He frowned and raised an eye brow. "Hi" he replied.
"I'm sorry... Did I interrupt something?" Emma asked.
"No... I was just getting ready to take a bath...kinda tired" he replied.
"Oh.... Maybe I will just wait till tomorrow then. Good night" she said. She began to turn around but his hand on her arm stopped her movement.
"It's okay, Emma" he said. "We can talk now. Is everything okay?"
"Yes" she paused, then asked. "Are we going to stand out here and talk?". She realized she sounded like she was asking for an invitation into his room and she honestly didn't know if she wanted to go in. So she added quickly. "We could go to the living room".
He smiled and Emma wanted to hit him. There was nothing to smile about right now. The man just liked seeing her embarrassed. He stepped aside and she walked in. She took a deep breath and turned to face him.

"What's been going on at work?" Emma asked Karen and Monica as she poured herself another glass of apple juice."Wow" Monica said. That looks a lot like wine".Emma laughed and raised her glass. "I know" she said. "First time Daniel saw me do it, he thought I was drinking. You should have seen the look on his face. It was so funny""Poor guy" Monica said."I asked you guys how it was going at work" Emma said. "It's bad enough that I'm stuck here doing nothing. I swear I can't wait to get back to work"."Ermm... I got a promotion" Karen said excitedly."What?" Emma yelled. "Why the hell didn't you tell me?""Relax... It just happened two days ago. Frank and I were celebrating and you seem to have a lot going on these days... You know... With the baby, so I just decided to wait till I came over today.""Fine" Emma said. Rolling her eyes.

"You didn't answer my question, about Christmas" Emma said. "I asked how you celebrate it. Do you go to your mom's"He smiled, then sat beside her. "I don't really celebrate Christmas, Emma. I mean, I like the way everyone seems to be in a good mood, I like the decorations and all that stuff. It's nice. But I don't really... Celebrate... It's just another normal day for me. I visit my mom though.. For a few days"."Wow" Emma said. "I think that's a bit weird. Didn't you celebrate Christmas at home when you were little?""Oh we did" Daniel replied. "My parents loved it. Always got us presents. I liked it but I wasn't.. You know, crazy about it. I just... I guess as I grew older I just... I dunno..."Emma laughed. "I understand. You don't have to explain further. I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year. My mom used to decorate the house, buy presents for my sister and I. Even after my dad left, she tried s

Emma tried to keep her feelings motherly as Daniel gently rubbed her stomach, following the kicks and movements of the baby. But with him standing over her, reaching down, she was surrounded by his body. Everywhere she looked there was forearm, broad chest, that amazing smell of him.And this was wildly inappropriate, she told herself. He was only touching her, because she was carrying his child. As far as she knew, he saw her as nothing more than an incubator right now. It had certainly been weeks, months, since they had even spoken about the fact that they had once been so intimate with one another. She had no reason to think that he wanted anything other than friendship from her. So she should just pull these pregnancy hormones of hers in line and stop fantasising about the other parts of her body that hand could be touching right now.Emma looked towards the ceiling, still trying to find a safe place for her gaze to rest. But it collided with Da

She held back a gasp at the prickle of awareness concentrated in the pads of her fingertips, and pushed them a little harder into his chest. Schooling them not to grab him.Because that was what every hormone fuelled impulse in her body was screaming at her to do. To grab his hand, seize the heat simmering between them and bury the remnants of her doubts and worries in a kiss. Or, preferably, more.Bringing his face fractionally closer to hers. Just enough to fill her entire field of vision with the clean lines of his face and the coarse chaos of his hair. And her nose with his scent. And every single nerve ending with the memory of how he could make her body sing. She tipped her head and closed her eyes.His lips brushed against hers. Soft, but not hesitant. Deliciously assured and practised. Familiar but new, teasing her with all he had learnt about her since the moment they had met.As Daniel's hand found her wai

"A baby. Marvellous news," Jared had declared when they arrived. "Don’t you think so, Alexa? You’ll be an aunt, of course. Really wonderful news."Emma had eyed Jared carefully, trying to see the cruelty behind this affable exterior. And there it was. The slight lift of his eyebrow changed his smile to a smirk. It gave him a slight air of superiority, as if he had guessed exactly how planned this pregnancy was. She could practically see the guessing games playing across his brain.Emma had discussed it with Daniel. But he had urged her not to worry about it. Not that it was easy."I don't want a scene" Daniel had said. "Especially with my mother here...It would really hurt her to see us fighting. He has always been that way. I know it's hard but he is still my brother and that's just his way of looking out for me... He is like that a lot.. But I'm sure he will come around eventually...There's no need to engage him. Besides they will

He was angry. And although she knew how angry he was at his brother, she also knew he was mad at her. The fact that his eyes remained fixed through the windscreen, confirmed her worst fear.He couldn’t even look at her. Perhaps she had been rash confronting Jared like that. But was she meant to ignore it? Let Jared get away with hurting and provoking her and Daniel? Perhaps, It was what Daniel had wanted. He’d never asked her to jump to his defence. But when someone hurt him, it hurt her. It hurt their family, and she hadn’t been able to stand it.She sighed. "I’m sorry, Daniel" She reached out a hand and brushed it against Daniel's, hoping to soften the tension there. But he flinched away from her. She caught her breath, shocked by the pain his rejection had caused in her chest."I didn’t mean to cause a scene." she said."Well, you still did a good job of it." he replied harshly. "You shouldn't have done that. I k

His words struck her like arrows. The injustice biting at her. Each word’s sting sharper than the last."I—" Emma began but the words just wouldn't come out. Was he really saying those words."Jared was right the first time" he said.The words sounded so much worse, and Emma gasped. Before she could prevent herself, her hand connected with his cheek.Daniel made no attempt to deflect the blow and she watched him, with a feeling of disbelief. The clear marks of her fingers would definitely show on the left side of his face.She regretted it instantly. She didn’t do things like this. She didn't hit people. But it was too late to have second thoughts. It wasn’t the words that hurt the most; it was the expression on his face. The pain, fear and resignation that told her he meant every one of them. He was broken, afraid and angry—and he blamed her entirely.She inhaled deeply, remembering his sudde

"You don’t want me there." he said."You’re putting me on the spot," she countered, trying to keep up with his arguments."Seriously what exactly have you planned?" he asked."Karen will be there for me during the birth" she replied. He shook his head as if she’d disappointed him, and he’d expected it all along."And where do I fit into any of this? Or am I meant to just miss out on the first few weeks?" His voice broke, betrayed the fear and despair behind his anger. "I want to be at the birth." he said.For a few moments, all she could see, hear, smell was blood, guts and embarrassment. She swallowed down her automatic refusal."Head end only. If I change my mind on the day you respect my privacy. And I still want Karen too"He looked up in surprise. "Okay, I can live with that. But when we get home, you know it’s just going to be the three of us."She stare

Emma stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at her reflection.She had a towel around her. After she had breastfed and put Jack to sleep, she and Daniel had returned to their bedroom. And right now, Emma couldn't remember if she had ever been this happy in her life.... She couldn't believe how amazing everything had turned out.When she opened the door and stepped into the bedroom, Daniel was on the bed, his chest bare, reading something on his phone... Which he dropped when she came out of the bathroom.Damn, he thought. She'd never stop being sexy to him. She always and would always have that effect on him.Emma blushed at his reaction, then she went to get dressed. She put on the sexy nightie Karen had given her as a gift for her wedding night.When she turned, Daniel was still watching her. Not bothering to hide the desire in his eyes."Come here" he said.

The door opened and Jared walked into the room. They hadn't really talked since he arrived but he had been nicer, smiled more and very warm towards her... And especially to little Jack.He wasn't so so terribly intimidating anymore. He had turned out to be surprisingly charming. And he loved Jack. His new nephew. He’d perch Jack on his big, broad chest while he read, informing the baby of any interesting movement on the share market.“This boy is a Rohan indeed,” he’d declared one day. "Can’t start learning too soon.”But right now, as he walked into the room and asked Karen and Monica to excuse them so they could talk in private, Emma wasn't sure of what he had to say. After they left, he turned to her and Emma waited for him to speak."You look very beautiful, Emma" Jared said. "My brother is very lucky to have you"Emma smiled sweetly at him

"So I know this probably isn't what I should be talking about right now... But how about we push the wedding forward and get married in three weeks? If you agree of course" Daniel asked.Emma stared up at him."Yeah" Daniel continued. "All three of us are family already. Why wait any longer? There's no reason to. Your mom is going to be here to see the baby, why not invite our families to come see the baby and attend our wedding at once"Emma smiled at him. "Yes. Let's do it" she said. "I gotta say, I like this loving, caring, soft side of you"Daniel simply grinned and leaned down to kiss her again. As he did, the door opened and Karen, Frank, Tom and Monica came into the room."Hey, Daniel" Karen said playfully as they moved closer. "Let my girl rest a bit before you get her pregnant again"Everyone laughed at Karen's joke...including Daniel. "Oh, he's so cute" Karen murmured as t

Dr Davis also treated him with considerable deference as he monitored Emma's labour, assuring them both that everything was proceeding normally.The contractions were coming fast. She barely had time to catch her breath in between the waves of pain. Daniel sat beside her, watching anxiously, giving her his hand to grip, repeating what the doctor said—head engaged, won’t be long, bearing down soon—as though she couldn’t hear for herself, or he needed to assure himself that this agony had a short time limit.Emma didn’t try to speak. Wanting to remember everything about having this baby. Her entire concentration was focussed on willing her baby to make a safe journey from her womb, imagining every pain as a positive step forward. The urge to push came suddenly and was almost uncontrollable.“Not too hard, Emma,” the doctor instructed. "Slow it down if you can, a nice, gentle passage, no tearing. Yes, that’s good…coming now…head in my

"Are you going to the office?" Emma asked as she walked into Daniel's room the next day.Daniel turned to look at her as he unbuttoned his shirt. "No I'm not. I can't leave you here alone. I have a meeting though. But I will be doing it via video call" he replied."You can leave if you have to" Emma said. "Apparently, this baby isn't ready to be born yet"Daniel smiled at her. I'm sorry that you're uncomfortable, baby." He said. " But when the baby comes, you will be so happy that all of this won't matter. You are going to have someone you are gonna love more than anything on the world. Infact I gotta say, I'm little jealous of all the love our baby is going to be getting. I'm so used to having you all to myself now"Emma laughed and her body shook. "Relax" she said. "I'm going to love the heck out of the both of you.

"Oh my God" Emma said to Karen and Monica as she returned to the living room from the bathroom. "That must have been the tenth time I've been to the bathroom in the last two hours""It's also been the tenth time since you have told us" Karen said sarcastically and Monica giggled. They had come to visit Emma at Daniel's house.Emma rolled her eyes. "Yeah, it must be really hard for you to hear" she said.Daniel was in the room too. He sat at another table working on his laptop. But he was clearly listening to them because he giggled at Karen's comment.Emma turned to him and rolled her eyes, which made him laugh."Hey honey" he said to Emma, while smiling. "Is there anything you need me to do for you?""Yeah right. Like you haven't done enough" Emma said, jokingly pointing at her stomach. Daniel simply exchanged glances with Monica and Karen and they laughed again. Emma smiled too.

“How about breakfast in bed?” Daniel asked.“Mmm, that sounds nice. I don’t think I can move and I’m suddenly feeling lazy.” Emma replied.He smiled because he couldn’t imagine anything better than the two of them sharing an intimate meal in bed. Hell, if he had his way they wouldn’t leave the bedroom for the rest of the day.“Let me go fix something up for the both of us " He said. "You stay here and get comfortable. I’ll be right back.”He kissed her nose and then carefully disentangled himself from the warm clasp of her body. He eased her onto her side, pulled the rumpled sheet over her and rolled toward the nightstand, sitting up and putting his legs over the edge of the bed.He glanced back to see that she’d immediately commandeered his pillow, which made him chuckle, because it was exactly what she’d done in the past."What?" Emma asked as she watched him. "Why are you smiling

His breath escaped in a long hiss and then she slid down, resheathing him all over again.“You drive me crazy,” he muttered.She smiled, clearly satisfied with his admission.He savored the feel of her much smaller hands engulfed by his. They held on tightly as she began a slow, rhythmic ride. Their gazes locked. They never looked away, never broke eye contact as she made love to him, driving him closer and closer to ultimate release.Emma expelled a pent up breath as he stretched her, as the sweet burning of her body molding to him became the single thought on her mind.He reached for her breasts and she covered his hands with hers as he massaged her breasts, and she continued rocking her hips in a steady rhythm, tossing her hair over one shoulder, it became a curtain over their hands, over her breast.He loved her hair, she knew that, and he still did, because he took a chunk of it and roped

It was easy to forget all that had happened between them now. It was easy to forget the weeks of pain and loneliness. It was easy to imagine that they’d never been apart and that they had always been together, home in bed, just waking in Daniel's place—their home.This was the healing they needed. Emma smiled into his neck.------------------------------Daniel lay there, Emma in his arms, thinking about what had just happened. On the surface it had been a very quick, very hot sexual interlude. One of the best he’d ever had.But it went deeper. It wasn’t just sex. It wasn't like all the other times they had been together. If it was just sex, his heart wouldn’t feel as though it was going to burst out of his chest. He wouldn’t be so overwhelmed that he had no idea how to process what he felt.It was… It was more intense than sex had ever been between them. They had been a study in hot, flirty, fun in
