Authors Note- I am practically insane... No wait I am insane. So I didn't post the fic yesterday, sorry. Here it is today. i don't know. I like this chapter. I think its the knot tier (tire?) of the whole fic... well thus far... Maybe I don't. Maybe I think the chapter where Abby gets run over by a D MAC truck is the tying of the knot. I don't know lets ask Liby... Me: OKay what do u think is the knot tire of the fic? Liby: huh Me: what chapter do u think brings the fic together? Liby: i dunno... Well there u go folks... Nothing yet... Wait till they get Married.... ;)
Chapter 30
I venture into the brightly lit kitchen. The windows are all open and the sun breaks through them. Birds can be heard singing in the background and all of it has to be broken my Sebastian screaming my name. His little feet hit the floor as fast as they can and I'm instantly paralysed. I love him to death, but he's going to be my death. I see Carter's arms sweep him off his feet before he practically jumped on me and I give him a thankful glance. One day out of the hospital, and I really do not want to make a trip back there for a while. Unless it's as a nurse.
"Hey Seb, remember what we said about being gentle with Abby?" He sticks his bottom lip out in an apologetic pout and I walk closer to him, placing a kiss on his cheek. Carter puts him down and he takes my hand slowly and leads me over to the table. He sits down on the chair next to me and leans on his hand, which is comfortably on the table. He looks at me intently and waits for me to say something. I start to laugh. He rolls his eyes and sighs, acting more like a parent fed up with his child, then a child fed up with his parents. Carter comes next to me, handing me a cup of tea. He ruffles Seb's hair and plops him off the seat.
"Go get dressed." He sends Carter a cringed look on his face, but he lumbers up the stairs anyway. He sits down on the now empty chair and pulls my feet into his lap. His hands run over the sore muscles in my legs and thighs. I spent way too much time in bed, and now every short trip is killing me. His hands work wonders on every single knot. He stops for a minute and takes a sip of coffee. He puts his cup down and I reach for it. He slaps my hand away. I roll my eyes at him. He won't let me have any coffee. Its not fair. Coffee stunts growth. So what? I'm not going to grow any taller. That's why they invented heels. Not that I wear them all that often. They are completely uncomfortable.
"Want me to stop by your apartment and get you anything?" I lean back against the chair and sigh. I still don't know what I'm doing here. I mean I never expected him to offer me his home. Its just a mess right now, and it doesn't help that I'm immobile.
"I swear. As soon as I can make it up 15 stairs, I'm going home." He puts my feet back down on level ground and starts to laugh.
"Last time I checked, I had to carry you up the five to the door." I snicker at him and he gives me a gentle kiss on the cheek. I hear Sebastian come running down the stairs and he almost falls as he turns the corner to the kitchen. He takes a running jump into Carter's lap and he's winded for a second. They look so much alike, it's unbelievable.
"Where's Maddie?" Carter straightens his outfit after his latest attack and runs his hand quickly through Seb's hair.
"She spent the night at a friend's house." I partially think that was because of me. She doesn't like me much, I'm not going to force anything either. I think Carter is though. I don't know what to do to warm up to her. I think she's just a little too overprotective of Carter. She knew her mom, Seb didn't. Both of them need some kind of mother figure in their lives. Susan has done it for the most part, but she's not a daily thing. He's done a great job on his own though.
"Seb, why don't you go watch TV for a while. Abby and I need to talk." Sebastian scampers off towards the den and I watch him go. Carter starts to get up and I follow his lead. Of course my back doesn't exactly agree with me here. I feel his arms wrap around my body and he picks me up. He's been doing alot of that recently. I hope I haven't gained
a lot of weight.
"Yeah, your definitely on your way to getting up 15 stairs." I hit him on his arm and he laughs a little. He's carrying me towards the back porch. I hold on to his neck while he fusses with the doorknob. A shot of warm air shoot through the open door and hits my body. We walk outside and he places me on the swing near the sun. He sits down across from me, and pulls my legs back into his lap. I lean back and let the warm sun hit my body. I can feel a suddenly jolt run through my body.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I sit up a bit and look at him. He's staring at something out at the distance.
"Us." I shoot him a questioning glace and looks back at me.
"I want to know what's going on between us." I lean my head against the soft material of the padded swing and play with the tips of my dirty hair.
"Is there an us?" I watch him shrug his shoulders in reply to my question. I don't know what's going on between us. I don't want to be away from him at any second, but I can't read him. I don' know what he wants, and I'm more afraid that I'm not going to be what he wants. I never really explained anything to him last week, the necklace, the ring. I don't know myself how everything happened. It was such a strange dream. I still don't believe it. But it happened. I don't know what to believe. I don't believe myself anymore.
I take my legs out of his lap and swing them over the edge so I'm sitting the same way he is. That took effort, and my back is going to be needing a little more than Tylenol can offer. I scoot closer to him, and he looks puzzled. I put my hand up to his cheek, and pull his face closer to mine. I skim my lips over his, but return for a deeper meaning. I'm searching for the answers, and I might be able to find them. My tongue invades his mouth slowly, his hands skim my body. My heart is pounding within my chest. I can feel goose bumps forming all over my body. I can feel my hands shaking. I can feel his soul through his lips. The sweetest taste in the world to me. I'm left drowning in a pool of him, nothing else matters to me anymore. An abrupt laugh sends us both scrambling. Sebastian stands in front of us, smile plastered on his face, hands covering the ever growing grin on his face.
"Daddy and Abby sitting in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G... First comes love.. Then comes marriage... Then comes a baby in a baby carriage." We both sink back into the swing, growing farther and farther away from each other. Why do I have a feeling we would have rather been caught having sex in some crazy position in a public place by our parents than kissing by a four year old monster. His giggling grows louder every second, and I look at Carter. His face is cherry red and he's trying to hold back from laughing at the irony of the situation. I put my hands out for Sebastian and he comes into my arms.
"Hey Seb, can we talk to you for a minute?" He nods his head intently and Carter looks at me, puzzled as to what's going on. I give Sebastian a tight squeeze and kiss on the cheek.
"Your daddy and I are gonna start dating. You know, when a boy and girl really like each other, and they want to be only with the other person." He nods his head, as if he understands everything I'm saying. I want to laugh, he plays the serious kid very well.
"Are you two gonna make love?" I start choking on my words for a few minutes, I can't grasp a breath of air. I look at Carter and he's having the same problem. He looks absolutely traumatized.
"Huh?" Its the only thing I can think of to say that won't sound that stupid. Carter's staring out into space with this worried expression on his face, and I still can't comprehend that his son just asked us if we were going to have sex. It's unbelievable. He sighs heavily and seems fed up with us adults for now.
"Are you two in LOVE with each other?" We both breathe a heavy breath of relief and Carter start to gain his composure.
"Enough questions Seb, lets get you to Mike's house." I give him a smile and he still seems to be gasping for air. He gets halfway to the door and turns around. He pushes Seb off towards the kitchen and comes back to me. He leans down and kiss me on the lips. I requite the gesture and suddenly I get the feeling we're being watched again. I break away from him and he rolls his eyes as the gleaming boy across the room.
"I'll be back in about fifteen minutes." I nod my head and lay back down against the swing.
"I'll be waiting."

"Is Abby going to move in with us?" Sebastian asks without batting an eye. I'm not sure if this is something he wants, or just curiosity.
"No... Are you going to keep asking me these questions?"
"What else do you want me to do?" I shrug, then a great idea pops into my head......
