Free Meet Me In Alaska (BWWM Pregnancy Romance) by Tasha Jones Page A

You owe that much to him."
    I couldn't reply to her, and I could barely see her through my tears as she left the tiny hospital cubicle. I rolled onto my side away from the door, refusing to face the man that I was trying to run from.
    I heard the sound of his boots in the hallway and the hushed whispers of people passing by. I wanted to get up and run, but I knew I was too weak to get very far. He walked in and I could sense that he was right at the opposite side of my bed.
    "Doc? Please look at me."
    "Eric, please just go. I can't do this. I will not ruin your life. I don't expect anything from you. Just go back home to Melissa and let me go home."
    "Were you really just gonna run off and never tell me about the baby? Our baby?"
    "It is the only way. I don't want you to feel obligated to be with me. I want you to follow your heart and be happy."
    "My whole heart is lying right in this hospital bed. You've been so damn stubborn, refusing to hear me out! I'm not with Melissa!"
    "But I saw you outside my office kissing her. And your dad said she was always at the ranch. And you were kissing her again tonight at Mick's. That looks like together to me!" I was trying to stay calm, but the pregnancy hormones made it impossible to stop crying.
    "She cornered me both times, planning it just right so that you would see it. She heard that we were seeing each other and was crazy jealous. She's been trying to win me back, but I don't want her. She fooled me once but never again. I've been trying to tell you for weeks that all I want is you! How could anyone even compare to you, Doc?"
    "I don't know if I can stay. I'm so embarrassed. The whole town will know that I got pregnant by you when we weren't even together!"
    "I don't give a shit what they think. All I know is that I love you, and if you really go to Florida, I'll follow you there. I want to be a family with you. Please don't go, Doc."
    I saw his green eyes fill with tears, and I couldn't sit there and watch him for another second. I reached out to him, and he sat next to me, pulling me into his arms and kissing me. I touched him all over, memorizing every inch of him. Then he reached between us and placed his large hand over my tiny bump. I placed my hand over his and smiled, feeling for the first time that I wasn't alone.
    The doctor came in a short time later with a portable ultrasound machine. We saw our baby together for the first time, watching its tiny arms and legs moving on the screen.
    Once I was cleared to go home, Eric carried me to his truck and placed me inside. He drove me straight to my house, not letting me feet hit the ground. He laid me gently on my bed, took off all of my clothes, and kissed me from my mouth to the tips of my toes, only stopping to make sure I found my pleasure in between.
    I watched him remove his clothes and slide on top of me very carefully. I could sense that he was nervous about the baby, so I pulled him closer. I grabbed him and guided him slowly inside me. He moved in and out of me slowly, looking into my eyes and kissing me. I rocked my hips against him, feeling the heightened pleasure that my changing body brought me. He was everything I could ever want and more. And I was having his baby.
    We made love without words, but the connection was stronger than ever. As I felt the muscles in my body begin to tighten, I knew I was close to my second release. When it came on, I couldn't stop the words from flowing out of me.
    " Eric! Oh god! I love you so much!"
    I clenched myself tightly around him, and pushed in one last time before he joined me, professing his love as he came deep inside me.
    When it was over, he held me in his arms and let his hands rest on my growing belly.
    "I love you so much, Eric."
    "I love you and this little one. I hope you know I'm not letting you go anywhere. Let's send Melissa to Florida."
    I gave him a little jab with my elbow,  but I laughed along with him. I knew he was finally mine. I had found a family in a
