Enough for Now
Chapter 10
Garrett and I have been going strong for six months now.
Greyson was doing well with the adjustment and their relationship was blossoming.
We were co-parenting, so they could have some bonding and one on one time and Garrett and I had our weekends away every so often as well.
This weekend we were having a big cookout celebration for Mother's Day at Alistair's house.
Both families were coming, something we were working on to get our families to bond better.
We arrived at Alistair's house and Greyson took off playing with the triplets.
They were seven, but got along pretty good with him, that is all except for Arianna, but she didn't get along with anyone except for her friends. She didn't really like to play outside and get dirty. I knew today she'd be sitting glued to her mom's side, thinking she was a little adult, until Al had enough and threw her into the pool or sent her to her room. It was quite a funny sight. Heidi usually got pissed at him, but quickly got over it when he threaten to not give her any tongue. Garrett all but gagged when he said that every time.
"No, you don't understand Bella, he's NOT talking about kissing." He made a face stressing the kissing part.
I had spit out the soda I'd been drinking and threw a cherry tomato at Alistair.
"That's just gross Al." I'd responded.
"Hey, gotta keep my woman in line, and that's what works, right babe?" Alistair had said.
"I'm pleading the fifth." Heidi had said.
And we all broke out into laughter.
"What are you thinking about beautiful?" Garrett asked.
"Alistair and his tongue." I smirked.
Garrett held me at arm's length and gave me a questioning look.
"The first family dinner and where Arianna was being a brat. He told her to behave her she'd get no tongue and you had to explain it to me." I laughed.
"Ugh! Don't remind me." He shivered. "Your dad and brothers are here." He kissed the side of my head.
"Thanks. Where's Greyson?" I asked.
"He's with Alexa and Anya. They're swimming with Al." he smiled.
"That's why you're wet too?" I smirked.
"Nope, I'm wet for different reasons." He growled, biting my neck.
I giggled and shoved him away.
"Be good, do you want my family to kill you today?" I swatted his chest.
"Ah-no! That wouldn't be good." He trailed kisses down my neck as I moaned. "Do I get to see you in a bathing suit today?" he panted.
"Maybe, but first you better do something about that fucking boner. My dad will shoot you on the spot." I ground my ass into him.
"Let me fuck you hard and fast, that'll take care of it. C'mon, Alistair has a little shed over here." He pulled me to the side of the house.
"Garrett. C'mon everyone is here. My family just arrived. My family will come looking for me." I sighed.
"Al will keep them busy. I've got to have you. Fuck!" he pulled me in and pulled himself free and then made quick work of my bottoms. "This is going to be fast baby, I just have a raw need today, can't you feel it."
He picked me up and rammed into me.
I bit his shoulder to keep from screaming out.
It was hot in the little shed, which added to the sexual tension. It was fucking perfect, we'd never done this before and I was loving the adventurous side.
"I'm close babe." He reached between us and pinched my clit.
I bit into his shoulder again and we both came hard and panting. He slowly released me.
"Fuck that was good baby. We need to do this more often, but more secluded, I want you to scream my name." Garrett bent down and kissed me hard.
He handed me his t-shirt. "Here, clean up with this." I smiled and cleaned up quickly and fixed my ponytail.
"Oh shit!" I looked at his shoulder. "I really marked you babe."
"Mmmm, I like that." He kissed my neck. "I marked you too." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"My family is going to kill you today." I shook my head.
He laughed and led me out of the shed, rounding the house we ran into Alistair.
"Where the fuck… never mind… Y'all were fucking. I can smell you." He rolled his eyes. "Gross." He laughed.
"Your brother Sam is on the warpath looking for you. And Garrett, that mark on her neck the size of Texas does not bode well for you my man. He's a scary dude." Alistair patted his shoulder. "Damn Bells, didn't know you had it in you…" he looked at me and I smirked.
"Come on, we might as well get it over with." I pulled Garrett towards my family.
"Sis!" Emily hugged me and then looked at me with a knowing smile making me blush.
"Emily." Garrett hugged Emily and Sam wrapped his arm protectively around his wife, making us both laugh.
"Hey sis, how are you doing?" Sam kissed my cheek.
"Doing great. Garrett is taking great care of us." I smiled really big.
"Since when do you need a man to take care of you?" he snorted.
"Ugh! You're such an ass." Come on Emily, I'll introduce you to Heidi, you and her will get along great. She love shopping for girls as much as you." I laughed.
"Bella you do know you have a huge hickey on your neck and you left your gorgeous boyfriend with a huge hickey on his shoulder with your huge brother, alone." She looked horrified.
I laughed.
"Yeah, we had an awesome quickie in the shed when everyone first arrived. He turned into an animal. Said he needed me hard and fast. He's never taken me like that, marked me like this. It was hot as hell. Such a turn on. Emily, if this man were to propose to me… I think I'd say yes." I laughed like it were the most silliest think to happen.
"You think he'd ask?" Emily asked.
"No. We haven't even thought that far ahead. Future isn't even in the future. It's been what? Five months or so? That's like really fast. Way to fast." I shook my head as we approached the table where everyone was sitting and they were staring at me.
"What the hell is THAT Bella?" Paul jumped up.
"What is what?" I played stupid.
"That!" he poked my neck.
"Ohhhhh… Just a little bruise from the curling iron." I waved my hand.
Alistair busted out laughing and I glared at him, about the same time Sam and Garrett come up looking like the best of friends.
"Dad, Paul. Family meeting with Garrett here, Please." Sam ushered them inside and I looked at him with big doe eyes. He waved me off like it was no problem as Alistair pronounced 'DEAD MAN WALKING'
"Don't you hurt my boyfriend!" I yelled right before the door slammed and Sam threw me a devious look over his shoulder. I knew that look.
"Alistair, maybe you should be in there too. You know for comic relief." I slapped his shoulder.
"No way! I didn't fuck you. He's all on his own." He drew a fake knife across his neck.
"Gee thanks." I sighed.
"Why can't my family just take a bribe? You know? Be dirty cops for once, Garrett could give them like a million dollars. He's got it to spare." I shrugged.
"Damn girl. You think your pussy is worth that much?" Alistair laughed.
"AL!" Heidi slapped him upside the head.
"Well..." He tried to defend himself.
Soon after they were walking out. They all looked pretty happy, except Paul. Paul looked conflicted.
"What's up?" I asked sitting next to my brother.
"Nothing. I still think he's got a lot to prove. Dad and Sam are liking what they see with Greyson and you. They say you look the best you've looked in years. The healthiest and happiest." He sighed.
"And that bothers you?" I questioned.
"No! What bothers me is, what if he decides to up and leave you both again? That's what bothers me. Doesn't it bother you too?" he snapped.
"Of course. I still think about that. We're working through that. He assures me every day that's not going to happen. He loves Greyson and me. He never wants to leave us again. He even hates going away on business anymore." I sighed.
"Just be careful sis. I only want the best." He hugged me. "I'm going to go swimming now." He smiled and walked to the pool.
The rest of the day went off without a hitch.
The kids had fun playing in the pool, I even got in, and until they decided I was the new version of the ball and to try and play keep away with me. Yeah, wasn't going to happen.
That's when I got out to sun myself.
Lunch was great, they went all out with burgers, dogs, salads, cakes, and you name it. Enough to feed an army. Emmett and Rose even showed up, making me very happy, they were my rock through a lot of this.
"So, I see things between you and Garrett are getting heavy." Rose pulled me to the side later in the evening.
"I don't know about heavy, but hot. Hell yes." I giggle-snorted.
"Bella Swan telling me she did something naughty?" Rose gasped.
"Yes! We did it in the shed over there. Just as my dad and brothers were arriving!" I squealed.
"Oh Shit!" Rose shouted. Causing everyone to look our way. "Carry on heathens." Rose snapped.
"I'm glad it's night time Rose. I'm sure I'm blushing now!" I smacked her shoulder. She laughed in my face.
"Ladies, it's time for us to give the mommies their gifts." Garrett wiggled his eyebrows.
"I think you already gave Bella hers." Rose mumbled to Garrett before leaving us alone.
"You told her?" he asked incredulously.
"Of course! I tell Rose everything." I shrugged.
"Everything?" he gulped.
"Everything." I poked him in the chest and smirked, walking away.
He easily caught up to me and grabbed my hand, sitting me at the table telling me he was going to wrangle Greyson out of the pool.
I was talking to the ladies as the guys were getting themselves together.
Paul went first. He gave Jane a beautiful diamond necklace.
Sam presented Emily with a cruise for the summer time. They'd fly to California and cruise to Mexico.
Next up was Alistair. He called Heidi over to him and handed her an envelope. When she opened it and gasped and then started screaming and jumping up and down like a crazy women, Alistair laughed.
"I guess I've still got it. I'd like to see you beat THAT little brother." He tilted his head.
"What the hell is it?" he asked.
"It's an entire week in Paris, to ALL the most exclusive shows and parties during fashion week." Alistair shrugged.
"Pffftttt. If I gave that to Bella, she'd castrate me." He laughed.
Heidi, Emily and Rose just looked at me shaking their heads. They knew I didn't like shopping THAT much.
Emmett was up next.
"I know this is supposed to be about the guys giving the ladies a gift, and well even though she's not a mom I did buy her something so she wasn't left out." He handed her a Pandora box with a few charms already on it. "But as of tomorrow, I'll have to go out and buy a new one. Rose here, gave me a gift this morning before we came to the party, that's why we were late." He laughed.
"Emmett, I don't want to hear about Rose's famous BJ skills, remember… I've known you two forever? I've seen and heard ALL you two have done and it's quite disturbing." Everyone burst out laughing.
"Now Bella, after this afternoon, I know you're not a prude." Rose bitch smirked at me and I gasped.
Garrett chuckled and I slapped his chest, telling him to shut it or I'd let my brother's beat him up.
Paul gladly cracked his knuckles.
"Anyway… As I was saying… Rose gave me the best present ever. She told me we're expecting. She's pregnant. So she truly is a mommy today!" Emmett beamed and kissed her loudly.
I ran to her and squeezed her tight.
"Oh my gosh, it's so exciting. I'm so happy for you." I rocked her back and forth. "How far do you think?" I asked.
"Maybe a couple of months. I have an appointment next Wednesday. I'm so excited." She squealed.
"OK… I don't have a gift to give anyone, but an announcement to make. I just want to let my children know that Sue Clearwater and I have started dating. I was going to bring her today, but her children already had something planned for her. Leah and Seth know about us and I think Sam has suspected as well, he's seen me leaving her place quite a few times early in the morning for work." My dad blushed.
"Doing the walk of shame, Mr. S?" Emmett bellows.
"No Emmett, I'm not. I do take a clean uniform with me." He shakes his head.
"Seth is graduating this year and moving here to Seattle for college, so I believe that Sue will be moving in with me and we'll be starting our life together. We both have a few years left before full retirement and then we'd like to move here as well to be closer to our children and grandchildren." Charlie smiled.
"Which brings me to my 'gift' but it's for my oldest son. This came to the office last week, but I wanted to save it until tonight. A night of true celebrations." He handed Sam a thick envelope.
Sam opened it carefully. And then got a huge smile on his face. Picked up Emily and whispered something in her ear causing her to smile really big.
"I-Uh, I didn't tell anyone about this because I didn't want to jinx myself. But I applied for and tested with the Seattle police department. I interviewed with them three weeks ago. It was for the Lead Detective spot. And this letter is the acceptance letter. They're welcoming me to their police department. We've got a month to get our affairs in order and to move to Seattle." He sighed. "Wow." He blew out a breath.
We all congratulated him with hugs and the guys with high fives.
Up next was Garrett and he enlisted Greyson's help.
"Attention everyone! My dad needs your attention!" Greyson yelled.
Garrett was standing at the front where all the other guys had stood, hands in his now khaki shorts.
"Bella, you're the greatest mom in the world. Watching you with Greyson at any time of the day amazes me. You have this naturalness about you. When he throws a temper tantrum, you someone get him to calm down with a look, I need to learn that look. I usually have to bribe him and I SO know that's not the right thing to do." I'm glaring at him shaking my head. "At work, you're the picture of calm. You don't care who put that computer together, it could have been the President of the company himself, which it was and you'd mouth off and tell him so. You didn't care, it was wrong and you made it right, you simplified it. You do things your way, but the right way. You do know and apologize later if needed. Alistair and you are a pair to be reckoned with in the work place. Even though you're head of IT, production has doubled because you've made changes to make it more efficient.
You just continue to amaze me, in every aspect, every day.
I keep trying to see what you see in me. I'm much older than you, I've treated you badly in the past and I didn't come looking for you to apologize like a gentleman should have and I'll keep working every day of my life to make that up to you.
Bella Swan, you truly are an amazing, beautiful woman and I would be forever in your debt if you would do the honor of becoming my wife."
Garrett dropped to one knee and Greyson stood in his arms with a black box popped open.
"Marry us mommy?" He smiled and I lost it.
I dropped to my knees in front of them and kissed Greyson and whispered in his ear.
"Tell daddy I said YES!"
Greyson turned around and shouted.
"Daddy, daddy! Mommy said YES!"
AN:
WOW!
What a MOTHER'S DAY!
I'm wiped out!
