BETTER TOGETHER [18+] ✔️

Part 26

We didn't tell anybody we were getting married. Early that morning we got up and packed the car to head to New York. I sat in the back with Ace while Jennifer drove. We had a 5 hour drive ahead of us with a brand new baby, this should be fun.

"How mad do you think everyone is gonna be?" I asked once we got out of Virginia. I was feeding Ace by this time.

"I say about a 7/10, we will have a wedding later on down the road. I just want you to have my last name as soon as possible, I can't keep walking around without being married to you" she smiled at me through the rear view mirror. I blushed at hearing those words.

We weren't doing a normal marriage at the moment, we just wanted my last name to be Jareau. For our wedding "rings" we decided to go with a small finger tattoo instead of getting rings right now. I was going to continue to wear my engagement ring while Jennifer just had the tattoo.

...

"So I kind of did a thing" Jennifer said as we neared New York.

"What did you do?"

"I might have rented us a house in the Hamptons for the next few weeks of our maternity leave"

"Are you serious?"

"I'm serious baby. I wanted us to be alone with Atlas and just be a family without having to worry if the team is going to come by or our parents randomly showing up"

"You're so amazing baby"

"Oh my god.. This house is stunning.." it was so homey. Wasn't too big or too small. I fell in love with it.

"I knew you would, come on let's get little man inside, I know he's tired of the car" I got out the car and grabbed Ace while Jennifer grabbed our bags. I walked around outside before heading inside. I walked around while Jennifer unpacked our bags.

"So, how do you like it? It's amazing isn't it?" Jennifer asked coming into the living room where I was reclining in the chair rocking Ace.

"I love it baby. It feels like home away from home"

"Well, there's something else I wanna tell you"

"You're just full of secrets today aren't you?" I chuckled shaking my head.

"Always. Anyways, what would you say if I were to tell you that we own this house?" I looked at her like she lost her mind.

"Excuse me?" She chuckled at the expression on my face.

"When I asked you to marry me I knew I wanted us to have a home away from home. I wanted us to have a place that was ours if we ever needed to get away from Virginia. A vacation home. I found this searching one night and I emailed my mom about it. Come to find out, my great great grandfather owned this house when he was still alive. We contacted the owners and made a deal. Most of the things in here are original. I want Atlas to have a piece of history when it's his turn to have a family." I had tears running down my face. I have never met anyone like Jennifer in my life.

"God you're amazing" I leaned over and pressed my lips against hers, we didn't pull away until Ace let out a whine between us. Jennifer immediately pulled back and grabbed Ace from me.

"Let me show you your room buddy" I watched as she walked away talking to our son, my heart was so full. I got up and decided to make a grocery list of things we needed brought to the house.

"Are you excited about tomorrow?" Jennifer asked as we laid in bed that night.

"More than excited. I can't wait to have your last name" she pulled me into her arms holding me close.

"I can't wait until you have my last name either. The name Jareau is gonna look so good on you" I smiled and pressed a kiss against her lips.

"I love you and I know I say that a lot but it's true. You've made me the happiest I've ever been in a while. Loving me, caring for me, giving me the most amazing son ever. You're my person and will forever be my person. In this lifetime and the next"

"I love you so much Emily.. Words can't even express the love I have for you"

November 22nd, 2019

We woke up that morning in the best moods we've ever been in. Slight touches here and there as we got ready. The extra steps we took in order to get ready. Our outfits were simple. I wore a navy blue dress that had long sleeves along with some tan heels while Jennifer went with one of her signature pantsuits. We had Atlas dressed in a faux tuxedo onesie along with a light jacket since it is fall now.

After we were ready we made our way down to the courthouse, Jennifer had someone come and record the ceremony for us. We didn't have our own vows, we did the traditional ceremony. After we said I Do we headed down to a botanical garden for pictures.

"I can't believe we actually got married" I said as we walked around the garden, Ace strapped to Jennifer's chest as I leaned into her side.

"I know, feels like I'm dreaming. I actually get to call you my wife. You're my bestfriend, the mother of my child, and now most importantly my wife." We decided to head back home after an hour of walking around. Once back at the house we stripped out of our clothes and into something comfortable before settling down into bed with Ace between us.

Jennifer had her phone air-playing the wedding on to the TV. I cried again at seeing Jennifer hold Atlas during the whole ceremony, the back of his onesie said "Congratulations mommies" and I cried even more when I finally saw it.

"Thank you" I whispered quietly after we turned everything off in the room. We had to be laying there for about 30 minutes before I said that.

"For what baby?" Jennifer turned over towards me.

"For loving me. For cherishing me. For just being you when I met you. You're an amazing human being, an amazing mother, and now an amazing wife. I feel so completely blessed and lucky to have you in my life and in my world. Atlas will always know how much you mean to me and him. He will always know what kind of love we have for one another. So thank you"

"You're more than welcome my Queen" we shared a kiss before I snuggled up against her falling asleep. Atlas was already asleep in his bassinet by the time I finally settled down.
