Thank you so much for the reviews.
Jeff got out of his truck and looked around the parking lot. He shook his head, there she was leaning on her car.
Becki ran over hugging him, and trying to kiss him. "Jeff I knew you still loved me."
Jeff pushed her off him. "Get the fuck off me." he snapped.
Becki looked shocked. "Why did you ask to meet me?"
"Because I want to make it clear to you, that I love my wife, its over between us, don't come back to my house." Jeff said turning to get in his truck.
"Bullshit, we spent six years together, how can you just fall out of love with me, and fall in love with someone, you married her because you knocked her up." Becki said putting her hand on his arm.
Jeff shrugged off her hand and turned to look at her. "Becki, I was never in love with you, you were a bad habit, like smoking or crack..I married her because I love her, you better stay away, if you come back around, I'll have a restraining order taken out against you, I don't want my wife upset."
Becki was angry, how could he treat her like this. "Jeff you're in denial, when you get tired of her, I'll be here waiting for you, she's not your type anyway."
Jeff got right in her face. "Listen carefully Becki, we are done, you don't know shit about me and Kimi, stay the fuck away, or you'll regret it."
Becki watched him get in his truck and leave. Jeff was just blinded by the fact he was having a kid, he was that kind of guy, but after the baby got here, he would realize he didn't need his wife, he was loaded, he could get his kid and Becki would be right there waiting to play mommy, she had invested way to much time and effort into Jeff, she wasn't about to hand him over to another woman so easily.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff didn't know why he was so worried, Becki was a flake, but she had never been what he would call nuts. He just didn't think she was going to let this go.
Jeff was afraid she was going to start bugging Kimi, or trying to fill her head with bullshit. He had always meant to install a security gate out front, the entire property had a stone wall around it, he liked his privacy. He called the security company on the way home and arranged them to come put up the gate Monday. It would make him feel better to know Kimi was safe.
Jeff knew that Mark was taking off for a couple of months, Jeff had asked him to come stay with Kimi, Mark had agreed, he worried about Kimi as much as Jeff did. That was just a couple of weeks off they just had to figure out a way to tell Kimi, she loved mark, but Jeff knew she was going to think they were treating her like a baby.
Too bad, because with Becki lurking around, he would feel much better with Mark here.
Jeff walked in the house and laid his keys on the small table in the foyer. It was awfully quite, he figured Kimi was still asleep. He checked the basement , when she wasn't there, he went up to their bedroom. He frowned, where was she. He checked the babies room and she wasn't there either.
Jeff walked down the end of the hall, he figured she was in the room she fixed up for herself, she hung out in here sometimes..Jeff didn't bother her when she was in here, he figured it was her space, and he tried not to intrude on her, when she was in here. The door was open, and he stopped watching her.
Kimi was sitting with a picture album in her hands, just staring at it. Jeff could see the tears in her eyes. "Kimi whats wrong?" He asked going across the room and bending down beside her. Kimi looked up startled and slammed the album shut.
"Nothing." She said wiping the trace of tears from her face.
Jeff put his hand over hers. "Kimi, I can see you're upset , Talk to me."
Kimi shook her head and got up, walking over to put the album away in the drawer. Jeff felt like she was closing him out, he wasn't having it. He walked over putting his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder. "Kimi, I love you, you can talk to me about anything."
Kimi sighed and leaned back against him. "Not everything Sakima, I love you very much, but somethings are better to just let go."
The last thing she wanted was to hurt Jeff, telling him, she was thinking about Sin, that she missed him, would hurt him, he would think she didn't love him as much as Sin, although the truth was, she did. Her heart still missed Sin though, she had known him her whole life, he was intricately woven in her history, her culture and who she was as a person, she couldn't just close the book on him and forget him.
"Kimi, I'm your husband, theres nothing that you cant tell me." he said turning her in his arms and kissing her. Kimi returned his sweet kiss, she had no willpower when it came to Jeff and she really didn't want any. Jeff lifted his head to look in her eyes. "Sakima, things are so perfect between us, I want them to stay that way, theres been enough bad feelings between us to last a lifetime."
Jeff frowned, what could be wrong that would cause problems between them? "Kimi, unless you're planning on leaving me, I wont be upset, I want to know why you're upset?"
Kimi laid her head on his chest, was this to be a lesson in trust, could she share what she was feeling with him, without him getting mad or hurt. "I have been thinking about Sin a lot lately, wondering if he would be hurt that I moved on..I miss him." She said tears falling from her eyes again.
Jeff didn't say anything at first, he had done this to her, the way he had acted before, made her scared to open up to him, poor Kimi thought he was going to go off the deep end because she still thought about and missed Sin. "Kimi..its okay to miss him, you don't have to hide that from me, ever baby." He held her in his arms as she cried, rubbing her back.
Kimi was relieved he wasn't upset, things were so good between them that she didn't want to mess things up.
When she had calmed down a little Jeff took her hand and he led her over the the desk, he pulled the album from the drawer and handed it to Kimi. She looked at him confused. "C'mon."
Kimi followed him downstairs to the basement, he pulled her down beside him on the sofa. He took the album from her hand and opened it. He looked at the first page, there were pictures of Kimi and Sin as children. "You sure was cute little thing."
Kimi smiled. Jeff took her hand and asked her about the pictures and she slowly started opening up to him, there was a story behind each picture and he sat and listened as Kimi told him of her life with Sin, from childhood to marriage, about how she met Mark. The two sat close together and Jeff laughed at some of her stories, and held her when she cried over some of the pictures.
Kimi leaned against him her arms around him, she had never loved Jeff more than she loved him at this minute, suddenly all her doubts, even the little ones were gone. "Kimi you don't have to hide away your life with Sin, its a part of you." He said and laid the album on the table.
Kimi lifted her head to look at him. "I love you so much Sakima, you and our babies are everything to me."
Jeff nuzzled her neck. " I love you too Kimi."
He felt so much closer to her, he wanted her to share everything with him. "I bet you're getting hungry?"
Kimi grinned. "Yeah a little, but you know what, tomorrows Halloween, we need costumes, lets go out to eat, and we'll go pick out costumes."
Jeff grinned. "Sounds good..you go change, too cold for shorts out tonight."
Kimi got up and leaned over him kissing him. "Be back in a minute."
Jeff sat there for minute, thinking about how happy he was, Kimi made his life complete. He was going to do everything in his power to make sure things stayed good.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff laughed as Kimi showed him the costume she had picked. It was a white angel costume, that had little red devil horns with it. "What about you?"
Jeff grinned and showed her the black cape and the paints he bought. "I'm going for a vampire."
Kimi giggled. "You can bite my neck anytime."
Jeff grabbed her and started nipping at her neck and Kimi squealed with laughter.
Jeff shook his head. "I like biting your neck."
Jeff let go of her and they went to the front and paid for their stuff. They were heading out and Kimi spotted a Baskin Robbins. "I want a banana split."
Jeff grinned. "I don't know, thats falls under the junk category." Kimi stopped and glared at him. I spent all day eating fruit and I ate a whole salad with dinner..I want a banana split."
Jeff tried hard not to laugh. "Well I suppose, you have been good today."
Kimi took his hand dragging him toward the ice cream shop. "Sakima, you're way to bossy."
Jeff just squeezed her hand. "You love me anyway." Kimi grinned. "Yeah I do."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kimi sat on the big front porch smiling as she passed out candy. Looking at all the sweet little ones reminded her soon, she would have her own children to watch grow, she was eager to have her babies, she just knew things would only be even better when they got here, he and Jeff were going to be the happiest parents in the world.
Jeff made handsome vampire and she laughed as he talked to the kids before they hit the porch, most of the older kids knew who he was and were asking for autographs, which he happily signed. He was very good with children, they seemed to gravitate toward him.
Kimi thought about talking to Gil earlier, he had been so happy they were naming their little girl Ruby , and her parents had loved the names too. They had talked to Matt and he was going to be in town on Wednesday and stay a couple of days. Kimi truly wasn't alone that much, and she was actually very glad, even though she didn't let Jeff know, being pregnant, and knowing the risks involved with having twins, she was glad there was someone here most of the time, she had the same fears Jeff did, she just tried not to show them because she didn't want him worrying.
Kimi smiled at the little princess in front of her. "Here you go honey." She said dropping some candy in her pumpkin. "Happy Halloween." The little girl said before she ran back down the stairs.
Jeff came over and sat down beside her. "You having a good time?"
Kimi leaned over and kissed him. "Yeah, I love kids, I always wanted a houseful."
Jeff smiled. "Thats fine with me, the more the merrier." Jeff looked at the pile of empty candy papers beside Kimi's chair. "Uhh huh, look like someone been a bad girl, you been sneaking candy?"
Kimi looked down and realized she had left the small mountain of candy papers in plain site, she had meant to get rid of them. "Well I was hungry." was all she could think of to say.
"Yeah looks like it." Jeff said looking at the pile of papers. Kimi just shrugged. "I have cravings."
Jeff grinned and bent down to grab the trash. "I got a craving too." He said winking at her. Kimi blushed as he got up to throw the trash away.
They passed out candy to a few stragglers but then as it got later, things died down. Jeff turned off all the glowing ghost and pumpkins and climbed the front steps. "Okay my little angel, time for bed, you look tired." He said as he lifted her from the chair. Kimi wrapped her arms around him. "I need a bedtime snack."
Jeff walked in closing the door. "Sure, you can have some carrot sticks or maybe some celery or something."
Kimi made a face. "Gross, for bedtime, no way..I want some cookies, I got a whole bag of oreo's."
Jeff just carried her up the stairs and set her on their bed. "No way, this late and besides, you ate so much candy, its a wonder you're not bouncing off the walls already."
Kimi pouted. "Fine..I'm going to shower."
Jeff just grinned, it was hard not to give in to her, but every since she got pregnant all she craved was junk.
He heard the doorbell ring and headed back downstairs to the front door. He opened it to find Becki standing there. "What do you want?"
Becki leaned toward him. "You..I came to see if you wanted to go clubbing with me and some friends."
Jeff just looked at her like she was crazy. "Becki get lost, I told you not to come around here."
"Look Jeff, I know you think thats what you want, but you're going to realize I am the woman for you and I'll be right here waiting."
Jeff just shook his head, did she understand English. "Becki, I guess I'm going to have to get a restraining order or some shit, get lost."
Becki just smirked, she was not giving up so easily. Thats when Jeff heard the yelling and not in English either, Kimi was walking toward the door with fire in her eyes, probably cursing in Lakota. When she was beside Jeff she stopped. "Listen you little tart, stay away from Jeff."
Becki just gave Kimi a nasty look. "He loves me."
Kimi laughed. "Yeah, thats funny, last time I checked, I'm the one wearing his wedding ring, not you, He is my husband and its going to stay that way." Kimi said looking like she was ready to slap Becki."
He only married you because you're pregnant." Becki said leaning on the door way.
"He married me because he loved me, you slut, now get a clue and get the hell out of here." Kimi said.
Jeff put his hand on Kimi's arm, he didn't want her getting upset over Becki, he as going to have to do something, to keep Becki away, or there was going to be big trouble.
"I'll have him back..just wait and see..." Before she could finish her sentence or Jeff could interrupt her spew of words, Kimi had pulled back her fist and punched the blond so hard she feel back on the porch
Jeff was shocked and pulled Kimi behind him, he didn't want Becki jumping up and attacking her.
Becki got up and wiped the blood off her lip and stared at both of them. "You'll regret that."
Kimi just laughed. "I'm pregnant and I can kick your ass..stay away from my husband, you have tested my patience."
Jeff glared at Becki. "I'm telling you one more time, stay away, or you'll regret it."
Becki turned and went down the stairs and Jeff shut the door and turned to his wife. He took her hand and looked at it. "Does it hurt?"
"No, I'm fine." She said. Jeff pulled her in his arms. "I'm sorry Kimi, I told her yesterday, not to come around anymore, I don't know what her problem is."
"Its not your fault..But if she thinks I'm going to stand by and let her go after my man, she's crazy." Kimi said laying her head on Jeff's chest.
Jeff held her tighter. "Kimi, I don't want you trying to fight her, you know how difficult carrying twins are, You could lose them if you get hurt, promise you wont do anything like that again." he said his strong hands rubbing her back.
"I promise, I was just so mad."
Jeff took her hand and they started upstairs. "I know, I'm having a security gate put in tomorrow, and Mark is coming to stay with you in two weeks."
Kimi looked at him. "What do you mean stay with me?"
"He's taking some time off, he wont be going back to work until, I take my time off in march." Jeff said.
Kimi stopped right in the hallway. "So another words, you asked him to babysit me."
Jeff sighed and bent down picking his wife up in his arms. "Put me down." She snapped.
Jeff laid her on the bed and pulled off his sweats and climbed in beside her. "I'm not fighting with you Kimi, you need someone here, Mark loves you and wants to be here to help you, its settled."
Kimi rolled away from him. "I'm not a baby."
"Kimi I know that..But you are pregnant, and you need someone here all the time, Mark was taking some time off anyway, to let his knee rest, thats it, no point arguing." Jeff said and wrapped his arms around her.
Kimi turned to face him. "You boss me around to much I don't like it."
Jeff smiled then and kissed her and Kimi responded parting her lips for him ,as his tongue boldly stroked in and out of her mouth. Kimi groaned and pulled Jeff closer.
Jeff lifted his head and kissed her nose. "Kimi I will always do what I think is best for you, sometimes you might agree and sometimes you might not like it, but its not going to change anything, Mark is coming to stay."
Kimi was always a strong willed person even as a child, but she always gravitated toward strong men, Sin, Mark and now Jeff, she could hardly complain, when its the type of man she deep down craved. "Okay." She said finally and snuggled into his arms. Jeff smiled as she settled into sleep. He just hoped Becki had got the hint, he would feel better when Mark was here with her all the time. Mark wouldn't let Becki near her, he knew that. He hated to leave her Tuesday, he knew Matt would be here Wednesday.
With the security gate in, no one could get on the property anyway. Two weeks wasn't that long, then he could work in peace knowing Kimi was fine.
