“Just wanted to be prepared.”  I kiss her and wipe her clean.

Chapter 20

These past two weeks of being Eric's wife has been amazing.  I fall in love more and more every day.  Even though we don't see much of each other at the moment due to the heavy work schedule the guys are keeping to get this job in Maine done, the time we do have is perfect.  Moon lit walks on the beach every night, a few nights we had taken a dip in the ocean and made love on the beach.  Tonight we decided to go out for dinner with Brody and Annie.

"Princess, You ready?  Brod and Annie are downstairs."  Eric comes up from behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my neck.  "Mmm, you feel warm Jaz, are you feeling ok?"

"Yea, just a little tired.  I'll be fine."  I lean back into him and rest me head on his shoulder.

"You sure baby.  If you are tired we can stay in.  I don't want you to outdo yourself."

"By eating dinner?"  I smirk.  "Really, I will be fine.  I'll get a glass of water before we leave and I will perk right up."  I give him a peck on the cheek and turn in his arms.  He kisses me tenderly and pulls back.

"Ok then, go get some water and we will head out."  He grabs my ass and I giggle and walk out the door and down the stairs.

"Hey Jazzy, ready to shake your booty?"  Annie asks shaking her body.  I chuckle.

"When am I never ready to go dancing?"  I laugh at her.

"Water first princess."  Eric announces from the top of the stairs.  I roll my eyes at him and salute.

"What's wrong Jazzy?"  Annie asks all concerned.

"What do you mean?"

"Why is Eric making sure you drink some water?"

"Nothing is wrong.  I'm just feeling a little sluggish and told him I would drink water to perk myself up.  No big deal."

"Malibu rum will perk you up too."  She winks.

"Yea I agree but unfortunately I won't be drinking tonight."

"What!  Jasmine Simmons is not having sex on the beach with me?!  What the hell, you're not pregnant."  She chuckles and then stops and stares from me then to Eric.  We are both smiling at each other.  "OMG!!! YOU'RE PREGNANT!!"  She comes running over to me and throws her arms around my neck.  I hug her back.  "Oh my god! I can't believe it!  When did you find out?  When are you due?  OMG I’m going to be an auntie!"  She runs over to Eric and hugs him as well.  Brody hugs me.

"Congratulations Jaz.  We are so happy fer ye two."

"Thanks Brody."

"Hard tae believe Eric is going tae be a Da."  Brody punches him in the shoulder and Eric shoves him back.  Brody hugs him and congratulates him.

"Alright lets get this party started I’m starving!"  I say and we all chuckle.  We pile into Brody's jeep and head to the restaurant.  After eating we are sitting talking about our baby and Annie is already planning a baby shower.  That girl loves to throw her parties.  I reach over to grab my water and get a sharp pain in my lower back.  I try not to wince but Eric notices.

"What’s wrong Jaz?"  He rubs my back were I’m grabbing.

"Nothing I just go a little twinge in my back.  can you hand me my water please."  He reaches over and grabs my water and I take a sip.  My back starts to relax.  "Thank you baby.  I'm ok. I think I just pinched a nerve when I reached for the water.  It's gone now."  He leans over and gives me a kiss.

"Aww you two are so cute."  Annie squeals out.  We all laugh.  After paying for dinner we head to the club.  The club is amazing.  It's right on the beach.  One wall of the building slides open so guest can dance outside as well as the inside.  There is also an outside bar.  We grab a table outside since it’s a nice warm night for October.  We are waiting on the guys beers and Annie's drink, when my back twinges again.  This time it was a little sharper.  I gasp which alerts Eric.

"Jazzy, let's go, you need to get some rest.  You have been busy all day in the office.  Coming to the club was too much baby.  I don't like when you over do it."

"No Eric.  I'm ok, really."

"Honey, maybe Eric is right.  You have been out busy all day.  We can all leave and come back next weekend.  You do have that little peanut to take care of now too."  Annie says rubbing my back.

"Fine, but you guys finish your drinks first."  They all nod and start drinking.  I lean in on Eric's shoulder and he wraps his arm around me and pulls me in.  I get another twinge.

"Aahhh."  Eric puts his beer down and stands.

"Let's go princess."  He lifts me up and Annie gasps.

"Shite!  Hospital noo Mate!"  Brody nods to where I was sitting and Eric looks down.

"Fuck!"  And he rushes out the door.

"Eric! What's wrong!  Eric!"  I start crying.  My stomach starts cramping.  Eric gets me into the jeep and follows me in.  Brody speeds off to the ER.

Chapter 21

"Where the fuck is the doctor!"  My princess is in pain and the doc is taking his sweet fucking time getting in here.

"Mate calm doon the nurse went tae git him and an ultrasound machine.  It's only been two minutes."  Brody says.  He has his arms wrapped tightly around Annie who is crying.  I love these guys and I am so fucking glad Jazzy and I are not here alone.  I know I need my best friends support.  Just then the nurse walks back in and followed by the doctor.  Brody, Annie and myself look at him with disbelief on our faces.

"What the fuck-"  I mumble, louder than I thought cause Jaz looks up from resting.

"Dean?"

"Dean?  What- What are you doing here?"  Annie asks.

"Well, no need for introductions.  Obviously I'm a doctor here."  He chuckles.

"No, we mean, Why are you here in Maine?  And you are a doctor?  Kev didn't mention that."  Annie replies and looks at Brody questioning if he knew and Brody shakes his head no.

"Ok, hate to break up the reunion but could we please find out why I am in so much pain."  Jazzy groans through clenched teeth.

"So Jazzy, how far along we you?"

"About 10 weeks."

"Ok, lets have a look at what’s going on."  Dean says.  He presses on Jazzy's stomach and she starts crying.  I lean down and nuzzle into her neck.

"It's ok baby, you are going to be ok.  I love you Jaz." I whisper.

"When did you notices the pains Jazzy?"

"Just before we left for dinner.  It was around 5pm.  She thought it was just from being busy all day in the office and not getting much rest.  She had a glass of water and we left.  She was fine through dinner then she said it felt like a muscle twinge in her back."  I tell Dean.  "Then we get to the club and sit and she is in a considerable amount of pain that she gasps and cringes.  I then lift her up to carry her out to the car and that’s when Brody and Annie see some blood."  Jazzy starts crying again and I lean down and hold her in my arms.

"I'm so sorry Eric.  I should have listened to you and stayed home.  I'm sorry baby."

"Shhhh, Jazzy.  You did nothing wrong baby.  It's ok.  Shhh."  I rock her.

"Well lets do an ultrasound and check what’s happening inside."  Dean and the nurse move around and get things set up to do an ultra sound.  When i notice Dean sitting at the foot of the bed and pulling out something that looks like horns coming out on each side of the table I look at Brody with a WTF expression.  Annie smirks.

"Ummm Dean, I know I’m not the doc and all but I have seen TV, don’t you do ultrasounds up here on the stomach?  Not between my wife's legs."  The nurse chuckles and Dean gives her a look that shuts her up.

"Usually yes Eric, but since Jazzy is only 10 weeks in it is harder to see what’s happening with the external machine since the embryo is very small.  So I have to use this internal one to look."  He holds up this long stick thingy.  "Jazzy I need you to put your feet in the stirrups and let your legs fall open."

"Oh NO!! NO NO NO! You are not going to be seeing my wife's pussy."

"ERIC!"  Jazzy and Annie screech at me.

"What!  He's not going to shove that dildo thi-"

"Eric, mate.  Lets go fur a walk fur a bit.  We wull be back in 10 minutes, Is that enough time Dean?"  Brody asks while pulling me out the door.  Dean nods yes and Brody shoves me out and shuts the door.

"Dude!  Let me back in!"

"Eric!  Ye need tae calm doon.  Jazzy needs ye right noow and ye are acting like a wain.  Git yersel together mate."  I huff of my frustration and start calming down.  "Good noow walk."

"She's losing the baby, isn't she?"  I mumble after a few minutes.

"Aye, I think so mate.  But ye canni loose it.  Ye need tae stay strong fur the both of yous.  She needs ye mate."  I nod in agreement.  We make it back to her room and go in.  Dean and the nurse have left and Annie and Jazzy are sitting there crying and holding each other.  Shit, fuck.  I walk over and touch Annie's shoulder and she looks up and stands and hugs me.  Then she goes over to Brody and they leave the room.

"Jazzy, princess.  I'm so sorry baby."  I gather her in my arms and we hold each other tight.  She cries.  And I find myself crying for the loss of my unborn child.  "Oh Jazzy we will be ok.  We will get through this.  We will have lots and lots of babies.  This one just wasn't meant to be ours."  She nods and slowly pulls away.

"I love you Eric.  I'm so sorry I wasn't able to carry this baby."  I lean in and kiss her firmly.  I want to take that doubt out of her.  I pull away.

"It is not your fault Jasmine.  These things happen all the time.  Yes, it sucks it happened to us.  But it was nothing you did wrong.  We will try again.  We will have our baby."  She leaps up into my arms and hugs me tightly.

"I love you so much Eric."

"I love you too princess."

Chapter22

2 months later

"Princess where are we setting up the tree?"

"Over in front of the bookshelves near the stairs."  I walk in to the living room from the kitchen.  Annie and I are busy making Christmas cookies to give out to the community and bake sales.  "Right there looks good baby, then we can sit on the couch and have a fire going and see the tree lit up.  It will be so pretty."  Eric leaves Brody holding the tree and comes over and hugs me too him. 

"Mmmm, you smell like sugar cookies, and good enough to eat."  He leans in and licks my neck and then nibbles it.  I giggle and shrug, he chuckles and nibbles up to my ear and sucks on it.  "I can't wait to eat you later princess.  Did I tell you how hot you look covered in flour and wearing that apron."  He whispers.  I shiver.

"All right ye two, we huv a tree tae put up and cookies tae bake.  Eric git yer arse back ower here noow."  Brody interrupts.

"Go put up the tree."  I slap his ass and dart off to the kitchen before he can grab me.

"Is this the last batch we are doing?"  Annie asks with a whine.

"Yes, whine baby.  Tomorrow Eric and I will drop them off before we head to your in laws for dinner." 

"I can't believe Christmas is in three days.  These last couple of months have flown by so fast.  Even though we ended up staying a couple weeks longer than the guys wanted to in Maine, they were still able to get this other build done in time.  Now we are all off for the next couple of months!" Annie sings.

"I know, It will be nice to just relax for a bit.  We have all been busting our humps to get everything done in time.  Hard work pays off!"  I stick the last batch of the cookies into the oven.  I refill mine and Annie's wine glasses and we walk into the living room. 

"How's it look Jaz?"  Eric asks while facing the tree. and I look at his ass in his tight ass hugging jeans and struggle to hold in my moan.

"Looks fucking sexy as hell.  Especially with that little rip just below the cheek."  He turns with a huge grin.

"I meant the tree princess, but that’s good to know you still find my ass sexy."

"It's perfect baby.  The tree and your ass."  I sit down next to Annie.  Brody comes over and sits on the other side of her.  Eric comes over to me and pulls me up from sitting and brings me to the other couch and pulls me down into his lap.

"You're perfect my princess"  He kisses me softly on the lips.

"Are we going to decorate the tree or just look at it bare."  Annie asks and the guys chuckle.  "Get your perverted minds out of the gutter."

"No can do, it's a guy thing.  We are always teetering in the gutter." Eric laughs.  He and Brody stand and start to string the lights on the tree.  That’s when the door opens and in walks Kevin and Dean? 

"Aye, ye guys seen ootside yet, it's snowing like crazy." Kevin announces.  Annie and i run to the floor to ceiling windows and look out like to kids.

"It's a magical winter wonderland!"  Eric comes up behind me and wraps me up in his arms.  Brody does the same with Annie.  Then out of the corner of my eye i see Kevin walk over and Dean comes up behind him and embraces him in his arms.  I smile and lay my head back into Eric's shoulder.  I can't believe this is where my life is today.  I have amazing friends and family.  I'm married to the most wonderful man I could ever ask for and I have the most precious gift of all.  I whisper into Eric's ear.
