A giggle escaped her mouth as she slid back into the passenger’s seat. I’d never get tired of hearing that sound.

She pulled the pack of baby wipes out of the glove box and handed one over to me before she took one for herself.

“Having kids does come in handy, I guess,” she said with a laugh.

I laughed with her as I tied the condom off and wrapped it up in the wipe.

“Here,” she said as she held open an old, empty to-go cup. I shook my head as I dropped the trash down into it. With a shrug, she closed the lid back up and set it down in the holder. “Don’t let me forget that.”

I laughed again.

“Home?” I asked her just to make sure there wasn’t anything else she wanted to do.

“Yes. I am not done with you yet.” She smiled at me. A sexy, mischievous smile that had me half hard in a second.

Oh, I wasn’t done with her either and I knew I’d never fucking be.

It was going to be a long night.

Hell, I wasn’t complaining.

I thought I had nailed the first date thing, for sure.

I stood there in my cream dress feeling like a bundle of live nerves. I was buzzing with excitement and I couldn’t seem to wipe the smile off of my face. Sparrow was on my hip in a tiny dress that matched mine. She was so cute.

I glanced over at Mouse on the other side of the aisle and no surprise, his eyes were already on me. His smile grew the moment I met his eyes. I looked down to see Chry standing tall at Mouse’s side with his little hand in Mouse’s.

I didn’t have to look to know that Brand, Lake, and B-ry were all standing over on his side too.

The warm air whipped around my face and I deeply inhaled the salt air.

The ‘I dos’ would be coming soon and I couldn’t wait.

Our attention shifted as the crowd moved around, turning in their seats to see the wonderful couple walk down hand-in-hand like they’d decided to do.

Chris’ smile was blinding and I had never seen my brother look happier. Chris wore black slacks and a white button-up shirt that fit him snuggly, the top button undone to make it look more relaxed. My brother matched him, only he was wearing black jeans and a plain, white tee shirt. It worked on some level and was so perfectly them. They were so cute, though I’d never tell my brother that.

Oh, did you think this was my wedding? Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear.

Today, two of my favorite people were finally taking the plunge, or so I’d heard a few people say it that way.

And no, Mouse and I wouldn’t be following them.

I knew that some people wouldn’t understand my lack of need to get married. I guess to the outside world, it was strange.

Date, move in, get engaged, then married. And then maybe have kids. I had sort of learned that was usually the way it was supposed to go. Maybe in an ideal life.

Mouse and I had done it all out of order from the beginning so why change it now?

I was his.

He was mine.

And we both shared a son and a daughter.

That was all I needed.
