“Are you ready to go home?” I asked.
“I can make you some of that ginger tea you like. Maybe if you eat a few saltines, it might reduce the nausea.”
Perry placed her head on My shoulder and put her tiny hands around My neck. “Daddy, I sweepy.”
“We’re leaving soon, pumpkin. Just as soon as mommy let’s Me know she’s ready. I’m sorry you’re feeling ill, micah, but the timing is perfect. It’s naptime for our little girl.”
“Yes, my Love, i’m ready to go. i could really use some tea—anything to get rid of this feeling—and we can put Perry down for her nap. i just don’t have the energy to do much more than push the stroller. i forgot how awful this stage is.”
micah’s two and a half, almost three months pregnant, to be exact. she didn’t begin to display any symptoms of morning sickness until earlier this month. Call Me superstitious, but I had a strong feeling this time it would be a boy. My instincts tend to be on point when I have a feeling like this. micah’s been very ill this time around. Surprisingly, her bouts of morning sickness were virtually nonexistent with Perry. I chalk it up to boys being more rambunctious. Sensible logic, no? Well, maybe it’s simply wishful thinking, but I’d really like a son. Honestly, I don’t particularly care if we ended up with another girl, as long as our baby is healthy, but I found Myself thinking of a boy to carry on the Thomas name.
micah pushed Perry’s stroller while I held our daughter in My arms, smelling of sunshine and baby powder, and of course Perry fell fast asleep en route to our condo.
Once Perry woke up from her nap, micah and I intended to take her to My parents’ place. She’d be spending the weekend with them.
This weekend was about My pretty girl and I reconnecting. When there was a toddler running around, hardcore play wasn’t happening.
For the past few weeks, My sex life had pretty much come to a standstill, and it was driving Me mad. Between micah’s sickness and Perry needing our attention, My dick was weeping for mercy. Our playroom hadn’t seen action in a little while, but we were going to remedy that tonight. I’d have to be a little more tender than usual since micah was with child.
My parents had agreed to take Perry one weekend a month while My pretty girl and I got reacquainted. Of course, they had no fucking clue what went on during that weekend. If they weren’t available, Todd and Stephanie agreed to babysit. Perry loved to play with Caleb and William, and despite being much older and rambunctious, they humored her.
It wouldn’t be so bad if My in-laws were closer and a part of the mix, but with micah’s family living in Cali, it wasn’t feasible. We were planning a trip to visit her parents next month, before she got further along in her pregnancy and flying was nixed.
My pretty girl missed her family. she utilized FaceTime and Skype so everyone was able to keep up with Perry and how quickly she was growing. My pumpkin loved being on camera. I found Myself laughing often when she would burst into “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star” with micah’s mother and father watching her intently. We haven’t told them about micah’s pregnancy yet; we wanted to share the news with them in person.
My little girl will be a big sister in a few months.
After walking a few blocks, we made it to our apartment building, and I looked over at micah as Paul held the door open for us to enter. she met My gaze, and I winked at her as we made our way toward the elevators. she walked ahead of Me, pushing the stroller, and My eyes were trained on her ass. In that moment, she was the sexiest fucking thing within a five-hundred-mile radius.
Maybe it was the fact that I knew life was blooming inside of her, a life that I put there. Fuck, that’s hot. I couldn’t wait to get her alone and bury Myself deep in her pussy.
Any stolen moments I got to spend alone with My pretty girl were heaven.
Most mornings, when I woke up before micah and Perry, I found Myself watching micah as she slept, amazed at how much time had passed.
Five years strong and we’ve done so much within that time. I was never one to truly believe in soul mates or love at first sight. Fuck that. After what happened with samantha, I kept any emotional attachment at bay. I could admit My emotional growth was stunted. It took Me a long while to reach a good place. Love wasn’t something I was ready for because I wasn’t open to it, but all it took was one night. One night and Fate led Me to her.
I saved her life, and she saved Me from a life of emptiness.
I love micah with all My heart and soul. Many kinksters were of the school of thought that because you had certain proclivities, you’d never meet someone who shared your same feelings. When you denied what turned you on, what you actually got was a string of bad dates and forgettable sex that never led to anything. Yep, I had known that pattern pretty well, and frankly, trying to blend into the vanilla world could be a pain in the ass.
I had spent a lot of time denying what I wanted after samantha left, believing My “deviant” interests prevented Me from finding someone who accepted Me as I was. Just when I was erecting a wall to shield Myself from developing any emotional connection with a woman, micah came into My life.
Timing was everything.
I came across a quote once, I had no idea who said it, but it went something like this: “The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when you get it, because anything worth having is definitely worth waiting for.”
Our paths were meant to cross that night at Spanxxx. micah and I were two people who wanted the same things in life. Just because we found kink and a D/s relationship more appealing, it didn’t mean that we didn’t dream of the house with the white picket fence—our house would just have a dungeon in the basement.
Our love story was unconventional, to say the least, but it was our story. My pretty girl had become everything to Me, and I would love her, honor her, and protect her and My family until My last days on earth.
Believe Me when I say that love doesn’t appear when you want it to. It appears when you’re ready for it, and in the most unusual manner.
Embrace it, accept it, and nurture it, even if it seems taboo. And it will bring you the sweetest things.
