Epilogue

Calista

The sight in entrance of me was past lovely. A lot so, I might barely focus sufficient to file it with my telephone. My attractive child lady twirled throughout the dance ground in her purple leotard and pink tutu. Her lengthy, brown hair was pulled right into a ponytail that whipped backwards and forwards, and her darkish eyes have been lit up with laughter. She was all the time pleased when she danced, however she was on might 9 this time round due to the tall, dark-haired man following behind her. His hair was tousled as normal, and I might see the define of his nipple rings via the purple T-shirt that clung to his sculpted chest, one our child lady had picked out so she and her daddy matched. The shirt hid all his tattoos, together with the 2 names inked proper over his coronary heart—our child lady’s, Madison, and mine. He had them finished the week after she was born.

He was hotter than ever, even whereas failing miserably on the dance strikes he was presupposed to be doing. Not that any of the mothers within the viewers appeared to thoughts. Once I’d signed him as much as take part within the Daddy & Daughters particular occasion on the college the place she took her dancing lessons, Madison’s trainer had informed me it might refill rapidly as soon as phrase acquired out. Judging by the dearth of empty chairs, it regarded like she was proper. I couldn’t blame them, although.

My husband was rattling high quality eye sweet—extraordinarily loyal man sweet at that since he by no means appeared to note the flirtatious glances so many ladies despatched his approach. I observed each one, however I didn’t allow them to get to me since I knew that if any of them have been silly sufficient to attempt to get too near him, I might simply kick their asses. I used to be a mommy, however that didn’t imply I didn’t sustain with my combating abilities as soon as I’d obtained the clearance from my physician. And the primary place I’d put them to make use of was a no-holds-barred spar with Chad, the place I’d pounded his ass into the mat. No matter Xander had stated to them of their assembly the morning after we’d discovered I used to be pregnant had labored as a result of his angle made an entire turnaround. However that didn’t imply I’d forgotten the shit he’d pulled again when Xander and I first acquired collectively, and I made positive he knew it.

“Did you see us, Mommy?” Madison screamed as she ran in the direction of me.

I knelt all the way down to wrap my arms round her as she crashed into me. “I positive did, child lady.”

“Daddy and me danced so good togever.” She turned to lookup at him when he joined us. “Didn’t we, Daddy?”

“You have been superb, Maddiekins.”

I might virtually hear ovaries exploding throughout me. Mine can be, too, if I wasn’t already pregnant once more. Once we discovered Madison was a woman, Xander had sworn we couldn’t have any extra youngsters as a result of it might simply up his odds of getting tossed in jail for killing teenage boys later in life. After her third birthday, he’d been bitten by the child bug once more. It had taken him lower than a few weeks to knock me up, and he’d breathed an enormous sigh of aid final week when the ultrasound had proven this one was a boy. Then he’d mumbled one thing about needing the additional backup since Madison was a handful like her mommy.

“You probably did kinda superb, too, Daddy.” She smiled up at him sweetly. “I’m positive you’ll do higher subsequent time if we follow heaps and plenty.”

“What a wonderful concept, Madison. Daddy regarded like he was having a lot enjoyable up there, I guess he needs to return to your lessons to follow with you each day to any extent further.”

“Yay!” she screeched earlier than operating to the facet of the room to seize her dance bag.

“You’re going to pay for that later,” Xander growled, as if we each didn’t know he’d have his ass proper again on the dance ground any time Madison wished him there.

“Oh, please,” I laughed. “Like I don’t know that I’m all the time secure with you.”

And I used to be…even when he was making me pay at evening for no matter hell I’d raised throughout the day.

Bonus Scene: Naughty or Good

Calista

“Mommy!” I blinked awake to a tiny hand pushing on my shoulder as my daughter whispered excitedly in my ear, “Get up!”

“What’re you doing up so early?” I whispered again.

“Santa was right here!” Her voice rose on the finish, and my head jerked to the bassinet set to the facet of the mattress about halfway down the size of the mattress. Mason, her nine-week previous child brother, shifted in his sleep however didn’t get up. Earlier than I reached out to drag her up, I tapped the button on my telephone on the bedside desk to test what time it was and groaned. It was barely after six o’clock within the morning, and he’d solely been down for about an hour for the reason that final time he woke as much as feed.

Xander’s heat physique pressed in opposition to my again, after which his robust arms stretched over my physique to pluck her off the ground. “Cuddle with Mommy and Daddy for a bit bit, Maddiekins. We’ll go down and open presents as quickly as your brother is awake,” he promised in a husky voice.

“However that’ll take perpetually,” she complained.

“Impatient as normal,” I laughed softly. “Identical to her daddy.”

Xander acquired her settled in opposition to his chest and wrapped his arm over my shoulder to drag me shut. “I wasn’t the one who was unwilling to go sluggish final evening and raced in the direction of the end line.”

“I didn’t hear you complaining,” I muttered, elbowing him within the facet.

He bent his head low, his lips brushing in opposition to the shell of my ear. “How might I complain when your pussy was so fucking tight it virtually strangled my cock?”

I flushed, remembering how good it’d felt as he’d pounded out and in of me within the bathe. Then I sputtered when Madison wiggled between us and requested, “What’re you guys speaking about?”

“Simply the current Mommy gave Daddy final evening.”

“Extra just like the one Daddy gave Mommy,” I laughed.

“However you stated no presents till Christmas morning!” she protested, obvious at Xander.

A plaintive cry pierced the air. “Saved by the bell.”

“Yippee! He’s awake now,” Madison sing-songed. She squirmed out of Xander’s maintain to leap up and down on the mattress chanting, “Presents! Presents! Presents!”

“I’ll change his diaper and see if he’s hungry but,” I provided. “You’re in command of our different little handful. And no opening something till we’re down there, too!”

He rolled out of bed and tugged a shirt on earlier than scooping Madison into his arms. “Positive, give me the one with all of the power.”

“Breastfeeding determined it for each of us,” I identified. Kneeling on the mattress, I lifted Mason out of the bassinet and set him all the way down to undo the clasps on his onesie and alter his diaper.

Madison giggled as he lifted her excessive up over his head. His gaze slid all the way down to my chest, and his darkish eyes heated. “Too unhealthy I’m going to overlook it since Madison and I must go down a

nd rely what number of presents Santa dropped at see if she was on the naughty or good listing.”

“Good, Daddy! Santa is aware of I used to be good all yr, and that I’m the perfect largest sister, too,” Madison insisted.

“Then we’ll test Mommy’s presents, Maddiekins. Perhaps she ended up on the naughty listing.” He flashed me a wink as he walked out the door.

I’d undoubtedly been naughty…however my husband preferred me that approach.
