The idea of his wife as a best man still boggles his mind, but he loves the way she's wearing her black dress. His phone buzzes in his pocket, and it's in a perfect spot to elicit a moan from her. Laughing, he's tempted to let it just ring, but he figures it must be important.

Pulling it out, he sees Phoenix Hankinson's number on the screen. “Hold that thought, baby,” he says and steps away from the music and the crowd. “Hey.”

“Hey, are you and Lex still at the cabin?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Lily's in labor. The kid's gonna be here soon,” Phoenix says as Lily screams in the background. “Like, really soon. She's too far along to give drugs to, and I may need you all to pray for me.”

His eyes widen. “We'll swing by the hospital before we leave for home. Lex would kill me if we didn't get a chance to see Lily and the baby. See you soon, man. Good luck.”

“What's up?” Lex asks as he walks back over to them, everyone suddenly looking at him.

“Lily's in labor. Based on the screams and the lack of drugs they can give her, I'm guessing the kid's crowning,” he says. “I promised we'll stop by before heading home.”

Ashley tilts her head at Grayson, and he nods at her. “Go to the hospital,” she says.

“We will once-”

“Go now,” she says. “Everyone, actually, go now. Give them my love.”

Nodding, Lex giggles. “I see what you're saying. Come on, everyone, let's give the newlyweds their privacy.”

“What can I say? My husband's a sexy beast.”

“Okay, gross,” she says. “Even if I am best man. Come on, let's go before they decide to make us stay and clean up.”

“Crap,” Grayson jokes as everyone gives them hugs before heading off to their various vehicles.

Colt holds Lex's door open for her, and she climbs inside. “After we see Lily, we need to stop somewhere. I don't know if I can wait until we get home.”

“We also have to get the kids, hunny,” Lex says as he climbs into the driver's side, her hand reaching over to rub against his jeans. “Don't forget about them.”

Moaning, he shifts. “You can't do that when I'm driving.”

“Maybe we should stop at the bluffs. Give them time to clean off the kid and everything before we get there.”

“You're the brains of the relationship, that's for sure,” he says and heads towards their spot rather than back into town like everyone else. “I need out of these fucking jeans.”

It didn't take either long to find their release, and Colt toys with Lex's hair as they walk off the elevator towards the maternity ward.

“Where'd you two disappear to?” Ky asks.

“Nowhere,” Colt says and smirks.

“Seriously, how do you fucking do it?” he asks. “How do you keep that spark burning that damn bright?”

Lex wraps an arm around Colt's waist. “It helps that my husband is built like a Greek god.”

“I think I'm pretty damn sexy myself,” Ky says.

“You may have been the first guy to feel me up, but I still see you as a brother. So, eww.”

Groaning, Colt shakes his head. He hates the fact Ky was the first to cop a feel of Lex when they were at a party back when they were fifteen. Not that he can be too upset, considering that was the same night he got his first blowjob from Ky's sister.

“I'm going to go see her,” Lex says and walks into the room where Lily lies with her head back against the pillow.

“She seems good,” Ky says and nods towards Lex through the window of Lily's room. “Still pissed at Felicity, but otherwise, she seems good. Hugged Jennings without throwing a punch, too.”
