I turned off the shower and pulled the removable shower head from its base.
"Now lie on top of me so you're comfortable," I instructed as I laid down in the tub and helped Alexis as she slowly lowered her back against my body.
My cock throbbed as she pressed her back against me and moved against my erection. I knew she was trying to tease me. She was dying for me to fuck her, and as much as my cock wanted the same thing, I wanted today to only be about her.
"Like I said, it's all about your pleasure right now," I groaned into her ear as I held her hips in place. "Now relax and enjoy."
"But I want you inside me, Damian," she panted.
"Not today, baby. Do you know what I'm going to do to you today?" I asked seductively.
She shook her head as her body writhed on top of me.
I leaned close her to ears and whispered huskily, "I'm going to make you come like you've never come before, baby."
She gasped at my words and I saw her chest heave up and down in anticipation.
I grabbed my bottle of Dr. Bronner's organic liquid soap with peppermint oil from the side of the tub and squeeze a few drops in my palm.
Alexis inhaled sharply when she realized what I was going to do.
I massaged the peppermint oil soap onto my hands and began to circle my fingers around her clitoris.
She cried out in pleasure as her hands tightened their grip on my thigh. "Oh God, Damian!" she screamed in uneven breaths. I felt her clit swell under my fingers and knew she was close to her climax. I inserted two fingers inside her as I turned on the shower head.
"Wh-what's that for?" she asked through uneven breaths.
"It's for your earth-shattering orgasm," I groaned in her ear.
Before she can respond, I placed the water pressure against her clitoris and moved my fingers deeper into her pussy with each thrust. Gasps and moans escaped her lips as I felt her begin to clench onto my fingers.
"Fuck! Baby, I'm going to come!"
"Yes," I roared, "Come for me baby."
"I'm coming!" she cried out in pleasure as her orgasm consumed her and she stiffened on top of me.
Then I felt liquid slid down my cock and smile.
"That's some orgasm," I smirked, feeling proud of myself for making her come so hard, she had a female ejaculation.
"Um, Damian?"
"Yeah," I groaned in pleasure.
"I think my water just broke."
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Alexis
"Hooo Hooo heee. Hooo Hooo heee." I tried to keep my breathing steady and controlled to cope with the agonizing pain.
"Come on, Alexis. You're about eight inches dilated. It won't be long now."
"God! I'm not sure I can take this any longer!" I screamed. I was approaching my ninth hour of labor and baby Isabella was certainly taking her sweet time.
I looked over at Damian, who was a few yards away. He ran his hands through his hair as he paced around the room. He looked over at me and mouthed a "I'm sorry." The nurse had told him to step away from me when he started to freak out. I had laughed at the time. I had never seen Damian lose his composure like that before.
But now the pain had gotten too intense, and laughter was the last thing on my mind. All I could do was to focus on my breathing and watched him pace nervously around the room while constantly glancing between the two nurses, the doctor, and me.
I could feel drops of sweat roll down my face as I tried to control my breathing.
After what seemed like days of indescribable pain, the nurse finally said, "Okay, you're fully dilated now. I can see the baby's head and she's ready to come out, so we'll need you to really push."
I screamed in pain as I felt as if my body was being ripped in two. Something's fucking ripping down there, that's for sure, a tiny voice in the back of my mind screamed sarcastically.
Damian rushed to my side, and I saw the sheer panic and worry on his pale-stricken face. "Baby, what can I do?" He brushed a few dampen strands of hair from my face. "Tell me what you need me to do. I'll do anything." His face scrunched into a frown each time I screamed, as if he was experiencing the same earth-shattering pain that I was feeling.
"Hold my hand," I begged. "Just fucking hold my hand and give me strength." Both tears and sweat ran down my face as the pain radiated through my entire body. I felt his strong hands clasp onto mine and I squeezed them as I fought through the agony.
"Push, Alexis, push!" the nurse yelled.
"Ughhh!"
"Baby, you can do this! You are the strongest person I know! You're beautiful and very soon, we're going to have a beautiful baby girl."
A part of me wanted to scream at him to shut up, to stop lying to me that I was beautiful right now when I was probably the most hideous monster to have ever screamed her lungs out. I squeezed his hand ever harder, wishing he could feel an ounce of the pain I was going through right now.
"Shut up!"
"Shit, aren't you glad we didn't do the natural birth thing and we got the epidural?"
"Fuck! I hate you right now for being a man!" I glared at him.
Damian chuckled at my unreasonableness and a part of me hated him a little more. "Baby, I hate myself too! I wish I could shoulder this pain for you."
"Push!" screamed the nurse again.
"What the fuck do you think I'm doing?!" I screamed back at the nurse.
"Sorry, she's a feisty one!" Damian said to the nurse.
She laughed. "They're always the strongest."
"I know. That's quite a gripe!" Damian made a face as I clenched onto his hand even tighter.
"Uhhh! You fucker! You did this to me! I! Haaaattte! Youuuu!" I screamed as I pushed again with all my strength.
"I see the head!" the nurse exclaimed. "Keep pushing!"
"Can you see her?" I asked Damian as I looked down toward the nurse. "Ahhh!" I pushed once more.
"Oh God. This shit is crazy! Alex, push! She's coming out! You're almost there!" Damian's face turned pale white as his mouth gaped open, watching me from behind the nurse.
I pushed one last time, and then I heard her. Isabella's crying filled the air and it was the sweetest sound I'd ever heard.
I watched as Damian cut the umbilical cord and stared at Isabella in awe. The nurse gently wrapped Isabella in a towel and placed her in my arms.
"Mommy, come say hello to your sweet baby girl."
"She's beautiful," I laughed and cried as tears streamed down my face. I looked up at Damian who beamed at me.
"Just like her mother," he whispered.
We both stared at Isabella as she whimpered and looked back at us with fascination.
Damian leaned down and kissed Isabella gently on the forehead before kissing my forehead. "Alex, baby. I made her. We made this beautiful tiny thing."
And it was then that I saw Damian cry for the first time.
EPILOGUE
Damian
Today was a big day-a life-changing big day.
There had been only a few of these type of days in my life where I'd felt this nervous and anxious. Today was by far the biggest of those days.
I was sitting in the parking garage structure attached to the back of the hospital going over my thoughts. After a few minutes, I took a deep breath and got out of the SUV.
"Wake up, sleepy head," I whispered as I opened the door to the back seat where Isabella was fast asleep. I watched as she whimpered softly and stirred gently in her car seat. She moved her thumb into her mouth and began to suck on it.
I chuckled. Just like her mom. I shook my head in amazement as I watched her. I still couldn't believe that my baby girl was six months old. She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I beamed down at her and thought of Alexis. She had her mother's natural beauty.
She also has her mom's feistiness, I thought as Isabella began to cry when I picked her up from her car seat.
"Izzy, you're even beautiful when you cry." I chuckled. "You're probably still cranky from being woken up from your nap, huh?" I placed her back in her seat and kissed her button nose. She started to calm down and sniffled as she stared at me.
"Cheer up, buttercup. Today's a fresh new day! You never know what's just waiting for you around the corner. Every new day comes new possibilities. So why not start your day happy with a smile on your face." I repeated the words Alexis's father used to say to her. This precious little thing was my daughter, and I wanted to be as great of a father to her as Alexis's father was to Alexis. My baby girl deserved at least that amount of love.
Isabella looks up at me with her sparkling blue eyes full of wonder, and as if she understood what I had just told her, she giggled and mumbled something only she could understand and laughed in delight.
