"Ethan, I'm there!" I cried out as another orgasm ripped through me, and he felt so fucking good inside me, pumping in and out of me. The friction of his cock gliding through my moisture was exquisite too, so much better than when he wore a condom. I never wanted to use condoms again, and I never wanted any man but him again. I convulsed and spasmed, milking him dry, and he bit down on one of my nipples and grunted as he neared his own climax.
"Fuck, Lily, I'm gonna come," he groaned into my ear before his hips bucked against me harder, his thrusts slowing, and his seed spilled inside me. The warmth of his explosion filled me, and I shuddered around him. My lips found his again, and I never wanted to stop kissing him. The world no longer existed for anyone but us.
I draped myself over his chest and panted, and he wrapped his arms around me and pinned me against his flesh. His shirt had fallen, separating our skin, but just having him inside me and his arms around me was enough. I listened to his heavy breathing and tried to catch my breath.
"I mean it, Lily. I wasn't just saying that to push your buttons. I want you to marry me. I already spoke with your father. I just don't have a ring yet." Ethan kissed the top of my shoulder and then raked his teeth across my skin there.
I sat up and left my hands resting on his shoulder. I could feel his sex draining from my body, probably puddling around him on the seat, but he didn't seem to care. He was still hard, still pulsing inside me.
"I meant it too, Ethan. Yes, I want to marry you. I guess I just still don't believe this is true, like you have to pinch me or something so I know it's not a dream. I can't believe it." I smiled at him, and he pinched my ass hard. I winced and jumped up, and his cock slid from my body. "Ouch, hey. What was that!" Isnickered, and he pushed me to the side where I collapsed on the seat next to him with a grin.
"You said pinch you," he joked, and he picked up my clothes and tossed them at me.
"Some proposal," I laughed and sighed happily. The rush of endorphins along with the week of very little sleep had me feeling drugged and yawning.
Ethan pulled his pants up and grimaced at me as he zipped up. "Gonna need a hot shower and the washing machine for these boxers."
"Ah, and probably a bigger house if you really did put more babies in me." I winked at him and sorted the clothing out to make sure I had the baby monitor turned up. The light glowed green, so I relaxed as I put on my panties and bra, then tugged my shirt over my head. I managed to get my jeans to my knees, but no higher in this cramped space.
Ethan opened the door and stood as a privacy barrier between me and the street as I shimmied them the rest of the way up before kissing him again. "That was exciting." I wrapped my arms around him and let him hold me in the same position leaning against the car as we had been in before I initiated sex.
"Yes, well I know you're a young whippersnapper, but this old man is kinda tired. I have to go home and sleep now."
I laughed at his corny joke and stepped back from him. "Good night, Ethan… Call me in the morning?"
He reached into the back seat and grabbed the baby monitor and handed it to me. "Wouldn’t miss it. How about I bring donuts and coffee around eight?"
"Just coffee. Can't eat donuts in front of Noah while he's on his liquid diet. He can only have a protein breakfast shake." I grimaced and took the monitor out of his hand.
"Then milkshakes it is!" His triumphant announcement came complete with a fist raised in the air, and I had to laugh again.
"Alright, Dad. You need to slow down. The boy just had surgery, so I think nutrition is a better idea. But once he's all recovered, we can spoil him however you want." I pecked him on the cheek and sighed happily.
"Lily," Ethan said, taking my hand.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think he's going to adjust to my being his dad?" The sincere question melted my heart. Ethan was going to be such an amazing father. I couldn't wait to see him in action.
"I think he's going to love you every bit as much as I do, and years from now, we'll look back and there will be no evidence of your missing any part of his life except distant memories." His expression softened at my words.
"Goodnight, Lily."
"Night," I whispered, then I made my way back inside. My heart was full and giddy from the interaction. I was so restless, too, that I didn’t want to lie down yet. I crept into Noah's room and turned the monitor off and sat in the rocking recliner in the corner near the night light to watch him sleeping.
Things were better than I ever hoped they'd be. Ethan and I were back on track, and Noah was on the road to recovery. It was like the heavens had opened and showered me in so much love and blessings, I couldn't even find the right place to start my thanks. I had a family, and it was whole again, and I couldn't be happier. Life really does have a way of working out, even when you least expect it.

EPILOGUE: ETHAN
The lights spun overhead, swirling and splashing across the dance floor. Noah ran past with a girl a few years older than him on his tails—literally. The tiny tuxedo looked adorable on him, and I was so happy that five months out from his surgery, he was back to his playful self and able to run and romp with the other kids at our reception.
Lily's hands were locked behind my neck, and she watched Noah race past too. She was so beautiful in her white gown with her hair swept up into a French twist with flowers pinned among her curls. We discarded the veil earlier in the night as our guests continuously tapped their forks on their glasses urging us to kiss. My lips were practically raw from all the kissing, and there would be more once we got to our condo in Orlando.
"He's going to have so much fun at Disney World," she said over the din of music playing through the speaker system.
"Yes, and he's going to wear us out. We're going to be the ones needing naps!" I chuckled, but it was true. Having a child so young at my age was a challenge already, and I only just started. Every day was such a journey, and I learned so much about love and patience.
