body tenses as I prepare for him to release. His groans increase and at just the right moment, I pull back and watch as hot semen spurts all over my chest, mixing with the steamy water around us. I continue stroking him, slowly the way I know he likes, and smile as his eyes open and gaze at me, heavy with sexual release.
    Enzo pulls me towards him by the arms and kisses me, passionately, full of longing and love. Holding my face between his hands, he whispers, “Thank you, amore. That was amazing and wonderful. Just like you are, my love.”
    I lay my head on his chest as the hot water falls over us. I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like crying again. Is it because I can’t continue? I can’t make love to this beautiful man. I can’t let him inside of me to make another baby. Wrapping my arms around him, I pull him tight, doing my best to quiet my sobs.
    “Amore, what’s wrong? Why are you sad?”
    “I don’t know,” I cry.
    Enzo reaches forward and shuts off the shower water, then leads me out in the bathroom. Wrapping a fluffy white towel around me, he lifts me effortlessly and carries me to our bed, lying me down softly. He climbs on the bed and hovers over me, gazing into my eyes.
    “I love you, Ava, more than words can express.”
    “I know,” I whisper.
    He moves my towel away, but I attempt to stop him. “What are you doing, Enzo?”
    “You have no idea how much I want you right now, how much I want to taste you, how I desire to be inside of you again. For now, I just need to see you, and feel your skin, and be close to you and make sure you feel my love.”
    He pulls the towel away again and this time I let him. I have no idea what he’s doing, but I want this closeness between us. More than anything.
    Enzo’s hands run down my body, gently massaging my shoulders, my arms, my stomach. He plants sweet kisses up and down the length of my body, brushing his lips against my skin. It’s far more sensual than sexual and my heart feels ready to burst with love for this man.
    “You are fucking gorgeous, you know that?” he asks.
    “Thank you,” I say softly as new tears rolls down my cheeks. My eyes meet Enzo’s and I feel a stab through my heart as I see the tears that fill his eyes.
    “It hurts me that you’re sad and that you’re hurt. I would give anything to take it away for you. You know that I would, right?”
    “Yes, Enzo. I know. You can’t though. No one can.”
    “I know and it kills me.” He lies down next to me, brushing his fingers over my stomach. “Ava, the only thing that matters to me is making you happy, but I don’t know how to do that anymore. I don’t know how to bring your smile back. I know it’s only been a few days and I pray that with time, we’ll be the way we used to be.”
    “We will,” I say quietly, not sure I believe it at all.
    “I love who we are as a couple.”
    “I do too, my prince.”
    We lay quietly for a while, our fingers entwined together, letting our love envelop us.
    “Just wait until those six weeks are over,” Enzo says, lightening the mood. “I’m going to do unimaginable things to you.”
    “Oh, I bet I can imagine some things.”
    Enzo rolls over and kisses my nose. “Are you sure you’re up for work today?”
    “Yes, I really want to go. I’ll be careful.”
    “Va bene.”
    I climb out of bed then head into my closet to pick out some work clothes. I pull a navy dress off the hanger and wonder if it will fit. I bought it a few weeks ago hoping it would work as I got bigger. I slide into it and realize it’s hanging off of me. Pulling it over my head, I sigh and throw it on the floor. Next I choose a black skirt. It’s too big also. Fuck. I’m finally a size I thought I would kill for and I hate it. Nothing fits. I dig deeper in my closet and pull out a dress that I love, but has been too small for a couple of years. It’s baby pink with a ruffle around the bodice and its feminine design is what drew me to it. I wore it
