When everything is packed in the cars we all pile in and head back. We get settled at home, I find my mom is setting the table while I notice the guys have gathered around the barbeque. Shiloh zooms past me, energy restored and ready to take on the world again. He grabs Harper's hand and drags her toward the patio door.
“Come on Auntie Harper, I gotta show you this cool thing I found in the backyard.” He tries to speed up while Harper follows behind. An uneasy look on her face as she agrees to follow him.
“Thatcool thinghe said he found can be anything from a rock to a dead bug.” Evie comments beside me. I stifle a laugh and watch as they exit to the back yard.
“You aren’t wrong. The things kids find cool is vastly different than what adults find cool.” I respond, thinking about all the times Shiloh has told me about something cool he has found. I’ll never forget the pure disgust I felt when he came up to me at the park one time, claiming he found the coolest thing as he approached with hands behind his back. When he came forward with a sock that was somehow soggy and crusty at the same time. My body shudders, wishing I could scrub it from my memory like I did with Shiloh’s hands after I chucked it in the garbage. He was distraught, but I managed to calm him down easily enough and before I knew it he was playing happily in the park again.
I walk over to the fridge to grab something to drink
“Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?” I ask over my shoulder reaching to grab myself a Diet Coke.
“Oh yes please, a Diet Coke.” Evie answers, sitting down at the dining table, she has her phone out and begins to scroll.
Grabbing the cool can, I take my place across from her, placing the drink in front of her.
“Thank you.” Evie hums as she cracks the can open and takes a drink. I find myself watching how her lips rest along the can, her neck straining as she pulls the liquid from it. She licks the rim before placing it down on the table and suddenly, I'm parched.
Quickly opening my own drink I take a few pulls, savoring the fizzing sensation of the carbonation as I swallow. When I place the drink down, I notice Evie has her phone hanging lazily from her hand, her eyes homed in on my lips. I swipe my tongue across my bottom lip, which snaps her attention up to me. Instead of shying away from being caught Evie's lips pull to the side as she tilts her head.
I open my mouth to say something but I’m interrupted when the patio door opens and the sound of my husband laughing as he enters the house.
“Dinner is served!”

Six Months Postpartum
Thesoftsoundsofthe newest cartoon movie plays on the TV as we all sit around in the living room area of our rental. Across from me on one of the couches, Shiloh is curled up on Xavier, he passed out about twenty minutes into the film. We spent the whole afternoon out at the water park, Shiloh spent the entire time switching between the giant bucket and climbing up the structure to get to the water slides.
The effects of the sun today wash over me. My skin holds a slight tightness, telling me I may have stayed out in the heat a little longer than I should have and am gonna sport a little redness. Which I know will earn me a scolding from my wife, but it’ll be worth it. Stretched out with a beer in my hand, arms spread over the back of the couch, legs spread wide taking up as much of the space as possible.
Harper is curled up on the other side of Xavier. Evie on the other side of Harper. They’re quietly talking amongst themselves. At the dining table my parents and Josie’s parents sit with glasses of wine as they play a game of cribbage. The quiet chatter blends in with the soft sounds that come from the tv.
Soft footsteps come from behind me and then Josie comes into my sight. She goes to take the seat next to me but I quickly grab her and pull her onto my lap. Wrapping my arm around her I scoot her closer. She lets out a soft laugh before trying to get off.
All that does is rub her ass on my cock. Holding in a groan, as my dick starts to perk up with the friction.
“Babbyy.” I slowly groan, causing her to freeze with what she’s doing. She peeks over her shoulder before her lips twitch and instead of trying to leave again. She wiggles a bit more toget comfortable. Grinding her ass against my thickening cock.
Closing my eyes I take a deep breath. I did this to myself when I pulled her onto my lap. There are way too many people in this house. She’s going to kill me.
“I should carry Shiloh to bed.” I abruptly say, attempting to movie Josie off me, but also not sport my erection in front of everyone.
Xavier looks at me, eyebrow raised. A second passes and then it’s like a lightbulb goes off in his head. “Oh don’t worry, I can do it.” He readjusts Shiloh’s sleeping form before standing up and heading down the hall. Not before shooting me a wink as he walks by.
“So what’s the plan for tomorrow?” Harper asks, bringing one leg up on the couch, getting readjusted. Leaning her elbow on the back of the couch before resting her head in her hand.
“I booked a time slot for us to check out that trampoline park that’s nearby.” Running my fingers over the bottom half of my face. Noticing the facial hair is getting a little too long for my liking. I make a mental note to shave in the morning.
“A trampoline park you say?” Evie sits up taller in her seat, her interest piqued. “Do they have a dodgeball arena?”
“Here we go…” Harper mumbles.
“Okay, now I want to know why you’re so interested in whether there’s a dodgeball arena.” Josie inquires, looking at Evie, a small smirk on her face.
“It’s nothing. I’m just undefeated when it comes to dodgeball.” She responds nonchalantly, picking invisible dust off of her tank top. There’s a layer of confidence when she talks, but I’m a competitive mother fucker, and I’ll be damned if I walk away tomorrow without the win.
