“Had I known planning for the baby could be romantic and sexy, I would have started this long ago.”
Sir laughed, looking back over her long list of baby items. “As far as the other incidentals, make a day of it with your friends. Personally, I don’t care what diaper pail you get as long as it keeps the odor sufficiently contained.”
Brie was suddenly struck by the oddness of their conversation. She stared at him with a wistful expression. “You and I are in for some major changes—a life full of dirty diapers and burp rags.”
“It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.”
“In some ways, I can’t wait, but I’m also terrified,” she confessed. “I have no idea what I am doing. I really wish there was a six-week training course on being the best parent.”
Sir chuckled. “We’re no different than any other couple starting a family. Luckily, you have your mother to turn to for advice when needed. Her wisdom will prove invaluable to us.” Sir placed her tablet on the table and opened his arms to her.
Brie settled into them, sighing with contentment. Nothing felt better than being here in Sir’s arms.
“It’s important we enjoy the journey ahead,” he told her.
Pulling away to gaze into his soulful eyes, she said, “It’s also important that we don’t lose ourselves as a couple…”
“I won’t let that happen, babygirl.”
“But how can I serve you as a submissive without involving her, especially as she gets older and begins to notice things?”
“It will simply take thoughtful planning. We’ll make it a point not to pressure our daughter into living and participating in the lifestyle until she is old enough to make that decision herself.”
“I agree with you completely, but on a practical level, how will that work in our apartment? Even if I wear a ball gag, our little girl will hear everything.”
“I’ve actually been thinking about that. As much as I enjoy our place, I feel a move is in order. One that allows us the space to grow as a family, but also gives you and me the privacy we require.”
“I should have guessed you’d be planning ahead.”
He kissed her forehead. “While it’s true we have numerous changes ahead of us, I’m confident we can meet them.”
She settled back in his arms, a feeling of serenity washing over her.
Whenever she scened, she trusted Sir completely, and that was true in their vanilla lives as well. He was a good partner, always looking ahead, anticipating obstacles and planning for ways around them.
“I feel confidence because I have you with me,” she stated.
“So…” he began, pausing for a moment. “Have you given any thought to having another child?”
Brie laughed, assuming he was joking. “No, I’m not even done cooking the first one yet.”
“I realize that,” he replied, chuckling. “However, once she’s born, we will need to make that decision fairly quickly. As I mentioned before we started this endeavor, I’m not getting any younger, Brie. It’s important my offspring have an active, involved father.”
Brie imagined Sir on the floor, playing with his children, and her heart about melted.
Children…
Without really needing to think about it, Brie felt they were meant to have more than one. Being an only child had given Brie the advantage of receiving one hundred percent of her parents’ devotion and attention, but it had also left her alone. There had been many times she’d felt jealous of her friends when they talked about their siblings. That kind of bond was something she would never know.
“If I am honest, Sir, Idowant our daughter to have a brother or sister. How do you feel?”
“I’m in agreement. I would like our daughter to have the intimate connection only siblings can experience.”
She stared at him in shock. “And, just like that, we’re planning for another.” Brie shook her head, giddy at the thought. “Our children…”
The baby pushed against Brie’s stomach, making herself known. “Come now, little girl, don’t go abusing your mama so,” Brie chided.
Sir placed his hand on the protruding area and smiled when the baby kicked again. “She seems eager to join us.”
