"Will you make love to me?" I asked

Reed tilted my chin up and looked into my eyes "Yes…but only after we open presents"

He quickly kissed my lips, and then he reached around and slapped et your beautiful pregnant ass dressed and in front of the Christmas tree in five h as I watched o back to the kitchen I headed into the bathrooot dressed in my comfy sweatpants from Victoria’s Secret and one of Reed’s T-shirts As I started to walk out of the bedroom and toward the kitchen, I was stopped in my tracks

I leaned up against the wall and tried to settle

When he walked out of the kitchen, he stopped and looked at ? Are you okay, Court?"

I nodded my head and wiped away my tears "I’m more than okay I’m so more than okay"

Reed smiled as he held out his hand, and I placedrooifts and started to cry again

"Where? When? How did you get all this here?" I looked around and saing, a bassinet, a crib, a changing table, and an endless amount of presents under the tree

"It’s so beautiful I just don’t even have words for it What type of wood is it?"

The crib had a paneled backboard with thedetails carved on it The base and feet had curved eant but still si table is the saht like hell to control them I nodded my head and whispered, "I love it I love all of it"

I turned and looked into his eyes They were filled with tears as he sht in that ain, and I lost it and began crying Reed’s smile disappeared as he reached for me and pulled me over to him He sat down on the sofa, and I sat on his lap
