Zoe at

the entrance. We all rushed over as soon as Will sent the alert, and
everyone was emotional for the two of them.
Since we walked into the room, I kept watching Ethan’s reaction,
feeling a little nervous and curious. But seeing the way his eyes lit up
when he saw little William almost made me melt.
I knew he loved kids – in his own way
–
and I couldn’t help
imagining what it would be like if it were us in their place.
Unfortunately, there was a time limit on our visit. As much as I
wanted to stay at the hospital with Anna and the baby, she needed to
rest, and I knew Will wasn’t willing to leave her side.
So, after giving one last look at the baby and saying goodbye to her
and Will, I had to leave, just like the others. But I promised I’d visit as
soon as she was discharged.

Ethan drove me back to my apartment. Despite his insistence that we
move in together after the engagement, I convinced him to keep
