Chapter thirty six December 2010 - January 2011
We or should I say decided to do something different for Christmas this year and take everyone back to Australia for an Australian Christmas, mum was so excited as I haven't had Christmas there in over ten years. We're also incorporating it into our usual post Christmas holiday which means everyone is coming even Mingus, which made Norman very happy as he wasn't wanting to leave Mingus before Christmas.
The walking dead was a huge hit, Norman is amazing as Daryl Dixon just like I knew he would be.
We had an early Christmas in New York as I did want to take everything with us, thou that being said there are a couple of extra special things in the bags for the day so they get something from us. I bought a house or at least I bought the plans and land for a house in Serenbe it will be a beautiful Eco friendly seven bedrooms plus an extra room to use as a dark room for Norman house. Norman told me to pick what I wanted which wasn't that hard big kitchen, nice dinning room, big lounge slash cinema room and a huge master bedroom and good size rooms for the kids, but he doesn't know I've actually picked anything out I think he still thinks I'm looking.
The flight was good, still long as hell but it's not so bad, I fell asleep leaning against Norman who was holding Conner, and the kids were in the aisle opposite us.
"Hey wake up Del, Conner needs a feeding."
"Man was I sleeping? What up little man you hungry." I undid my shirt and started to breast feed him.
"Ma'am do you want a blanket to cover up?"
"No, I don't, I'm not doing anything I shouldn't or would you rather I let him cry because I shouldn't feed him cause you might be offended not that you can see anything."
"Delta, calm down, we're fine we don't need anything but we won't be long."
"I hate people who are like that, I never realised how hard it is for women to breast feed, I hate the looks people give me."
"Don't pay any attention to them, I don't."
"I swear they think I'm walking around with my breast hanging out."
"Ma'am I'm sorry I've made you feel uncomfortable."
"No it's fine I shouldn't get upset over it, he won't be long."
"Well he's a cutie by the way. What's he's name."
"Thank you. He's name is Conner. Norman, I have something for you."
"What you got babe?"
"I can't keep it a secret anymore, I have something for you." I get up and grab my bag.
,What is it?"
"Open it." He opens it.
"Are these plans for a house?"
"Yeah I found a block of land in Serenbe and I found this house plan it's seven rooms plus one room for you to use as a dark room plus the basement can be turned into a studio if you desire they start building in a week. I think it has everything we would want I hope you don't mind me making this decision."
"You got me a dark room and a studio?"
"Yeah, I wanted it to be your home as well."
"Oh honey it's wonderful, how did you keep this a secret?"
"With much difficulty I wanted to tell you and share this with you but I wanted to surprise you."
"Hey kids check this out, look at the house mum found us. Do I even wanna know how much it is?"
"Nope, it costs enough cause it's an Eco friendly home, but I still have lots in the bank, from the sale of the other so it's good."
"You're amazing Delta. Thank you for this, and for thinking of me."
"Cause I think of you Norman, you're the most important person to me after the kids, please don't offence to that, but I'd die for all these kids."
"I'm not offended Delta, I'd expect nothing less, you're the perfect mom to our kids, all of them. I love you, a dark room del that's awesome."
"I want this house filled with pictures nice ones honey not the road kill you've been taking not that they're bad just not for family consumption."
"Yeah I get that. Come here I love you pregnant lady, how are the girls doing anyway?"
We found out we were having girls like I thought all along before we left. Norman was super excited about it to say the least but not nearly as excited as Kass to be having two more sisters.
"Yeah they're okay. This one's been kicking up a storm, while lefty has been really quite then they'll swap."
"Hey girls be nice to your mum she's not a football you know. Hey what did I just say righty? No more kicking. Oh you're gonna be difficult even before your born."
"Nah they're gonna be perfect like their dad. Nora and so far unnamed twin will be a good combo of us like this little man. What about Tate for the other one Tate Judith and Nora Marianne what you think?"
"I think they work. So hello Nora and Tate Reedus."
"Hey kids we decided on names Tate and Nora."
"I like them mum."
"Yeah they are good names dad."
"How are you two doing over there?"
"Yeah we're playing each other Mingus is beating me."
"Yeah these Reedus boys are pretty good kiddo, this one Conner will probably beat us as well. You take after me hon and I'm pretty hopeless."
"No you're not mum."
"The rest of the flight was uneventful."
I rented a house for the week, won't have what happened last time happen again with my folks hearing us, Norman loves me pregnant I think it actually kicks his sex drive up a notch it still twice a day it gets a little hard with a toddler wondering around he's very advanced he can climb out of his cot. He's getting more talkative he can now say kitty, mum, dad, Mingus has been trying to teach him Ming he can say min it's kind of a game between the kids to see which one can get him to say their name kass isn't having as much luck but he can say ka but she's trying.
I asked for the realtor to see if they can get a tree set up for us which they said they could, the place looked good especially so as it had a kids room, so Conner was all set. We had a lovely room, more girly then I'm used to but hey, it was lovely.
"Hey Del, this nice. Norman walks up to me and hugs me placing his hands on my belly. "So you sleepy or wanna go for a swim?"
"So you want to swim with a whale?"
"I don't see a whale I see a beautiful woman carrying my children."
"What did I do to deserve you? You are wonderful Norman. Well I did pack my famous black swimmers, what am I going to do when I can't wear them any more."
"Hell babe you could wear them till you're ready to pop."
"I meant when the swimmers die it's going to suck to have to buy a new one, this one means so much to me."
"Hmmm that would be a shame I still remember seeing you in it that day you opened the door. I thought you were incredibly sexy and best of all you had no idea, you were and still are amazing. If you'd told me five years ago I'd be a dad to nearly five I'd never believe you. Now can't imagine my life without them, I feel complete."
"Thou that being said I'd rather "sleep" with you now then swim later you up for a quickie?"
"Oh his up, can't you feel him?" As he pushes himself against me.
"Hmmm I can, so what you going to do with him?"
"Well seeming you'd be on top what are you going to do with him?"
I turn around and shove him in the bed "oh I don't know this and that." Taking off my top and skirt. "you're in so much trouble Norman it's been way too long."
"That's it del, get up here, climb on baby." As his getting undressed, unfortunately with his shoes still on he couldn't take his pants off all the way but hey that's okay we knew this had to be quick seeming the kids were outside. I was so wet I could feel it, as I climbed onto the bed straddled him and slowly lowered myself into him.
"Oh you tease del."
"Who me a tease? Never."
"Yeah you, that's it baby take it all. I love you."
"Love you too. Oh that's it, just a little but longer babe, don't stop."
"Get on your knees hon I wanna take you from behind."
"Mmmm I like that." As I get into position, and he moves behind me, I give him a lustful look back at him.
"Oh if you keep on looking like that Del, you're gonna be in trouble." As he plunges into me. Oh god I've missed it like this, he reaches around my waist and finds the sweet spot it's like a firework explodes inside me. "That's it Del, come for me"
"Don't stop, it's ... So... Fucking ... Good. Oh god oh Norman oh don't stop oh keep doing that, love it love you."
"I can't last much longer you're like a vice on him, babe so good."
With one final thrust he emptied himself in me, god it love that feeling, I think I'll miss that if he gets the snip, I'll get myself done instead. He collapsed on me, and we fell sideways onto the bed.
"Oh god Del, that was amazing. I love you.
"I love you too, I've made a decision, I'm going to get fixed instead of you, I don't want to miss feeling you cum in me, I love the feeling."
"Are you sure that's what you want?"
"Yeah, I'll miss some of our fun if you get fixed, you won't be able to you know on me anymore. Can't have that now can we."
"I thought you didn't like it?"
"No I do, I wish you'd do it more."
"Yeah then I will from now on."
"Ah babe we should really find the kids, we've been too long, it was supposed to be a quickie wasn't it?"
"I thought it was."
I got dressed and headed out of the bedroom. I found Kass playing with Conner with Mingus' head still stuck in his game.
"Okay, kids what are we going to do today? I'm wide awake now so, we have nan and pop coming over tonight, for dinner."
"What's for dinner, del?"
"I'm not sure, Ming. Mum's bringing everything so I'm not sure but I did ask for potato salad, cause I miss her potato salad. But I think it'll be barbecue, but I'm not sure."
"I like your potato salad del, it's not quite as good as mum's but it's nice."
"Well if you like mine, my mum's better. And just so you know I'm not offended by you saying you're mum is a better cook, I've tasted her food it's very good."
"You like my mum?"
"Yeah, I've always liked your mum, even before I met her, I count myself very lucky to have her as a friend. I like to think we have a really good relationship all thing considered."
"What do you mean all things considered?"
"Sometimes mum's and step mum's don't get along, that would have made me sad if your mum didn't like me cause I've always liked her since I was little. Your mum was my favourite supermodel."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I always wanted hair like her but unfortunately this is what I was given, dark hair never really looked good on me."
"I like you're hair, I won't tell mum unless you wanted me too about that."
"Thanks Ming. Now who's up for a swim."
"Man, mum you're belly is huge."
"Hey that's not nice and yes it is but I don't wanna be reminded of it. I'm trying to be good, I'm not allowed to over do it. Norman keep an eye on me, I really don't wanna gain too much weight."
"I will babe, I also organise a trainer like we did for this one. Isn't that right Conner."
"Dad, dad."
"You know you really need to keep saying mum, kiddo."
"Or Ming try to say Ming."
"Min"
"Way to go Conner. Na na nana Kass he's gonna say Mingus before your name."
"That's enough kids, it doesn't mean he loves one of you more than the other, your name Ming is a bit easier that's all."
Knock knock
"I'll get it. Hi mum, dad."
"Is that really how you answer the door, look at you, look at those babies. You look good."
"Hey darling how's my girl? You look really good sweetheart."
"Thanks dad. Come in, please tell me you made potato salad I've had such a craving for it."
"Yes hon I did."
"You know I only invited you over for that. No only kidding."
"Oh wow look how much Conner grown since September he's so big Gordon. Hello my beautiful boy. Hello Mingus how are you. And come here Kassandra I've missed you. Why do you guys have to live so far away."
"Well if I hadn't these little ones would exist mum. So there's a reason for everything."
"When did you get so mature?"
"Mum I'm thirty three I would hope by now and nearly four kids later I would be mature, thou that being said I don't see much hope in Norman being mature but I wouldn't have you any other way babe."
"Sorry what was that I wasn't listening."
"See what I mean exactly like the kids sometimes it's like having another kid, but I wouldn't change it for the world. But I feel like I'm sitting on top of the world. Oh god I need paper right now."
"Why do you need paper?"
"I've just been inspired I'll forget otherwise. I quickly start to write the words are flowing from me I have a chorus."
"So get up, stand up
What you waiting for?
Let's go, jump in
We gotta live like live in to begin
We've got a love like no one knows
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Sitting on top, sitting on top of the world
Saved me from me, gave me everything I need
You'll be forever in my heart
So get up, stand up
What you waiting for?
Let's go, jump in
We gotta live like live in to begin
We've got a love like no one knows
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Sitting on top, sitting on top of the world"***
Sitting on top of the world - Delta Goodrem
I'm singing as I write it.
"It's very catchy wouldn't you rather spend time with your kids."
"Nah, you guys never see them." It takes me three hours to pen the full song now just need music fuck I don't have a piano here. I do have my virtual one on my iPad I might be able to get away with that for the time being.
"Now come on del, that's enough it's getting late and you've missed dinner, you need stop that's not a request that's an order."
"God what time is it?"
"8 and your folks want to go home you've hardly seen them you've been cooped up in here all afternoon and I don't want you missing meals especially with the twins it's not right."
"Why didn't you disturb me I would have stopped."
"I know better not to stop when the juices are flowing it happens to me all the time and you never disturb me. It's the least I can do."
"No next time tell me I lose track of time I thought it was thirty minutes."
"Who writes a song in thirty minutes?"
"Ah Michael hutchence wrote I need you tonight in ten minutes so it's do-able."
"I hate that band."
"And just so you know I love them, always have always will, I grew up listening to them, fuck if I had one percent of his stage presence I'd be amazing."
"That was probably due to all the drugs he took, you don't need it you are amazing on stage. Oh I see it's a sore spot. You can like them, I don't that's all."
"Okay, when have you seen me perform? I don't remember you seeing me."
"You tubed you, your great Del. come let's get out of here."
"I'm so sorry mum, I lost track of time."
"I should be used to it by now delta, you've always lose track of time when you get inspired. Kids did you know delta used write songs when she was your age, Kassandra she wrote her first song she released 'born to try' when you were what twelve darling?"
"Yep, I had no life, I was either writing or playing the piano. I want better for these kids. Not I that you guys pushed me I pushed myself. I want them to be kids for a little while. Ok so where's the food I'm so hungry, I didn't notice it before."
"Norman see that don't let her get too involved, she loses track of time, if she had been by herself she wouldn't have stopped."
"Yes ma'am I will take good care of her."
"I know you do, now I just have to get you to marry her and I'd be even happier, instead of just knocking her up ok mister."
"I will eventually, don't know when but I do want to, I promise Judith, but it won't be for a while Delta reckon in years or more so who knows, I hate that can she see into the future sometimes, kinda spoils spontaneity when she does stuff like that.
"Yeah I know, you know she knew that her first album was going to be big, no one believed her, that idiot she was with at the time keep telling her it wasn't going to happen, but she never doubted herself, I like that about my daughter, I hope she never loses it her belief in herself. I also want her to get back to work, it's all good for her to play mum but I don't think she'll be really happy unless she's working unless she's changed since she's had kids."
"I think she has, in fact I know she has grown since we met, but there's still the same Delta that I met in there."
"Hey, are you two talking about me. Oh mum seriously this is awesome for this alone I could move back here, but I love what I have in the states. I'm sorry can we do this again. Maybe tomorrow come to your place. "
"Yeah sure babe."
Unfortunately not the day that I thought it would be but it was nice to see my family.
