Epilogue
You & I ✓
"F*ck!" Ethan cursed as I clenched around him. He increased his speed driving me over the edge. I gripped onto his shoulders for support. My nails were digging into his back. I was close, so close.
"Daddyyyyy!"
We both froze in our movements.
"Daddyyy!"
My five year old kids, Eva and Jasper yelled from downstairs.
"Don't stop, don't stop!" I said to him breathing hard.
I bit onto his shoulders to stop myself from screaming loud. I didn't want to scare my kids.
A few more thrusts and we both exploded in each other. Ethan took a minute to compose himself while I lay on the bed and watched him dress up. He just wore his pants leaving his upper body bare on display. Ethan's hair was messy due to the number of times I had pulled at his hair. He waved a hand through his hair fixing it and then he was out of the door.
I went to the bathroom, took a shower and dressing up in a simple jeans and top I pulled my hair in a bun and made my way out of the room.
In the hallway, I saw Eva on Ethan's lap tying up his hair in small ponytails and Jasper was sitting on the floor, drawing.
When Jasper saw me he dropped his pencils and ran towards me.
"Mommy!" He crashed onto me making me stumble back.
"Jasper, be careful there." Ethan said to him.
"Yes Daddy." He replied in his cute voice. For a five year old Jasper had a really good voice. He would sing all his school rhymes with perfect tune. His voice was like an angel. He said he wanted to become a singer when he grows up. We both were fine with whatever he decides to become as long as he is happy with his choices. And Jasper had that potential. Maybe it was too soon to decide but he was really showing interest in singing. So we decided to enroll him in singing classes by one of the best teachers in the city. Jasper really enjoyed learning from him and seemed happy. That's all we wanted.
"Mommy, see this. I made piggy tails on Daddy. See, he looks pretty." I chuckled at Ethan who seemed to look annoyed. His hair was tied up in various places by pink rubber bands and he looked funny. He tickled Eva and she giggled in his arms.
Eva was a complete Daddy's girl. She had him completely wrapped around her pinky.
"Mommy, I drew you." Jasper said tugging my sleeve.
I walked with him to his little masterpiece and crouched on the floor and he showed me his art. The woman in the picture was somewhat like me. She had eyes and lips like me. Her nose was somewhat crooked but other than that anyone who saw the picture would recognize it as me.
"You did good sweety. I am proud of you." I kissed his cheek and he wrapped his tiny arms around me. It was impossible not to notice Jasper's inclination towards art. But then again every child has different dreams and different ideas about the future. As long as they enjoy their childhood it was fine.
Eva came near me and sat besides me. Her eyes were calculating and she squinted her eyes at me with her hands resting on her hips.
"What happened to your neck mommy?" She asked pointing to my neck. I touched what she was pointing at and I felt a small pain there. Ethan expression was of a guilty person and I glared at him.
This was the second time Eva had noticed my neck covered in hickey. I had told Ethan to stop marking me but he never listened. How was I going to explain my five year old daughter?
"Princess, its nothing. Mommy must have scratched her neck with her ring. It happens. Don't worry." Ethan lied.
"Umm... Who wants cupcakes?" I said distracting everyone.
"Me!" Eva screamed excitingly.
I was about to get up from the floor when Jasper caught hold of my hand.
"Wait here mommy. I'll get them. You'll get tired." He said.
"Aww. My sweet little boy." I kissed his hair and pulled him closer. He got up and went to the kitchen to fetch the tray that was on the island.
"He is so protective of you." Ethan said looking in the direction of Jasper.
"He is." I agreed.
"I'll feed you and baby brother mommy." He said walking out with a tray full of delicious chocolate cupcakes.
"Me too. Me too." Eva announced excitedly. They both gathered around me and took a cupcake each and began fighting among themselves to decide who'll feed me first.
"I am elder than you. I'll feed first." Eva said.
"Just by two minutes. I am taller than you. I'll get first chance." Jasper replied in same stubborn tone.
"No, Daddy loves me more."
"Mommy loves me more."
"Enough. Mommy and Daddy loves you both the same. If you fight your baby brother won't get anything at all. Mommy is going to remain hungry. Now you decide whether you want to keep mommy hungry." Ethan said.
"Evelyn Caroline Monroe, you feed first." Jasper replied immediately.
He always did that. Letting his sister do as she wanted. He was so much like Ethan when he was a kid.
At seven months pregnant my belly was rounded and both Eva and Jasper were very protective of me and their baby brother. They were just as excited as me and Ethan.
When we found out that I was pregnant again it wasn't much a surprise. Ethan was very happy as he always wanted a bigger family.
After the twins I had stopped using pills and told him that I won't be using them again. They could harm the baby if I got pregnant again. The last time we were lucky that the twins were healthy but I didn't want to risk anything. So I forced him to use protection but I learnt later that he wasn't a fan of rubbers.
"I hate that sh*t. I want to be close to you." He had said.
So when I found out few months ago that I was pregnant again I was not at all surprised. But now I couldn't wait to meet my boy.
Ethan kissed my belly and whispered.
"I like you pregnant."
I raised my brows at him.
"You look beautiful and I love children." He said kissing me.
Six months later...
I fed my baby, Zach, and rocked him to sleep. Zach was four months old and was a cuddly little baby. He loved when we cuddled him. Ethan showered his baby with all the love in the world.
"Hey!" Ethan came in through our room.
"Its my time with my boy." He said. I gave him Zach to him and Ethan took him in his arms and rocked him.
Zach made noises and laughed with his daddy.
"I'll get ready and then check up on the twins." I said to Ethan who was busy with Zach.
I hurriedly got dressed in a turquoise dress that would make me seem less fat than I am. After delivery, my hips were wide and my legs weren't as slender as they were earlier. My skin held stretch marks and my stomach wasn't as flat.
A hour later I was ready and I went to the twins room and readied them.
Jasper wore a tux and Evelyn wore a peach colored princess gown. They were all ready for their aunt Ella's wedding.
Ella was getting married to her long time boyfriend Mark. After dating for so many years Mark proposed to Ella a year ago and now they were getting married.
Ella and Mark were confessed to their families about their relationship after Mark was confident enough. I was very happy for Ella.
I took the twins and went to check up on Zach. Thankfully Ethan had readied him and I wore him his black and blue stripped hat that he loved so much.
Ethan wore a black tuxedo and his hair was pushed back giving him a sleek look. At thirty three years of age, my husband was strikingly handsome as I had see him for the first time so many years ago. His light stubble made him look so sexy. He was aging like a fine wine.
I was nothing compared to his good looks.
"Let's go my sexy wife." He whispered in my ear.
"I am nowhere near sexy. Look at me, I probably look like a hag." I said but hoped he would say otherwise.
"Of course you are sexy. You carried my kids, of course your body won't be the same. But no matter what, I'll love you the same if not more." He said seriously. I smiled at him and we left for the church.
Ella looked beautiful in her gown. Like her family she too her all the striking features and looked like an angel. Ethan and Seb offered their arms to walk her down the aisle.
They said their vows and kissed to seal their vows. Their reception was held in the large hall and everyone was enjoying themselves. I spotted Alex with her three year old daughter and husband. Alex got married a year after dating Michael. He was the same lawyer she once was bitching me about. They weren't in contact for a while and one day they met again and sparks flew between them and they hit it off.
She was happy and Michael loved her a lot. Their daughter Claire was blonde like her father and whenever they used to come over at my place, Jasper used to fight a lot with her. He didn't hate her, he just loved to bicker with her.
We left the reception early because Zach was uncomfortable between so many people.
At home I fed him and soon he was asleep. I put him to sleep and then I went to twins. After tucking them to bed I went to my last baby, Ethan.
I entered my room only to find him lying on the bed.
Naked.
I blushed seeing him completely bare.
"Six years of marriage and still you get that beautiful blush after seeing me naked." He rose up from his lying position and gestured me to come closer. I took hesitant step towards him and he pulled me on top of him.
My back hit the mattress and he hovered above me with his lips on me in a sensual caress. I gave in unable to resist him.
Ethan
Her naked body pressed to my own gave me the opportunity to feel her up. Erica was a wonderful wife taking care of me and always putting my needs before hers.
She was an even wonderful mother to our three kids. Jasper adored her like she was an angel. She truly was.
Eva was more inclined towards me but she loved her just as much.
Zach was still small but he was the light of our world. His cute baby voice was enough to make me forget my stress after a long stressful day and his beautiful eyes were just like his mommy.
"Ethan." I heard Erica call out my name. I hummed in response.
"Do you think I am not giving you enough time? Between all the kids and taking care of them, am I ignoring you?" She asked.
"No baby, you are the perfect wife and perfect mother. I know how much you take care of our kids and me. IÂ grateful to you that you manage our family so well. We all love you so much. Never think that you are inadequate anywhere. I love you so much." I kissed her temple.
"I love you too."
I hugged her close remembering all those moments that made me fall in love with this wonderful woman who was my wife now.
Our first meeting, our first kiss, the first time we confessed our love to each other, the first time we made love. Every memory was special to me and I would forever cherish this memories.
