I bucked around on top of him, making the water splash out of the tub. I didn’t care. My body was giving way for the most euphoric release I’d ever experienced. I dug my nails into his shoulders and cried out as my pussy began to tighten, just like he said it would. My muscles were pushing him out, but he shoved me down and kept moving.
I was still feeling the after effects of what had just happened to me. There was no way I could even consider still going, but Stosh wasn’t done. He was still hard as a rock and waiting to rock my world all over again.
We fucked in the tub until the water was cold. Our bodies were so hot, that we hadn’t noticed.
When we climbed out, my legs felt like they were Jell-‐O and our skin was pruned. Stosh wrapped me in a towel and led me into the guest bedroom. There was no sense in me dressing. Neither one of us wanted clothes being in the way of touching each other. If I had it my way, I’d sleep with him still inside of me every night.
For the first time in my life, I didn’t argue with staying wrapped in Stosh’s arms all night. Being that close to him made me feel safe. He ran his hand over my belly and pulled down the covers to watch himself doing it. “I think it’s going to be a girl.”
I giggled. “Why?”
He shrugged and put his head on my stomach. “I don’t know. I guess I can just picture myself carrying her on my shoulders and her calling me daddy. I imagine her to have your smile and my keen sense of fashion,” he joked.
“You hardly match. I wouldn’t let you pick out our little girls clothes.”
“Sure you would. Especially after a hard day at the office. You could come home and get a kiss from your two favorite people and then sit down to a nice meal that we cooked together. She’s going to be my little chef apprentice. I just know it.”
“I’ll be happy no matter what we have, as long as their healthy. Nothing pleases me more than to know that we’re going to be a real family. When I decided to not have the abortion, I wondered how I was going to raise a baby by myself. I mean, I know lots of women do it, but it would be so difficult. I don’t have money laying around. My parents had disowned me. I thought you were with Ivy. It was all so much to worry about. Now everything is different. I couldn’t be more excited.”
He kissed my belly. “Me too. I can’t wait until this bullshit is done and we can finally get started.”
“Do you have any family names you want to consider?” I ran my fingers through his thick hair.
“Nah, but I do have one I’d like to consider. “Hetero Sexual Jumpsuit.”
I sat straight up. “Say what?”
He started laughing and even covered his face. “What.? It’s a cool name.”
“It’s a ridiculous name. It sounds like a garage band. Where did you even come up with that?”
He was still laughing so hard that he had to wait to answer. “I made it up.”
“You’re sick in the head if you think for one second I would consider something so silly.”
“I’m kidding. It was a funny joke name, though.”
I shook my head and smacked him lightly. “I’m so glad we have plenty of time to consider other options. I know your name is unusual, but that is absurd.”
“That’s fine. I’ll save that name for our first puppy.”
“Poor Dog!”
We both started laughing.
For the next hour I stayed wrapped up in Stosh’s arms. We talked about our future and how excited we were to finally be getting one. The only thing that wasn’t discussed was my sister. Life couldn’t always revolve around Ivy’s antics. We deserved a shot to be together, without all of the bullshit that came with it.
Ever since he’d found out that I was having a baby, he seemed to change somehow. It wasn’t like he didn’t seem devoted before, it was just that it had been heightened. His excitement was obvious and it let me know that he’d do anything for us, as I would do anything for him.
We fell asleep when exhaustion made it impossible to keep our eyes open. We were safe and knowing that made it easy to relax. My body needed sleep and I stopped fighting to stay awake.
In the middle of the night I sat straight up in bed. I could feel that someone was watching me, but nobody was in the room. My heart was racing and Stosh was snoring next to me, like nothing had happened. I got up and walked over to the window. That’s when I saw her.
Scientists have proven that twins have some kind of sensing mechanism. They’ve claimed that in some instances, we can communicate with each other through our minds. She was outside of the pool house, gathering some items and loaded them into a car. I knew she had no way of seeing me. The lights were out and I was peeking through a curtain that was floor to ceiling in length.
Still, she looked right up at the window and I swear I could see her smile. I backed away from the window, like I’d been caught.
A couple minutes after the car pulled away, I got back in bed still totally freaked out. Stosh claimed we would be able to stay there and raise our child. There was no way I was going to do that with my sister anywhere near me. That evil witch wasn’t getting near my baby.
Chapter 23
Hit the road Jack.
It took me a long time to fall asleep. I sat in the bed thinking about Ivy taunting us with her antics. I wondered if I’d be looking behind my back for my entire life. The one thing I was sure of was that I just wanted to be as far away from her as physically possible.
When I woke up, Stosh was already out of bed. I could hear him in the bathroom and saw him walking out without any clothes on. I wasn’t sure what turned me on more; knowing what we’d done in the tub, or what we could be doing right at that moment.
He climbed onto the bed and leaned over to kiss me. I could taste the toothpaste on his lips. “Good morning, beautiful. Are you up for breakfast with my parents?”
My eyes must have seemed like they were going to pop out of my head. “What? No!”
He laughed and nodded. “Yes! You need to get up. My mom wants us there in a half hour.”
I took a pillow and put it over my face, so I could scream in it. “This can’t be happening. They’re going to hate me, just like my parents. Can’t we just stay here, in bed?”
He pulled the pillow away from my face. “As much as I would love to be naked in bed with you, we have other, more important things to do. Besides, I know you’re tired of dealing with all of this. This gets us one step closer to being able to be accepted. You said you trusted me last night. I need you to trust me right now.”
“I do trust you. I just don’t trust anyone else. They’re going to hate me. I’m a home wrecker.”
“You are not! They will love you because I love you.”
I finally stopped fighting to keep the pillow between us. “Fine, since you’re so sweet, I will get up and get ready. When they ask me to leave, I hope
they are at least polite. I don’t want your mother chasing me out of there with a frying pan.”
I walked into the bathroom, so he talked louder. “I love how your imagination works, Will. I’m pretty sure my mom has never even considered chasing someone down with a frying pan. I think you watched too many cartoons as a small child. Perhaps we should prevent our child from turning out like their mother.”
I had his toothbrush in my mouth when I peeked my head out the door. “Shut up! I learned a lot from Scooby Doo.”
“Like how to be stoned?”
“No, smartass! I learned about solving mysteries and being good friends. I also learned what foods I would never mix together to make a sandwich.”
We could joke around all we wanted, but the fact was that Stosh was throwing me right into the lion’s den. I wasn’t sure I could handle more rejection.
As reluctant as I was, I still got myself ready and agreed to give it a chance. Stosh seemed so certain that I wondered if he’d already told them everything. I wanted to ask, but it didn’t matter. They were going to hate me if they wanted to.
When we pulled up at his parent’s house, it was just like old times. We’d studied in his basement and watched movies in the room off the kitchen. I remember his parents being away and us cranking the music up as loud as it would go. We kept the pizza joint in business that year.
We were sitting in the car outside of his parent’s house. He reached over and ran his hand up my thigh. “I have a good feeling about this.”
“I’m glad you do. I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
He climbed out of the driver’s seat and I just sat there. After a few minutes, he shook his head and came over to my side of the vehicle. I pushed the lock down so he couldn’t open the door. “Willow, come on.”
I shook my head. “Let’s just go home.”
“No!” He looked so serious. “Open the damn door. You’re being ridiculous.”
“I am not!” I gritted my teeth. “You’re still married to my sister. I’m being reasonable.”
There was no way around the weirdness. Nothing could ever change the fact that they were married. Even after time, I’d still be the other sister. It made me feel like shit.
He pressed his head against the window. “I want you to do this for me. If you feel uncomfortable, I promise we can leave. I just need you to try.”
I opened the door and got out. “Couldn’t this at least wait until things get better? I don’t want to be the other woman.”
“You’re not!” He corrected. “You’re THE woman. You always have been; even when we weren’t together.”
I hated when he said the sweetest things when I wanted to be mad at him. It made it hard to hold a grudge.
He didn’t knock on his parent’s front door before he opened it and walked right in. I followed behind him like I’d never been in the house before. For the most part every room looked the same. There were new elements that had been added, but not much.
Stosh grabbed my hand and pulled me into the kitchen, where we could hear the clattering of pots.
His mother looked up and smiled. She pointed right at me. “You, come here, right this minute!”
I turned around and looked at Stosh before walking in her direction. From the look on her face, I was sure she was going to smack me. With fast reflexes, she grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. “Willow, I am so sorry for what has been going on. Charles and I have heard all about it from Stoshua. It pains me to say this, but I never did trust your sister. She’s never made him truly happy.”
I kept my arms around her, feeling like her support was giving me strength. “Thank you.”
“I knew my son was hot for you back in high school. It never made sense how he ended up with Ivy. She wasn’t his type what so ever. Then when all of this stuff started happening, I had to question my son. Things just weren’t adding up. After he was arrested, he sat us down and explained everything. I’m very sorry for believing her, Willow. I do hope that someday you can forgive me for that.”
I started sobbing. “I already do. You don’t know how much this means to me.” I pulled away and wiped my eyes. “I trusted her and all this time she’s been living her life with a goal to destroy me. I love your son. I always have.”
“Please dry your tears. It’s going to be alright, child.”
I shook my head. “Everything that I’ve ever known about my sister has been a lie. I loved her as much as I loved myself and she never cared about me at all. She’d rather see me dead than happy. In fact, she’d do just about anything to see me miserable.”
Emotions were pouring out of me at this point. I couldn’t control them. So much pent up anxiety had caused me to lose it finally.
“Yesterday, when we got the call that Stoshua needed our help, you can imagine how we wanted answers. Once we brought him home, he told us all about your sister. Forgive me for being blunt with you, Willow, but you’ve really been dragged in the muck for long enough. I’m not one to use profanity, but that little bitch has messed with the wrong family. We had no idea about any of this. I never would have accepted her into my family, otherwise.”
Even though a weight was being lifted off of me, it still didn’t change the mess that my sister had managed to make of my life. We’d forever be judged for our relationship. Still, I wrapped my arms around the woman. “Thank you for saying that. It’s been difficult to take in, so I can understand how confusing it all must be. Had I known back then, things would have ended up differently.”
“And your parents are not angry with her over this?”
I pulled away and looked down at the floor. “They think I’m the bad guy in all of this. In fact, they think I pretended to be my sister to seduce Stosh. She told them lies about me, and about him. Now we’re just trying to figure out a way to be together without her finding out about the bab…” I realized what I said and just froze.
She was looking from me to Stosh. “You’re pregnant?”
“I…”
Stosh stepped between us. “We’re having a baby, Mom.”
She put her hands over her mouth and just kept looking at us. Stosh looked at me and winked, but I was scared that everything the woman had told me was going to be retracted. “I’m going to be a grandmother?”
He began to laugh. “Yes, you are. I wanted to tell you yesterday. We just can’t let Ivy find out about it.”
His mom seemed alarmed by his comment. “Why?”
This time, I didn’t care about keeping my feelings bottled in. “Ivy didn’t just set me and Stosh up to get caught. She found out she couldn’t get pregnant. I guess it also occurred to her that she’d never have Stosh’s heart, so she did her research and found out when I’d be ovulating.”
I saw that she was lost. “Come again? What are you saying?”
“We’re twins, so my baby would be the closest t
hing she’d ever get to having one of her own. She wanted to steal my baby.”
She looked at her son. “You knew about this?”
He held his hands up. “Yeah, I did.”
“How could you?” She slapped her son right in the face. “You were raised better!”
He didn’t back away from her. “Mom, I can explain.”
“You better start!”
Stosh spent the next hour telling his mother the details that he’d left out before. Even I could tell how disappointed she was in him, even if his intentions were out of desperation.
When it was all said and done she turned her attention back to me. “Willow, I am awfully happy about being a grandmother, but I wouldn’t blame you for being angry with my son. I don’t approve of his actions.”
“He wasn’t the only one who lied. I told him I aborted the baby. I had gone back to town and just wanted to forget what had happened. Regrettably, I did make the appointment, but the idea of giving up a baby was just too much for me to handle. Besides, I think in my heart, I just wanted to have a part of your son, even if he didn’t want that with me.”
“So you were never going to tell him?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know.”
She shook her head. “This is like something I read in my novels. I didn’t think this kind of stuff happened in real life.”
“Apparently, it does.”
She pointed at both of us. “So, where do you stand now?”
He put his arm around me. “We’re together; where we should have been all along.”
“And Ivy?”
“We don’t know where she is.” I announced.
“So you could be in danger?”
