Find Me

18. Goodnight

Hero POV:

I've been to four different locations so far, my parents house which was a quick in and out situation, the school gym where I reminisced about when me and Jo started dating, the drive in that has memories that give me tight pants just thinking about it and the cafe, where me and Jo's new life started together. The cafe gives me such a bittersweet feeling, bitter from the representation of Jo running away and hiding in plain sight, but sweet, cause that's where I ended up finding her.

As of now I'm running low on gas and I might be spending a night or two in jail but it's all worth it to see what is going to come out of this adventure. Honestly, I just want to see Jo, I don't need anything other than to just be able to spend time with her.

I feel ready to settle down with her, we have a son, hopefully more kids coming, and so I really want to tie the knot and move into a bigger place. Of course we would keep this apartment, it has so many memories, but I'd really like to have a actual home with her and Henry.

The last note has instructed me to somewhere I haven't been before though, it's just a address. Most likely a house address. I put it in my gps and follow the instructions, swerving through the nightly New York traffic of taxis filled with stumbling drunk girls, fancy BMW's driven by chauffeurs containing the wealthy elite of New York and normal cars filled with normal people coming home from work to their families.

Her words in the last letter ring in my mind.

'You wanted to experience it, now you can.'

What did Jo mean by that? It's nagging at me, almost making me rear end a few people, I've gotten flipped off at least a dozen times by now. But even with it all, I'm excited.

Trying to focus on driving, I click the radio on and allow the shitty radio station music to play through my car. I notice how it has me driving towards the edge of the city, odd.

An hour and a half later I find myself driving on a dirt road through a open field of healthy green grass, with tall flowers blowing in the breeze. The stars are out, I've never seen them this bright before, in the city they are dulled out but here they are as bright as ever.

It's mesmerizing and takes my breath away, but the thing I see next is really what takes my breath away.

A white farm house with a modern twist and golden lights pouring from the windows fill my vision. I'm in awe of the place. The sound of gravel emits as I pull into the driveway, as if on cue Jo sashays out from the house with a grin on her face and a silky white robe covering her body.

I bet my face looks like a love sick puppy as I exit the car in a daze with a wide open mouth. When I reach her I takes her hands lightly into mine, "what's this?" I ask, looking up at the house.

"Our new home," she whispers and runs her hand down my chest. "But that's not the only surprise." She takes my hand and leads me into 'our new home'.

The inside is very open, (a/n: I'm horrible at describing homes so just imagine what you want it to look like)

Josephine leads me over to what I am assuming is the living room, but when we arrive I gasp. It's covered in candles and flowers while the floor has what looks like a really comfortable makeshift bed with a small white gift bag sitting atop.

"That's for you, open it," she tells me softly once she notices I've seen it. I let go of her hand and walk over to it and pick it up. When I take out the contents, I feel tears start to pour from my eyes.

A positive pregnancy test.

When I turn around to face her, I find her, kneeling on the ground with a ring box in her hand.

"Jo..."

"I know it's usually the guy that does this, but I just couldn't wait any longer. Hero, will you marry me and become my husband?" She opens the box in her small hands to reveal a shinny silver ring engraved with three diamonds.

I sweep her up into my arms, eliciting a squeak from her. "Of course, yes, yes, yes!" I pepper her face in kisses as she giggles. "Like OMG, I need to go find my dress! And figure out the color scheme oh oh I can't forget the cake!" Josephine cuts of my comical rambling by punching me in the arm. "Ouchie baby," I continue doing my stuck up girl voice.

"Quit it," she giggles and covers her face with her hands. I grip both her wrists in one of my hands and remove the covering from her face.

"There she is," I breathe with a smile once I see her red chubby cheek face.

SMUT WARNING ⚠️

Ever so slowly I lean in, placing my lips onto hers, we move our lips in sync.

Jo is still hoisted up in my arms, so she adjusts herself so that her legs are now wrapped around my waist instead of me holding her bridal style. She takes ahold of my hair in between her fingers, pulling my face as close to hers as she can get it.

Kneeling down onto the makeshift bed bellow us, I place her on her back, and lean away so that I can remove my shirt. When I do, her hands immediately fly up to rake over my hard stomach, then her hands find their way to my narrow hips, where Jo grips and caresses them.

"Enjoying yourself?" I ask, staring down at her concentrated face.

Josephine bites her bottom lip and nods, not making eye contact with me but still staring at my body. I lean over and place my forefinger under her chin, lifting so that her eyes connect with mine right before I go in to kiss her some more. Which is momentarily stopped by us separating to remove our clothing.

Once... naked, I'm right back on top of her about to enter her before I stop, "is it alright to have sex with you being pregnant?" I ask, honestly worried I'm gonna hurt her or the baby.

She chuckles, "yes, I googled it before you got here." She pauses then says, "just don't go too hard just to be sure."

I nod, "alright." Then slowly and softly I push into her, making sure not to be rough in any way. My concentration is broken once I hear laughing.

"You don't have to act like I'm glass, Hero. I won't break and neither will the baby." She attempts to move herself faster and more firmly on me, but I stop her.

"Joooo," I whine, "I don't wanna take the chance of you guys getting hurt," I try to reason.

She pushes me off of her and crosses her arms, "whatever, then I don't wanna have sex at all." Jo faces her back towards me.

"Jo-"

"Goodnight, Hero." Her voice is firm, leaving no room for argument.

"Goodnight," I sigh and blow out the candles before laying back down.
