Chapter 835 - Back to normal

Sarah and Aiden are in the bed, exchanging light kisses.

Aiden's hand is on her waist and he is thinking if he should move it under her top or not. What if she is not ready for more than kisses? They are at a point where hugging and kissing is OK, and he is very happy about that… but how about more than that? He is not sure… His hand moved slightly before settling back into its original position, reflecting uncertainty of his thoughts.

"Is something wrong?", Sarah noticed his reluctance.

Her question answered his… she IS ready for more. But how much more? He does not want to push it more than she is comfortable with and risk of her retreating back into 'stay-away' mode. It was painful to stay away from her. It's safe if he asks, but how can he ask…?

"You packed the suitcase. Did you pack… protection?" Aiden held his breath while waiting for her answer.

"No. It's safe now."

Her answer confirmed that she IS ready not just for a bit more, but for all the way. He was unable to control the smile which bloomed on his face. Finally, he gets to feel her… and he will take his time and make it slow.

He resumed kissing her on the neck toward the shoulders, how much her exposed skin allowed. His hand went under her top and landed on her waist. Aiden felt her smooth and warm skin and he trembled. Oh, how much he missed her!

He told himself that no matter how impatient he is, he needs to take his time, slowly… to make sure she is enjoying… and they don't need a condom because it's safe…

"Now what?", Sarah asked when she realized that Aiden stopped all his movements.

He lifted his head and looked into her eyes reluctantly. "You said that now is safe. What about… last time?"

Sarah pressed her lips into a line. She does not want to think about that night, but he has a point that should be clarified.

"Then… it was not safe. But that does not mean that I'm pregnant. Healthy couples take on average six months of trying before it happens."

His eyes widened. "So, you are saying… there is a possibility."

His shock told her that he is uncomfortable with that thought. Why is he making such a big deal out of it? She remembers that they talked about babies, and he said that they will be perfect. Did he change his mind now that actually it MIGHT be happening?

"There is always a possibility. No protection is 100% effective. Remember? Sophia got pregnant and she WAS on the pill."

"But… there is a higher possibility than if we are using the protection. Correct?" Aiden still wanted to clarify.

Sarah sighed. "Yes. Can we not talk about it? Even if I'm pregnant, it's too early to confirm."

"When can we, confirm?"

Sarah saw that he has no intention of changing the topic, so she explained: "My period is due in more than a week. If it's late, I will do a test."

Aiden listened to her while holding his breath.

His mind exploded. There is a chance that she is pregnant. Right now! Her oven might be baking a bun! His bun! That will be a perfect bun… a perfect baby… something that two of them created!

Sarah observed that Aiden is practically non-responsive. "Don't be like this… What is the worst that can happen? I'm pregnant? If that happens, we can discuss options. There is no point talking or thinking about it before we get a confirmation."

Aiden realized that Sarah assumed how he sees her pregnancy as a bad thing. "Why did you say that is THE WORST that can happen? How can you carrying my child be a bad thing? What options? I will be a proud father to our children."

Sarah told herself that she is overthinking it. Why are they even talking about this? "I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to say that if I'm not pregnant nothing changes. And if I am, things will change, but we don't know how that will impact us... How about we leave this topic for later? After I do the test, IF my period is late…"

Sarah pouted. "I thought we were in the middle of something…"

"In the middle? We barely... just... begun…" Aiden gave her few light kisses before stopping and observing her face.

"Now what?!", Sarah was getting frustrated with all the interruptions. She was about to ask him if he has any intention to proceed further or not.

Aiden can see that she is impatient and smiled. "I just realized… we never made love in this apartment."

"Oh…" Sarah likes very much that he called it 'making love' . "Then, we should make it special."

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his palms on her skin… letting him take the lead, because she knows that is how he likes it.

His kisses diligently covered every inch of her body… and she noticed that he gave extra attention to her belly, probably because he hopes that there is a baby inside, but she didn't mind. She was happy to know that in case she is pregnant, he will not leave her to shoulder anything by herself.

He was gentle, much gentler than any time before.

Their fingers interlaced and he broke the kiss to look into her eyes while he made his way inside her slowly.

Aiden was happy that he didn't see any pain or discomfort while her heat enveloped him. Her eyes were full of love and lust and there was not a trace of anything else. And he would not want it any other way.

…

It's dawn, and Aiden is cradling Sarah in his arms. She is sleeping peacefully. He knows that he should make use of this time and sleep as well, but he is too excited to sleep.

They spent the evening and most of the night cuddling between long sessions of love making. They exchanged sweet nothings, and everything is back to normal. Two of them are back to being one, and he can't be happier about it… oh, he can. There is a chance that Sarah might be pregnant! She told him more than once not to get his hopes up, but he can't help it.

Aiden placed his palms over her abdomen and kissed the back of her head.

The time is ticking away, and he is still not able to sleep. Luckily they don't have anything planned for next day, so he can take a nap if needed.
