Cougar

A lot’s happened since I met AJ.

The death of Storm started a chain reaction of changes. One being my favorite, AJ becoming my wife. Although, I think that’s about to be trumped by her giving birth to our son any day now. My poor wife is absolutely miserable. Every day gets worse for her, and she’s exhausted. The last time we had sex was a couple of weeks ago, and I’m not going to pretend I don’t miss it. But the last thing I want is to make her even more uncomfortable, so my right hand and I have gotten very acquainted lately.

Today we’re at a family potluck because Elvira decided we would have one once a week going forward because you never know when life is going to, and I quote, fuck you up the ass with no lube and ruin everything.

The kids are running around, and my wife is watching them all with a smile, surrounded by her friends. She and Ashlynn have a pretend frenemies thing going on all because AJ asked Bri if they were best friends. I didn’t know the story behind their relationship and pulled them both aside and demanded they get their shit together. That day didn’t end well for me when they both ganged up on me, telling me to stay out of how they lived their lives. When they walked away hand in hand, I looked at Bri, and she shrugged her shoulders, telling me to get used to it.

“Hey, Birdie,” I tell her as I kiss her forehead. “Are you doing okay?”

Her glare tells me I asked the wrong question. “Am I doing okay? No! No, I’m not fucking doing okay. I want this baby out! I’m swollen and miserable. I have sweat in places I didn’t know existed, and I’m tired. I want to sleep on my damn stomach.” She starts to cry, and I pull her into my chest and rub her back. There isn’t anything I can do to make this better for her, and I wish I could.

“You know,” Audrina speaks up, “the way the baby got in there is how you get the baby out.”

AJ stops crying, and we both turn to face her. “What?” I ask her.

“Yeah. Apparently, cum helps relax the cervix,” she smiles.

“Ew,” Ashlynn cuts in. “Why do you know this?”

Audrina smiles, “Because I’m pregnant.”

Everyone starts to freak out except AJ. She tells me to get up, and once I’m up, she motions for me to help her up. She’s up and on her feet, walking over to Audrina. I follow closely behind my little penguin.

“I am so happy for you, I really am, but I need this baby out. No one bother me. John, dick me down.”

AJ starts walking away, and I feel my face heat as I follow her, and they all laugh and catcall behind me. We get to the front of the house, where I parked my truck. I help her up into the cab. Once I’m in the driver’s seat, she turns to me, “You may not have put this baby in me, but you’re gonna get this baby out.”

“Yes, Birdie. Whatever you need.”

We get home, and I don’t stop fucking my wife until her water brakes.

Seven.

Hours.

Later.

Aletta

We’ve been home for two weeks now. It’s been an insane roller coaster, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. John is always singing to our son, and I love it. We met because of music, and he’s making sure music is a part of our son’s life.

The knock on the front door before it opens lets me know my dad is here. He’s been such an attentive grandfather. My son has him wrapped around his pinky and has from the moment he was born, and I placed my son into my dad’s arms.

“Oh, baby girl. He’s perfect. Absolutely perfect.”

Dad comes over every day to give John and me a break and spend time with his grandson. We can’t have sex yet, but I’m okay with that. We use Pappy time for naps, showers, or grocery shopping. It was hard to leave my son’s side at first, but it became easier every day, knowing he was the most protected child in all of Wyman.

“Hey, Dad.”

“Pappy’s here! Where’s my little man?” Dad asks as he comes in and sits by me. John walks out of the bedroom from diaper duty but doesn’t pass the baby over. When my dad gets upset, I pat his arm and tell him, “John has a little ritual. Let him finish his song, and then the baby is yours.”
