Chapter 28: A 'First' they didn't count on
December 11, 2026
After a few moments of silence as they watched Max rolling on his back in the yard, they smiled, before Bella cleared her throat and spoke as she turned in his arms so her back was against his leg again. "Ok, spill."
He asked with a raised eyebrow. "Spill what?"
She smiled as she asked. "Who was your first kiss?"
When Bella saw that special sparkle in his eyes, a look she thought was only reserved for her, her heart sank a little, thinking it must have been some first kiss, then gets a surprise when he spoke softly, lovingly even. "You." She was about to open her mouth when he continued while looking over at the play structure. "10 years ago, the day your uncle came here for the first time. We were playing a game of tag with Rick and Elizabeth, and there was a moment in time when it was just us behind the play structure, and..."
Bella cuts him off, making a small gasp, remembering that moment. "You kissed me." She cleared her throat before continuing. "Although, it was more like a peck, before you shyly ran off." They looked at one another, and she had tears in her eyes. "We were so young, I thought that maybe it was a dream that I had made up, but it really happened."
As she placed her hand on her lips, he cupped her cheek with a nod and smile as he ran his thumb up and down it as he spoke with emotion. "It really did, sweetheart."
They took a moment to savor that memory before she cleared her throat again before smirking again. "Ok, now who was your real first kiss."
No hesitation, he responded sincerely. "It was real to me."
She chuckled. "Come on, you know what I mean." When his looked turned to shy, she raised an eyebrow. "So, there really was someone else? How many others?"
"Bella..."
She cuts him off, softly. "Please, be honest with me."
He nodded. "One other." He cleared his throat before explaining. "It was in Middle School at Jason's first true girl/boy party, we were playing truth and dare, and I choose dare."
Bella nodded in understanding before asking. "Who was it with?"
Wanting to be truthful, he didn't hesitate. "Madison Hill."
Bella took a deep breath and said softly. "I can see why you were reluctant to say who it was. The head cheerleader, the most popular girl, not only in our grade but the whole school, the most beau..."
He cuts her off with smile. "Now, that's where I have to stop you, because that title goes to you, hands down, no debate there." Bella looked down shyly, and he lifted and placed his finger on her chin to left her head back up before cupping her cheek again and speaking with emotion. "Besides, that kiss happened before she became all that, and that kiss told me something."
"What?"
His eyes gave that sparkle again as he answered. "I felt more in our peck at six years old than I did in that moment with her at twelve, so I knew 100% that there was no one else I wanted to be with, and I didn't care how long I had to wait for her to come back to me."
Seeing the honesty in his eyes, she nodded with a smile. "Good answer."
He smiled wider, then asked after clearing his throat. "Now, it's your turn."
She raised an eyebrow. "My turn?"
He chuckled. "Yes, it's a two way street, here. I told you my little secret, now you have to tell me yours."
She bit her lip before saying sweetly. "Would you believe me if I said no one?"
He shook his head. "Nope, not buying it." He then softly spoke as he ran his thumb over her lips. "I can't see any boy not wanting to try and kiss you." Then he cleared his throat and shook his head a second later, rethinking of wanting to know who else had kissed the woman he loved. "You know what, never mind, I don't want to know."
As he pulled his hand back, she took it and slipped her fingers through his and cupped his cheek with her other hand and spoke softly. "You're the only one that truly matters, ok?" She then finished with bright eyes. "Besides, we have plenty of other firsts we can share together that no one can take from us."
He nodded before speaking with emotion once again. "And I'm looking forward to everyone of them, no matter how small or big the moment is."
"Me too."
They kissed softly before placing their foreheads together and closing their eyes.
When they opened them back up, they got up from the deck steps and headed inside the house, ready to join the rest of his family and her aunt and uncle for a family movie.
A few days later
In their backyard, laying on top of a blanket, Sara was laying on her back while her legs were tangled with her husband's, who was laying on his side with his head placed on the palm of his hand as they looked at one another with smiles,
just taking in a simple moment together, then he cupped her cheek and ran his thumb up and down it before he leaned down and kissed her, she responded instantly, but knowing they were outside, where anybody could see them, they kept things as PG as they could.
William walked into the kitchen to see his girlfriend looking out the window with a smile on her face, so he asked as he walked up to her. "What are you looking at?" Before she could reply, he saw his parents, while still in PG mode, making out in the yard, then he looked wide-eyed and turned his back so it was facing the window and shook his head. "Warn me next time before you let me see that again, please."
Bella chuckled. "I have a feeling that's not the first time you've seen that?"
He shook his head again. "Nope." Then he smirked as he looked at her. "Although, it is the first time I saw it with you."
She chuckled again while shaking her head this time. "I'm sure that's one of our firsts you didn't have in mind."
He took her hand and tugs gently on it so she could move and stand in front of him before wrapping his arms around her waist. "Not exactly." He then sighed. "But, seeing them happy is something I'm never taking for granted." When Bella nodded sadly, he cupped her cheek and continued softly. "I'm sorry you never got to see that loving side of your parents, and I promise you, I'll try and make you as happy as my parents are."
She smiled with tears in her eyes as she whispered. "I already am, not only being with you, but being in this house makes me happy, being near your family makes me happy."
He smiled with his eyes bright. "I'm glad."
He kissed her forehead before bringing her in his arms, silently promising her that one day his family will become her family.
While in their embrace, Isabella walked into the kitchen and asked. "Have you seen mom, or dad?"
As Bella eased out of her boyfriend's embrace, he nodded with a smile. "Yeah, outside." Isabella nodded in return, but before she turned to walk out of the room, he smirked. "I should give you warning to proceed with caution."
She stopped and looked at her brother with wide-eyes, understanding the meaning. "Are they at it again?" Both Bella and William chuckled with a nod, and Isabella shook her head and smirked. "Jeeze, who are the teenagers around here?" Then she gave them an eyebrow. "And you two better not get any ideas, I don't want to be walking around the house wearing a blindfold, just so I don't be scarred for life."
After another round of chuckling, William asked after clearing his throat. "So, what's up? Why do you need mom or dad?"
His younger sister sighed. "I have to meet a few friends, we are finishing up a group project that's due tomorrow."
William nodded in understanding before replying. "Why don't you get what you need, and I'll take you."
Isabella asked with a smile. "Really?"
"Yeah, and why don't you get Katie down here so we can go out for a little ice cream before I take you where you need to go."
She gets a wider smile with a nod. "Ok." Before rushing out of the room.
When it was just William and Bella, William looked at his girlfriend, who was giving him an 'awe' look, so he asked. "What?"
She smiled wide. "You just have to be the best brother in the world, don't you?"
He shyly smiled as he asked after clearing his throat. "Well, I was kind of hoping boyfriend would fit in that sentence as well."
She cupped his cheek. "Already there." They share a quick kiss before pulling back. "I'll met you at the vehicle."
William nodded before Bella walked out of the room so she could go upstairs and put on some shoes while William walked towards the kitchen island so he could write his parents a note telling them what's going on so they wouldn't be worried, then he left the kitchen to find his dog, Max, so he could join them.
About five minutes after the kids had left the house, Sara and Grissom walked into the house chuckling, then Sara shouted. "Kids, what do you want for dinner?"
When she didn't get a reply from anywhere in the other rooms, or didn't hear Max, she was about to head towards the stairs, when Grissom, who had walked into the kitchen and saw the note, spoke. "Honey, they aren't here."
Sara walked into the kitchen and took the note and read what it said before they looked at one another, then he started to smile as he cupped her cheek before speaking with passionate tone. "We seemed to have an empty house for a bit."
Sara wrapped her arms around her husband's neck before bringing him closer. "That we do, Dr. Grissom, any ideas on what we should do with this time?"
He leaned forward and off to the side so he could kiss her neck before he whispered against her skin. "I have a few."
When his lips reached her ear, he kissed it before whispering in it, making her close her eyes as her knees almost buckled, but he had a hold of her waist as he continued speaking, then after he pulled back, and they looked into each other's eyes, she spoke with passion in hers. "I like where this is going, I even have a few ideas myself."
He smiled as he took her hand. "Then we best get started, I want to 'hear' every detail."
She chuckled as they walked out of the room with her hand still in his as they headed up to their bedroom, taking advantage of what alone time they had.
AN: More to come. Thanks for reading, and please review.
