Chapter Thirty Two
The brush of a feather could not match the gentle caresses of their fingers as they slowly moved away the clothing they had not removed in order to get comfortable when they arrived in their glamourous suite. Every nuisance of their bodies cried out to be touched. Eddie shut her eyes, she stayed in the moment, enjoying her husband's attentions and the feel of him beneath her hands.
The starch of his shirt gave way to smooth skin, peppered with the ridges and plains of his muscular chest. His lips nuzzled at her ear as he moved her hair aside to expose the sweet skin. He suckled, licked, whispered of his desire…her legs parted and opened to welcome him and get closer to him.
He moved her to the side, exposing the long scope of her back. He ran his hands up and down over the delicate curve, reaching out to cup their baby in his hands. "He's here because of this, because of this love, this passion…"
Eddie sighed, it was getting harder to accommodate their love making but they could not lose that all important connection. They just wouldn't.
His hands slid down her legs to her feet. He held and kissed each foot, massaging the arch with his thumb. The sensuality of his touch was driving her to distraction. She was so much more susceptible now to his touch. "Jamie…I…"
"Ssh," Jamie whispered. "You know I'm going to take care of you. I always take care of you."
She whimpered as he worked his way up her legs, his hands massaging the moist lips of her sex. His tongue dipped into her body, tasting her, inhaling her, drinking in her fluids to make her even more a part of him.
She writhed on the bed, grabbing the sheets, working her hands into Jamie's hair to hold him, then finally pull him up so they laid skin to skin, heart to heart.
She was ready, he was ready…but neither one wanted the moment to end.
Jamie dropped his head and held Eddie tight. Their eyes met and they kissed again and again to prolong the experience. In their state of arousal, they whispered to each other. "I couldn't see myself here without out you," he confessed.
"I know," she affirmed "Me too. Those times when we were forced to be apart…sometimes I couldn't even get up…"
"Those times are over, now we have nothing but our future."
He kissed her again, sealing his promise, then gently rolled her on her side, he couldn't hold out much longer, he had to join their bodies.
When the need was this strong, he would take her hard and fast, but now they did everything savory and slow, he revered her and her body for what it was doing for them, changing, expanding, and birthing their son…
He slid in slowly, side by side, and held still. They held one another's eyes, no words necessary. They didn't even part, just stayed attached, feeling the sensation and emotion of each other.
"We need to come back here,' Eddie murmured softly. "And make these memories with the whole family. I'm so glad we're having this baby Jamie…even once we got together and were living together, I always felt like someone was missing, but now, our son will be in that place."
He pecked her nose, "Our life is so full and our future right. We'll be safer in Montana, I'll be working you can have your garden that you want, we'll grow old like the Jobmans and still be in love.'
She liked the sound of that. "I'll sit on your lap on the porch swing, we'll snuggle and cuddle there, and we'll watch the grandchildren grow up. I'm not scared for you now like I was in New York. Promise me, Jamie, you'll be careful until your last day there. Please play it safe, promise?"
He cupped her cheek and touched their foreheads together, "I promise…"
Among the whispers, he began to move. She matched his slow, rocking rhythm, an ebb and flow, like a tide coming in on the shore. His sex was engorged and ready to explode inside of her, he had held himself still so long. She cried out when she felt him spill into her, it was such a welcome rush of warmth, it made her heart and her sex swell with joy.
They fell asleep pressed together, their child nestled between them in the protective cocoon of it's mother's body, their bodies still as connected as their hearts.
Eddie was squirming around in the large canopy bed and woke Jamie from a sound sleep. "Hey what's going on, are you okay," He sat up voice still musk with sleep turning to watch her curiously.
"My belly is itchy," she laughed. "When the baby kicks it feels like worms."
"Come here lay down next to me and let me see," Jamie sat up helping Eddie sit next to him lifting her shirt so he could take a look.
The skin had stretched, he could see Joe's little feet kicking inside. "I can fix that..." He got up and got s bottle of shea butter lotion. Eddie lay back some to be comfortable watching him
Jamie put a pillow behind her back, "You are all belly this time around," he observed beginning to rub the cream into her stomach.
"That feels good thanks yeah and he's kicking an awful lot..." Eddie sighed letting Jamie take care of her.
Hey, buddy," Jamie whispered. "It's Daddy. Daddy is here"
Eddie smiled, "You are so good the way you speak to him."
"I wished so much to lay like this with Max and let him feel me, hear me. Maybe if I could he'd be better."
"That isn't fully your fault Jamie it's in his blood he's little and that's all he knows but we can help him."
Joe kicked Jamie's hand, Eddie out her hand over Jamie's, they felt their boy together. "He knows your voice."
"He does he knows both our voices... don't you buddy you already know Mommy and Daddy."
"You are a good dad," Eddie told him. "You know what I see for Christmas in Montana?"
"What..." Jamie asked going back to rubbing the oil on her stomach smiling.
"A big real tree, candles in the windows, and of course you and the kids on a sled all three of them together Max in back and Joe in front...me making cocoa...
Jamie smiled stopping to meet her eyes, "That sounds really nice. We can build snowmen too and make snowballs or snow forts."
"We have a lot of property," Eddie smiled then sighed.
"What's wrong Eddie," Jamie asked softly
"Gotta pee," she sighed. "When I come back it's your turn."
Laughing Jamie helped her up giving a quick kiss on her lips. "I'll be waiting for you."
"It'll be worth it," she promised and blew a kiss as she headed to the bathroom.
Eddie stepped out of the bathroom then turned on the music box that was on the dresser. She softly began to sing, "Someday my prince will come..." She reached for Jamie. "Dance with me."
Smiling Jamie took her hand pulling her closer with his hand resting on her waist. "Always Eddie, I'll always dance with you."
They waltzed to the music, Eddie lying her head against Jamie's chest. Their night was perfect.
Jamie kissed the top of her head holding Eddie tight in his arms. "I love you Eddie."
"I love you," she murmured. "My Prince Charming."
He wrapped his arms around her burying his head in her hair breathing in. "My Eddie."
"My love, "she sighed and kissed his chin. They continued to sway to the music until it stopped.
After breakfast, Eddie and Jamie returned to their own hotel to find that Frank had both kids helping to pack up their own bags and prepare to head home. They stopped and looked up when they felt the presence of their parents.
April and Max both ran over to their Mom and Dad and gave them a huge hug. "Mommy, we did light parade and see Mickey Mouse!" April bragged.
"You did!" Jamie exclaimed. "Wow that is really special. Did you like doing that Max?"
He nodded, "We went on big boy rides too and April wasn't scared. I held her hand!" Max puffed out his chest like a proud soldier. He was going to make his parents very proud of him.
"You did!" Eddie beamed and opened her arms. "That's my big boy, Mommom is so proud of you. She gave him a big kiss. Are you guys ready to go out and have fun?"
"We have to go potty," Max said. "Potty now then have fun."
Jamie and Eddie smiled, their little guy was going to be okay, at least for now.
The family headed to Epcot that day, a special day for Grandpa before going home. Frank had done so much for them this trip, they wanted him to have time to enjoy the World Showcase and ride on Spaceship Earth, an old family favorite.
"Remember," Eddie replied. "Today is Grandpa's day so we have to be very good and let him have some fun okay?"
Both the kids were more than delighted to do that, they had gotten even closer to Frank those few weeks away. April skipped up and took Frank's hand, "Grandpa, I be your date…"
Frank beamed, "I couldn't think of a prettier one."
They headed to the American Experience first. It was a lovely program with poignant music and moving stories. Max sat intently listening to the music and watching the lights, April sat on Frank's lap, it was over both their heads but they appreciated seeing their grandpa enjoying himself.
The show took them from the Pilgrims arrival at Plymouth Rock until the present challenges. Frank was touched by it all, it stirred his patriotic spirit. After they got hot dogs and moved onto the rest of the countries. They rode the rides, saw the panoramic shows, and sampled the cuisine in each country. In France, April got to meet Belle, and in England, Max, with his parents watching, danced and hummed long with a one man band reminiscent of Bert in Mary Poppins. Jamie and Eddie were delighted with the happiness surrounding them.
The day culminated with a boat ride around the central lagoon and the Illuminations show, a display of laser lights. While the show was playing, Jamie and Eddie stood off to the side, holding hands, her head resting on his shoulder. It was a sight for sore eyes their connection and deep abiding love Frank couldn't think of a happier or more joyous day with his family and the little ones that were now sleeping Max on his shoulder and April on Jamie's.
"How are you feeling, Dad?" Eddie asked as they waited for the shuttle back to the hotel.
"With both hands," Frank joked making Eddie laugh. "Seriously, I feel great, I'm so happy to have had this time with you and to have been here today. Thank you for this."
"You're welcome," Eddie replied. "I'm going to miss you when we move. It's the best for the family," Eddie sighed looking at Jamie rocking April in his arms. "But we're going to miss you."
Frank gave her a wry smile, "Let's just say this trip gave me a lot to think on for my future, when I'm ready to hang up my shield, I might have to file a change of address card too. Pop always saw me growing old with Jamie and his family and after these couple of weeks, I think I see that too."
Those words and Max and April's soft snores, were music to Eddie's ears.
The plane landed back in New York in the afternoon. Eddie felt like she grew in the two weeks they were gone Frank helped the kids deplane so Jamie could focus on helping Eddie. "I can barely pass through the aisles now..." Eddie told him walking slowly to the front behind Frank and the kids.
"Don't exaggerate, you didn't gain that much and you are so beautiful." Jamie kissed her head.
Eddie smiled at him quickly "it feels like I gained a lot though..." she sighed joining Frank and the kids outside.
"Might be water weight from the flight too, we'll let you stretch and relax at home in the tub... come on let's catch up to Dad. They met up taking their time getting the luggage. Jamie carried his and Eddie's. His arm looped around her walking out together.
