Epilogue:
Maryvale, Texas
Summer 2010
Jared sat sprawled in a chair in his backyard, his suit jacket hanging haphazardly on the back of it behind him. All of his friends and family were there celebrating with him and Jensen. He still couldn’t really believe that just a few hours earlier he’d gotten married to Jensen. They were married. And Jensen was his husband. Jared couldn’t wipe the grin from his face at that thought even if he’d wanted to.
His eyes roamed over the crowd easily spotting Jensen in the mix of people, talking with Adrianne. He couldn’t remember ever seeing his husband look more attractive than he did in that moment. Jensen too had lost his suit jacket somewhere in the yard and he’d pushed the shirt sleeves of his dress shirt up passed his elbows. And his short hair which he normally liked to style lay flat against his forehead. That look alone normally would’ve had Jared’s heart racing. But adding it to the knowledge that Jensen was pregnant and Jared could see the vibrancy in his husband’s every movement.
Laughter pierced the night air and Jared’s gaze shifted to his daughter and her girlfriend. He watched in amusement as Aly twirled Ashley in the grass. The girls had both lost their shoes ages ago and were dancing along to Chris’s music acting as if they didn’t he would suddenly decide to stop, even though both he and his band had promised to play for another full hour. The next song was a slow one and Aly immediately pulled Ashley close, burying her face in her girlfriend’s hair as they swayed back and forth.
Jared looked up as Chad came to sit beside him.
“Hey, man. So I was thinking when you and Jensen get back from the honeymoon you should double with me and Adrianne,” he said, his eyes resting on his girlfriend who was still talking animatedly with Jensen.
“You know if you break her heart Jensen doesn’t need my permission to break your face,” Jared said pointedly.
Chad chuckled, shaking his head. “From what I hear Adrianne can take care of herself. Wasn’t she the one that hit you when she thought all you were gonna do was break Jensen’s heart again?”
“Well, yeah. But can you blame her? I was a total dick in high school,” Jared replied.
“We all acted like that, Jay. Don’t go beating yourself up for a past you can’t fix. Especially since your present is treating you so damn good lately. But who’s to say Adrianne won’t break my heart, huh? Will you let me cry on your shoulder?” Chad asked.
“Sure, man. But I’m not holding you,” Jared insisted.
“Fair enough. So where are you and Jen going for the next week?”
“There’s this motel in San Antonio that we have a shared history with. But aside from that I don’t know. Jensen’s the planner in the family. I’m sure he’s got an idea or two,” Jared said, a faint smile on his face at the memory of his and Jensen’s time spent in that motel room in San Antonio.
“Awesome. I just wanted to let you know that I don’t think I’ve seen you happier. Congratulations, Jared. On everything,” Chad said. “Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go dance with my girl,” he continued, clapping Jared on the back as he stood up.
Jared smiled after his best friend, silently watching as Chad smoothly led Adrianne away from Jensen. His tongue darted out of his mouth, wetting his lips as Jensen immediately sought him out. Getting to his feet he walked toward Jensen, effortlessly pulling his husband into his arms.
“Hey, I was just gonna come find you,” Jensen said.
“Beat you to it,” Jared replied softly.
“Yeah, you did, huh? In so many ways,” Jensen agreed.
“Nah. I like to think we found each other, Jen,” Jared said seriously, his hands running over Jensen’s upper arms.
“I can live with that,” Jensen murmured, a warm smile on his face.
“So, I came over here to ask my husband if he’d like to dance with me,” Jared whispered huskily, his eyes and belly flaring with lust.
“Go ahead and ask,” Jensen challenged, his own features a mixture of love and desire. He felt his skin tingle at Jared’s quiet utterance of that one word. Husband. Apparently he’d just discovered something else that turned him on. He’d have to remind Jared of that later.
“Will you dance with me, Jensen?” Jared finally asked. “You and our baby?” His hand moved to Jensen’s stomach. Jensen nodded, clearing his throat as tears welled in his eyes.
“Damn hormones,” he muttered before meeting Jared’s gaze. “What I mean is, yes Jared. We’d love to dance with you.”
“Good,” Jared murmured, his mouth brushing Jensen’s lips briefly. Taking a hold of his husband’s hand in his own, Jared put an arm on Jensen’s shoulder and they proceeded to dance to the music filling the air around them.
They were madly in love and Jared wanted to tell the whole damn world, but he was content in sharing his happiness with their friends and family because he really didn’t need anything else. Not when he had Jensen in his arms.
