Hey sorry for the delay. I tried to post this sooner but my account was frozen because of the message that I posted about my story being stolen, and then I lost the uploaded chapter... It would be appreciated if anyone would tell me if this chapter is posted else where. But look on the bright side, because I had to re-write this chapter, and seriously got a muse it turned out pretty well! R&R

Chapter 20: "Feel this moment in you."
The drive back to Newport was a silent one, on account of everyone worrying of what was to come, and the fact it was getting late.
Marissa looked down at Madison who was in her car seat next to her. She could never let Luke find out about them . EVER. They were her daughters, she and Ryans. Nobody was going to take them away from either of them. Ryan is legally their father even if their DNA doesn't match.
Ryan stared blankly into space, with Pipers finger wrapped gently around his own. He was worried about he and Marissa. but he knew that they had both gone through too much to not make it work, or try at least. And regardless of what happens with he and Marissa Ryan knew that he would always be there for his daughters. he would give them the father that they had always drempt of. When Pipers light brown eyes looked up at him, and she smiled showing her mothers dimples, he knew that it would be okay.
It was eight when they arrived home. There was a short reunion for the group in the living room when they entered the house, and then Ryan and Marissa went back to the pool house to relax from the long trip.
Ryan sat Piper and Madisons carriers on the bed and then stepped back and looked at them.
"They're both asleep." Marissa commented.
Together they unloaded each childs belongings and then laid each in their respective cribs.
"What now?" Ryan asked
"Sleep." Marissa said leading him to bed.
Marissa awoke hours later that night from not feeling the warmth of Ryans arms around her. She sat up slowly in bed becoming alarmed. then she saw it. Ryan was in the doorway across from the bed, gently swaying from side to side. He wore only his red plaid pajama pants that Marissa got him for Christmas the year before, now it being Summer are terribly out of season. She was wearing his trademark wife beater. Based on the pink pajamas Marissa saw peeking out, she knew that he was holdig Piper in his arms. Her small head rested gently in the crook of his arm. Ryan muscles flexed as he held her, hiding her protectively behind them, . Piper being smaller than his muscle.
The moonlight glowed and reflected off the pool onto the two. Marissa knew that she would never forget this moment.
She slowly made her way over to him.
"Hey." She said yawning
"Hey." He said smiling at Marissa and then back down at the now sleeping Piper. "I figured I'd better not wake you." He said.
Marissa nodded.
Ryan gestured for Marissa to hold her daughter. It was times like these that she was worried that she was going to ruin the "moment". But that never happened with she and Ryan. Or if it did it was not awkward. at least any more.
Marissa took Piper from him and then laid her down on her crib. As she looked down at the girls she felt strong gentle arms wrap around her waist, and began to kiss her neck.
Marissa pulled Ryan over to the bed, and the laid herself on top of him.
"Are you sure?" He asked
He had never really put any pressure on Marissa. Ecpecially knowing her past with Luke.
"Yeah." She said looking into his eyes.
"Really bec-"
"Ryan." She said putting her finger on his lips. "it's okay."
With that Ryan helped her out of her . his wife beater. Suddenly they were broken apart by a quiet high pitched cry.
"It's Piper again." Ryan said
"How do you know?" Marissa asked
"It's her cry. Madison's is lower."
Marissa nodded. She suddenly became self conscious and tossed her shirt back on, as Ryan went to again tend to Piper.
He returned minutes later to the bed with her.
"I think she's hungry." He said offering Marissa the baby.
Marissa took the child from his arms and lifted up her shirt a bit exposing her breast. ironically where Ryan had just been.
Piper took Marissa happily.
"I could have sworn that kid shot me an evil glare." Ryan said
Marissa laughed.
"Do you need help?" Ryan asked her
"Yeah actually, do you mind propping up the pillows behind me?" Marissa leaned forward, and then back after Ryan helped her get situated.
Then Madison let out her lower pitched wail.
"I'll handle that." Ryan said, picking up his daughter, and grabbing a bottle from the mini fridge. which was once a mini bar, but now filled with baby bottles. Seeing how Marissa was currently preoccupied. although unfortunately not by him. Ryan opted for the Winnie the Pooh bottle for Madison.
"Lets see here." He said placing the nipple in her mouth, and then returning to bed.
Marissa was now sound asleep with Piper nestled in the crook of her arm asleep as well and Ryan had Madison slowly dozing on his chest.
"Ryan?" Marissa said in her sleepy state
"Yeah."
"'S gonna be awhile before we can finish what we started huh?"
Ryan didn't answer.
"But it's worth it huh?" Marissa continued.
"Completely." Ryan said stroking Madisons head, and then himself drifting off to sleep.
~ HEY~
There is one more chapter left of this story but a sequel is VERY likely. I need to know the ages you want Piper and Madison to be, and any other requests, . Seth and Summer. Seth and Dylan. More Jimmy/Kirsten/Sandy? Ryan and Marissa go to college? If so where? A funny line that you would like either of the kids to say? Something that you would like to be commented on?
NEXT CHAPTER:
- Where is Luke
- Will they finally get it on
- More Seth goodness
- Dyl, Summer, Marissa bonding time.
