76: Come Hell or High Water
Jarren
It was hard to believe that Jillie was already twenty-eight weeks pregnant. It seemed like time was ticking by quickly, and it wouldn’t be long before our baby was here. I still hadn’t told her that I was going with Christen, even though I was sure she already knew. For some reason, I just couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud. It would only serve to upset her, and I didn’t want that.
Pulling myself from my thoughts, I looked over to the screen from the chair I was sitting in beside the bed Jillie was lying on. Hollie was pointing out the baby’s body parts to us. Excitement was written all over Jillie’s face, and I couldn’t help but smile. It amazed me how far she’d come from the first time Reid told her she was pregnant. She went from deni

Jarren“Baby, whatever you put on, you’ll look great in it,” I called into the closet, while I sat on the bed waiting for Jillie to get dressed.“Shut up, Jarren,” she shot back, and I had to keep myself from smiling.“What exactly is the problem?” I questioned, lying back on the bed.“My pants don’t fit, and my shirts are way too tight now,” she responded, walking out of the closet. I looked over at her and couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. She was almost thirty-one weeks, and it was completely noticeable. It was as if she’d just popped. Sitting back up, I held my arms out, and she walked into them. She laid her head on my shoulder as I rubbed her back. I didn’t need her getting upset right now. We would have enough of that to come in the next f
Protected 78: A Daddy's Girl
Jarren Long after Kaileeh returned to the house, I sat on the bench, staring into the trees. There was so much going on around me, and for the first time, I felt helpless, crippled by the intensity of the situation. It didn’t seem that I could catch a break. When I thought I had one thing under control, something would happen to make it more difficult, or something else would come up altogether. Dread was something that I was beginning to feel quite often, and that was rare for my kind. Life was constantly surprising people, but I felt as if I’d had my fair share of surprises in the three hundred and twenty-eight years I had been alive. Someone, somewhere, thought differently. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I
Protected 79: You Should Tell Her
JillieThanksgiving dinner was absolutely exhausting, and it was all due to my aunt Kassie. She just had they way about her. Jarren had been right, and though I didn’t condone the way he brought it up, he’d hit the nail on the head. Misery loved company and Kassie was quite miserable. Kaileeh and I were now sitting in my living room watching aLifetimemovie. She hadn’t wanted to be around her mom and decided to stay with Jarren and me instead until they flew out Sunday morning. I was tempted to ask her what was going on between her and Garret, but Jarren had assured me that it was something they needed to work through on their own. So just like with the Rian and S
Protected 80: Golden Sweetheart
JillieI sat in the front row with Jarren and about fifteen guards surrounding us. It was the first time we’d ever had to have protection around us, other than our royal wedding. Well, it was the first time that I could actually see them. Jarren informed me that they were there every time we went out or I went out without him and other people around. It was cold in the building, and even with all of the people surrounding me, it was still freezing, probably because their body temperatures were in the fifties. Jarren took off his suit jacket and gave it to me. I nestled into it and lay my head on his shoulder. For some reason, I had thought the Golden Sweetheart Awards would be like something you see on television, and in a way, I guess it was. Everyone nominated for something sat down to a n
Protected 81: Never-ending Energy
JillieTen days. That’s what was left until Christmas. Ten days, and we were just now putting up and decorating a tree. Jarren was sitting on the couch opening the different boxes of ornaments and looked so sexy. He was dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a white tee shirt, but I was utterly turned on. Dropping thebox,I was holding onto the floor, I got up from the armchair and walked over to the couch. Taking the box out of his hands, I tossed it to the side and straddled him, which surprisingly wasn’t that hard considering I was thirty-four weeks pregnant. I didn’t give him time to ask what I was doing. I simply attacked his lips with mine. Usually, I would let him take control
Protected 82: Testing My Energy Level
JarrenJillie was seriously testing my energy level. In the last two days, I’ve made love to her more times than most newlyweds did on a weeklong honeymoon. Her sexual appetite had skyrocketed, and if I thought she was insatiable before, she was more so now. I didn’t mind; I wasn’t complaining, but I knew I would have to tell her no at some point. I would have to talk to Hollie and see when it became unsafe for the baby. Until then, I would continue to give her what she wanted. At the moment, however, I was happy she was taking a nap. With eight days left until Christmas, I still had so many things that I wanted to get her. She was making it somewhat hard, though. I spent most of my time in bed with her, and I really needed to go out and get the rest of her presents. Not to
Protected 83: I Didn't Break You
Jarren“Baby, what are you doing?” I questioned as Jillie stuck her hand into my back pocket. We’d arrived to meet Mason and Alyx just a few minutes ago and were all standing in the middle of the shopping plaza. She pulled my wallet from my back pocket, opened it, and took out one of my debit cards. Then, she handed me the wallet, and I put it back into my pocket. She dropped it into the side of her purse and grabbed my belt loops.“What’s my limit?” she asked, and I sighed, shaking my head. She had been spending so much on baby clothes and other things lately that I jokingly told her once that I was going to give her a limit. Obviously, she took me literally.
Protected 84: Rip Him A New One
JillieI sat on one of the barstools and watched Alyx and Jarren move around the kitchen. Neither of them would let me help. In Jarren’s mind, I shouldn’t be on my feet since I was almost thirty-six weeks pregnant. To my utter horror, not only did Alyx agree with him, but Mason did as well. I knew that you weren’t supposed to be on your feet a lot when you got further into a pregnancy, but Jarren had it in his mind that I wasn’t supposed to be on my feet at all. I was honestly surprised that he hadn’t just taken to carrying me around everywhere. Hehadtaken to waiting on me hand and foot, and I’m not going to say I didn’t like it, but a girl has to maint
