“Surprise.” He had a nervous look, and I closed my eyes and hoped for the best. While my mother, father, and I had gotten along lately, and they’d spoken on my behalf to help give Star a home, I hadn’t planned for them to ever actually come to where I lived. They’d managed to avoid it over the past months, and that had been okay with me. While I wanted to be able to call them and chat now and then, I didn’t want them to really be a part of my life.
My mother’s eyes lit up when she saw me, and even though she’d only met Chance and Star on one occasion when we’d gone back to Chicago to sell the house and finalize other business, she rushed over to hug the three of us.
“How’s my soon-to-be granddaughter?” Mom asked as she leaned down to hug Star. She had brought in a big gift bag, handed the thing to Star who grabbed Brady’s hand and pulled him down to the bench so they could open it together. Seeing her with him, and how well they got along, I knew she was going to be a wonderful big sister.
“Hello, mother. Daddy.” I stepped over to hug my father, and my mother walked over and rubbed my belly, which was the first affectionate thing she’d done to me in ages. She pulled me into her arms and then stepped back to look at me.
“Won’t be long now, will it? You’re huge! Reminds me of when I was pregnant with you. My ankles were the worst.” She gestured her thumb towards my father. “This one had to rub my feet every night, so when I woke up, I could get out of bed.”
“I didn’t think you’d come all the way out.” I was still a little shaken when Chance stepped up beside me for support.
“Thanks for coming,” he said. “I know it means a lot to Dream that you did, and Star and I as well.”
“We wouldn’t miss it for the world. We’ve wanted grandbabies for years, but I think she did the right thing in waiting for you. You’re a good man, Chance.”
Thankfully, Chance’s phone went off, and he stepped aside to take the call, ending my mother’s long-winded introduction. And by the time he got off the phone, they were calling us into the courtroom.
The entire process didn’t take nearly as long as we thought and within twenty minutes, we were a family. The court and our friends applauded and as the judge left the bench, Chance called us all together in the hall. “Let’s all go celebrate my new daughter over lunch.”
The others were excited, and Star wanted Brady and Liza to wide with us. Chance helped Cynthia into the truck, and once we were all settled, we headed to the restaurant.
The excitement of the day seemed to grow for him once the entire process was done, and I could relate knowing I’d felt like a huge weight had been lifted. I felt a sudden burst of energy over lunch and actually had a wonderful visit with my parents who wanted to take Star for ice cream. They even invited Liza and Brady along.
Cynthia was tired, and Austin and Lola needed to check into a hotel, so we headed home alone after dropping off our neighbor.
“You’ve been grinning ear to ear all morning.” I scooted closer on the couch to be near him.
“Well, it has been an exciting day. I got a daughter, my gorgeous wife didn’t have to murder me for my surprises blowing up in my face, and I secured a million-dollar deal.”
My jaw dropped. “What do you mean by million-dollar deal?”
“That phone call I got was from a software designer in Silicon Valley. He’s interested in my app and offered me a fuck ton of money to make it happen. Millions. I, of course, played it cool and we’ll settle on a deal when we meet next week, but yeah.”
I curled into his side and kissed his cheek. He turned and gave me a quick peck. Then he placed his hand on my thigh. The small gesture had me feeling so horny that I reached over and stroked his cock through his pants, finding him aroused.
“We have a little time if you want to mess around.” The words had barely left my lips, when he took my hand and stood, pulling me to my feet with him. I felt alive and charged with a burst of energy that I planned to make the most of as we walked up the stairs.
He pushed open the bedroom door and then locked it behind us as I walked over to sit on the bed to remove my shoes. He stood in front of me, undoing his pants and dropping them with his shorts to reveal a rigid cock that protruded from his hips, proudly begging for attention.
