Thank you all so much for the feedback! Hello to all the lurkers and some that have come out of hiding and let me know they're reading
Now...we have a baby to welcome into the world...let's get to it
Chapter 10
This is so exciting! I can hardly contain my happiness. “Liz you wanna calm down? Seriously we are gonna have to wipe you off the ceiling soon.” I roll my eyes. Sarah has been a nervous wreck since her and Zan got to the hospital.
“You okay?”
“Sure. Perfect. Not a problem in the world. I’m as fine as pie.” Now I know there is a problem, she never uses those words…ever.
I pull her off to the side, while the guys bullshit about whatever guys bullshit about. Once we are far enough away, I lightly push her down into a chair, taking a seat next to her.
“You want to tell me the truth now? What’s wrong?”
“I’m fucking terrified! I can’t have a baby! There is no way a thing that size is going to come out of me and leave me in once piece at the same time! Maria is like screaming her head off, and the baby isn’t even here yet. Oh God! What the fuck am I going to do?” I hope she realizes that it’s a little too late to do anything. I don’t know what to say to make her calm down. Except one thing.
“Whoosah!” I say standing up and rubbing my ears. I know you all think I’ve finally lost it. But trust me…this will work.
She looks at me as if to say, have you lost your fucking mind? But then I see the recognition in her eyes.
“Whoosah baby! Fucking whoosah!” And she stands and rubs her ears as well. We stand here for a few minutes repeating our words. Then we look at each other and burst out laughing.
“I can’t believe you remembered that!” She says wiping the tears from her eyes.
“How could I forget? We love that movie!” Oh you’re probably wondering what movie. So I won’t keep you guessing, it’s from Bad Boys II. Fucking great movie!
After a few minutes we get our breathing under control and I decide I need to get a little serious with her.
“Sarah, sit back down.” Once she does I sit down next to her and take her hand.
“You are going to be perfectly fine. Women have babies everyday so it’s not some new scientific discovery. Now, you know you want this baby and you know you are all too excited for it’s arrival. There is nothing you can do about it, and there is no way for you to stop it. Trust me, the reward at the end has got to be worth it, right?” I ask her swallowing back the tears in my throat.
“You’re going to be a great mother so don’t worry. Besides, I’m gonna be the best aunt that child has ever seen, so even if you fuck up….I’ll be there to save the day.” I say trying to lighten the mood and it works. Cause she’s now laughing.
“What would I do without you, Liz?”
“I honestly don’t know. You would survive but it wouldn’t really be worth it now would it?”
“No, it…”
“You wanna finish up with that girlie shit?” We both look up to see Max and Zan staring at us.
“Sorry. We just had something to discuss. How’s she doing?”
“Well, she wants all of us in the room…now.” Max says and I’m a little confused. I hope nothing is wrong…I mean what if…
“Liz, it’s okay. She just wants to talk to us before she has the baby. So we better hurry.” I nod and follow my husband back down the hall.
****
So here we are all gathered in her maternity suite and she still hasn’t said anything. I have to say that her contractions are very close so she needs to spit it out already. Max comes to stand behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder. He kisses me softly before turning his attention to Michael and Maria.
“Okay, so Maria wanted you guys in here to tell you something.” Michael turns towards Maria giving her the signal.
“Right. Look, I love all of you guys and you know that…we both do. But before I have this baby I needed to just say to all of you how happy I am you are all here to share this with us. And…Max I wanted to thank you for being there for me in the very beginning,” I feel Max’s heart begin to race, seeing her that emotional would strike a cord with anyone. Another contraction hits and she hurries along with the rest of her speech.
“When I basically flipped out on Michael. I don’t know if I ever told you how important of a moment that was for me and how much you helped me see the truth in Michael’s words. And Liz…sweetie I just love you to death. You’ve been my best friend for as long as I can remember. You are going to be a great aunt of that I have no doubts, but even more so I know you’re going to be a great mother. So with that said, Max…Liz we’d like you to be the Godparents of our baby. Will you?” I’m shocked…I’m stunned and I’m speechless. I feel Max push me towards the bed and he gives Michael a quick hug and then places a kiss on Maria’s forehead.
“We’d be honored.” Max smiles and I realize I haven’t said a word and that’s probably because I’m crying so hard that I can’t.
“Thank you…Maria…Michael.” I look up to him and he wraps his arms around me and kisses my cheek before releasing me. I walk over to Maria, and I just smile and kiss her cheek softly. “I love you, Maria. No matter what you need, you know I’ll be there.” She smiles past her tears as another contraction hits.
“Okay folks! Time to clear out, there is a baby that wants to be born.” We all smile and say our goodbyes.
“I’ll see you in a little while.” I say to Maria as I close her hospital door. I need some air.
****
“There you are.” I turn around and see my husband standing just a few feet from me with a concerned look on his face.
“Here I am. Is Maria okay?”
“Yeah, no baby yet but he’s coming.” He smiles.
“Can you believe it? We’re going to be God parents!” I say walking into his open arms.
“I know. I’m still reeling over it.” I know there’s more he wants to say, but he was right. We need to wait, not long but I need to give him time just like I need time. I realize now after talking to Sarah I never thought past the point of being pregnant. There is a lot to consider and I didn’t take the time to do so, but now I have that chance.
“Max?” I whisper out against his chest. “I love you so much, you know that right?”
“I know Liz…I know.” I look up at him and he smiles down at me. I lean up on my tiptoes and kiss his lips softly. It’s not enough for him though. He wraps his arm around my waist and then cups the back of my head in his hand and begins to devour my lips.
“I…love…you…God…I love you.” He mumbles against my lips as he dips his tongue further into my mouth and I eagerly open up to his assault. I’ll never get tired of kissing him…never.
“Ahem!” We break apart like we’ve been burnt to see Kyle standing with Tess at his side with a smirk on his face.
“Hey man.” Max says casually, but I can’t even look them in the face. “What’s goin on?”
“It’s Maria, she had the baby.”
“Oh! Did you see him yet? Is she okay?” I start firing off the questions.
“Slow down there tiger. No, Michael just came out and told us.” I grab Max’s hand and practically run to Maria’s room.
After a few minutes, Michael lets a few of us in at a time. Everyone insists that Max and I go first, and I don’t turn down the offer.
“Oh Maria! He’s so beautiful and perfect!” I say while holding his tiny little body in my arms. Max comes to stand behind me and starts playing with his fingers. I look up and I know that I’m crying but I don’t care, he just smiles and kisses my lips softly.
“Amazing.” Max says and then asks to hold him. I lay him in Max’s arms and watch as he smiles and interacts with Joshua. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you the baby’s name, shame on me! Anyway, his name is Joshua Michael Guerin.
“Michael, he’s just…” I turn to him and he has tears swimming in his eyes, which is a first.
“I know.” And I watch as Max hands his best friend, his new son.
“Are you sure you’re okay? Do you need anything?” I ask Maria softly. She looks exhausted.
“No, just some sleep. You want to tell everyone to come in next that way I can close my eyes in a few minutes?”
“Sure. Love you.”
“Love you too.” Max and I leave a minute later and watch as everyone enters the room shortly thereafter to see the baby.
****
It’s about six in the morning and I’m beat. We just got home from the hospital and even though I’m tired, I’m still excited.
“Oh my God! How exciting was that? It was just amazing!” I say as we settle in bed next to one another.
“It was Liz. I mean I never knew it was that intense, but it was great.” He says with a smile on his face, but there is something bothering him.
“It was!” I say as I lean against his chest and he begins to play with my hair.
“Max, what’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry.” Did I miss something?
“For what?”
“I just saw your face when you held Joshua and I felt like my heart broke, baby. You were so excited and you smiled almost as bright as the day we got married. I can’t deny you that, Liz.”
“You’re not, Max. We are being practical about it. I want to wait until the house is done. It’s going to be so much stress and right now I don’t think I’d be able to handle it. Besides I have to spend some time getting to know Joshua, and plan Tess and Sarah’s baby showers. I can’t do that while I’m pregnant, that will be too stressful for me.” I tell him honestly. I told you I was thinking about it.
“You sure?”
“I’m positive. Although I might need some more of that... what is it you call it? Practice.”
“Well, I think I can definitely help with that.” He leans down and kisses me gently. Then helps me onto my back. He traces tiny circles across my exposed belly and then he stops. Why?! Damn it that was feeling so…
“Liz…you’re still on birth control right?”
“Yes. Why?”
“How long do you have to be off of it to try and get pregnant?” Why was he asking? Was he asking because he was ready? What if he is…I’m not sure if I am. Damn the irony that is my life.
“About three months I think, why?”
“I just wondered.”
“Oh…” I don’t know what to do with that question at all.
“Liz,I love you. You know that right?”
“I know.”
“Good. Now I think it’s time we practice.” He smiles before leaning down and covering my lips with his.
I love practice!
2 Months Later
“How’s the decorating coming?” I ask Sarah as we sit outside trying to soak up the sun. I’ve been so busy with cooking school and the hospital, going to see the house on a daily basis to check on things that I barely have time for my friends anymore. In addition to which I’ve barely seen my husband in a month. The merger is coming to a close, which means I get more alone time with him.
“It’s coming. I swear if I get any bigger I’m not going to be able to fit through the doors.”
“Funny. You’re adorable.”
“Here you go.” Maria walks out on the patio and places Joshua in my lap. He gurgles and then just settles against my chest.
“Maria, how can you stand to be away from him?” I ask in awe.
“Trust me, when you’re changing his diaper and feeding him like a thousand times a day, oh and don’t forget when he’s crying in the middle of the night, you find a way to tear yourself away.” She smiles as she takes a seat beside me. I know that despite the fact that she says that, she knows she can’t stand to be away.
“Now, what were you guys talking about?”
“We were just talking about how me and Zan’s decorating was going.”
“Ooh! How about we talk about when you guys are going to get married.”
“Yes lets.” I pipe in with my two cents.
“We talked about it and we decided to wait until the baby is born.”
“Speaking of which what are going to do for Tess’ bachelorette party?” Maria asks and I simply groan.
“Aww come on Liz. Don’t be a spoiled sport.”
“I’m not! It’s just we all know how mine turned out.”
“Yes, but come on it was so worth it.” I can’t deny that.
“Right. Look let’s do something with all the girls, something silly and fun.” I suggest.
“Oh, Tess isn’t going to want that. She already said she wants to go to a strip club.” I groan again. “I know. I know you hate them, but oh well sweetie you have to suck it up.”
“Yeah…yeah.” I grumble out.
“Anyway, lets talk about something else.” Maria says as she leans over to see what the guys are up to. We decided since it was a nice day out, that we’d have a barbeque together.
“What do you want to talk about Maria?” I ask already knowing where the conversation is going.
“Post child sex.”
“Maria! Please I don’t want to think about that. If Zan puts his hands on me one more time I might have to strap his ass to the bed again.” Sarah randomly says.
“Oh that’s…wait? You didn’t!” I screech out.
“Oh yeah, we did. You know that’s how I got my nickname anyway. They don’t call me S&M for nothin!” She replies, a huge smile on her face. I did know, I just didn’t think she wanted everyone else to know as well.
“No fucking way!” I hear Maria say as she comes to sit between Sarah and I.
“Oh yeah. One night I was messing around with him and we were drunk, anyway we got to talking and making out, and he asked me if he could tie me to the bed. So I was like…hell yeah! I mean, look at him!” She turns slightly in her chair, moving her sunglasses down her nose a little to look over them. “Who wouldn’t want to have that fine piece of man tie them up?” I laugh because she’s just so crazy.
“Right…right…come on…” Maria encourages.
“Maria! Stop acting like you haven’t had any in…” She pins me with a glare that says to shut up and I do so.
“So we do it with my hands tied to the headboard with scarfs, but then I want my turn and he doesn’t want to let me tie him up! So I wait a little while and a few drinks later he’s practically begging me to tie him up.”
“Why?” Maria asks confused.
“Because I won’t sleep with him unless he lets me do it.” Sarah shrugs.
“Oh, that’s smart.” I can already tell Maria is filing that piece of information away for later use.
“I know.” She winks and takes a sip of her lemonade.
“So Maria, what was it you were saying again?” I ask, trying to get the conversation back on topic.
“Well Michael and I finally did it like two weeks ago, cause I was all worried and shit.” Now this is something I’ve wondered about, does it even feel the same?
“Oh God! It was amazing. Seriously, I thought it wouldn’t be good or I dunno and maybe it wasn’t that great but after not being able to get any in months it felt great!” She says and takes a whimpering Joshua into her arms.
“What felt great?” Michael, Zan and Max are all standing in front of us. Kill me know if they heard our conversation.
“Nothing.” We all say simultaneously. And they all look at us suspiciously. But because they know better, they don’t ask.
“I say we break out some hard shit.” Michael says.
“Fuck you all! You know I can’t drink!” Sarah says, obviously pissed off. Zan rushes to her side to sooth her as she starts pouting. He’s so whipped.
“Yeah, we know. So Liz will do more for you.” Max says.
“Me? Hello, I don’t think so. You all know I can’t hold my alcohol.”
“Yeah, that’s the fun in it.”
You guys haven’t seen me drunk yet…it’s not pretty.
****
“Oh and den we went to…hmm…Max wer’d we go?” I ask while taking yet another swig of Tequila. I’m all fucked up right now and I don’t even know what I’m talking about.
“Liz, maybe you need to slow down.” He pulls the glass from my hand and I know he’s pretty far gone but not as bad as me. I dip my finger in the glass and bring it to my lips and suck.
“Liz…” He turns his head and nuzzles my neck provocatively. I know he’s so turned on it’s not even funny.
“Hmm…”
“Oh no! Yur not gonna be fuckin’ on my patio…no way.” Maria slurs out and I can’t help but laugh. As if we would right in front of everyone.
“Nope! I’m a good girl. I don’t do nofin like that!” I say and I suddenly feel a warm palm against the small of my back and without thinking…yet again I let the words I vowed to never let slip past my lips in public out.
“Aww, does Mr. Snuggles want to come out and play?”
“M-Mr. S-Snuggles? Holy shit Maxwell! That is not what she calls your dick is it?!” Michael is laughing so hard, as well as Maria, Sarah and Zan, and that’s when I realize what I just did.
“Max…I’m so sobry.”
“Liz. How the fuck! I told you to NEVER say that in public!” He jumps up and makes his way towards the pool house. He probably wants to leave now. Damn it! We’re drunk! I’m drunk! I don’t need this!
“Max!” I stand up but realize I did it too soon. I slowly regain my bearings and go after him. Of course the guys can’t help but make fun. I’m going to pay for this.
“Aww it’s okay Maxie, Mr. Snuggle Wuggles can play.” I hear Zan say and then they all burst into a fit of laughter once again.
“Max…wait up…please.”
“Max?” Where the fuck is…
“Hmm…” He pins me against the side of the pool house.
“Liz it wasn’t very nice of you to say that. You’re going to have to face the consequences.”
“I am?” I whisper out breathlessly.
“Oh yeah. Right here…right now.” He covers my lips with his and begins kissing me greedily. Like he can’t get enough of me. His hands are everywhere, on my breasts, on my ass and between my legs.
“Max…we can’t…here…outside.” I moan out as he plunges his tongue into my mouth forcefully and grinds his hips into mine.
“Yes we can baby. It’s your punishment.” He moans out as I cup his erection in the palm of my hand.
He then hooks two fingers in my bikini bottoms and pulls them down my legs. With no preliminaries he lifts one of my legs and begins to suck on the sensitive flesh on my neck.
“Max…what are you doing? Everyone is here…” He doesn’t let up he unties my bathing suit top and lets it fall to the ground.
“I. Don’t. Care. Right now I want to fuck you so bad…I don’t care who sees…or hears…” He then takes his erection in hand and slides it into my already dripping core.
“Oh that feels so fucking good…you wanted this didn’t you baby?” He whispers out as he fucks me hard.
“Yes…Max…” I moan out and try to hold onto him as he pumps wildly into my body. I don’t know if it’s ever been this erotic before, but I’m not stopping to ask.
“You wanted me to give you the best standing fuck of your life, right outside where everyone can hear your sexy moan…” He pants out taking one of my plump breasts in his mouth and sucking on it hard.
“Max…yes! Oh God!” I moan out loudly and I don’t care who can hear me, this feels too damn good.
“Oh yeah…baby…yeah…” He reaches between us flicks my clit over and over again. All the while penetrating my body until I feel like I might scream out in pain and ecstasy all at the same time.
“Come for me baby…scream my name…let your tight wet walls clamp down around my hard cock as I fill you up…Oh God Liz…I’m a come…” He groans out against my neck.
“Max!” I begin to come and I can feel it drip down his cock.
“Yeah, baby I can feel you…so warm…so silky…oh yeah I love fucking you baby…yeah…ah…yeah…” I feel his body tense as one of the hardest orgasms he’s ever had takes over.
After a few minutes he releases my leg and wipes my hair away from my forehead. “You okay?”
“Hmm…never better.” I smile and kiss him softly.
“Me too baby…me too.”
