"The Neighbors: A new Emaya Story"
I will admit this story got away from me a long time ago but I pushed through it and I'm about to leave it in a good place I think. I don't want to end it just yet as I think Emily and Maya deserve some family time with Grace and some alone time ;)

I rise from the bed releasing Emily's hand as he walks towards us. Tears trickle down my face as Ryan and Josh step back so Mr. Fields can gently lay her in my arms. I kiss her sweet face inhaling her baby scent, she's back safe and sound in my arms and I hold her close nuzzling her with my cheek. Ryan and Josh gently cup the top of her head giving her kisses and then I turn to Emily who's all choked up waiting patiently for her turn. I kneel with one leg on the bed handing her to her. She holds her close snuggling against her, kissing her tiny little nose.
She looks at me and we kiss. I lie down next to her caressing our baby's arm and kissing my beautiful, beautiful Emily….
Finally we can be a family…
Chapter 48: Family Time
Six months later…
Maya POV
Christmas in California! I expected to be spending the rest of my Christmases in New York but it's nice to be home again remembering how it used to be. There won't be any snow or brisk winter air this year but maybe a walk on the beach, a walk on the beach at Christmas time…hmm. A flood of memories surround me and I hope to share that walk with my family…
Emily and I decorated and did all the Christmas shopping over the course of the past month and a half. The plan is to spend Christmas day together with Grace, and then Josh arrives tomorrow, and our parents the day after. Everyone is going to shower her with gifts which is sweet and wonderful but this is her first and we just want this Christmas to be ours—mine, Emily's and Grace's…
It's about seven in the morning on Christmas day when we wake. Grace will hopefully sleep for another hour so Emily and I stay in bed…
"Good morning beautiful," I push her hair from her face so I can see how beautiful she truly is.
"Good morning sexy," she smiles.
"Oh, I get sexy even when I wake up first thing?" I tease.
"You're always sexy to me Maya," she sneaks closer for a kiss.
"Mmm, that was nice," I snuggle into her.
She kisses the top of my head and plays with my hair, "I'm kind of excited for today."
"Yeah me too, even though it's not like she's going to remember anything. You and I will be doing all the tearing of the wrapping paper," I chuckle.
"Hey, I'm kind of all right with that. I love opening presents!"
We laugh feeling our bodies bounce against each other's.
"Maybe we should get up and have breakfast before she wakes and wants to be fed," she says.
"And thank god the breastfeeding's over! Sometimes I felt like my boobs were going to explode!"
We laugh some more.
"Well, I for one kind of miss those boobs."
"Emily!" I give her a light smack looking up at her.
"Save those for later," she cocks an eyebrow.
"Someone's in a frisky mood."
"I think I'm always in a frisky mood with you."
"I think you and I have had sex more than Josh and I did during our whole marriage!"
She rolls me on my back and gets on top of me.
"That's because you are like a walking pheromone. I can't resist and I don't want to," she kisses up my neck.
"Is this going to be our first Christmas canoodling?"
"Canoodling? If that's what you're calling it these days then yes," she breathes against my ear.
"I thought we were going to eat breakfast," I remind her.
"I am," she muffles against my skin.
"You are so bad," her hand cruises over me stopping at all those places I want her to, while her lips follow kissing me lower and lower and lower…
We both enjoy a breakfast appetizer and jump in the shower before the crying begins. It's a lounge around kind of day so we put on our pajama bottoms and tank tops. We slip into our robe and slippers then peek in on our baby. She's still sleeping soundly so we quietly walk downstairs to eat some real food, but, before we make it to the kitchen; we stop to admire our first Christmas tree surrounded by presents…
"It's beautiful, don't cha think?" I ask.
"It's perfect. We did a great job with the tree and you know how to wrap a present. It all looks spectacular!"
We admire our handy work for a little while longer and then eat a good hearty breakfast because who knows when we'll be able to eat again uninterrupted. As we're finishing up with the dishes we hear that cry, the cry that says, 'Do you know I'm up here?' Yes, yes we do…
"Let's bring her down together," I say.
"That would be nice."
Emily picks her up and coos her gently, patting her back to calm her. She's pretty cooperative and the cries stop almost immediately. I give her a kiss on her sweet little head and then Emily brings her to the changing station. She did quite the number or should I say numbers in that diaper! We powder her bottom and put a fresh diaper on, redress her, wrap her in a blanket and carry her down to our first Christmas as a family…
"Look Grace, look at the star on top of the tree," Emily tries to get her to look up.
We're both pointing and she's smiling, she's so happy!
"Merry Christmas Grace," I kiss her again inhaling that addicting baby scent.
"Merry Christmas Grace," Emily kisses over and over quick little kisses on her cheek.
"Merry Christmas Emily."
"Merry Christmas Maya."
We kiss a nice lingering kiss.
"Here, Maya, why don't you hold her for a bit while I get her bottle."
"I would be thrilled to hold my other beautiful baby," she says in that talking to a baby, baby voice we all have.
Emily POV
When I get back to the living room, Maya is sitting on the couch doing what mom's do to keep their baby smiling—opening her eyes wide, touching her nose with her index finger, smiling big showing off her pearly whites while Grace gets all gurgly and keeps laughing. They're so adorable! I run upstairs and grab our cell phones off the nightstands so we can take lots and lots of pictures!
I take a few of them being mother and daughter and then give Maya the bottle to feed her. She's devouring it! She definitely has an appetite, that's for sure! And I take more pictures of my amazing 'one day will be my' wife and our daughter…
"Sooo, let's open presents now. Please Maya," I say all cutesy.
"You sound like a kid! You're adorable. Yes, let's get to it already."
I can't resist opening Grace's presents and showing off her cute little outfits for her to see and her new toys and blankets, not that she has any clue what's happening but that smile on her face says it all…
"Was that the last of Grace's presents?" Maya asks.
"I think so. The ones left are from me to you and from you to me."
"Let's open those when she's down for her nap," she winks.
"Something tells me what's in those boxes has an "M" rating."
"Maybe," she cocks a sexy eyebrow.
But the burping interrupts that thought so I take Grace giving Maya a bit of a break. And once we've played every baby game and sang every baby song she starts to nod off in my arms. I give Maya the 'shh' sign and bring Grace up to her room. I lay her in her crib and Maya and I just watch her sleep for a little while. She's such a precious little thing; she's our precious little thing…
Once again we quietly descend the staircase with a little hop in our step filled with excitement to open our presents to each other...
First we light a fire in the fireplace to make it a little more romantic. It's in the low sixties so a fire won't make things too warm for us. It actually takes the chill out of the room. Then we watch each other open gifts which are pretty tame so far so I know the 'naughty' ones must be at the back of the tree still unopened. But before I get to those I hand Maya a present, one that I've been working really hard on since all of that awfulness we went through. It's over. That's all that matters, it's over. And now I can't wait to see the look on her face when she opens it!
"What's this?" she asks surprised by its weight.
"Just open it."
She's being so delicate about the paper as if we're going to reuse it or something.
"Maya, seriously, rip it open!" I laugh because I think I'm more anxious than she is!
"Okay, okay," she says widening her eyes at me and then really starts tearing at it to open it.
She lifts the cover from the box placing in on the floor next to her feet and then she shuffles the tissue paper over the sides. Her hands cover her mouth and you can see the gleefulness she's feeling. It makes my heart beat wildly seeing her so happy!
"Oh, Emily," she takes it out of the box, "it's your novel, 'The Neighbors: A Different Kind of Love Story'. You finished it!" She flips through the pages touching them carefully with her fingertips.
"It's the first copy. I wanted you to have it."
"Oh baby, I love it!" She flips back to the front and spots the dedication and as she reads it her eyes flood with tears. "Emily, I—I can't. You read it."
I get up and sit next to her on the couch. She hands me the book and hugs me affectionately and kisses my cheek over and over just like I kissed Grace. I hold her in my arms kissing her gently on the lips.
My eyes widen just as hers did, "Are you ready?"
She nods in my arms that surround her with the book open in my hands.
I read,
"To my dearest Maya,
I never knew what love was until I met you. It was quite the journey that we took to accept our love and make the decisions we had to make no matter the hurt they may have caused. But, the heart wants what the heart wants and mine yearned for yours. Once I accepted what I could no longer deny, you, Maya, became my every thought, every feeling, every desire. You, the mother of our beautiful daughter Grace, were my destiny all along.
I love you Maya.
Your 'other' baby,
Emily."
I can feel her weep in my arms which makes me all misty as well. I place the book on the couch next to us and bring her shoulders up to look at me.
"You are my life now Maya, you and Grace. I love you."
She chokes back her tears, "Emily, baby, I love you so much."
We kiss a salty teared kiss.
"I can't wait to read it. And I'm going to cherish this first copy for as long as I live."
We kiss more salty kisses, relaxing against each other's lips, the tears fade and the sweetness returns. We lean our foreheads together as her hand strokes the back of my neck and we take this moment to absorb where we are right now, a family…
"Mmm, baby," she looks up at me, "let's open the rest of those presents later."
"Yeah, let's do that."
We smile into another kiss. But stop ourselves so we can lay some blankets down by the fireplace. We gather some pillows and take a slow deep breath.
"I love you Maya. I don't even know if you can even imagine how much."
"I can imagine."
She lets her robe fall to the floor and helps mine to do the same. I pull up her top and smother her breasts with my mouth. And then she helps me with mine and she suckles my nipples one at a time. Our bodies close the space between us rubbing up against our breasts while our mouths enjoy this romantic moment. We slip each other out of our pajama pants leaving ourselves vulnerable to any cool spots in the room. We stumble a bit towards the blankets giggling as we hold our balance. We kneel and I'm the first on my back. She settles on top of me between my legs gently grinding her pussy against mine…
"I'm excited to read that book baby but right now I'll save my excitement for you."
Our lips battle for control but of course she wins as she normally does, sending a bolt of exhilaration through my body. Those full luscious lips move gracefully down my neck stopping to admire my nipples with her tongue and her teeth, licking and pulling, sending erotic sensations straight to my wanting place of desire. She plays with them looking up at me while I watch joyfully while she ravages me. My head tosses back no longer able to hold her gaze as I feel myself getting wetter and wetter not wanting to give in to an orgasm just yet…
Her hands mold my breasts and softly pinch my nipples while her lips and her tongue move delicately down my body. She moves down so her head is above where I want her so badly. And she makes me suffer for it, teasing me with kisses down my inner thighs until she has had enough of my whimpering. Her lips kiss mine, opening wide against my thin silky darkened lips. Her tongue flitters and flutters into me making me shake and buck against her mouth. She looks up with determination in her eyes and wickedness in her smile. She sucks on my clit moving her tongue fast like a hummingbird's wings. My knees bend more, my back arches, and my mouth cries, letting my orgasm—orgasms release one right after the other!
"Maya! Oh my god!"
But she doesn't stop. She keeps licking and loving me into another burst of orgasms making me moan and cry sounds of a satisfied lover!
And as she licks away at my secret garden, she kisses me so lovingly there, in a gesture of thankfulness.
"I guess you really do like your present."
She laughs.
"So, so much!"
She kisses up to my mouth, devouring my lips with hers. I can taste my sweet and salty mixed together and I'm anxious to taste hers.
"That was amazing."
"You're amazing, my beautiful, beautiful baby."
"I think this is the happiest I've been since everything."
She relaxes, draping her body over mine, "I know the feeling. It's freeing."
"It is. Even though Grace is napping upstairs I don't feel like we have to rush or that something bad is going to happen to keep us apart."
"I'm so with you. This is our time and I don't want to waste a single second of it."
This time I smile wickedly, "Then let's not."
She receives my message loud and clear. We switch positions and this time I taste and I savor her love.
Her still expanded nipples from breastfeeding practically push me over the edge with excitement. I suck them like an adult is meant to, heeding her cries of pleasure, taking my time to send her wanting place a message like she did for me…
I work my way down showering her with kisses and tiny bites until I reach her wonderful wetness. I don't tease. I get right to it licking her delicious juices. I settle my mouth over her tanned lips sucking her and poking with my tongue. I check my progress, needing her to open for me. I want her pinkness and she gives it to me!
I watch her as I poke and suck and lick making her arch and thrust into me. My mouth expands as wide as I can make it so I can ravage her pussy into a continuous flow of love and lust! She cries out sounds of elation and curses of devotion! Her body quakes and her moans vibrate with orgasm after orgasm, rendering her into exhaustion…
As she settles her body, I kiss up to her mouth and let her taste as she did for me. We lie there breathing heavily and giggling about getting away with our expressions of love and not waking the baby!
"I love you Maya. And I want it to always be this way."
"Wet and wonderful?" She cocks an eyebrow.
"That too, and always exciting and desirous no matter how many times we love each other."
"Hmm, desirous. I like it," she grabs the back of my neck bringing my lips to hers.
We kiss longingly until we need a moment to breathe.
"Think we can take a little nap now?" I'm hoping.
"Yeah, yeah I think we should."
"I'll need one so I can enjoy the presents we still have to open."
"We'll do those tonight and maybe go for a round three," this time her eyebrow really skyrockets.
"Round three. I think that's a no-brainer."
We giggle and kiss and eventually fall asleep under the blankets next to the fireplace. Our breathing in rhythm with each other's keeps us relaxed knowing there's no one out there who can ever hurt us or baby Grace again…
