I'm Yours

Emma

Ethan was over at my place, and we were having a movie night when he glanced over at me and said something that would change our lives forever.

You see, Ethan and I were best friends. There was never really anything romantic between us before, but for some reason the next thing he said to me made complete sense for the two of us.

"We should have a baby."

I glanced at him in complete shock as I took a bite of my popcorn. "Did you just say—Ethan, that makes no sense. We're not even a couple, and we don't live together. I have no idea why you think we can just have a baby together."

He leaned back against the couch before smiling at me. "Those are all things that can change, Em. Plus, friends have babies all the time."

"Yeah, on accident."

"Hey, at least ours would be planned."

Ours. Shut up, Ethan.

"I can not believe I am having this conversation  right now."

"Think about it. We're both financially stable, we're both at a good age to become parents, you and I get along great, it makes sense to me."

"Ethan, people don't have babies together just because they get along great. That's a very intimate and complicated thing that usually only serious couples go through. Plus, what if I got pregnant, and then you fell in love with a different girl while I'm having your child?"

Ethan stood up, gently taking my hands and pulling me so that I was standing. "Emma, why do you think I'm asking you to have a baby with me?"

"I don't know." I said, looking at the ground. Suddenly I felt a spark ignite between us, and I didn't know how to look at him. I mean, he's my best friend. It's scary to fall for your best friend, and just through this conversation I think it's too late to stop myself from falling. It wasn't at the point of love, but I was past the point of no return in the department of feelings.

"Em, look at me." He said, his voice gentle and soft. I looked at him, and his eyes were nothing but warmth. "I really really like you. A lot. I might even kind of love you. That's why I'm asking you. You. You're the only person I'd want a child with. I'm not gonna fall for anyone else. You're my best friend, and I think this could be a good thing. Just consider it. Okay?"

I couldn't say no. Those eyes were like a puppy dog. Plus, Ethan had a point. We'd be good parents together. "Yes. I'll do it."

"You'll consider it, or have a baby?"

"Have a baby." I whispered.

"We're gonna have one?" He asked, suddenly getting super excited about it.

I nodded. "Yeah."

He pulled me into his arms, squeezing me really tightly. "Wow. We're really gonna do this. When do you wanna start trying?"

That was a big question. First off, Ethan and I out of our years of friendship have never hooked up. So the first time was gonna be a big deal, quite frankly with my newfound feelings, I was a little nervous about the thought.

"I guess soon. I mean, we're both in good times in our life that really anytime would be good."

I was rambling. Why so nervous, Emma?

"Emma, why are you nervous about this? It's just me. Don't be scared. This is supposed to be an amazing experience. Don't let nerves overcome you."

I took a deep breath.

"See? That's better. I'll make sure this is relaxing for you." Ethan said. I smiled. He's so caring. I guess that's something I really admire about him.

As he ran off to my room, I thought about everything that just happened. Ethan and I are gonna have a baby. I mean, obviously I'm not pregnant yet, but it's probably gonna happen very soon.

Now that I thought about it, I knew everything would be okay as long as Ethan was with me through it. He already made it clear that he would be.

When I walked into my room, he had some candles lit and some relaxing music playing. It was actually kind of romantic.

"Does this set the mood for you?" He asked.

"It's perfect."

He walked over to me, pulling me closer before leaning down and kissing me for the first time. I don't know why I was so nervous a few minutes ago, because kissing Ethan felt like the easiest thing in the world. His lips were addicting, and all of my worries went away.

I loved the feel of his tongue against mine, and his hands on my body as we moved towards the bed.

Lowering me down as he climbed over me, our lips broke apart for a second, only for him to attack my neck with kisses and nibbles.

It felt good. Good enough to know that there was no turning back, and I was in this for the long haul with Ethan.

Not to mention when our clothes came off. That just confirmed it further.

The way his warm skin felt against mine, his kisses on my skin, and the way he made sure everything was as perfect as it could've been for me.

He made me feel so comfortable, and so safe, and he made sure that he was giving to me what I needed. Over and over again until I couldn't take it anymore.

Once I clenched around him, he came with a groan as his lips pressed to my neck.

"Damn." He said as he collapsed next to me. Both of us panting and sweaty messes. "That was awesome."

"I think I'm ruined for anyone else." I admitted.

Ethan glanced over at me and smiled. "Me too."

I smiled at him, and he leaned over to kiss me. It was a slow, passionate kiss. I loved it, and I wanted it to last forever.

"Emma." He whispered. "I don't ever want to be with anyone else. I just want you."

I climbed on top of him, so that I was straddling him before I gently kissed his lips. "Good because I don't want to share you."

He smiled, kissing me again. "Does that mean you're mine?"

"I'm yours." I said, kissing his neck.
