Eric's POV

"Really?" I ask with baited breath.

She shakes her head yes and the tears begin to fall. I don't know what to think. I have never thought about this. It scares the hell out of me, and I know it does her too. Why would she be crying otherwise?

"You hate me, don't you?"

I lift her chin to look at me. Her eyes are red from crying. It breaks my heart to see her like this.

"Love, I would never hate you. I never would have thought of myself as a father. I never really wanted it before. It scares me and I don't know how good of a dad I can be. This, with you, feels like the best thing in the world. We will take it one day at a time. I may screw up more times than not, but I am going to be there with you every step of the way."

She looks at me and I see the sparkle come back in her eyes and a smile creeps across her face.

"Are you sure? I thought that you wouldn't want a baby."

I pull her into me and place my hand on her belly.

"Never thought I did. I didn't have the greatest of childhoods, but now that you have told me and the more I think about it, the more I want it."

"I love you so much."

"I love you too, so much. We've got this, together."

"Together."

I lean down and place my lips to hers. She reaches up and threads her fingers through my hair. I love this woman with all my heart and soul, and now she is going to be the mother of my child. Wow, I'm going to be a dad. Am I ready for this? I guess I need to get ready. It's going to happen whether I want it to or not. She quickly moves to straddle my lap as she presses herself against me. I slide my hand under her shirt and massage her breast. She hisses in return.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I lift her shirt, placing kisses to her breast to soothe the pain. Slowly pulling the lace down. Running my tongue around the nipple, her head lulls back as she moans and she grinds her center against my hardening length. I run my hand down her waist across her hips to her panties. Sliding down further, pulling them to the side, I slide two fingers between her lips and they are soaked. I slide them in her as my thumb finds her clit. She leans up and crashes her lips to mine. Our tongues fought for dominance. The kiss is deep, filled with passion and I can't get enough. Her lips travel down my jaw to my neck as she sucks on my earlobe. My fingers have not left her warmth as I curl them up to brush against her sensitive spot. Her moans become louder as I feel her wall tighten around my fingers, and her juices coat my hand as she cums. I bring fingers to my lips as I suck them clean. She is still as sweet as ever.

"Please, make love to me."

I can't deny her. I slowly undress her and lay her back on the couch as I undress myself. I lay down between her legs as I line up with her entrance, slowly pushing in. I still for a moment before I begin to move. She feels so good wrapped around me. I am home and never want to leave. Slowly thrusting in and out, I kiss her lips, her neck across her collarbone. I lean down and suck in a nipple as I carefully run my tongue around it knowing she is super sensitive.

"Oh yes, Eric! Mmmm."

"You feel so good wrapped around my cock."

Slowly in and out, I make love to her. Her legs wrap around me and her heels dig into my backside trying to get me deeper. I soon feel her walls tighten around me as she arches against me. I am not going to last much longer as she squeezes me tight.

"I feel you, baby. Let it go. Cum with me!"

Her nails dig into my back as she comes around my length. Soon after I am spilling inside her and I nuzzle into her neck as we try to catch our breaths.

"I am so happy right now. I am going to be a dad!"

"Are you really?"

"I am scared to death but yes, I am happy."
"I am happy too."

"Have you made an appointment?"

"No, I haven't. I will call tomorrow."

"I want to come with you."

"Okay, I will let you know."

I smile as I kiss her nose and get up to get dressed, as she pulls on her clothes. Just as we get dressed we hear a knock at the door.

"Are you expecting anyone?"

"No, are you?" I get up to go answer the door and in walks Matt and Kyle.

"Hey guys, just stopping by to see how Amanda is doing. Matt says as he sits down beside her and pulls her into a side hug.

"I am wonderful, actually."

"Have you told him?" he asks.

"Yes, I did."

"Smells like he was happy you told him." Kyle says with a laugh.

"What?" she asks with a blush to her cheeks.

"Smells like sex." Matt says with a smirk.

"Hahahaha! Yes, she told me. I couldn't be any happier."

"I am so glad. She was so worried."

"So you knew first?" I look over to her and she is blushing again.

"He was the one who noticed first. I was scared and he was the one to make me take the tests."

"It's okay love. I am glad you have someone else to talk to."

Matt and Kyle give us hugs and we all sit down. Both of them have huge smiles on their faces and I just have to know.

"So what's with the sit eating grins?"

They both look at each other and Kyle holds out his hand, showing us the beautiful ring on his finger.

"I finally asked him to marry me."

"I said yes!"

"Congratulations, guys." She says as she jumps up and hugs them both.

"Congrats, buddies." I say hugging them also.

"You guys staying for dinner." she asks.

"You two need to be alone." Kyle says with a smile.

"Nonsense, we all need to celebrate." I order take out and soon it arrives. We all dig in and talk about weddings and babies all evening. Finally things are going right for us.

Amanda's POV

I made our first baby appointment and today is the day. Eric came to the office to pick me up and we are heading into the doctor's office.

"Are you nervous?" Eric asks.

"Yes, how about you?"

"Very much so."

We go in and sign in at the desk. We sit down in the waiting room and about thirty minutes later they are calling us back. I grab Eric's hand and we go back. The nurse asks some questions and tells us the doctor will be in soon.

"Good afternoon, Miss Stevens. How are we feeling today?" Dr. Adams asks.

"I am doing okay. I have really bad morning sickness though."

"I am so sorry. Well, we need to get some tests out of the way and I will go get the ultrasound machine so we can meet your baby."

She leaves and the nurse comes in and takes some blood and gives me a cup to pee in. I go out to the bathroom and leave the cup when I'm done. Soon the doctor comes back in.

"While we are waiting, let's get you up on the table and see what we have."

I get up on the table and Eric comes to stand next to me. I pull up my top and lower my pants some. She puts the gel on my belly and I wince from the cold.

"Sorry about that. I should have warned you first."

"It's okay."

"So I will move this wand around and there we are. So I assume the handsome man next to you is the father?"

"Yes, I am."

I look over to him and he is smiling from ear to ear.

"That's good. Ah, here we are. Looks like you are about eight weeks. Would you like to see?"

She turns the monitor and we see the baby, such a tiny thing that looks like a little bug. Then there is a whooshing sound.

"What is that noise?" Eric asks.

"That would be your baby's heartbeat."

We both look at each other and Eric has tears running down his face and I start to cry. He leans down and places a soft kiss to my lips.

"That is the most beautiful sound I ever heard." He says as he brushes away my tears with his thumb.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Well, everything looks great. I am going to go grab your test results and be back in a minute. You can get down now." The doctor leaves the room and I wipe my belly down. Eric gets down on his knees and kisses my belly.

"Little bug, it is so wonderful to meet you. I am your daddy. I was scared at first but now that I heard your heartbeat, I can't wait to meet you. I love you already and I will protect you with my life."

I lean down and kiss his lips.

"See, you already are a great dad."

The doctor comes back in and sits with us to discuss my lab work.

"Everything looks great. You are a little anemic though, so I am going to prescribe some iron pills and also take your prenatal vitamins. I want you to come back in six weeks. I took some pictures and they will be up front for you when you schedule your appointment. It was great to meet you and see you next time."

She leaves and we head up front to schedule our next appointment and collect our pictures. We then head back home. Eric goes to prepare dinner and tells me to sit down. Once it is finished he calls me into the kitchen and brings our plates over. We sat and talked about this afternoon and all our fears. We have got this and I know we will have so much support when we finally tell everyone. We have decided to wait till after our next appointment. I am worried about telling my dad. I hope he is not mad at me. After we finish our meal, my phone rings and I look at my caller ID and laugh.

"You just couldn't wait."

"No, now tell me. Am I really going to be an uncle?" Matt asks.

"Yes, it is true. I am about eight weeks. The doctor says that everything is looking great except that I am a little anemic."

"That's wonderful. What did she do for the anemia?"

"She gave me some iron pills."

"That's something you will need to watch, bunny."

"I will. We have another appointment in six weeks."

"That's great. Well, I gotta go. See you at work tomorrow. Love you!"

"Love you too, Matty."

"So uncle Matty?" Eric asks as he sits next to me.

"Yeah, he was just checking up on me."

"Haha, he is so nosy sometimes."

"Yeah, but we love him."

"True, how about a movie tonight?"

"Definitely."

After we clean up, we head into the living room and Eric picks out a Netflix movie. I cuddle into his side and I don't even get halfway through before I am fast asleep.
