Adam had been home for one full day and was already bored. Fiona was off picking up art supplies to sketch for her clothing line. Adam and Skylar had the house to themselves.
"How does a walk sound to you?" Adam asks looking at Skylar
Skylar just stays in the position he was sitting in.
"I'll take that as a yes"
Adam puts the leash on Skylar and takes him outside.
-mmmm-
When Adam got back home Fiona was sitting by the window sketching.
"Where have you been all day?" She asks
"I took Skylar for a walk"
Skylar runs over to Fiona and she picks him up. He licks her cheek.
"Missed me huh?" She laughs
"Did you get some work done?" Adam asks as he kisses the other cheek.
"Yes, look at this!" She exclaims
She shows Adam some drawings. He flips through her book page by page.
"These are really good"
"Thank you" she replies quickly grabbing the book out of his hand before he reaches the last page. It was easy for her to snatch it out of his grip because of him being able to use only the one arm.
"What's on that page that you don't want me to see?"
"Nothing" she grins
"Really? Let me see it then"
"No" she laughs "it's something special" she continued
"It's your wedding dress isn't it?" He asks smiling
"Adam! Don't you dare go through my book to get a peek at it!" She laughs
Adam laughs.
"I bet it is beautiful... are you going to do my tux too?"
"Do you want me to?" Fiona questions
"Of course I do"
"Ok, I'll get started on that tomorrow... so tell me what the rules are for this bet"
"You really want to see who can hold out longer? Because I promise you will lose" Adam laughs
"Yes I want the specifics" she grins
"Ok. You asked for it. The first one to try and undress the other loses. Kissing and hugging don't count."
"Deal. What does the winner get?"
"What do you want?" Adam questions
"Could you teach me to drive?"
"Ok that's fair. Now if I win... I totally want a striptease. That'd be hot" Adam says
"Boys are so predictable" she says looking at Skylar
-mmmm-
A few hours later Adam heard a knock on the door. Fiona looked up and wondered who it could be.
Adam goes over to the door and when he opens it he sees Clare and Eli with some plastic bags.
"We figured you'd be hungry since your princess doesn't cook" Eli laughs
Adam grins widely, he was hungry but wasn't in the mood for takeout. So he hadn't mentioned dinner to Fiona yet, he was going to attempt to cook one-handed.
Adam moved over and let Eli and Clare in. Clare hugged Adam carefully as she walked in.
"You guys are the best." Adam stated
Fiona walked over and hugged both Clare and Eli
"What are you going to make?" Fiona asked
"Well Adam once taught me to make Arroz con gandules and fried pork chops." Eli answered
"Oh I cannot wait! Audra made that for us once and it was delicious." Fiona quickly stated
"You love my moms cooking don't you?" Adam asked
"I prefer your cooking" she answers while giving him a sexy stare and grinning
-mmm-
Adam was shoveling the food in to his mouth. He didn't realize how hungry he had been. A few days of hospital food made him miss the taste of real food.
"You guys got this perfect" he said in between spoonfuls of rice
"I'm glad you like it so much, but maybe you could slow down before you choke" Clare joked
"Sorry" he replied putting his spoon down. Adam was grinning but didn't notice how he had managed to clear his plate so quickly. He looked over at Fiona who had a smile on her face too. She had clearly been laughing at him. He would never get tired of her smile, it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. He noticed he had zoned out of the conversation while staring at Fiona and quickly looked back at Eli trying to figure out what the conversation was about.
"So its a girl?" Fiona asked excitedly
"Yeah. We found out today" Eli answered
"And we kind of have a question" Clare said nervously
"What?" Adam asked looking back and forth between Eli and Clare. They hesitated answering so Adam continued "whatever it is yes, i'd do anything for you guys"
"Well it involves both of you" Eli replied
"Would you be our baby's godparents?" Clare choked out
"Who better to take over if something happens to us?" Eli added
"We would love to!" Fiona answered with a smile that went from ear to ear.
Eli half smiled. He was excited that Fiona said yes but Adam hadn't answered yet. He seemed shocked.
"Look I know this is a touchy subject for you but if anything ever happened to me i'd expect you to step up and be the dad I couldn't be. You are my best friend. I'd only trust you." Eli stated looking directly at Adam
Adam got up from his chair. He walked around the table over to Eli. Everyone looked up at Adam. He grabbed Eli by the shoulder of his jacket and pulled him up into a hug.
"Of course I will. I'll protect her like she's my own" Adam answers with tears in his eyes. Eli smiles with tears in his eyes as well.
"If you tell anyone I cried I'll hunt you down" Eli joked
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I can take you" Adam joked
Note: What'd you guys think Eli was going to say? haha. Still don't know if i should double post today.
