She stopped and kissed Josh on the cheek. “Happy birthday, Josh!” She turned and took the steps two at a time to head into the house.

Gunner walked up and slapped Josh on the back. “Happy birthday, dude. Sounds like you made Heather one happy girl yesterday,” he said with a smile.

Josh laughed and looked at me. “Yeah, well, she’s made me pretty damn happy as well.”

I watched as Ari and the girls stood off to the side, talking and laughing with each other.

Damn that girl. Everything about her turned me on.

She glanced over at me and smiled. She was having a blast. Josh’s dad had set up a huge dance floor, and the girls were taking advantage of it. They were all having a good time without any babies around.

I watched as Ari walked over to Jack.

Ah shit. It was never a good sign when she would request a song.

She practically skipped over to me and reached out her hand for mine. When I took her hand, I instantly felt that familiar shock run through my body.

“Twirl my ass around on the dance floor!” she said with an evil smile.

I grabbed her, picked her up, and carried her out onto the dance floor. Just as I was letting her body slide oh-so-slowly down mine, “Two of a Kind, Workin’ on a Full House” by Garth Brooks started playing.

I laughed. “Did you request this song?”

She smiled, and we took off two-stepping. As the song played, she was only singing the same damn line, not the other lines in the song.

“Workin’ on a full house,” she sang softly.

I pulled away and looked at her. The moment her eyes met mine, I knew. Holy shit. “Baby…you’re pregnant?” I silently hoped I wasn’t reading this wrong.

When she gave me a big smile, I saw that glow on her cheeks. Then, I thought about last night and how she couldn’t get enough of me.

She slowly nodded.

“We’re having a baby?”

“Yep. I took a home test yesterday at my parents’ house. I made an appointment for us next week!” she said as she placed her hand on the side of my face.

I put my hand over hers, and then I pulled her to me and kissed her. The small moans coming from her were driving me mad. I leaned away and looked around. I grabbed her hand and started walking toward Josh. He was sitting at the bar by the pool, talking to a few people. Ah shit. Victoria was one of them.

“Josh, something’s come up, and Ari and I need to leave, dude. I’m sorry, but we’ll see you tomorrow night.”

Josh got up. He kissed Ari on the cheek and then held out his hand for me. “Sure, I hope everything is okay?” he asked as he glanced at Ari.

She looked confused as hell.

I gave his hand a quick slap. “Yep, all is good, dude. When you see Gunner, tell him I said I’ll talk to him later.”

Pulling Ari along, I started walking toward the gate to get to my truck.

Over her shoulder, Ari yelled, “Good-bye,” to Ellie and Heather.

I practically dragged her back to my truck. I opened the door for her and helped her in.

“Jesus H. Christ, Jeff. Where the hell are we going?” Ari asked.

When I got inside my truck, I looked over at my sexier-than-hell pregnant wife and smiled. “Baby, we are going to celebrate…at The Driskill Hotel.”

Ari threw her head back and laughed. “You horny bastard. You just left one of your best friend’s birthday parties to have sex with me?”

I looked over at her like she had just said the stupidest thing ever. “Hell yeah, I did. Baby, I haven’t forgotten how fun sex is with you when you’re pregnant.” I gave her a wink.

She smiled that beautiful smile of hers. “Neither have I, Mr. Johnson. Neither have I!”

Josh was having a great time at his birthday party. He was talking and laughing with his friends. Elizabeth was moving around, being the perfect host. I smiled as I watched Josh talking to Gunner and a few friends from college. Victoria had been hanging around him for the last hour. He would talk to her every now and then, but every time he did, he would look at me and smile.

“Jesus…you know you should have been dead like forty minutes ago,” Ellie said.

“Huh?”

“You know, with the drop-dead looks Vict-bitch-ia is giving you.”

I let out a laugh and looked at Ellie. “Fuck her,” I said.

Ellis snapped her head at me and gasped. “Holy hell! Did you just say that?”

I winked at Ellie. “There’s no way in hell this girl is going to get anywhere near him. I’ll fight tooth and nail if I have to.”

When I looked back toward Josh, Victoria was whispering something in his ear. He shook his head before he started walking toward me.

Just then, Jason Aldean’s “Staring at the Sun” started playing. The smile that spread across his face caused my stomach to take a dive.

“Good Lord, do you see the way that boy is looking at you?” Ellie pushed my shoulder back.

My heart started racing. When he walked up to me, he held out his hand. I reached for it, and the moment I touched him, I sucked in a breath of air as he pulled me into him. He backed us up onto the dance floor, and we started to dance.

“Breathe, princess,” he whispered.

I grabbed on to his shirt and just held him as tightly as I could. Oh god, I miss his touch so much.

He leaned into me and put his mouth right next to my ear. “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

I slowly felt my legs going out from under me.

He held on to me tighter, and then he laughed. “I can’t take credit for that one. Gunner told me to tell you that!”

I pulled back and smiled as his eyes captured mine.

I love him so much it hurts.

He took the back of his hand and ran it down my face. “So beautiful.”

When he leaned down and kissed me, I poured as much love into that kiss as I could. I needed to show him that he was mine, and I’d wait an eternity for him.

He bit my lower lip before leaning back slightly. “I love you, Heather.”

“I love you more,” I barely whispered.

He laughed. “I love you more times infinity!”

I pulled back and looked at him. “What?”

“I love you more times infinity,” he said again as he looked at me with that smile.

When I grabbed his shirt, his smile faded.

“What’s wrong?”

“You said that to me the last night we made love. We made love in the lounge chair right over there, and you said that to me, Josh. We laughed about it, and then we said we were going to get infinity tattoos on our wrists.”

His face went white as a ghost. “Heather, I thought that was just a dream!”

“You remember that?”

He shook his head, and when he looked at me, he had tears in his eyes.

Oh. My. God. Is he starting to remember things?

“Yesterday, when I came out here…I saw you and me in one of these chairs, but I thought I was just daydreaming about you. So, you’re telling me that was a memory?”

I wanted to scream out, Yes, it’s a memory! Instead, I just smiled at him. “That was a memory indeed, baby.”

The smile that spread across his face made me giggle.

“By a river…you were reading a book, lying on a blanket—”

“That was the first time we ever made love. It was on Jeff and Ari’s property, next to the Llano River. It was the best day of my life.”

Grabbing the sides of my face, he kissed me. He kissed me as if he were never going to kiss me again.

“Can I leave my own party?” he said against my lips.

I let out a giggle. “I don’t think so.”

“I want it all back, Heather. I want back every single moment with you—every kiss, every laugh, every fight, and every time we ever made love. I want it back so fucking badly,” he said as a single tear rolled down his face.
