My father sniffs and rises to his feet, linking his arm through mine. “It would be my pleasure, sweetheart. Let’s do this.”
At the church, I feel like an angel as I float down the aisle, a string quartet playing as I walk toward the love of my life. Ethan waits at the altar, his face full of emotions as he watches me arrive. I know from the look in his eyes how much he loves me. I know that I’ll never have to feel like no one wants me ever again, because our love is eternal. He’ll always be there for me.
My father kisses my cheek as I reach the altar, giving me away to Ethan. A month ago, I could never have imagined he’d accept us in this way. Now, he’s given us his blessing to get married. This really is a dream come true.
I join hands with Ethan and look deep into my love's eyes. How did I land someone so perfect? Someone who tends to my every need. The only man on earth who can bring so many emotions out of me. And now, he’s going to be the father of my child. He’s going to be my husband, and we’re going to go through life together hand in hand. It’s all I’ve ever wanted from life, and now I get to experience it for real.
“Are you ready for this?” he whispers, brushing his thumb over my knuckles. I smile back at him.
“So ready.”
Extended Epilogue
A year later…
Ethan
The sound of a baby crying wakes me from my sleep and I smile. Sometimes when I’m still waking from sleep, I forget this new life I have is real. The life I always wanted. My beautiful wife stirs next to me, trying to sit up. She’s been exhausted since the baby arrived, doing a lot of night shifts caring for our baby girl. We named her Angel because that’s what she is. Still, she’s not so angelic when she wakes us up in the middle of the night.
“I think she wants a feeding,” August says, attempting to get out of bed slowly. I put my hand on her shoulder from behind, then kiss her neck.
“We’ll both go.”
“No, you should go back to sleep. We don’t both need of us to be sleep deprived and I don’t really want to try her with bottled milk just yet.”
“It’s okay, baby. I want to be there to support you. We’re a family now. This is what we do. Look after one another,” I say. August’s eyes fill with tears that she quickly wipes away.
“Damn, you’re making me emotional again. All these hormones since Angel was born, they’re driving me crazy.”
“It’s okay. I’m here for you.”
We head to Angel’s nursery together, my arm around August to keep her warm. We find Angel writhing in her crib, her face red as she cries. I hate seeing her so upset, but I know she’ll be fine once she gets her milk.
August leans over the crib and scoops Angel out, shushing her gently.
“It’s okay, darling, we’re here now. You want some milk now, don’t you? Good girl, good girl…”
August sits with Angel in the chair beside her crib, offering up her breast to our baby girl. She begins to suckle happily, satiated immediately. I watch August with pride. She’s such a good mother. She’s been a natural from the start. Even though she never had a mom growing up, she’s still learned how to be the best mother possible. She never fails to amaze me.
Life has been tiring since Angel arrived, but I know neither of us would change it for the world. Despite the sleepless nights, learning on the job, and making mistakes, we’re in this together, and we’re watching our dreams come true right now. I never thought I’d have a family like this. I thought it was too late for me. But now I know that I was just waiting for August to come along.
I was right on time.
“Hopefully she’ll be able to get some sleep now,” August whispers, rocking Angel gently in her arms as she finishes breastfeeding. I watch August kiss our daughter’s head so tenderly that it warms my heart. How did I get such a perfect wife, such a perfect daughter? I’m the luckiest man alive.
“She’ll be okay now. Come on, let me take you back to bed.”
We return to bed together and my arms wrap around August. Sometimes when we wake up in the night like this, my primal urges take over. There’s something about seeing August being a mother that really turns me on. I think it’s seeing how caring she is, seeing how perfectly she has fallen into her role as a wife and a mother. She’s my dream woman, and as my cock rises between my legs, I just can’t resist her at all.
