last update Last Updated: 2025-10-03 23:07:04

After regaling Becky with stories of mine and Raj’s childhood while I did her hair, I took her back into the other room to say goodbye to Naomi, who gave her a hug before making grumpy noises while I pecked her lips, making me want to scrunch up my face in agitation. She had been extra grumpy in the mornings with me lately, and I couldn’t stop the pang of worry that hit me at her attitude. I shook my head to push the conversation I had with Natalie the night before out of my head. I wasn’t going to let myself think about that. I took Becky’s hand, and led her out of the room and into the kitchen, where I immediately drew up short when I saw that Natalie was inside, bent over a trash can. Oh, this was fucking great! What in the hell was she doing in here? I had already told her that when Becky was at the house, she was not to be in the public areas. She looked up at me guiltily as she straightened up.

“Daddy Rip, who is that?” Becky asked innocently, making me sigh.

I picked her up, se

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Who's the Suspect?

    Two Weeks LaterNaomiI groaned as I shut the computer for the last time for the semester. I was happy that even with my pregnancy, I still passed all my classes with flying colors. The kids still had another week of school, which meant one thing. I was going to get to sleep as much as I wanted during the day. I had even managed to talk Rip into taking the kids to school, and Caroline would be picking them up. I was so excited to get to do whatever I wanted to do. I could relax in a bath, spend hours floating in the pool, and even walk around the house stark naked if I wanted to.“No! I’m off! I’m not doing anything else!” I grumbled when Phoebe sat down next to me.She laughed softly as she raised an eyebrow at me. “You don’t even know why I came over here.”“I know you came over here because you want something. That’s all I need to know,” I told her.She chuckled again as she stood up next to me. “I wanted to know what you would be doing in August?”I narrowed my eyes on her as the

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   An Errand Gone Wrong

    Simon- One Week laterI took Alex’s hand as we began to walk back to my house from the dollar store half a mile away. Mom had convinced Rip and Naomi to let us go get snacks for movie night. I was just happy that Mr. Hernandez had agreed to let Alex stay to watch a few with us. I was glad that her father hadn’t forced us to break up. He had even apologized to me for hitting me. It had surprised me as much as it had meant the world to me.While we hadn’t let her father stop us from being intimate, we just made sure to do it at my house, where we knew that no one would walk in on us. Rip had made sure that I had a box of condoms in my room, and Alex’s parents had gotten her on birth control. I knew that none of them liked that we were making love, but that didn’t stop them all from pretending like we weren’t. I think the only one who was okay with the fact that we were was Naomi.Whenever I had a question about something, especially regarding ways to please Alex, she would answer them.

    Rip-2 days laterI was just wrapping up a meeting with Jon when there was a commotion outside my office door. I immediately jumped to my feet to race out of the room when I heard Simon’s fear-filled voice.“Mr. Hernandez, you’re hurting me. Please, let me go.”Jon grabbed my arm as I went to swing on Niles, stopping my fist from connecting with the side of his face. ”LET MY SON GO!”“FINE! YOU DEAL WITH HIM, BECAUSE IF I EVER CATCH HIM HAVING SEX WITH MY DAUGHTER AGAIN, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE!” he hollered.My head whipped around so that I was staring at Simon. “Is this true?”“Dad, it’s not what you think. We didn’t mean for it to happen. And Alex…” He glanced at Niles before clearing his throat. “I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”Niles threw his hands up in frustration. “I swear to God, boy, if she gets pregnant, I’m arresting you!”Simon immediately ducked his head. “Yes, sir.”Niles narrowed his eyes at me. “I don’t want him even speaking to Alexis again!”I crossed m

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Sharing Her Joy

    Naomi-a month laterI was walking out of my last class of the day with Phoebe by my side, chatting happily about my pregnancy. I was sure that she was even more excited about my and Rip’s child than I was, which didn’t surprise me at all. She had known him for decades and had watched him suffer through losing multiple children that he cared about. I knew that she was happy that I was with Rip now. It was clear that I was hopelessly in love with him, and I was. He was a big part of my everything. Suddenly, I stopped walking and looked down at my stomach in shock as it fluttered. Phoebe immediately stopped beside me and reached out to grip my arm.“Are you okay, Naomi?” she asked worriedly.“I…ummm…my stomach is fluttering…”“Fluttering? Do you feel sick?” she inquired.“No. It’s…weird. It feels like I have butterflies,” I answered.“Butterflies?” she repeated before giving me a soft smile. “May I?”I nodded, and she gently placed her hand on my stomach, moving it around before letting

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Rip's Proud Moment

    RipFriday evening, I gave Simon a reassuring smile as he paced nervously in front of the door, waiting for Alexis and her father to arrive for their date. Once Alexis asked if it would be okay if her father came on their date, Simon had been even more anxious over it. I was proud of him for not questioning her request. It told me everything that I needed to know. I had every confidence that he would respect her. If he could understand that Alexis would feel more comfortable with one of her parents attending their date, then he was really maturing into a good, upstanding man.He jumped when the doorbell went off, glancing at me for the briefest second before dashing over to the foyer table to grab the roses that he had purchased with his own money. He rolled his shoulders back as he walked over to the door, pulling it open at the same moment he held the flowers up.“Alex, I bought you–sir,” he finished, and I could hear the heartbreak in his voice.I straightened up as a strange man w

    Simon-One Week LaterI bounced into Rip’s office after school, excited to tell him what happened earlier that day.“Good afternoon, Simon! How was school?” he asked without even looking up.“Dad, guess what?” I responded excitedly.“Ummm, let me guess. Did Alexis eat lunch with you again?” he inquired as he finally looked up at me.“No! Even better!” I told him. “Guess?”“She gave you a $1,000,000?”“Better!” I laughed.“What’s better than the girl of your dreams having $1,000,000?”“Dad, you know I don’t care about money! I took a chance today and asked her out!” I practically screamed.“And? What did she say?” he asked.“She said yes! She said that she would give me one chance! I can’t mess this up, Dad! I like her so much!” I said as I threw myself down into the chair in front of his desk, suddenly losing all of my excitement. “What if I do it wrong? What if after one date, she goes back to hating me?”“Listen to me, son, all you have to do is treat her with respect and show her ho
