Thanks for reviewing and the interest in my story. I'm still surprised by all the favorites and story alerts I get! On to Wade's surprise, here's chapter 13…
************************************************************************ZADE*********
"Wade, where are you taking me?" I asked after wandering around for a good ten minutes blindfolded. I had my hands reached out hoping to touch something to give me a clue as to where we were.
"Damn it woman I told you it was a surprise!" He replied laughing. We walked a little ways more before he finally pulled me to a stop.
"Okay, are you ready?" He asked.
"Yes!" I shrieked getting antsy. Finally he was done torturing me and took the blindfold off. "Where are we?" I questioned looking around. There was a modest house with a deck that needed boards replaced and a yard that need a green thumb. However the view from here was great.
"Our new home." He smiled proudly placing his hands on his hips as he checked out the new real estate.
"You bought a house." I said shocked in disbelief.
"Yup. It's a fixer upper but I figured we had time." His grinned widened until he saw the look of skepticism on my face. "What's wrong, you don't like it?" He asked puzzled.
"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't see why we need it. We already have places to live." I replied.
"Yeah, places. This way we can all live under the same roof." He said as if it was that simple.
"Can we go inside?" I asked. He held out his hand and I took it, then he gave me a tour. The bathrooms and kitchen needed upgraded and the whole house needed to be repainted, but on the plus side it had four bedrooms and a Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom.
"How can we afford this?" I asked once we were back down stairs.
"The previous owner was glad to get it off his hands so he sold it to me pretty cheap." He explained. I thought about who in town would, could, afford to sell their house for cheap and came up with one person.
"Lavon?" I asked turning on him.
"He said it was an early baby shower gift." He shrugged it off.
"Wade this is too much." I told him hesitant to accept it but not all too willing to give it up.
"I know that's what I said. He replied by saying he'd kick us out of our old houses if we didn't take it." He answered right away. Obviously Lavon and him already fought this through.
"I've never had a house before." I confided to him. He came over and wrapped his arms around me grinning like a fool.
"Now you do." He replied leaning in to kiss me.
"What happened to the Cowboy Casanova you used to be? I broke you!" I laughed snuggling into his chest.
"Women's hearts are breaking all around town." He joked.
"Not funny." I replied playfully punching him in the chest.
"That's not fair, I can't hit back! Not only are you a woman, you're a pregnant woman." He frowned.
"Hey! That's sexist." I replied hitting him again this time on the shoulder.
"Would you quit that?" He asked rubbing his arm.
"Why? There's nothing you can do about it." I laughed sticking my tongue out at him.
"I can think of a few things." He grinned wickedly.
"You're bluffing, you've got nothing." I responded suspicious.
"You're wrong." He said shaking his head. I relaxed thinking I'd been right only to be caught in his grip a moment later to be tickle tortured.
"Waade!" I screeched unable to stop giggling.
"Say you're sorry." He ordered not letting go.
"I'm sorry." I managed to choke out between shrilly laughs. He loosened his grip and I pulled away. "You baby." I added running back the way I thought we came.
"Damn it I am not a baby!" He shouted laughing as he chased me. I slowed down a little until I saw the road leading to my house and ran the rest of the way. As soon as I saw my porch I sprinted up my steps and flew inside, slamming my door in the process. I jogged up the stairs to my bedroom before collapsing on the bed just as I heard the door open and close with footsteps pounding as they got closer to me.
"What took you so long?" I asked out of breath, sitting up on my elbows.
"You had a head start." He pointed out.
"Okay." I agreed sarcastically flopping back on the bed.
"Does it really matter how long I took? The point is we're both here now." He said wiggling his eyebrows.
"So?" I probed for more.
"Soo, do you want to fool around?" He asked winking at me as he joined me on the bed hovering over my body. I laughed at him but wrapped my arms around his neck to kiss him anyway. As soon as our lips locked however my stomach had other ideas.
"Oh god." I pushed away from him and ran to the toilet.
"Well that's new." He frowned falling on to the mattress frustrated. "I thought morning sickness was supposed to happen in the morning?" He questioned.
"It doesn't necessarily just occur then, it can go on all day." I answered with my head in the toilet.
"Well than why don't they call it all day sickness instead?" He joked. I lifted my head to glare at him only to lower it a few seconds after to puke some more.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?" He asked coming in to the bathroom with his nose scrunched up and pinched with two fingers.
"Go away." I told him wiping my mouth with toilet paper.
"Come on, you don't mean that." He grinned trying to pull me into a hug.
"No I'm serious go!" I shouted leaning back over the toilet to vomit some more.
"Let me at least hold your hair back again." He suggested coming over to join me making me sicker.
"Wade, are you wearing something?" I asked into the porcelain pot.
"Like cologne?" He questioned.
"Yes." I moaned resting my head on my arm.
"Old Spice, but that's never bothered you before. Is it my deodorant?" He asked sniffing himself.
"I don't know just get in the shower and wash it off." I ordered cleaning myself up.
"Sure thing Doc." He smiled turning on the facet and stripping in front of me. His mouth got wider when he caught me staring.
"Enjoying the show?" He asked. "Feel free to join me." He winked stepping into the hot water.
"Make sure you scrub yourself down real good!" I shouted over the water.
"You know it would go a lot better if I had some help." He hollered back. He swiped his hand across the foggy glass and smiled teasingly at me.
"Oh fine." I gave up stripping off my clothes and getting in with him. I washed him down gingerly making sure not to miss anything.
"Better?" He asked gazing into my eyes.
"Much." I agreed leaning over to kiss him. He opened his mouth up for me happy to have my tongue poking in. He put his hands on my back slowly creeping them down to my butt before dragging them up to the pulse point in the back of my neck sending chills down my spine.
"You didn't break me, you fixed me." He told me when our lips broke apart. My heart squeezed and I couldn't keep the huge smile from forming on my face. He was being so vulnerable and open with me making my toes curl with happiness.
"I love you." I responded by kissing him.
He pulled away from me just to say "I love you too Zoe." before capturing my lips with his again. Neither of us noticed the water turning cold we were both so caught up by the heat we created between us.
"Bed." He suggested separating his lips from mine. "Too slippery, you could slip and fall." He replied when I tried to take hold of him again. He turned off the water and climbed out grabbing two towels from the shelf. He tried drying off but I yanked the towel out of his hand and threw it on the ground. I was going to be the only thing touching him tonight. Even if that meant licking every droplet of water off his skin myself. I pounced on him, quickly tangling my hands in his hair and my tongue with his taking his suggestion and landing on the bed.
