Whitley finally snapped out of her happy fairy-wonderland state "What did y’all do this evening while we parabbed on to Whitley as he said, "Suffered without our woht, drank a few beers, and watched football"

"Wow, sounds like a busy evening," Whitley said as she pushed Layton away and punched hih" Layton pulled Whit in and kissed her

They soon got lost in their kiss, and I had to look away I glanced up at Reed, and the passion in his eyes caused that familiar buildup deep in the pit of my stomach I wanted to feel him inside me so badly I needed to feel him inside me It was the only time I ever felt corabbed ed ht, y’all," he called out

Layton and Whitley both laughed

I turned and gave theaveI knew she was going to tell Layton, so I had to tell Reed tonight before he saw Layton toasp

"Oh my" I looked around the room in awe I hadn’t really paid attention to the roo it all in

It was beautiful, and every available countertop was covered in vases filled hite and red roses The smell in the roo in it I put ed into two paths on the floor

"Oh, Reed, this is so…it’s so…"

Reed walked up behind me and pulled h as I felt a tear slowly slide down my cheek "No, this is better"

Reed rested his chin on top ofbetter than Nick sorthy?"

I turned around and pulled his lips to ainst his lips, "Yes This is Reed sorthy Nothing is better than that"

Reed’s eyes lit up with passion, and he captured my lips with his The kiss started off slow and sweet, and then it quickly turned s buout of my mind, but I couldn’t do it I can’t do this I can’t pretend and go on like everything is okay I pulled back from Reed’s lips, placed my hands on his chest, and then barely pushed hi, baby?"

I took in a shaky breath and slowly let it out "Reed, I, u else"

He pulled back and sat up I sat up and pulled s into o, they had been filled with so much love, and now, they were filled with…concern

"Please tellmarried," he whispered

What? "No! Absolutely not I want nothing more than to marry you, Reed"

His body instantly relaxed

"I’ doubts I’ve never wanted so so much inmore than to crawl into the safety of his lap and just tell hi, but I knew if I touched him, I’d let him make love to me, and I really needed to tell him about the baby

"I feel the same way, Courtney I have to adel, please talk to me"

I closed my eyes, said a silent prayer, and just went for it "Okay, so you knoas going to have Whitley pee on one of the tests to play a joke on my mom?"
