“Yeah, right,” my wife scoffed, rolling over in our nice warm comfortable bed, and punching her pillow into place. “You forget babe, I do the day shift alone, so don’t bitch about you doing half the night shift, ‘kay?”
I couldn’t argue with her. She was right. And she was a phenomenal mother to our babies. I helped as much as I could when I wasn’t at the office, and even offered to get a live-in nanny, but Autumn would not hear of it.
“No stranger is raising my babies,” she’d argued, “Besides, Lifetime Movie Network just ran Wicked Nanny Weekend so there’s no way I’m allowing any of those skinny botoxed bitches onto my turf, Dirk Sexton!”
As if she’d ever have anything to worry about on that score. I loved Autumn more than I ever thought possible for somebody like me. She was the Ying to my Yang, the Rachel to my Ross, the scratch to my itch - well you get the picture, right?
I changed the baby’s diaper before I grabbed the now warm bottle of breast milk and settled on a chair in her nursery, directing the nipple to Baby Eva’s mouth where she clamped on immediately.
Yes, they each had their own nursery. Autumn thought it would keep one from waking the other up and it proved to be true. We had a five-bedroom home now in the ‘burbs, and it was perfect for raising our babies. The studio we were adding on to the main floor would be ready in six weeks. Just in time for Autumn’s return to the now syndicated “Midnight Caller.”
She’d work from home and I’d be on Daddy Duty when she did. Everything was working out perfectly.
I gently raised my daughter up and pressed her gently against my shoulder. With my right hand on her back I rubbed my palm in circles and within a few moments, I was rewarded with a healthy burp. “That’s Daddy’s good girl,” I whispered, standing up and gently putting her back into her crib. I waited until I was sure she was back to sleep before creeping out of her nursery and heading back to the master suite.
Autumn came awake. “How much did she take?”
“About three ounces,” I replied.
“Did you get a nice burp out of her?”
“Yes Autumn,” I growled. “I know what I’m doing here woman.”
She curled up next to me. “I know you do, baby. Hey, don’t forget tonight we’ve got that engagement party at the club.”
“Yeah, got it covered. Mom and Dad will be here at six to get their training, and we’ll be outta here by seven.”
It was the first time we’d be leaving the babies with the grandparents, but since Heath and Summer were officially engaged, my parents were on duty since Autumn’s parents had arranged the festivities for their daughter.
“Can you believe they’re finally getting married?” she asked.
I had to chuckle. “I have to admit, babe, I never saw that match working out, but in retrospect, they’re perfect for each other.”
“Yes,” she whispered, “They are perfect together.”
“Just like us,” I said, kissing the top of her head. “I love you, Autumn Sexton.”
“I love you back Dirk Sexton, forever and ever.”

MAYBE BABY (Book 1)
"That was definitely hot," I said, propping myself up on an elbow to look at him, "going all 'Christian Grey' on me like that."
"Who?" he asked, totally clueless...
I wasn't prepared for what was in store for me when I took a summer position at Sinclair Stables before my junior year of college. After all, it could only help with my chosen field of equine studies, right?
My first encounter with Trey Sinclair wasn't a pleasant one to say the least. I didn't realize he was taking time away from his law firm in Atlanta to oversee his family's business in Bristol Virginia over the summer. He was definitely an alpha who liked exerting his power... and his prowess.
And then there was all this weirdness going on there. Like something from a Hitchcock movie! I was there with baggage I didn't realize I had! Trey Sinclair turned out to be my protector... and so much more!
