Chapter 2

Already two days had passed and things were not getting any better around the house. Millie was sick of her mother fussing over every little thing Riley did. Of course Riley was sick of Heather, but he did a very good job of not trying to show it. It was Monday morning and the family had just finished breakfast well everyone, but Riley who skipped breakfast so he would have less time in the same room as Heather. Millie knew that he was serious about not wanting to be around her mother because he never missed a meal.

After finishing the dishes Millie made her way upstairs and into the bedroom where Riley sat on the bed with his laptop in his lap. He glanced at Millie who walked over to the bed and sat down. For the longest time he had dreamed of meeting someone that just blew him away and the day he met Millie that was how he felt. He loved every single thing about her from her soft brown hair to her slender long legs. Millie scooted closer to Riley and placed her head on his shoulder. Riley put his laptop on the nightstand and put his arm around Millie and kissed her forehead.

"You Know I love you right?" Riley asked

"I know with everything inside." Millie said happily with a smile.

Millie looked up at him and kissed him gently on the lips. Riley intensified the kiss and placed his arm around her waist. Millie's lips parted as his tongue slipped inside her mouth. Within seconds her hand slipped under his white t-shirt and along his toned chest. Riley took his hand that was around her shoulder and slipped it behind Millie where he was just about to unclasp her bra when the door to their bedroom opened. The couple quickly broke apart as they heard the sound of a clearing throat.

Heather stood in the doorway looking at her daughter as if she was 16 and had broken curfew. There was an awkward moment where Heather looked at the couple who were just in a very intimate moment. She muttered something under her breath that neither Riley nor Millie could make out. Heather gave one more glance to the two on the bed before walking up the hall.

"Thanks for ruining the moment." Riley said and he picked his laptop back off the nightstand.

"I'm going to have to hear from her later about this." Groaned Millie before kissing Riley on the cheek and slipping out of the bed.

Millie sat in her office grading papers. Over the past two years she had taken up a job as a High School history teacher. She enjoyed sharing what she knew and her passion for history with young minds. Millie sat wearing jeans and a simple camisole with her hair in a messy bun. She had a determined look on her face as she read a student's paper. She tapped her pen on the side of her plastic black rimmed glasses.

There was a knock on the door and it opened. Standing in the door was a young girl who looked to barely be twenty.

"Ma'am you have visitors." The girl announced.

"Thank you Kalista." Millie said as she sat her pen down and stood from her chair.

Kalista was the young girl they had hired to assist with Jessica and help around the house. Kalista was an exchange student from Greece. Right after Jessica was born Riley and Millie placed an ad in the paper for a nanny. There were a few applicants there were very qualified with years of nanny experience, but Millie has a soft spot for the college student and hired her. Kalista was excellent with Jessica and was the most perfect and helping around the house.

Millie jogged down the stairs to find Ben and Abby in the sitting room. The couple smiled as Millie approached.

"Hey!" Millie said happily as she hugged each of them.

"So where is Aunt Heather?" Ben asked.

"In her room." Millie said.

"And I don't have to hear her voice." Riley said as he entered the sitting room and sat down next to his wife.

"Driving you crazy, huh?" Ben asked with a laugh.

"Crazy?" Riley questioned. "I think we passed crazy a long time ago."

"But she is staying with Aunt Emily for a few days starting today. I actually can't handle her anymore and I just want peace." Millie said.

"I'm the most excided I've been in a long time." Riley said happily.

"It won't be long." Millie said as she glanced at the clock above the fireplace and as soon as she spoke her mother strolled down the stairs and into the sitting room.

"Oh, Benjamin dear." Heather said as she rushed over to hug her nephew. "And your beautiful wife."

"Hi, Aunt Heather." Ben said as he hugged his aunt. Ben glanced at Riley who was rolling his eyes.

Heather sat down on the empty armchair and glanced over and Ben and Abby. "So when are you two going to have any little ones?" she asked.

"We're waiting." Abby said.

"Waiting?" questioned Heather.

"Waiting until we settle down. There is so much to do now and so much to discover we don't want that to hinder the life of a child." Abby said.

"Ah yes, treasure hunting." Heather spat. There was a short moment of silence before she spoke again. "Well it is better that you are doing that first than to start a family now. It is a horrible way to attempt to provide for a family." She shot Riley a disapproving look. Everyone could feel the tension in the room and they all felt awkward.

"Well mum are you ready to go with Aunt Emily?" Millie asked as she broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Just about." Heather said.

"Well you better finish she will be here soon." Millie said.

"You're right dear." Heather said as she stood. "It was wonderful to see you Benjamin and Abigail." Heather then left the room and made her way up the stairs.

It surely wasn't long before Heather was finally out of the house. It didn't take much convincing to get her to leave since she apparently hated the house anyways. Once Heather was out the door Millie walked upstairs. She stopped for a second right outside of Jessica's room where she smiled as she heard her baby's laughter. Kalista had been very good with Jessica and Millie was happy to have someone help out during the week. Millie sighed that she would be returning to work soon. She had been on maternity leave and while gone a sub was teaching her class. Millie still assigned the assignments and she still graded them from home. She was having a small desire to be a stay at home mom, but she still loved teaching. At once she jumped as her cell phone rang in her pocket. She pulled the phone from her pocket and answered it.

"Millicent Poole." Millie said.

"Hide the child for then no harm will be done." Said a raspy voice with a clear European accent. Millie tried to figure out what the accent was. She could clearly hear a French-ness, but there was also a tad Germen.

"I think you have the wrong number." Millie said politely.

"Keep the child locked away and safe." The voice said. Millie simply hung up her cell phone and placed it back into her pocket.

She put her attention back on her baby who was laughing at the teddy bear Kalista had. Millie then made her way up the hall and into the empty bedroom where she sat on the bed and went through her PDA. The next day she and Riley had a book signing for their book they wrote together about The Lost Fortress of Aphrodite that they titled Fortress of Love: Adventure into the Lost Fortress of Aphrodite. Millie looked up as Riley entered the bedroom from their master bathroom. She laughed as she saw his wet hair placed all over his head in a mess. Her eyes stayed glued to him as he made his way over to the closet. His chest was covered in small beads of water that dripped down onto the towel tied around his waist. Millie stood from the bed and walked behind Riley where she wrapped her arms around him.

"My mum is finally gone and she can interrupt anymore." Millie said playfully and she placed her fingers at the top of the towel.

"Nope she can't" Riley said as he turned and smirked at Millie. He swept her off her feet and carried her to the bed.
