Madison – A year and a half later

I swear to God, looking at Alex holding Anastasia out on the rink having just won his game makes me pool in my seat. The other hockey wives and girlfriends are smiling on as Alex holds her in his arms and the crowd is going wild. Not just because the team have won their home game but because our little girl is gurgling away in his arms.

It's hard to believe that Stasia is now ten months old. She's been an absolute joy to our lives and watching Alex with his baby girl is the cutest thing ever. If anyone had of told me what two years or so ago, when I stood on his doorstep for the first time that I'd be in a VIP area watching him holding a baby in his arms and our baby, I'd have laughed in their face.

She's wearing cute white tights with pink hearts on them, a tulle pink skirt and a faux fur jacket in cream with a sweet band around her head to match her tights. She is loving the attention; he lowers his head to kiss the top of her head and she looks up at her daddy. Oh my, I place my hand to my heart.

"She's so adorable," April says who is sitting next to me and I can only nod. I smile at her with love for my bestie in my eyes, her baby bump is pretty big now and in just two months April will be having a little girl too. What could be more exciting than our babies being good friends as they grow up? Since there is hardly any age gap, we're hoping it'll be fine as they grow older. I am so happy for April and Julien, they finally started living together when they found out she was pregnant, and he is the best man for April.

He can put up with her skittish behavior when she's not in full work mode and has no issues with her manic drive and obsession for work. The woman works harder than anyone I know, even me and that is saying something. She rubs her bump, "the baby is kicking," she says. I place my hand on hers and grin like a crazy person.

"You must be so proud of Alex, Madi winning the game for the team like that and being such a hands-on daddy." She is absolutely right, that man makes me feel like I am the luckiest woman and the only woman alive. The way he takes care of me, spoils me with love, affection and as much time as he can give me around a hectic schedule and travel is incredible. My heart is full and brims over on a daily basis. Thankfully, there have been no issues whatsoever.

I forgot to mention, the guy that was responsible for car accident is back out and has reached out publicly to apologize. He went on the local news channel and gave a statement about how he has got his shit together and won't ever be touching alcohol again and that he is desperately sorry for the hurt and upset he caused our families. I hope he sticks to it, since it was a narrow miss. We've all learnt from that experience.

For me mostly, not to take life for granted, to worship and be grateful for every second of every day because honestly, nobody knows when it will be their last breath. We don't have a guarantee in life other than we are born and we will pass when God decides it's our time.

Alex skates with Anastacia to the barrier and gives her a big kiss on the cheek and allows a couple of the fans sitting closer to the glass to place their hands on it, I watch as my baby girl does the same. Yeah, that one is definitely a child of Alex Stone. She loves the attention, the fans, the stadium and everyone who meets my baby girl simply adores her. And of course she has her daddy wrapped right around her little finger.

We tour sometimes with Alex; Ruben gave me the partnership and Alex and I went out and celebrated whilst my folks watched over Anastacia. It was an amazing night in Luciano's a new exclusive Italian restaurant, we had the whole place to ourselves, I didn't realize of course that Alex hired the entire venue.

It was romantic, we had a violin player throughout dinner, blush roses on the table and candlelight. A dedicated waiter close by and the finest champagne you could buy. He is a man of dreams, Alex Stone. The only man I will ever walk by the side of until the moment I die. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this man and the utter contentment I have when I am with him or simply thinking about him.

Being a mother is the greatest gift imaginable, holding my baby girl for the first time was breathtaking, hearing her cries took a hold of me from the very second I felt her against my chest. Alex cried and swore to protect his girls forever. I believe him, I know he'll always be there for us.

He skates off the ice with people chanting his name and Anastacia's, it's adorable how much they love their local player. It didn't take long for Austin to make Alex one of their brothers, his teammates are like family, and we often have dinner parties and hang out nights with them and their respective other halves. It's a beautiful life and having my folks close by, is the best.

Alex's parents are buying a property not too far away and will be moving to Austin in the Fall so we can all have a huge Thanksgiving together. He kept his place in Aspen where we go for a break and love to hang out and go skiing. It won't be long before he has our daughter on the slopes, he's already teasing about her being a girl's hockey player. I am not so sure I want her to be on the ice, I fear for her getting hurt. But she definitely has her daddy's personality, she's stubborn, fierce and knows how to get exactly what she wants with her big blue eyes, the mirror of her daddy's and his cute ass nose.

"Come on let's go down and meet them when they come through. You still feel up to coming out for dinner with us?" I ask April as I put my coat on now that it is a bit cooler in the evenings.

"Sure I am. I'm always hungry," she chuckles.

"I know that feeling." I smile at her and give April a big hug. "Will Julien be home tomorrow? You can stay at ours if you want, we can have a girl's night with some corny Hallmark movie?"

"You kidding me, that man will want to take you to bed and lose you forever, no way am I staying over." She laughs. Okay she may have a point; Alex and I still have hot sex and at every opportunity. The best is when he's been on tour then comes back home, or like today when he's won a game. His hormones seem to be heightened and he can never wait to slide his hands up my inner thighs to my core. Shit, just thinking about it makes me clench my legs together. April gives me that shit-eating grin.

"Exactly why I am not staying over with you two. I want some sleep tonight, not hear my bestie banging her head on the headboard." I swat her gently on the arm.

We meet Alex downstairs after about thirty minutes, he has deferred on press and comes through with my little girl in his arms bouncing her up and down, stops and pretends like she is an aeroplane. Her giggles fill the large, space where we wait for her in the VIP lounge area. Some of the other women coo at her.

"Look who is that? Is that mommy?" I am a puddle on the ground right now. It never ceases to amaze me seeing his big build with my tiny bundle of love and joy.

He comes towards us; Anastacia holds her chubby arms out and clenches and unclenches her little fists trying to get to me. "Hey, baby did you enjoy being on the ice with your daddy?" She moves her head, personally I think my little girl is way ahead of herself and knows exactly what I'm saying.

"You played well Mr Stone," I say as he bends his head down and presses those soft lips of his on mine, then slaps my ass playfully.

"Can't wait to get you in the bed later," he wiggles his eyebrows.

"Er hum, I am still standing here," April says and slaps him on the arm.

"Hey April, looking good, I bet ya ready for that baby to be born." He obviously remembers me moaning and groaning that I just want the baby to be born towards the end. Hey, I'm not the only woman who was excited, nervous as hell and fed up with being so big right at the end.

We all head for Alex's car where the driver waits for us, fans crowd round, but he is quick to ask they respect his privacy at this moment and moves them away as he shields Anastacia, April and myself. They are as good as gold and oblige.

"I promise y'all some autographs and selfies another time, right now this man has got to go feed his family." They tell him how much they love him and chant his name as we leave the rink.

"Come here woman and strip for me," he lays himself on the bed completely naked except his boxer shorts. Dinner was wonderful and then we dropped April off at her place. Anastacia was an angel in her carrier and slept through it. Probably all the excitement of being at a game. Her daddy changed her into her sleepwear and read her a story. I love those moments the most, when I watch him from the door as he holds her to his chest in the rocking chair and reads to her, then puts her down in the crib.

I start to slowly peel my jumper up and over my head then do a twirl, bend forward and wiggle my hips. "Damn, woman you are so fucking hot." I can hear the need in his voice. I chuckle, I love how I can still make this man come undone, after a baby and my body not being as perfect as it once was. He tells me that he loves every single stretch mark on me, they are the signs of bringing a gift into the world and making him the happiest man alive. I love Alex Stone so fucking much, I can physically feel it.

Slowly I tease down my pants exposing my ass and a red thong, I wiggle them again. "Get that over here and ride me like a cowgirl."

I don't need to be told twice, I strip the thong off and saunter over to him, he takes me in a like a long drink of lemonade, making my pulse quicken as I see the huge bulge in his boxer shorts. Has he gotten bigger? Or am I always totally in awe of his large cock? Okay, I am in awe of his entire body not just his cock. He's been working out so hard in the gym lately and his abs have got abs on abs, his pecs are solid, and I love to run my fingers all the way down his body to the light trail of hair that runs from his navel to his cock. Alex Stone is a very sexy man.

After the third orgasm, I lay snuggled up into his arms, we smell of faint sweat and sex as I catch my breath. "You had enough Mrs Stone?"

"For now, Mr Stone." I love our Mr and Mrs talk; I am the proudest woman alive to be married to Alex Stone. "I've got something to tell you," I say as he kisses the top of my head, idly brushing my exposed breast the other one squished against him. The soft touch is like harmony to my body, as he caresses me sending that need again between my legs.

"Let me guess, you're going to renovate the house again?"

"Nope."

"Erm, you want another horse?"

"Nope."

"You want to give up work and be full time for our baby girl?"

"Nope." I giggle, this man would give me the world if he could, and Lord knows he tries to. I have to rein him in and then some.

"Let me give you a clue, Mr Stone. Peanut butter ice cream and pretzels." He stops caressing my breast and looks down at me, the love in his eyes sweeps over me like a soft blanket draped over your skin on a fall day. My heart swells, I reach up and touch his strong jaw.

"Seriously?" He must know because there is only one reason I'd ever eat something as awful as peanut butter ice cream and pretzels.

"Petal, are you telling me? Baby, are we having another baby?"

I nod, smiling up at him. "Two." I say and giggle, his eyes open so wide.

"Two, like twins, two?"

I nod, amused by how shocked he is but in a good way. And to show me he crushes his lips on mine and kisses me taking my breath away, our tongues exploring each other over again. His hand comes down to my stomach, the warmth, the tenderness brings tears of joy to my eyes.

"Madi, baby I love you so damn fucking much."

"I can't wait to see you with twins, I kinda hope they'll be boys," I say. "That way they can play hockey together and maybe take the world by storm just like their daddy."

"Have I told you that I love you more than anything in the world, you and Anastacia both. You girls are my entire life, my entire now, and future. I'd do anything for you both to keep you safe and warm, and loved. I cherish you; Madison I truly do."

"I know Alex, and I you. We're going to fill this house up with lots of babies, watch them grow, help them be good people, and let them find their way in life to do what it is that makes them happy."

"You are my everything, Madison Lane. My absolute everything."
