`` aw , he 's going to be a good big brother , '' angie remarked .
|
aidan chuckled .
|
`` yeah , he 'll be fine until caroline needs emma .
|
then he 's going to be ready to sell her to the gypsies . ''
|
a nurse exited emma 's room .
|
`` you can go in now . ''
|
as she gazed around the crowd , she shook her head .
|
`` well , some of you can go in . ''
|
rising up off the floor , aidan took noah 's hand .
|
`` come on , buddy .
|
mama wants to see you . ''
|
noah did n't bother waiting on aidan .
|
he barreled through the door .
|
`` mama !
|
mama ! ''
|
he cried .
|
megan smiled as she watched him climb up on emma 's bed .
|
`` there 's my baby boy ! ''
|
emma cried hoarsely , smothering both his cheeks in kisses .
|
he snuggled up to emma 's side .
|
`` come on , meggie .
|
you and pesh come in first , '' aidan suggested .
|
megan did n't argue with him .
|
instead , she took pesh 's hand and followed aidan inside .
|
emma glanced up and shook her head .
|
`` i 'm so sorry for ruining your engagement party . ''
|
`` you did n't ruin our night , '' pesh reassured her .
|
`` that 's right .
|
we kept right on partying-it did n't bother us at all , '' megan teased .
|
emma laughed .
|
`` i 'm glad to hear that . ''
|
megan smiled and jerked her chin over at aidan , who sat in the rocker with caroline .
|
`` congratulations on a beautiful baby girl . ''
|
`` thank you , '' emma replied , as a beaming smile lit up her face .
|
`` are you feeling okay ? ''
|
pesh asked .
|
emma nodded .
|
`` it was a little easier this time and a lot quicker . ''
|
she turned to aidan .
|
`` and this time i did n't have to worry that aidan might not make it . ''
|
aidan chuckled .
|
`` no , you just kept screaming at me to drive faster because you were not going to deliver caroline on the side of the interstate . ''
|
emma 's cheeks flushed .
|
`` i guess i was a little panicked . ''
|
pesh took megan 's hand and squeezed it .
|
`` we better go and let the others have a turn , '' he said .
|
`` do you want us to take noah back with us ? ''
|
considering he was plastered to his mother 's side , megan was n't really looking forward to trying to take him .
|
emma gazed down at her son with love burning in her eyes .
|
`` no , i think he can stay here with us a little longer .
|
i might get connor to take him home .
|
i know he 'll be here until casey delivers . ''
|
`` are you sure you wo n't need your rest ? ''
|
megan asked .
|
`` oh , i 'll pawn him off to aidan and make sure i get plenty of sleep until miss caroline needs me , '' emma replied , with a sly smile .
|
aidan did n't argue with her .
|
he looked perfectly content to lose sleep if it meant being surrounded by his wife and children .
|
after exchanging a few hugs and kisses , she and pesh headed out into the hallway and let the next group in .
|
as they walked down the hall hand in hand , pesh turned to her and smiled .
|
`` you know , i never thought i would see the day i would be envious of aidan again . ''
|
`` what do you mean ? ''
|
he heaved a sigh .
|
`` seeing him with his children makes me envious .
|
one day i hope that 's you with my child in your arms . ''
|
`` oh , '' she murmured .
|
whether or not they would have children together had never really been discussed .
|
it was almost a given that they would , so it did n't seem necessary to iron out when and how many .
|
she wanted nothing more than to give pesh a baby of his own .
|
he was truly the father mason had never had .
|
`` give me a year , '' she said softly .
|
his brows furrowed in confusion .
|
`` what ? ''
|
`` i 'd like one year for us to be together as a married couple before we try to have children . ''
|
`` that only makes me an even older father , '' he protested .
|
`` you 'll be fine .
|
you 're awfully spry for your old age . ''
|
he laughed .
|
`` i just do n't want to be on a walker at his or her high school graduation . ''
|
she smacked his arm playfully .
|
`` one year is not going to make that much a difference . ''
|
`` fine .
|
you win .
|
we 'll wait one year . ''
|
as the elevator doors dinged open , they stepped inside .
|
gazing down at her , pesh said , `` i could n't have picked a more amazing mother for my future children . ''
|
`` yeah , i got ta agree that you did good , nadeen .
|
real good , '' she teased .
|
he cupped her face in his hands and gave her a lingering kiss that silenced anymore of her comebacks .
|
when he pulled away , she smiled at him .
|
`` keep kissing me like that , and i might decide to wait even longer for a baby .
|
you 'll make me want you , your lips , and your dick all to myself for as long as possible . ''
|
`` and here i thought my kisses might get you in the mood for baby-making , '' pesh mused .
|
megan laughed .
|
`` either way , it 's a win-win situation .
|
so bring it on , nadeen .
|
bring .
|
it .
|
on . ''
|
chapter twenty-two although her stomach screamed in protest to drop her fork , megan could n't resist popping in the last bite of delicious crepe into her mouth .
|
as she chewed , she closed her eyes at the delicious combination of chocolate and strawberries danced along her taste buds .
