Secret Marriage To My Brother's Best friend Book 2: chapter 52
SPINNING OUTDELILAHI watch Miles leave the house as my ears ring, clutching the counter to keep me standing. Why did I tell him that? The plan was to sit down and just talk it out so we could have the time to sort through it.He asked me about coffee, and I almost lost my mind, running to take a nap at the first suggestion. I was tired, but I left the kitchen as fast as possible to get away from him. It was such a good sleep and something I needed, but reality came back quicker than I expected it to.I have an hour or so before Lola wakes up. In that time, I need to calm the fuck down and figure this out, so I start by taking a long drink of my cold water. I cried all night when I found out about the baby and Alli didn’t leave my side. It felt like enough tears for a lifetime, but there is plenty more to come and I wipe one away now.Andrew will want to kill the man that caused this before he finds out it’s Miles, but that might cause an explosion big enough to rock the world. My pa

I clean the toys, sorting them into a side for dolls and one for stuffed animals. She’s growing out of baby toys now, so I have gone through them and made a corner for her little laptop and other learning toys. One end of the couch is right there, so that’s where she sits when Lola doesn’t prefer the floor and I added a cute pillow and blanket to make it her own.I bought a bluetooth speaker to play her favorite songs on my phone when we play and have our dance parties some evenings and I’ve made so many playlists for Lola. I love that little girl and might lose her now. Can I love my baby that much?Will they know each other?This is awful and I wipe my face again.Lola wakes up and I fix her an easy lunch before Miles comes back to quietly take over. He doesn’t tell me to leave, but I know he’s not ready to talk yet by his demeanor. He’ll be at practice tomorrow and everything will be a little more normal with just me and Lola here.I could leave, but I curl up in bed and quietly cr

I know Miles has practice tomorrow later in the morning, so I am going to get up with Lola as I normally would. Nothing will change for that sweet little girl unless he fires me and orders me to leave his house. Miles has that right, but he knows how happy she is and his life will not get simpler with his career.He’ll make the right choice for Lola.I sit against my pillows and turn on the TV. I’ll be awake for a while and might as well kill time. Glancing at my phone, I see texts from my family, but I can’t respond. Until this is out, I’ll feel terrible lying to anyone in my family. There aren’t any from Miles and I think back to last night in his bed. That’s probably the last time we’ll ever share that kind of intimacy again, and it felt fantastic.I’m sure it had a lot to do with pregnancy hormones, but it wasn’t ever just sex with Miles. Not for me. I hate admitting that now, but I was drawn to him and once we slept together, that was it for me. I tried to be strong and failed an

NO EASY WAYMILESIt takes everything I have inside to act normally at practice. The day before, I spent time with Lola and let things sink in to the point it was painful, and I ended up down in the gym later than usual.Delilah is pregnant with my baby. I didn’t see a test, but why would she lie about that? I suspected it with Kim, but she was more than happy to show me her tests and prove the baby was mine. We were only casually dating at the time, after all.I am not even dating Delilah, just sleeping with her behind everyone’s backs. There’s no easy way to explain that, other than making our secret obvious. We messed up.I think about it all night after Lola falls asleep. There’s a part of me that wants to talk to Delilah, but I need a clear head to do that. My emotions are everywhere, and it’s partly because I have feelings for Delilah. It’s not just sex, but what else could it be? Things didn’t work with Kim after Lola came into our lives, so why would this be any different?The

Is this so wrong? Andrew would think so.I sigh and get a beer before heading to my room alone. The idea of texting her is so tempting just to have her come in and make me feel less caged, but I don’t know where Delilah is right now. I just want to feel her in my arms again and work through this mess.I am at the arena most of the following day to prep for the game, and my stomach knots up as it gets closer to the fans arriving. I know Mom will make dinner before and wonder if Delilah would go with Lola. Would they think she looks different?We’re skating and passing the puck to each other, then to our goalie, and I lift my head to see my family arriving. Delilah is holding Lola’s hand and wearing her brother’s jersey, looking beautiful. She really is glowing, and I watch as she sits down before someone nudges me.“They’re all here to cheer us on. We need to win this one.”Andrew grins and waves at his parents and sister, and I nod slowly in agreement.“That we do.”Delilah brings Lol

I glance over towards the dimly lit kitchen to see Delilah there, holding a mug. She’s in leggings and a long-sleeve college sweatshirt, looking like an angel with the halo of light surrounding her.“I thought you went to bed. I’ll leave it.”I step back and swallow the lump in my throat as she nods, moving to sit on the couch.“Is it caffeinated? I remember Kim avoided it when she was pregnant with Lola.”Delilah stares at me for a long moment as if she’s shocked I brought it up.“It’s just something herbal. I’ve been doing some online research and I even have an appointment with a doctor next week. It’s someone a friend recommended, and I guess I can’t put it off.”“When? I’ll go with you.”“Miles, you’re highly recognizable in this city. Do you know the gossip that will start?”I do and that’s why the guys all use the same group of doctors during their wives’ pregnancies. This group keeps things under wraps and makes special arrangements to ensure our privacy, and Kim used them.“Y

US?DELILAHUs? Does Miles want an us? I’ve had daydreams about it, but that’s all they were.“Do you want there to be an us, Miles?”“I’ve never felt this way about someone. A baby certainly shakes things up, but let’s take it day by day and see what happens. I’ll never stop supporting you and the baby, no matter what happens.”His eyes are so gorgeous and sincere, and I want to dive into them. My body propels me forward and I take a careful step in his direction.“Okay. Are you sure? I know you tried this with Kim, and it failed.”“I’ll never regret Lola, just like I won’t regret this new baby no matter what happens. I wasn’t meant to stay with Kim, and it worked out the way it was meant to. It’s tragic she died, but I can’t change it and I am going to make Lola’s life great because of it.”“We’re still keeping it between us?”I don’t want to see what will happen with Andrew yet, or the faces of my parents. They never imagined this for me.“It’s a good idea while we figure out docto

“Do you want a boy or a girl this time, Miles?”“I pictured a boy at the game when you brought Lola to the glass, but I don’t care. It will be great either way.”He looks at the pictures with a soft smile that melts my heart.“You imagined a boy.”I laugh, not believing what I’m hearing. I just wanted Miles to accept the baby and never expected him to be so involved.“Yeah. I saw you with an older version of Lola and this baby boy in your arms at the glass, smiling as you watched me interact with them. He looked like both of us and it was kind of perfect.”This might work. I don’t know how, but it might. We’re in his bed every night if he’s home, but life is normal aside from that. I take care of Lola as much as ever and seeing her as a big sister makes me smile all the time.I’m blessed when I feel better in the second trimester, but we’re still hiding it from everyone else.

EPILOGUEFOUR MONTHS LATERNew LifeDelilahI am watching my husband play in the second round of the playoffs, but unfortunately, I am not in the seats at the arena. Lola is there with his family decked out in everything, but I am curled up on the couch, nursing my son. Mom is here to keep me company and Bobby Warren Adams is settled happily on my chest as I smile down at him.It was a long birth, and he wore me out, but holding him for the first time was magical. Miles cried along with the moms and aunts, and I just stared at him in disbelief. He was a beautiful baby at nine pounds and now at two months old, he has Miles’s eyes and my dark waves from what I can tell. Bobby looks a lot like his sister, and we all love that so much.Lola is an amazing big sister and wants to help with everything, but we keep that to an age-appropriate level. Her brother differs from her baby dolls, and she’ll need to learn how to handle him. I still feel like I haven’t slept some days, but Bobby is get

MY HAPPILY EVER AFTERDELILAHI close the door to the room that used to be mine after cleaning out my things that are now in Miles’s room. His closet is massive, so there’s plenty of room, especially since I’m not a shopaholic. That goes double for the bathroom, and I realize what it’s all about being with an NHL player.Miles is in the living room with Lola as I walk in, and he grins at me.“Ready for today? You should drink some more water.”“I hate water.”I take the bottle from him and sip it, knowing I need it for the ultrasound in an hour. We decide to bring Lola and everyone else is meeting us there; I’ve already demanded lunch when we finish.“Did you find out Lola was a girl before she was born?‘I look at Miles as he glances in the rearview mirror.“We did. It was a great moment, but this will be, too. I’m with the woman I love. Lola being here is going to be so special.”“You’re sweet.”I lean back as we make the drive, rubbing my belly. There’s a bump there now, and I’ve s

“She’s sleeping on the couch.”Brynn sits down on the love seat and looks at us.“You want to be there?”Delilah looks around the room.“If you’re comfortable. It’s not that invasive, honey. Just your stomach.”Mom smiles and I shoot her a grateful look.“Yeah. Sure. I mean, we still have to tell my parents if Andrew doesn’t blab and Mom might want to go. If there’s room, I want you there.”We talk for a while about our plans, and I can tell Delilah is exhausted.“Since Lola is already asleep, just leave her here. Get this mama home for some rest.”Mom smiles at me, and I realize they know everything. As uncomfortable as it was, this feeling is worth it.I walk to the car with Delilah, and she gets into the seat, leaning back.“What a fucking day. Brynn asked about the day Lola found me in your bed and then your mom guessed I was pregnant. She was kind enough to do it at the house, so there’s that.”I chuckle and shake my head.“Do you think Andrew will come around?”I know Delilah is

“She’s my baby sister, Miles. What if it were me with Brynn?”“Delilah is twenty-four, Andrew. She’s a college graduate. This couldn’t happen with anyone better than me because I’ll give all of them the world. You’ve seen it with Lola.”“I’m going to check on her.”“Tone it down in there, Andrew. My granddaughter is in the house.”My dad speaks in a rare firm tone and Andrew and I look at him before my friend rushes inside.“She’s pregnant?”“Yeah, Dad. We were going to tell you soon, but hey. Surprise.”“Do you love her?”“I do. She’s so great with Lola and with me. I can’t imagine life without Delilah in it.”“I agree with that. You have a mess to deal with in there.”“Tell me about it. This wasn’t the plan.”We walk into the house and find a scene happening in front of us. Delilah is crying as Andrew sits close to her and my mom watches as if she’s about to interrupt at any time. Lola is nowhere in sight, and I assume Brynn has her somewhere else in the house.“This is what you wan

THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAGMILESI glance over when I’m taking a break to see that Delilah is gone, along with my mom. Worry instantly fills me and I remind myself I’m in the middle of a game. If something were wrong, they’d let me know.I have been worried since I found out about the baby. Delilah is healthy and handles everything well, but she stays so busy with Lola. What if she’s not getting enough rest?Lola is still there, sitting with Brynn, and they’re both smiling. Soon, there will be another child and I love the idea.“Back out there, Adams. We need another goal.”I snap back to reality and take to the ice when I’m clear, going to the face-off. This game is taking a lot out of me, but I keep moving, trying to make opportunities happen for us.I keep looking over to see the two women absent from the seats. Where are they?We win by a one goal lead and I skate to the bench, feeling drained. Everyone else is celebrating around me and I sink down to the bench, gulping water.“Gre

I wish I believed that, and as he reaches over to stroke my nipple, it makes me forget everything.We’re at the next home game and sitting in the usual seats, waiting for the game to start. It’s been a few days since our talk and Miles wants to plan a family dinner. I’m nervous just thinking about it and get lost in thought as Lola goes to Brynn for some snacks.“Delilah?”I blink and come crashing back to earth, gazing at Miles’s sister.“Yeah?”“Were you sleeping in my brother’s room? Lola just told me she saw you there.”Shit. Lola caught me in there when Miles got up with her and she got through the door before he could close it. It wasn’t the first time she had seen me near his room, and I knew I was being careless.What can I say? I’m busted, aren’t I?“I’ve thought you seemed different lately. If you and Miles are seeing each other, I get it. He needs a woman that’s more like you with Lola and everything going on in his life. Just so you know, she’s talking a lot and better tha

Miles gets Lola settled at the table and I sit down beside Lola while Andrew takes the seat across from us. I share a look with Miles, and I know he thought something worse happened in the kitchen with his eyes. He’s a little much about making sure I’m safe.“This is so good, Del. You cook a lot like Mom.”Andrew takes another large bite of meat and vegetables as I watch Lola shove a diced carrot in her mouth.“I learned from the best. Gram taught her, after all.”It feels good to eat, though I make a small plate. I snack all day now and don’t want to gain too much weight, but everything sounds good.The guys talk shop over the meal, and I listen, eating slowly as I monitor Lola while she eats. I’m already thinking about the carrot cake in the fridge and sigh as I realize I am addicted to food.I am careful about my reactions to anything after that. I can cry in the house alone. Miles can see it. Maybe I’m paranoid, but it feels like everyone is watching me right now. I go to games wi
