Epilogue - Maddox
Life with Lacie was better than I could have imagined. She moved into my house and her mom took over the guest house. Carter ended up getting his own place—he found another person to live with, but that’s his story to tell. Turns out our new PR team became much, much more than just purveyors of interviews and tours.
Lacie’s mom responded well to the treatments. It was hard to say if she would recover, because the type of brain cancer she had was particularly aggressive, but there was hope. And for me, Lacie, and her mother, that was enough for now.
All six of us went on tour together, and it was the most successful tour of our careers. We had sold-out shows all around the world, and Morgan made sure the press was all over it. Lacie made us look good, and Veronica used her camera to take our image to the next level.
As a band, we went back to the music. We recovered from our six months of self-destruction and came together stronger than we’d ever been. We’d found our muses, and they’d centered us.
Lacie made me feel like a king, and she was my queen. I was right to refuse the prenup in the end, because Hillary told me the judge would have thrown out the will if he’d seen it. Apparently, it would have been evidence that it was a sham wedding.
I didn’t need a prenup anyway, because I knew Lacie was who I wanted to be with. She was perfect, and she was my everything.
I made love to her often, memorizing the way her face looked when she came. I explored her body as if it were my own, and loved every bit of her a little bit more each day.
When we got home from the tour, we took a full week in Hawaii to rest and relax, just the two of us. It was our long-overdue honeymoon.
One morning, Lacie went to the bathroom. When she re-emerged, with her silky robe doing nothing to hide her perfect body, I groaned.
“I have something to tell you,” she said. Her voice was low, and a sexy blush stained her cheeks. She walked over to my side of the bed, and I reached to untie her robe. She let me, standing in front of me without moving.
I ran my hands up her stomach and palmed her breast, letting out a breath.
“Have I ever told you how sexy you are?”
“Every day,” she laughed. She put her hand over mine and slid it down to her stomach, holding my palm against it.
“Maddox…” She said, looking at her stomach and back at me. She caught her lip in her teeth and opened her eyes wide.
My mouth fell open. “You’re…” I took a deep breath. “You’re pregnant?” I could hardly speak. The word came out as a whisper, and Lacie’s eyes misted up as a smile spread over her lips.
She nodded, and my heart exploded.
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me, kissing her passionately as she fell over me onto the bed, laughing.
“Oh, shit, sorry!” I said, laying her down beside me and running my hands over her abdomen. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Maddox,” she said, laughing.
“I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want to hurt the baby.”
“You won’t,” she said, grinning. “But if you’re telling me you won’t fuck me like you usually do just because there’s a baby growing inside me, we’re going to have to have a conversation about it.”
A grin spread over my lips and I shook my head. “Don’t worry, wifey. I’ll still fuck you exactly how you want me to.”
I kissed her, tangling my fingers into her hair and bringing her up towards me. She was so delicate in my arms, so perfect and feminine and mine.
I ran my hand over her stomach and she interlaced her fingers in mine.
“Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” I asked.
Lacie laughed. “No, not for a couple months.”
I shrugged, grinning. “Well I don’t know! I don’t know anything about babies.”
Lacie sighed, trailing her finger along my jaw. “Neither do I. I’m terrified.”
“You’re going to be a perfect mother,” I said, kissing her softly.
