Seth bit his bottom lip, his gaze heated as he looked over n me. “Miracles do happen,” he said and then he opened the refrigerator to pull out a blue bottle of water.
“Yeah,” I said, rocking back and forth on my feet, not bothering to hide my smile. “Hey, I got some news.”
“What news?” he asked as he twisted the cap off and chugged his water back.
Leyed his throat as he guzzled without taking a breath. When he was finished he tossed it in the garbage and lifted an arm to tug at the back of his sweat dampened shirt, pulling it up and over his head before he settled his elbows on the kitchen counter.
Yes, sir, miracles do happen.

Maybe even sex in general, at least until the insemination is successful.”
Seth heaved a sigh and rubbed the back of his neck. “Wow. Um well, didn’t think things had gotten so far. I mean, I didn’t realize it was to that point yet. I know you said a week ago that this y
