In the kitchen of a house nestled on a steep street in San Francisco stood a petite redhead named Lydia Bradford. Around the holiday season she liked to reflect back on her life. As she stood gazing out of the kitchen's bay window, thoughts and memories of how grateful she was for the life she had filled her head, making her oblivious to the chatter and laughter floating through out the house that surrounded her like a warm blanket as well as to the person entering the kitchen stealthily.

Some of her fondest memories that she always looked back on were with her husband. Memories of how her husband had proposed to her on the night of their 5th anniversary of being a couple when they were both only 19 years old. Memories of they had tied the knot on a sunny summer day at the beach in the middle of August a year later. Memories of when they had announced that they were engaged to their friends and family members and were told that they were too young and that they should wait awhile before getting married. In the end Aiden and Lydia didn't listen to their objections because they had always known that they were meant for each other.

A hard enough but gentle smack on her butt drew her from her memories. Looking behind her, she saw that the culprit was none other than her husband Aiden. Even after being married to him for 3 years, he still managed to make her blush. Her husband was a very affectionate man even out in public.

"Aiden, you startled me." Lydia said, inhaling sharply while placing a delicate hand over her heart.

"Sorry babe, what were you thinking about?" Aiden asked apologetically, a concern puppy dog expression etched across his chiseled face as his rough hands clasped both sides of her waist to turn her gently around to face him.

"Oh, just thinking about how lucky I am." Lydia replied, gazing up into his caramel colored eyes that were speckled with hints of gold. Oh, how she loved his eyes and could get easily lost in them for hours. Lydia hoped their future children would inherit his tallness, his beautiful eyes and her red hair and hoped they wouldn't inherit her pale skin. Aiden easily towered over the crowd at 6'3 and Lydia blended into it at 5' 2.

"Well you make me feel like the luckiest man on the planet." He said giving her his thousand watt smile that flashed his dimples and made her insides melt as he clasped the back of her head to draw her lips to his for a quick kiss.

" Geez, you two get a room." A masculine voice bellowed from the doorway causing them to jump apart.

When moments like these happened, Lydia was glad her husband was tall and she could hide her blushing face against his chest. "Hey Ethan." Lydia said blushing against Aiden's muscular chest.

"Hey bro, where's the wife?" Aiden asked his twin brother Ethan. One interesting fact about Aiden and Ethan is that they were born in different months. Ethan on July 31st and Aiden on August 1st. Even though Aiden was the younger one, he was a head taller than Ethan and had a more muscular stature. Whenever the twins were out in public together, most people did a double take at how identical the 2 of them looked. To the people who knew the twins, the differences in each of them weren't that hard to spot.

Aiden was referring to Ethan's wife and her best friend Allison. Like Aiden and Lydia, they had been introduced to each other by Lydia their sophomore year of high school. During freshman year Allison and Lydia had become fast best friends when Allison had moved to Beacon Hills from New York. Lydia considered Allison to be a sister to her and they had gone through a lot together over the years. Because Lydia and Allison had been in a different social circle than Ethan and Aiden, they didn't meet one another until their sophmore year when Lydia, Aiden and Ethan had all been in the same history class.

She remembers the first moment she had seen Aiden come sauntering through the double doors of the high school. The first thought she had ever had of him was how smoking hot she thought he was as he sauntered through the hallway clutching a motorcycle helmet and wearing a black motorcycle jacket, leather gloves, dark jeans, blue shirt. She remembers standing at her locker openly staring at him as he and Ethan walked past. Because Jackson had dumped her that previous summer and left for England she had desperately needed a distraction to get her mind off him. She had told Allison that he would be her "distraction" until she got tired of him to get over Jackson. Lydia didn't have to wait to long to put her plan into motion as she and the twins shared the same English class with the new teacher Ms. Blake. After running into each other a few times outside of class Aiden and Lydia had progressed from hanging out, to best friends, to becoming boyfriend and girlfriend within a few months. She still remembers the moment Aiden had asked her to be his girlfriend as they were standing at her locker after school. Ethan on the other hand she considered to not only be her best friend but also a big brother she never had. One day, when they were all seated having lunch together in the cafeteria she couldn't help but notice the chemistry between Ethan and Allison as they bantered back and forth and suggested that they should all go on a double date sometime and the rest is history. Back in the beginning stages of Aiden and Lydia's relationship, the twins had tested Lydia to see if she knew which twin was which and she had passed much to her relief because she really liked Aiden and it had been easy for her because he was a foot taller than Ethan.

"She's in the dinning room setting the table with mom." Ethan replied as Lydia let the fond memories drift from her mind.

Lydia took this moment to extract herself from Aiden's embrace "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go join them," leaving the kitchen with a wink and a blown kiss to Aiden. Already outside the door to the kitchen but still within hearing distance of Aiden and Ethan, she heard Ethan loudly asking "What do you do to make Lydia so flirty?" to which Aiden replied, "Happy wife equals happy life bro." His cockiness made Lydia enter the living room with a smile on her face. Aiden went above and beyond everyday to make Lydia the happiest wife on the world by just putting her needs before his own and vice versa. Lydia liked that she could rely on him but at the same time still be her independent spirited self.

Lydia remembers the first time she had been to Aiden's house, after they had been dating for 6 months and how friendly of an environment it was. She also remembers fondly the moment she had met Aiden's mom and dad and how nervous she had been, how tightly she had gripped Aiden's hand and how well she had hit it off with both of his parents. Turns out that she didn't need to be nervous because they were the friendliest, welcoming, outspoken, honest, funniest and blunt people she had ever met. Her first impression of his parents was that his mom was a petite ball of energy and his dad was a tall, loud and protective family man.

Lydia, Allison and Mom made their way to the kitchen to finish up the various preparations on the food after finishing setting up the table in the dinning room. As usual they had to kick the men out of the kitchen when they kept trying to sample the food, making the women resort to banishing them to the man cave. Just like every time the three women got together this time was no different, always filled with laughter and gossip.

Aiden's mom was such a good cook that Lydia and Aiden dropped in often for her home cooked meals and cooking lessons. Lydia always looked forward to learning new recipes from his mom because growing up she always had a cook prepare her meals. Two of Aiden's favorite meals were mac and cheese and red velvet cheesecake, so whenever he couldn't come for the cooking lessons, she would practice making it with mom. She wanted to be good enough by the time his birthday came around so she could make them as a surprise. Lydia loved Aiden's mom dearly and considered her more of a mother to her than her own had ever been.

A few hours later, they were all seated at the table salivating over all the delicious thanksgiving trimmings. Like every thanksgiving celebration, they would bless the meal and say what they were thankful for before digging into the delicious food. No matter where they were, Lydia and Aiden still acted like newlyweds, Lydia hoped that would never fade. Lydia would always say the same thing she was thankful for every year but she wanted her answer to be different this year. The thankful statements made their way around the table until finally it was Lydia's turn.

"I'm thankful for this family." She said smiling at her husband, which earned her a gentle hand squeeze and wink from Aiden. Leaning over to him she gave him a quick kiss on the lips and whispered an "I love you." "I love you too babe." He replied while draping an arm over her shoulder. As the food was passed around the table, Aiden helped load up her plate with food that he knew wouldn't make her sick. Lydia had never been a picky eater and his family knew she wasn't. While he was loading up her plate with food she was shocked that no one caught on to her picky food selections. She would always eat a little bit of everything his mother made. By the end of dinner everyone was so stuffed from food, gossip and laughter that they couldn't even think about eating dessert for a while. As Lydia, Allison and mom were tidying up and cleaning the dirty dishes their conversation turned to the topic of babies.

"When am I going to get some grandbabies?" Mom asked inquisitively turning her questioning gaze on both of them.

"Sorry to tell you this but we won't be having babies for at least 2 more years." Lydia said sympathetically, missing the crestfallen look on Mom's face.

"Same here." Allison echoed, "Ethan and I are just not ready yet." Allison shared a sly glance with Lydia as soon as Mom turned around. Just that morning when they were talking on the phone, Lydia had sworn Allison to secrecy about her pregnancy.

A few months ago, on one football Sunday Allison and Ethan had come over to their home to watch the San Francisco 49ers play a home game against the New York Giants. While preparing appetizers in the kitchen Lydia and Allison's chatter turned to the topic of babies. Later that night as they got ready for bed, Lydia told Aiden that she wanted to start trying to get pregnant. That night's declaration had led to 6 months worth of trying to get pregnant. A week ago Lydia was ready to stop religiously trying when one night she suddenly became nauseous over the smell of sausage Aiden was cooking for dinner. Seeing his wife dash quickly out of the kitchen towards the bathroom had caused him to rush after her, dinner forgotten on the stove. Reaching around from behind, Aiden gently pushed the hair out of her eyes and gathered the rest of it in one hand while the other hand gently rubbed her back as she heaved over the toilet.

As soon as she felt better she sent Aiden to the kitchen to retrieve a glass of water, brushed her teeth then grabbed one of the pregnancy test packages from under the sink. Just that morning at the grocery store she had bought it in the hopes she would be pregnant soon. Not wanting to say anything to Aiden until she was sure she stuck it in a drawer near the sink and waited until he left the bathroom after handing her the glass of water. After taking a few sips of water, she reached back into the drawer, grabbed it and headed to the toilet. After she peed on the stick, those 5 minutes of waiting passed as slow as a snail for Lydia. When the time was up, she called Aiden back into the bathroom and asked him to look at the test lying on the counter. She will never forget his expression as he first looked at the test with confusion then excitement. Lydia wished she had had a camera to capture that moment. So many emotions flooded through Lydia as the fact that she was pregnant hit her, she was excited most of all for this little being they had created and soaring with happiness.

"Baby, I'm so happy." Aiden said giving her a bear hug and twirling her around as soon as she finished brushing her teeth.

"Honey, I am too but you're crushing me and making me dizzy."

"Oh sorry." Aiden said bashful, loosening his hold on her and setting her down gently stroking her stomach.

"You're forgiven." Lydia said with a laugh, placing her arms around his neck and drawing him down for a deep kiss. A deep kiss that turned into a make out session that led to hours of fun in the bedroom.

Lydia was once again dragged from her thoughts when Allison waved a hand in front of her face "Lydia are you in there?" Allison asked laughter in her eyes.

"Yea, sorry I was just thinking." Lydia replied with a laugh and excused herself to go find her husband in the man cave.

Lydia gingerly walked down the steep stairs leading to the basement as the sound of loud cheering, laughter and the television blaring a local game in the background echoing out from the man cave lead her to the conclusion that her husband was somewhere in there. Before leaving the kitchen, Lydia had been given strict instructions from Mom to tell the men that dessert was ready. Not bothering to knock, Lydia quietly pushed the door open, cleared her throat loudly so that she could be heard.

"Excuse me guys, I hate to interrupt but dessert is ready and waiting to be devoured." She announced while entering the doorway and nearly got plowed down by Ethan rushing out of the man cave.

"Hey Ethan, watch it." Aiden shouted, glaring at his brother's back, concern displayed on his face as he rushed to her side.

"Sorry Lydia." Ethan bellowed loudly, already at the top of the stairs.

"You ok?" Aiden asks, placing both hands on her belly and rubbing circles on it in a soothing motion.

"I'm fine." She reassured him placing a soft hand over his own.

"Now go get pieces of that pie for us before it's all gone." Lydia joked, slapping his butt before he rushed up the stairs and she trailed behind admiring the fine view in front of her. There were many qualities that her husband had that she loved, but when he cared about her well being in a protective manner, she just wanted to bear hug her big soft teddy bear of a husband.

After dessert was finished they all said their goodbyes and headed home. Aiden guided Lydia to their car with an arm draped around her waist while she carried an armful of leftovers and the remainder of the pie. Since, Lydia and Aiden lived only 6 blocks from his family home, they had debated about walking but had ended up taking the car. After opening the passenger door for her, Aiden gently took the leftovers and placed them in the back seat before climbing in the driver's side and with the turn of a key guided the car in the direction of home. Within minutes of crawling into bed and as soon as their heads hit the soft down pillows they were fast asleep with Aiden's hands resting on her belly as he spooned her from behind.

Although most people would be sleeping in on a Saturday, they had to start their day off by getting up at 8 am to be at work by no later than 10 am. Aiden and Ethan co- owned a pizzeria called Heaven Scent in the heart of downtown San Francisco. They had opened up Heaven Scent last year and were pleased to see it was doing very successful. After testing out many pizza recipes and making their own sauces, they had finally perfected it along with the secret ingredients. Aiden had been saving up for his own business since he had gotten a job a local pizza joint in Beacon Hills his freshman year of high school and had always dreamed about being his own boss. Lydia would help whenever they needed an extra person to be a floater.

Aiden's P. O. V

Saturday morning Aiden was the first to get up and since he and Lydia both were not morning people, he had set the alarm on his iPhone for 8 am the night before. Stretching like a cat he slowly sat up in bed, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, grabbed his phone from the side table to turn off the alarm and glanced at the sleeping form of Lydia.

"Boy, she looks so beautiful and peaceful when she's asleep." He thought to himself. He considered himself a very lucky man when she had agreed to date him, get engaged to him and then married him. Still looking at her, lying there on her side made him long to give her a kiss but he knew that that would wake her. Pushing aside the comforter and grabbing his phone, he headed to the bathroom to get ready and to call his brother to discuss some business. As he was showering, he wished he had woken Lydia up so that she could join him for some quick fun in the shower.

From the minute they had found out that they were pregnant, she would catch him constantly checking her out, so much to the point it would make her blush. He loved it when she would blush at his displays of affection. Two days ago, they had set up a doctor's appointment for the following week and Aiden couldn't wait to hear his baby's heartbeat. Since she wasn't showing that much yet, Aiden had done some research on the Internet and guesstimated that she was at least 1- 2 months along. After discussing whether or not to tell family, they decided to wait until she was at least 6 months along just to be on the safe side.

From the first time, literally the first moment Aiden had seen her laughing in the high school hallway at something Allison had said, her red head tossed back, curls bouncing, he got the hots for her. In the three years they had been married that had not changed and he knew it never would. Even as her pregnancy progressed, he would still have the hots for her. The thought of their child cooking inside of her belly, as well as the thought that his swimmers were strong, gave him a cocky proud feeling that made him want to shout and fist pump his excitement from the rooftops.

Drying himself off as he stepped out of shower, the roughness of the towel felt good on his cock. Dropping the towel to the floor, he glanced towards the bed to see her still peacefully asleep and after checking the time on his phone, decided it was time to wake her up. Knowing the sight of seeing him naked turned on his wife he opted against wearing a towel. The chill of the air conditioning did nothing to deter the hardness of his cock as he sauntered over to the bed. Climbing onto the bed, he leaned over her to place a soft kiss on her lips. When the kiss didn't wake her up, he gently shook her and slapped her butt gently over and over again until she stirred.

"I'm awake, I'm awake." Lydia protested, her eyes fluttering open as she stretched out like a cat basking in the sun. Due to his seated position on the bed, Lydia was eye level with rippling muscles and hardness. Lydia loved seeing him naked and was used to seeing him walking around the house in a constant state of nakedness whenever he had the chance. Heck, he even slept in the nude.

"Good morning baby, did you sleep well?" Aiden asked, sprawling out beside her and intertwining their fingers.

"I feel like I slept for days but I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," Lydia said.

"I would love some chocolate chip waffles." She continued just as her stomach let out a huge grumble. She had been craving waffles every morning for a week now. As far as cravings went she liked this one because she loved chocolate.

"I will make those for you on one condition." Aiden bartered, twirling a strand of her strawberry scented hair around his finger.

"Okay, what's the condition?" she asked in a chipper sounding voice while sitting upright, her back against the pillows.

"My one condition is that you get your pretty little behind out of bed and get ready for work." He said, climbing out of bed and disappearing into their closet to get ready. Emerging minutes later, he heard the shower running and whistled as he barreled down the stairs towards the kitchen.

Lydia's P.O.V.

Music blared out of the shower radios tiny speakers, echoing off the tiled walls as she sung slightly off key to a Mumford & Sons song. While rubbing body wash all over her naked skin, her hand came to rest on her belly marveling at the life forming. Smiling, she washed the shampoo out of her hair, rinsed her body and washed her face.

The minute she stepped out the shower, the smell of waffles wafted upstairs towards Lydia through the vents. Her mouth watered at the delicious smell and her stomach let out another loud grumble. Wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she headed to the closet to don a pair of lavender skinny jeans, a tight black shirt and black toms. Then after blow drying, straightening her hair and putting on light makeup she flew down the stairs carefully. Checking the time on her phone she was surprised to see that it was already 9:30 am.

Entering the kitchen, she found Aiden seated at the table chowing down on a massive stack of waffles wearing her favorite outfit of his: a faded denim shirt and charcoal gray pants with motorcycle boots and his hair style in a mohawk. When he glanced up from his plate to look at her, she couldn't help but laugh at the sight of him with his mouth stuffed full. The sound of chair legs scraping back made Lydia think he was done as she grabbed her own plate and placed two waffles on it, rubbing butter and squirting syrup on the still hot waffles. Turning around, her hands loosely clutching her plate, she found Aiden still seated at the table patting his lap and looking at her expectantly. Setting her plate down on the table, she settled into his lap with his arms encircling her waist, his hands coming to rest on her belly as she munched away on the delicious breakfast. Lydia had 4 pieces of waffle left when she became too stuffed to eat anymore. Stabbing the 4 pieces with her fork, she offered them to Aiden.

"Do you want these?" Lydia asked, holding the fork to his mouth, already knowing his answer would be a yes. At the end of any meal if Lydia had any food left on her plate, he would always finish it off for her. Grasping her hand with his, he stuck the fork into his open mouth and swallowed the remaining pieces of waffle, not even bothering to chew. Peering over his shoulder she glanced at the time on the microwave's display.

"We better get going." She said, reluctantly sliding off his lap to rinse their plates off in the sink and placed them in the dishwasher.

"You look so hot baby, I wish I could take your clothes off piece by piece and fuck you here in the kitchen, but we would be late for work." Aiden said, need laced in his voice and hunger and regret flashing in his eyes as he looked at her from head to toe.

"Well there's always tonight." Lydia promised batting her eyelashes at the sink, she approached him to intertwine their fingers and drew him down for a quick kiss.

"You look very handsome in that outfit by the way." She continued breaking the kiss, winking at him and dragging him by the hand into the garage. Releasing her hand, he opened the passenger door for her and she plopped down into the seat with a thud. To impress her, he tried sliding across the hood but ended up falling on his butt. Lydia hid her giggles behind her hand as he brushed himself off and got in the car.

"You think that's funny huh?" Aiden asked, a fake look of hurt on his face as he pulled out the garage.

"Oh yeah very funny." Lydia said, struggling to contain her laughter. Aiden couldn't stay "fake" angry at her for long when he was the one who could make her laugh like that. Oh how he loved seeing her face and eyes light up merrily when she laughed. Before they knew it, it was the end of the day finishing the daily cleanup and locking the doors to the pizzeria. At the request of her husband to go sit down in office as he finished up, she plopped into the comfy swivel chair, releasing a sigh as she slipped out of her shoes and began to massage her feet. She knew that her feet would ache more and more as the pregnancy progressed but dang it she was already tired from being on her feet all day. Knowing Aiden would be a while and to pass the time she listened to Pandora as she logged onto Pinterest and searched for baby related things.

"Knock, Knock." Aiden's husky masculine joked from behind her as he covered her eyes; his hands warm against her cold forehead.

"Who's there?" Lydia played along, tugging his hands away from her eyes.

"Aiden."

"Aiden who."

"Aiden you glad it's me and not Ethan." Aiden mentally slapped his forehead. His knock knock joke was horrible but he had thought of it in the spur of the moment. So he had to give himself some credit for that.

"Oh honey, that joke was terrible but I love it when you try to be funny and besides that I can tell the difference between you and Ethan." Lydia got up from her chair and enveloped him into a hug, his head coming to rest on top of hers.

Glancing into his beautiful eyes, Lydia whispered "Besides I find you way hotter than Ethan, so much hotter that I want to jump your bones right here and right now but I want to go home and fuck you in our warm bed." The moment her soft pink lips formed those words his cock began to salute like a soldier and he tugged her by the hand out the back door, quickly locked it and deposited her in the car. He rushed home so fast that he was glad that a cop hadn't pulled him over on his mission to get into his wife's pants.

While they were on their honeymoon they had made promises to each other to never go to bed angry at one another and to have sexy time almost every day of the week. In the 3 years they have been married they have kept true to those 2 promises. He thanked his lucky stars that he ended up married to a fiery, spirited redhead who was secretly a nympho. There were many other qualities he loved about Lydia but he didn't have the time to name them because he was currently pulling into the garage of their home. Making his way around to the opened passenger door, he clasped her hand to help her down from his high Dodge truck. Once her feet landed on the ground he put her in a fireman's hold over his shoulder and carried her to their bedroom, slapping her butt along the way.

Inside their bedroom, he slid her down the front of his body until her legs were wrapped tightly around his waist. His hard erection became evident against her belly as he pressed himself closer. Leaning down, his hands busily squeezing her ass, he captured her mouth in a deep kiss, their tongues dancing the tango inside their mouths. This lasted for only a few more minutes until their heated kisses and anticipation of sex made them begin to frantically tear at each other's clothes. Unclasping her legs from his waist, she slid down the front of him. As she slowly made her way down she relished the hardness of his erection against her and came to a stop on the floor resting on her knees, eye level with his cock.

Wanting to suck on his cock like it was a delicious treat, she quickly undid and unzipped his pants and sliding them down was pleasantly surprised that he was commando underneath. Aiden moaned when his cock became unconfined, of the tight denim.

"Hot damn." Lydia thought, as she looked at Aiden in all his naked glory, pausing to admire his 6 pack and muscular biceps.

Grasping the base of his dick in one hand, she sucked the head of his cock into her mouth, licking his slit with his tongue. She enjoyed the taste of his precum before releasing it with a pop to lick the underside of the shaft. Aiden was pretty sure that his eyes rolled back in his head from the intense pleasure of her blowjob. Aiden barely controlled his urge to thrust into her mouth as she sucked down as much of his length as she could. Knowing he would come any second, he let her head to bob up and down on his cock few more times before he withdrew his wet cock from her mouth. Pulling her up from the floor, he pushed her against the wall, smashed his mouth against hers and tasted his essence on her lips.

"Oh God, I love it when he's rough." She thought purring.

Aiden had the ability to always turn her on at the drop of a hat, with anything he loved it when he exerted dominance and used his size as an advantage over her. Heck she got turned on every time he stripped in front of her. The first time they had had sex and she had seen his cock she had been pleased by the size of it. The first time she had taken his cock for a test drive, his cock had snugly fit inside her pussy, filling it to the max at a thick 9 inches. Burying her fingers in his hair she pulled him in for another kiss. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she pulled him closer, needing to feel him against her.

"Oh baby, fuck me and fuck me hard. Make me scream." Lydia turned his brain to mush when she bucked her hips against his stomach, reminding him of the position they were currently in. Her eyes locked with his, as he inserted the tip of his cock to rest in her pussy. Pausing to make sure he wouldn't come right then and there, he took the time to admire the beautiful sight in front of him. In that moment, she reminded him of the goddess Aphrodite with her eyes bathed in lust, her plump lips swollen and her long red hair a tangled sexy mess and chest heaving with desire.

Growing impatient, Lydia wraps her arms around his neck and bottoms out on his cock, his cock hitting her cervix with one hard thrust. Grasping her ass tightly he angles her body just right so that with every thrust he hits her g- spot. Her throaty moans encouraged him to pick up his speed. Feeling her pussy walls start to clench around his cock, Lydia's nail leaving scratch marks on his back, Aiden increases his speed to a even faster pace until she cries out "Oh God, Aiden you fuck me so good." and squirts against his cock as her pussy starts pulsing out her orgasm. He continues pumping in and out of her pussy until he could no longer hold in his release and came with a hoarse cry of ecstasy. On jelly legs, Lydia leads them to bed and they collapse in a tangled heaps on top the bed. The smell of sex lingered in the air as they tried to catch their breaths from their workout moments ago. Once the feeling returned to Lydia's legs she headed towards the shower, dragging him behind her by the hand.
