Accept My Baby: A Billionaire BWWM Single Parent Pregnancy Romance by J.A. Fielding

breath. “I knocked you up,
didn’t I?” he said and she shook her head.
    “ It
doesn’t work like that, Rafael,” she said in a low voice.
    “ I
should have used a condom...I should have wrapped up...” Rafael
was spiraling. And Amanda could feel her head exploding. He needed to
stop and he needed to stop soon.
    “ Rafael...”
she started but he was now pacing up and down as she sat on the bed
looking at him. He had his head buried in his hands as he paced up
and down. He was muttering to himself but she just couldn’t
hear him. She had tuned him out as much as she could because she was
trying to figure out how she was going to tell him. They were the
simplest of words – telling him that she was pregnant –
but at the same time, she was also trying not to melt down. She could
not afford to have the only two people in the room melting down.
    “ Rafael...seriously,
you need to calm down,” she said as she gently rubbed her
temples.
    “ No,
I should have been more careful and everything...I mean, right
now...” he wouldn’t stop.
    She looked at him and
sighed loudly before she stood up. She walked up to him and held his
head in her hands and he suddenly went silent.
    “ Look
at me, Rafael,” she said as she took his hand in his but he
still looked scared and confused.
    They walked towards
the bed and he looked at her. She could tell just by looking at him
that he was still freaked out. It was cute. A little too cute.
    “ Rafael,”
she started as she looked at him. “I am pregnant,”
she finally admitted and he looked at her for a long minute before he
ran his fingers through his hair.
    “ I
knew it,” he muttered under his breath.
    “ I
should have told you about it,” she whispered. “I am
sorry but I should really have told you.”
    “ Wait,
what do you mean, you should have told me?” he asked and she
sighed loudly. “You mean that I am not…” he
started before she shook her head.
    “ You
should have really payed more attention to the biology classes.”
    “ I
was more about physics and chemistry,” he said and she smiled.
    “ Of
course you were.”
    She expected nothing
less of him.
    “ You
did not do this to me,” she said in a soft voice. “I
promise you…I am at least a month and a half along.”
    “ So
your ex…is the father?” he asked and she nodded.
    “ Unfortunately,”
she whispered.
    “ I
am not sure what I am supposed to say here but do you already know
what you are going to do about it?”
    She forced out a
laugh and shook her head.
    “ I
don’t really know what I am going to do. I want to keep the
baby but at the same time I want to have the situation handled…it’s
something that I have not really figured out yet. I mean, I have been
thinking about it but at the same time I can’t help but wonder
what this means if I decide to keep the baby.”
    “ It’s
just a baby. It has nothing to do with whatever drama is going on
with you and your ex.”
    “ I
know but at the same time all I can think of is the fact that every
single time I will be looking at the poor little thing, I will only
be seeing Brett.”
    Rafael reached for
her hand and raised it to his lips.
    “ Well,
I won’t,” he said in a soft voice and she shook her head.
    “ What
do you mean?” she asked.
    “ Well,
I have been with a lot of women…” he started and she
sighed.
    “ You
should really stop reminding me that.”
    He smiled.
    “ I
know it is not something that you want to hear but the truth is that
I have never found someone who excites me about life the way you do…I
mean, all I want to do when I wake up in the morning is see you.”
He gently ran his thumb over her knuckles. “All I can ever
think of nowadays is just you, Amanda.”
    She shook her head
and sighed.
    “ I
honestly don’t know what to say…I mean you are a young
man in your prime and I…” her voice trailed off. “I
am about to be a thirty eight year old single mother.”
    “ So
what?”
    “ Rafael,
I
