Vixen in Vegas (Sinful Novellas) (30 page)
“Would you like to know the sexes?” She asked with a huge smile.
“Do you know?” I asked, not even trying to hide my excitement.
Nodding, she showed us on screen. “See baby A? That…is a penis!”
Squeezing Ben’s hand, I looked to him for a reaction. He looked…numb. Didn’t all men want a son?
“Now looking at baby B…those three dashes…labia!”
“We’re having one of each? Oh, that’s too perfect,” I squealed. “I can’t wait to call Jolie.”
Turning to Ben, I suddenly realized that he was overcome with emotions. “Can we name the boy Brendan?” He asked quietly. “Would you mind?”
“That’s a great idea. It’s a wonderful way to honor your sister.” I tilted my head to watch his reaction.
“I think that she’d like that.” He looked calm once more.
“I know she would.”
A playful look crossed his face. “And we’ll name the girl Vixen after her mother.”
I nearly choked. “That’s a terrible name. Why would you suggest such a thing?”
He leaned over me, more himself than he had been since the transplant. “You will always be my Vixen in Vegas, Alysin Nixon Everly. Always.”
“You mean that?” I asked.
“Of course I do.” He kissed my cheek.
By now the ultrasound tech had left the room to share her findings with our obstetrician. “Even in a few months when I’m huge.”
“That’s a lot of love you are carrying around with you,” he reminded me. Then he leaned closer and whispered in my ear. “When I get you home, I’m going to show you how very much I love you, my amazing patient, sexy wife.”
“I’m going to hold you to that,” I responded seriously. “You have no idea how horny pregnancy has made me. I’ve had to go self-serve.”
“Never again, babe.” And he sealed that promise with a kiss.
Tears formed in my eyes and ran down my cheeks. Slowly, gently, he wiped them away. “Hormones?” He asked carefully.
“No, babe,” I said lovingly, “It’s okay for me to cry sometimes, especially when you’ve made me the happiest I’ve ever been and I get to share forever with you.”
