Donnie woke up before the alarm clock went off. He reaches over to the nightstand and turns off the alarm as it went off. He turns over and sees Bianca sleeping peacefully with the blankets wrapped around her. She always hogged the blankets and it's one of the things he loves about her. They wanted to spend their first Christmas with Amara at his mother's house. Mary Anne had a room set up for Amara whenever they came to visit or she would babysit while Donnie and Bianca went out for the night. He leans over from behind and kisses her cheek making her wake up. She turns her head and open her eyes to see him smiling down at her.
"Morning Beautiful."
"Morning. I thought you'd be posted in Amara's room all night."
"She has the ears of a bat with and without the hearing aids."
"She just doesn't want to leave her daddy's arms. I don't either." She says holding his hand. "Did she go down okay?"
"Yeah. I played her our song on my phone."
"You talking about that beat I made for you?"
"Yeah."
"I didn't know that was our song though."
"She likes hearing her mama's voice as much as I do." He mumbles, then kisses her. She tries to pull away but he keeps it going. She gets caught in the moment and let's him get on top of her.
"Baby, your mom's down the hall." She giggles quietly.
"She's sleeps through thunder storms. She won't hear us."
"We're not having sex in your old room."
"Baby it's been almost sixteen weeks. Sixteen weeks without touching my wife."
"Well those ten weeks came from you training and you recovering from your ribs getting broken again."
"But I'm better now. We aren't going to have time besides the mornings to just be alone. Please baby." He says and kisses behind her ear, which is her sensitive spot.
"Alright but you better keep it down."
"Well you better keep it down because we gotta make up for those twelve weeks."
"Okay." She whispers. She moves the covers and lets him in, pulling them back over them. She pulls off his tight black shirt and throws it across the room. She sits up on her elbows and kissed him.
"Do you want to ?" He alludes to him getting protection he had packed before they came over.
"No. It's good, I'm back on the pill." She said to him as she pulled down her pajama bottoms in bed. They keep kissing as he slipped out of his pants. He's about to go in when the doorbell rings.
"Who the hell is out here at seven in the morning?"
"Who does that sound like to you?" She says and they automatically know it's Rocky.
"He wasn't kidding about being early." He chuckles. They had invited Rocky and his family over for the holidays and he said he was going to be on time at seven as he is always.
"I'll get it. You gotta cool yourself off before you come down stairs." She leans up and kisses him. She gets out of bed and throws on her maroon robe over her.
"Even when I don't live with him no more, he stills kill the mood." He says sitting against the bed post.
"Better killing the mood early than walk in the middle of it."
"It was just one time." He holds his finger up.
"Go take a shower." She pecks a kiss on his lips and walks out the room. She races down the stairway as the doorbell keeps ringing. "Hang on, I'm coming." She pushes her long unbraided hair to the side and opens the door. She sees a tall woman with long hazel brown hair wearing a brown puffer jacket. Standing next to her is a young girl, looking around sixteen, and a little boy who looks about seven holding her hand. "Hi, can I help you?"
"Your not grandma?"
"I'm sorry. You must be Bianca. It's so good to meet you." She walks in and immediately hugs her, "I'm Olivia."
"Oh, your Olivia?" She's surprised to see her at the door as they had never formally met.
"Didn't my mom tell you we were coming?"
"I thin she wanted to surprise us. Are there anymore we should expect?"
"I'm guessing she didn't tell you about Anthony too."
"No she didn't. Come in." The family walked in the house with their bags and set them down at the stairway. "Are these your kids?"
"Yeah this is Jessie and Miles."
"Your pretty." The boy says to her.
"Thank you, I just got out of bed."
"Is there a place to put our bags?" The teenage girl asked.
"Yeah. The guest rooms are upstairs and downstairs. I can make you guys some breakfast." She pointed out.
"That would really great." Olivia replies.
"GRANDMA!" Miles runs up the stairs to a awake Mary Anne. The boy hugs her and she lifted up in her arms.
"Hi baby. Look at you, you've gotten so big."
"Hi mom." Mary Anne looks over and comes downstairs to greet her daughter and granddaughter.
"Look at you two. I thought you were coming tomorrow."
"It's five days before Christmas. We weren't going to miss all the fun."
"Well let's get you set in the guest rooms and have some breakfast. How about you hang out in the kitchen wile I get these upstairs for you." The three of them went to the kitchen while Mary Anne and Bianca stand off to the side and talk.
"So I'm guessing Donnie doesn't know they're here or that his brother is coming?"
"I know it's wrong for lying to my son but the kids haven't been all together for years. It was a mother wanting her children to make peace with each other for the holidays." Bianca understood where she was coming from. Being a new mother, she would want Amara and any siblings she would have to be happy and get along.
"No I understand. I'll tell Donnie that they're here. Do you mind bringing down Amara when she wakes up?"
"Of course. You go get a shower in."
"Thank you." She walks back up the stairs and heads to their bedroom. She opens the door and hears the shower going. She figured she'd get a shower in while she breaks the news to Donnie. She stripped down her robe and panties as she walked to the bathroom.
"D?" She says as she opens the door.
"Hey." She walks over to the shower and pulls the curtain to step in. "You mind saving water?"
"I don't mind." He smirks as he looks up and down her body. She steps in and closes it back behind her. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him.
"I need to you something."
"What is it?"
"So Rocky wasn't at the door. It was your sister."
"My sister. Like my sister Olivia."
"Yeah. And your brother is coming later today. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. It's just kind of a bullet instead of a bomb. I haven't seen him in ten years. We've always had this beef with each other since I was only half Creed."
"You're no half Creed. Was it that bad?"
"Last time I saw him we ended up fighting at one of aunt's weddings. Ended up in the pool and he moved down to Atlanta after college. He only comes around when I'm not here and I did the same."
"Look at me." She takes his chin in her hand You both are different people and he's gonna see that. He probably wants to make amends and have a better relationship. He's your brother and he and your sister are all you got."
"I'll try. But if he tries anything or throws any kind of shade."
"I give you permission to do throw one punch if he goes below the belt and that's it."
"Thank you." He kisses her and things start to get hot. He presses her against the wall and she wraps her arms around his back. "Right here?"
"No one can hear us. Sixteen weeks is all I can take." They laugh and he kisses down her neck as the water hit their bodies.
