Wrapped in Silk (40 page)

“Step away from the Porn Music Man,” Emma laughed.

“No this is classic stuff Em, do you think we could get the receptionist to bring us some Popcorn?” Brody smiled, “Make it a movie Date?”

“Do you see deep
throat in there?” Emma asked quietly.

Brody smiled at her amusingly, “You’ve watched …”

“No but I am sure I could improvise you know, over here,” she walked towards the couch.

“Emma how many blow jobs do you think have been given over there?” Brody smiled.

“Revolting,” Emma said.

“Exactly,” Brody said and pushed the buzzer and the nurse
knocked and came in.

“Could we take this to my car?” Brody said holding up the collection container, “I fear I may have performance
anxiety in this room.”

E
mma giggled and covered her face.

“I suppose, um you could use the back door,” the receptionist blushed.

“Wouldn’t that taint the…” Brody began.

“Alright
thank you, we will be right back,” Emma laughed and dragged him out the door.

They laughed the entire way to the car.

“Emma we could make better Porn than that,” Brody laughed.

“Okay let
’s start now,” Emma undid his pants.

“You really can recover from that so fast?” Brody asked as she released him from his pants.

“Um, we have a job to do here Music Man,” Emma said took him in her mouth.

“Emma stop let me…” Brody started.

“You are going to get a blow job and empty in this cup,” Emma began again.

“It’s going to take awhile,” he laughed.

“Do you want a baby Brody?” Emma said and sat next to him obviously frustrated.

“This can
’t be a job Em,” he said scowling.

“
What’s wrong? You do know what we are here for right?” Emma smiled.

“Just…. Not what I am use
d to Emma…” Brody ran his hands through his hair.

Emma smiled, “Well you couldn’t give me
control just once could you?”

“What?” he asked confused.

“Sex Brody, couldn’t let me make you come once without being in control. So here’s the deal,” Emma said hiking her skirt up, “I am going to get myself off right here, right now and there isn’t a damn thing I am going to let you do about it.”

Emma stuck her finger in her mouth and sucked hard hollowing her cheeks. Brody’s eyes widened and he started to move towards her, “No.”

Emma pulled her feet up on the leather seat and pulled her panties aside and continued sucking her finger. She saw Brody start to harden and slowly reached down and began to rub her clit.

Brody
growled, “Emma.”

She raised her eyebrow and
let out a breath, “Brody?”

“My God,” he gasped.

Brody lunged forward and put his hand under hers.

“You seem ready now,” Emma moaned.

“You seemed to have made me that way,” his mouth crashed over hers and his fingers pushed into her.

“Brody, damn it,” Emma moaned.

“Good
morning Lila,” Brody said opening the car door for her and handed her flowers.

“Really Hines?” Lila laughed.

“Yes, Emma insisted that if we are implanting you today we better at least give you flowers, right Emma?” he said sitting next to her in the car.

Emma smiled, “If you have changed…”

“Emma,” Lila smiled, “I only ask that you do one thing in return for me.”

“Anything,” Emma smiled.

“You will be my coach and my workout buddy after I give birth,” Lila laughed.

“I will do both, and I will cook for you too,” Emma said hugging her
.

Emma, Lila, and Brody sat in the Doctor’s office waiting to be called in.

“Well the blood work came back and it appears Lila’s HCG levels are very high meaning the home test was accurate even if it was a couple days early,” Dr. Stork
scowled.

Brody looked at Emma and smiled. She hugged Lila and they both cried.

“We will do an ultrasound to see how many babies we are looking at,” Dr. Stork smiled.

When Emma and Brody were alone in the car he looked at her and smiled again. Emma
smiled back and looked out the window.

“Em, what is it,” he asked pulling her towards him.

“Nothing, I am happy,” she smiled and put her face into his chest.
And very nervous and scared to be happy for one minute because what happens if
…she thought hiding her face against him.

“Me too,” he kissed her head, “Three hu?”

Emma giggled, “Yep.”

“Does that worry you love?” Brody asked.

“No, I just won’t get that much sleep,” Emma smiled up at him, “Well worth it.”

“You won
’t be alone Em, I am in this as deep as you. Midnight feedings, diaper changes, all of it,” he smiled and kissed her nose.

“I will remember you said that,”
Emma nuzzled into his neck.

“You won
’t have to it was not an empty promise Emma, I want this as much if not more than you,” Brody held her tightly.

Emma returned his embrac
e and stayed in his arms.

The phone rang at two in the morning and Emma reached for it blindly in the dark. Brody shifted in his sleep as she scrambled off the bed.

“Hello,” Emma whispered as she walked into the bathroom so she would not disturb Brody.

“Sorry to call you at this hour Emma, I don’t know what to do…” Lila began to cry.

“Lila are you okay?” Emma was stunned.

Lila was not one to cry. She was always so strong and levelheaded. She thought things through and did not act without doing so before hand.

“Emma I am bleeding, I am so sorry. I knew you would want to know. I called you before calling Mark
because these are your babies,” Lila apologized softly.

“Okay, but it’s your body Lila, call him if you need him okay?”Emma said quietly.

“Emma,” Lila said softly.

“I can come now,” Emma started.

“Ok, but you better tell him Emma, first okay?” Lila instructed her.

“Okay,
I will be there soon,” Emma hung up the phone and sat on the bathroom floor and silently sobbed into her knees.

When
she finally stopped she grabbed a washcloth and wet it under the water. She looked in the mirror and saw Brody standing in the doorway.

“Em, come here,” he said and opened his arms and walked towards her.

“I am so sorry, I knew this would happen. I have been through this, I never wanted to hurt you or Lila this way,” she cried, “I am so sorry.”

“Shhh, come now. I knew what
could happen and so did Lila. I am so sorry you’re reliving this,” he held her tightly and kissed her head.

“I just need a few minutes,” Emma tried to pull away, “I will be fine, I am sorry.”

“Don’t do that Em,” he held her tighter, “It’s us together, we do this together.”

Brody held her and let her cry. Emma was not sure if she could not stop crying because of the hurt she was feeling for herself, or for Brody or Lila. She could not stop it though and she realized she was crying for all of them and for the babies she had lost before. Brody just held her and let her cry.

After the
appointment with the fertility specialist all three of them had decided they would wait it out. Allowing Lila’s body to naturally miscarry instead of surgical procedure that had been suggested. Mark had agreed it was a good option considering any surgery was risky.

“Your HSG levels have lowered but not considerably. We are going to make sure everything has
passed and do a vaginal Ultra sound,” Dr. Grear explained.

“Would you like us to wait outside,” Emma asked Lila.

“You stay, sorry Hines but that means you’re going to have to leave,” Lila smiled.

Brody understood, he certainly didn’t need to be in the room but he still wanted Emma to be alright. She had not completely distanced herself from him but when he walked in a room he often saw her looking out a window deep in thought. His normal reaction was to hug her and ask her if she was alright or what she was thinking. He had stopped doing this when he realized it was incredibly
repaticious and she was probably getting tired of telling him the same thing over and over again. He would not ask her to go through this again and had even looked into the adoption process deeper. Not that he felt it one hundred percent necessary to have a child but he wanted her to be happy. Hell he wanted that connection with her. Brody knew that Troy would forever have her love, because of London and at times that made him squirm. Not that he was jealous, he knew her heart was forever his.

The door to the exam room opened and he looked up at Emma’s face. She had tears coming down her cheeks but she smiled.

“Em,” he went to hug her.

“Don’t, I want to show you something in here,” Emma smiled as she wiped her face.

Brody looked confused and she laughed, “Cover your eyes, Lila doesn’t want to give you a peep show.”

He started to protest and she giggled, “Just do it!”

Emma led Brody to the head of the exam table. The nurse had draped a blanket covering Lila’s private area.

“Open your eyes,” Emma said with smile.

Brody opened his eyes and the ultra sound technician enlarged the screen.

Emma took his hand, “Well look really carefully and you will see that little flutter inside what looks like a peanut
.”

Brody shook his head, “Yes I see it, does
this mean we have to have Lila go through…”

“Brody, one of our babies is still growing inside her, that little flutter, that is its heart,” Emma beamed, “We are going to have a baby, still, you are going to be a Daddy!”

Brody watched silently for a few seconds and a smile began to creep across his face.

“You are quit
e sure?” he asked peeling his eyes off the screen and finally looking at Emma.

“We are at eleven weeks,” Emma beamed, “Almost…”

“We can tell London at Christmas Em, we can still do that,” Brody lifted her and twirled her around and kissed her.

“Yes, yes we can,” Emma said slowly pulling away.

“Thank you!” Brody exclaimed and kissed Lila and then the nurse and finally looked up and said, “Thank you,” to God.

Emma and Brody sat in front of the fire place in his home in England, it was their first night and they had planned to spend two weeks,
London’s entire Christmas vacation there. Lila and Mark would be joining them the day after Christmas. A gift from Emma and Brody. Troy would be joining them on Christmas Eve with Caroline and Henry. Emma had been surprised when Brody had suggested it. He knew it was weighing on her heart being away from her family and keeping London from her father on a day like Christmas.

“You tired Em?” Brody asked as he walked in catching her yawning as he set a glass of wine on the floor next to her.

“Sit with me?” she smiled.

Brody sat with his back against the couch and pulled her back against his chest and held her.

“It’s beautiful here,” she smiled up at him.

“I have always enjoyed it, very peaceful and relaxing. I have
literally fallen asleep in front of this fire at least twice during each holiday I have taken,” he said gazing down at her.

Emma smiled and pulled his arms tighter around her waist.

“I have always wondered what it would be like…” Brody stopped.

“Go on,” she rubbed his hand gently.

Brody smiled, “What it would be like to have someone to truly share this with.”

“But you and Ariel spent time here right?” Emma looked at him over her shoulder.

“Sure, a few times. When I spent time here she would normally be working. It wasn’t lively enough for her. To me it’s peaceful, it’s home. I feel much the same comfort here as I do at our home in the states. It’s always brought me tranquility when I have been here alone. But with you and London here I have that same peace, the serenity, but it’s so full in here Em, so full,” he sighed as he held his hand to his heart.

Emma felt her eyes warm and a pain in her chest. She could not possibl
y ask for anything more than Brody was in a man. Brody was beautiful, funny, deeply emotional, protective, and absolutely, completely, the love of her life.

Emma knew there were parts of him that were still a mystery to her, they had only been together for three months, still she knew him. She knew his heart and she knew he had given it to her to hold and cherish forever. Emma planned to do just tha
t forever and as sure as she was about that she knew he too would hold and cherish hers.
