Found by Love (48 page)

I looked at Olivia and I could tell that she wanted to say something but I tugged her on the arm because I recognized the look on Josie's face as one that I used to have on mine before Caleb and I were reconnected. Also I see the deep sadness that Mattie was saying he saw in her when we danced and not to mention I knew a little of her back ground that I hadn’t told anyone.

"Come on O. Let's go find you something in blue. You know it's your favorite color and it'll drive Cash crazy all night when he looks at how sexy you look." She caught on to what I was doing and let out a big sigh.

"Yeah well, I haven't felt sexy in a long time so I might as well try to enjoy it before I start showing again." She looked at Josie and half grinned at her. "When you feel like talking to us just remember that there's nothing you could have done that will make us love you less than we already do. I mean hey... We still allow Claudia to come around us, haha!!" She looked at me and winked. "Just kidding of course! Haha."

"Yeah, yeah. You're so funny today! Ha, ha, ha, HA! Come on ladies. Let's go find us something that will have all of the men drooling at the Christmas party!" The three of us headed towards the boutique area to start trying on dresses and nothing else was mentioned about Josie and her past for the rest of the day.

****************

"Well?" I had just walked out of the bathroom with the pregnancy test in my hand but I hadn't looked at it yet because I wanted to share it with Caleb.

When we got back from shopping I ran straight to the bathroom to empty my stomach for what felt like the hundredth time today. I had heard him ask Olivia if I was alright and she only told him that she wasn't sure what was wrong with me. As soon as we came upstairs to our bedroom I told him the possibility that I could be pregnant and he made me take the test immediately.

I walked over to him with the test in my hand and put it between us so that we could both see the results and my heart dropped!

"I'm... I mean... We're... pregnant!" I looked into his eyes through my blurry ones and wished that I could freeze this moment in time. I have never seen such love and adoration in his eyes like I do in this very moment. He grinned through his tears and pulled me to him and raised my shirt and kissed my belly.

"Hey there baby." He looked up at me with a cocky grin on his face and continued. "I'm your daddy and I just want to tell you right now that you are going to be the most loved baby in the whole world and you're going to have the best big brother in the world.  I can't wait to meet you." Awww... Can anyone die from being loved too much? Every day I feel more and more loved and secure and can't imagine life getting any better. He started rubbing my belly while still grinning and chuckled.

"What's so funny?" He picked me up and laid me on the bed and rose above me and continued to rub my belly. He looked at me and was still grinning.

"You don't want to know what I was thinking Baby." Oh no! Do I really want to know? There's no telling where his mind went.

"I think I do Nerd Boy. What is it?" He leaned up and kissed me gently on the lips while still grinning.

"Do you promise not to slap me or be mad?" I scrunched my eyes at him and nodded because I had to know what was so funny. He looked at me and leaned back a little bit waiting to see what I had to say but I nodded at him.

"Okay. Here goes." He inhaled a deep breath and blurted it out. "I hope it’s twins so that we can name them Luke and Leah." I know my eyes must have about popped out of my head because he moved closer to hold my arms down that were about to rise up and slap him. “I knew you were going to lunge for me!" He waited for me to calm down and I about flipped out at what he said next. "Triplets would be awesome because having a Luke and a Leah AND a Han Solo would even make Grayson happy because we already have a Chewbacca!" I started bucking against him and he let go of me and rolled over in a fit of laughter. I grabbed every pillow I could find and started hitting him with them.

"You've lost your ever loving MIND! Han Solo? Really? No freaking way in hell am I EVER naming one of my children Han Solo!" He put all of the pillows back on to the bed that he dodged and grinned again.

"So you're not mad that it could be twins?" I let out a long sigh and shook my head.

"Why be mad when I made the mistake of getting pregnant by your Super Kingston sperm?" The heated look that he got on his face had me squirming and pulling him near me because I wasn't thinking about babies anymore.

"Oh my God you amaze me and I love you so much! Care to celebrate?" He nuzzled my neck as I sighed.

"Might as well enjoy it while we can... Nerd Boy." I leaned up and pulled his bottom lip into my mouth and moaned as I slipped my tongue into his mouth to let me know how much I needed him.

"Oh Baby. I don't want to hurt you but if you keep that up this could get pretty rough and wild. We can't hurt the baby can we?" I pushed him over and got on top of him and straddled him feeling just how excited he was.

"How about you let me be in control for once? I'll show you rough and wild Baby." He growled at me as he pulled my head down to his and grabbed me by the neck as he kissed me roughly.

"Wanna tie me up?" I arched my brow at him and chuckled and nodded my head. For once he's not going to be in control and my whole body was vibrating from the excitement of making him beg for mercy.

"Oh boy do I!" I got up and grabbed some scarves out of my dresser drawer and went back to the bed and tied him up. I had one left and he was looking at me pensively wondering what my next step was so I answered his silent question. "Oh I'm going to blindfold you like you did me. I must admit that it was quite erotic and I want you to wonder what all I'm going to do to you. Get ready." I covered his eyes up before he could respond and he took a deep breath and exhaled and grinned.

"I love you Cru and I love that you have a freaky wild side. Oh my GOD I love that you have a freaky wild side. Give it to me baby because I'm ready!" Give it to him was exactly what I did long into the night until we were both so exhausted we couldn't move.

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

I walked out of the bathroom to let Caleb know that I was ready and stopped in my tracks when I took one look at him in his tuxedo. My oh my... Man he is hot! Knowing that he's all mine made my toes curl a little. He had slicked his wild mess of curls back and had just enough stubble on his face to drive me crazy which caused my stomach to drop at just how sexy he was. His eyes darkened with lust and I can honestly say that the last thing I want to do is go to this Christmas party with the family.

"Let's stay home Cru! No way in hell do I want another man to look at you and he have the same thoughts that I have running around in my head right now." I beamed up at him and checked him out from head to toe to let him know that I liked what I saw as well.

"Oh I could say the same thing about you too Sexy. Too bad we aren't taking our own limo because we could definitely play a few games on our way to the party." I wrapped my arms around his waist and his jacket surrounded me while he grabbed my face with his hands and tilted my head up to reach his lips. Who cares that I just spent 30 minutes applying my make up? As long as I'm in his arms little trivial things like my messed up make up don't even matter.

He reached down and caressed my stomach the way that he does constantly to feel connected to the baby. There's something about being with a man that cherishes his baby and is looking forward to meeting them. He nuzzled my neck and whispered into my ear sending electric tingles down my spine.

"How are you feeling Honey? Are Luke and Leah giving you any problems today?" I giggled knowing that he would love to have a set of twins like his brother.

"Luke or whatever she will be named if it's a girl is being nice to me today and I haven't felt sick at all. I'm not having twins Caleb so you might as well accept it." I agreed to Luke if it's a boy because it is his middle name and of course I would name his first son after him but I told him absolutely no on naming our daughter Leah.

"Ah baby. You're the one that should accept it. I've already had a dream about it and I'm telling you. You're having twins." I playfully pushed him away from me and went to put my heels on and grab my clutch.

"Were you awake or asleep? You know there's a difference between a dream and a fantasy right? Haha." He waited by the door for me and I put my arm inside his when he put his arm out for me.

"Oh it was definitely a dream." He winked at me and led me out of the room. "Derek said hi by the way.” I had stopped dead in my tracks and Caleb turned around and grinning that cocky grin of his.

"Are you kidding me right now? My brother talked to you in your dream and told you I was having twins?" I'm going to kill him! Derek that is! I'm going to bring him back to life and KILL HIM! Why would he joke around with Caleb about something like that? "I'm sure he was joking. Derek was always a prankster; that's where Jeremiah got it from." He started leading me down the stairs one step at a time letting me hold onto him for balance. "What exactly did he say? Did he just come right out and say it? Oh hey, my sister is having twins." He laughed so hard he about lost his balance and I had to grab onto him to keep him from falling.

"Not exactly, all he said was that I was going to get my wish and that he can't wait for me to see THEM and that she looks like me and he will look like you and Grayson." I started feeling dizzy and felt like I was about to pass out. I swayed a little and he grabbed me by the shoulders.

"Cru, are you okay?" I sat down on the stairs and looked up at him and noticed how worried he was.

"I am NOT the kind of woman that Olivia is in being content staying home with babies every day. I could handle one baby and probably take it with me to work for a while but two? No I'm not okay. I mean oh my God Caleb! Twins? Holy shit!" His face softened and he sat down next to me and started rubbing my back.

"If you think that I'm the kind of man that expects you to stay home with our babies then you have misjudged me. Olivia does it because she loves it and I never expected for you to stay at home continuously popping out babies for me. I think that between the both of us we could take the babies with us to work until they're running around and when they get to be too much of a handful we can see if mom or Elizabeth will watch them or we can take turns going to work. We have a few months to decide Baby so let's not stress out about that right now." I don't even know why I put my makeup on for the stupid party. He had me crying when he said I had misjudged him. I jumped into his lap and started giving him kisses all over his face and had him holding on to me and laughing at the same time.

"God I love you so much! You definitely make my life seem so easy sometimes! You're right. We can do this and you make it sound like it's gonna be a walk in the park but I can guarantee you it's not going to be but you make it sound like it. Haha. Come on Baby. Let's go to this ridiculous party." He gave me a gentle squeeze and led me down the stairs where everyone was waiting.

I checked everyone out and I must say; we are all quite a good looking group. Grayson was beaming at me as he put his hands out and turned around for me to see him fully in his tuxedo. I ran to him and lifted his chin with my hand.

"Well aren't you a handsome young man. It's nice to know that if I ever wanted to wear a tux I'd look pretty awesome in it."

I winked at him to let him know that I was just joking. It amazes me sometimes at how much the two of us look alike and according to my ghost brother, Derek, we will have another son that looks like both of us. We haven't told him yet about my pregnancy because we wanted to wait until my first doctor’s appointment and are told that everything is alright with the baby. Or babies! Oh I hope it's not babies!

I looked at Mattie who looked pretty hot in his tux and looked around for Josie to see her reaction to Mattie dressed up but she wasn't anywhere in the room. I thought Caleb and I were the last ones to get ready but I guess not. I heard Olivia and Cash giving Carmen and Lucas instructions for the twins because they decided to not take them after all since both of them were teething and were constantly fussy. Of course Carmen didn't mind and kept telling Olivia not to worry and that she actually knew what she was doing. I giggled and walked over to the older ones of the group.

"Well don't you all look spectacular? Gid, I love your bow tie. Amelia, how do you two always end up matching without making it look too obvious?" Gid had on a plaid bow tie while Amelia had on a Forrest green velvet dress and they both looked like they had walked out of a magazine they looked that elegant.
