“And do you, Evie, take Ethan to be your husband for as long as you shall live?”
“I do.”
“Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now seal the vow with a kiss.”
He wasted no time in pulling me for a sweet, long kiss that made the crowd erupt in coos.
When I pulled back, I saw Sophie beside Ethan, presenting a ring.
She was in a pink spaghetti-strap gown, her hair pulled into a pigtail with the hair clip I’d gifted her resting on one side of her head. She looked beautiful.
My heart warmed as she glanced between the two of us and shot me a small smile.
Ethan held my hand softly before carefully inserting the large, round-cut diamond ring onto my finger.
My bridesmaid, Emma, presented me with Ethan’s ring. I carefully inserted the small diamond ring on his finger.
“You look even more beautiful now that you’re mine,” he smiled.
I smiled.
“And you look even more handsome now that you’re mine.”
This was a dream come true… He was my dream come true.

Five Months Later
“Mommy, Daddy is cheating!” Sophie cried out as she rushed to throw her arms around me.
She had been playing a game with Ethan for a couple of minutes, I wondered why Ethan would cheat.
It had been about five months since the wedding. Things had been going even better. Sophie had resumed school. She was now very vocal…and had long accepted me as her mother.
I smiled when I recalled the first time she called me her mother. It had come as a surprise. I never expected it. And even now, each time she called me that, there was a pleasurable tug in my stomach.
Slowly, I got up from the couch where I’d been watching a TV series, eating dark chocolate, and locked hands with her.
Don't judge me, this wasn't my usual thing, but it became so after I took maternity leave at my new place of volunteering. It was a school.
At first, Ethan didn't want me there. He said it was in mine and the baby’s best interest if we stayed at home, but I insisted. So basically, I was just enjoying a little pregnancy leave until the time I'd pop off.
Sophie tightened her small hands in mine. I was suddenly aware of the task at hand, we were going to confront Daddy.
“My baby said you're cheating. Is that true?” I inquired when I got to the playroom— with feigned anger.
Ethan’s voice dropped low, eyes lingering on my chest before settling on my huge bump.
“And what if I was?” He rasped, his voice sending a rumble through my core.
I swear he did it on purpose. Leveraging on how horny I usually was, he deliberately did things like this to make me… ugh.
What game were they playing anyway? When I saw the balls scattered around, I knew it was a game of shapes or numbers.
Ethan stuck his tongue out, and Sophie giggled. I shook my head with a small giggle.
“Do you have proof?” Ethan continued playfully but his eyes held something else.
