TANNER*

What the fuck did she just say?! I must be dreaming or something. This can’t be real. Only a few hours ago, I had thought I was ready to create a family of my own, but…

“Can I lie down for a minute?” 

The thoughts I just thought came crashing into me once more. I’m not sure I heard her right. I’ve got to be imagining things. Kaysen, being pregnant with twins, can’t be real. She is trying to pull one over on me. Maybe she was trying to see how I would react to a situation like this. I just needed to breathe for a minute before I passed out.

“Here, lay down, and I’ll get you some water,” Kaysen said as she gave me a pillow and walked off.

I laid there and did the breathing exercises my therapist had taught me and hoped when I opened my eyes; I would wake up in my bed. This was all too much for me. Could I be a father? What kind of father would I make? Can I handle this? Fuck!

I heard Kaysen set a cup down on the nightstand, and then the bed dipped down, and I knew this wasn’t a dream. I had to tread softly here, but I did not know how to deal with this situation. 

Kaysen said she wanted to start over and go slow with dating and getting to know each other; but isn’t getting married the right thing to do, since she’s pregnant? I needed to make an honest woman out of her. There’s no way she’s having my babies out of wedlock. Aw, fuck! I’ve seriously fucked up in massive proportions. What the hell do I do?

“Are you ok, Tanner? If it makes you feel any better, I had the same reaction today when I found out.” 

She found out today and didn’t tell me? Now I know why she was fidgeting in her seat. I can’t be angry. It’s my fault we’re in this situation. I’m a fucking idiot.

“I; I’ll be fine. Just give me a minute to think.” 

“Ok,” Kaysen said as she laid next to me and laid her head on my chest.

“So maybe we could get a place together? I’ll need to talk to my cousin Blaze and my brother Jace about maybe building us a house. But we could rent for a while until then. I have loads of money, so that won’t be an issue. You and Cora could stay with me. I don’t know what the next step should be; I’ve never been in a situation like this, but I’m glad it’s with you,” I said as I thought out loud.

“I meant what I said before, Tanner. I want us to date and get to know each other.” She then ran her fingertips under my shirt and up to my chest, saying she didn’t want to rush things with us.

I was trying so hard to keep from getting an erection; that’s what got Kaysen and me in this mess, to begin with. Kaysen was making it hard to keep a level head.

“We’re having twins together; I feel like we need to be more. Like maybe we should get married. We should at least live together, Kaysen,” I said as I kept trying to breathe in and out evenly.

“Tanner, you don’t have to do this, you know. Although I didn’t want to tell you, I felt it was necessary. I don’t want you doing anything you don’t want to do. I’m not trying to trap you; my birth control failed. I can do this on my own. I’m giving you an out,” Kaysen said, and I went to sit up and rolled her over so that she was on her back.

Looking deep into her vibrant sky-blue eyes, I cradled her head. “I don’t want an out Kaysen; I want you. If you will allow me and if Cora desires it, I hope to be her father someday, as well as the father of our babies. I’m sorry I was such an asshole and left you hanging, but I’m here now, and I’ll never leave you again,” I pleaded.

Kaysen put her hands through my hair and smiled. “I want you, Tanner, but I still want to take this slow. My next appointment is in two weeks. I would like for you to come if you can.” 

“Yes, of course, I’m here for you, whatever you need. Let me know the date and the time, and I’ll be there. I’ll work in the office that day and not out in the field,” I said as I kissed Kaysen’s forehead.

“What is it you do, Tanner?” Kaysen asked as I turned her to the left and spooned her.

“I’m CFO of Cunningham Construction and Landscaping. I’ve invested in several of the companies we have built here in the city, and I’ve done well for myself.” After running my fingers through her hair, I said, “I work out in the field mostly, but now that I have you, I’ll be spending more time in the office.”

“You’re Tanner Cunnigham; I’ve heard of you. I just never paid attention. My mother will most likely love you to death. She has a few friends that you guys have built houses for, and she keeps pressuring my dad for an upgrade even though they have lived in this house since before I was born,” Kaysen said and chuckled.

“How old are you, Kaysen?” I asked her. I figured she was at least twenty-five, but I couldn’t tell.

“I’ll be turning twenty-two in March,” Kaysen said. Wow, she’s so much younger than I thought she was. I have ten years on her.

“I’m ten years older than you; I hope you don’t mind. Next month, I’ll be turning thirty-one,” I mentioned.

“Age is just a number; it doesn’t bother me at all; I thought you were younger than that if that makes you feel any better,” Kaysen whispered; I was sure she was about to fall asleep.

“Kaysen, would you like for me to leave?” I asked.

“No, I need you to touch me, Tanner, I need you, please,” Kaysen said as she ground her ass into my cock.

“I thought you said no sex. Are you sure?” I asked.

“Don’t listen to me. I’m hormonal; I need you, Tanner; please, we have to be silent, though.”

We both sat up, and I pulled Kaysen’s nightgown over her head to see that she was completely naked underneath, and I growled in appreciation. Kaysen dragged my t-shirt off and got to work on taking my pants off, and threw them to the floor.

She ran her fingertips along my corded muscles down to my underwear and drug them down my legs and my cock sprung to attention. She lapped up the pre-cum that had dripped from me as if she liked a lollipop and then took me into her mouth. Kaysen stroked my cock as she took me to the back of her throat. She gagged but adjusted her tongue to take me further; it felt exquisite. When Kaysen caressed my balls, I almost shot my load into her mouth. She stared up at me with those hypnotizing sky-blue eyes of hers, and my heart pounded.

I fisted her and took control of her pace, and she let me. When I felt the familiar tingling behind my balls, I pulled her mouth from me.

“We keep on like this, and I’ll cum in your mouth; I’d rather fill your pussy up. Lay down, gorgeous,” I said as I grabbed Kaysen and laid her down on the bed.

I took Kaysen’s lips to mine and caressed her bud with my fingertips, her juices coating them in a matter of moments, and Kaysen wiggled around below me.

“Please, Tanner, fill me up,” Kaysen begged.

I pushed my way into her slowly as I kissed her, her pussy molding around me perfectly, and moved inside her. I held myself up so as not to put too much weight on top of her and, for the first time, made love to Kaysen. Slow and steady, I rocked within her, and she bucked her hips to meet each thrust.

It wasn’t long before I felt her tightening around me, and I knew Kaysen was about to cum.

“Cum for me, baby,” I whispered into Kaysen’s ear and then swallowed her screams of passion as I crashed my lips to hers and erupted deep inside her. She held me within her for a few minutes until she rode out her orgasm, and my cock fell from her pussy.

“I have some wet ones over there that we could use to clean up,” Kaysen said as she pointed to the floor by the rocking chair.

I went over and quickly picked up the wet wipes and took them to Kaysen. She opened them and handed one over to me, and I cleaned her before cleaning myself.

“I could do that myself, you know,” Kaysen said with a smile.

“I know, but I love doing it for you,” I said with a grin.

“Well, at least we know that no matter what, sex will always be phenomenal. Never leave me again, Tanner; I missed you something awful,” Kaysen said and ran her hands through my hair as I laid my head on her belly.

I can’t wait until her belly swells and the babies move inside her. I’ll need to purchase her one of those high-tech baby heartbeat monitors. Until now, I have never desired to live with anyone. Bailey and I had never even lived together, and we were together for nine years. I don’t want to miss a thing. I want to be there for Kaysen’s entire pregnancy, and I want to be there when she brings them home. Karma is probably going to whoop my ass and give me girls, but I’ll love them and spoil them and Cora in a way that Kaysen will constantly tell me to chill. I guess we will have to wait and see.

“What do you think they will be?” I asked Kaysen as I held her close to me and closed my eyes that rested on her belly.

“I don’t have a preference, just that they arrive healthy. Do twins run in your family?” Kaysen asked.

“Yes, sorry. Twins run on my dad’s side of the family. My dad is a twin, and my cousin Blaze and his wife had twins. Blaze’s dad is my dad’s twin brother. I guess this makes sense. However, my brother has had three babies and has had no twins. Twins typically show up in every other generation on my dad’s side, but I guess something has changed. You should meet all of my nieces and nephews sometime,” I said.

“Cora might end up walking in. We should get dressed,” Kaysen said.

“I meant what I said. I want us to move in together. Let me take care of you and Cora. I have more than enough money to get us by. I don’t want to miss a single moment of you being pregnant,” I said as I got up and started getting dressed.

“You need to meet Cora first. My parents haven’t even met you yet, Tanner. I haven’t told them I’m pregnant either. I need a little time for that. Let’s give it a couple of months, then go from there, ok,” Kaysen said.

“Ok, that sounds fair. Sorry, believe it or not, I’m excited about you being pregnant. I thought I might pass out at first, but you and these babies are the best things to happen to me,” I said and crawled onto the bed and put my head back on Kaysen’s belly.

“Mommy, bad dream, cuddles,” Cora said as she walked into the room, whimpering.
