Missy POVI know that Barry was lying to me. I know he was, but with the weird funk I had been in before he showed up and my doubts about certain things, his words brought all those insecurities back to the front of my mind. I feel over emotional and just…off. I didn’t want to risk being around Adrian and his family while in this kind of mood. I really didn’t want Hailey to see us fight like we did in the past. I didn’t trust myself in my current mood to not pick a fight again with Adrian by being unreasonable and insecure. I’m making myself a cup of chamomile tea after feeding the kitten when I hear tires rolling against the gravel on my driveway. My heart contracts in my chest, thinking it might be Adrian, but then Brittany’s car clears the trees and I breathe a sigh of relief. I didn’t have my thoughts or emotions under control enough to brave facing him yet. I’m embarrassed. I’m so embarrassed that my ex is causing issues and thoughts of doubt to fill my mind. I’m more ratio

Adrian POV“Daddy, why was Miss Missy sad?” Hailey asks me, cuddled up on my chest as I lay on the couch. I put on a princess show for her, but neither of us are watching it. Seems her mind is where my mind is right now too. I smiled sadly at her, running my fingers through her hair. “I’m not sure, baby.”Gawd, I wish I knew what was eating at Missy. I could sense she had been off the past few days, and I guess that asshole showing up just pushed her too far. I just don’t know why she was avoiding me. Fridays are the days I always get off early to go get Hailey before we meet at the diner. I was hoping today to use the time to hang out with both my girls before we go to meet my sister and dad, but I guess that’s not going to happen. I checked my phone again, seeing if Brittany even texted me back. I sent her a message soon after she left, but she just sent me back an emoji to flip me off and has ignored me ever since. One more. I’m just going to send her one more text. ME:| Is

Missy POV“I didn’t even know I had this dress. Where did you find it?” I asked Britt. “In your closet,” she laughs. “Don’t lie. I have never bought any dress like this, Brittany.”The dress was skin tight and was made to accent your breasts and hips. The fabric bunched up on one side, making the dress appear to have a slight slit as it rose on that side. I know once it's on my body, it is going to be dangerously close to my nether regions. “Okay, so, I may have bought this for myself, but I think you need it more right now. If you are trying to get in my brother’s pants, this will do the trick. That perv won’t be able to resist you.”“I can’t wear that to the diner where there are families and children. What kind of example is that setting for Hailey?” I asked, making a face at the offensive dress. “Okay girl, I love how motherly you already are to Hailey, but don’t be raising her to be a nun or something. This isn’t that bad. Yeah, it’s kind of tight, but once you get it on, you

“I like this dress,” Adrian says for the twentieth time, his fingers skimming along my flesh that meets the hem of it. “You said that,” I smirked over to him. “I mean, I really, really like this dress,” his fingers ventured a little further north, just underneath the hem. I bite my lip and my thighs tense with excitement. I missed this side of Adrian. The side of him that makes me feel desired and wanted. I felt like he had been disinterested in my body for the past week. When Barry said the crap he did about Monica, it brought out this raw jealousy in me, and those feelings of self-doubt. Now, with the way Adrian has been staring at my thighs, my chest and my body, I feel appreciated on a whole different level. I loved the caring, patient side of him, but I like normal, rude and crude Adrian best. We are driving back in his truck to my house to “talk”. Brittany made a big show of having an aunt and niece sleepover with Hailey, emphasizing to us over and over again that we had t

Missy POVI wanted the passion back, and boy did I get it. I’m sore and throbbing in places I never even imagined. I hated the time our bodies spent apart, but man, did that week we spent not having sex sure cause a build up that just errupted in both of us. “Okay, sweetie. I’m glad you and Aunt Britt are having fun….Yes, I can’t wait to see your pretty nails when I get home tomorrow….Okay. I love you too. Night night, baby girl,” Adrian says sweetly into the phone. He called to tell Hailey goodnight. I’m lying on his chest, fangirling over how awesome of a father he is.He smirks down at me, hanging up his phone and setting it on my nightstand.“I’m the sweetest, aren’t I?”I giggle, “You are super humble as well.”“The total package,” he chuckles, kissing my head.“You really are,” I laughed.His laugh fades and he gives me a somber look. “I don’t feel like it all the time. I talk a big game, but it scares me thinking one day you will realize how much better you could do. A roughne

Missy POV“We will be back later, babe,” Adrian came up from behind me, moving my hair to the side and kissing my neck, making my head lull to his chest and my eyes to close as I moaned in contentment.“I love you,” he whispers in my ear.I looked back and smiled, “I love you too.”“Mmh,” he bites his lip lustfully, “I never get tired of hearing you say that.”I bopped him on the nose with my soap-covered dish sponge. “I love you, I love you, I love you. Now go. Hailey is going to be late for pre-k and you’re going to be late too.”Adrian and his dad got a big contract to repair and restore an old inn. They had to hire on a few more workers to help with the restoration and Adrian is supposed to be at the job site before they show up.“I can be late,” Adrian grumbles, going back to kiss my neck after wiping his soapy nose on my cheek.“Daddy, I’m ready!” Hailey chose that moment to come running in from the hall. I sent her to go brush her teeth after breakfast.Adrian groans and rests

Adrian POV“You’re pregnant,” the doctor tells Missy, smiling at her from over the chart in her hands. “If you want to follow me, I’ll get you set up in the ultrasound room, so we can get a good view and get a heartbeat.”“I’m really pregnant?” Missy asked in disbelief. The doctor grins warmly at her, “Yes, Mrs. Brewer. You are really pregnant.”Mrs. Brewer. Gawd, I love the sound of that. “Wow,” Missy bites her lip nervously. Guilt eats at me seeing her anxious expression. I may be ecstatic, but this clearly caught Missy by surprise. I don’t know how or why. We make love daily and I’ve not once used a condom. I thought she was okay with this possibility, but maybe we should have talked about it.“You okay, babe?” I asked her, gripping her hand in mine as we followed the doctor.She turns her worried stare up at me. “It’s just a lot to take in.”My good mood falters, seeing the fear in her eyes.“Um, I’m happy about this, Missy. Aren’t you?”She offers me a small smile, but it do

Missy POVThe following week and a half went by in a flash. Knowing I was expecting came with a roller coaster of emotions. I would be excited with Adrian one minute, and then he would leave for work, and I’d be left alone with my thoughts, then fall into a fit of depression again. I miss my mom, more than ever, and all I want is for her to be here to tell me it was all going to be okay and that I could do this. I even find myself missing my dad. Yeah, he sucked at times. Well, most of the time, but he was still my dad. I'm bringing a baby into this world, becoming a parent when I don't have parents of my own.I’m not alone anymore, though. Adrian’s family has become my family, more than ever before. Rick wants me to start coming to work for him and Adrian to keep me busy in a place where I am not alone for long periods of time. It was originally Brittany’s suggestion, since she was the first one to notice how emotional I’ve been getting when I’m alone, but now that the idea is in
