Taming the Beast

(Caroline's POV)

It had been a while since I'd been with Keegan. Between Aiden moving in and the kidnapping business, and the whole 'being in a coma' thing, Keegan and I hadn't been intimate in a long time. After I found Keegan huddled in a corner in my room and we apologized to each other, we made out on the floor for a long time. He was gentle with me; like he was scared I might disappear. I straddled his lap and kissed down his jaw. He smirked and kissed my head as his arm went around me.

"Let's go take a shower," he said softly. I smiled and got off of him. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I felt Keegan's hands slip on to my sides. He pulled on my tank top, bringing it up and over my head. I smiled lightly as I turned to face him. I pulled down his shorts and he did the same to me until I was completely naked. I put my hair up in a messy bun before I stepped into the shower. Keegan followed suit. I sighed in content as the hot water massaged my body. I let my eyes close as I felt a pair of warm lips on my shoulder blade. I giggled and turned to face him. His hands went to my lower back as he pulled me closer to him. I kissed him gently I felt him poke against my stomach. I moaned as he bit my lip and pulled my knee up around his hip. He held me up so I was straddling his hips. His hands gripped my butt as my legs wrapped around his waist. He turned and pressed my back up against the cold shower wall. I sighed and closed my eyes as his lips went to my neck.

"Keegan, I want you," I breathed. He growled and nipped at my neck. I gasped and my eyes shot open as he impaled me on his shaft. I moaned and completely relaxed on him. It was the first time we made love in weeks and it was every bit as amazing. By the time we were done, the water was frigid. We stepped out of the shower and I dried off. I giggled when I felt Keegan's lips against my neck.

"Have I told you lately how much I love you?" he muttered. I smiled and wrapped the towel around my body. He growled before ripping the towel off of me.

"You, sir, have separation issues," I giggled. He spun me around to face him. My giggles halted immediately. His face held longing and hurt. His eyes were completely black, and I wasn't sure what emotion was causing it. I reached my hand up and cupped his cheek in my hand.

"Being without you for that long really messed with me," he practically whispered. I was about to kiss him, but made a beeline for the toilet instead. I hunched over and threw up. I heaved until I could breathe again. Practically panting, I made my way to my sink and rinsed my mouth out before brushing my teeth. Keegan rubbed soothing circles into my back.

"Are you sick babe?" he aside softly. I sighed and took extra time with the mouthwash as I shook my head. After spitting it out, I walked back into my room.

"I've just been throwing up lately," I answered. It was true. I just assumed it was coma related. I couldn't have been more wrong.

"I've just been throwing up lately," Caroline shrugged it off. Something clicked in my brain. The throwing up, the softer and faster heartbeat; it all made since. A big goofy grin made its way on to my face. I laid Caroline down on her bed before I pressed my ear against her stomach and just listened. It was there, as clear as day. Tears pricked my eyes as I smiled at Caroline. She only watched me curiously.

"Listen," I said happily. She did and then her face went to one of shock as she sat up. I sat in front of her and kissed her hands repeatedly.

"We're having a baby," she whispered. I nodded like crazy before I pulled her into a bear hug. I let out a happy chuckle as Caroline just tried to come to grips with what was happening. I pulled away from her suddenly.

She smiled and wrapped Caroline up in a hug. I only told everyone about the ceremony. I would save the baby news for later. My mom ushered Caroline inside where a bunch of girls automatically took over. I walked with Aiden

They ordered me to shower and shave everything even though I just took a shower. After I was out, they lotioned me down is something that shimmered and gave me a glowing look.

She only used a little powder and blush. She used a dark gray eye shadow and only used a little eyeliner and mascara. She added a light pink gloss to my lips and I was ready. It was customary to do the ceremony barefooted so shoes weren't an issue. The girls scurried away, leaving just me and Lena
