“He’s so precious, isn’t he?” Hazel asks. I can only nod in agreement.
“Have you decided on a name?” One of the nurses asks curiously.
I just stare blankly. Hazel answers for both of us. “Yes. We want to name him Gary,” she says happily.
I look at her with a smile. “That’s perfect!” I reply.
She smiles up at me. “I thought you’d like it.”
We sit there happily in silence as Baby Gary coos. I didn’t think my world could feel more perfect, but the birth of our son changed my opinion on that, in the best way.
Epilogue – Hazel
A year later
It has been a pretty eventful year for all of us. I spent every moment by baby Gary’s side. Alex noticed that and praised me by calling me a wonderful and devoted mother. I had beamed with pride at his compliment. We both took time off from promoting our books to be with the baby, but Alex started writing a new project. In between caring for the baby and sleeping, he would run his ideas by me.
Life continued in that fashion for a while. We adjusted to it pretty quickly that first year. We also had a surprise when Gibson came to visit us. We hadn’t seen him since Gary was born. Alex was so excited. It warmed my heart to see the bond that those two shared.
I was in the living room feeding Gary as Alex opened the door for Gibson. “There’s the happy family!” Gibson said as he walked in. He greeted us all with hugs.
Gary cooed happily and adjusted to Gibson right away. They adored each other. “You have to let me babysit him. He is adorable!” Gibson said cheerfully as he made Gary laugh.
Alex and I just looked at each other. “Hazel never goes anywhere without the baby,” Alex explained with a smile. I looked away in embarrassment.
Gibson looked at us both in shock. “Never? You mean you two haven’t any time to yourselves?” he asked in disbelief.
“Not since before Gary was born,” Alex replied.
Gibson cradled Gary in his arms. They both looked very natural like that. “That’s it. I’m babysitting tonight. You both need a night for yourselves,” he announced.
Alex and I just looked at each other and laughed.
“I’m serious,” Gibson insisted.
We stopped laughing and stood there talking about it. “Okay, we’ll go, only if you are absolutely sure about this?” Alex asked his friend.
Gibson replied, “Of course I’m sure. I wouldn’t have offered if I wasn’t. Now go and get ready.”
Alex and I looked at each other, then ran upstairs. Thirty minutes later we were by the front door ready for a date night.
“Don’t worry about anything. Gary is safe with me,” he assured us.
We both smiled as we said goodbye to Gary. “I know he is. We’ll try not to stay out too late,” Alex said.
“Just focus on having fun,” Gibson told us before closing the door.
We got in the car and drove off. “I don’t know about this. I was excited at first, but now I regret leaving Gary at home,” I said sadly.
“Relax. He’s perfectly safe with Gibson. You and I are going to have a magical night out,” Alex said, trying to comfort me.
We lapsed into silence. I tried to distract myself from feeling sad, so I told him, “I went to the doctor the other day. They said everything has healed up nicely so I can have sex again.”
I laughed as Alex grinned with happiness. “Well, I know what we are doing tonight,” he cheered.
We drove in the direction of a fancy hotel nearby. We parked, and Alex got us a room for the night. We giggled as we took the elevator upstairs then walked into our fancy suite. Alex headed for the phone and immediately called Gibson.
“Hey, buddy. Just wanted to check in and let you know that Hazel and I are going to be out later than we thought.”
As I sat on the bed, I could hear Gibson say, “No worries. We are perfect here. Take your time and have fun.”
They both hung up the phone, and Alex turned to look at me. “I’m going to fuck you all night long,” he growled playfully.
I leaned back against the pillows. “I don’t know about that. You’ve been a bad boy,” I teased.
Alex looked at me for a second then started pulling my clothes off. Soon I was laying on the bed completely naked as he used his fingers to massage my clit. It felt so good. I hadn’t been touched that way since before Gary was born. It was incredible, but I wanted more.
After a few more moments of fingering me and teasing me, Alex climbed on top of me. We spent a while kissing and touching each other until I reached down and stroked his hard cock through the fabric of his pants. The harder he got; the more desperate Alex became.
