I
shoved
him.
“Stop
it!”
The
doorbell
rang
and
Stosh
grabbed
our
daughter
off
the
counter.
“Grandma’s
here!”
He
whisked
her
away
while
I
was
still
getting
on
some
shorts.
By
the
time
I
was
decent,
they
were
all
ready
to
head
out
the
door.
We
kissed
them
and
waved
as
they
got
her
situated
in
her
car
seat.
Once
Stosh
closed
the
door,
I
could
tell
he
was
in
one
of
his
moods.
He
rubbed
his
hands
together.
“I
hate
what
you’re
wearing.”
He
grabbed
me
by
the
hand
and
pulled
me
back
to
our
bedroom.
Once
inside,
he
started
taking
off
my
clothes.
“What
are
you
doing?”
“It’s
been
two
days.
I
have
needs.”
He
dropped
his
shorts
and
stood
there
at
full
attention.
I
smiled
and
reached
up
to
kiss
him,
but
he
pulled
away
and
pointed
toward
the
bed.
“You’re
bossy!”
He
smacked
my
ass
and
followed
me
to
the
bed.
“I’m
horny!”
I
climbed
up
and
turned
around,
just
as
he
was
climbing
on
top
of
me.
I
kissed
him
softly
on
the
lips,
letting
my
tongue
make
contact
with
his,
before
pulling
away.
“Hi,
Horny,
I’m
Pregnant.”
Our
kissing
halted
as
I
watched
the
biggest
smile
come
over
Stosh’s
face.
He
pushed
the
hair
away
from
my
forehead
and
kissed
me
on
my
nose.
“Seriously?”
I
shrugged
and
smiled.
“We
were
trying.”
“We
just
started,
though.
I
must
have
genetically
altered
super
sperm.”
I
wrapped
my
legs
around
his
back.
“Shut
up
and
tell
me
how
happy
you
are.”
He
grabbed
my
legs,
sat
up
and
put
them
on
each
of
his
shoulders,
before
slowly
entering
me
with
his
length.
I
gasped
at
first,
shocked
he
did
it
without
warning.
He
scrunched
up
his
face
and
got
a
good
pace
going.
“You
know
I’m
happy.”
My
one
leg
started
to
fall.
“Hold
your
feet
with
your
hands.
I’m
going
to
show
you
just
how
happy
I
am.”
This
wasn’t
my
idea
of
expressing
happiness,
but
it
sure
felt
good.
Even,
after
all
the
time
that
had
gone
by,
I
think
Stosh
still
appreciated
what
he
could
do
when
he
used
his
lower
body.
Not
having
it,
makes
people
appreciate
what
they
do
have.
Our
bodies
moved
in
unison,
like
they
always
did.
He
kissed
me
deeply,
letting
me
know
I
belonged
to
him
in
body
and
mind.
My
hands
caressed
every
muscle
on
his
chest,
which
was
more
defined
then
when
we
were
first
together.
After
his
physical
therapy
ended,
he
continued
to
work
out
at
the
gym.
He
thought
if
he
didn’t
use
it,
he
would
lose
it.
I
ran
my
fingers
down
his
biceps
and
admired
our
daughters
name
written
in
script.
She
was
his
world
and
I
couldn’t
wait
to
share
our
news
with
her.
He
thrust
himself
harder
and
harder,
slapping
our
skin
together
each
time.
He
played
with
my
breasts,
pinching
my
nipples
and
rubbing
them
with
the
palms
of
his
course
hands.
He
loved
watching
it
go
in
and
out
of
me
and
I
loved
watching
him
doing
it.
I
arched
my
body,
feeling
the
intense
friction
making
me
hot
in
all
the
right
places.
My
breath
increased
and
he
slammed
into
me
one
last
time
before
tightening
up
his
body.
We
both
cried
out,
climaxing
together,
then
collapsing
on
the
bed,
drenched
in
our
own
sweat.
He
grabbed
my
hand,
while
I
was
still
trying
to
breathe
normally,
and
kissed
it
slowly.
“Thanks,
babe.
I
needed
that.”
I
wiped
the
sweat
off
of
one
of
his
cheeks.
“Me
too!
Are
you
ready
to
get
dressed
and
get
this
over
with?”
He
sprung
off
of
the
bed
and
started
pulling
up
his
shorts.
I
followed
suit
and
was
soon
heading
back
into
the
bathroom
to
freshen
up
enough
to
be
presentable.
Twenty
minutes
later,
we
were
on
the
road,
headed
to
the
women’s
prison,
where
my
sister
was
being
held.
My
palms
were
sweaty
and
I
didn’t
say
much
during
the
car
ride.
Stosh
knew
I
was
freaking
out.
He
also
knew
it
was
best
to
let
me
handle
it
on
my
own.
I
was
a
loose
cannon
when
it
came
to
dealing
with
anxiety.
After
going
through
the
necessary
security
measures,
we
were
sitting
at
the
long
table
waiting
for
her
to
be
brought
in.
Stosh
reached
for
my
hand
under
the
table
and
winked
when
he
saw
I
was
secretly
freaking
out.
I
knew
he
was
there
for
me,
but
it
didn’t
make
it
easier.
The
animosity
that
I
felt
towards
my
sister
couldn’t
be
cured
with
apologies.
If
I
was
ever
going
to
forgive
her,
it
would
be
after
I
took
a
long
time
for
my
heart
to
heal.
I
hadn’t
seen
her
in
so
long
that
I
was
shocked
when
she
came
walking
through
the
door.
My
eyes
must
have
explained
my
reaction,
because
she
looked
down
like
I’d
broken
her
heart.
Honestly,
I
didn’t
know
how
to
feel.
I
wanted
to
hate
her.
I
did
hate
her,
but
at
the
same
time,
she
was
still
my
sister.
Ivy
sat
down
in
front
of
us.
She
folded
her
hands
and
smiled
at
Stosh
and
then
gave
me
all
of
her
attention.
“Hi,
sis.”
I
squeezed
Stosh’s
hand
under
the
table.
“Hello,
Ivy.”
She
fidgeted
in
her
seat.
“Thanks
for
coming.
I
didn’t
think
it
was
going
to
happen.”
I
looked
right
into
her
eyes.
“What
do
you
want,
Ivy?”
I
caught
her
looking
at
my
wedding
rings
and
then
Stosh’s.
She
turned
her
attention
to
him.
“It’s
weird
seeing
you
with
that
on.
I
used
to
have
to
fight
with
you
to
get
you
to
wear
it.”
I
cocked
my
eyebrow.
“He
never
takes
it
off.
Now,
explain
why
we’re
here,
because
we
have
a
daughter
to
take
care
of.”
She
looked
like
she
was
in
pain.
“You
only
have
her
because
of
what
I
did.
Can’t
you
appreciate
that
something
good
came
out
of
it?”
I
stood
up,
letting
go
of
my
husband’s
hand.
“Don’t
you
dare
say
that!
Whether
or
not
you
planned
for
things
to
happen,
she
was
made
out
of
love.
Stosh
made
love
to
me
on
that
boat
and
you
know
it.”
I
grabbed
him
by
the
arm
and
started
to
pull
him
away
from
the
table.
“Wait!
Please!”
she
shook
her
head
and
covered
her
face
with
her
hands.
“I’m
sorry.
Please
don’t
go.
It’s
so
lonely
here.
All
I
do
is
read
and
sit
by
myself.
Nobody
wants
to
be
friends
in
here,
and
the
ones
that
do,
are
too
crazy
to
communicate
with.
Don’t
you
miss
the
way
things
used
to
be?
Don’t
you
miss
how
it
was
when
we
were
kids?”
I
sat
back
down,
but
kept
my
legs
on
the
outside
of
the
table,
so
it
was
easier
to
get
up
and
walk
away.
Stosh
stood
behind
me,
with
his
hands
on
my
shoulders.
“I
do
miss
it,
but
everything
changed
when
you
started
deceiving
me.”
She
looked
at
both
of
us.
“Look
at
you
two
now,
though.
You’re
together.
Will
we
ever
be
able
to
get
past
all
of
this?”
I
closed
my
eyes.
“I
don’t
know,
Ivy.
Too
much
has
happened.
You
tried
to
kill
us.
No
matter
how
much
I
miss
the
old
you,
I
can
never
trust
the
one
that’s
looking
at
me,
right
now.
Trust
is
earned
and
all
you’ve
done
is
stab
me
in
the
back.”
I
looked
up
at
Stosh.
“We’re
happy,
Ivy,
but
we
would
have
been
happy,
had
you
not
kept
us
apart
in
high
school.
You
seem
to
be
forgetting
that
this
wasn’t
just
about
what
landed
you
in
jail.
For
years,
you’d
been
planning
to
destroy
my
life.
Yes,
it
worked
out
in
the
end,
but
that
also
includes
you
being
locked
up.”
She
started
to
cry.
“I
won’t
be
in
here
forever.
Do
you
think
one
day
I’ll
get
to
meet
my
niece.”
I
felt
nauseous.
“I
don’t
think
that’s
possible,”
Stosh
spoke
up.
“I
don’t
want
you
near
my
kids
or
my
wife.
If
we
have
to
leave
the
country,
we
will.”
She
just
sat
there,
like
we’d
shattered
her
soul.
I
stood
up
and
reached
over,
grabbing
her
hand.
“I
hope
you
get
better,
Ivy.
I
wish
things
were
different.
You
could
have
been
an
amazing
aunt.
We
could
have
grown
old
together.
This
isn’t
how
I
would
of
wanted
to
say
goodbye
to
you.”
When
we
walked
out
of
there,
she
was
crying.
I
held
my
head
high,
until
we
got
to
the
car
and
then
I
lost
it.
Stosh
held
me
and
kissed
me
on
top
of
my
head,
but
never
said
anything.
He
knew
I
had
to
get
it
all
out.
