"I'm pregnant" Emily muttered stopping dead in her tracks. Her hand that was not engulfed in Aaron's dropped to her slightly rounded stomach. Aaron's mouth dropped open in shock. He was speechless. A smile slowly made its way across his face as the news finally sunk in.
"I'm going to be a daddy again?" he asked setting his hand gently on her stomach. Emily smiled and nodded, a smile slowly forming on her lips. Aaron dropped her hand and picked Emily up, swinging her in a circle. Emily wrapped her arms and legs around him tightly and squealed into his shoulder.
"Aaron" she called out. The circular motion was starting to make her sick. Aaron stopped and held her to him tightly, claiming her lips with his in a passionate yet gentle kiss. He pressed her back against the wall as he continued to kiss her. Emily smirked as she untucked his shirt from his pants and snuck her hand up his broad chest. It was going to be a great start to the day.

"Daddy?" Jack asked as he crawled up into his parents' bed. Aaron groaned as Jack accidentally elbowed his lower stomach, barely missing his member. Emily giggled from her position in the doorway to the bathroom, wearing nothing but Aaron's t-shirt.
"What's up buddy?" Aaron asked as he kept the comforter up to his waist. Jack didn't seem to notice his father's discomfort at his near nakedness.
"I heard mommy making a lot of noises earlier. Were you hurting her?" Jack asked innocently. Emily burst into fits of giggles as she turned back into the bathroom, leaving an open mouthed Aaron to explain.
"Emily!" he yelled in mock exasperation. He could hear her laughing from inside the bathroom and he smiled at her carefree demeanor. He pulled a confused Jack closer to him and kissed the little boys temple. "I wasn't hurting her buddy; we were playing an adult game. One you won't know about until you're mommy and daddy's age" Aaron explained. Jack thought for a few minutes before he nodded.
"Ok daddy. I'm going to go play now" Jack replied as he jumped off the bed and scampered towards his room. Aaron shook his head and made sure Jack wasn't coming back before he jumped out of bed and pulled on his boxers. He made his way into the bathroom to see Emily's outline through the shower curtain. His eyes were immediately drawn to her expanding stomach. He couldn't believe their son or daughter was nestled inside there, waiting to be born. He would have to read his parenting book again so he knew what to expect. He was surprised Emily hadn't had morning sickness or any weird cravings.
"Em?" he called out quietly. He wanted to make her aware of his presence, but he didn't want to scare her. He saw Emily smile as she scrubbed the shampoo out of her hair.
"How did the first birds and the bees talk go?" she asked innocently. Aaron rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms over his broad chest and leaned against the wall.
"Good, I told him we were playing an adult game and he couldn't play until he was our age. He seemed to think that was an acceptable answer and left to go play again" he responded. Emily popped her head out and smiled at him seductively.
"Good, so we can play our game some more?" she asked sweetly, giving Aaron a small sneak peek of her sudsy body. Aaron groaned and stripped off his boxers before joining her in the shower.

Jack sat playing in his room, listening to mommy and daddy playing their adult game. He couldn't wait to tell Uncle Dave. Uncle Dave always gave him a dollar when he told him anything about mommy and daddy.
"Hello Jack" a man said. Jack whimpered and moved to the corner of his room. The man smiled and tried to look innocent for the young boy. "Don't tell mommy or daddy I was here ok? This will be our own little secret" he said. Jack nodded; scared if he didn't the man would hurt him. The man smiled once and stroked Jack's hair with his gloved hand. Jack trembled as the man then left again. He stayed in his position afraid to move, afraid that the man would come back. After several minutes of waiting, Jack got up and ran to his parents' room. He burst in and found his mom and dad asleep on the bed.
"Daddy!" he shrieked. Aaron bolted up in bed and caught Jack just as the little boy flung himself at his body. Aaron held the shaking boy while Emily looked on in confusion. "He told me it was our secret daddy, but he scared me" he said.
"Who buddy?
"The man wearing all black and gloves! He came into my room daddy and told me not to tell you!" he said. Emily sat up abruptly. Someone had broken into their apartment and gotten close enough to touch their son. Aaron handed Emily her Glock and Jack before grabbing his own weapon and going to check out the rest of the apartment. Jack clung to Emily and sobbed as she curled her body around his and stroked his head as she sang to him. "I'm scared mommy" he muttered right before he fell asleep to the sound of her heartbeat. Emily continued to sing and stroke his hair to keep herself calm while waiting for Aaron to come back.
"There's nothing there anymore Em" he whispered as he put his gun under his pillow and crawled close to the two, wrapping his arms around Emily and trapping Jack between them. Emily's eyes met Aaron's and his heart broke when he saw they were glazed over with unshed tears.
"I will protect you Em. You and Jack and the baby are all safe. I promise" he whispered. Emily closed her eyes and nodded.
"I know" she whispered.
