Single Dad's Surrogate *Chapter Twenty-two*
Lily lay on her bed in her shorts and tank top, unable to get the butterflies out of her stomach. She understood the thoughts in her head, but she was having trouble coming to terms with them. I want another baby. I want it to be Wyatt’s. Every moment that went by, her desire got a little more intense. She could feel the pressure between her legs increasing, crying out for release. She resisted the urge to masturbate, even though she knew it’d be a long, restless night if she didn’t. She didn’t want Maggie or Wyatt to accidentally hear her. A knock came at the door just after eight o’clock. “Come in,” she said, glad she wasn’t midway through the act already. Wyatt poked his head in. “Hey there,” he said. “Hey,” Lily replied. “Maggie fell asleep on the couch watching TV with me, so I put her to bed,” he said. “Perfect.” “I’m going to head into the office before you girls wake up, so I’m going to bed early myself,” he said. Lily frowned and sat up, facing him. She dragged the

Wyatt Wyatt sat in front of the desk at his office. He was plowing through some financial documents that needed reviewing. It was a job that would normally have taken a few days, but he had every intention of getting it done in just a few hours. He'd made the promise to Maggie and Lily that they could go to the Renaissance Fair that afternoon and he wasn't about to back out of it. The Fair was all that Maggie now talked about since last night. She'd even gone upstairs that evening and pulled out her pirate costume. She laid it out on the bed, making sure that she had all of the accessories to go with it. Lily helped her, too, by locating an eye patch and some gold-colored costume jewelry. This should be great, he thought, taking another sip of coffee to help energize him through the morning. An entire afternoon with Maggie and Lily. It's just what I need. Maybe it will help me to relax a little bit. A knock came on his office door and he glanced up to see a silhouette standing on

Wyatt Wyatt parked his Lamborghini in the garage and headed inside his house. It was just a quarter past noon. He’d worked his butt off to get everything done that he needed to and he had somehow pulled it off. They still had most of the day left to enjoy the nice weather at the fair. “I'm home!” he called out down the hallway, but there was no reply. He stepped into the kitchen and peered around, but nobody was there. The smell of hot dogs and macaroni filled the air. He recognized it, because it was Maggie's favorite lunch. He assumed that she must have talked Lily into making it for her. “Anybody home?” he said, continuing his search. Wyatt made his way past the living room, but didn't see either of the girls. Oh well, he thought. I'm sure they're around. Maybe Lily took Maggie to the park again or something. He went upstairs and to his bedroom to get out of his suit and tie. He dug through his closet, finding a nice pair of white shorts and a light blue polo shirt. It wasn'

Lily Lily turned around in the passenger seat, bringing her attention toward the back of the SUV. Maggie was there in her car seat, her eyes as wide as her smile. Well, the one eye that Lily could see anyway. The other one was covered up by her pirate's eye patch. “We're almost there, Maggie. Just a few more minutes,” Lily said. “Are you excited to see the fair?” “ARRRR!” Maggie's response made both Wyatt and Lily chuckle. “I'm ready, too.” Lily turned back around in the seat, admiring the scenery out of the front window. The festival was held about fifty miles from town. It was in a rural area, a place where most people would probably never go if it wasn't for the fair. Now, though, there was endless traffic as guests practically clamored over each other to get in. Wyatt drove the SUV down the dirt road until they got to the very end, where it ran into two giant parking lots overflowing with cars. “Looks like we weren't the only ones with this idea,” he said. After driving ar

Lily Lily took a seat on the opposite side of the picnic table from Wyatt. Maggie crawled up next to her, her blue eyes widening as she looked at the array of fair food that was spread in front of them. As always, Wyatt had gone all out. He’d ordered one of just about everything. They had turkey legs, funnel cakes, some sausages, a few giant pickles and of course, cotton candy. It looked like a Disney World food court had exploded onto the table. “Quite a feast,” Lily said. “Not even sure where to start.” “I think I'll try the cotton candy,” Wyatt said. “Maggie, what would you like?” “Funnel cake! Funnel cake!” she chanted, jumping up and down on the seat next to Lily. “She takes after me,” he said, chuckling. “She always wants dessert first.” Lily pulled the funnel cake toward Maggie and then helped her to break off some manageable pieces. “Thanks for taking us out here,” Lily said. “This has been a lot of fun.” “You're very welcome.” Wyatt swallowed a mouthful of cotton can

Wyatt When Friday rolled around, Wyatt found himself unable to concentrate at work. His mind was whirling and anxiety tingled in his chest. He got up from his chair and paced back and forth. He was so restless that he couldn't sit down. Why is this bothering me so much? He thought. I knew that Lily would have to go home at some point. Why am I so upset by it? With only a few days left before Lily was to return home, Wyatt was a wreck. He'd spent the previous week watching her interact with his daughter and feeling such joy. Lily was such a good nanny. The perfect nanny, really. She'd taught Maggie how to tread water and had made her smile more times in one week than he had seen in the whole year since Caroline had died. To be honest, he'd smiled more this week too. Maybe I ask her to stay for a while longer, he thought. Maybe I can see if Mildred wants another week off of work. He knew that wasn't the answer, though. Not only because Mildred likely wouldn't want any more time of

Lily It had to be perfect. Lily wasn't going to allow this meal to be messed up in anyway. Not this time. She'd already screwed up three dinners and wouldn't allow herself to do the same to another. Especially since this would be the last dinner she'd get to make for Wyatt and Maggie. One more chance to do it right. One more opportunity to show them that she wasn't a complete imbecile in the kitchen. Maggie was busy downstairs, playing with her Lego set. Since she was occupied, Lily had the free time to take on dinner preparations. It was nearly two in the afternoon, which gave her plenty of time to get things right before Wyatt got home from work. Lily opened the pantry and stood in front of it. She gazed up and down the shelves, like an artist trying to choose the perfect color for a painting. Let's see, what are we working with here? She thought. Her eyes scanned the rice and the potatoes, then went upward toward the canned food and boxes of pasta. “Hmm,” she whispered. “Noth

Lily Lily handed Maggie a plate. “Can you put this one at the end of the table?” she asked Maggie. Maggie marched the plate over to the far side of the dining room table and set it down. “This one is for Daddy,” she said. “Did you set out the silverware?” Lily asked. She nodded affirmatively. “Yep.” “Good,” Lily replied. “Thanks for helping me out with this, Maggie. I couldn't have done it without you. Your dad should be home any minute and we can have dinner as soon as he gets here.” God, I hope everything turns out okay this time, she thought. It should, though. I spent over an hour researching how to cook the perfect steak. Lily was pretty sure she had nailed it, too. She had seared the steaks in the frying pan, just long enough so that they had a nice, brown crust on the outside. The pad of butter on top had just finished melting. They smelled absolutely amazing, too. For the first time since she'd started working there, she felt fairly confident in the meal. The sides h
