I walked out to the waiting room where Adalynn, Daniel, Mandy, Jimmy, and Richard were sitting and waiting for the news.
“Ashley and Ariel have arrived, and they’re very healthy little girls,” I announced with a grin on my face.
Adalynn stood up and hugged me with tears in her eyes. Smiles graced everyone’s face as congratulations were said.
“Can we see Rory and the babies?” Adalynn asked.
“Sure. She’d love that.” I smiled.
Adalynn was the first one to run in there and coo over both girls. Both she and Daniel held them and I could tell Adalynn was loving it.
“I see that look on your face,” I said to her.
“What look would that be, Daddy?”
“The maternal look. The look of ‘oh I want a baby now.’”
She looked up at me and smiled. “Don’t get me wrong, I love kids, but I don’t want any of my own and neither does Daniel. We already discussed it before we got married.”
“Look at me! I didn’t want kids either.” I smiled.
“Nah, you were just waiting for that special woman to give you one or two.” She winked.
After everyone took their turns with congratulating us and holding the girls, they said their goodbyes. Rory looked exhausted, so I took Ashley and Ariel from her and laid them down in their hospital cribs. Both girls were asleep, so I climbed next to Rory and held her close.
“I love you, sweetheart, and I want to thank you,” I said as I kissed her head.
“Thank me for what?” she asked.
“For coming into my life, marrying me, and giving me the best gift any man could ever ask for: two little girls.”
“I love you and you’re welcome. But don’t forget you had a big part in helping me make those little girls. So thank you.” She smiled.
“Get some rest, sweetheart.”
“Will you stay with me?” she asked.
“Of course I will. I’m never leaving you or my girls.”
She closed her eyes and, within seconds, she was sound asleep. I couldn’t help but smile every time I looked at my little angels. I was tired, so I figured I’d get a little rest with Rory while Ashley and Ariel were asleep. I closed my eyes, and I could feel myself drifting to sleep, and then, it happened: they both started crying at the same time.
Chapter 44
Rory
One Month Later…
The girls were one month old now and I wished I could tell you that it was a walk in the park. Adjusting to parenthood wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Ashley and Ariel were only getting up one time a night now versus the every hour and a half they were when we first brought them home. I tried to breastfeed, but it became too impossible for me to keep up with both babies, and my milk wasn’t coming in the way it was supposed to, so their pediatrician put them on baby formula. Ian wasn’t happy about that until I said a few choice words to him. He quickly changed his mind. He was an amazing father. He got up with me every night. Usually, both girls would cry and want to be fed at the same time, so he would feed one and I would feed the other. Watching the way he was with his girls was so surreal. He was the perfect daddy as far as I was concerned, and nobody could say anything different. Both girls were finally sleeping and I wanted to take a shower. I also wanted to make love to my husband. I hadn’t gotten clearance yet from the doctor, but I didn’t care. I needed Ian, and I knew he needed me. I got up from the bed and stripped out of my panties and nightgown before heading into the bathroom. I opened the shower door and Ian looked at me and smiled.
“What are you doing, sweetheart?” he asked.
“I think you know what I’m doing.” I smiled as I stepped in the shower and closed the door.
“But—” he said.
“Shh,” I said as I brought my finger to his lips.
He placed his hands on my h*ps and smiled as I took his c**k in my hand and started stroking it. “Ah, sweetheart. Are you sure?”
“I’m very sure. I need you and I want you. It’s been far too long.”
His hands traveled from my h*ps and up to my br**sts as he cupped them gently. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t. I promise. Now f**k me!”
He moaned as his lips brushed against mine, going from a soft, light kiss to a passionate, deep one. His hard c**k was ready and I couldn’t wait any longer to have him inside me. I turned and placed my hands on the shower wall.
“Oh God, Rory,” he said as he grabbed my ass firmly. “You don’t know how much I want you right now.”
“Stop talking, babe.”
“I’m going to go slow and, if at any time you’re uncomfortable, we’re stopping.”
He took his hard c**k and placed it between my legs, gently inserting himself into me. I could tell he was nervous because he was going too slowly.
“Ian, I love you, but if you don’t speed it up, I’m afraid the girls will wake up and we’ll lose our chance.”
That lit a fire under him because he pushed inside of me. I felt a little pain, but not enough to make me want to stop. His thrusts were slow and deep, and his moans in my ear heightened my arousal. Once he was fully inside me, he reached his hands up and grabbed onto my br**sts, kneading them and pinching my hardened ni**les.
“God, you feel so good, sweetheart. I feel like I’m already about to come.”
“Faster, Ian. I’m almost there.”
“I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Ian, it’s not a request; it’s a command. Do you understand me?!” I exclaimed.
Those words were enough to make him thrust in and out of me at a rapid pace. His hand left my breast and traveled down to my clit, which he forcefully rubbed. I let out a howl as my body tightened and he sent me over the edge with an amazing orgasm.
“That’s it, sweetheart, come for me because I’m coming now,” he cried out as he buried himself deep inside me and held me tightly.
I took in a deep breath as he pulled out of me and turned me around. He placed his hands on each side of my face and stared into my eyes as the hot water poured down on us.
“I love you, sweetheart.”
“I love you more.” I smiled.

We brought the girls down to breakfast with us since they were awake. Ian held Ashley, and I held Ariel as we sat and ate our breakfast.
“See this, Ashley, this is a blueberry muffin. This is Daddy’s favorite thing to eat in the morning, and I know you’ll love them too. Please tell Daddy that you’ll love blueberry muffins,” he pouted.
