Epilogue

Three years later

Holly

“What are you doing?”

My eyes flutter open as the words fly out of my mouth. My thighs clamp together, locking what I assume is Andrew’s head between my legs. Sure enough, when I flip back the covers, there he is, smirking at me.

“If you need an explanation, then I’m doing it wrong.”

I groan as his strong hands wrap around my thighs, restraining them against the bed, his tongue resuming the assault against my clit. One hand on my heavily pregnant belly, I use the other to grasp his hair and hold his face in place as my body gives in to the most incredible orgasm I’ve ever felt. My body spasms, my breaths coming fast and hard as I clench around his tongue. His tongue flicks at my clit and I cry out, a rush of wetness gushing out of me as I come hard. Then out of nowhere, intense pain rips through my stomach. Gasping, I push his face away. Holy fuck, was that a contraction?

“Uh, baby?”

I look down. Shit. Either I just had the world’s most intense squirting session, or my waters just broke.

“The baby is coming,” I gasp, scrambling to my feet.

Andrew leaps into action, helping me into some fresh clothes, then leading me out the door. He grabs my overnight bag that’s been packed and ready for the last week. I’ve gone from feeling like the most organized person in the world to a goddamned mess in the space of a few minutes.

“You look terrified.” Andrew grins at me and rubs my leg.

I scowl back at him, sure that this is his fault. If he hadn’t felt the need to go down on me in the middle of the night, I could’ve put this moment off for a few more days—I let out a giggle. How many women would kill for a man so intent on pleasing them? I should be counting my lucky stars I managed to find one.

It’s been three glorious years since I sent that text, and here I am, happily married to the man of my dreams about to give birth to his child. Andrew and Nick’s relationship is the best it’s ever been. Hell, my relationship with Nick has never been better, which says it all really. I think deep down we all knew that Andrew and I were meant to be, and while the path getting there might have been questionable, the result was worth it.

I gaze down at my bump lovingly, then wince when another contraction hits me.

Fuck, that hurts.

God help me when I need to push this thing out.

I glance over at Andrew, relieved to have him here with me. He takes my hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze.

“You’ve got this,” he promises me, leading me outside to our car. “Let’s go meet our daughter.”

Andrew

“She’s fucking perfect.”

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, I gaze down at Bella as she nuzzles into my arms. Her little mouth stretches into a frown and then the wailing starts. Chuckling, I smile at Holly and place our daughter back in her arms. Bella settles instantly, breaking her Daddy’s heart. My sadness quickly passes because watching the two of them together is nothing short of amazing. Even sore and exhausted after a sixteen-hour labour my wife looks fucking beautiful. And Bella… there’re no words for how I feel about her.

“I hate letting go of her,” I admit softly. “She’s going to go crazy with her overprotective Daddy sticking his nose into every aspect of her life.”

Holly giggles. “Just wait until the boys start sneaking in through her window.”

“That will never fucking happen because she won’t have windows,” I say with a growl. “Or a door. But seriously, have you ever seen anything so perfect?”

“Never,” Holly agrees, tears welling in her eyes.

How lucky am I to have two amazing little women in my life?

I still think about how this all started. If I’d known it was Holly from that very first text, would I have ignored it? Probably not. But maybe I wouldn’t have been so forward. Maybe our path would’ve ended differently. That thought scares me because I can’t imagine my life being any different to what it is right now. I have the perfect wife, a daughter I’d do anything to protect, and the kind of relationship with my son I’ve always dreamed of.

I lean over and kiss Holly softly on the lips.

“Thank you.”
