6 MONTHS LATER

Christmas

I had just laid Hadyn down for the night after a long weekend at Sidney's parent's home for his first Christmas. Hadyn was the center of attention this Christmas. He was spoiled with gifts but mostly with love. He loved his uncle Arthur and thought he was the funniest person on the planet. Thankfully Arthur was the uncle who had no problem being a big kid himself. Alison and Crowe attended the Christmas celebrations as did Clara and Stringer who had recently given a relationship a second try. This time they had promised to be more open and supportive of what the other needed. So far, they had been together for a month and it seemed like their relationship was getting stronger. I was happy for both Clara and Alison. They deserved the same type of happiness I'd found.

Sidney came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed my neck and swayed us back and forth as we looked down at our sleeping boy. He had doubled in size and was looking more and more like Sidney with every passing day. He was just beginning to scoot himself around and starting to gain the skill of crawling, which was a fun new development to watch take shape.

Sidney had still not gone back to work and had no plans to return, which was entirely fine with me. I liked him being home and spending his time with us. I knew at some point he'd want to return, but for now we were taking advantage of the time he was spending with us.

"Is he fast asleep?" he whispered.

"He had a very busy day. I don't imagine he will wake up all night," I said softly. I turned in Sidney's arms and looked up at his face with anticipation.

He leaned in and eagerly kissed me. "Good," he breathed before leading me out of Hadyn's room and towards our bed. He cupped my face and kissed me again with so much need and desire. He tucked his fingers under my shirt and lifted it over my head all the while dragging his fingertips up my body. We continued to kiss with a passion that was undeniable while we removed the rest of our clothing. I breathed a heavy sigh and let my head fall back while he left trails of kisses along my neck and collarbone and down my stomach. He lifted me up on the bed and crawled overtop of me, lowering his weight against me. He moaned against my mouth when I rose my hips against his hard cock.

I gently bit his lip and pulled on it in a teasing way. His eyes opened, looking at me with a desire I'd come to know well and eagerly look forward to. With a few gentle thrusts, he buried his cock inside of me. I whimpered and wrapped my arms and legs around him. With slow and tender thrusts, he rocked his body against mine. Our bodies molded together as our passion was met with full pleasure. He breathed erratically as his movements quickened. I moaned excitedly as I was overwhelmed with a pure blissful explosion inside. My fingers dug into his back and my desire for more took over.

I lifted off the bed and met his mouth with mine for a passionate and fiery kiss. He still tried to continue his rocking motion even though it was difficult to do in the position we were in. I rolled him to his back and straddled him. He chuckled as he rested his head back and let me take charge. I slid up and down his cock, causing the friction between us to build. He slipped his fingers between my legs and started to rub my clit as I came hard against him once again. He grabbed my hips and continued to roughly lower me around his cock. When his eyes closed and his hands wrapped around my ass as he held me down on his cock, I took pleasure in watching him succumb to the orgasm. A grin spread across his face as he relaxed below me.

"Was that good?" I asked with a smile.

He hummed his response and let out the lightest of chuckles. His eyes opened to look up at me. "Better than good. It was magnificent."

Feeling entirely pleased with myself, I slipped off of him, his cum dripping down my leg. I curled up against his side, our hot, naked bodies sticking together while we wrapped around each other. "The perfect ending to the perfect Christmas," I said.

He sighed. "Last Christmas you agreed to be my wife. Now we are married with a perfect little boy. How could any Christmas ever top this one?"

"If someone had told you on our first date that this is where we would be a year later, would you have believed them?" I asked.

"Yes." He chuckled and tightened his arms around me.

"Would you really?"

"I knew from the first moment I met you I wanted to spend my life with you," he admitted. "It's strange how you can spend weeks, months, even years with someone and no matter how much you try to force that connection with them, it's just not possible. You never feel like it's right. But then someone else you can spend mere hours with and know they are the one you were meant to spend your life with. You were that person. I knew from the very beginning."

I smiled and tightened me arm around him. "All the more reason why I believe every decision I made–good or bad, was leading me straight to you."

"I agree." He kissed the top of my head and hummed contently as we got comfortable and ready for sleep.

Two months later, we lined up across from each other dressed in a tux and gown before walking down the aisle together at my sister's and Hunter Crowe's wedding. We had yet to get our wedding business off the ground, but this was good practice for us. We had spent hours planning Alison's wedding. My sister and I were alike in many ways, but also opposite in a lot of ways. While I wanted a simple, intimate wedding, she wanted the big, over the top wedding. She had more attendants than she really needed, she wore the big ball gown that nearly swallowed her, and she chose the most extravagant venue she could find.

I watched proudly as my sister said her vows in front of hundreds of people. I couldn't help but reminisce about my own wedding almost a year earlier. I glanced over at Sidney whose eyes were glued on me. We shared a secret smile as we both were clearly remembering when this was us. I glanced out at the guests and saw Hadyn bouncing and cooing in Mary's lap. Sidney's eyes followed mine out at Hadyn and once again we shared a smile having the same thoughts and knowing what the other was thinking even if words were never spoken.

During the reception, Hadyn was doted on by his many aunts and uncles and cousins. We barely saw him as he was passed around from family member to family member.

"Want to dance?" Sidney asked. I glanced across the room to check on Hadyn who was having fun and seemed happy enough for me to leave him for a few moments. I took Sidney's hand as he led me out to the dance floor. He spun me around and brought me close to him, wrapping his arm around me tightly.

"You always make me dizzy," I laughed.

"The last time we danced and I made you dizzy, was at our wedding when you were six months pregnant," he pointed out. I looked up at him and bit my lip nervously. He stared at me expectantly as if he knew my secret.

"Do you already know?" I asked.

He sighed and smirked. "I've suspected."

"I just found out myself, but I didn't want to tell anyone until after the wedding, so the attention was on Alison and not me. I'm only about six weeks along. It seems birth control is not our friend. You might need to learn how to keep your hands off of me, Mr. Parker," I teased.

He laughed as we slowly moved across the dance floor. "Not possible, Mrs. Parker. You're far too irresistible. We will need to come to terms with having a dozen children like your parents."

"I'm perfectly fine with a dozen kids," I agreed with a giggle.

He laughed boisterously. "I suppose this is your way of keeping me away from the fire station. If you're pregnant and having a baby every year, I won't ever go back to work."

"I will never hold you back from doing what you love. Whenever you want to go back, I will be supportive," I assured.

"As a matter of fact, I've been considering going back, but of course, I want to be sure you and Hadyn will be alright without me."

"We will be fine, and will look forward to you coming home after every shift."

My mother brought Hadyn to us who was getting fussy. Sidney took him from her and gently soothed him against his chest. He pulled me close to him and swayed the three of us together with the music. I rubbed Hadyn's back as he slowly drifted to sleep in Sidney's arms.

"Are you happy?" I asked.

"With you, always."

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
