Topsy Turvy Kinda Love
help it. It’s like the worst best mommy porno right now.”“Six long agonizing weeks, Mia. No sexy time until then.”
“We can do other stuff though.” She wiggles her eyebrows at me.
“You need to sleep, ma’am. You’ll need all the rest you can get, so take it while you can. If you behave and do as you’re told, I may show you my cock later.”
“Oooo, how about you send me a dick pic? That was on our list, and we never got to it. We still have so many things we haven’t tried yet.”
“Mia…” I warn her.
“I know, I know. Sleep.”
She goes to close her eyes again and then sighs. “Brooks?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry about all the mean and hurtful things that potentially came out of my mouth yesterday.”
“Already forgiven. I expected nothing less. You were incredibly brave foregoing that epidural.”
“I was a moron.”
“You’re amazing. Just remember that for next time.”
“There will be no more next time for a very long time.”
“Just to be clear, are we talking about another baby or sex? Because I have an issue with the no more sex thing…”
“Oh, loads and loads of sex, Brooks. You can’t get out of that one. Even when I’m old and gray, I’ll still be asking to ride you like a stripper pole.”
I chuckle a hearty laugh, quickly quieting when I remember the sleeping babies.
“Go to sleep, my sexy lady. We need some baby daddy bonding time.”
She grumbles but complies with my request. Seconds later, she relaxes back into her pillow and hits dreamland.
I look down at my children. Wesley’s blonde hair sticks out like he’s been having a really bad hair day, and I can’t help but laugh. I wondered what he would look like when he was finally here. He reminds me of his mom. Cute little nose, blue eyes, blonde peach fuzz, but I see me in him too, especially in those little dimples. Leaning down, I bring my lips to his little forehead and plant a kiss, inhaling his baby scent—the scent of new life, of miracles.
Piper, however, is a stark contrast to her brother. Her hair is darker like mine, and everything’s in place. She already has a frown marring her perfect little face and I hope that doesn’t speak of what’s to come. I see alot of Mia in her facial features and smile. It’s still hard to believe that now we have twins. Two little ones to care for instead of just one. It means double of everything, but I’m ready for all of it because I finally got the girl.
Piper starts to fall asleep, and I stand up slowly and return her to the hospital crib. I just want to hold my little boy and look at those cute blue eyes.
Sitting back down, I allow my finger to run slowly down his soft skin and a little hand reaches out to grab my pinkie. Something explodes in my chest, and a hole I didn’t even know existed seals itself tightly. Everything in this single moment has made me feel whole, complete. Each phase of this relationship with Mia has given me something more. The touch of my children has given my life so much more meaning than I could ever imagine. I’m collecting all of these memories and storing them in my mind.
For the second time in my life, I feel an intense connection. I knew from the moment Mia’s eyes met mine that she was it for me, and I feel it the same way when I look at these sweet babies.
Is it too soon to admit that my life is way too fulfilling? Gorgeous girlfriend that I hope will someday be my wife, a beautiful baby boy who is peacefully cooing in my arms, holding my pinkie finger, and a cute little girl fast asleep in her crib. My hope is that they never experience being unloved or feeling unwanted. My hope is that they grow up strong and knowing that they’re the best thing that’s ever happened to Mia and I. Neither may have been planned, but they’re little six pound blessings.
We sit there for what seems like hours before I hear Mia stir again. Little mister gets grumpy, and I wonder if he needs a diaper change. I smell him and grimace… yep, that’s a new diaper needed for sure. Without trying to wake Mia up, I walk him over to the table and start changing his diaper. I pull back the front flap and am met with a urinating baby. Pee is going all over me, and I’m trying to cover it like a water valve that won’t shut off. I hear laughter behind me and look over to find Mia watching.
“Isn’t he magical?”
“Magical isn’t the specific word I was thinking, no,” I grumble, frustrated. “How much pee does this kid have in there?”
She shakes her head. “Welcome to parenthood, Brooksy.”
“Gahh… let’s hope there’s a shower in here. Thank God I brought another set of clothes.” I hadn’t planned on getting peed on, but I threw in an extra set just in case.
I finish changing the diaper, and Mia asks to hold Wesley. I wrap him up and walk him over to her. Watching as she unlatches her hospital gown and allows him to latch on. I should probably give them privacy, but I can’t stop watching this intimate moment before me.
“Lucky guy.”
“Brooks…”
“What? I miss booby time, and now I won’t get it for a while.”
“Believe me, it’s not as pleasant as it looks…”
“I’ll take your word for it.”
Walking over, I lean down to my baby girl again and kiss her forehead. “Look at us, Mia. Hardcore adulting. We did it. You did it. We have the most beautiful little gifts in the world.”
“Was it all worth it?”
“It was always worth it. You, Wesley, and Piper will always be more than just worth it to me. You’re everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more.”
The gallery buzzes with enthusiasm. A lot of people came tonight
