My dad had a solemn expression on his face when I glanced at him, so I knew he had something to say. He wasn’t a beat-around-the-bush type of guy. He would just blurt out what he was feeling. Just as I figured, he did that exact thing.
“Vashti, I just want to apologize for how I’ve stifled your growth and maturity over the years. You’re my only baby, and I was extremely over-protective of you. I didn’t want anything to happen to you because of what happened to my sister. She was killed by her fiancé, and for years I blamed myself. When I saw her limping or in pain, I took her word that she was okay… that she’d hit her leg on the coffee table or tripped and fell. I felt like I should’ve done more. If I had, she might still be here. I’m sorry, Jedrek. You’ve been great for Vashti.”
He shocked the shit outta me. Not because he apologized, but because he called me Vashti. He’d never done that. “And you’re right. She is a queen,” he added.
“That means a lot. Thanks,” Jedrek said.
“Daddy, I had no idea about your sister. I’m sorry for rebelling so hard.”
“Chitrita, you don’t owe me an apology. You’ve grown into a beautiful woman, and I’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished.”
My heart felt like it was gon’ rise out of my chest, it was so puffed up. I hugged both my parents tightly, then grimaced from the pain in my back. “We have to go,” I said. “I need to lay down.”
“Yes, of course. Wait, let me give you this,” my dad said, then walked to his office.
Jedrek carried the gifts to the Range as my dad came back with a slip of paper in his hand. He handed it to me, and I saw it was a check for $20,000. “Daddy, I can’t take this,” I said while glancing at my mom.
“It’s okay, Vashti, he knows,” she said with a smile.
They both smiled and pulled me into their arms as Jedrek came back in to help me to the car. Before letting me go, they summoned him to us too, then hugged him as well. “Oh! Put your hand right here, Drek!”
The baby was moving. He beamed with pride, feeling his seed move around inside of me, and I could see the emotion in his eyes. Leaning into his embrace, I succumbed to the love I felt around me. For the first time in my life, everything was perfect.

JEDREK
“Vashti, shit! Ride yo’ dick, baby,” I whispered forcefully.
“This my dick, Drek?”
“Hell yeah, lil mama. Fuck!”
She was working my shit right! That pregnant pussy was so hot and wet, I couldn’t get enough. Watching her ride me backwards had a nigga all in his feelings. I’d kept the lamp on, because I loved to see the way her pussy gripped me. Slapping her ass as she rode only got me more excited. I sat up on my elbows, then grabbed her hair, pulling her back to me. “Fuck, Vash. Yo’ pussy like voodoo.”
She moaned in response as I eased her off it and laid her on her back. Feeling her absence, my dick sniffed out that pussy like a damned drug dog tryna find a stash of coke. I entered her and watched the tears fall from her eyes. Since she’d been pregnant, it had been common for her to cry during sex. Gently stroking her, I lifted her leg and kissed her swollen foot, then her ankle and behind her knee. “I love you, Vash.”
“I love you too, Gray. Now quit playing and give me my dick.”
I gave her a one-cheeked smile, then obliged her. Nothing had changed during pregnancy, except when she was having the back pains. She still liked to have the mule put to her. She was getting rather loud, though, so I put my hand over her mouth, then wore that pussy out. Killing it in every thrust, while listening to it scream in excitement just made me go even harder. Those legs gave way and her orgasm ripped through her, and there was nothing my hand could do to muffle that shit. I nutted inside of her shortly after, joining her in ecstasy.
After kissing her lips, I stood to go to the bathroom for a towel. I was sure we would get an earful from my mama. The past three months, we’d really been gettin’ it in, but tonight was special. I’d finally graduated and would be starting my new job after the holidays. Walking back to the room, ready to crash, Vashti halted my steps. She was standing hunched over. “Baby, you okay?”
“There’s a lot of pressure, Drek. I think the baby is coming.”
“Oh shit. You’re early.”
“I’m thirty-six weeks today, so I’m still full-term. My bag is already packed in the closet just in case.”
“Okay, baby. Let me help you clean up a lil bit.”
I wiped her pussy with the white face towel, and there was a little blood. I yelled for my mama, causing Vashti to jump. “Sorry, Chitrita.”
“What’s going on, besides y’all in here being some freaks?” she asked as she walked through the door.
“We need to go to the ER. We think it’s time.”
“Okay, let me start the vehicle. Which one?”
