CHAPTER 43
Before we left for New York, we stopped by Mason and Landon’s apartment so I could give them their gifts and show off my gorgeous ring.
They made us some Mimosas and an elegant breakfast before we headed to Connors plane.
Denny was there sitting in a seat when we arrived.
I ran to him and gave him a hug.
“You knew didn’t you?”
He smiled and kissed me on the cheek, “Of course I knew and congratulations.”
We arrived in New York and back to Connors penthouse.
The Christmas holiday was beautiful and well spent with family and friends.
Connor and I spent New Year’s Eve hosting a party at the Waldorf Hotel with about 200 people.
We rented a room for the night and made passionate love.
He wrapped his arms around me as I laid my head on his chest.
“What’s wrong babe?”
he asked.
I looked up at him, “Nothing, what makes you think something is wrong?”
He lightly smiled and ran his finger across my lips, “I can tell when something is bothering you.”
I sighed and laid my head back down.
“Talk to me Ellery; tell me what’s on your mind.”
I ran my hand lightly across his chest, “What if this trial program doesn’t help me?”
“It will help you.”
I sat up and turned towards the edge of the bed letting my feet hit the floor.
“You can’t be so sure of that Connor.”
He sat up and clasped his hands on my shoulders, “I can be sure because I have faith Ellery.
It’s a new year and a new beginning for us, for our future, and nothing is going to take that away.
You will get better and we’ll be married and have the rest of our lives in front of us.”
I wasn’t so sure and I was scared.
“There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
The seriousness of his tone made me uneasy.
I turned to face him as he pushed my hair behind my ear.
“I’ve made an appointment with my doctor to have my vasectomy reversed.”
My eyes grew wide.
“What? Connor, no you can’t.”
He looked at me with a surprised look.
“Listen to me; I want this because I want a family with you and if we can have our own child that would be amazing.
I’m not saying it will work, but there’s a 50/50 chance and I think we should try it.”
I sighed.
“But my genes suck and you know it.”
He laughed and planted a kiss on my forehead, “Your genes are beautiful.”
I smiled as he took me in his arms.
“I’m just scared.”
“Don’t worry baby, everything will be fine, I promise.”
We stayed in New York for a couple more weeks so Connor could tie up some business deals then headed back to California for my last round of injections.
“Well, this is it Ellery, are you ready?”
Dr.
Murphy asked.
“As ready as I’ll ever be,”
I smiled.
Connor took a hold of my hands and planted them firmly against his shirt.
I smiled as my hands began clutching the fabric with each burning injection.
“One month from today you’ll be back here for blood work,”
Dr.
Murphy instructed.
Connor took my hand and helped me from the bed.
He pulled me into an embrace and whispered in my ear, “Now we wait.”
