ALESSIA
“ W hy do I have to stay here?” I pout. Astor hands me my cup of tea and kisses my forehead.
“Your friends will be here soon.”
“But I’m perfectly capable of attending the meeting. I’m pregnant, not cripple.”
“Can you just stay still and focus on growing my tiny human?”
“ Our tiny human.”
“The meeting will be a quick one there’s no need in you cancelling your girls’ night. I’ll be home in less than two hours and I’ll bring the calvary. That way, Teagan can start harassing you about being the godfather and give me a fucking break.”
“Can you at least fuck me first?” He leans his head back and runs his tongue across his lip.
“Hands and knees, little devil. Fast and hard.”
I silently thank God, because he hasn’t done fast in hard in weeks. He’s been so gentle with me. I’m only fifteen weeks pregnant, but he’s acting like I’m about to go into labor. I strip out of my clothes in record time, because I know my friends will be here soon.
He yanks me by my ponytail and impales himself inside of me, letting out a groan.
“Fuck, you’re so tight. Relax and let me in.” I take a deep breath and he buries himself inside of me before fucking me so hard that I feel faint. I come so hard that he has to hold me up as he fills me with his load shortly after.
We barely have time to get our clothes back on before the front door opens and our people flow in.
“Where’s my favorite bitch?” Caroline yells. I laugh as Astor groans.
“Be nice, it’s a friendly bitch,” I tell him as I walk into the kitchen to meet her. She’s glowing, but I guess being knocked up will do that. How we managed to get pregnant at the same time, I’ll never know, but I’m glad my baby will have a built-in bestie from the start.
Elsi hugs me and pulls out her laptop. I quickly shut it and shake my head. “No homework tonight! It’s girls’ night.” She’s a junior at Redcrest now and she’s pledging, so hasn’t had much time with us.
“Yeah, until we get back. Then it’s time to whoop your ass in game night,” Justin says. He leans down and kisses Caro’s belly and then heads for the door.
“Ok, fuck me, then. I’m just the one carrying the baby.” He stops and grins before pulling her in for a kiss. I shake my head as Astor wraps his arms around me. It’s been three years and Mikhail and Tess are still acting like they don’t want each other. It’s funny because they can’t seem to stay away from each other. When she started dating some guy, Mikhail stopped coming around if he was there. Or he’d do things to piss Tess off, instead. Teagan isn’t much better, following Briar around like a puppy. She leaves to go traveling through Spain soon and he’s been in a pissy mood since she announced it.
But even as dysfunctional as we are, they were all there for me. None of them judged me. None of them disowned me when I didn’t know who the fuck I was anymore. Four years is a long time to grow. It’s a long time to reflect on the person you want to be.
And even though I’m going to be a mom, I’m going to be true to myself, too. I’m a badass woman who doesn’t take shit and isn’t afraid to cause ruins to someone’s life if they cross me. I’m going to be the best mom I can be while also remembering that I was Alessia before I was a mom. My mom always seemed so wrapped up in me. And knowing what happened to me, I understand why, but I saw her over these last four year become herself again. And that’s what I want. I want to take trips and travel around the world. I want my husband to fuck me in cars on back roads. I want the rush of causing chaos. I want to feel like me. Most of all, I want my baby to grow and look at me and think, my mom is a badass .
And you know what? That sounds like pretty badass Mama to me.
