Chapter 269: The Baby Is Coming 1

What did marriage actually mean to Damon?

It meant peace of mind. It meant having the legal right to claim her as his.

It meant seeing her whenever he wanted, kissing her whenever he felt like it, and waking up next to her every single morning. It meant that when they fought or when things got rough, she couldn’t just walk out on him. He would always have a chance to fix it. He would always have a way back to her.

When you found the right person, falling hard wasn’t a bad thing. It just made life a whole lot sweeter.

The moment he got home and saw Aubrey, his brain would flood with dopamine. It was an addictive rush, a level of happiness that most people could only dream of.

Cold, calculating people who spent their lives using others or chasing empty flings would never understand this. They would never feel the kind of joy he felt right now.

When he was in bed with her, it wasn’t just about the physical release. The emotional satisfaction hit him a hundred times harder than simple lust.

And when he kissed her, her scent was so intoxicating that no flower on earth could even come close.

Holding her was the ultimate cure. It wiped away the exhaustion of a long day and soothed his soul after every setback.

It wasn’t just that he loved Aubrey or was willing to give her the world. It was that he needed her. He couldn’t live without her. That was why his love was so intense, so completely out of his control.

́If it wasn’t for Aubrey, maybe he would’ve liked some other woman, gotten married, and had kids. But finding someone you’re physically

drawn to on a primal level? That’s harder than hitting the Powerball jackpot.

He was lucky. He was God’s favorite, truly.

After they officially signed the papers, no one came to bother them.

They spent a weekend wrapped in heat and longing. The furthest they made it from the bedroom was the living room just to grab a bite.

They didn’t even want to step out the front door. They stayed glued together.

They soaked in the most intense intimacy. When they got tired, they read, watched movies, talked, or just basked in the sun.

But mostly, they talked.

It felt like they had endless things to say to each other.

Sometimes, while he was talking, Aubrey would drift off in his arms. That exhausted look of hers–it was exactly how she’d been during her pregnancy. She’d just crash.

Aubrey was like his personal sedative.

As long as she was asleep in his arms, the drowsiness would hit him too. He’d fall into a deep, heavy sleep instantly. But the moment she stirred, his internal radar would trip, and he’d wake right up with her.

“Wife,” Damon whispered, pulling her closer.

“Mm?” Aubrey mumbled, half–asleep and barely conscious.

He watched her as she slept, her face soft and beautiful. A wave of happiness hit him, and he couldn’t help leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her cheek. He didn’t want to wake her, so he just pulled her close and fell asleep with her in his arms.

Meanwhile, the family group chat was already blowing up.

They had dropped the photo of their marriage license into the chat and then just went ghost.

Grandpa: “Finally married! I’m so happy. I wish Damon and Aubrey a lifetime of love. Grow old together and stay happy.”

Mom: “It’s official! I’m so happy for you both. May your lives always be sweet, and may you walk through life hand in hand. We’ll always be a family. Mom loves you!”

Dad: “Congrats. Support each other and stay together through thick and thin.”

Olivia: “Congrats, Damon and Aubrey! Wishing you peace, joy, and a lifetime of happiness.”

Zach: “Congrats, Damon and Aubrey! Wishing you peace, joy, and a lifetime of happiness.”

Tracy: “First of all, a huge congrats to Damon and Aubrey! Happy wedding day! But seriously, Zach… did you really just copy and paste your wife’s message?”

Zach: “Is there a problem with that?”

Tracy: “Yes. It’s low effort.”

Zach: “Olivia doesn’t mind, so your opinion is officially ignored.”

Tracy: “Olivia, you really don’t have an issue with this?”

Olivia: “None at all.”

Tracy: “”

After sending the emojis, Tracy went quiet.

When Aubrey woke up and saw the flood of messages in the group, her heart swelled with happiness. She immediately typed out a reply.

Aubrey: “Thank you, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Zach, Olivia, and Tracy. Thank you all so much for the blessings.”

Damon: “Thank you, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Zach, Olivia, and Tracy, and Tracy. Thank you all so much for the blessings.”

Tracy: “Okay, Damon is even lazier. He literally just copy–pasted her message.”

Damon: “Aubrey doesn’t mind, so your opinion is officially ignored.”

Tracy: “Damon, you can’t just copy Zach. Keep this up and I’m ignoring you.”

Damon: ” Thanks for the mercy.”

Tracy: “”

Holding that marriage certificate brought a profound sense of belonging.

Before this, no matter how many times Damon told the world she was his wife, she’d always struggled with a sense of unworthiness. She had been restless, never quite feeling secure or grounded.

But now, she had shed the “girlfriend” label for good.

She was closing the door on the past. She was officially a member of the Blackwood family now–Damon’s wife.

In a woman’s life, if domestic bliss isn’t in the cards, then chasing a career and financial independence is a worthy pursuit. But for Aubrey, she finally had the one thing she had craved most: a home.

She felt a wave of peace. She had everything she could ever want–a loving family, a thriving career, and plenty of money in the bank. The only thing left to wait for was the safe arrival of her baby.

Things had changed since her uncle and Aunt Hannah got their divorce. He had retired and moved into The Retreat, choosing a life of quiet isolation.

Life was a lot more peaceful without them around. But just as Grandpa had warned, Evan was petty, violent, and consumed by greed. He was jealous, resentful, and had a disgusting wandering eye.

He had spent half his life as the golden boy of the Blackwood family. Being stripped of his status so suddenly was a pill he would never swallow.

Between that and Grandpa’s obvious favoritism, his hatred for Damon went way back. He was driven by pure spite. He wasn’t going to let this

1. go.

Aubrey stayed on high alert. To keep the baby safe, she hadn’t told a soul about the pregnancy yet.

She kept her head down and stuck to her routine–going to work and coming home every night to be with her husband.
