Chapter 33: Romance Is Definitely Not Gone
Santana's POV
*Friday 28th October 2022*
I woke up in a horrible mood this morning and it's just made the whole day suck. I should be happy because I have a good life at the moment. I mean I have my family and I'm not even back to work yet so there is no work stress in my life right now. I just can't help but feel a little pissed at the fact the universe seems to hate me right now. Every time I try to get Britt to myself something happens. Jaxon either needs something or one of us falls asleep early at night. We have so much to do in the day though so I don't blame Brittany if she falls asleep at night. It's really starting to frustrate me though because it's been 2 weeks since my appointment with my doctor and I still haven't had sex with my wife.
"Hey what are you up to?" Brittany asks as she enters the kitchen.
"I'm washing dishes" I reply sarcastically as I continue to breastfeed Jaxon.
"Excuse me?" Brittany says glaring at me.
"I'm sorry" I sigh. I don't mean to get childish but I am just in the worst mood ever.
"I can see what you're doing but I meant, like what have we got planned for the day?" she asks.
"Just the usual stuff I guess" I shrug. "Feeding Jaxon, changing him, entertaining him, putting him down for a nap, going for a shower, going grocery shopping and doing household chores" I elaborate.
"Once you're done feeding him then I'll take him and you can have your shower. I've just finished in the bathroom so I'm free now" Brittany replies.
"Ok" I nod.
Once Jaxon is fed and burped, Brittany takes him from me and I head upstairs. I go into my room and into the master bathroom to shower. I do what I need to do before stepping out and getting dried off. I then brush my teeth and change into some clothes. I've just finished blow drying my hair when Brittany enters the bedroom, carrying Jaxon in her arms. She places him down in his crib and then lies down on the bed. I don't really say anything, I just go about my business.
"Are you ok babe?" Brittany asks as she looks over at me.
"I'm fine" I shrug.
"Don't take this the wrong way but I don't think you are fine. You've been in a strange mood all morning. It seems like you might be pissed at something or someone" she replies.
"I am in a bad mood actually" I sigh.
"Why don't you join me on the bed and we'll talk about it?" she suggests while patting the empty space on the bed next to her.
"I don't really want to talk about it right now" I admit.
"Why not?" she wonders.
"Because Jaxon is awake in the room so I don't want to start getting annoyed" I say. "Plus, it's also kinda embarrassing" I add.
"You say you don't want to get annoyed so does that mean it's my fault?" Brittany asks sadly. "Have I done something to upset you?"
"Oh no I didn't mean it like that" I assure her. "I just meant if I start talking about it then I'll get all worked up" I explain.
"It might help you feel better if we talked it over" she reasons. I guess it might because who knows, maybe Brittany feels the same way I do and misses us being close just as much.
"Ok" I nod while climbing onto the bed. Jaxon seems settled enough laying down right now so I guess Brittany and I do have 5 minutes to talk one on one.
"What's going on?" Brittany asks as she puts her arm around me.
"To be blunt about it, I miss having sex with you" I state. "We always had a healthy sex life I thought and then when I got pregnant things changed a little which was fine. Now that I'm back to me again then I thought we could regain that passion again but apparently not" I say.
"Is this because every time we try to be intimate something happens?" Brittany asks.
"Yes, exactly that" I nod. "Every time we get a moment alone something happens. If we're not tending to Jaxon then the only other time we're alone is in bed and usually someone falls asleep before we can have sex" I add.
"If I'm being honest, I hate it as much as you do" Brittany agrees.
"I'm also kinda mad though because it's like I'm blaming Jaxon but I'm totally not. It comes across like I am but I would never blame him for my lack of time with you" I state.
"Honey you are a great mother so don't feel bad for wanting a moment with your wife" Brittany tells me as she pulls me in close to her.
"It's not even about having time with you but it's about having sex. I mean right now we're having 10 minutes to talk which is great but I don't miss talking" I say.
"I understand" Brittany smiles. "We do see one another a lot since we're both at home with the baby but I guess we're going to have to change our schedule a little so we can have moments like now but when Jaxon is asleep. Like you say it's nice having time to talk together just now but Jaxon is awake so it's not like I can take you here and now" she says.
"Yeah, that's what I mean" I state.
"Perhaps when Jaxon has a nap then instead of catching up on chores or whatever like we usually do, let's have time together. I mean it's not like the world will fall apart if our laundry isn't done" Brittany suggests.
"Ok" I smile.
"As soon as Jaxon has his nap this afternoon, you and I will have sex. If it has to be a quickie on the couch then that's better than nothing" she tells me.
"Ok" I smile again. "Let's not totally schedule all of our intimate moments though because then all the romance and fun and spontaneity goes" I say.
"Yeah we won't make up a diary and time it down to the minute but for instance today, we should definitely start by agreeing to do it when Jaxon naps" she states.
"Yeah" I nod.
After talking for a while more, Brittany and I decided it was time to spend some time with Jaxon. Brittany picked him up from his crib and we all headed downstairs. We played with our son for a while before I went and made us some lunch. We ate together before Brittany got Jaxon ready for his nap and I tidied up a few things. I'm just sitting down on one of the armchairs scrolling through social media on my phone, waiting on Brittany.
"Jaxon is finally napping now" Brittany tells me as she walks into the living room.
"Cool" I smile.
"That really took the energy out of me though because he just didn't want to nap" Brittany says as she flops to the couch and puts her feet up. "I rocked him but that didn't work so I tried reading to him but that still didn't work so I sang to him and eventually that worked. I guess he had enough of my voice by that point" she laughs.
"At least he is napping now" I say as I put my phone down and join her on the couch, putting my arms around her. This might finally be our chance for some alone time and really get the romance back on track.
"Yeah" Brittany says through a yawn.
"We'll wait 5 minutes until we make sure he's asleep, ok?" I say but I don't get any answer. I look at Brittany and notice her eyes are closed. "Britt, are you sleeping?" I whisper while gently shaking her. "Britt?" I say again.
"Huh?" she replies as she opens her eyes.
"Are you tired babe or do you want to have some fun?" I ask with a smirk.
"I want some fun" she smirks back at me.
"Excellent choice" I say with another smirk as I move positions to straddle my wife.
"I've missed this" Brittany smiles at me as she rests her hands on my hips.
"Me too" I say as I slowly grind down on her as I lean in to kiss her. She kisses me back while gently squeezing my hips. "We should just cut straight to the chase and get undressed because I don't know how long we're going to have" I say while climbing off of her and standing up to get undressed.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"I'm done so are you going to catch up babe" I say as I throw my last sock across the room.
"Yeah" Brittany mumbles.
"Come on then" I laugh as she makes no attempt to move.
"Ok" she replies and before I even get a chance to talk again, her eyes close.
"Britt?" I say.
"Huh?" Brittany says as her eyes shoot open.
"Are you going to get undressed?" I ask.
"In a second" she replies tiredly.
"Maybe we shouldn't bother having sex right now" I state.
"No, we will" Brittany says quickly as her eyes shoot open again.
"You're clearly too tired to do anything right now so let's just leave it" I shrug.
"No, I promised you Santana that we would do it now so we will" she tells me. "I'll shuffle out of my pants and you just climb on top" she says as she grips the waistband of her sweats.
"Honey, you're almost asleep. Let's just forget about it right now" I say while stopping her from undressing.
"But you're all undressed now" Brittany points out.
"I know but I'll get dressed again" I say. "Honestly, let's rain check babe" I smile.
"No because I promised you" she tells me tiredly.
"Its ok babe" I smile again. As much as I really want this right now, Brittany is way too tired so it wouldn't be nice of me to make her do this when she needs to sleep. She was patient with me during the pregnancy and thereafter when I didn't want to have sex so I can be patient with her right now when she's clearly too exhausted.
"I feel bad" Brittany says as she closes her eyes.
"Don't, now get some rest" I say as I squeeze onto the couch next to her and wrap my arms around her. She drifts off to sleep almost immediately but it takes me a little longer.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Saturday 29th October 2022*
"Honey, wake up" Brittany states while shaking me causing the whole bed to shake.
"Does he need fed again, I swear I just did it" I sigh while sitting up in bed and taking my pyjama shirt off, getting prepared to breastfeed.
"No, it's not Jaxon but please do keep the shirt off" she replies.
"So why are you wakening me up?" I ask. I look at the clock and see it's 2am. I am right, I did just feed Jaxon half an hour ago.
"Come with me" Brittany says while taking my hand and pulling me out of bed.
"Where are we going Britt because I'm tired" I say while rubbing my eye with my free hand.
"Trust me, you won't be tired in a second" Brittany replies.
"I think that I might be" I state. It's the middle of the night so nothing can probably keep me awake right now. The only thing that could keep me awake is Jaxon and I know he's fast asleep so I guarantee I will be tired.
"Babe just come with me please" she says as she drags me out of the bedroom and into one of our guest bedrooms.
"Fine" I huff.
"Ok, what do you think?" Brittany asks as she switches the bedroom light on.
"Oh my god, babe" I say in surprise as I walk into the room. There are rose petals across the bed and candles lit around the room. It's really giving off a very romantic vibe.
"You like it?" she smiles.
"Yeah" I smile back. "Are we going to…"
"Oh yeah" Brittany says, not letting me finish my sentence.
"Cool" I say excitedly.
"We're going to do this properly and start off nice and slow since we have all the time in the world since Jaxon is asleep" Brittany says as she closes the door behind us and puts the baby monitor down at the side.
"Sounds good" I smile.
"Saying that, you are naked from the waist up so I'm not sure how slowly I can take things without wanting to just take you right then" she says as takes both of my hands and leads me over to the bed.
"Yeah" I laugh. She told me to keep my shirt off when I thought I was to feed Jaxon so I did but I guess it's teasing her a little bit now with me shirtless.
"Anyway, let's get comfortable" she says as she pulls the covers back and we slip under and into the bed.
"Man, I forgot how comfortable this bed was" I say as I get cosy.
"Ok but don't get too comfortable that you could fall asleep. We've had enough of that recently so let's not have that happen tonight to ruin my plans of finally being with you after months without sex" Brittany states.
"Don't worry, I have waited long enough too so there is no chance I'm about to miss this opportunity" I smirk as I wrap my arms around my wife and kiss her.
"Mm…even your lips taste so amazing right now" Brittany moans.
"I know what you mean" I smile. It's been that long that even just the touch of our lips excites us right now. It's also partly due to the anticipation of what's to come that's getting us very quickly turned on.
"I am going to make you cum like never before" Brittany tells me as she sits up a bit and then throws her leg over my waist to straddle me.
"Sounds good to me" I smirk, as I look up at my wife in front of me.
Brittany leans down and kisses my lips. I kiss her back and after a few moments, she detaches our lips and begins kissing down my chin onto my neck. She continues for a few minutes before moving down and kissing along my collarbone. She stops though when I start tugging on her pyjama shirt, clearly getting the message I don't like it. I mean who likes any kind of barrier between them and someone when they're about to have sex.
"I should probably get rid of this, huh?" she says as she takes the shirt off and throws it to the floor behind her. "God you're sexy" she says as she looks me up and down lustfully.
"So are you" I say as I can't take my eyes off of my half naked wife as she straddles me.
"It's been a while though so we probably should just cut to the chase" she says as she steps off the bed and shimmies out of her boxers.
"I agree" I say with a smirk as I immediately notice little Britt standing to attention.
"We should probably wrap it up a little" Brittany says as she notices where my line of vision is. She then goes into the nightstand and takes a condom out. "It's not going to hurt to be extra careful to prevent any accidents" she adds.
"Yeah" I smile. As much as I love the feeling of Brittany inside me without a condom, we are not ready for another baby so the more protection the better.
"Are you ready for a good night?" she asks as she slips the condom on and gets onto the bed.
"Why don't you come and find out" I smirk.
She grips my legs under the knees and pulls me closer to her. She then grips the waistband on the boxers I'm wearing and pulls them down my legs and throws them to the floor with the other discarded clothes. She stares at me for a second, licking her lips, clearing noticing just how wet I am for her already. She then runs her hands over my thighs as she reaches forward and kisses me on the lips. She works down to my neck again where she sucks on my pulse point.
"I need you inside me" I say as my hands get tangled up in her hair.
"Ok baby" Brittany replies as she gently kisses down my body, caressing and squeezing my breasts as she moves downwards.
"Please, inside me" I moan as I try to pull her body closer to me.
"Ok" she smiles. She leans down to kiss my lips before getting into position between my legs.
"Uh…have you always been this big?" I moan as Brittany pushes into me.
"Yeah, I guess" Brittany laughs nervously.
"Fuck…" I moan as she begins thrusting in and out of me.
"I've missed this" she moans as our fingers intertwine with one another.
"Harder babe" I say and she quickens up the pace right away as she steals another kiss from me.
It took all of the power we had in ourselves to not come too soon. We wanted this to last as long as it could because it felt so good but at the same time, it's been so long that we just needed a release. When we finally came together, boy was it amazing. I stayed hugging Brittany close until we got our breaths back and then she slipped out of me. She lay down next to me and kissed me cheek. I'm pretty sure rounds 2 and 3 could be on the cards but right now, it's just nice to finally get to have sex again and enjoy that post sex feeling.
"It might sound cheesy but that was amazing" Brittany smiles at me.
"Yeah it really was" I smile back while wrapping my arms around her. She holds me tightly and kisses the top of my head.
"We can't stay in here all night because I don't want to be too far from Jaxon but we can stay a little longer" she tells me.
"Sounds good" I say.
"As much as you're so good in bed, it's also moments like these that I enjoy where I can just lay with you in my arms" Brittany points out.
"Yeah, it's really soothing just getting to lie like this with one another" I state.
"Honestly though, that was amazing tonight" she replies.
"It was" I agree. "It actually felt a lot better than I thought it would" I add.
"What made you think the sex would be bad?" Brittany asks curiously.
"I didn't necessarily mean it would be bad because you and I have always had amazing times in bed. I just thought things would be a little different after the pregnancy" I say.
"Because it had been some time so it was almost like a first time again?" she asks.
"No, I mean physically things would be different so not as such the pregnancy but the giving birth part. I thought it would change my body so sex wouldn't feel the same anymore" I reply.
"Oh, ok" Brittany nods, understanding where I'm coming from.
"I thought giving birth would mean things are stretched down there so I was half expecting things to feel different but it was the opposite" I reply.
"Oh, is that why you asked if I had gotten bigger?" she asks with a smirk.
"Yeah, I mean no offence but I was half expecting you to slip out of me or something the first time because I assumed the birth would have stretched me somewhat" I admit. "Honestly, I was actually quite worried sex would never be the same again if you didn't fit in so nicely" I add.
"From what I could tell, everything seemed normal to me…if not better actually" Brittany says as she leans down to kiss me.
"Yeah it really was nice tonight and I'm not just saying that because we were both desperate to have sex, it genuinely felt as good as ever" I smile. We lay in each other's arms for a little while more.
"As much as this has been great, we should probably head back to our bedroom now" Brittany says as she slides her arm from under me. "I don't want to leave Jaxon on his own any longer" she adds as she gets out of bed and puts her pyjamas back on.
"Yeah, we should check on him and get back to our own bed" I agree.
Once we're both dressed again, we head back to our bedroom. Jaxon is still peacefully sleeping so Brittany and I quietly get into bed. Neither of us are tired right now since we've been awake for a little bit now so we just whisper quietly to one another. Also, I'm not really in a rush to go back to sleep anyway because I am sure it won't be too long before Jaxon wakes up again.

"Morning" I smile at my wife as I enter the kitchen where Brittany is with Jaxon.
"Hey you" Brittany smiles back.
"Hi Jaxon" I say as I walk over to them and kiss my son's head.
"Hi mommy" Brittany says while waving Jaxon's little arm in the air.
"Last night…or should I say this morning, was really amazing" I tell Brittany as I gently stroke her back.
"Even though I'm a little tired now, my mood couldn't be bad because it was amazing. I don't know why we didn't think about that before" she replies.
"I know because all we had to do was wake up in the middle of the night and sneak off to the guest room instead of me getting pissed every time it didn't happen in the day time" I state.
"Yeah" Brittany smiles. "I mean Jaxon naps in the afternoons as well so we can nap then and keep 3am open for a little bedroom action" she smirks at me.
"Yeah" I smile. I would rather be tired and fall asleep in the afternoon than to continue with how things were and never get Brittany alone. It might seem odd for us to want to be awake at 3am instead of sleeping but this might work for us.
"Anyway, I think this little one is hungry and we're almost out of expressed milk so could you feed him just now" Brittany asks as she carefully places Jaxon in my arms.
"Yes of course" I smile. I sit down and begin feeding my son.
Once Jaxon is fed, Brittany and I sit down at the table and have breakfast together. We both then took turns taking a shower while the other took care of Jaxon. We spent the rest of the morning spending time together, playing with Jaxon. Brittany and I are now just lounging on the couch in front of the TV while Jaxon is taking a nap. We're both finding ourselves drifting in and out of sleep, which I guess is all due to wakening up in the middle of the night. I'm just about to fall into a nice sleep when the doorbell rings.
"Honey, the door" I say sleepily as I nudge my wife.
"I know" she replies just as sleepily.
"Go answer it then baby" I instruct, as my wife makes no movement.
"You answer it, I'm tired" Brittany states as she turns her head to look away from me.
"I'm tired too" I reply. "Plus, you're lying on me a little bit so you need to move if I need to get the door so since you need to move anyway you might as well just answer it" I say.
"You go" Brittany tells me as the doorbell rings again.
"Urgh fine" I groan. I would stay here and debate some more since I'm tired but if that doorbell rings one more time then we'll both be up anyway because the noise will wake Jaxon.
"I love you honey" Brittany says with a smile.
"Yeah-yeah" I playfully glare before getting up and heading to the door. I manage to answer it before the doorbell gets rung for a third time.
"Mrs Santana Pierce?" the man asks.
"Yes, that's me" I nod.
"A delivery for you" the man says before handing me a bouquet of flowers.
"Oh…uh thank you" I say surprised as I take the flowers. I then head back inside and into the living room.
"Did you get rid of whoever was there?" Brittany asks as she opens her eyes.
"Yeah, it was a floral delivery" I say as I show her the flowers.
"Who from?" she asks curiously.
"I don't know but watch out because my guess is a secret admirer" I smirk.
"I'm sure that's who they're from" Brittany smirks back at me.
"I'm smirking because I'm teasing you but why are you smirking" I ask confused.
"No reason" Brittany shrugs.
"Ok" I nod. I pull out the card from the flowers and open it up to see what the message says and who it's from.
Last night was fun!
I love you

"So, who is this secret admirer then that I need to compete with?" Brittany asks as I sit the card and flowers down on the table.
"Thank you, that's really sweet babe" I smile as I join my wife on the couch. "The flowers are beautiful" I say as I lean in to kiss her.
"I'm glad you like them" she tells me. "I wanted to do something special for you and kinda romantic so I thought flowers were at least a start" she smiles.

*Sunday 6th November 2022*
I woke up in great spirits this morning because it's my first wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's only been a year Brittany and I have been married. We have accomplished so much in our entire relationship but especially this last year. We became parents within the last year and that's the best role I've even been blessed with…well that and being a wife. The last year has been amazing and I can't wait for many many more years with Brittany, Jaxon and maybe another few kids along the way.
I'm currently just cradling Jaxon in my arms right now as my wife peacefully sleeps in bed. I was the first one to hear Jaxon wake up this morning so I tended to him and let Brittany continue to sleep. I took Jaxon downstairs and I gave him his milk before spending some time with him. We then came back upstairs and I got back into bed with Jaxon in my arms. We're just hanging out together for another while before Brittany begins to wake up.
"Morning" I smile at my wife as she opens her eyes and sees us sitting on the bed next to her.
"Morning" she smiles back at me.
"Happy anniversary mommy" I say while holding Jaxon in front of me, towards Brittany.
"Thank you, sweetheart" Brittany says while kissing Jaxon's cheek. "Happy wedding anniversary babe" she says turning to look at me before leaning in to kiss my lips.
"1 year, can you believe it?" I ask.
"I can and I can't" she tells me. "On the one hand it's went in so fast and I can't believe it's been a year but on the other hand, I feel like it should be more because we have a baby now and we're so settled that it's like we've been married 10 years" she elaborates.
"I know" I nod in agreement.
"Hey, do you want to trade anniversary gifts now or later?" Brittany asks.
"Now I think" I smile.
"Cool" she smiles back. "Do you want to go first babe?" she asks as she takes Jaxon from me.
"Sure" I nod. I then climb off the bed and go to my closet. I dig out the present and head back over to the bed to sit down. "For you, beautiful" I smile as I hand her the gift.
"Thank you" she says as she carefully lays Jaxon down on the bed next to us and takes the gift. Brittany opens her card first and reads it before opening her gift.
"What do you think?" I ask.
"Honey, it's amazing. Thank you" Brittany says as she takes the bracelet out and looks at it.
"It's got 3 charms on it already with the first letter of my name, the first letter of your name and the first letter of Jaxon's name. When we have more kids though, we can add to it and I'll get a charm with their letter on it" I explain.
"We're having more kids then?" she smiles at me.
"Yeah for sure we will…in time though" I smile back.
"Sounds good" Brittany says.
"Shall I put the bracelet on you?" I ask and she nods. I then carefully put the bracelet around her wrist.
"It looks great, honey" Brittany smiles.
"It really does" I say while admiring the jewellery. I really do have good taste. "Ok, is it me now?" I ask excitedly.
"Yes, it most certainly is" she tells me.
"I can't wait" I say while clapping my hands in excitement. I love getting presents but I love it even more when they're from my wife because besides counting me, she is awesome at gift giving.
"And this is for you" Brittany says while leaning over the bed where she reaches down the side. She picks something up and then sits back up. She then hands me a piece of paper.
"Uh…what?" I say confused.
"It's your anniversary gift" she smiles at me.
"You gave me a blank piece of paper for my anniversary?" I question annoyed. This isn't funny, I put a lot of time and effort into getting Brittany the best gift I could.
"Yeah. It's our first wedding anniversary which is our paper anniversary" Brittany smirks.
"Ok but it doesn't mean give me a sheet of copying paper" I shake my head in annoyance. "That's totally unacceptable" I sigh.
"Oh honey, you can't be that gullible" she laughs. "This is just a joke obviously. You can't seriously think that was your gift" she tells me while reaching down to the side of the bed again before picking up a giftbag and handing it to me.
"Is this my actual present?" I ask.
"Yes, it is" Brittany smiles. "Here you go" she says as she hands me the bag.
"Ok" I say excitedly as I begin opening the bag. I take out the card and open it first. I then take out the couple of presents and begin opening them.
"So, what do you think?" Brittany asks as I open the first present.
"It's beautiful babe" I say as I open the box to find a diamond bracelet with the date of our wedding inscribed on the back.
"I'm sorry we got each other the same type of gift" she tells me.
"Honey I love it" I smile. "I don't mind that we both bought each other the same type of jewellery. Yes they're both bracelets but they're both different so it's cool" I add.
"I guess it just shows us that we both have great taste" she points out.
"Exactly" I smile. "Ok, my next present" I say excitedly.
"That's just a fun present" Brittany tells me as I unwrap the other gift.
"Babe that's cute" I say as I look at the gift. It's heart shaped chocolates from my favourite brand with our names written on them.
"It's an expensive brand of chocolate so I knew you would love it" Brittany says.
"I will definitely eat these" I smile. I mean who doesn't love to indulge in chocolate when they can.
"I hope you don't mind but I didn't really buy another present to give to you from Jaxon because I figured what I did buy can be from both me and Jaxon" Brittany states.
"No that's totally cool. I thought the same really about yours" I say. "Maybe when Jaxon is slightly older then he can pick out a gift for you for another of our anniversaries" I add.
"Yeah that's what I thought" Brittany smiles.
"If it helps, he did sort of sign your card from me in his own unique way. If you look closely you can see a little wet area on the card where he dribbled on it" I say.
"Oh, that's cute" she says as she looks at the card again.
"I have another sort of gift for you" I say as I turn around to look at her.
"A sort of gift?" she questions.
"It's not exactly a present but it's something you'd like" I state.
"Ok so what is it?" Brittany wonders.
"My parents are having Jaxon tonight so you and I are going to dinner and then coming home for some very much needed one on one time" I tell Brittany.
"Sounds amazing, I can't wait" Brittany smiles.

As soon as my parents picked Jaxon up and took him to their house, Brittany and I got ready for dinner. We've had a few nights out recently where we could get all dressed up but tonight feels even better because we don't need to be as rushed as before since Jaxon has already left. I spent extra time in the shower tonight and not just because I could but also because I want to smell and look my best for my wife. We're baby-free tonight so there is no way we're not going to get intimate at some point in the night so I was taking the extra time to look good.
"Hey honey" I say as I leave the bathroom in nothing but a towel.
"Were you ok in the bathroom baby?" Brittany asks in concern.
"Uh…yeah" I reply confused. Why wouldn't I be ok in the bathroom?
"You seemed to be in there for quite some time so I was worried you maybe slipped down the shower drain or something" she teases.
"Very funny" I smile. "I was just taking my time making sure I was looking my best for our special night. It's not every night it's our anniversary nor is it every night I can have you all to myself" I add.
"I know what you mean actually because I did spend a little longer getting myself ready than I usually would" Brittany agrees.
"You'll be grateful later babe that I did pay attention to detail in the shower" I smirk at my wife.
"Oh really?" she asks, smirking back at me.
"Oh yeah" I nod.
"I'll look forward to later then" she tells me. "Anyway, I should get myself ready now before we're late for dinner" she adds.
"Yeah I should get ready too" I reply.
"Cool" Brittany smiles. We then both begin getting ready for our date night.
"You look wonderful Britt" I smile as we both head downstairs.
"As do you honey, you look smoking hot" she smiles back.
"Thanks babe" I say.
As soon as we grab our purses and keys, we head outside to get the awaiting cab. We then make the short journey to the restaurant. I'm always excited when we have a date night but I'm even more excited about tonight because Brittany is getting very handsy already and we've not even made it to dinner yet. It's one of the best feelings in the world knowing Brittany is still so in love with me, maybe even more so than we were when we first got together. I can't deny it though, I feel the exact same.
"Here we go ladies" the cab driver says as he pulls up outside the restaurant.
"Thank you" Brittany replies and then we get out and head inside.
"We have a reservation under Pierce" I tell the waiter.
"No problem, it's right this way" the waiter replies and leads us to our table. "I'll give you a few minutes to settle in and then I'll come back over and get some drinks for you" he replies as he places the menus down in front of us.
"Ok, thank you" Brittany smiles. The waiter then leaves.
"We're kid free and it's our anniversary so I'm sorry but I'm going to go all out tonight and order whatever I want and eat whatever I want" I smile.
"I know what you mean, champagne this calls for I think" Brittany states.
"I'll not say no to that" I smile. Just as we're looking over to the menus, the waiter comes over and sorts us out some drinks before leaving again to let us decide what we'd like to eat.
"Champagne for my beautiful wife" Brittany smiles as she pours me a glass of champagne and sits it down on the table in front of me.
"Thank you" I smile back.
"You're very welcome" she replies as she pours herself a glass.
"Here's to us and to many more anniversaries to come" I say while raising my glass in the air.
"Here's to us" Brittany says while raising her glass and tapping it on mine. We both take a sip and then place our glasses back down again.
"We should really think about food now before we drink too much and can't soak up any of the alcohol" I say. I'll be dammed if I get myself drunk tonight too quickly and can't fully enjoy and appreciate my first wedding anniversary with my wife.
"Yeah. So, any ideas on what you might like to eat?" Brittany asks me.
"I don't know, everything looks great on the menu" I reply as I continue to look over it.
"We could share two dishes if you want or we can go separately, I don't mind" Brittany offers.
"Let's share, it's cuter that way" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany nods. Once we decide on what we want to eat, the waiter comes over and we order.
"I wonder if we should call my parents and say goodnight to Jaxon before it gets too late" I suggest. It's probably better to do it before the food comes as well so it doesn't get cold sitting there waiting for us to eat it as we talk on the phone.
"Good idea" Brittany nods.
I pull out my phone from my purse and call my parents. My mom answers the phone so I talk to her for a moment before I get her to put the phone on speaker. Brittany and I then begin talking to Jaxon. We of course know he isn't going to reply but I like to think he can recognise our voices so hopefully that will settle him for the night. Once we're done on the phone call, I quickly use the bathroom and then head back over to the table, just in time to eat.
"The food tastes good" I point out.
"The company is better though" Brittany smirks.
"Smooth Pierce, that's smooth" I laugh.
"Seriously though, I love that we're getting to do little things like this again and spend time together" she tells me.
"I love it too" I smile.
"Do you want dessert?" Brittany asks me as we finish eating.
"Yeah but I don't want it here" I smirk.
"Now that is my kind of dessert" she smirks back at me.
Once we pay for our meal, we head outside and get a cab. We had thought of going to a bar or something for some drinks since the night was still young but then we decided against it. Even though we spend every night at home together, tonight is going to be different anyway so we're looking forward to doing some of the stuff we don't usually get to do. It's also nice though because we know Jaxon will be home tomorrow so we get a little bit of couple's time but still know we'll see our son soon.
"Tonight, has been great" I smile as we get ready for bed.
"It has and it's been nice to have some time to ourselves" she smiles back.
"Yeah really nice" I say as I begin changing.
"Nah-ah" Brittany says as she walks over to me, shaking her head. "No need to put pyjamas on when I'm right here and ready for you" she adds as she puts her arms around me.
"Getting straight to it, are we?" I smirk.
"Oh yeah" she says as she leans down and kisses me.

*Monday 7th November 2022*
Today is another great day for me because I have everything I want in my life. I have the perfect career, perfect wife and marriage, perfect child and perfect family. I really could not wish to be in a better place in my life right now. I always assumed work was the thing that made me happy but my feelings have changed now and I think family is my most important thing in life. I still love my job though and I am looking forward to getting back to work eventually but right now it's nice still having time with my family.
"It feels so good to wake up to you" I say as I roll over in bed and hug my wife.
"I especially love waking up to you when you're like this" she smirks as she starts caressing my body.
"Do you like me naked do you?" I tease.
"Yes, it's my favourite. Out of all the clothes you design and wear, your birthday suit is the best one" she smirks again.
"Ok" I laugh. Man, my wife can be so cute sometimes.
After spending some quality time in bed together, just the two of us, I get up. Brittany had to go to the bathroom anyway so it made sense to get up. I got myself dressed and headed downstairs to the kitchen to get my breast pump. Even though Jaxon isn't here so I don't need to breastfeed him, I still need to express some milk since my body knows I usually would have breastfed my son by now. Once I finish that, I tidy up a little around the house. I'm now just looking in the fridge to see what we could eat this morning when Brittany walks in.
"Breakfast?" I ask.
"Not right now" Brittany replies as she comes up behind me and wraps her arms around my waist. "I want to go back to bed with you first" she adds.
"Don't you want something to eat to refuel before we go back upstairs?" I ask. "Jaxon won't be home until the afternoon so we have plenty of time for just the two of us" I say.
"I suppose it would be nice to sit down to breakfast for a change. Usually one of us is feeding Jaxon while the other grabs something to eat in between chores" she replies.
"Yes, so what would you like me to make for us?" I ask as I move out of her hold so I can start making us some food.
"I'll eat anything you want to cook" she smiles.
"How about French toast, you like that" I suggest.
"Sounds great" she smiles again.
"Ok well you take a seat and I'll get started on it" I say.
"Don't you want some help baby; remember I still have at least 8 months to make up for because as I said before I think I have only repaid maybe 1 month of the pregnancy back" she tells me.
"Honestly, it's my treat this morning so sit back and I'll make breakfast" I smile.
"Ok but at least let me pour us something to drink, do you want some orange juice?" Brittany asks.
"Yes please" I reply.
Once I'm finished breakfast, we sit down and eat together. Brittany then insists on clearing up on her own since I cooked. We then get ourselves showered and ready for the day. We're now just lying on the couch together watching some TV and waiting for our son to get home. I should be using this time to relax since we're kid free or maybe even take a nap but I just don't want to. I guess I was well rested last night when we didn't have to get up in the night so I'm not tired now.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" I ask my wife as she looks deep in thought.
"A lot of things actually" Brittany replies.
"I hope I am included in that and you're thinking about how hard you're winning with me in your life" I tease.
"Yeah I am thinking about you, I'm always thinking about you" she smiles. "Seriously though, I am thinking about some other stuff to" she explains.
"Like what?" I ask curiously.
"Well Christmas is a month and a half away so I'm not going to lie, I think I might go back to work at some point and help out. Christmas is always a busy time for us at work and we want to take advantage of that so maybe one of us being there would help" she tells me. "I'm not saying let's both go back 5 days a week, 12 hours a day but I'm thinking maybe I could go in a few days or you could or we could each work an hour or two at home. I just think doing a little work during this busy period would be good."
"I know what you're saying because truthfully I've thought about it too" I admit. Neither of us were in a rush to go back to work after my pregnancy because it's great spending time with our son but this is one of the busiest times of the year for my company and I'm not sure that I trust my staff to run things on their own without me or my wife.
"I'm not saying let's start looking into childcare because I wasn't planning on us going back fulltime just yet but I don't see the harm in working from home the odd day. Or one of us going into the office or even both of us but we take Jaxon and only work like half a day" Brittany suggests.
"That might be an idea actually" I say. This could work because I'm not ready to leave Jaxon with anyone else at the moment but I would like to see how things are going at work especially with Christmas right around the corner.
"Anyway, we can talk more about it later. Let's just enjoy our afternoon together" Brittany says while wrapping her arms around me.
"Yeah" I smile while turning my head to kiss her cheek.

*Tuesday 8th November 2022*
Jaxon and I are having some quality mother-son bonding right now because Brittany is out running errands. She was supposed to just be going to the grocery store since we ran out of a few essentials but then she figured since she was out anyway then she might do some other things she had to do. She was going to take Jaxon with her and let me have some time to myself but we figured it would be quicker if she went alone, plus I wanted some time with my son anyway. I've got a dentist appointment tomorrow so if I want time alone, I can have it after that when Brittany is spending some mother-son time with Jaxon.
"Hey Jaxon, will we put these toys away and tidy up a little bit before mommy gets home?" I say to my son. He doesn't really respond; he just gives me a small warm smile. "Oh my god, you're so cute" I smile down at him and kiss his head. He's only just started smiling recently and it totally melts mine and Britt's heart.
"Hey I'm home" I hear Brittany say as she comes through the front door.
"It's mommy, shall we go and see her?" I say to Jaxon. I then carry him through to the kitchen where Brittany has gone with her grocery bags.
"How are my two favourite people?" Brittany asks as she begins to put the groceries away.
"We are both doing good. We were playing together and then we were just tidying up when you got back" I say. "Did you get everything done that you needed to do?" I ask.
"Yeah" she smiles. Once she finishes putting everything away, she walks over to Jaxon and I. She kisses Jaxon's head and kisses me on the lips. "Did you both miss me?" she asks.
"Of course, we did" I smile.
"I missed you both too when I was out alone" she tells me.
"Uh…honey, why is your wrist all taped up?" I ask confused as I see some taping or something covering her left wrist.
"I got a tattoo today actually" she smiles at me.
"Are you serious?" I ask surprised. I'm not surprised she got one because she's always spoken about them, I'm just surprised she got it today without mentioning anything to me. She always wanted a tattoo but she never could decide what to get and where to get it but I'm guessing she decided today.
"Yeah" she nods. "It wasn't my intention to do it today but for some reason it popped into my head and I just knew what to get" she adds.
"What did you get then?" I ask curiously.
"I got Jaxon's name and date of birth on my wrist and once we have more children, I'll add to it below his name" Brittany explains. "It's written from how I read it so I guess it might look upside down to you but I wanted to be able to see his name every time I look at my wrist" she adds.
"Wait…this isn't some cheat way to remember our children's birthdays is it?" I tease. There is no way she could forget them if they are tattooed on her wrist for her to see every time she lifts her wrist.
"Of course not" she smiles.
"Well I think that's kinda cute actually" I smile back.
"I'm going back next week and getting your name tattooed just above my heart" she states.
"Very funny" I smile.
"I'm not kidding babe, I actually am. I'm going to have a heart with your name in the middle, just above my heart on my chest" Brittany replies.
"You want to mark your body permanently with my name?" I question.
"Yeah, I do" she nods. "I know people say you never should get another person's name tattooed on you because what happens if you break up etc. etc. but I very much doubt that'll happen to us. Plus, even if we did break up…god forbid we don't…but if we ever did then I'm ok with the tattoo because we have a child together so you are always going to be a part of my life now."
"I suppose that is true" I smile. Brittany and I are stuck with each other now and not because we're together but because no matter what happens, we'll always have to be in each other's lives because we have a child together.
"Have you ever thought of getting another tattoo?" Brittany asks me.
"Yeah but it probably won't be right now" I say. I feel like I've put my body through a lot recently with the pregnancy and everything so I'm going to give it a rest. I know it's not really a big thing getting a tattoo because I already have some but anyway, I don't want to do anything just yet.

Jaxon is asleep in bed now and has been for a while. Brittany and I have just finished going through our bedtime routine and have just lay down in bed as well. Since we've been up and about getting ready for the last 20 minutes or so, we're now wide awake again. We were tired to begin with so decided to get ready for bed but after moving around we got awake again. We're just lying in each other's arms while talking to each other. Actually, we are whispering rather than talking because we don't want to wake up Jaxon.
"Your hand is going rather south Britt" I say struggling not to moan, as Brittany's hand begins moving down my body.
"Yeah and is that going to be a problem?" she asks me as she teases the waistband of my pyjama pants.
"Jaxon is like right over there" I say while placing my hand on top of hers so it doesn't go any further down my body.
"He's asleep so if we're quiet about this, I could probably make you orgasm very soon without any interruptions" Brittany tells me.
"Uh…I don't know about this. It's too weird for me being in the same room as my son and doing that" I say hesitantly.
"If you're quiet baby, he really isn't going to know" she assures me.
"Sometimes I can't be quiet though" I point out with a smirk.
"Turn to lay on your back" Brittany whispers to me.
"Ok" I nod while whispering back. I then turn around and lay on my back.
"If you really want to stop then tell me" she states.
"OK" I nod.
Brittany leans in and begins kissing my neck as her hand starts its descent again. When she gets to the waistband of my pyjama pants, I don't stop her this time, I let her hand slip past them. She teases me for a moment before slipping a finger through my folds. I moan at the feeling so she kisses my lips to try to keep me from being too loud.
"I need more" I say moaning quietly as her lips detach from mine.
"All in good time" she whispers to me.
Before I even get a chance to register anything else, she has slipped another finger into my folds. I want to moan so badly but I manage to stop myself as I become consciously aware of how we're not alone in the bedroom. I grip the sheets besides me and bite my lip as I hold myself back from moaning out loud. As soon as Brittany touches my most sensitive areas, I cannot help the moan that escapes from my lips.
"You almost there babe?" Brittany whispers in my ear.
"Yeah, so close" I whisper and before I know it, Brittany's fingers are moving faster and I'm falling off the edge, metaphorically speaking of course.
"You are so sexy when you come" Brittany tells me with a smirk.
"Thanks" I smile slightly.
"What's wrong, why are you not more satisfied?" she asks me.
"Do you think Jax heard or saw anything?" I ask, slightly embarrassed. I know he's only young but if he ever picked up on something like that then I'd be mortified.
"No, I really don't" Brittany assures me while kissing my cheek.
"Ok" I nod. We lie together in each other's arms, silently for a few moments. "Hey, come with me" I say while pulling Brittany out of the bed.
"Uh…ok" she says confused but never the less following me anyway. I take us to the guest bedroom and we get comfortable on the bed.
"How did you and I go from having zero time for romance to suddenly managing to have all of this time together?" I say with a chuckle.
"Yeah it doesn't make sense" Brittany laughs.
"Anyway…" I smile. I lean in and kiss her as my hands start caressing her body.
"What are we doing?" she replies confused.
"Your turn" I smirk as my hand begins travelling down Brittany's body. "Ready and waiting for me, I like it" I say with a wink as I notice how hard she is already.
"I've told you before babe, all I need to do is look at you sometimes and I'm ready" she states.
"That instant turn on only happens with me though, right?" I ask.
"Yeah, obviously. You're the sexiest person I know so it's inevitable I get turned on easily just by looking at you but it never happens with anyone else. I probably should try and control myself more around you but I can't" she smirks.
"Well right now you don't need to control yourself so relax and enjoy" I say as I kiss her again.
I meant to update last week but I've been working on all of my stories at the one time so nothing was finished yet. Anyway, let me know what you think. Also, if anyone reads my other stories, let me know which they'd like to read the most and I'll update it next.
