Hey guys, guess who's back with a sequel to... *drum rolls* You Hurt Me! Yep it's me! Now I know everyone's been waiting for this story for a while now (over a year actually). So this is probably long overdo, I know everyone wants to see what's gonna happen in this story. Since I left everybody hanging in the last chapter of You Hurt Me. And in the preview of this story as well. I know you guys have a lot of questions about who's going after Benny, Ethan and their kids. Who's Benny talking to in the preview, and what's the letter about, that makes Benny drop it in complete shock. But for now (at least the first few chapters) it's going to be about their life as parents and a married couple. Baby stuff, family fluff/stuff and whatnot.
Gabe: And we're backkkkkkkkk! With a new story/sequel! And it's about the story "You Hurt Me"! Now, we get to see what lies ahead for Benny, Ethan, Belle, Ethan Jr. And their unborn baby! Who's gender we all know about. *gets smacked on the head by Bethan* Ouch!
Brandon: Damn it, Gabe don't go talking about the gender of the baby! That's supposed to be a surprise for her fans! She's gonna reveal the gender in a few chapters! But she has gonna have some type of poll for the fans, I think she's gonna announce at the end of this chapter or in one of the other chapters. I don't know yet... we'll know when we get there.
Erica: So from what Bethan tells me, is that my boyfriend and I are only going to be mentioned until later in the story? Why's that?
Me: I can't really tell you guys because I don't want to spoil things for the readers and I want one of the boys to explain where you guys disappeared off to after your last appearance in the first story in chapter seventeen, "Forever And Always".
Erica: This kinda sucks. But I can't wait to see where we went to, I hope it's a nice place, where they've great food and nice places to see.
Me: So who wants to do the Disclaimer?! Yes, Brandon, I got it right for once. *looks over to see Brandon grinning happily with himself*. So who wants to do it?
Lacey: I will do it, Bethan. *straightens up in her chair* Bethan Forever doesn't own My Babysitter's a Vampire nor any of it's main/minor characters, but however, Bethan Forever does own, the plot, whatever was changed from the series (will be mentioned in this story... I think it'll be...) and all of her OCs, which are Samantha's boyfriend, Belle, Ethan Jr. The unborn baby, the lovely little old me, and lots of other OCs. And of course, we all know by now if Bethan did own MBAV, Benny and Ethan would have been together before the movie.
MBAV fan66: Yep, that was one of Ethan's co-workers! She's going to be in this story a lot, (not a lot, lot,) just a few appearances here and there. Along with Benny's co-worker as well. Hehe, yeah Benny's pregnant again! And they thank you for your congratulations! Nope, they just can't seem to catch a break from all of the supernatural drama and some other drama too. Yep this one is going to be a doozey of a story. So, I hope you enjoy the first chapter of the sequel!
TeamEthanMorgan: Heheh, of course they're cute, they do take after their parents who are just as adorable and cute as they are! And oh, yes. You can pinch their cheeks and hug them, go right ahead. They won't mind one bit. And you can also hold the baby when she or he's born! So the wait's over for the sequel now! I hope you enjoy! :)
TheMaskedDemon95/ElDemonioMasscaradoLuver1995: Oh, hey! Long time no see! I hope you enjoy this story as much as the last one! :)
And a huge thanks to Starpaw77, who gave me the perfect face-claim for Benny's father! So the face-claim is on my profile, if you wanna see who plays him. And Lucy's face-claim is also on my profile! :) So this chapter takes place a few days after the last chapter in "You Hurt Me". In the first chapter we get to see how Benny's work life is and Ethan staying home with the kids and probably some Bethan romance/family fluff. The first few chapters of this story will be basically about family/marriage/job life. And then second half will be about something from the past trying to rip them apart. So yeah. There's still no face-claim for Zaria, so if you guys have any suggestions for her face-claim, make sure to leave it in a review! And of course, you can find the official soundtrack for "You Hurt Me" on my YouTube account!
And also, you can see that the genre for this story is Romance/Hurt/Comfort instead of Angst/Romance, well there isn't that much Angst in this story as much as the last one, there'll be a little bit of it, so yeah, Romance/Hurt/Comfort. :)
Soooooo without farther ado! Here's the first chapter of "The Not Perfect Life"! Enjoy my lovelies!
Good-Good Lifeeeee. -
~Bethan Forever
Chapter One - Living The Good Life
Benny's Point Of View
I let out a low groan, as my alarm clock blasted Good Life throughout mine and Ethan's quiet master bedroom, I rolled over on my right side and pressed the sleep button on the alarm clock, I yawned quietly while listening to the sound of rain outside my window. This feels like a lazy today, but I can't sit around and be lazy today, because I go back to work today. So with a sigh I sat up in the bed with my hand on my stomach, where my son or daughter lays inside of me. I smiled to myself for a minute before getting up from my warm bed to get my day started up. First, I laid out my clothes for today, then I made the bed (Ethan normally makes the bed whenever I wake up earlier then him,) but then I make the bed whenever he wakes up earlier than me (mostly for work and sometimes some other things too), then I grabbed my Zy-Pod, and headed to the bathroom. I set the shower up, then undressed and before getting into the shower I clicked on one of the songs on my Zy-Pod and got into the shower.
I washed my hair with shampoo and then with I started with the deep conditioning treatment, while Young and Beautiful flowed through the bathroom, I found myself singing along with her as I freshened up. By the time I was finished, the song had ended and another one began to play I turned off the shower and stepped out, I dried my body quickly and turned off my Zy-Pod in the process. I brushed my teeth and then exited the bathroom with my towel around my waist, I knew that Belle and Ethan Jr. were still asleep, or else I'd be hearing the TV going on downstairs, so it was safe for me to walk around in a towel.
After I finished getting dressed, I placed my satchel onto my arm (yes the same satchel, I used to use in high school) which had some very important papers/files in it and I walked to my kids' room, where I opened the door quietly and peeked in on my still sleeping children, little Ethan was letting out quiet/soft snores while Belle let out a few sort loud ones, oh my god. Well they totally also got the snoring from Ethan and I, just like their looks and personalities. I smiled softly before closing the door.
I walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen, where Ethan was at, cooking breakfast. "Hmm, that smells amazing," I breathed in the smell, Ethan turned to me and smiled brightly at me, before cutting off the stove and taking the bacon out of the pan and onto a plate. He came over to me and kissed my lips gently while putting his hand on my back and the other on my stomach, he pulled away and rested his forehead against mine, while rubbing my stomach. Even though I just found out I was pregnant, Ethan was already rubbing on my stomach and talking to the baby.
Ethan leaned down and lifted up my shirt and kissed my bare flat-ish (because it already looked like it was starting to get bigger) stomach, "I already love you, baby girl or boy," he whispered, I giggled, he says these words to the baby every day and night. "And I love you, baby."
"I love you too." He stood back up and we kissed again, before Ethan dropped my shirt and went back over to the stove, where he had two plates filled with eggs, bacon, toast and some pancakes, I put my satchel on the bar and sat down in the chair while Ethan put two pieces of pancakes and four pieces of bacon on my plate and loaded it up with syrup, and placed it in front of me. Ethan handed me a fork and I dug into my breakfast.
"So, whatcha got plan for today?" I asked, with a pancake in my mouth. I really don't think anything about me has changed. Except the fact that I'm a bit more mature and very a proud father now and the fact I don't hide my feelings from anyone anymore.
Ethan chuckled, "Nothing much, gonna get some writing done, play with the kids, give them breakfast, fix them lunch and I'll make dinner tonight if you want me to."
"You don't have to ask me, Ethan, you can make dinner whenever you feel like it," I shrugged, after swallowing a piece of pancake, I had in my mouth.
He grinned and leaned cross the bar and kissed me on the lips (again), I let out a small groan as he pulled on my bottom lip before letting go. I pouted my lips, Ethan just grinned again and told me to finish my breakfast, so I wouldn't be late for work. A few minutes later, I finished with my breakfast and placed the plate into the sink, then turned around only to be pulled into Ethan's arms, I smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll see you and the kids later."
"And we'll see you when you get home," Ethan gave me another kiss before letting go of me, I grabbed my satchel and walked to the front door, where I slipped on my jacket and turned to Ethan and waved, before I quickly ran out the front door and to my car which I quickly got into, and looked up as Ethan closed the front door, than I put my satchel in passenger, I put my car key into the ignition and started up the car and switched it onto the heater to warm up the car. I put the car into drive and backed out of the driveway, and sped off towards town (where my job was at) while driving I flicked through the radio and finally landed on a good station, which was playing a song by Monsters and Men, although I can't ever remember the title of the song. But it was a pretty good song.
About five songs later, I pulled up to the small building that I call my work place. I placed my car into park and got out with my keys in my hand and with my satchel on my shoulder. I walked to the doors and pushed open the doors to my small office building. Where I found Zaria sitting at her desk, writing something down on a note, when she heard the door close, she looked up and smiled at me. "Hi, Benny." She greeted me with a smile.
"Good morning, Zaria," I greeted back and as if on cue my phone in my office began to ring. I sighed and headed to my office, I laid my satchel in the chair and reached for the phone, I put it up to my ear as I tried to sip off my jacket. "Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Morgan, this is Tanya Alexa's mother," Tanya's voice said, I oh-ed silently, and sat down in my chair. Tanya came to me about four months ago, about her daughter Alexa who's been living with her father for about a year (after her parents broke up) and just a few months ago, she had noticed a huge change in her daughter and noticed some bruising and how she flinched every time her father, moved his hand or arm if he was close near her. She had told me that she thought Alexa was being abused, and I told her that she'd need to bring her in, so I could see her. And she did of course, I did get Alexa to open up but only after I said I had been through the same thing she's going through at the moment and she broke down after that, admitting that her father causing the bruises whenever he got drunk or angry with her after she was finished I told her I was going to make sure that she ended up with her mother and I explained that filing for full rights of her daughter was the best thing to do and ever since then she's been fighting it with my help of course.
"Oh, yes. How're you Tanya?" I asked opening up my satchel and brought out my files on the Parker case and two other cases.
"I'm doing fine and so is Alexa, we had the final court date a few days ago, you know, it was to see if he got rights to see her and well, all because of you, Mr. Morgan, we won the case! And now Tyler has to stay away from both Alexa and I," Tanya told me and I could tell there was a huge smile on her face as she told me this.
"Oh my god. Wow, I guess I say you're welcome.. and.." I cut myself off when I heard what sounded like a woman speaking over a microphone saying something about a plane that was now boarding, were they at an airport right now while she was calling me? "Are you at an airport?"
"Err, yes Alexa and I decided that we should get away for a few days, so we're waiting on a plane for New York, that's when I remembered to call you to tell you about what happened, so.." she trailed off, then I heard another voice (a younger voice) saying something and Tanya saying something to her, before she returned her attention to me. "And Alexa wanted me to tell you that she says thank you for all of the hard work, you have done for her -correction- us."
I smiled to myself. "Tell her I said she's welcome and that my door's always open if she wants to talk about her feelings or whatever, she wants to talk about."
"I'll tell her that, Mr. Morgan, and thank you again for all of the hard work. I've to go now, they're boarding our plane right now, so thanks again for the work!" Tanya told me before she hung up. I chuckled and shook my head putting my phone down, just as Zaria walked into my office, holding a piece of paper.
"So who was that?" Zaria asked.
"That was Tanya, she called to tell me that we won the case. And also to say thanks for the hard work," I answered her, she grinned.
"Awesome news, that we help win the case for her. I hope her and Alexa are happy without that abusive ass in the picture," Zaria hoped, I nodded my head in agreement. "Oh, here. It was a message from the school board I was writing down when you came in."
"What did they say?" I took the paper from her as she began to talk.
"Well, they thought over your offer and they decided that it'd be a great idea for you speak on bullying and abuse at Whitechapel High," she says, I smiled happily at hearing this. "They know that these are very serious problems at their school." I snorted, wasn't that true. "And they accepted it, because they didn't want someone who just studied on it, they wanted someone who's been through it. So they accepted it."
"This is awesome, when did they set the date for me to speak on?"
"Sometime within the next two months, they just gotta get an 'okay' from the Principal of Whitechapel High."
A groan escaped my lips. "Ugh, really? My old Principal was like a huge asshole whenever it came to bullying, he just didn't believe it could happen, he just brushed it off whenever someone said they were being bullied. So most likely he's going to not agree to this public speaking."
Zaria leaned across my desk and patted me on the shoulder. "Don't worry, the school board won't let him keep you from speaking to the students on this."
I just smiled at her and sat there for a minute. Deciding that I should tell her the news, 'cause it wasn't right keeping it from her. She has worked for me about a year, she has become a close friend to me and she'd totally know something was up whenever I ran off to the bathroom to puke whenever I smelt or ate something that baby Morgan didn't agree with. I leaned back in my chair and placed my hands on my stomach. "Zaria, I have some very important news to tell you and I hope you take it well.."
She looked over at me with this look on her face and I could see a hint of worry in her eyes. "What is it? You aren't like dying are you? Or quitting this job, or are you and Ethan getting a divorce from each other..?" I listened her ramble about answers, except for the real answer.
"Zar, calm down, I'm not dying nor am I quitting and Ethan and I aren't getting a divorce, you won't ever have to worry about that," I assured her and she let out a breath that she had been holding in. "The news is that... I'm having another baby."
Her eyes widened at hearing this, her mouth fell open as she stared at me. "Wha-t?! When?! When did you find out?! And are you sure?!"
"Yes, I'm totally sure, I've been throwing up at random like I did before. And I found out a little while ago and told Ethan a few days ago, and before you ask, yes. Ethan was really excited about it. And I had to tell you, since you might start getting worried if you heard me throwing up a lot..."
"Okay, a little T.M.I there. But that's great, congratulations! And tell Ethan I said that and now of course I gotta get back to work.." Zaria looked at me, I just nodded my head and let her get back to work, I sighed out as soon as she left the room. I looked at all three of the files that I had worked on while at I was at home, and now I was deciding on which one to open, after a few minutes of thinking, I put the other two files to the side and opened up the Parker file. This file just happened to be the biggest case I've handled so far, I was working with the father for him to get his son away from his wife who has abused their son in more ways then one. And of course at first, I thought this was going to be a quiet case. Well I was way wrong, Mr. Parker's wife hired a big time lawyer, who turned out to be Gwen Arnett daughter of Richard Arnett, and Ethan just so happens to work at their law firm office. So whenever something new turns up in the case, Ethan always tells me. And believe me it helps.
I stared at this file then at the other two files and then finally at the list of people that were coming in today, a sigh escaped my lips. "Man this is going to be a very long day."
- With Ethan & The Kids -
Ethan's Point Of View
I quickly typed out words onto one of my chapters for the book, I was writing while the kids were in the kitchen, eating lunch, I figured I get some more writing done before kids started to attack me with hugs after they were finished eating. And this was one of the many things I loved about being off work. 'Cause I get to spend time with the kids, play with them, cook them breakfast/lunch and get to watch them grow more and more. Seriously, I almost miss all of this stuff with these crazy hours at the office. That's why I'll be glad when I finish my book and find a publisher for it, so I can quit this job. I hate the hours and the job just didn't fit me. The writing and being a stay at home father jobs, seemed to fit me, so I'm going to do both. After a few more minutes of writing, I clicked on the save changes and saved the edits and etc., them clicked off it and I just did it in the nick of time, because I was suddenly attacked by two children, Belle had jumped onto my back and had her arms wrapped around my neck while Ethan Jr. attacked my torso/waist. They were giggling and smiling at me while I chuckled and pulled Belle off my back and held her close and I did the same thing with Ethan Jr. hugging them close to me.
"What're you two doin'?" I asked them, Belle and Ethan Jr. looked up at me with huge smiles on their faces. (oh my god they look so much like Benny and I, I know that Benny and I've already said this, but damn it still amazes me).
"Ethan said to attack you with hugs, Papa," Belle answered, I looked at het than at Ethan Jr. who shook his head.
"No, Belle said to attack you with hugs, Papa." he pointed at her, Belle shook her head in denial. I already knew their blaming game. They would go back and forth until Benny or me would say or do this one thing that made them stop with the blame game. And it looks like I'm gonna have to do it. "Well, if there's no one to blame, you know what that means..."
Belle and Ethan Jr. looked at me with widen eyes. "Not the tickling!"
"Oh yes, the tickling!" I yelled out and started to tickle their sides, making them laugh and move around in my arms. I loved the sound of their happy laughter.
"Stop, Papa, that tickles!" Ethan Jr. giggled out, Belle tried to say the same thing but, she couldn't get it out through her giggles. I continued to tickle them for a few more minutes before I stopped.
"Can we watch a movie now, Papa?" Belle asked, breathing heavily from all of the tickling. Ethan Jr. nodded in agreement with his sister, I sat there for a minute thinking about it before nodding my head.
"Sure, you two can pick out the movie while I go clean the kitchen real quick, okay?"
"Okay, Papa!" they both replied before taking off upstairs to pick out the movie.
I smiled to myself and got up from the couch, I went to the kitchen and cleaned up a little bit, cleaned the dishes of the food they had on them and stuck them into the dishwasher, (getting them ready to be washed tonight) and wiped off the table and counter. When my laptop started to beep from the living room. I raised an eyebrow and walked back to the living room, I got to the living room to see an incoming Skype call from "MissExVampyQueen12" and I only knew one person with that username (and they had changed it to 'ex' after something happened - I'll explain it in a bit -). I sat on the couch and hit the accept button. And Erica's face popped up on the screen.
"Hey, Ethan, long time no talk!" Erica greeted happily.
"Yeah, it's been a very long time since our last talk." I agreed, sometime after Benny and I got married, Erica and Rory went to Paris for collage, to get away from all of the supernatural drama in Whitechapel and to get the jobs they really wanted as well. And also before you ask why I'm able to see Erica on the screen is, sometime after she and Rory arrived in Paris, they found the French Vampire Council that held all of the cures for Vampires and other supernatural creatures. And it took a lot of talking with them before they finally agreed.
"So... how're things in in Whitechapel? How are the kids? And how is yours and Benny's relationship?"
"Whoa, that's a lot of questions, but I'll answer them. The kids are doing great, they're upstairs trying to figure out which movie to watch, things in Whitechapel are slow and stressful, nothing supernatural going on here. And Benny and I's relationship is perfect, Erica. No need to worry."
Erica smiled. "That's good, good. And is there anything else, that I need to know about?"
I bit on my bottom lip, we had agreed on telling the kids together first and then the rest of the family. But we hadn't came to answer about friends yet, but Benny wouldn't mind me telling Erica about the baby without him here. Just like I wouldn't mind him telling his co-worker (Zaria) about the baby without me there. "Well, there's something, Benny's expecting..."
"Expecting...? Expecting what?" Erica asked me confusedly, I stared at her for a few seconds with a look on my face, she's been with Rory for way to long. She stared back at me until her eyes suddenly widened as it hit her. "Oh. My. God. Benny's pregnant!" she squeaked happily.
I shushed her loudly, looking up the stairs and then back at my laptop screen. "Shh! Be quiet, Erica, me and Benny haven't told the kids yet. We're waiting for the right moment to tell them that they're gonna have a little brother or sister."
"Oh, right, sorry." she blushed before clearing her throat. "So when did you two find out?"
"Benny found out first and then a few days ago he told me as like an early birthday gift. We haven't been to the doctor's yet, so we don't know how far along he is." I answered.
She nodded before sighing out, "Man I wish that I was there right now, I'm missing a lot of things."
"You aren't missing that much, besides you've to be in Paris for collage and for future jobs in fashion," I pointed out.
"I know but still, I wish that I could be there."
I opened my mouth to reply when, I heard the sounds of feet running down the stairs and towards the living room, soon after that Belle and Ethan Jr. jumped onto the couch landing right next to me with two DVDs in their hands. "We found two movies to watch Papa," Ethan Jr. tells me as Belle looks at the screen and sees Erica's face (yes they both know who Erica is, because they were always there whenever Erica called us on Skype).
"Hiya, Auntie Erica!" She exclaimed, waving at the screen. Ethan Jr. turned his attention to the screen and smiled at the blonde. "We hope you havin' fun in the French Fries place!" He told her, making Erica chuckle and smile at his cuteness.
"Yes, yes. I am having fun in the French Fries place, little Ethan and Belle."
They both smiled and said. "Good," at the same time. I grinned at them then and ran both of my hands through their hair.
A ding from Erica's cell phone, she brought it up into view and read whatever was on it. And let out a sigh, "Ethan, I'm sorry, but I gotta go, they just send me this text telling me that my class's time had been moved so it starts in a few minutes."
"It's alright, go ahead, you can always call back whenever you're free from studying and whatnot," I suggested to her. She nodded her head, before smiling sadly and blowing a kiss into the camera to the kids.
"Bye, little Ethan and princess Belle, and bye Ethan," Erica waved and the kids waved back. (and also the reason why Belle's nickname is Princess Belle, is because her favorite princess is Belle from Beauty and the Beast, which is also her favorite movie and musical).
"Byeee, auntie Air! We hope to talk again soon with you," Belle and Ethan Jr. grinned, Erica said the same thing and then I hung up the Skype call and the screen went back to my background of my laptop.
"So, what movies did you two decide on?" I questioned afterwards, they held up two movies in front of my face. One movie was; Titanic, (that was the one little Ethan was holding) and the other DVD that Belle was holding was; Star Wars: Return of The Jedi. "These two, huh? Well we can watch Star Wars first and then Titanic later, but after we watch Star Wars, we've got to the store, so we can grab things for dinner tonight."
Ethan Jr. nodded his head. "Alrighty, Papa."
Belle bounced her way over to the TV and pressed the open button on the DVD player and put Star Wars into it and pressed the same button to get it to close. She bounced back over to the couch, she grabbed the remote before she sat back down on the couch. Both of my kids cuddled into my sides with my arms wrapped around them, as the main menu popped up and Belle hit the play button, a few seconds later. The opening credits with the Star Wars theme song began to sound out throughout the living room.
I said it before, and I will say it again, I love my life.
- A Little While Later -
After Return of the Jedi ended, I got the kids into their coats and rushed the to the store, so I could grab something's for dinner tonight. So here we were, in the store, shopping for the stuff I needed while the kids sat in the shopping cart made for kids to sit in. "What're you making tonight for dinner, Papa?" Ethan Jr. asked me, looking up at me with his green eyes as I placed steaks (that's for tomorrow night's dinner) and ribs into the cart.
"I'm making ribs and mashed potatoes tonight, Ethan," I told him, who hummed happily while he clapped his hands together. Ethan Jr. loved ribs, just like his Daddy -aka- Benny.
"Yay, ribs!"
I chuckled at his respond, and continued with the picking up stuff for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's night's dinner as well. I pushed the cart out of one the aisles and I almost ran into another cart, if the person hadn't stopped and quickly apologized, "oh crap, I'm so sorry about that."
And that's when my eyes widened after hearing the voice, I lifted my head up to see, Hannah Price, standing there, I hadn't seen or heard from her since she left for collage three years ago. "Hannah Price, long time no see." I sad to her, and she looked up to get a good look at me before a smile broke out on her face.
"God, Ethan, it's been a long time!" I nodded in agreement as she looked at Belle and Ethan Jr. "And I see your babies, aren't babies anymore."
"Yeah, they aren't babies anymore, they just turned three, about two months ago. And Benny and I just celebrated our anniversary two months ago as well. Both on the same day actually."
"On the same day? Wow, that's a lot to celebrate in one day."
"It is," I agreed, before leaning on the shopping cart some more. "So how long have you been back in Whitechapel?"
"For about four weeks, yeah my fiancé and I decided to come back here so we can finish collage here and then get married a little bit after graduation."
"You're engaged? I guess congratulations are in order here, so who's the lucky guy?"
Hannah was about to reply when a voice, that (I also knew very well) called out Hannah's name and a guy appeared by her side, holding tennis balls. "Hey babe, can we get these..?" The guy asked her.
"Yes, you can put them into the shopping cart, and also, there's someone I'd like you to meet, David, this is-" Hannah was cut off by David (and I mean, the same David, who was friends with me and Benny in our Freshmen year, when I turned into a werewolf and he turned into a weredog.)
"Ethan! My bro one! How's it hangin'?" he asked almost punching my shoulder, but Hannah stopped him by patting his chest lightly and shaking her head.
"It's hanging fine. I'm married to Benny now, we've two beautiful kids as you can see," I looked down at my kids who were staring at the two people in front of them. I had a feeling that they were like sensing if they were good people or not (I'll explain all of it later, trust me I will).
"Yeah, they're very adorable, they clearly take after you and Benny that's for dang sure.." David stated, nodding his head.
I smiled at hearing this, and the kids looked up at me. "Belle, Ethan Jr. please say thank you."
"Thank you."
Hannah then cleared her throat and looked at me. "Well, there's just too many questions to answer, so Ethan maybe we should all get together sometime, David and I, and you and Benny... you know for some dinner sometime.. how does that sound?"
"Sounds great, um let me give you my house number and I will tell Benny about it," I agreed, holding out my hand. Hannah grabbed her cell phone and handed it over to me so I could put the house phone number into her contacts. I quickly saved my number to her phone and gave her phone back to her, she accepted it back a thanks.
"Awesome, I'll call you, soon. Until then, bye, Ethan it was nice seeing you again," she tells me, as she moves the cart out of the way and starts to push it away.
"See you around bro one," David patted my shoulder before he jogged up to Hannah.
I waved at them before turning back around and I began to push the cart down the next aisle, when Ethan Jr. asked me, "Papa, are they like us?" he turns a bit in his seat to look up at me.
"David is like us, I don't know about Hannah though," I answered, yes they do know about the supernatural and that's all I'm saying for right now like I said before I'll explain more later.
Little Ethan nodded and turned back in his seat, letting me get finished with the shopping, I got all of my items checked out quickly, and rushed back out to the car before it started raining again (and the second reason was because; it was starting to get late and I needed an hour to cook before Benny got home from work), I put the kids into their car-seats and buckled them in before putting all of the bags into the trunk and closing it. I hopped into the front seat, just as thunder boomed and lightning lit up the dark clouded sky.
"Let's hope that it doesn't start raining until we get home," I hoped, and both kids nodded in agreement. I started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot of the store.
As we drove home, the kids sing along with many songs by, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Imagine Dragons and other artists. I just smiled and watched them through the mirror while driving. They remind, of how Benny and I used to be as kids. And I pretty sure I've said that before, but hell I'm just gonna say it again.
A few more minutes later, we arrived back at the house, just as it was trying to start raining again. I took the keys out and hopped out of the car, I opened the back door, I unbuckled Belle first and helped her out of the car and then unbuckled Ethan from his car-seat and helped him out of the car, I turned them as I closed the door. "You wanna help Papa, get the bags in the house before it starts to rain again?"
"Sure, Papa." Ethan Jr. and Belle both agreed, we walked over to the trunk. I opened it and gave them both small and not really freaking heavy bags, I carried the heavier bags and shut the trunk, following behind the kids as they ran to the front door, thunder boomed again and it started to rain a bit harder, I was half wet by the time I got to the front door. I fumbled with the keys until I found the house key, I stuck it into the lock and turned it to the side, unlocking the door.
Belle pushed it open and ran inside the house with Ethan right behind her, I walked in last, I closed the door and put the keys down on the table near the door and locked the door. I headed towards the kitchen, where the kids were at putting the bags onto the table and taking off their jackets and shoes. I put the bags I was carrying onto the counter.
"Belle, Ethan, why don't you two go put your shoes and jackets at the front door and go wash your hands so you two can get started on watching Titanic after that."
They both nodded their heads and took their shoes and jackets and ran out of the kitchen to go put them up. While I stayed behind and started to cook the ribs, as I did this I took put my phone and sent a quick text to Benny about dinner and that I hoped his day was going great. I put my phone down and took out the stuff for the mashed potatoes. Well hopefully everything would be done by the time Benny gets home.
- A Bit Later With Benny -
Benny's Point Of View
The day was over with, quicker than I thought it was going to be. Maybe it was because of the bad weather or because I had such a busy day. I just didn't look at the clock like I normally do whenever I am at work. But either way, the day was over with and it was time to head back home and relax. I was packing up my files into my satchel, when I noticed that I had a text message on my phone from Ethan. As I turned off the light on my desk, I clicked onto the text and smiled.
'Hey, baby, I hope you're having a good day, me and the kids are having a good day as well. And also for dinner tonight, I'm making your favorite and the kids' favorite as well. Ribs and mashed potatoes, *emoji of a smiley face here* although I hope baby Morgan lets you eat it. Well we'll just have to see, see you soon, babe.' - Ethan.
I smiled even wider, before I texted back a reply and slipped my phone into my pocket and stepped out of my office, and closed the door as Zaria flicked off the lights to the whole building. "Heading home for the night, Zars?" I asked her, as we walked out of the building and I turned around to lock the door to the building.
"No, actually. I'm heading out to a nightclub with some friends for drinks and dancing," Zaria answered, I let out a small "oh", before turning back around.
"So, should I put you on vacation for tomorrow or...?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "Depends on how many drinks I have, so maybe you should put me on vacation for tomorrow, just in case."
I nodded my head. "Sure, I will do that."
"Alright, thanks, Benny, see you soon," she waved me off as she walked towards her car with her keys in hand. I waved back and headed to my car, I got into it and turned it on, I turned on the wipers to get rid of the rain on the window, as soon as the window was clear of drops I backed up the car and pulled out of the small parking lot and onto the road.
And while driving home, I had decided to turn it onto the weather, just to see what was gonna happen within the next few days and the weather guy said that the rain was going to continue to for a few more weeks, he also said to keep on the heaters (and keep out the jackets) because it was going to get colder than it has been and with it getting colder, there was going to be high chances of snow. He made a comment about how this is some of the weirdest weather Whitechapel has had in years. I of course, had to let out a light chuckle, yeah, so far the weirdest thing to happen in Whitechapel (in a few years) was the freaking weather. I turned it to another radio channel, where they were playing one of Taylor Swift's newest songs, and I just left it on there. I mouthed along with "Shake It Off" and than along with Fall Out Boy's "Uma Thurman".
A few more songs and minutes later, I finally arrived back at the house. Ahh, it was going to feel so good to be back inside the heated house, where I could eat dinner with my loving husband and two adorable kids, then watch the TV a while with them, then put the kids to bed, take a bath and cuddle up with Ethan for a little while then go to sleep in the warm bed, and cuddle with Ethan some more. I smiled to myself, as I threw my satchel on my shoulder (and also keeping my keys out) and hopped out of the car. I headed towards the front door, before turning around and hit the lock button on my keys twice making sure it locked. Then I turned back around and stuck the house key into the lock and twisted it towards me, the lock clicked. I pushed open the door and walked inside the house, I was greeted by the warm house and the wonderful smell of ribs.
I turned around to close the door, when I heard the happy-loud shouts of "Daddy!" and I felt two small figures wrap their arms around my legs, I looked down to see Belle and Ethan Jr. hugging tightly onto my legs. A smile appeared onto my face, as I closed the door and tried to walk with the kids on my legs.
"We missed you, Daddy!" they both cried out, I stopped walking and reached down to rub their heads.
"I missed you both too," I told them, trying to walk again, but they were still hugging onto my legs. I looked down at them.
Belle looked up at me. "Did you miss Papa, too?"
I nodded my head, with a grin on my face. "Yes I missed Papa too, I missed you all today." I told her.
And as if on cue, Ethan pops out from the kitchen, with a rag in his hands and little smile on his face when he sees me and the kids, he walked a little closer to us and looked down at the kids and they looked up at him with innocent eyes and looks.
I giggled quietly, putting my hand over my mouth. That was another thing they got from us. "Ethan, Belle, what're you two doing to Daddy?" Ethan asks them, putting his hands on his hips.
"We were just giving Daddy welcome hug," Ethan Jr. replied rubbing his cheek against my leg, Belle nodded her head in agreement with what her brother said.
"I can see that, but Daddy has to have his legs back. Or else he might fall," he tells them. "And we don't want Daddy, to fall don't we?" he added, they shook their heads "no" that they didn't want me to fall. And they quickly unwrapped themselves from my legs and looked up at me.
"Sorry, Daddy."
"It's okay, babies, you easily forget. It's fine." I assured, they're only three and they were happy to see me, so in their excitement, they forget things. Ethan does it, I do it. It's perfectly fine.
"Well dinner's ready, so Ethan, Belle, why don't you two go wash your hands in the kitchen while Papa welcomes Daddy home." Ethan suggested.
"Sure, Papa!" they agreed and with that they ran back into the kitchen to wash their hands. I watched them leave Ethan and I alone (for a few minutes at least), and then I was pulled right into Ethan's arms and his lips were right on mine, kissing me passionately, I wrapped my arms around his neck while Ethan's arms went to my waist pulling me closer to him. We kissed passionately for about two minutes before Ethan stopped and began to nuzzle my neck, nipping lightly at it.
Ethan moaned quietly against my neck. "I missed you," he pressed himself against me some.
I bit on my bottom lip as I let out a small giggle. "I noticed that, babe." Ethan raised his head up and pecked me on the lips.
"I can't wait to have you in my arms later tonight."
"And I can't wait to be in your arms," we smiled at each other before kissing each other again. But though the kissing didn't last long, because we heard the sounds of our kids' footsteps coming towards us and then stopping, I felt Ethan grinning against my lips.
"Daddy and Papa, kissing again!" Belle stuck her tongue out, shaking her head while Ethan Jr. covered his eyes, saying it was burned into his brain. Unlike most kids, they didn't mind us kissing in front of them, they just didn't mind, although they did stuff like this sometimes just to be goofy or funny.
We pulled away from each other and Ethan turned his back to me, as I unzipped my jacket while watching him as he held out his arms and smiled at our kids. "Here comes the tickle monster!" he called out playfully as he went towards Belle and Ethan Jr.
Their eyes widened and they took off running back into the kitchen/dinning room, yelling out, "No, tickle monster!" Ethan chuckled, I put my jacket on the coat rack and then wrapped my arms around Ethan's body and rested my chin on his shoulder.
"Remember when you used chase me around yelling 'here comes the tickle monster'?"
"Yeah..." he trailed off, then a smirk appeared on his face. "And remember after we -you know- made love, I went back to being the tickle monster and tickled you every chance I got."
My cheeks turned a light pink, as the memories flooded back of how our tickle fights would turn into passionate making outs, and than it'd lead into some other passionate things that would end with us on the bed, underneath the covers, panting for breath, Ethan whispering sweet nothings to me while I cuddled into him, kissing his chest/heart and holding his hand until we both fell asleep, (and then we'd wake up and do that all over again, besides the tickling part).
Ethan smiled and patted my hands. "Come on, baby, we gotta eat dinner," he stated grabbing onto my hand and tagging me along with him to the kitchen/dinning room where our kids were at. I just smiled and let him pull me to the kitchen/dinning room where the kids and dinner was.
Damn, I love my life.
- A Little While Later, After Dinner -
After dinner, Ethan, the kids and I sat down and watched the rest of Titanic, then we carried them to the bathroom and helped them with their bath and then dried and brushed their hair. And after that we helped them to bed, where Belle and Ethan Jr. wanted both Ethan and I (Papa and Daddy) to read them their favorite bedtime story. And of course we agreed. So here we are now, reading them the tell end of 'Beauty and the Beast', yes I know we're finally finishing the book, but we've reread it about three times already. The kids loved the book so much they wanted to hear it again and again and Ethan and I didn't mind rereading the book, so yeah.
We finally reached the end of the book and we both said those words always used at the end of every fairytale book. "And they all lived happily ever after... the end." I closed the book and looked up from the book, Ethan laughed softly, when we both saw Belle and Ethan Jr. fast asleep in their beds. Half covered up with their covers, I put the book back on the shelf and got up from the chair. Ethan covered Belle up with her blanket and I covered Ethan Jr. up with his blanket.
Then we walked over to the door and Ethan flicked off the light and we stood at the door watching our two little ones sleep soundly. Ethan wrapped an arm around my waist and I lean into his hold as his hand makes its way to my stomach. "They're so adorable."
I nod my head in agreement. "They are."
"And so will be the baby, growing inside you right now," Ethan added, I again nodded in agreement, leaning my head back so Ethan could kiss me on the lips. And then we went back to staring at the kids for a few more minutes.
"Well, come on, B-baby, we gotta little washing up of our own to do." With that Ethan quietly and carefully pulled me out of the room and closed the door. A giggle escape my lips as Ethan pulled me to the bathroom and began to remove our clothes. And of course I'm leaving it at that.
Afterward, we laid on the couch, me on top of Ethan's chest, his arms wrapped around me with a blanket on top of us, a fire going in the fireplace and playing in the background was Titanic, (yeah we were watching it again, but who the hell cares) I purred softly and cuddled more into Ethan as Jack was about to stop Rose from jumping off the back of the ship.
"This is nice," Ethan commented, running his hand up and down my back, making me shiver lightly and move more against him.
"Yes, it is..." I hummed, as he stroked my hair. "Very nice, relaxing and quiet..."
"Yeah, although when you get farther along in the pregnancy, we won't be able to cuddle like this."
"I know, but we can still cuddle with my back against your chest. And your hands stroking my round stomach, where our baby will be resting," I told him, kissing his flat bare stomach.
Ethan looked down at me with a smile on his face before giving me a kiss on the lips. "And you know I can't wait for the kids to feel their sibling kicking and moving around in your belly. And I also can't wait to see the amazed looks on their faces when they feel it." I let a small giggle leave my lips, closing my eyes while imagining how our older babies would act whenever they got the chance to feel my stomach for the kicks and moves of their sibling. And of course I continued to think about the baby and our other babies, until I was about to enter dreamland, when I heard Ethan talking to me.
"I love you, Benny, so freakin' much it hurts."
"I love you too, Ethie, babe.. so much," I sleepily mumbled out, Ethan let out a chuckle at my sleepy cuteness, (now awake me would've pouted until Ethan kissed me to get me to stop pouting) but tired me couldn't give a damn right now. I grinned softly and than fell into dreamland while listening to Ethan's heartbeat and the light talking of Rose and Jack in the background.
Yeah, there was a little bit of job stress in our lives, but that's completely normal. And other then that, our lives were perfect, and nobody, and I mean nobody or anything was gonna try to mess up or get in the way of our happiness. Because of someone or something did. We'd be ready for it this time and I meant it.

And, boom! IT'S DONE! After weeks of writing, the first chapter of "The Not Perfect Life" is finished! Whoooo! *does a happy dance* the ending of the first chapter officially marks the start of "The Not Perfect Life"! Whooppp! Hehe, I'm sorry, just really happy about finishing the first chapter and all. *clears throat* umm, so what did you guys think about the first chapter. Awesome and adorable? Or good? Or bad? I really wanna know what you guys think. And once again, this chapter would've been out sooner. But, a lot happened while writing this chapter, fanfiction went down and I write all of my chapters in the doc manager, so I couldn't write, and it's about to be a year when my grandma passed away, (this Saturday) and my grandpa wanted to do something with my parents and I (I didn't mean doing it though) and there's lots more, but I really don't feel like talking about it right now.
Before you guys ask; yes, the soundtrack for this story will be coming out soon. I just don't know when though, (maybe in a few more chapters or at the end) I have a feeling it's gonna be at the end. So that way I can make sure that the songs fit the story. And when it's up, you can find it on my YouTube account.
And how adorable are the twins? Aren't they just soooo adorable you guys wanna pinch their little cheeks, hug them and wrap them up in blankets? I hope that I threw in a lot of Bethan marriage/family fluff. 'Cause that's what I was going for, and this fluff is going to last throughout the whole story, or at least that's what I have it for, with a lot of Hurt/Comfort and a little bit of angst (just a pinch).
Like I said before, the first few chapters will be mostly about their marriage, job and family lives. And then the second half will be about the new drama that's trying rip apart their perfect lives, and possibly two chapters will be about the trip they'll be taking for Ethan's birthday.
And Benny and Ethan will most likely tell their kids about them having a baby brother or sister in chapter three...? That's what I'm aiming for.
The song that played on the alarm clock is titled "Good Life" by OneRepublic.
And the song that played on Benny's Zy-Pod while he was showering is titled "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Ray. (please note that I just used the titles for the songs).
So the next chapter coming up is gonna be about some baby stuff. But it's gonna be a bit before I can get it out, I have the final chapter for MBAV Dadnapped Style to write and post, then I work on my chapter for "TOS" so yeah. There's a lot to update, and I will get them done as quickly as possible.
And there's really nothing else to say, just that I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter of the sequel! 'Cause I had a lot of fun writing it! :)
Read, Review, Favorite, Follow, do whatever you wanna do. :)
Until the next update!
