This chapter is dedicated to dudeamanda! She is awesome =] . I attempt baby talk so don't make fun. Read and Review
"James… what, what are you doing here?"
"I… I just… can I come in?"
Daniella shot me a glance.
"Uh…sure, Kendall's here."
"Oh… hey bro."
I wanted to slap him.
"Hey."
There was an eerie silence hanging over the three of us and just the faint sound of Emmy's snores could be heard.
"Look… I just wanted to say that… I'm sorry. What I did to you was horrible and that wasn't me. I just felt so much pressure from my dad… He expects me to be perfect and he treats me like shit when I'm not. I just took it out on you and I'm sorry. I just wanted to let you know that… I am going to counseling… I'm going to a retreat during Christmas Break to work on my anger because I never want to hurt anyone else ever again. If there is anything I can do to compensate for what I did… let me know." James said as he wiped a tear away.
Daniella smiled up at James and went to hug him.
"I understand…I think that getting help is best."
"How's your eye and hips?"
"They feel better than they did when it first happened."
"Do you hate me?" he asked.
"No… I was angry but you explained what happened and I just want you to know that you can come to me whenever you feel angry."
"Thanks. Kendall, man, I'm sorry I punched you too."
"Yeah… I may not be as understanding as Dani but… I get the whole pressure thing."
"Yeah… well… I'll let you two go back to parenting." He said with a smirk.
My jaw dropped, "How did you know?"
"You guys make it really obvious. Plus, Emerson looks like the perfect mix of you two."
"Good point." Dani chuckled.
"James… do you hate me for not telling you."
"Absolutely not! You put Emerson and Dani first and that is what is important. Just tell the rest of the group. We won't hate you."
"I definitely will." I said as I smiled at Dani.
"Well… I'll see you guys at school tomorrow."
"Bye James!"
"Bye man!"
James left and Dani practically leaped into my arms.
"Are you going to really tell all your friends?"
"Yeah…so far everyone has been accepting of it so it probably won't be too bad."
"I've been telling you that from the beginning." She smiled.
"Da!"
I giggled and turned towards Emmy.
"What sweetie?"
"bah bwahh bah hmm"
"I feel the same way." I said as Dani snorted.
I went to pick her up and she immediately grabbed my hair.
"oww! Emmy how many times do I have to tell you not to pull my hair?"
"She obviously is captivated by your golden locks."
"Don't mock me Montgomery."
Suddenly her eyes widened.
"What is it Dani?" I asked as I once again removed Emmy's hands from my head.
"Snow!"
I turned to look out the window and sure enough there was snow. It was coming down hard and I could probably guarantee that we would have a snow day.
"I LOVE THE SNOW!" She exclaimed.
I chuckled, "I can tell."
"Can we take Emmy out in the yard tomorrow? Please." She looked up at me with puppy eyes.
I sighed, "I guess, but she has to be bundled up so tightly and she can't get a cold."
"You worry too much but yeah I know. You are always so concerned with her warmth." She smiled as she walked to the kitchen to eat the now cold pasta. I brought Emmy in and I fed her a bottle as we ate out pasta.
Daniella looked up at me and bit her lip. "This feels rights… This feels…perfect."
"I know I feel like a true family."
"Ma!"
"Emerson!"
"Ma!"
"Emmy!"
"Da!"
"Lovebug!"
My eyes locked with Daniella's and we broke into hysterics. This is what family was.
.LINEBREAK,
The next morning I woke up with Daniella's legs intertwined with mine and her body basically on top of mine. She wore a pair of shorts and a tank top even though the ground was covered in snow. I slept shirtless in a pair of basketball shorts. I ran my fingers through her hair and kissed the top of her hair.
"Hey sleepy head" I mumbled into the top of her head.
"Mhmm. Hey Babe. You're cozy."
"Thanks. It barely feels like you are on me."
"Thanks. I never want to leave this bed!" She mumbled into my neck.
"Neither do I. I slept so well."
"We have a snow day, what you want to do?"
"Play with Emerson in the snow and drink coco." She kissed my neck repeatedly.
"That feels good, Christmas is a month away…what should we get Emerson."
"I don't know… We'll figure something out" She stated as her tongue darted out to lick the hickey she just made.
"Why…why are you being all touchy this morning?"I groaned.
"I'm not sure… I just like waking up next to you."
"Awesome… I just got the best idea of what to get you for Christmas. You will love it."
"I can't wait. Now, go get my baby, I want to see her."
"Demanding."
"You know it." She giggled into my neck.
"I don't want to get her. I want to torture you like you did to me." I flipped us so I was hovering over her and I just started sucking and licking her collarbone. I placed my hand on her waist and she ran her hands through my hair. I slowly brought her shirt over her head and threw it on the floor. I was just about to unclasp her bra when Emerson started to cry. I groaned and Daniella chuckled.
"Sorry babe. Go get our daughter."
"But I was so into it!" I groaned as I went to put on a shirt.
"I know…we'll pick it up when she takes her nap. Can you throw me my shirt please?"
I threw it and went to get Emerson.
"Hey Lovebug. You cry at the most inopportune times." I chuckled as I picked her up as her hands went into my hair immediately.
"Just like your mother." I murmured.
I walked into the bedroom and Daniella was jumping on the bed. I looked at her with a weird face.
"What…what are you doing?"
"Well, we have a snow day and I want to take Emmy out to play and I'm just excited. The snow always makes me happy."
"Note to self: never move to Antarctica with you."
She playfully glared as she took Emmy from me.
"Emerson you want to go out and play in the snow?"
"Ma!"
"I'll take that as a yes."
.LINEBREAK.
It was around one when we went out to play. I was laughing as Daniella held a very Eskimo looking Emerson in her arms. We were showing Emmy the snow but I don't think she liked it. I placed some snow on her nose and she immediately started to cry.
"Don't cry Lovebug. It's just snow." We played with Emmy outside for ten minutes because Emerson really didn't like the snow.
"You stay out here; I'm going to put her down for a nap. I'll bring the monitor out."
I nodded as I watched her head in. I was admiring all the snow in the yard when I felt something pelt me in the back of my head.
"HEY!"
I saw Dani chuckling as she formed another snow ball to throw at me.
"Why would you do that?"
"Because it's fun." She smiled.
I smirked and started chasing her around the yard. I tackled her to the ground and started tickling her as she squealed.
"Don't! Stop!" she giggled.
"Say Kendall is sexy!" I taunted.
"Kendall is sexy!"
I smiled down at her and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"You look so beautiful right now."
She blushed and leaned up and we Eskimo kissed.
"Let's go inside. I'm freezing!" She pushed me off of her and ran inside.
I chased after her and removed all my snow gear as did she.
"I'm going to check on Emmy, you go make hot chocolate." I told her.
I went into the nursery and Emerson was sleeping. I smiled as I made sure she was warm. I didn't want her to get a cold. I went back into the living room as Dani was bringing in the hot chocolate. I sat on the couch and I pulled Dani into my lap.
"I loved today." I mumbled into her shoulder.
"Me too. It was very fun."
I kissed her ear and pulled her flush against me as I lay back on the couch. We were constantly fighting for dominance when it came to our tongues and who was nipping at whose neck. She started nibbling my earlobe and I groaned.
"Damn Dani."
She leaned into my ear, "Can you believe that this couch is where we conceived Emmy."
"My favorite couch in the world."
She smiled, "I just thought of the perfect Christmas gift for you."
"Can I get a hint?"
"No!" she smiled as she snuggled into my chest as I wrapped a blanket around us.
I slowly rubbed her back, "You sleepy?"
"No." She mumbled.
I softly hummed and I could feel her breathing evening out.
"You asleep baby?"
I didn't get a response as I too succumbed to sleep.
Today was the best family "date" ever.
