Chapter One The Gift
Rays of sunlight, filtered by the curtains, filled the bedroom of the one and only Ms. Courtney Matthews. Two bodies became one that night, and the nights before, but they currently laid together, asleep. Slowly, the man's ice blue orbs fluttered open to gaze around the room. A smile slowly crept across Jax's pale tiers as he recalled the night before. Magical.. Was all that came to his mind. She seemed too peaceful to awaken, instead he decided to cook the both of them.
Finally rising to his feet, he searched for the pair of silk black boxers he wore to dinner the night before. After finding them, he quickly pulled them on and made his way into the kitchen where he soon prepared breakfast; pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. And with that, he stepped back into the bedroom to find Courtney, already awoke, sitting up with the sheet pulled up around her. Smiling softly, he set the tray of nicely prepared breakfast over her lap and climbed back into the bed next to her. Scooting closer to her, he placed gentle kisses on the soft skin of her neck, causing her to giggle softly.
"Made you breakfast.." He stated in stated in that smooth aussie accented voice.
"Looks delicious.. But you know what looks even better?" She questioned with a rather devious look playing across those strawberry tiers as she placed the tray of food on the floor beside the bed.
"And what would that be?" He tossed back at her, before sucked on the hide of her neck, reveling in the soft flesh.
"Hmm.. You." She answered.
Hands moved to cup his cheeks and quickly bring their lips together. Courtney's tounge gained access to his mouth, soon finding his tongue and swirling around it. She couldn't help but sigh into the kiss as Jax's hands moved to her waist, sliding her down and guiding himself ontop of her. He broke the kiss for a brief moment to gaze down at her, in awe with her beauty. Within seconds, their lips met once more, not in a quick hungered kiss, but a slow, passionate, loving kiss.
The kiss didn't last long, Courtney's hands met his shoulders and pushed him back as she hopped to her feet and rushed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Knees hit the fluffy bathrug, hands connected with the sides of the toilet seat, and thus, she threw her socks up.
Jax moved to press his back against the bedframe, taken back by her sudden disappearence. Furrowing a brow, he heard her vomitting. Thoughts ran through his mind, worried.
Inside the bathroom, Courtney finally sat down on the bathrug, back against the wall, knees at her chest. "This can't be.." She whispered to herself before she slowly rose to her feet and opened the medicine cabinet, in search of pregnancy test, one that wasn't used from the time she found out she was pregnant. After finding it, she did exactly what she did over a year ago.
Still worried, Jax rose to his feet and stepped towards the bathroom, knocking on the door. "Court?" Questioned in a concerned tone. No answer, he knocked again. Still no answer. "Courtney, what's wrong?"
"I -- I'm fine, Jax.. I'll be right out." She gulped, waiting for the results of the test. After two excruciatingly long minutes passed, light blue orbs shifted to glance at the test. Eyes widened in excitement. Flinging the door open she rushed towards Jax and threw her arms around his neck, smiling from ear to ear as she kissed him gently.
A bit taken back, he continued to kiss her, but pulled away after a few moments. "Now, Ms. Matthews, you do have to tell me what is going on. I am not one who likes to be kept in the dark." Said with a smile.
"Well, it's a miracle." She hugged him close before pulling him back to the bed and kissing him passionatly. Their tongues met as she pulled him ontop of her. They kissed for minutes before Jax pulled away for air. Furrowing both brows, she looked up to him.
"You're? I thought?" Speechless, he looked down towards her.
"I'm -- I'm pregnant, Jax." She couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. She was pregnant, and in love with the man of her dreams. How could she not be happy? It was her dream come true. She had always wanted kids, and the one time she was pregnant, she miscarried and was told it wouldn't be possible to concieve again. Proved them wrong. She thought to herself.
"Courtney, that is... The best thing anyone has ever told me."
