“I’m on the piiiiill, Gentryyyy.”

I felt the thermostat go up in her pussy. I knew she was about to cum all over me. Being on the pill was a good thing, because she would stay pregnant fucking around with a nigga like me. She gripped my hair as she came all over me. “Oh shiiiit!” she screamed out.

I closed my eyes and bit her shoulder, trying to contain my own emotions. However, before she had fully come down, I was nutting all in her paradise. As we panted, I wrapped my arms around her waist, holding her tightly to me. “For the record, Gentry, I do want a baby,” she said softly.

I kissed her forehead, maintaining my silence, and drifted off into dreamland.

When we got back to Florida, the last thing I wanted to do was separate from Gentry. Our week in Honolulu had been everything I thought it would be. After the first day, we were able to get out and explore the island. While we did so, we talked and learned so much about each other. Just about everything I wanted in a spouse, he encompassed in some way. Knowing that everything he wanted he found in me was overwhelming as well.

I could tell that he had his doubts about Clayton though. He respected what I said about the situation and didn’t say a negative word about it. I liked that. He couldn’t form an opinion until he’d met Clayton and seen how we co-parented. I’d already called Clayton to let him know that we needed to talk. Honestly, I had my doubts as well. I didn’t feel like this would go over well.

Truth was, I didn’t truly think this all the way through. I wanted a man to love and cherish me and had completely blocked the fact that I would actually have to live with him from my mind. While I believed Gentry would be an amazing person, I didn’t want my kids to be uncomfortable, especially Kizzie. Dakota would be fine with whatever.

Clayton would definitely have a problem with his children living in a house with a man he didn’t know. I was prepared to allow the children to stay with him and my parents for a little while until he was a little more comfortable with the situation I put us in. This was all my doing, so I was willing to compromise.

Gentry was on the fast track to get me under his roof. I understood that shit totally. Had I not been on birth control pills, I would definitely be pregnant. He’d nutted inside of me nearly every time. I knew it was just because he could. We were able to let our guards down and not be so cautious about everything since we were married.

He was so affectionate and sweet, but I knew that was the after marriage haze we were both in. It was time to live in the real world, where all sorts of issues could arise. That would test our ability to deal with each other’s attitudes and opinions. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I knew it was inevitable.

He’d gone to his clinic to check on a few things, and I told him while he was gone, I would go and talk to Clayton and see my babies. Movers had already been called to pack up my place, and they would be starting in a couple of days. I was excited about my future with Gentry, but I was nervous about this talk with Clayton. I hadn’t regretted anything I’d done in a long time, but I felt like this would be the biggest regret of my life.

When I pulled into the driveway and saw the kids playing in the backyard, I smiled brightly. I missed them so much. This was the first time I’d been away from them for over a week. They were jumping up and down when they saw my car, and Clayton was laughing as he watched them. He wouldn’t be laughing in a minute.

I got out of my car as the kids ran to me and stooped to the ground to greet them. “Mommy!” Kizzie yelled. When she got to me, she threw her arms around my neck. “I missed you so much!”

“I missed you too, sweetness! Goodness. It feels like it’s been forever since I last saw you.”

“I know!” she said as she released me.

I scooped up Dakota as he laughed. “Hi, Ma-Ma!” he said as he giggled.

In my peripheral, I could see Clayton standing there with a smile, watching us interact. I looked up at him and smiled. “Hey, Clayton. How did it go this week?”

“Hey. It went great. You look refreshed as hell,” he said then laughed.

If only he knew. I gave him a slight smirk and set Dakota on his feet. He and Kizzie ran back to their miniature playground, and Clayton and I made our way to the back porch. Since it was Saturday, he knew I wouldn’t be taking them with me today. I usually picked them up on Sundays when he had them, unless it was during the week.

“So how was your trip?”

“It was great.”

“Mm hmm. What’s up? You know I can tell when you’re nervous or if something is bothering you, G.”

“I uhh… I met someone. His name is Gentry Fleming, and I would really like to introduce the kids to him.”

He frowned slightly. “The veterinarian?”

It was my turn to frown. “Yeah. You know him?”

“Naw, but my boy takes his dog there for his shots and shit. I’ve heard his name multiple times, because his dog is old and goes frequently for one thing or another. Y’all serious already?”

I glanced at my ring and said, “We’re married, Clayton.”

“Man, quit fucking playing with me, girl,” he said as he snatched my hand from my lap. He stared at the ring for a minute then looked back at me. “You for real?”

“Yeah. I…” I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. “I went through Arranged Hearts and was matched to him. We met at the altar. I spent this past week getting to know him on our honeymoon, and?—”

“Hol’ on. So you lied to me? Since when we do that shit? We talk about everything, Giselle. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
