“It’s okay,” she said, enjoying the feeling of his arms around her. “It’s okay, Nate, don’t worry about it.”

“Can I talk to you?” he said. He looked around. “Alone I mean?”

Ruth walked up to him and said, “Anything you want to say in front of her you can say in front of me.”

Phoebe was, quite frankly, mortified. Ruth had no right to step in the middle like this.

“Who’re you?” asked Nate.

“Nate,” said Phoebe, grimacing as she spoke the next words out of her mouth, “meet my ex girlfriend. Ruth, please get out. Nate wants to talk to me alone, he has a right too.”

Ruth glared at Nate as she left, and Stephanie smiled at Phoebe before she exited herself.

“Now,” said Phoebe, turning to look at Nate. “What did you want to talk about?”

Nate sat down and sighed. “I… Phoebe I wanted to tell you how I feel, but what was your ex girlfriend doing here?”

“She was here to win me back,” said Phoebe. “She wanted me back, whatever that means. I told her that she can’t have me back, but she asked me to think about it. I thought about it and I kind of realized that maybe being with her would be good, because…”

“Because?” said Nate, looking grief stricken.

Phoebe looked away and said, “Because she would love me back, Nate.”

Nate was silent. Phoebe turned to look at him and saw that he had tears in his eyes. “Phoebe,” said Nate, “oh Phoebe, I do love you. I found out that you were here when I called your phone, and I had been calling to tell you that I love you. I had been calling to tell you that I don’t care about the company, that you are the only person that I care about!”

Phoebe felt her heart swell. She could not recall ever having been happier.

“Nate!” she said, throwing her arms around her man. “I can’t believe… I mean I thought… I’m so happy!”

“So what do you say?” said Nate. “Do you think you want to try… actually raising this baby together?”

Phoebe smiled and kissed him on his lips. “I would love that, Nate. I really would.”

*****

Nate carried Phoebe and laid her onto the bed. The doctor’s insisted that she was perfectly fine but Nate was still not convinced. He wanted the mother of his child to be as happy and safe as possible, so he refused to let her walk on her own.

Ruth had been confused about the whole situation, but Phoebe had told her, very firmly, that she would call her. Right now, all she wanted was to be with her man, to have him hold her and to hold him back. It was a lovely feeling to be back in Nate’s arms, and Phoebe was infinitely glad to be feeling this way.

Nate kissed her softly and then with more passion.

“I love you,” she whispered in his ear. “Oh God, Nate, I love you so much.”

“I love you too,” he moaned, his voice hoarse from how loudly he had screamed while coming. “I love you too, baby, I promise.”

Nate kissed her lips and gently sucked on her lower lip. Phoebe moaned. This was perfect. Everything about this was perfect.
