"That's what I thought too. So let's take a look and I'll let you decided if we should get it."
She turned to me and looked at me in amusement. "Are you asking me to move in with you Mr. Wonderful?"
I laughed. "About time you called me that! And yes, that's exactly what I'm asking. Do you want that?"
She nodded and squealed, "I do!"
"Okay, let's take a look then."
We walked into the apartment building and I saw the excitement in her eyes as she looked looked at everything.
"Hey, come look at this bedroom," I called out to her.
She looked up from the dining room area and rolled her eyes. "Don't get any ideas just because it's a bedroom."
I laughed. "You know you'd enjoy it if I jumped you right here."
She shook her head and laughed, but I could tell she was interested.
When she walked over to me and looked into the bedroom, she gasped and looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
"You did all this?!"
I beamed at her and nodded.
The room had already been decorated into a nursery for a baby girl. The walls had been painted pink, and in gold paint, the phrase "You are the butter to our bread, the breathe to our lives" stencil on the wall above the crib.
"Oh my God, I love you so much!" She threw her arms around me and sob uncontrollably against my shoulder.
When she finally pulled away, she looked at me in amazement. "How? When did you have time to do all this?"
I laughed. "I had asked Roger a few months ago if there were any units available on the ground floor. And it just so happened that the tenants in this unit just bought a house in the East Bay and was moving out. So I signed a lease to this place last month-"
"You did?" She stared at me in shock.
I nodded and chuckled in amusement. "Yeah. I knew you'd love it, and I wanted it to be a big surprise."
"Well I'm definitely surprised."
"Also I didn't want to take all the fun away from you, so I had the walls painted pink but figured we could put up the artwork together if you wanted to do a mural of some kind."
Tears of joy streamed down her face as she beamed up at me. "You thought of everything, even one of my favorite quotes from Julie & Julia."
"We watched it together during one of our first dates, and I had remembered that you really liked that quote. At the time, I didn't really understand the meaning behind that quote. But now, after everything you've given me, I know exactly what that quote means and it's how I feel about you and Izzy."
"I'm speechless, Damian. I can't believe you thought of all this."
"Oh but wait! There's more!" I exclaimed, mimicking the common phrase used by the TV infomercials.
She laughed and I saw the excitement in her eyes. "How could there possibly be more? This is already too much for me to handle."
I picked up a box from the crib and handed it to her.
"What is it?"
"Just open it and you'll see." I grinned at her.
She lifted the lid to the box and giggled.
"I couldn't decide on which one, so I got both made."
Inside the box were two customized onesies. One said, "I'm cute. Mommy's hot. Daddy's lucky," and the other one said, "I'm the product of a Damian Style shot."
Alexis shook her head and laughed. "These are too cute."
"I figure she can wear one of them on her first day. I'll let you decide which one."
She smiled up at me. "I think this one is perfect for Izzy's first day." She picked up the "I'm the product of a Damian Style shot" onesie.
"Awesome, that's the one I was rooting for," I chuckled.
"But was Izzy really the product of a Damian Style shot? I don't recall that happening." She frowned as she try to think back.
"Well we shared our first kiss as a result of a Damian Style shot." I winked at her and flashed her my signature devious smile. "And I'm pretty sure after that kiss, you started to salivate over me."
She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Even after all this time, you're still so full of yourself."
I laughed. "Isn't that the reason you love me? For my charm and good looks?"
She pretended to think about it for a minute. "Hmm. You're right. You don't have much else to offer, and I wanted a hot baby and a lifetime of free Damian Style shots."
"Hey! Be nice! This egomaniac would still like to keep his ego in tact."
She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled my mouth down onto hers. When our lips parted, she beamed up at me. "You're an incredible man, Damian. The most incredible man. I'll stroke your ego any day."
My chest felt full and filled to the brim with happiness while my cock twitched with anticipation of our future together. I knew Alexis would love my surprises for her today, but to see the excitement on her face and to hear her gush about it made me feel like the richest man in the world.

"Hey babe!" Alexis yelled out from the bathroom.
"Yah! Did you need anything in there?" I could hear the shower running inside and felt a jolt of panic.
"Can you come inside for a minute?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Since that day at the Palace of Fine Arts, we had grown closer than ever together. We had started having sex more regularly and she had been more open with me about her fears and insecurities since her mastectomy. But she had still been uncomfortable with me seeing her topless, and when we made love, she wanted to keep her shirt on. I knew it would take time for her to fully recover emotionally and I knew she needed to do it on her own terms.
I walked to the bathroom and slowly opened the door, giving her time to change her mind.
But I heard no objections.
"Hi," she said breathlessly as she looked at me from the open crack of the shower curtain.
"Hey." I smiled at her.
She smiled back at me and my heart skipped a beat. I loved the way she looked at me-it was a look that I could never get sick of, it was a look that I couldn't live without.
"Come join me in the shower." She gave me a come-hither smile and my cock hardened immediately.
"You don't need to ask me twice." I stripped off my clothes and walked over to shower.
She laughed. "That must be a world record for removing clothes."
"When it comes to you, baby, I aim to please."
She pulled the curtain open and I stepped in.
I pulled her face into mine and kissed her tenderly. Her lips were sweet like honey and I tasted her eagerly. A sigh escaped her lips as my tongue parted her mouth and explored hers.
After a few minutes, she pulled away and I saw tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong baby?" I wondered if I hurt her in any way.
"I'm sorry. I'm really trying, please believe me. I … I just don't feel attractive at all." Tears fell from her eyes as she turned away from me to shield her body from me.
"Alex," I said softly as I turned her shoulders toward me. Our eyes met, and I hoped she could see the love I had for her in my gaze. "You look radiant! You're glowing and it's beautiful."
I gently place my hand on the scar that ran across the right side of her chest, where her full breast once was. Her eyes met mine and I saw the despair and lost in her eyes. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. "This is beautiful," I whispered. "The sacrifice and courage you've shown me for the sake of our child is beautiful. Not every mother would do such a thing for their child." My eyes glistened as I thought back to my own mother. "You're beautiful." I pulled away and looked passionately into her eyes. "I can never fully express how much I love you. You are the most beautiful woman I know, and you take my breath away each time I see you."
Tears filled her eyes as her hands held tightly around my hand against her chest. She squeezed it as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I love you, Damian."
"I love you too, Alex."
I felt a need inside me grow and I knew I needed her now.
"Let me make you feel amazing, baby."
I pinned her against the back wall of the tub and began to kiss her urgently. She gasped as my free hand moved down my body and moved up between her legs.
"Fuck, baby. You're already so wet."
She reached for my cock and I threw my head back violently as her wet hands moved along the length of my shaft. "And you're already so hard."
I grabbed her hand and against my own desires, I pulled it away from cock.
She looked up at me in confusion.
"Baby, you're going to have our baby soon. I don't want you to do any work. So right now, it's all about you, okay? Let me just make you feel amazing."
