Hadley's POV:
I was sitting at my desk finishing up some paperwork that needed to be turned into the office, only half concentrating because my mind kept drifting back to Chase. It seemed to be doing that a lot lately but I wasn't complaining because according to him, he thought about me with just as much frequency. It's been a few weeks -three to be exact- since Chase went back on the road. And to say I missed him was the understatement of the damn century. It amazes me that prior to us sleeping together and becoming a couple, I could go weeks at the time barely talking to him but now, if I have to go more than a few hours, I start to get panicky. Not that I thought Chase would ever cheat on me. He was too good of a person to do that. But that didn't mean that there wouldn't be women that tried to get him to take them to his bus or those dreaded paparazzi photos that always seemed to catch moments in the worst angels, making things look ten times worse than what they really were. And that's when the photos hadn't been doctored.

Lucily, we hadn't had to deal with any of those types of photos yet but it was just a matter of time. Those damn paparazzi were always looking to see who the lucky woman was in his life since he liked to keep his private life separate from his career so he'd had to be extra careful since we had not gone public with our relationship yet. Not that we didn't want to. Honestly, I would stand on top of One World Trade Center and scream how much I loved Chase so that all the world knew that he was mine. But it was just nice to have this little escape, just the two of us and our closest family and friends knowing what we were to each other. Neither of us were ready to give that up yet.

"Hey Hads. you have a visitor up at the front office." said Darla, one of my coworkers and the kindergarten teacher in the room next to me.

"Who is it?" I asked, truly curious who would be visiting me here at my job. If it had been either of my parents, they would have just come down to the classroom since it was after school hours. Same with any of my students' parents.

"Miss Dot didn't say. Just said that you had a visitor and that if I was coming this way, to let you know. Something the phone lines being down or something." said Darla.

"Okay." I said, stacking my papers and standing from my desk. Grabbing my sweater off the back of my chair, I threw it on to break the chill that I knew would be in the halls since maintenance always aired the building out after school to help the fumes from the cleaning supplies exit the building.

As I neared the office, I didn't see anyone there with Miss Dot. Maybe whoever it was that wanted to see me decided that they didn't need to see me after all. But since I was up here, it was a good time to check my mailbox since I hadn't been up here all day other than when I clocked in this morning.

"Hey Miss Dot. Darla said I had a visitor?" I said as I strolled into the office, heading straight for my mailbox.

"Sure do," said a male voice that sent a shiver down my spine, but in the most delicious of ways. Turning fast, I saw Chase sitting in one of the chairs in the office. Before I even realized I was moving, I felt his arms wrap around me, lifting me off my feet and spinning me in a slow circle just as his lips landed on mine. He tasted of mint and Chase -my favorite combination. Breaking the kiss, I rested my forehead against his. "What are you doing here? I thought you had a show in West Virginia tonight."

"I do," he said softly. "But it's only 3 hours away and I couldn't resist the chance to see my favorite girl and my little peanut. Plus, Kane has promised to cover for me if I end up being a little late."

"Well thank god for Kane." I said, realizing that we were still standing in the office. Wigging so I could get down, I slid down his body and laced my fingers with his when my feet hit the floor.

"Are you done for the day? I have about an hour to spend with you before I have to get on the road." said Chase.

"She's done now," said Miss Dot with a smile on her face. "You two get out of here. Oh and son, I'm glad to see that you two finally came to your senses. I knew years ago that you two would end up together." Miss Dot had been the receptionist at the elementary school since Chase and I had been kids here nearly thirty years ago. Miraculously, she remembered almost every single student that passed through the front doors.

"I'm glad we did too." I said, turning my head up towards Chase and giving him a loving smile. Damn, I loved that man with all my heart.

"Now go on. Get." said Miss Dot, waving her hands in a shooing motion. "I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning Ms. Sawyer."

"I need to grab my purse and lock up my classroom. Want to walk with me?" I said looking up at Chase.

"Of course," he said with a smile.

"My Jeep's in the back lot so I'll just slip out the back Miss Dot. See you tomorrow." I said before Chase and I turned to walk out of the office and towards my classroom.

Once out in the hallway, I wrapped my arms around his waist and snuggled into his side as we walked the hall that led to my classroom, all the while thinking about how he and I could spend the hour we had together. I knew what I wanted to do and was pretty sure that he did too. All I had to do was get my purse and as long as we made it to my jeep, it would be game on.

Chase's POV:
With only an hour to spend with Hadley, I wanted to make the most of my time. And if that meant that I was about to rock her world in her classroom, in the tree house that was just begging to be rocked, then so be it. I was too amped up to wait.

Not wanting to give her the chance to deny me this, I stalked towards her, my intentions clear. My hands landed on her face, cupping her cheeks and my lips landed on hers, kissing her roughly. Hadley must have been sitting on go just like me because her mouth opened, letting me slip my tongue into her mouth, allowing it to tangle with hers. Her nails dug into the tender skin on my back, spurring me on. Bending at the knees, I hooked an arm just below her ass and lifted her. Her legs immediately went around my waist, pressing her core against the bulge in my jeans.

Walking us towards the makeshift tree house, I climbed the stairs that led up to the platform, lowering her onto the floor when I reached the top. I felt Hadley's hands snaking between us, going for the button of my jeans. The feel of her hands on me had me moaning in delight, and rubbing my rock hard cock against her core. Even though my jeans and the thin material of her leggings, I could feel her core scorching my skin. Anxious to have her, I roughly grabbed the hem of her leggings and tugged them down her legs in one quick motion. Hadley was just as anxious because she flicked the button on my jeans expertly before sliding her hands into the waistband of my boxers. Her warm hands on my raging cock made my eyes cross and my hips thrust involuntarily.

"Need you Chase." she moaned as her hand slid from the root of my cock to the tip, her wrist flicking when she reached the end.

"Hold on baby, this is going to be quick." I said through clenched teeth.

Lifting her legs over my shoulders, I aligned myself with her opening and slammed into her in one hard thrust. The action made me see stars. God, how had I gone three weeks without this.

"More baby. I need more." said Hadley as she wiggled beneath me.

Anchoring my hands to the floor on either side of her head, I began to drive into her, chasing the release that I so desperately craved. Already, I could feel the base of my spine tingling and her walls clamping down on me. When her walls clenched around my cock in an effort to hold me deep inside her, I felt the first tremor of my release hit me, causing my muscles to spasm and me to slam into her. Hadley was right there with me.

My bus was parked in the Food Lion parking lot, her jeep alongside it as she and I sat on the couch, enjoying the last few minutes we had together. She had her head laid in my lap as I let my hand softly rub the almost indiscernible bump. At only a couple months along, she wasn't showing to most people but because I knew her body like the back of my hand, I was well aware of the little bump that was growing every day.

"Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" said Haldey softly.

"Doesn't matter either way baby." I said

"Doesn't matter to me either." she said, rolling to her back and looking up at me with a gentle smile on her face. "You know, you and I wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the almost maybes."

"Been listening to Jordan Davis?" I said giving her the side eye, trying to look like I was jealous that she was listening to someone else's music but mine, but the smile that tore at my lips told her that I was simply playing.

"Well, there were all those women that you thought would be your happily ever after. Same with me for the men that I dated that you didn't scare off. Each of them taught us something and led us to where we are today. So yeah, I wouldn't be sitting here next to you if it weren't for the almost maybes."

Hearing her say those words, I knew that finally, my life was turning out just like it had meant to. I had a woman that I loved with all my heart, a baby on the way, a career that was going to be a challenge with a relationship and a kid. But I wouldn't trade a single damn thing. Funny how your life just falls into place when you least expect it. Sometimes it is a little push you need, which had been the case for me and Hads but in the end, it would all be worth it.
