Sorry for the delay in updating...I was on a little vacation.
(which btw, I stayed on the 5th floor & smirked inwardly that it was the same floor as Brook Latham - & being that NO ONE in my life knows about my writing, my smirk was only to myself and to YOU my secret readers...hee hee)
ALSO, I am having some writing block since my reviews are almost non existent.
I warned you guys that I really start to lose momentum when I don't have input or encouragement.
Help me out here because I haven't written the next chapter yet and usually I have one on deck while I post one.
Not this time, readers... so i need some pushing and reviews!
Unless of course you don't care about Nick and Jules anymore and well, then I didn't do my job as a writer and for that...I apologize.
BUT...for those of you who do like them...here is another chapter!
The open curtains allowed the bright morning sun to continue to pour inside Room 710, illuminating their naked bodies as they tangled together on the soft, white, sheets. It was no longer the two of them; they had become one. They absorbed into one another with a love that was undeniable... Unmistakable. A love so strong, it was unbreakable.
The entire time she and Nick were making love Jules knew that when they were finished she would tell him about the life changing event that would blow his mind completely. She knew Nick was already so engulfed with happiness that he would never in a million years think that there could be anything that could possibly make him happier than he was right now.
Nick Stokes was about to find out that he was wrong...
Nick was about to find out that Jules had the power to make his happiness grow even bigger than he could ever imagine.
Jules knew as Nick breathed heavier and groaned from the pleasure of being inside her, that he was about to let himself go and cum inside her with intense desire. Jules knew that it was only a matter of minutes before she would give him the news that would change their lives forever…And just that thought alone made her tear up. And this time, as they held each other tightly, she wasn't tearing up from fear. She wasn't tearing up from shame, guilt or sadness. She was tearing up because she wasn't just giving Nick a second chance…she was giving Nick a baby...his son or daughter to add to the beautiful family they already have.
She knew Nick. She knew how he thought and how he would feel. She probably even knew what he would say and do once she told him. Yes, Jules knew him well, and she knew that once he learns she is having his baby he would melt instantly and be left completely speechless.
He breathed in sync with Jules as he caressed her soft, naked, body and made love to her with pure emotion. He felt his heart beat faster. Not only because of the pleasure he felt by being inside her, but because he knew this was the beginning of his life again. He knew he would be leaving the Bellagio behind and taking back the life he once knew. He could go home now with his head held high ….back to his wife…back to his daughter…back to his wonderful life…...
Nick's thoughts only enhanced his pleasure and he closed his eyes and groaned softly in her ear. And, at that moment, as he held his wife tightly in his arms and made passionate love to her, he knew in his heart that absolutely nothing could make him happier than he was at that very moment.
Opening his eyes again and propping himself over her to watch her face as he picked up his momentum, Nick looked down at Jules and saw the tears in her eyes. He didn't worry this time though. He knew why. He knew she wasn't afraid, or sad, or hurt. He knew she was feeling the same way he did... They were beginning their life again... They could breathe again... They were no longer broken and as he picked up his pace he was sealing their fate...he was mending their brokenness.
He felt Jules wrap her arms around him firmly before letting her hands slide down and grab onto his hips. She rocked him faster, pushing him deeper inside her. He knew she needed him to consume her. And he did. Nick closed his eyes again, breathed hard and groaned loudly as he came inside her, and as he did Jules kissed and sucked his neck which only added to the incredible sensation and pleasure. Nick had no idea that she was going to add a whole lot more pleasure in just a few seconds.
Nick stayed inside her for as long as possible. And, before he even pulled out of her, he kissed her forehead as he hovered over her. He kissed the tip of her nose and then her lips.
"I love you so much, Sunshine...I know you already know that..." he said as he pulled out of her slowly but still remained on top of her propped up by his forearms, "…but I have to tell you it every second I can. I will never take it for granted, I love you, baby...I love you with everything I have inside me."
Jules smiled up at him and waited for him to finish what he had to say.
Nick continued as he stared down at her with sincerity.
"You and me...we made it through everything. You came back for me...you believed in me and against all odds YOU refused to let me go... You and me, Sweetheart, we made it," he shook his head back and forth slowly and kissed her again.
Jules put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Moving her lips from his kiss, she trailed her kisses across his cheek before leaning her lips close to his ear. Nick was expecting her to tell him how much she loved him too and he believed that those words would be the best thing he could ever hear. He had never imagined that there were words she was about to say that could trump even those words.
"Nicky?" she whispered softly into his ear.
"Mmm hmmm" he nuzzled his head closer to her making her lips touch his earlobe.
"We made more than that," she rested her forehead on the side of his head.
"Yep, we absolutely did, Darlin', we did it...we came out of all of this stronger. If we could make it through this...we could make it through anything...do you realize that?" he propped himself over her to look directly into her eyes to show his sincerity.
"You're right, Handsome, but...but, we made even more than that," she smiled softly her eyes filling with tears again.
She took in a large breath of air in preparation for her announcement.
Nick squinted and tilted his head slightly never taking his eyes off her. He wasn't sure what she meant. He really thought he covered it all...what else was there? They made it through to the other side. They could make it through anything and they proved it.
When he still didn't get it, she continued.
"Nicky...we made...," she swallowed hard to try and fight back her tears and get the words out.
"Nicky...we didn't just make it through this…we made a baby...we're going to have another baby, Handsome," she whispered out as her lip quivered.
Nick stared at her.
He couldn't speak.
He couldn't breath.
Time stood still.
His thoughts swirled.
"Was she telling him she was pregnant?" He knew that was exactly what she was saying...but he just couldn't wrap his brain around it and so his mouth refused to form any words.
"Did you hear me, Cowboy?" she as looking curiously at him, "I'm pregnant."
Nick still couldn't speak.
Jules stared back at him waiting for his reaction and for a split second she wondered if maybe he wasn't as happy as she thought he would be. She worried that maybe he wasn't speaking because he was thinking it was a bad time for them to add to their family. Lousy timing considering all the chaos swirling around them...But as quickly as that fear came was as quickly as it left…she knew in her heart that thought was not what was keeping him silent. She knew it was because Nick was simply speechless and, as she stared up at him, she saw him begin to melt. She saw his brow furrow and his own lip quiver.
Nick couldn't speak because the happiness inside him made his throat tighten. His heart had swelled so much that he couldn't find his words. He was overflowing and it showed in his tears that had now begun to fill his eyes. His emotions were already raw to begin with, his sensitivity heightened...this unexpected news just pushed him over the edge and he couldn't control his feelings anymore.
"I...I…," he tried to speak as tears streamed down his cheeks. "You're? We're? A baby? We?" he stuttered.
Jules smiled at his absolute disbelief.
"Yes, Handsome, I'm having you're baby...we're having a baby!" she started to laugh with delight.
"We're having a baby?" Nick repeated and laughed back at her before burying his face into her neck.
Jules felt his heart beating hard through his chest. And then, she felt his shoulders shake and she knew he was crying. She just made him happier than he ever knew was possible. She just gave him back more than the life he knew…with the news she just gave him she just added to it.
Jules knew Nick hated to be so sensitive but this just was too emotional for even him to handle. Jules began to cry too knowing her words just made the love of her life this happy.
Nick leaned up again and wiped his tears away with his arm before grabbing her face with both hands and kissing her so hard she lost her breath. Nick still couldn't speak so he spoke to her heart with his kiss instead. And her heart answered him as she kissed him back.
"You...you amaze me," he finally spoke after breaking from their kiss. "You never stop amazing me, Honey, never...you blow my mind. I never thought I could be happier than I was when you came back to me...but you...YOU! YOU'RE HAVING MY BABY!" he jumped up as his smile grew wider and wider…"WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!" he hopped off the bed and grabbed his boxer briefs off the floor. He continued to repeat himself over and over as he pulled them on as if to make sure his brain understood.
"We sure are, Cowboy...you and me...we are having another baby!" she sat up smiling before leaning over and grabbing her purse off the end table. Resting it on her lap, she unzipped it and pulled out the positive pregnancy test. She zipped her purse back up threw it onto the floor. Nick watched her every move and smiled wide when he saw her hold up the little plastic stick as proof.
Nick dove back on the bed landing on top of her. He kissed her neck and made her scream, before rolling over and sitting up next to her. Taking the little, plastic, stick from her hand, he stared at it intensely before putting it down and grabbing her face in his hands again.
"My God, how is it possible to love someone like this?" he whispered before he kissed her.
Jules and Nick kissed passionately before he pulled her head to his shoulder and hugged her tightly. The more he thought about having another baby with her the tighter he squeezed her.
"Nick... Cowboy, your going to make my head pop off!" she mumbled out from his chest.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Darlin'," he chuckled and loosened his grip.
Jules freed herself from his embrace, gave her head a slight shake and rubbed the side of it as she smiled at him.
"Um, so I take it you're happy? I take it...uh, you're okay with the timing?" she grinned.
Nick jerked his head back and he gave her a look.
"Oh, ohhhh, do you reallllly need me to answer that, Sunshine?" he laughed and grabbed her face again kissing her hard for yet another time.
Pulling away, they smiled at each other with their faces only inches apart…both of them holding onto each others cheeks with both hands.
Leaning back to stare directly into her face he began to suddenly bombard her with questions.
"How far along...do you know that yet?...when did you find out? How long have you known? Do you know when? What made you take a test? Oh my God, that's right, you stopped getting your shot! But that was only a month or two ago, right? Are you late?" he rattled off questions a mile a minute.
Jules held her index finger to his lips in order to stop him.
"I can only answer one question at a time, Texas!" she laughed. "I just found out this morning! I was making Em breakfast…and I thought I would literally throw up when I handed her her pancakes this morning...the smell made me gag. I really started to gag and that made me stop and think," she nodded at him, "…and I thought back to things that I didn't take notice of earlier... with everything that was going on...I just...I can't remember when I had my period last but I can tell you that at Josh and Anna's wedding I didn't drink with you that night because I felt sick in my stomach and had that wicked headache, remember?"
Nick nodded emphatically before looking down and placing his hand on her bare belly as she spoke...as if he was acknowledging the new baby inside her.
Looking back up at her he said loudly, "Oh yeah, you're right!"
Nick then began to nod and give her an "I told you so" look before adding, "And THAT'S why you wanted Tiramisu the other night! I TOLD YOU YOU HATE Tiramisu!" he pointed at her smiling, "You eat weird things when you're pregnant! I forgot about that! You ate things you usually hate when you were pregnant with Emma!"
Jules nodded in agreement and continued, "By the way, I stopped my shots about 3 or 4 months ago, Nick," she reminded him and rolled her eyes slightly at how far off he was about when she stopped. "I also threw up several times and I felt like it even more times than I can count...I thought it was stress!" she explained.
Nick nodded absorbing everything she was telling him.
Jules squinted her eyes and twisted her mouth in thought before she continued on/
"So, I'm thinkin'...last time, when I was pregnant with Emma, I started those headaches and feeling nauseous about 3 or 4 weeks along...way before I knew I was pregnant, remember?" she nodded answering her own question.
"Uh huh," he nodded too remembering her feeling sick before it even dawned on them that she could be pregnant. "So, say around 4 weeks before the wedding...and the wedding was about a month and a half ago...we're looking at about 9, probably 10 weeks, no?" he figured out loud.
"Yep, that's what I thought…it sounds about right," she raised her eyebrows and smiled softly.
"Did you call the doctor yet?" he asked excitedly.
"Uh, no, Handsome, I thought it would be a good idea to share the news with my husband first..." she smirked.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right," he shook his head knowing he was not thinking clearly.
He looked down and picked up the pregnancy test again staring at those two incredible pink lines that just changed his life.
Jules smiled as she watched him. She loved the way his eyes sparkled from the excitement of her news. She smiled softly allowing her heart to swell and feel the intense love she felt for him. He startled her when he looked up suddenly and stared over at her.
"We're having another baby!" he yelled out loudly.
"Yes we are, Texas...yes we are," she reached over and wrapped her hand behind his head and brought his face to hers. "I love you so, so much, Cowboy, and you're right...we really can make it through anything...we proved it...we proved it again," she leaned in and kissed him.
Nick and Jules sat quietly on the bed in Room 710 kissing softly and slowly with insatiable desire combined with pure love and happiness that filled the room and enveloped them completely...
…right down to their souls.
