“Nowhere,” I say with a naughty smirk as I drop back to my knees between his legs.
Jonah moans my name as I take him back into my mouth, licking him clean and sucking his cock until he’s hard again.
“Round two,” Jonah says, grabbing me.
He lifts me and stands, turning and pressing my back against the wall. He sinks inside of me and I sigh. I love how he fills me up. His hands cup my ass and I grin. When he rests his forehead against mine, I know that we’re going to be forever.
Jonah gets me. We connect so effortlessly and I love him. I know that he’s my future.
I know that he’s my Prince Charming.

One Year Later…
“I can’t believe that we let it get this long,” Mabel says as she combs my hair and starts cutting.
“Well, we were a little preoccupied with other things,” I remind her.
Her pregnant belly presses against my side and I brush my fingers over it. Mabel is six months along and has just really started to show in the last few weeks.
We’ve been busy getting settled into our new cabin and getting the nursery set up the way that Mabel wants, so things like haircuts have kind of been pushed to the side. Not that I’ve minded. I live to give my wife anything that she wants.
We got married close to a year ago. I knew right away that Mabel was the one for me and luckily for me, she knew too. I had been worried when I proposed that she would think that it was too soon. Instead, she had jumped on me and shouted yes before I could even finish asking her. My hands had been sweaty and shaking so much that I could barely get the ring out of the box, but Mabel just smiled like I was adorable.
We just had a small wedding at the courthouse in town and then went to Ledger and Tilly’s place to celebrate. By then everyone either had babies, was heavily pregnant, or in Grier and Anise’s case, newly pregnant, and we were all too tired to go out. I was eager to get Mabel alone so I didn’t mind, and I think that Mabel was just as excited to spend our first night as Mr. and Mrs. Schultz.
From there, we took our honeymoon to Bora Bora. I spent a week with Mabel only wearing a swimsuit and it was heaven. We explored the island, went kayaking and snorkeling, and ate some of the best food of my life. It was definitely a step outside of my comfort zone, but I loved it because I had Mabel by my side. Seeing her grinning at me from behind her scuba mask or laughing as we both tried not to tip over our kayaks made the whole experience that much better.
When we came back home to Fallen Peak, Ledger had a surprise for us. He had bought us that cabin that he showed me as a wedding gift. I told him that he didn’t have to do that, that it was way too expensive, but he insisted. He already had all of the paperwork, so I couldn’t really argue with him. I tried to pay him back, but he wouldn’t hear of it. He said that he was just happy to have his family close by and that it was the least that he could do for a war hero.
I had just rolled my eyes. I’ve gotten used to the praise and the thanks now. After I told Mabel everything that happened, she encouraged me to talk to someone. I ended up seeing a psychiatrist who pushed me to talk to Reyes, the remaining survivor, for his take on what happened.
Hearing what he had to say about that day had been eye-opening. There were so many things that I didn’t remember or didn’t know because I was in the other Humvee. He filled in a lot of the gaps and thanked me again for saving his life. He never blamed me for not being able to save the others and he helped to show me that there was nothing that I could have done for them.
Since then, I’ve felt more comfortable in my own skin. I don’t mind people stopping to thank me and while I don’t think that I’ll ever like to talk about that day, I don’t feel like I’m going to have a panic attack if someone brings it up.
And it’s all thanks to Mabel.
I run my fingers over her stomach again as she cuts some more hair. I can still remember the day that we found out that we were expecting. We had actually barely moved in when we found out that Mabel was pregnant.
I had thought that something was wrong when she started shouting from the bathroom and my heart had shot into my throat as I took off for our bedroom. When I saw Mabel crying, I thought the worst.
Then she had shown me the pregnancy test. The positive pregnancy test.
It’s been a whirlwind of doctor appointments and planning since then. One that I’ve loved every minute of.
“Stay still,” Mabel murmurs, a comb stuck between her teeth.
“Me or the little guy?” I ask as I feel our son start kicking.
“Both of you,” she says with a laugh.
Mabel is so excited to be a mom and I know that she’s going to be amazing. I’ve been letting her take the lead on what things we get for the nursery, but I’ve been reading every book that I can get my hands on. I’m determined to be the best dad to our little one.
“What did you want to do for dinner?” I ask her as she steps in between my spread legs to make sure that everything looks even.
