The Endless Road: A Biker Erotic Romance (Black Death MC) (3 page)

"Logan, I have to tell you something.  And please know, that no matter how you feel, I won't be angry."  He took a deep breath, preparing for the worst, but not even knowing what the worst was in this situation.

"I have...I am..."  She started and stopped, as if searching for the right words.  He felt her tremors through the cushions.  "I'm pregnant."

His whole world spun and then tipped.  His head swam and he couldn't grasp reality for a second.  "What?"

"I'm pregnant," she said, stronger this time.  "With your baby.  I'm carrying your...our...baby."

He wanted to cry, to scream, to explode, but instead settled for, "How long?"

"After you were released from the hospital.  It's hard to pinpoint an exact date, but sometime following that."  She paused.  "How do you...you’re not..."

He interrupted.  "Are you kidding me?  This is, by far, the best news I've ever gotten!  Lina, we made a child.  Together, in love.  Are you serious?  I'm overjoyed!"

He stood and pulled her to him.  He lifted her until their faces were even.  He imagined he was looking deep into her eyes.  "I love you.  And I will love this baby until my dying day.  And probably beyond that."

He heard her sniff.  "I love you, too."

He hugged her close and let her feet drop to the ground.  Placing his cheek on top of her soft hair.  "I can't believe you thought I'd be angry."

She laughed tearfully.  "Well, I didn't think you'd be this happy, that's for sure!  You're sure this is what you want?  Because I didn't mean to make you feel trapped.  I know this isn't what you would have wanted right now."

"I’ve never considered myself to be good enough to have children, but I do know that this child will want for nothing, including love.  And he will have the best mommy I have ever had the pleasure to meet!"

Six months later, at a regular checkup, they found out they were having a boy.  Lina could never have imagined how happy she would be at this moment.  She had everything she could want.  Even Logan had seemed to find his stride with his disability.  It wasn't easy every day, but there were moments that everything felt normal.

Walking out of the hospital, they heard a "Look out!"

Lina caught sight of a football spiraling towards them and before she could do or say anything, Logan tugged her over onto the sidewalk.  The ball fell harmlessly on the opposite side.

Adrenaline rushing, Lina looked at Logan wide-eyed.

"Logan?"  She asked hesitantly.

"I...I..."  He seemed just as confused as she.  "I saw a shadow.  Not much, but I saw it coming.  I know I did."

Her heart beating, she pulled him back inside the hospital.  They saw a doctor who said that his pupils were reacting and that shadows and shapes were often the first sign of returning vision.  After a multitude of tests, over in the course of a couple hours, he continued to see more and more clearly.

By the time they got home from the hospital, he could see full shapes.  The shapes were blurry and dark, but they were both ecstatic.  They ate and went up to bed, enjoying the newness of his independence and strength.

In the morning, she opened her eyes to find her husband gazing deep into her eyes.  She teared up instantly.

"Hey stranger," she whispered.

"Even if this goes away tomorrow, I will always remember this moment.  I will never take it for granted again," he vowed.  He reached up and fingered a strand of her hair.  "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

He placed his hands over her round tummy.  "And you are the most handsome."

One year later, they both watched their toddler as he attempted to scoot across the floor, sucking on his toy giraffe.

Lina looked up at her husband, and thought, “You are a lucky, lucky girl, Paulina Black.”
