I step out and he comes over. His familiar, solid presence is always so grounding for me. It makes me feel like I can handle anything with him by my side.
“You okay, babe?” he asks, searching my face. “I thought you were working until five.”
I let him swallow me in those big comforting arms and I take a deep breath of his woodsy masculine scent, giving us one last moment like this before I change us forever.
“June?” he asks, stepping back to look in my eyes. “What’s up?”
Tears flood my eyes, but I’m smiling as I look up at him. He’s going to be an amazing dad.
“Maybe when you’re done with those shutters you can start working on another bedroom,” I say with a grin.
He looks at me confused for a moment, then his breath leaves him in one sharp rush.
“No…”
I pull the test out of my bag and place it in his palm. “Yes.”
For a second, he just stares at it.
Then his knees actually buckle.
He lets out a sound that’s half laugh, half choke, and pulls me against his chest so hard I can barely breathe.
“We’re going to have a baby,” he whispers, his voice rough and full of emotion. “We’re going to have a baby!”
I press my face into his neck, breathing him in as he squeezes me tight. His excitement is contagious. I know this is going to be great. Everything is great with Ethan.
He pulls back, cupping my face, blue eyes shining as he stares at me with so much love I can barely take it.
“I’m going to take care of you,” he says, fierce and certain. “Both of you. I swear.”
“I know,” I say, smiling. “I’ll take care of you guys too.”
He kisses me and I take it all in, feeling more excited about the future than I’ve ever felt before.
“I need you,” he growls as I feel his tender hands becoming dominant and firm as he tightens his grip on my hips. He pulls me nice and close. “Can we still…?”
I grin as I nod my head. “We better get it in while we can. We’ll have a house full of kids before you know it.”
“A house full of kids,” he says with a faraway look in his eyes as he smiles. “I like the sound of that.”
He scoops me up into his big arms and carries me inside, straight to the bedroom. He takes my clothes off in record time and sinks his hard cock into my aching pussy as he tells me how much he loves me over and over again until I’m cumming and screaming it back into his ear.
I’m going to have a family with this man.
How lucky am I?
EPILOGUE
Ethan
Fourteen years later…
Our backyard looks like a small farming commune exploded all over it.
There are kids everywhere—our four and all their cousins, so many I can barely keep track of them all. My parents are here too and we’re all working on the huge garden together. So many dirty hands, muddy knees, and smiling faces.
Everyone is staying on our new ranch for the week. We’re all hanging out and building the massive garden together. It feels like old times, although we didn’t have so many people back then. With my three sisters, their husbands, June, and all of our offspring, we’re really something to see.
