megan held up her hands in defeat . |
`` okay , okay , i promise . '' |
emma smiled . |
`` nothing would make me happier than if you were to fall in love with pesh . '' |
with a laugh , megan said , `` did you just hear anything that i said ? |
i 'm anti-love . '' |
`` so was aidan . '' |
just as megan opened her mouth to protest , aidan waltzed into the room . |
`` everything okay ? '' |
`` fine . |
just finished feeding and dressing him , '' emma replied `` good . |
the natives are getting restless to see the little man of the hour before the baptism . '' |
he strode over to them and took his son into his arms . |
`` you ready to go work the crowd , noah ? '' |
noah 's response was to grunt and reach for aidan 's tie . |
with a laugh , aidan announced , `` i 'll take that as a yes . '' |
he then leaned in to kiss emma 's cheek . |
`` ready mrs . |
fitzgerald ? '' |
she smiled before linking her arm through his . |
`` yes , mr. fitzgerald , i am . '' |
megan and casey followed them out the door and down the hallway . |
they entered a noisy room crammed with family and friends . |
she left aidan and emma 's side to seek out her parents to check on mason . |
she found her parents , but their arms were empty . |
in a panic , she demanded , `` where 's mason ? '' |
her father smiled and pointed over to where a pile of her younger cousins were . |
mason was on the lap of her aunt becky 's oldest son , john . |
mason was mesmerized with what whatever john was doing on his phone . |
megan smiled as she walked up to them . |
`` everything okay ? '' |
without taking his eyes off the screen , john replied , `` we 're fine . '' |
`` are you sure he 's not bothering you ? '' |
what she was n't asking was if john was actually keeping an eye on mason between playing on his phone . |
john glanced up . |
`` considering i have two younger brothers , i think i can handle him . |
besides , he 's really into this game . '' |
`` okay then , '' megan replied . |
she spoke to john 's brothers , percy and georgie , before making her way around the room . |
all her relatives were interested to hear how her schooling was going and how mason was . |
she had just turned away from talking to her great aunt and uncle when someone pressed up against her back . |
`` do n't look now , but there 's dr. mcdreamy bollywood now , '' casey whispered into her ear . |
without hesitation , her eyes scanned the crowd . |
and then she saw him . |
ankle was taking him around and making introductions . |
pesh was impossibly tall and wearing a tailor-made black suit . |
even beneath the lines of the clothing , she could make out his large biceps and thick thighs . |
he obviously spent his downtime between hospital shifts working out . |
his wavy , jet-black hair was cut short , and his dark eyes took in all that ankle was saying . |
and while she may have been in a church about to stand up as a godmother , she could n't help the ni**les tightening and panties moistening reaction of seeing him . |
he was all the way across the room , but he had the same effect as if he were standing by her side , rubbing against her . |
`` see what i mean ? '' |
casey questioned . |
megan licked her lips . |
`` oh my , '' she finally managed . |
`` sure you do n't want to give him a chance ? '' |
fighting the urge to fan herself , megan quickly replied , `` i 'd like to give him many , many chances . '' |
chances at ripping off my clothes , chances at kissing and licking me all over my body , chances at allowing his hands , fingers , and the promising bulge in his pants to stroke me until i orgasm ... yep , many , many chances . |
as if she could read megan 's mind , casey laughed . |
`` oh girl , this has trouble written all over it . '' |
chapter three pesh paced nervously around the back of the cathedral . |
the fact he was in a catholic church was n't the only reason he felt out of his element . |
as he eyed the massive statue of jesus , he fidgeted absently with his tie . |
although emma had sworn aidan was fine with the idea of him as godfather , he was still a little apprehensive about seeing aidan again . |
the last time they 'd been together , pesh was the hero flying aidan from north carolina to atlanta just in time for noah 's unexpected birth . |
but that was six months ago . |
the euphoria of the moment now had time to fade , and to aidan , pesh could still be the man who almost stole emma away . |
a side door opened , and aidan stepped out . |
he immediately met pesh 's anxious gaze . |
when his lips curved into a wide smile , pesh exhaled the nervous breath he 'd been holding . |
`` well , there you are , '' aidan said , as he strode up . |
he bypassed throwing out his hand , and instead , he pulled pesh to him for a bear hug . |
`` emma was worried about you . '' |
`` she was ? '' |
`` yeah , she asked me to come out and see if i could find you . '' |
`` i 'm sorry . |
i was n't sure where to go , and no one was out here . '' |
`` do n't worry about it . '' |
aidan pulled away . |
`` so how the hell are you ? '' |
pesh could n't help laughing at aidan 's choice of words , especially in a church . |
`` i 'm good , thank you . '' |
he cocked his head at aidan . |
`` and what about you ? |
is fatherhood agreeing with you ? '' |
a beaming smile lit aidan 's face . |
`` i 'm absolutely fantastic . |
i never could have imagined that being a father would be this ... amazing . '' |
pesh nodded . |
`` i want you to know what an honor it is for me to be noah 's godfather . '' |
`` we 're glad to have you . '' |
aidan patted pesh 's back . |
`` and i do mean that . '' |
`` i hope you do . |
i have had my concerns ... '' aidan shook his head . |
`` well , do n't . |
i 'll admit i was n't too thrilled with the prospect at first , but em was able to make me see the light . |
you were there for us when we really needed you . |
i mean , besides my wedding day , i would 've missed the most important days of my life-my son 's birth . |
i can never thank you enough . |
