When I saw her in Miami I never thought this is where my life would end up. When she got off the plane, I knew I was never giving her back. Back to what? I don’t know, but it was fate. I love this woman more than I’ve ever loved anything in my entire life and I vowed to never take her for granted.
Suddenly, forever doesn’t seem long enough, but I am going to take it, just like I took her.
Epilogue Two
Five Years Later
Zoey
Since we have been in Dallas, I really miss the island life. What started out as management problems in the hotel here, ended up being a lot worse than we thought. Theft and other security issues were prevalent. We are such nerds. All our babies are named after nerd stuff we had Jemma, so named from the Agents of Shield, we moved here. In the three years we’ve been here we have added two more to our clan. Janeway is four. She was named after the only female captain in the Star Trek franchise to date. Joss is three. She is named after the sci-fi guru himself, Joss Whedon. My babies wreak havoc wherever they go, but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even at this late hour, Grant is still at work. We have all been putting in long hours since Isla Nubia was struck by a cat 4 hurricane, Everett, that completely devastated the island and the hotel itself. That was four days ago now.
As the Director of Housekeeping, I won’t have much to do until we rebuild, but we are feeling the strain. I will miss it, crazy as that sounds. The memories we made there will always be with me, but it sucks that it is just gone. I know we will be able to make new ones in the new building though. Right now, I’ve got a house full of kids. Julien and Mikhail are on the island seeing what they can do to help the families of the year-round employees. Natasha needed a little break, so she sent her kids over for a living-room camp out. The perks of being neighbors. My girls and their three kids are camped out in the living room right now, watching a movie, as I try to come up with a way to tell Grant that I am also pregnant again. Each time, I came up with something different to let him know.
With Jemma, I told him in the middle of of our first fight. Not my best moment. With Janeway, I had a t-shirt made for him about being a daddy again. With Joss, I had a his favorite bakery in Miami make a chocolate cake for his birthday. When Natasha and I went shopping in Miami, hello Target, I picked the cake up and brought it back to the island. Instead of “Happy Birthday, Husband” like I normally do, I had the bakery make the top of the cake look like my sonogram. I have no idea how they did it, but it got my point across. The fourth time though? I can’t think of a damn thing. It’ll come to me, I know it. Over the years, I have gained a lot of baby weight that just won’t budge, but Grant, bless him, doesn’t seem to notice and I love him even more for that.
By nine o’clock, all the kids are sleeping in the fort we built. When I go to make sure everyone is covered up, I notice Jemma and Alex holding hands in their sleep. Oh. My. God. How sweet are they? Of course, I snap a picture and send it to the group text between Grant, Natasha, Julian and I with the caption: Mr. And Mrs. Navarro, 2043. It’s a total joke, but how cool would that be? I get emoji’s in response. Grant sends an angry face, Natasha sends heart eyes, and Julien sends a thumbs up, like he always does. I think that is the only one he knows how to do. I laugh silently to myself. I move through the living room picking up sippy cups and plates of half-eaten snacks and take them into the kitchen. As I am loading the dishwasher, I hear the alarm chime “front door” and then its re-armed.
“Hey babe,” I say as he comes up behind me and wraps me in a hug. I turn my head, so I can look at him. At the same time, I also give him a kiss. The kiss I’ve been waiting on since I left the office at four-thirty. Daycare closes at five, and it was my turn to pick up the girls. “How was your day?” I ask.
“Long,” he says. He looks exhausted. Maybe I’ll wait until tomorrow to tell him.
“I am sorry. I kept your dinner warm. Sit at the bar” I say taking his plate out of the warmer. I set it down in front of him and move over to the fridge and pull out a beer. I pop the top and hand it to him. He takes a long pull and sets it down.
“Thanks, baby. I am starving.” He starts eating and I go back to the dishes. “Are you ever going to tell me?” he asks.
“Tell you what?”
“That you are pregnant again?”
“How did you know?” I question.
“I eat your pussy for breakfast every damn day. You taste sweeter when you are pregnant. More so than usual. Have been for the last week or so.”
“I just found out for sure today.” I say, smiling. “I am so fucking excited.” We both wanted a huge family. That was one of the many things we talked about in those first few months. Once we made love and talked until we fell asleep.
“Me too, baby,” he says as he comes over to me and lifts me off the ground. Swinging me around, he kisses my neck and whispers filthy things to me. He sets me down and we rush up the stairs, but we just make it as far as the landing. He has my dress up around my hips, and I have his belt open, pants shoved down, seemingly in seconds. He lifts me in his arms, my legs wrapping around his waist. Using the wall at my back for leverage, he slides inside me. I almost come just from that.
“Thank you for giving me everything,” he says, as he continues to slam into me.
“I love you.” I pant.
I never would have guessed that getting detained by this man would make me the happiest I have ever been.
The End
