“Yeah, sometimes. But I can’t argue when you’ve given me everything I’ve ever wanted.”

My breath catches at the honesty in her words.

“Well, I do try my best,” I say cockily.

She falls quiet, and I wrap my arms around her, holding her tightly and embracing the moment with her.

It’s a turning point, a massive one in both of our lives.

Although, I don’t realize quite how big until she speaks again a few minutes later.

“King?” she whispers.

“Yeah, baby?”

“I’m pregnant.”

TATUM

Those two words linger in the air between us. And for a couple of seconds, I wonder if I actually said them out loud, because he doesn’t react.

But then, it’s like the words register in his head and his entire body tenses.

“Y-you’re…pregnant?” he asks as if he heard me wrong.

Squeezing my eyes closed, I pray that I haven’t just fucked everything up.

Maybe I should have kept it secret a little longer, until we’ve figured all this out at least.

But he deserves to know. I’ve already kept it a secret long enough.

“I freaked out. I didn’t?—”

“That’s why you ran,” he says on a breath, finally figuring it all out.

“King, I didn’t know?—”

“Look at me,” he demands.

I hesitate, unsure if I’m going to be able to look into his eyes without breaking down again.

“Tatum,” he warns when I don’t follow orders like a good girl.

“Kingston,” I start, but he’s not having any of it.

His fingers thread into my hair and he gently lifts my head, giving me little choice but to do as he asks.

My eyes are already full of tears by the time they find his, but what I see staring back at me forces them to spill over.

I don’t see any anger, frustration, or disbelief.

Just love and concern.

“You were worried about what I’d say?” he asks, studying me closely.

I shrug one shoulder. “Yeah.”
