Summary: “Want to bet on it?”
Author’s Notes: This has been written for theechochorus, a multi-fandom drabble community.
“It’s going to be a girl,” Nathan stated as he and Haley lay in bed. The T-shirt she was wearing was pushed up under her breasts exposing her slightly rounded belly, his hand lightly caressing her soft, smooth skin.
“Oh really? How can you tell?” she asked, arching an eyebrow as she enjoyed his gentle touch.
“I don’t know… I just feel it.”
“Well, seeing as the Scott family seems to be notorious for producing boys, I think you just might be wrong.”
“Want to bet on it?”
“You want us to bet on the sex of our unborn child?”
“Uh…” Looking into her rich, chocolate brown eyes, Nathan couldn’t quite tell what her response was going to be and he figured backtracking mightn’t be a bad idea. “I was just jok—”
“How much?” Haley asked, giggling at the surprised look on his face.
“Ten bucks?”
“How about fifty?”
“Wow, you’re sounding pretty confident there, Hales. Is there something you’re not telling me?”
“Like what?” she asked, raking her fingers through his thick hair and then running her blunt nails along the back of his neck.
“Like you know for sure the baby’s going to be a boy.” He couldn’t help the tiny shiver that ran up and down his spine at her ministrations. There was something about the feel of her fingertips stroking along the nape of his neck that made him putty in her hands.
“And how would I know that when you - and Jamie - have been with me at all of the doctor’s appointments we've had so far?"
“Okay, there is that,” he conceded.
“I just figured we should make the bet interesting but if you can’t afford fifty dollars…” Haley teased.
Nathan shook his head as he laughed. “Okay, big spender, fifty it is. You want to shake on it to seal the deal?”
Cupping the back of his head and directing his face towards hers, she chuckled as she leaned forward slightly. “Oh, I think we can do better than that.” Covering his mouth with her own, she kissed him hotly, gasping when his large hand slipped beneath her T-shirt to cup her bare breast.
He couldn’t have agreed with her more and smiling against her lips, he whispered, “Oh yeah, we definitely can.”
