My dick got hard just from thinking of how she stood in their living room that evening, one hand on her barely protruding stomach and the other clenching mine, telling them that what they think doesn't matter in comparison to how she feels.

"I'll deal like I always do," I told my younger sibling.

No one interferes with my family. Steph and I are in total agreement on that.
