Some women wait their entire lives to become mothers. I didn’t. I wasn’t sure I wanted kids. I wasn’t opposed, but I wasn’t obsessed either, preferring to concentrate on my career, and on my friends, and on my travel, and then on my smoking-hot neighbor/boyfriend/fiancé/husband. Those were the things I really stressed out about, you know? Like, if was meant to be, then it was meant to be.

And then I was pregnant. And oh my God, it was instant. I. Wanted. Kids. So it was meant to be, right? But then I wasn’t, so was that meant to be? You could turn yourself inside out trying to figure this out. But in the end, once I had accepted that this was really happening and I just gave over to it?

I couldn’t wait to be a mother.

And once I pulled off the Band-aid about telling people, I told everyone! And I read every book. And I watched every video. And time flew by. We took Lamaze, we practiced the drive to the hospital with ten different routes, we packed and unpacked my hospital bag over and over again, and we spent every night working our way through the Big Book of Baby Names.

And there is nothing sexier in the world than watching Simon Parker’s hand on your belly, watching it rise and fall, wedding ring glinting in the light from the fireplace, in the home he built with me, for us, for all of us, while Bing Crosby sings “White Christmas” on the record player.

Except maybe when he pushes into you from behind, low and slow and careful, red rose petals showered across the bed you made babies in, a bottle of sparkling cider on ice in the kitchen because we just couldn’t wait to have Valentine’s Day sex.

Except maybe when he makes you choose between another Cadbury Crème Egg and another orgasm, which you know and he knows and you both know the other one knows that there really is no choice because he’s going to give you both, because for fuck’s sake, who ever says no to a pregnant woman, especially when he’s got you wild and writhing and naked from the waist down on the countertop, while he kneels on the kitchen floor, his mouth moaning and groaning right into the center of his world, swirling his tongue and making you beg and cry and kick and scream, with your head in an upended Easter basket and a fistful of Peeps.

But the sexiest is when he gives you a push present early, on Mother’s Day, when he gives you the keys to a brand new, dark green Range Rover with a row of three car seats already installed in the tan leather backseat, and this time, there’s no question about whether you take the fucking car this man is giving you. You take the fucking car.

And then you really celebrate Mother’s Day by letting him steal you away into the headlands, and you go down on the man
