knows boundaries, but she’ll warm up to you. I have a feeling when she does, you will love her.”
“If you say so.”
“I do. Don’t write her off just yet.”
I nod and she does a little wave on her way out. I don’t get London, but it seems like pretty much everyone around here loves her, so I’ll wait and see how it all plays out. That was really nice of them to offer to get me some baby items. I’m excited to see what Silas comes up with. Knowing him, it’ll be like plug-in protectors or something I won’t need for like eight months. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts and my brother has always figured things out with a little bit of time.
“Hey, Sunshine,” Twist mumbles as he comes in the room, looking surprised at me folding all of his clothes as well as mine.
“Hi.”
“You don’t need to do all that; you should be layin’ down, babe.”
“I wanted to.” I shrug and he nods, giving in. He knows I’m stubborn.
“You ‘bout ready to go see this doctor?”
“Yep, my appointment is in forty-three minutes. Is someone following me to the office?”
“I done told you woman; I’m driving you.”
“I don’t want to have you stuck there waiting on me though.”
“It’s all good. I’ll live, trust me.”
“Okay awesome, because I really didn’t want to have to go alone anyhow,” I ramble, slipping on my Toms and he chuckles, shaking his head at me.
“You’re gonna drive me crazy, you know that?”
“Yeah, but you get benefits too. For example, your new found love of peanut butter.” He’s been feeding me peanut butter quite a few times. He likes to watch me suck it off his fingers or he licks it off my nipples. Not to mention the cake I baked for him a few days ago.
“I love peanut butter,” he mutters under his breath, and I giggle.
“Can we get a strawberry sundae on the way back?”
“Yeah, baby, we can get whatever you want.”
Right answer.
We make our way through the bar to be held up by Silas. His eyebrows rise as he glances from me to Twist.
“What’s up, sister?”
“I’m heading to my doctor’s appointment.”
“Right, and what’s he doin’?” He chin-lifts to Twist.
“He’s taking me.”
His eyes meet Twist’s. “You’re takin’ her?”
“Yep.”
“To the baby’s appointment?”
“Yep.”
Silas nods and kisses my forehead, moving to the side so we can pass. That was weird, but the guys here all act like cavemen most of the time anyhow.
We get in my car and I turn to Twist. “So, what was that about?”
“Just your brother bein’ 2.” He shrugs and I leave it alone. Whatever that means.
“I can’t wait; I get an ultrasound today. I can find out what I’m having if I want to. I could have found out sooner, but I’ve had fun waiting. I think for clothes and stuff, though, I should find out. What do you think?”
“Just do what makes you happy, Sunshine. That’s all you gotta worry ‘bout.”
He’s right, and I want to know. I’ve always wanted to find out, but I think it’s extra special holding out longer for the surprise. I can’t wait to tell my brother what I’m having. I wonder if he wants one or the other more?
I get a swift kick to the ribs, making me grunt, and Twist looks over at me concerned. I just smile and point to my tummy causing him to grin and shake his head, turning back to watch the road.
I never in a million years expected to find a man at my brother’s club like Twist. He’s so caring and protective; I wish everyone got to see him like I do at times like this when he actually smiles. I heard his rich laugh at our picnic for the first time and it was amazing. The deep timbre made my heart fill, wanting to hear him laugh like that all the time.
We get to the hospital, find the women’s clinic, and get all checked in. I have a mountain of paperwork to fill out, but eventually work through it all and get situated on the uncomfortable table to wait for them to do the
