With that, Sarah collapses into the warm cocoon of my arms, even as Grant cradles her curvy form from behind with both of his big hands on her belly. Our blue eyes meet over the curvy girl’s head, but no words need to be spoken because my stepdad and I are in accord on this. We love Sarah, and we want her child. Yes, this is an illicit arrangement, and yes, we may never know who the biological father of this baby is. But it doesn’t matter because with the curvy girl in our lives, everything will work out for both father and son.
Epilogue
Sarah
Six months later.
“God, I’m huge,” I say, looking at myself in the full-length mirror in my old bedroom at my parents’ house. My belly is indeed so mountainous that it looks like a giant beach ball, and I giggle.
“Yes, but you’re beautiful,” says Lucy, combing my hair over one shoulder so that it falls prettily. “You’re absolutely glowing.”
“Thank you for setting up this baby shower,” I say, turning to look at my kind friend. “I know Judy and Bill weren’t easy to deal with.”
After all, my parents were generous enough to offer their house for the baby shower. Of course, Braden and Grant suggested we have it at the Manhattan penthouse, but my parents insisted, and Lucy gave in. Sometimes, it’s easier not to fight with Judy and Bill, and my friend was smart enough to see that straight away.
But now, the guests are downstairs, waiting for me as Lucy helps me put the finishing touches on my hair and makeup.
“You look gorgeous,” Lucy coos. “And soon you’ll have a baby of your own!” she says, nodding to the bassinet on the floor where her newborn sleeps.
I look down and smile.
“He sure is cute.”
Lucy grins. “He is, and he takes after his daddy. Can I tell you a secret, girlfriend? But it’s super-dirty and you can’t tell anyone else.”
Of course, I’m immediately intrigued. “Spill it, Luce.”
My buddy smiles secretively, twisting a brown curl around one finger.
“Well, sometimes after the baby’s done breastfeeding, Brandon will come over and drink some of my milk himself. It feels nothing like when the baby’s at my breast, and Brandon looks really hot when he’s sucking.”
My eyes widen.
“Oh my God, that’s dirty! But it’s also sexy and I can totally see it. I wonder if Braden and Grant will want some of my milk when the time comes?” I muse, looking at my enormous bosom in the mirror. After all, Braden, Grant and I take the prize for most illicit romantic arrangement. After discovering I was pregnant, Grant immediately moved me into his penthouse on Central Park West. It’s a huge place, and I was afraid Braden would feel left out, but actually, Braden bought the penthouse right next door, so he’s always around as well. Not only that, but my boyfriends built a door connecting the two apartments, so we go in and out non-stop.
It works well because I’m absolutely over the moon for my two men, and adore spending time with them. Many people were shocked when I announced I was pregnant, and they were even more astonished when I said the father could be one of two men I was in a relationship with. But the naysayers began to drop away when they saw that our love is real, and now, we live in idyllic tranquility.
Suddenly, my sister pops her head inside.
“Sarah, everyone is waiting for you downstairs, but I wanted to ask if I could invite someone over for the party? Oh hi, Lucy.”
I shoot my baby sister a look.
“Yes, definitely. I mean, the party’s already started, but your friend is certainly welcome.”
Colleen grins and grows pink, her brown curls bobbling.
“Oh thanks,” she chirps. “I’ll be sure to introduce you when the time comes.”
She leaves and I share a look with Lucy.
“Friend?” my buddy asks, one eyebrow arched.
“It’s more than a friend,” I say ruefully. “I’ve been chatting with my sister more, and it turns out that we have a neighbor who is rumored to be … well, very endowed, let’s say. Colleen’s been consumed with curiosity, and I think that’s who she wants to invite.”
“Oh my God!” Lucy gasps, her eyes wide. “Are you serious?”
I nod.
“Not only that, but this neighbor is something like forty years old. A little too old for my sister, don’t you think? Given that Colleen just turned nineteen?”
Lucy giggles.
“Well, you know that Grant’s double your age, and my husband’s double mine, so it’s not that weird. Or at least, we’re not the ones to talk.”
I laugh too, and the baby kicks then.
“You’re right,” I acknowledge. “But come on, let’s go downstairs before they have the party without us.”
We descend to the first floor, and immediately, my two boyfriends come over and press kisses to my cheek.
