DAVID
Holding Megan in my arms has never been better. Knowing that she is ready to marry me and be mine for the rest of our lives is just the best feeling I have ever had in my life. I finally managed to get her to move out of that apartment and into my house. It felt like we were official. Like she wasn’t going to kick me out of her life at any minute.
Justin stepped down mostly in our company about a week ago so that he can open his own accounting firm. It’s something that he wanted to do to prove to all of us that he is just as good as me. I always thought that he was, but I understand that this is something that he is going to need to work through on his own. He is still the CFO, but Megan takes care of most of his duties and sends him detailed reports so that he can be responsible to the board.
Things are going great and I want them to get even better. “Megan, honey, when do you want to get this show on the road?”
She looks up at me confused. “What are you talking about? Are we going somewhere?”
I laugh. “No, not that. I want to get married. Then I want to start having kids. I want everything with you.”
She giggles. “Oh, well, I do too. But don’t you think we should wait a little. With Justin stepping down, I’ll be needed more at work. Taking time off for the kids, well that seems like a lot and we would have to probably call Justin back.”
I nod because she is right. “I know, maybe not the best timing, but Soon. We can do what Justin did and hire people to partner with us. Someone that we can delegate work to so we can handle stuff with the kids. There are both of us. Plus you know we can handle work from home sometimes. It is doable.”
“I know other families do it, but I don’t want to be one of those parents that are too busy to spend time with their kids. I want to be able to do their activities and be present for their silly plays and stuff. You know.” She looks so adorable talking about our future kids like this.
I pull her tighter. “We will be. I promise. My dad managed, I am sure we can too.”
She laughs. “Your mom already told me to get ready to have six kids. Because it’s like something with your family. I am not sure I can do that.”
“We can do anything. Plus, I want to have as many kids with you as possible. So I think six is a good number.” I grin down at her.
She looks up at me shocked. “Are you out of your mind? Maybe you should carry them.”
I’m about to respond when my phone starts ringing. I pull it off the nightstand because I am sure it has to be family at this hour.
Justin’s name flashes across the screen. I quickly answer because there has to be a reason why he is calling me now. “Hello.”
“David. I need you to come get me.” He sounds drunk as fuck.
“Where are you?”
“I’m at Luke’s.” He’s obviously at the bar, not the apartment that Luke keeps upstairs. Because then he wouldn’t need to call me.
“What the hell happened?” Megan looks up at me concerned. In just this short amount of time they have become her brothers too.
“I fucked up. I am a fuck up. You all thought I sucked. Well, I do. I fucked up so bad.” He doesn’t make a whole hell of a lot of sense right now.
“Look, just hang tight and I will be there. Don’t do anything stupid.”
“Aren’t you listening? I already did. He looks just like me.” Yeah, that made no damn sense.
“I’m on my way.” I click the end button. I look down at Megan. “Justin is drunk. He isn’t making any sense. I’m going to have to get him home.
She nods. “Let me know what happens when you get home.”
“I will honey.” I kiss her lips and head to pick up my idiot brother who has done something that he deems stupid. I guess I’ll find out when I get there.
A/N: Next time we will be looking at Justin’s story. You will still see David and Megan, but you will be introduced to new characters.
