Drew was standing at the end of the aisle anxiously awaiting Lola. As soon as she saw her being escorted by her mother, Drew could feel her eyes swell up. Kate looked beautiful, and Lola was a vision in white. Drew hadn't been allowed to see the dress or hear about how Lola was going to do her hair, so Drew was completely surprised and overwhelmed by her bride's appearance. Drew was openly crying by the time Kate and Lola reached where she was standing, but she wore a huge smile. Kate moved to embrace Drew in a tight hug before kissing her cheek affectionately.
"I love you, Drew. You make my little girl so happy."
"I love you too, Katherine." Without further words Kate put Lola's hand in Drew's. Drew smiled at the young blonde. "I love you, Lola." she whispered.
"I love you too, Drew."
The ceremony and reception passed smoothly, and before they even realized it, they were headed off to the city where they would be spending the night before embarking on their honeymoon. Once they were alone in the room, Drew smiled at Lola as she pulled her into an embrace. "Well, Mrs. Emerson-Bailey, I can't believe it."
"Me neither. This whole day has been a dream come true for me, Drew. You are all I ever wanted."
"And I am all yours, Lola, heart, mind, body, and soul."
Lola gave a sexy smile. "It's the body I'm most interested in right now. It's been a long four months."
"Yes, it certainly has, and we have a lot of time to make up."
CHAPTER TWELVE
TWO MONTHS LATER it was in the middle of a sweltering summer. Drew had been devoting a lot of time between her job and the new construction down at the barn. That particular day she had been assisting the contractors with the extension for breeding and training until she saw Lola up the hill standing on the back porch. As she began the long walk up the hill, she saw Lola drinking a tall glass of lemonade and fanning herself with a magazine. Drew's smile widened as she came up the stairs.
"Hi." she greeted Lola.
"Hi yourself." she answered as Drew took a sip of her drink.
"It's so hot out today." Drew mentioned running the cold beverage along her forehead. Lola nodded, still smiling brightly at Drew. "What's with you today? You look like a cat who ate a canary."
Lola laughed as she brought Drew into a hug. Her hands slipped under Drew's sweat-drenched t-shirt to her bare stomach. She smiled up at the older woman. "Drew." she stated dreamily.
"Yes?" curiously Drew inquired, looking at her wife in amusement.
"Guess where I was today?"
"On a hot rendezvous with your mistress?" Drew joked.
Lola slapped her lightly in the stomach with the back of her hand. "No. Guess again."
"On a mad shopping spree with your sister?"
"I wish." Lola teased. "No. I was at the doctor's office."
"Oh really? And what did the doctor have to say to you?"
Lola blushed as she brought their bodies closer, so they were touching everywhere as her hands roamed over Drew's wet back under her shirt. "I'm pregnant, Drew." she whispered gently.
"What? Are you sure?" Drew inquired with obvious surprise and excitement. Lola nodded. "I can't believe it. We only did it twice by ourselves. You mean to tell me that really worked?"
Lola gave a giddy laugh as she nodded. She stroked Drew's chest as she playfully said, "You got me pregnant, Drew."
Drew laughed lightly. "Oh my God. I really did it?"
"Yes, you did, tiger." Lola growled seductively. "You knocked me right up, my stud of a wife."
"Oh, Lola!" Drew exclaimed whirling the younger woman around in her arms gently, as reality settled in her mind. "You've made me so happy. I love you more than I could ever express."
"I love you too, Drew. Thank you for making my life complete."
Leaning in to each other, they shared a kiss of love and hope for the long future of their marriage and family.
