A CHANGE OF HEART
Summary: Cornelius Rhodes likes control. But when it comes to his son and his new girlfriend, nothing he does can break the young couple. And when things start getting serious he has to choose whether to keep messing with their lives or to finally accept his son's choice.
A/N: My first Rheese story. I 've only recently started to watch Chicago Med and I have to say I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. Having said that, I just die for all the Connor/Sarah scenes, and this little story wouldn't leave me alone for the past few days. So here I am, adding to all the other great Rheese stories in this site.
I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.
P.S.: Sorry in advance for any mistake, English is not my native language.

Chapter 2: A life together
…

Just as she promised herself, Sarah didn't make any comment about her encounter with Cornelius either to Connor or anybody else. She simply continued with her life, enjoying her work and her newfound friends in the ED, sometimes hanging out with them at Molly's after their shift, going out with Claire, Natalie, Maggie and April on a girl's day out or simply enjoying her relationship with Connor.
Now that they had passed their first anniversary, Connor had surprised her by asking her to move in with him. Of course, being Connor, he had said it more than ask her, but in the end she happily accepted. After all, she already spent most nights in his bed, and many of her clothes, books and other personal items were already there mixed with his.
Still, it came as a shock when Connor asked to live in a new place with him, a place that wouldn't be his, but theirs. When he told her that, she could only laugh with joy and kiss him until both forgot all about their conversation. Needless to say, that night they didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, but were still feeling energetic when they got to the hospital.
Once there, they told their friends the news and they were all happy for the young couple and didn't hesitate to offer to help them move once they found their new apartment. So less than two months later, they were offering an apartment warming party for all their friends from Med. Sarah was so happy, she couldn't stop smiling all night, thinking that her life couldn't be any more perfect.
Of course, she would rethink that thought an hour later, when Connor stopped the music to thank everybody for their friendship and their support since the beginning of their relationship and their help during all the time they had been at Med.
She thought that would be all, but then Connor turned towards her, holding her hands and kissing her knuckles, just as he had done on their first date more than a year ago.
"As you all know, Sarah and I have been together for quite some time and it has been the best time of my life." - He began, looking at their friends, especially at Will, who simply gave him a thumbs up and continued recording unbeknownst to the others. – "During this time, we have had our ups and downs and while I have to admit that many of the downs have been my fault, this magnificent woman has always been by my side, helping me move forward and just as she has been and continues being my rock, I hope I can always be the same for her. Not only now, but for the rest of our lives." - He let go of one of her hands and before she could say anything, he was kneeling in front of her, taking a little box out of his jeans pocket.
"I love you, Sarah Reese. I love you and I always will. Will you make me the happies men and agree to marry me?" - He asked, presenting her the beautiful ring he had chosen for her. She, however, didn't even pay attention to it, too busy kneeling too and kissing Connor enthusiastically, shedding happy tears and with their friends laughing and clapping at the couple's clear happiness.
The rest of the party was a mix of hugs and kisses and well wishes from their guests. The women quickly started planning to meet regularly to help Sarah with the wedding, especially Claire, who kept gushing about how beautiful she would make sure her wedding dress was. Meanwhile, the men were teasing Connor about his bachelor party and all the sort of crazy stuff Ethan and Will would make him do before they let him take Sarah to the altar. She was like a little sister to both men, after all. Of course, that led to an argument between both doctors over who would get to give her away, an argument Sarah put an end to by asking Doctor Charles to do it, since she saw him as a father figure and was thankful for all the encouragement he had given her from day one. The man, deeply touched, had gladly accepted, hugging her tenderly and now teasing Ethan and Will over his triumph over them. They could only laugh at the psychiatrist's antics.
Once everyone left, Connor moved to kiss his now fiancé, but was surprised when she moved away from his arms, looking at him worriedly.
"What's wrong, Sarah?" - He asked her softly, not wanting to scare her.
"I…" - she began, breathing deeply before trying again. – "I… Connor, I…"
"Sarah, did I do something?" - He walked towards her and enveloped him in his arms, running his hands up and down her back in a soothing gesture. Feeling her hug him calmed him down a little, but he could still feel her tense. – "Is it the engagement? Are you… are you having second thoughts?" - He forced himself to say it. He really wanted to marry her, but if she wasn't sure, he would wait for her. He would always wait for her.
"No!" – she hurried to say, looking him in the eye and taking a deep breath. – "I need to tell you something." - She whispered.
"Babe?" - He was confused. She had been never shy to tell him anything, knowing that he would never be angry at her, no matter the situation. He was just about to open his mouth again when she took hold of one of his hands and placed it on her abdomen, looking at him intently. He understood then. – "Sarah… are you…?"
"I'm pregnant." - She confessed, anxious to know if he would be happy or angry at her news. But he didn't say anything, making her worry. – "Connor? Say something, please." – He remained silent, only able to look at her. She could feel her eyes fill with tears and she tried to step back, but her fiancé stopped her, kneeling once again and hugging her waist, burying his face in her abdomen, whispering so quietly, she couldn't understand him. – "Connor?" – She called him again, running her hands through his dark locks.
"Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you." - he kept repeating, kissing her abdomen and hugging her even tighter. When he looked at her, she could see he was crying and smiling, clearly happy at her news, making her cry happy tears once more.
After what felt like minutes or hours later, she helped him stand and he kissed her passionately, cradling her face between his hands while pushing her towards their bedroom.
Once there, he picked her up and sat on the bed with her straddling him, kissing her still. He moved his lips to her cheek, down her delicate neck until he got to her shoulder while pushing down the straps of her dress, revealing her breasts before taking a pink nipple into his mouth and caressing the other, making her moan softly. She hugged him closer to her and started to move on top of him, getting more excited when she heard him groan. She moved her hands to his shirt and undid the buttons hurriedly, needing to feel his skin against hers. He released her nipple and helped her take off his shirt, flinging it across the room and moving them so now Sarah was laying down on the bed with him on top of her, kissing once more.
Minutes later, he rose to his knees, earning a growl of displeasure from his fiancé.
"Shhh, patience, Sarah." - He teased her, moving his hands down her torso, lowering the dress and revealing more of her tantalizing body to him.
"Hurry, my love." – she moaned, raising her hands to her breasts and touching them, knowing that seeing her touching herself never failed to turn him on. He finished undressing them and once he got rid of her panties, he covered her soft body with his own strong one.
Sarah wrapped her legs around his waist, rubbing herself against his manhood, moaning into his ear, driving him crazy. They kissed again, moving against each other for several minutes, her hands caressing his hair and back and his running down her sides and her legs, still rubbing his cock against her.
"Take me, Connor." - She pleaded, moving her hand down to his cock and pressing the head against her entrance.
"Wait." – he mumbled against her lips, moving towards the bedside table and riffling through the drawer.
"What on earth are you doing, Connor?" - She asked him, knowing exactly was he was doing and trying not to laugh at him.
"I need a condom." - He said, still looking for one. Sarah could no longer help her laughter.
"Whatever for?" – she said, giggling still. – "It's not as if you could get me more pregnant, love."
Connor felt like dying right there. He had been so turned on, he had for one moment forgotten Sarah's news in his haste to take her.
"Come here, my love." - Sarah said, kissing him and making him forget his embarrassment in lieu of positioning himself between her legs once more, helping her to wrap her legs around him again, entering her slowly until he was all the way inside his future wife.
Both moaned at the sensation.
For Connor, it always felt like the first time every time he made love to Sarah. She always felt so wet and warm and tight that it drove him crazy without fail. And for Sarah, every time he entered her, it felt like being filled completely, always needing a few moments to get used to his girth, but then letting go and enjoying immensely the sensations he brought up in her. But this time it was different, not less passionate, but more tender, both of them moving slowly, kissing still, and hugging the other close.
Soon thought, they needed more, moving desperately against the other and towards their climax. Connor rose to his knees, holding Sarah's hips and thrusting harder and faster into her, delighting in her cries of pleasure. She arched her back pushing herself against him frantically, closer and closer to coming, moving one of her hands between her legs, rubbing her clit a couple of times before reaching her peak, tightening her walls around him and bringing him with her over the edge.
Both fell on the bed, Connor on top of her while she ran the tips of her fingers over his shoulders, both trying to calm their heartbeats.
"Are you okay?" - He asked her, trying to move off her, suddenly worried byt the thought of maybe having hurt their child during their lovemaking.
"We're perfect." - She whispered, smiling at him and pulling him down for a kiss, savoring feeling his body on top of hers for a little longer.
Minutes later, they separated and got under the covers, Sarah's back to his chest. She fell asleep quickly, exhausted from their lovemaking, while he spent some time simply caressing her flat stomach, promising himself to do everything in his power to protect and love the woman in his arms and all the children her body gave him.
Some time later he too fell asleep with a smile on his face, both dreaming of their future and the family they were already creating.
A/N: Is it just me or there are no stories with some Rheese sexy times? I needed to rectify that ;)
