CHAPTER26
Brooklyn
I thought seeing Aryan at the altar holding McKinley was the sexiest sight I have ever seen but what I open my eyes to this morning tops that by far. The caduceus covering Aryan’s back flexes as he holds Mikey in the doorway of the balcony, as he feeds her her bottle. He is talking to her like she is an adult, and she can barely eat for grinning up at her father, she is such a Daddy’s girl. The lounge pants are hanging low on his hips, and his hair is still tousled from sleep. I forgot Jaasiel and Parker was bringing her to us today, we couldn’t imagine being gone from her for the entire month we would be on our honeymoon.
Her god parents agreed to bring her to us, for our last week here. Jaasiel and Parker were a no brainer to make her godparents and they have taken to it like a duck to water. It is a common occurrence to find Jaasiel in the kitchen with her strapped to his chest cooking. He will have her completely wrapped up so that nothing can splash on her. And if that isn’t bad enough, Parker had a set of white rubber brass knuckles teethers made for her to go along with her all-white onesie outfit and yes, a baby brim. They love her and she loves them, it is nothing to get a call telling us they are coming to get her.
We took a delayed honeymoon due to the compound being a mess from the gun fight and for the first time since they came home from the military they are not living together. Aryan and I are at my house, but the brothers are living at their resort for now. Most of the private wings had minor damage but the main part was heavily damaged, requiring a lot of work to be done and rather than try to live in a construction zone everyone decided to leave so the work can get done sooner.
“How long are you going to lay there ogling me woman?”
“As long as I like, I mean look at you,”
“I can call her god parents so I can get you right,”
“Get me right?” I say thinking about how he had me folded up last night. “I’m probably already pregnant again even though I am on birth control.”
“Birth control,” he says laughing. “That’s cute,”
“Aryan!”
“I’m just saying but do what you need to do to feel like you’re in control,” he says smiling at me. “How about you get your sexy ass up and come sit with me and your daughter,” he says from the balcony.
I get up wrapping the sheet around me and walk out to where my family is, taking a seat on the chaise lounge next to Aryan and Mickey.
“I have been thinking,”
“Okay, thinking about what?” I ask genuinely curious.
“If you have room at your clinic for one more doctor,” he asks, and I freeze.
“Are you saying what I think you are saying?” I ask scared of his answer and excited for his answer all at the same time.
“I think I am ready to practice medicine again but only by your side, if you’ll have me.”
“Aryan, if I’ll, have you? Of course, I will! What made you change your mind,”
“You baby, it was a long road and I know I held onto a lot of shit I didn’t have to but I didn’t think I would be able to work through the grief, but you didn’t give up on me even when I deserved for you too. But even more than that, seeing you overcome all the bullshit at the hospital and starting your own practice has rekindled my love for medicine, and this time medicine didn’t fail me when I needed it to bring Mickey into the world. Most of all I want to do this with you, you and our daughter are everything to me, my anchor, and my solace,”
I wipe my eyes because out of everything I was expecting him to say that was not it. “What about Dr. Mack?”
“Fuck him!” he says smiling.
“You do not mean that, that man is out with y’all all the damn time. He is an honorary Gideon,”
“That’s not the point,” he says laughing. “But keep him, there can be three doctors besides I am going to work part time for a while it’s been years since I practiced so I am going to start off slow,”
“Will you do me a favor?” I ask.
“Sure, what is it?”
“Will you wear the lab coat and nothing else for me?” I asked him.
“Only if you put your feet in the stir-ups for me,” he says.
“Why are we like this?” I ask wiping tears from my eyes and trying to catch my breath.
“Cause we’re both nasty as hell. Don’t worry Mickey, you’ll have a little brother or sister soon,” he says into her hair.
