�Don�t worry about it,� Valondra said. �You don�t have to apologize for her.�
�But I want to.�
�And I don�t want ya to. It was her and not you.�
�Yeah, but you�re my fianc�e and my mom should treat ya with respect and lots of it.�
�Well my parents don�t treat you with respect so I guess it doesn�t really matter.�
�But you have respect for my parents and you should get that same respect from them.�
�It�s their choice. Your dad doesn�t have a problem with me.� They looked at each other. �It�s just your mom. I didn�t do anything to her.�
�Yes you did.�
�What�d I do?�
�Took her son away.�
�I didn�t take you away.�
�She thinks you did.�
�Everyone finds that special someone and end up falling in love. Love is a natural thing humans do. You can�t stop it no matter how much and how hard you try�believe me, because I know.� She looked at him and smiled. �I tried to stop myself from falling in love with you, because I wasn�t ready, but it didn�t work. I fell in love with you and I�m glad I did, despite your mom hating me and my parents hating you.� She kissed him.
�It�s kind of like �Romeo and Juliet� don�t ya think?�
�Yeah; I guess it is.�
�But of course we�re not going to kill ourselves to be with each other.�
�No way.�
�We�re together and that�s that.�
�Exactly.� They kissed.
�Why didn�t you tell me you�re a bastard?�
�You�re a jerk.�
�I�m kidding.�
�I guess it don�t really matter what kind of child I am. It doesn�t matter if I was created out of love, lust, like, hate, or whatever. All that matters is that our child was created out of love.�
�Yes he was.�
�It�s a she, Carter.�
�You only wish.�
�I told you, Nicky, it�s a girl; Jacqueline Belle.�
�Boy.�
�Girl.�
�Boy.�
�Girl and no arguing.�
�But��
�I don�t want to hear it. You got me pregnant so I have the say so.�
�It takes two, Princess. Or weren�t you there?�
�No.� She laughed and kissed him. �I was off with Tom Cruise.�
�Of course you were.�
�I still love you though.�
�And I love you.� They kissed again.
�Maybe we should get married before the baby comes.�
�Why?�
�So our child ain�t referred to as a bastard. I know what it�s like and I don�t want my child growing up like that.�
�They won�t.�
�You don�t know that.�
�Our child is going to grow up in a loving environment and is not going to be called a bastard.�
�I want to get married so they�re not called that, but I don�t want to get married so early, because I ain�t ready.�
�Then we can just get married in July like we plan to. We�ll still have a couple months until the baby comes and we don�t need to rush the wedding just because we�re having a baby.�
�But I want us to enjoy our honeymoon.� She grinned. �I�ll be six months and only care about one thing and that�s having this baby.�
�I�ll make it worth your while.�
�I�m sure you would.�
�If you�re not ready to get married we don�t have to. If you just want to wait until the baby comes we can. We don�t have to get married in July if you don�t want. We don�t have to get married until next year if ya want.�
�But what about you?�
�I have you so it doesn�t really matter when the wedding is. I say the sooner the better, but whenever you�re ready. I want it to be under the right circumstances and not the wrong.�
�It will be.�
�Good.�
�I just don�t want my child to be called a bastard.�
�They won�t. If my mom wants to think of her grandchild as a bastard then that�s her problem.�
�You could talk to her about it.� He nodded. �And about me.�
�She�s not going to say anything.�
�Maybe not, but just in case.� They looked at each other. �I�m very sensitive about it and I hate when it�s mentioned.�
�Ok I�ll talk to her.�
�I try to forget it, but people mention it in other ways and I hate it.�
�Awe, my poor baby. I�ll make you feel better.� He kissed her and laid her back in the sand.
�Can�t you have a conversation with me without getting all frisky and horny?� He smiled.
�Um, no.�
�I didn�t think so. No wonder I�m pregnant.� He smiled and kissed her. �Can�t you at least try?�
�No.�
�Why not?�
�Because it�s you. You speak to me in many ways, Princess, and it just turns me on.�
�How do I talk to you?�
�Your eyes, body, lips, touch, smile, voice, and everything else about you.�
�Right.�
�I�m serious.�
�For some reason I believe that.� She chuckled.
�You�re going to get it.� He started tickling her and she laughed.
�Nick, stop it.� She continued laughing and he tickled her harder.
�Never, because you asked for it.� He continued torturing her and one of the cell phones ran. �Ugh! Damn it!� He stopped tickling her. �Whose is it?�
�Yours, because my ring tone is Bon Jovi. Duh!� She grinned. �Plus mine is inside.�
�Oh.� He reached in his pocket and got out his phone. �Hello?� He kissed Valondra. �Yeah�hang on.� He gave the phone to Valondra. �It�s for you.�
�Who is it?�
�Trix.�
�Oh.� She took the phone. �Yeah�just relaxing on the beach with my sexy fianc�sure�ok�I�ll see ya in a bit�bye.� She turned the phone off. �She�s coming down.�
�Why?�
�Because she has a situation and she needs me.�
�So do I.�
�Well we have like and hour and a half maybe two hours.� She gave a little smirk.
�I guess we do.� She nodded and kissed him.
