A New Beginning

Chapter 25- Unexpected questions.

Alyssa's POV

Tonight, we are taking Sophia home! I was so happy for her. Shes only five years old and shes spent the past year in hospital fighting for her life. Now shes finally coming home to be with her parents. Its such an amazing feeling.

I couldnt keep the smile of my face as Sophia ran through the front door of our house. She ran straight to the sofa and flopped herself onto it. She was still weak but that wasnt stopping from being happy. From being herself.

It was about nine when we got home. We had to talk to Sophia's doctor for a few hours to sort out her medication and how much she had to have etc. But now we were home. Together. Home never actually felt like home without Sophia. And now it feels warm and a place I want to be. All because my five year old daughter was here, jumping around on the sofa.

'You want anything to eat, trouble?' Justin smiles as he crouched down near the sofa next to Sophia. She thought her a second before shaking her head and yawning loudly. 'Sleep maybe?' Justin laughed.

'I tired.' Sophia says as she rubs her eyes. Justin picked her up and put her on his hip. I gave her a kiss before walking upstairs with Justin. We went into Sophia's room and put her into her bed. It only felt like yesterday that we were putting her in a cot. Now she had her own bed!

Justin lay her down and pulled up her Barbie covers to her chin. He kissed her gently on her head before she closed her eyes and her breathing went steady. Justin stood up straight and put his arms around me. We stayed there for a moment, looking at our daughter sleeping peacefully in her own bed for the first time in months. It was hard to believe that just last week we thought we were going to lose her.

Justin nodded to me, a signal to go into our room. He followed me out of Sophia's room and shut the door quietly behind him. Once we were in our room, we both flopped down on the bed, exuasted.

'God, that felt amazing.' Justin sighed as he wraps his arms around my waist. 'Putting her into her own bed...amazing.'
'I know.' I smile. 'Soon she'll be in high school, bringing friends over, bringing b-'
'Dont say boyfriends.' Justin laughs
'It'll happen.' I say before kissing Justins lips. It tasted different from the other kisses we had shared in the past few weeks. It tasted of happiness and joy. It just made me want more.

'You know..' I say inbetween heated kisses. 'One of us has to give her the birds and the bees talk someday, too.'
'Thats your job.' Justin mumbles against my lips. I laugh and look at him. 'Why me?'
'Because you're the girl!' Justin laughs before bringing his lips back to mine. He grabs my waist and brings me ontop of him. I straddle him and I ruffle my hands in his hair. His kisses trail down to my neck, which he knows drives me crazy.

'I think maybe we need to have the birds and the bees talk.' He muffles against the skin of my neck. I moan and press my weight against him. 'Maybe a different kind.' I say before bringing my head down to kiss him. He smiles against my lips and pushes my body of his so he was hovering over me.

That night was amazing. The way we had no care in the world. It was probably the best night ever. And to be honest, it was the best sex that we have had.

I woke up to the sound of banging around in the kitchen. My eyes shot open and the first thing I thought was 'intruder' but then I knew it would have been Sophia. I looked at the clock beside my bed which told me it was mid day.

Beside me, Justin stretched and wrapped his arms around my bare chest. He kissed my neck lightly and mumbled, 'Morning.'

I smiled and turned to face him. God, he looked gorgeous in the mornings. I ran my hand through his hair and kissed him.

'Soph's downstairs.' I tell him when the kiss broke. He smiled widely before kissing my head and jumping out of bed. He made his way towards the door before I stopped him.

'Justin..' I say as I prop myself up in bed with my elbow. 'Clothes.' Justin looked down at himself and made an 'ah' sound before grabbing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

I got out of bed and put on my silk pyjama pants and a white tank top. When me and Justin were both decent, we made our way downstairs where we found Sophia watching Peppa Pig on the TV. Since when could she turn the telly on?

'Morning baby.' Justin says as he sits down on the sofa next to Sophia. Sophia gasped and climbed onto his knee. 'I thought you were going to be asleep for ever!' Sophia exclaimed.

Justin raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth in a shocked expression. 'Me? Why would I ever do that to you?' He started tickling her, which made Sophia cry with laughter. He didnt tickle her too fiercly because she had only just had an operation on her stomach.

Justin picked up Sophia and followed me into the kitchen where I lite up the cooker ready to make some bacon and eggs. Justin put Sophia in her high chair and gave her a few grapes to eat. Justin came up behind me and laced his arms around my waist and kissed my neck whilst watching me fry eggs.

'You fry eggs good.' Justin says in a sexy tone. I punch him playfully in the arm the best I could without taking my eyes of the eggs.

A few seconds passed before Sophia churped up. 'Daaadddyyyyyy?'
Justin turned around and sat opposite Sophia at the kitchen table. 'Whats up, cheeky?'
'You know last night?'
'Yeah..?'
'What were you and Mummy doing?' Sophia says. I turn around and look at Justin who was raising his eyebrows at our daughter. 'What do you mean?'
'I mean I heard noices last night coming from yours and Mummys room!' Sophia wasnt even looking at Justin. She was looking down at her grapes and rolling them around.

Justin paused as he stared at our daughter before saying, 'What sort of noices?'
'I dont really know.' Sophia cocks her head. 'Daddy was saying "Awyssa Awyssa" and Mummy was saying "Jusin, Jusin, OOOO" Like dat.'

Justin's eyes grew wider as his mind worked out what Sophia was saying. I however, burst out laughing.

'What were the noices?' Sophia says. She didn't seem to be taking this as a joke.

'I think we'll be having that birds and the bees take soon that we thought.' I tell Justin before turning around to put the bacon into the pan.

'Where you playing tennis?' Sophia frowns.
'Why would we be playing tennis?' Justin smirks.
'Because on the telly, the people who plays tennis say "OOH" everytime they hit the ball and thats what sounds I heared last night so where you playing tennis?'

Laughter erupted from me. I had to hold myself up on the kitchen counter so I didnt fall on the floor. I didnt care if the bacon burnt, I turned around to find Justin giving me a stern look but a smirk was tugging at his lips. I personally thought this was helarious.

'No, hunny..' Justin says as he clears his throat. 'Me and Mummy were...wrestling..'
'But you always told me not to fight!' Sophia groans.
Thats when I jumped in. 'Yeah but Mummys and Daddys like us are aloud to...wrestle... because we love each other very much.'

'But why were you fighting if you love each other?'
'Because thats what Mummys and Daddys do.' Justin says. 'I love you Mummy very, very much so when we wrestle like that it shows that we love each other.'

'Oh right.'

And that seemed to be the end of that conversation. It cheered me up, I have to admit. Everytime I thought about it I just wanted to burst out laughing. The way Sophia acted so serious and the way Justins expression instantly changed when she asked about the 'noices.' Ah well, I guess me and Justin are just going to have to... keep it down in future.

Bit of a random chapter but just wanted to show the family together again but wanted to add a funny moment :) Please review! xx
