“We are one.”

We’ve been here before, eight months ago when we lost our first little one. It was an accident. One of those things you can never prepare for—it’s out of your hands—and no matter how much you think what if the drunk asshole who slammed into my car didn’t drink that night, it’s useless.

Nothing changes the outcome after the fact.

He decided to drive drunk after a coke bender.

He decided to hit his wife and then leave her locked in their basement.

He made a decision that changed our lives.

But more than that, we faced the heartache on our own, while Javier made an example of the unscathed driver. He made sure the man never made it to court, killing him outside his home with an old rusty ax his wife provided.

“I love you, Javier. So much.” My voice breaks a bit, and he turns me, wrapping me in an embrace. His forehead on mine. “Please know that I never meant to hide you or our babies. Both of them,” I whisper, tasting his every exhale. Letting the tears fall, because I know no matter what, he’s my rock. My haven. “All I ever wanted was a bit of normalcy. To keep this perfect little bubble we’ve created where I’m me and you take me with every quirk.”

“I do that with pride, Mariah. You’re mine.”

“Always yours.”

Warm fingers sweep across my cheeks, clearing the traces of my emotions and then healing every fear with a kiss on my lips. Just one pec settles me. Just a simple touch to let me know he’s here.

I’m not alone. I’m loved. I’m protected.

“Are you ready to let them know?

“I’m ready to marry you again.” He tilts his head, brows furrowed, but before he can ask, I’m slipping to one knee. Our new rings are in my pocket; a special set I had made with our wedding date inscribed along with our babies’ due dates. “So will you make an honest woman of me again and renew our vows?”

“You had this planned.” Not a question. I see the small shiver that rushes through him.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Yes, you will, or yes, I’m crazy.”

Javi doesn’t respond. Instead, I’m lifted off the ground and swept off my feet. He’s a determined man with a smile on his face that sends my heart into a frenzy as he rushes inside and comes to a stop in front of our family.

Everyone watches us with a smile, not understanding his erratic breathing and my goofy grin.

“We’ve been married for over three years now and I’m sorry we’ve kept it hidden. I don’t apologize for loving her, for living for her, and anyone who gives her shit will deal with me.” My face heats up while silence surrounds us. I peek up and catch a few people with surprised expressions and others that look smug. My aunt and uncle look smug. Do they know? “Now, I’m going to take my wife upstairs, thank her for giving me this beautiful life—the baby growing within—and then renew our vows. Do not interrupt, or I will shoot you.”

“Oh my God!”

“My baby!”

“Jesus, Javi,” I giggle, smacking his shoulders while those in the room begin to protest. However, one look from the man I love, and they file out and into the backyard with London leading the pack. She’s smiling, winking at me, and gives us a thumbs up before closing the door.

The music begins a second later.

Laughter seeps through the glass.

And it’s exactly how our first wedding should’ve been, surrounded by those we love. Full of happiness and... oh fuck!

“But first, you’ll choke on my cock...” Javi’s lips are at my ear, nipping and teasing with the tip of his tongue “…while I eat your pretty little pink pussy. I want your juices on my face, your release on my tongue before I impale you and watch you shatter all over again. I want your sobs of pleasure and sweaty skin. I want to worship, then fuck you until you break, and then, I do is the only thing that will slip past those lips.”

“Yes, please.” It leaves me on a moan. A breathless plea, and Javier nods against my neck.

“Your wish will always be my command, Muñeca.”
