A/N: I'm so sorry for the long wait for a new chapter but I started with University and between moving out and learning for my first exams I somehow forgot about this story. But now it's term break and I'll try to update more regularly. I hope you are still interested in this story.

Chapter 10 – Sharing love

Smiling happily, he scooped her up into his arms. He was caught a little off guard by her new gained weight and lost his balance a little but he soon got his composure back. Jordan was giggling in his arms about his little struggle. He had never heard her making such a sound before but he surely liked it.

"Hey, don't make fun of me. You've gained a little weight there," he teased her.

"Oh, are you trying to tell me that I'm fat?" she teased him back.

"Not at all, that's just my way of telling you that you're gorgeous," he said, while carrying her towards the bedroom.

She was amazed how easily he could turn their banter into a serious compliment for her. Once again she cursed herself that she had lost so much time with this wonderful man because of her own stupidity. She asked herself what she had been so afraid of. He was the only man she could be truly happy with but she had always felt that he deserved someone better. But now that she knew he loved her with all her mistakes she felt like she could be this better person. It was the first time she wasn't scared at all, the first time she didn't feel tormented by the demons of her past. It was like an inner peace had finally overcome her.

They were now standing in front of the bed and he gently lowered her onto it before lying down next to her. He popped himself up onto his elbow and took a moment to look at her. He still couldn't quite grasp it. He was here with the woman of his dreams who was carrying his child. In the last hour his life has taken a complete turn but not for the worse. He was still shocked and he was overwhelmed with all the changes that would take place now but overall he was happy and he could see the same happiness in her eyes. Somehow he had the feeling that now everything would be okay.

He wanted to show her the love he felt for her so he showered her face with kisses. First her forehead, then her eyelids and the tip of her nose and lastly he planted a gentle kiss to her lips which grew hotter the moment she started to respond to it. She pulled his head closer and used the first opportunity to slip her tongue into his mouth. After a few moments they pulled apart breathlessly and looked into each other's eyes.

"Woody…I love you," she whispered between breaths.

"I love you, too," he said, stroking her flushed cheeks.

He dipped his head down again to kiss her softly. For a while they were able to keep trading slow and gently kisses but the urge for more became overwhelming. Her hands started to roam over his muscular chest while his lips travelled to her neck. She moaned pleasurably at these sensations.

He wanted to feel her skin under his fingers so he skimmed his fingers along under the material of her shirt. He slowly lifted her shirt and she helped him to pull it over her head.

He couldn't help but to adore her full breasts that here clad in a lacy, dark green bra. They had definitely gotten bigger during her pregnancy, not that he would say that they were too small before. This was just a nice side effect. He let his hand follow his gaze through the valley of her breasts, over her swollen belly and back up again.

His lips met hers in a sensual kiss while he made short work of the front clasp of her bra. He pushed the material away and cupped her soft breast. When he teased her nipple with his thumb she moaned into his mouth. He kissed his way down to her other breast to reward it with the same attention.

Her breasts were not bigger now but also more sensitive. His soft ministrations let her arousal grow rapidly. She felt as if she was burning from the inside and she squirmed underneath him, moaning his name. She wanted more but she also didn't want him to stop, so she gripped his broad shoulders for support.

She was so caught up in the sensations that she didn't acknowledge him opening the drawstring of her pants and pushing a hand inside. He heard surprised gasp which transferred into a deep moan as he began to tease her through her panties. His mouth eventually left her breast only to begin a journey down her body. He left a trail of wet kisses behind over her belly. When he reached her waistband she helped him to push her pants down, his mouth following the track of her pants over her thighs.

When her pants were discarded, he changed to her other leg. By the time he reached the inside of her thigh, her whole body was tingling with anticipation. He hooked his thumbs under the waistband of her panties, which soon joined her pants on the floor. Now she lay in front of him totally naked. It was a breathtaking sight. He crawled back up and lay down next to her. He bent over her and caressed her face with his hand.

"I love you so much," he looked deep into her eyes before he leant down to kiss her again.

Her hands were gently stoking his chest. She could feel each of his toned muscles under her fingertips as her hands were working their way down to the fly of his jeans. She fumbled with the button and after she succeeded to open it, she pushed the zipper down. She began to tuck impatiently at his jeans until he got the hint and kicked his jeans and boxers off with a little effort.

He quickly bent down again to capture her lips in a passionate kiss while his hands were working their magic on her body but she also wasn't idle. She wanted to pleasure him as much as he pleasured her and she could just do that when her hand reached its destination. She gave his full hard length a few strokes. Encouraged by his moans she picked up the pace a little. She was so occupied with her actions that she was caught off guard again when he slipped a hand between her legs.

Her breath hitched in her throat and she moaned his name when he began to caress her wet center and her eyes closed involuntarily. Her senses were on full overload and it didn't take long until she was at the brink of orgasm. He seemed to sense this.

"Jordan, honey, open your eyes."

She did what he wanted and her eyes met his which were clouded with desire.

"Make love to me, Woody," she breathed.

He kissed her gently once more before his body spooned hers. He placed one arm around her waist to hold her in place while he slowly entered her. They both gasped at the feeling of him deep inside of her. It was already great during their first time together but now they were sober it felt utterly amazing.

She found his hand and intertwined her fingers with his. He began to move slowly, blowing soft kisses to the back of her neck as his other hand roamed over her body. He heard her breathing quicken and she sighed pleasurably.

When he cupped one of her breasts and began to stimulate it, she arched her back against him. She could feel his hot breaths in the back of her neck, which made her shiver pleasantly.

"Oh Woody," she moaned. She could already feel the familiar head spread through her body.

This encouraged him to pick up the pace a little. After a while he could tell by her hard breathing and her moans that she was getting close already and he could also feel the pressure building inside of him. He knew he wouldn't last long anymore, so he moved a hand to stimulate her most sensitive spot.

This didn't miss its purpose. She was panting and moaning and waves of pleasure rippled through her body. Only a few more thrusts later and she voiced her release. He also wasn't able to hold back any longer. Her name tumbled from his lips as he came.

While the aftermaths of their lovemaking rippled through their bodies, he held her as close as possible and pressed feather light kisses to her neck. After a few moments their breathing was more normal again and she finally turned around in his arms while he pulled the comforter over them.

"I love you, Woody," she said, meeting his eyes.

"I love you, too," he said before he pressed a kiss to her lips.

Jordan smiled and snuggled closer to him. She could feel his arms tighten around her.

"Mmh, this is nice. I don't think I was ever that happy," she purred.

"Me too. Having you in my arms just feels so right."

"Too bad it took me so long to realize that," she said with a little regret.

"Hey, we're together now and we're having a baby. That's all what matters. We should start our future together and forget about the past," he caressed her back gently.

She put her hand over his heart to feel his steady heartbeat. "You're right. And when we already talk about our future, you know I'll need a bigger place for me and the baby," she started.

He nodded his head, already guessing what she had in mind.

"Anyways, what would you think if you'd join us in this new place?" she continued.

"You mean you want us to live together?"

He didn't think that she would be ready for such a big step so quickly.

She nodded her head. "You don't have to say yes if you think it's too early. I just found the thought of having you around permanently very appealing," she stammered.

"That's a wonderful idea; of course I want to live with you. I want to be near you and the baby. I just hope we won't rip each other's head off after two weeks," he joked.

She chuckled at this. "Hey, you know you couldn't live without me and my tics."

"Oh, that's so true," they smiled at each other.

The previous actions had tired them out and this was starting to show now. Jordan let out a yawn and snuggled comfortably into his arms.

"Night, Woody," she mumbled into his chest.

"Night, Jordan," he kissed her forehead.

The sound of his heartbeat quickly lulled her to sleep. He watched her peaceful face closely, but it didn't take long for him to fall asleep, too.
