Epilogue
ONE YEAR LATER
MADDOX
“Happy New Year,” we three whisper to each other because little Maddox fell asleep on my chest after being fussy. We’re sitting on our balcony like we did the year before, except we have our new addition. Our boy is three months old today and so damn perfect.
I stare at my wife, reaching to pull her in for a kiss when I see a disgusted look on her face. “What’s wrong, Kitten?”
“Nothing.” Her lips are pressed tightly together, looking uncomfortable. “Excuse me,” she mutters out, dashing out of the room, and I’m on my feet, handing our son to my sister-in-law.
“Aurora, Rory, baby, are you okay?” I ask. She’s in our bathroom, throwing up. Shit.
I kneel down beside her and rub her back. “My love. We need to get you to the doctor.”
“No, I’m okay.”
“You most certainly aren’t. I should call a doctor.”
“I can handle a little bug, but I need the baby to be protected. Wait, maybe seeing a doctor will be a good idea.”
“Have you two considered you’ve knocked her up again?” Brynlee asks, walking into the bathroom.
“Um…we just had Mads, and I’m breastfeeding.”
“Yeah, but you should rule that out before you go and harass a doctor on New Year’s Day.
We can always visit an urgent care if necessary, but I’m betting you’re pregnant.
You two can’t keep your hands off each other, especially since you got the go-ahead.
” Laughing, she adds, “I’m going to lay him down. ”
“Thanks.” I turn back to Aurora, who’s trying to stand and assist her.
She smiles up at me sheepishly. “I’m better now. I hope it’s not the flu. I can’t feed the baby that way, can I?” She washes her face and hands.
“We can always switch him now, but we can call your doctor. It’s not a big deal either way. I’ll head out first thing in the morning to pick some up along with some pregnancy tests. We’ll find the closest one to breast milk.”
“Okay. Thank you. I need some air.”
I carry my lovely wife out to the balcony, wrapping her up in my arms and a small blanket over us.
“Hey, I’m going to head to bed. The baby is okay, but here’s the monitor anyway.”
“Thanks, Brynlee.”
“Happy New Year, Maddox. You’re a great man.
I’m so glad my sister made the sacrifice.
” She gives me a quick hug, pulling back nervously.
She’s come a long way since they brought her here.
Most of her discomfort around men has disappeared or eased.
She’s still a little skittish, but it helps with Knight guarding her.
“Me too. Me too.” She scurries off to bed after kissing Aurora’s forehead.
Once my pretty little wife is completely asleep, I carry my treasure to bed and tuck her in. I check in on the baby one more time before climbing in beside Aurora. Life doesn’t get any better than this.
“So we’re having another baby? That’s incredible. I know it’s pretty soon, but I love you, Aurora, and I want a dozen babies with you.”
“Me too. Kiss me, husband.” I bend down and take the kiss I’ve been hoping for since the doctor stepped out of the room.
“I could kiss you all day long.”
“But we have a son to get home to, and I’m getting hungry.”
“Sounds good. Let me feed you while you feed our son, and then you’re going to get your pussy eaten until you pass out for a long nap.”
“Wow, that’s a plan I can work with.” The doctor knocks on the door, but I still kiss her again, not giving a fuck who comes in. I’m getting fed up with being interrupted when it comes to touching my wife. I’m a man obsessed.
