Epilogue Two
CARTER
Seven Years Later.
I ’m a little pissed as I walk into the dark house, knowing there should be people home. Cece should be fucking home and waiting for me. We had plans tonight, and I swear to god, if she is anywhere but in our bed, naked, with her legs spread, I will tan her ass.
I shut the door and hear a rustle coming from the den, so I head that way. I’m blinded by the light as a couple of dozen people jump up and yell, “Surprise!!”
I almost fucking pull a weapon.
“Jesus fucking Christ,” I mutter as I stare at the faces around me. Especially those of my children and grandchildren. “Where’s Cece?” I get a few rolled eyes and snickers over my single-minded focus. I don’t give a damn what they think, she’s my wife, and there’s nothing I want more than her.
“Daddy.” I hear her voice from behind me and spin to see her with our youngest child on her hip. “Happy fiftieth birthday.” She smiles that way she does, and I’m enraptured by her beauty.
She’s grown from a scared eighteen-year-old girl into this stunning woman who runs a classroom of twenty during the day and a house full of our four children during the night. I’m in awe of her every single day and obsessed beyond my wildest dreams.
“Fucking fifty,” I growl, still unable to believe the number. These years have gone by too quickly.
“Half a century, old man.” My son-in-law, Holy, claps my shoulder with his casual grin as he scoops the baby from my wife’s arms.
“If I wasn’t busy, I’d kick your ass,” I warn, reaching for my wife as he laughs while walking off. “Fuck, I love you, baby. Always surprising me.”
Kissing her forehead, I lead her back into the den instead of upstairs to bed like I want to.
Greeting our guests, I thank everyone for coming and for all their well wishes, then take a seat with my wife as our children and grandchildren pile on top of us to sing me “Happy Birthday”. They’re off-key, and some don’t know the words, but it’s the best birthday I’ve ever had, and it’s all thanks to the woman in my arms.
The End!
