Chapter 15 - Tyler

The phone call never came. We were a little bummed, but I had only been in the minors for a few months. The Coyotes ended up using their back up catcher. They traded some players and got a catcher from a different team not long after.

Molly and I had a long, tearful goodbye before she left to drive back to Riverbend. We did have a good laugh as she said this was probably going to be her last time being able to drive to one of my games until after the babies were born. Her baby belly was getting so big that she could barely touch the pedals anymore with her short legs. I raised the steering wheel as much as it would go to give her a little more room, but I didn’t think she’d be able to drive much longer. I was more bummed about not getting to spend time with her than I was about not getting called up, but I understood and just wanted the babies to be healthy.

During the next few weeks, the Lightning were in first place in our division, and the team was doing awesome. One big thing that changed was Hunter’s roommate decided to give up on baseball and went back home. I talked to the coaches and was able to move in with him. We were much happier living together.

Molly continued to work with the contractors to design our perfect home. She decided on keeping Batter Up! the same downstairs. Why change what had been working? She decided on a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout for the upstairs and kept the kitchen similar to what had been there. She wanted a bigger master bathroom with a garden bathtub and a bigger shower with a special detachable shower head.

The babies were both going to be in one bedroom with a baseball theme.

The third bedroom would be a guest room/office. Molly said she hated having to go downstairs to do the books for the bakery, so this way, she would be able do that upstairs as well. It made a lot more sense for her to have the babies with her in the office.

She did surprise me by making the fourth bedroom a workout room for me. She said when I was home, she wanted me as close as possible. Molly also said once she had these babies, she wanted to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight as soon as possible. She found a used treadmill, stationary bike, and a weight rack that were currently in the storage unit we rented.

To make all the upgrades and add-ons more affordable, the Raptors, Pen, and Emma said they would help paint and do as many cosmetic things as possible to lower the costs. I wished I could be there to help, but she said to keep playing my best. Molly hated to do it, but she had to take out a loan to pay the difference in all the upgrades that the insurance didn’t pay for.

Dominic and Molly got a letter from the DNA lab saying they shared 55% of the same DNA. We were all confused, but the letter went on to further explain that sibling DNA testing was not as conclusive as paternity testing, and it relies on both statistics and probability. Full biological siblings share 50% of the same genes. I was video chatting with Molly when they got the results that they were full siblings and wished I could be there for her. She and Dominic hugged and cried together.

Molly was craving pizza, so Dominic took her out to eat at the Pizza Corner and spent some time together, just the two of them. I knew she had me and her friends, but I was glad to know there was a brother close by and available to help her, if needed. They may have just found each other, but you could already see how Dominic was as protective of Molly as he was of Emma.

Emma moved to Riverbend about a week after Dom and Molly got the news about being biological siblings. She found a studio apartment in the same complex that Penelope lived in, and she continued to work with Stefan to design her daycare. Emma had found a daycare that was closing not too far away and was able to get a lot of supplies for her daycare at a great price. The guys had helped her rent a truck and hauled everything for her. She now had cots, child-sized tables and chairs, toys, cribs, play equipment, books, games, and other items she would need, and everything was being stored in our storage unit.

Emma was very excited when she found out that Shiloh already had her CDA (child development associate certificate) and hired her to be a full-time teacher. She also hired two high school girls to help with the daycare. Jordyn Reeves was actually the Raptor”s hitting coach, Mark Reeve’s daughter and loved helping with children. Her best friend, McKenna Foster, planned to go to college in a year to become a teacher and this was the perfect job for her. She would see if she would have to hire more employees later, based on demand.

Mack had decided to take the rest of the season off to spend time with Nico. Coach Snyder was going to be the interim head coach, and they hired someone to replace Snyder as the pitching coach.

Adam McAlister was working on adjusting to his and Nico’s new reality without Ashleigh and helping Nico to learn to communicate. He texted me a lot to let me know how things were going. Nico was at a school for the deaf in Cincinnati and learning quickly. Mack was taking adult sign language classes and trying to learn as much as he could. He told me he hoped to coach the Raptors again next year but had to find a nanny in order for that to happen. I was worried he would end up staying in Cincinnati and not return to the Raptors.

Penelope and Molly had lots of orders coming in for custom desserts and were kept busy. Molly did promise she was staying off her feet as much as possible. She also decided to use some of her insurance housing money to “rent” the family room from Penelope and Shiloh and lived with them. Penelope used the rent money to buy the ingredients needed for their custom bakery orders and to put towards buying stuff for Batter Up!. Molly loved spending time with them but couldn’t wait to have her own space again.

I missed my wife like crazy. We talked on the phone, video chatted, and texted as much as we could, but it wasn’t the same. I wasn’t sure when I would be able to see her next, but it had been a long five weeks without holding her or touching her.

“Hey! Great game today!” my wife said with a huge grin on her face as soon as I answered the video call request.

“Thanks! I felt good! Johnson pitched a great game.”

“Be sure to tell Hunter that his diving catch was amazing! If he were playing for the Coyotes, it would have been on SNC’s top plays for sure!”

“I will tell him. He’s got a nasty grass burn from the landing, but he wears it proudly,” I said with a chuckle. “How was the baby shower today? I’m bummed I had to miss it.”

“Oh, hush! Guys are never at showers. Oh my gosh, Ty, our babies are going to be so spoiled!”

“Don’t tell me guys aren’t at showers, baby. I got selfies from Cooper, Hayden, Dom, and Ivan eating cake and playing baby games.”

“I was trying to make you feel better. Most guys don’t come to showers. Your friends are a different breed.”

“They’re your friends, too,” I said with a laugh. “They had a night game and were able to come. They heard about free cake, and that’s all they needed to know.”

“Cooper actually won the ‘guess the size of Molly’s belly’ competition. He, of course, gave his prize to Peyton.”

“Of course, he did. What was the prize?”

“A manicure set with nail polish, lotion, and other things like that. Cooper did promise to let her paint his toenails blue.” I laughed out loud, but that didn’t surprise me at all.

“What did the guys get you as gifts?”

“They and some of your other teammates all went in together and got us two boxes of diapers in every size, from newborn to size 5. It was an awesome gift that we will definitely use! They also got us two little Raptor jerseys with your number 7 on them. They said it doesn’t even matter that you’re not a Raptor anymore. I cried, of course.”

“I’m so glad they did that. We have some pretty fucking amazing friends.”

“Yes we do! Oh! Guess what? Batter Up! and our apartment has drywall now! Stefan and I went over paint colors and wallpaper. It’s really looking like a bakery and house. He says it”s still on track to be done by the time the babies come. As long as they don’t come early.”

“Next time you go there, do a video call. I want to see how it looks,” I said. “And tell those children of ours that they better not come too early because I want to be there when they are born. The off-season is the perfect time for them to be born.”

My wife smiled and said she hoped they stayed in as long as possible.

“So, what were some of the best gifts you got?”

“Julia and Rob got the diaper bag I wanted. It has baseball stitching on it. Your mom got me the pregnancy body pillow I have been drooling over. I am going to sleep well tonight.”

“I’m glad she got that for you. She asked what you really needed, and that’s what I told her.”

“Thank you! I love it so much! Of course, we got a lot of gender-neutral and baseball clothing, baby toys, baby accessories, and gift cards.”

“Very nice!” I said. “How about your girls? I’m sure they went above and beyond.”

“Meadow and Pen definitely did! They got me a baby gift and a mommy gift,” my wife said, and I had to raise my eyebrows at the blush that crossed her freckled face. Interesting.

“What is a mommy gift?” I asked with a tilt to my head.

“Well, before I tell you about that, they got the double stroller I loved. It has cup holders along with sun shield canopies and tons of storage. But it has the feature I love the most. The seats are side by side so the babies will be able to see each other!”

“That sounds great. I really want to know about this mommy gift, though.”

“Well, they just gave it to me after they helped me take the gifts to the storage unit. I am glad that Dom, Ivan, and Cooper were there to help me move everything from my car. We got so much stuff! We are ready for the babies. Now, we just need a home to put everything in.”

“Molly…. I’m glad my guys helped you and that you got a lot of stuff, but stop stalling. What is a mommy gift? Your face goes all red every time it’s mentioned.”

Molly took a deep breath and then asked me if I was alone. At my nod, she held up a box that read: “The Tulip: A woman’s adult vibrator for clitoral pleasure.”

I’m not sure what I expected, but that was not it. I was knocked off my feet, literally. I sat down on the bed and palmed my aching cock. It had been 5 long weeks since I saw my girl, and our last time together had been in the dugout. The thought of her having a toy to use brought a smile to my face. Tonight, I could pretend she was with me.

“Want to try out that flower tonight? You can pretend it’s me, and I’m there with you.”

“Are you… are you wanting to have phone sex?”

“Baby, I’d much rather have the real you, but this is the next best thing. I can’t believe we haven’t tried this earlier,” I said with a smirk into the phone camera. “Now, the real question is are you alone?”

“I am. Pen took the kids to Peyton’s gymnastics class, and Meadow and Emma went with them. I do love how they all get along. I think Shiloh is studying with a friend. It just sucks that my room is out in the open.”

“I can’t wait for our apartment to be done,” I said with a groan. “Is that flower thing waterproof?”

“Hmmm, let me see,” Molly said as she looked at the box. “Oh! It is!”

“Pen has a bathtub, right?”

“Yes, she does. I’ve used it every night. It seems to be the only back relief I get,” Molly replied. “Are you going to take a bath, too?”

“No, I’ll just stay on the bed. Hunter is hanging out with some of the guys playing pool, but I’m not sure exactly when he’ll be home. I might text him to give me a heads up before he heads back.”

“That’s a good idea,” Molly said as I saw her walking into the bathroom. “I’m nervous, Ty. How do we do this?”

“Believe it or not, this will be my first time having phone sex, too. We can do it however we want.”

“Ok,” she said, still nervous, but I knew my girl. She was always timid and unsure at first when trying new things, but once she got going, she always surprised me. “I’m running the water lobster hot.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything less,” I said with a smile and got up to shut my bedroom door. I had sent Montgomery a text to let me know when he was heading back. I didn’t want him walking in on Molly’s and my private time.

I watched as she took off her clothes and put them in the laundry basket in the corner of the room. Her breasts were even bigger now, and I just wanted to bury my face in between them. Her stomach had practically doubled in size since the last time I saw her, and I didn’t know how it could get any bigger in the next two months.

“Whatever you do, please, don’t look at my stretch marks,” she said as she tried to hide her stomach with her hands. I had to chuckle because her hands hardly covered any of it. “I can’t believe you’re laughing. The stretch marks aren’t funny!”

“Molly, you’re beautiful. If you have stretch marks, it”s because you’re growing our babies. I don’t care about that. I’m just laughing that you think your little, tiny hands could cover that growing belly. I know we’re not finding out the sexes, but I’m guessing two boys with how big you are.”

“That’s what a lot of people at the baby shower today guessed, too.”

“What do you think?” I asked her.

“I think they are two growing babies, and I have no idea how I’m going to make more room for them in the next 7 to 8 weeks,” Molly said with a groan. “My doctor says a woman’s body will be able to expand to accommodate her babies.”

“Well, no matter what, you’re beautiful.” I took off my own shirt and pulled down my pants and boxers in one motion. I climbed on the bed and looked at my beautiful wife on the phone. I stroked my cock as she climbed into the bathtub.

“Oh, it’s hot,” Molly said, and I placed the phone on my bedside table and angled it so she could see all of me on the bed. “It feels so good.”

“See, baby, just keep saying stuff like that. You’re a natural when it comes to phone sex.”

“Oh my gosh! Stop!” she said with a giggle. “I don’t know where to put the phone so I can see you, and you can see me.”

I asked her to turn the camera to face the other direction so I could see the bathroom layout. I had never actually been in Penelope’s bathroom before. “Can you lay it on the sink and angle it down? Use a shampoo bottle or something for your phone to lean against.”

“You’re so smart,” my wife said, and I saw her tilting the camera, but all I could see was the blue of the shampoo bottle.

“Molly, love, turn the camera back to you.”

The camera changed, and I had the perfect view of her luscious tits at the water level. Her belly covered up her perfect pussy, but I could imagine it. I saw my girl biting her lip.

“You’re going to pretend that I’m behind you, and you’re in my lap, like we’ve done many times before.”

“Ok,” she said and closed her eyes. “I wish you were really here because this bathtub is cold against my back. I know you’d be warm.”

“Where’s your toy at?” She held it up and pressed the on button. “Damn, that’s quiet. I can’t even hear it.”

“That’s one of the big positives of it,” she said as she brought the toy over her belly and between her legs.

“Pretend that it’s my fingers seeking your clit.”

Molly nodded and brought the toy to her center. She kept biting her lip and moving it around. “It’s not doing anything for me.”

“Keep moving it around, baby. I wish I was there because I could put it over your nub right away. The toy’s suction is probably pretty low.”

“Ok,” she said and kept moving it around. “My damn stomach is in the way, so I can’t see anything.”

“Just relax,” I said softly. “Move it around slowly and test out the different speeds. You’ll find it.”

I stroked myself and watched her face as she did what I suggested. She let out a gasp as she found a good spot, and it began to pleasure her.

“Oh, fuck, yeah. Good girl! I knew you’d find it,” I said and stroked my cock even harder. “Keep making those noises. How does it feel?”

“It feels…. Ooohhh…. Damn…. The suction, Ty…. it feels like your mouth is on me. I can close my eyes and practically picture you down there. You’re not behind me but between my legs. Oh, god. That. Is. The. Spot. Right. There.”

I licked my lips and could practically taste her on my tongue. “I love how you taste. It’s me down there, Molly. Not a damn toy.”

“And it’s my lips around your cock, instead of your hand,” she said as she let out another moan. My wife was not a selfish lover and always thought about me as much as I thought about her.

“Oh, yes, baby. You feel so good. I love you so much.”

“I love you, Tyler,” Molly said as she leaned her head back against the porcelain of the bathtub. She let out a long moan as she let the suction of the toy work its magic. I had never been more jealous of a battery operated toy than I was at that moment. I closed my eyes and pretended her lips were around my cock and just felt the sensations and listened to her soft moans.

“Tyler!” she cried out. “I’m close. Oh, god, Tyler!”

“Let go, baby. Come all over my lips!” I cried out as I pumped harder and faster. I knew I was close and wanted to come with my wife. I heard her cry out my name, and that was all I needed.

“Fuck, Molly! I. Need. You!” I cried out as I came all over my stomach.

Molly started to giggle and looked over at the camera. “Damn. That was fun. I liked that.”

I shook my head and laughed. “We’ll definitely have to repeat that.”

“I mean, it’s not as good as you really being here, but I really felt like it was you. Is that crazy?”

“Not at all because I felt the same way.”

I grabbed my shirt to clean off as much as I could and then wiped off my hands. My phone dinged with a text message. I looked at the text that covered Molly’s face on the screen.

Hunter: Bro, I’m on my way home. If you have a girl in there and are cheating on Molly, I’m going to kick your stupid ass.

I read the text out loud to Molly, and she laughed. “I knew I liked him! If he only knew what we just did.”
