Coffee Mess

A Small Wedding

When I see the ring I gasp, putting my hand on my mouth

"Oh my God, Logan this is hella expensive!!" I say looking at him with wide eyes

"Says the woman who makes 4 times what I make..." he says playfully

"Irrelevant! This must have cost u 3 paychecks!"

"It doesn't matter, S! All that matters is u saying yes! And, please, do so because I think I'm starting to look like a fool!" he says looking at me with his puppy eyes

"Of course it's a yes, u dumbass!" I say and he gives me one of his biggest smiles, before falling on me, hugging me and making me squeal and then laugh, as the others start clapping and shouting.

"I finally wore her down! Now she has to put up with my bs with no easy way out!!" Logan exclaims proudly, making everyone laugh and me pull away and slap his chest playfully, playing offended. He then laughs and pulls me into a kiss, making everyone clap and shout again.

"Ok, people, calm down!! It won't be anything fancy! Just a simple wedding at city hall, with all y'all and then just a dinner party at the house! That's it!" I say and Logan bows

"Whatever my queen wants!" he says and then kisses me again. Our kiss gets interrupted by Aurora crying over the intercom, making me go to her.

When she's fed and back asleep, I go back outside and Logan proceeds by putting the ring on my finger and we finally start having dessert.

~~~

When we go back home, late in the afternoon, I put the twins to sleep and then I breastfeed Aurora once again. After she falls back asleep, I finally get to change and prepare for work tomorrow. As I'm standing in front of the mirror trying to find what to wear tomorrow, Logan comes and wraps his arms around my waist from behind and leaves a kiss on the side of my head.

"This looks nice!" he says looking at the mirror the jumpsuit I'm holding in front of my body

"It does because I'm not wearing it! If I put it on, it will look hideous..."

"Why do u say that?"

"Because it's very tight and my body isn't ready for it!"

"I think that if u put it on, exactly because it's tight, it will hold everything in the right place! And since it's dark blue, it will hide anything that might not sit well" he says and I tilt my head thinking about it

"What the hell, I'll wear it!" I say and hang it outside the closet

"There's gonna be a photoshoot in the morning... " he says and I smile, turning to look at him

"How can u be this calm and supportive and all that after all those years with me? Even my dad wasn't able to maintain such calmness after so many years of dealing with my bullshit!" I say putting my hands on his chest

"I have found the way to calm u and say all the right things in order to have the least amount of whining!"

"That's also a perspective!" I say and we chuckle, before leaning in for a kiss

"I want to tell u something I thought about..."

"Oh God, what now?" I ask completely done

"Who's done with whose bullshit now?" he asks jokingly

"Obviously me! Come on, spill it so I can just go to sleep and forget it!"

"This u're gonna like: I thought about what u said last night about not wanting any more children..."

"I'm not ruling it out! I just need a break!"

"Of course, I understand! That's why I thought about having a vasectomy"

"What?"

"Yes! I don't want u to take pills or use another method, because I've read that they all have side effects, so I decided that I should be the one taking the bullet... Especially since u're the one that goes through all the shit; the periods, the pregnancy, the labor! Having a vasectomy is the least I can do!" he explains, making me tear up and hug him

"I love u so much! I don't know how it's possible after 17 years, but I feel like, in times like this, my love for u only grows bigger and stronger!"

"Trust me, I know! There are days that I look at u, and I just think of how it's possible to love u so much and how, day by day, I love u more! Even if u just sit there reading a book or cooking or breastfeeding!"

"God, whenever I see u playing with the kids, I want to cry!" I say pulling a little away to look at him

"I think this is a universal thing... "

"It is, but it hits different when it's your own husband with your kids!"

"I won't argue with that! It works in my favor anyway!" he says cockily and I chuckle

"Will u ever stop being cute and  hot at the same time?"

"Have u seen how fine I'm aging? Of course not!" he says and I slap his arm. Then, he puts his hands on the back of my thighs and picks me up, making me wrap my legs around his waist, as he pushes me back on a wall

"Thank God, I thought we wouldn't have sex tonight!" I say looking at him in the eyes

"I proposed to u few hours ago, of course we're gonna fucking celebrate!" he replies before crashing his lips on mine.

Indeed, a few months later, we got married at the city hall, with Jess and Logan's best friend, Ryan, as witnesses. After that, we had organized a party at our house, with catering and a small band. We also managed to take a couple of weeks off work to go for our honeymoon. We couldn't leave our kids behind, of course, so we took Logan's mom with us to help us spend more time together with our minds at ease.

~~~

"Are u scared?" I ask him as we wait for the doctor to call him in for his vasectomy

"Scared, no, anxious, yes... I read about it and some feel pain after, some feel nothing, so I don't know what to expect..."

"Well, whatever it is, we will deal with it. Are u sure u want to go through with it, though? I don't want u to do it just to get the weight off of me..."

"I'm doing it for both of us. We agreef that we don't want any more kids, at least for the time being, and we shouldn't have the anxiety of u getting pregnant every time we have sex..."

"Alright then. Thank u, though, it's a big relief!" I say, taking his hand. He smiles at me and leans in for a kiss.

A few minutes later, the doctor calls him in.

"I'll be right next to u when u're done..." I reassure him and after giving him a kiss, he goes to get prepped...
