Learning To Fly (Fated Love Book 1) by Lauren Firminger Page B

got scalded for that. Feet don’t go on coffee tables. Wrapping my arms back around her when she came and sat on my lap, I pressed a kiss to her shoulder as she said, “I’m not going to fight you on this—not with bean to think about. He or she is still so little. I don’t want to let either of you down.”

    “Hey, now.” I sat up and raised her chin so she was looking at me. “Maddison Rose, you could never let me down. If you want to stay here with me, you can stay backstage or back at the hotel. You can take the guys and make them take you sightseeing. I just want my baby and baby mama to be safe and happy. I won’t send you away, darlin’. Not if you don’t want to go.”  

    Maddie nodded and pressed her lips to mine. “I want to stay, but I can’t put my needs over bean’s. I will call Uncle. You have a break coming up soon, don’t you?”  

    I nodded. “A couple of weeks away.”  

    “Maybe I can stay until then just so that gives the guys some time to get things in place then once you are back out on the road then I will go home. We’ll do our ten week scan before I go?”  

    I smiled and kissed her nose. “That sounds like a good plan to me, baby. I will let Lucas know to start making it happen.”

    “Are we telling people?”  

    “That’s up to you, darlin’. If you want to wait a little longer until the risks are lower and you are further along, then that’s fine with me. We will need to tell Lucas though so he knows more care needs to be taken.” I brushed a stray hair away from Maddie’s face. “I am in no way going to wrap you in cotton wool, darlin’.”  

    “Good because we both know how that will end. I’m okay with Lucas knowing. He has to keep it quiet, though. I don’t want the rest of the world knowing or Josh finding out.”  

    I nodded. “Not a word, darlin’. I’ll make sure of it.”  

    “What about our other news?”  

    I grinned. “Well, now that I want to shout from the rooftop, baby.”  

    Maddie laughed, and I kissed her softly. God, how I loved that sound. I leaned back when Maddie hopped off my lap to get her phone. Once she returned, I rested my hand against her hip as she took hold of my other hand. Linking them together, she lay back against my shoulder and laid our hands against my chest. After taking a few photos and picking her favourite, she opened my Instagram and added the caption, “I asked…she said YES!!!” and posted it to Facebook and twitter.  

    “Consider it shouted, baby.” She grinned and pressed her lips to my neck.  

    “So glad you handle my social media, darlin’, because you know it’s gonna blow up now.”  

    Maddie just grinned wider. “Only if the notifications are on.” No sooner had the words left her lips than there was a banging on the door before it opened and Lucas and Daniel raced in. Before I could stop them, they had her out of my lap and had pulled me out of my seat. After congratulating us both, they disappeared, leaving Maddie and I alone again.

    “Maybe that wasn’t such a smart move.” Maddie laughed and moved back to me. Right now, life was pretty fucking sweet.  

    “Uhm, baby?”  

    “Yeah, darlin?” I ran my fingers through her hair when she pulled back to look at me.  

    “This thought probably should have come to me before now, but do your parents know?”

      I gave her that grin of mine she loved and nodded. “They knew I was gonna ask, so it wouldn’t be a surprise you said yes.”  

    She just shook her head and laughed. “I could have said no, ya know?”  

    “Oh, I know, darlin’, but I have excellent persuasive techniques that would have come out should it have even looked like you were going to. Although, maybe I need to tell them you surprised me first, and that they are gonna be grandparents.”  

    “You should probably do that before someone beats you with supposed pregnancy rumors.”  

    I kissed her hard. Getting up off the couch, I grabbed
