The Future of Love (Bachelor Billionaire #6) (32 page)

“
Yes,”
he said.

She
stood looking at him in shock.

“
Say
something,” he said. “Please tell me I didn't screw this
up.”

“
You
bought that house?” she asked. “I love that house.”

“
I
did,” he said. “There isn't a lot of furniture in it. I
wanted to do that together. I did get furniture for the bedroom
though.”

“
That's
my nephew,” Ethan yelled from the side.

“
When
did you buy it?” she asked.

He
looked down at her and pulled her into his arms.

“
Kyle,”
she whispered.

“
Honestly,”
he said.

“
Of
course,” she said.

“
I
heard you tell Becky how much you liked it the day after I kissed you
on the beach.”

“
You
heard me?” she asked.

“
I
did,” he answered. “As soon as I got home, I called the
realtor and bought both of the houses.”

“
You
bought that house before we even started talking?” she asked.

He
nodded.

“
How?
Why?” she started.

“
I
told you,” he said. “I knew you belonged with me the
moment I first saw you. You loved that house. Your whole face lit up
when you talked about it. I couldn't stop thinking about you. When I
got home, I bought the house.”

She
wrapped her arms around his neck and covered his lips with hers.

“
I
am the luckiest girl in the world,” she said.

“
No,
I'm the lucky one,” he said, as she scooped her into his arms
and headed down the beach toward their new home.

Kyle

Six
Months Later

Kyle
and Jenny were sitting on the couch watching television. She had her
feet up on his lap so he could rub them. Jenny felt like she was
ready to pop, but Kyle thought she looked beautiful and knew for sure
that he'd want her pregnant again one day. He jumped when his phone
rang and hurried to pick it up.

“
Hey,
Gavin,” he said.

“
We're
at the hospital. Becky's in labor. She asked me to call you to see if
you'd bring Jenny,” Gavin said.

“
Or
course,” Kyle answered. “We'll be on our way in a few
minutes.”

Kyle
hung up the phone and looked over at Jenny.

“
Becky's
having the baby and wants you there,” he said.

“
Help
me up,” she said. “We need to hurry.”

Kyle
grabbed her hand and helped her up from the couch with a laugh.

“
It's
not funny, mister,” she said. “Just wait. I'll be kicking
your ass in no time.”

“
Have
to catch me first, baby,” he joked. “Now waddle that
sweet ass over here.”

Jenny
laughed as she flung her arms around his neck and laughed.

“
You're
so beautiful,” he said. “I love you so much.”

“
I
love you too, babe. Now get me to my friend.”

They
got to the hospital and made their way up to labor and delivery. Kyle
burst into laughter when one of the nurses assumed Jenny was in
labor.

“
I'm
just here to see my friend. She's having a baby,” Jenny said.

“
Maybe
you'll be next to her,” the nurse said.

Jenny
recognized the nurse from when they were there with Ethan. The woman
laughed when Jenny told her Becky's name.

“
You're
one of that group. You just keep us working,” the nurse said
with a smile. “The room right next to hers is still available
if you need it.”

“
Very
funny,” Jenny said. “It's not happening for me just yet.
I still have a couple of weeks. I'm not in any rush.”

“
Is
this your first?” the woman asked.

“
Sure
is,” Jenny said.

They
made their way down the hall to Becky's room and opened the door to
hear her whimpering out. Jenny looked back at Kyle. The two women had
gotten even closer once they found out they were both due around the
same time. It made Kyle feel good that Jenny had another woman to
answer her pregnancy questions when she was worried about things.

“
Are
you sure you want to go in there?” Kyle asked.

“
I
don't know,” Jenny joked. “I'm not sure I want to see the
real live thing until I'm doing it.”

“
Get
your ass in here,” Becky yelled out.

Kyle
walked with his hand on Jenny's back and stopped when he felt her
body tense.

“
What's
wrong with you?” Becky asked.

“
Nothing,”
Jenny said. “I think I have indigestion. It's been going on
since yesterday. My backs been hurting all day. You got my ass off
the couch for this.”

Jenny
walked over and sat down in the chair Gavin got up from when they
walked in.

“
I
can't believe you don't want to know what you were having,”
Becky said. “I can't wait to meet my little guy.”

“
Maybe
if we have another one we'll find out. I wanted to be surprised,”
Jenny said.

“
When
we have another one, baby,” Kyle said. “You heard the
nurse. They need our business.”

“
We'll
talk about that after this baby comes home. I'm not making any
promises.”

“
You're
so cute pregnant,” Kyle said.

“
Okay,”
Gavin snapped. “We get it.”

Becky
went through another contraction and looked over at Jenny. Kyle saw
Jenny wince the same time Becky did.

“
You
okay?” he asked.

“
Yep,”
she answered. “My stomach cramped up. I knew I shouldn't have
eaten all that food for lunch.”

Becky
looked up at Kyle and nodded her head toward Jenny. He had no idea
what she was trying to say through her motions.

Julie
walked in and interrupted Becky's signal. She wrapped her arms around
Becky's neck and hugged her.

“
Where's
Ethan?” Becky asked.

“
Home
with six kids. I'm not leaving until you go home,” Julie said
with a smile.

As
soon as she finished, Becky had another contraction. Then Jenny
winced again. Julie's eyes shot over to Jenny.

“
Sympathy
pains?” she asked. “Why are wincing when she has a
contraction?”

“
It's
nothing. I've been feeling a bit strange and my stomach cramped up
for a second.”

Julie
put her hands over her mouth and started to laugh.

“
What's
so funny?” Jenny asked.

“
Nothing,”
Julie said.

Then
she walked over to Kyle and pulled him off to the side.

“
Your
wife is in labor and doesn't even realize it. Pay attention to your
watch for each time she winces. Time how far apart they are.”

Kyle
knew his eyes were wide. Julie put her hand on his arm.

“
It's
fine, Kyle. I'm thinking from the look on her face that you two will
be having a baby as well.”

Kyle
starting watching. It seemed like every time Becky had a contraction,
Jenny winced. After a few more times, Julie shook her head and turned
to Kyle.

“
You
see that. They are spaced exactly the same. Did they plan this shit?”

“
I
don't think so,” he said.

Julie
walked over to where Jenny was sitting and leaned down next to her.

“
Tell
me everything you've been feeling today,” she said.

Jenny
went on to tell her about her back hurting, the indigestion, and the
stomach cramps she'd been having all day. Just as Julie began to
suggest that Jenny get checked, Jenny let out a yelp. Then Julie
looked down before looking back at Kyle.

“
You're
having a baby. Her water just broke,” she said.

Jenny
instantly had tears in her eyes.

“
Hey,”
Julie said. “Everything is fine. You've been in labor this
whole time. It's not so bad.”

“
Are
you crazy?” Becky asked. “Don't lie to the poor thing.”

“
Shut
it,” Julie said. “Not everyone takes it as hard as you
do.”

Julie
took Jenny by the arm and led her out of the room. Kyle held the door
and took Jenny's other arm. They walked to the funny nurse and the
woman's mouth dropped.

“
I
was just kidding,” she said.

“
Her
water already broke,” Julie said. “Get her a room. She's
not going anywhere. She was in labor before she even got here.”

They
put Jenny in the room right next to Becky.

“
I
want to be there for Becky,” Jenny said. “We can have the
baby after she does.”

“
I'll
check on Becky for you,” Kyle said. “You're not leaving
this room.”

Of
course the entire group of girls had the same doctor, so they just
had to wait for her to get there for Becky. Kyle called and left a
message just in case.

The
nurses had Jenny in bed and hooked up to monitors in no time. Before
long, she was in the same position as Becky.

Kyle
never left her side for one second. Julie ran from one room to the
next. John and Sandy showed up and were keeping Jenny company as
well. Gavin even popped his head into the room a few times. He
assured Jenny that they were on their fourth child, so he was able to
leave the room for a minute.

The
doctor went back and forth between the two women and joked that she
knew they were good friends but were taking it to a whole new level.

Julie
went over to be with Gavin once it was time for Becky to push. Jenny
had no idea how much time had passed. She was already exhausted and
trying to sleep in between contractions. Kyle wasn't so sure they
made the right choice on having a delivery without any pain relief.
His wife was in pain, and he couldn't do a single thing to take it
away from her.

Julie
came back into the room to announce the room next door had a healthy
baby boy. Kyle sat right next to Jenny until they kicked everyone
else out of the room. It was baby time. Jenny was so tired, but she
did an amazing job of following exactly what the doctor was telling
her. When Kyle saw that beautiful, tiny face and heard that little
cry, tears filled his eyes instantly.

“
It's
a girl,” Kyle said through his tears. “We have a perfect
little girl.”

Jenny
let her tears fall as soon as their eyes met. Kyle cut the cord. When
they handed Jenny her little bundle, they both stared at her.
