Kings of Mountain Brook Academy Read online

  Liam shrugs and says, “I thought I knew you, but those messages coming from your phone, how was I supposed to know?”

  Maverick drops his head utterly defeated and asks, “Can I go sit with her? I’ll leave if she gets upset when she wakes up, but can I please go be with her?”

  Wit looks up at Liam, who nods at her, and then back to Maverick. She nods.

  **********

  When I wake up I’ve got arms wrapped around me. I need to use the restroom so I whisper, “Wit? I need… I need to get up Wit.”

  The arm slides back and Maverick says, “It’s not Wit.”

  I glance at him and tears fill my eyes. He shoves to the edge of the bed putting his hands on my hips and leans forward, “Please don’t get upset. They will make me leave.”

  Tears stream down my cheeks, “I’m sorry King. I’m so sorry.”

  Maverick stands wrapping his arms around me, “Shhh… I should have fought for you. None of this is your fault.” He glances down at my belly and then places his hand on it. “Is this really for real?”

  I nod and swipe tears from my eyes, “I… I didn’t mean to. I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”

  Maverick pulls me into a hug and holds me while I cry. “Shhh, it’s okay. I’m not mad. I’m not. I’m nervous. I’m terrified, but I’m not angry. I love you. I loved you before and I love you now.”

  I glance up and he leans down kissing me. I kiss him back and only pull away when the urgent need to use the restroom becomes too much.

  I moan in pleasure as I relieve myself. I have never been happier to empty my bladder. When I come out of the restroom Maverick is smiling at me.

  “I thought I was going to have to join you in there.” he says smiling.

  I try to smile, but my heart still hurts. “The doctor…. He…. he said…. I might not be able to carry the baby because of what my mom did to me. He said he was surprised I got pregnant to begin with.”

  Terror crosses his face, but he quickly schools his features. He wraps his arms around me and whispers, “It’s going to be okay. We are going to tell our families together and we will get the best doctors available. We will make sure both of you are getting all the care you need.”

  I whimper, “They’re going to hate me. They’re going to think I’m ruining your life.” Your family is going to hate me.”

  He pulls me against his chest, “They may be mad at us both to begin with, but they will get over it when the shock wears off. They will love you and our baby. Matt and Austin may very well murder me and bury me in swamp somewhere.”

  I smirk.

  “What?” he asks.

  “They won’t let you off that easy!” I say laughing lighting.

  He smirks and pulls me tight against him.

  “I never thought I’d hear you say that.” I say.

  “Say what?” he asks.

  “Our baby. After Payton, I never thought you’d believe me. I was scared you’d walk away from me.” I say quietly.

  He swipes the hair from my face and kisses my forehead and whispers, “Not a chance in hell. MINE!” he says placing his hand softly to my abdomen. I get butterflies and blush at him claiming me and the baby.
