That’s what I’d signed up for and I wasn’t backing out. Love didn’t work like that. Marriage didn’t work like that. Ever and I... we didn’t work like that, either.
I quickly realized that I wouldn’t last much longer than a minute or three. It felt like forever since I’d slid into her warmth. I wasn’t prepared, not mentally or emotionally.
“Come back to me,” I begged my wife as I felt my nut on the horizon, “Come back to me.”
“Okaaaaaaay,” she cried, tears streaming down her gorgeous face.
“I’m cummin,” I announced, reluctantly removing myself from her well.
It was the first time I’d ever forced myself out of Ever and it wasn’t easy. However, I understood that we weren’t in a position to bring another child into the world, not now. We had to work on getting her mental health in order so that we could care for the one we’d just had – and as a team instead of alone.
My dick was completely covered in her juices, wetting the bottom of her shirt when it made contact. I watched as my semen shot from the tip of my dick and soiled her top. Her eyes widened at the sight as a tired smile curved her lips upward. This was a first for us both and until I knew she was better, it would be the standard. I owed it to her, her mind, her body, her heart, and her spirit. They all deserved the break that we were ready to give them.
“Feeling better?” I asked when I returned with the towel to clean us both up.
All by herself, Ever had managed to remove her shirt and strip down to nothing. After birthing an entire squad, she was still flawless.To me. The tiny lines along her stomach were reminders of her sacrifices and I appreciated her for each one of them.
“I feel like...” She struggled to verbalize her sentiments. “Like I was just given the closest thing to a cure that I could’ve gotten.”
“Let me find out it was just some dick you needed all along,” I toyed, though I knew it wasn’t the case. My baby was battling something far beyond my imagination. “Sexual healing.”
“That’s not all I need but it really, really helped.”
“That’s good because you can have as much of it as you want over the next week. We’re hopping on a plane and getting out of here. You deserve some time away from it all and that’s exactly what you’re about to get.”
She perked up. The brightness in her eyes made butterflies swarm in my stomach and my heart pound against my chest. She was excited about something. That shit nearly made my head explode. However, she saddened just as quickly and then those big, watery eyes stopped the heart they'd made beat erratically.
“What about Lucas?” She worried.
Of course. It was just like her to worry, but with me around she didn't have to do that. We'd established that long ago but I guess she'd forgotten. I was going to make her remember though. I'd made sure to come up with a solid plan for the children. They'd be well taken care of while we were gone.
Between the women of my family, they wouldn't suffer a bit in our absence. Everyone was more than willing to lend a helping hand. And, when it came to Ever's health, they were ready to go the extra mile to assist with recovery. All we had to do was say the word.
“Don’t worry. It’s all straightened out. All of that breastmilk you’ve been storing in the event of an emergency is about to come in handy – for this emergency. They’re going to split time between my mom and your mom’s house. Then, there’s San. There’s also Lyric. They’ll be fine. I just want you to get better and I think this helps.”
“Can I at least see them before we go?” she asked, stunning me into silence.
I simply nodded my head for a few seconds while I tried to find the words to respond. I wasn’t in search of anything massive, but words, in general. Because, this was monumental. This was a step in the right direction. This was exactly what I’d been waiting for. My baby was on her way back to me... on her way back tous.
ELEVEN
She’smy whole world and I wonder if she knows it. From the driver’s seat, I admired my wife’s honey-colored skin that matched her brown eyes and blonde tresses. The sadness in her eyes and the heaviness of her emotions were written all over her beautiful face.
“What’s the matter?” I asked, reaching over and placing a hand on her thigh.
Though I knew exactly what was tugging at her heart, I wanted her to voice it in order for me to assure her that things would be fine.
“I just feel so… I just—,” she stuttered.
“Tell me how you feel, Ever. Tell me and don’t bury it. Be upfront and honest about whatever is bothering you.”
“Unfit,” she sighed as her body rocked, “I feel so unfit.”
“If ever I’m ill and can’t care for you or the children properly, I expect you to pick up the slack. The people around us, I expect them to chip in, too, because that’s what this shit is all about, baby. Making sure one another is straight. The village isn’t there to just be there. They’re ready and willing to help so we’re going to let them. You’re far from unfit. You’re sick, Ever. Just because your sickness doesn’t look like other sicknesses, it’s here and we’re handling it. Until you feel better, stop beating yourself up. And, even then, don’t beat yourself up. Okay?”
“Okay,” she answered, nodding as if it would help convince her of the things I’d just said.
“If you were unfit, I wouldn’t have fucked with you,” I chortled, confirming things she already knew, “Not knowing my plans for the future and the family I desired.”
