Xoxo, Rm
Ella woke up really early the next day, she had her own agenda to take care of, Roland had his legs and arms thrown over Jax, Jax was huddled on a little sliver of the bed, Ella chuckled and took out her phone to keep this moment forever. She silently made her way to change into her business attire, she put on slim black dress pants, a button up white shirt that she left a few unbuttoned, a black blazer and rolled up the sleeves, she pulled her hair back into a messy pony-tail, put on her black heels, put on minimal make up. She kissed Jax and Roland and quickly went about her day.
Regina had woken up and went straight into the kitchen to make some coffee, she made Tink's knowing once the smell filled their pent house Tink would wake up and just as planned Tink came stumbling in smiling, Regina chuckled and handed her a cup. They both decided to sit in the living room to discuss things.
Ella finally finished up with her meetings with some very important people that could change lives, she was satisfied with what she had done all on her own and couldn't wait till the time came for her to tell her secret to her loved ones. She walked into the pent house expecting everyone to be sleeping still, she instantly froze when she heard female voices.
"Shit." She mumbled, honestly those two never sleep, she took off her heels and decided to try and sneak past them, she knew their backs were towards her, she tip toed to the stairs as quietly as she could.
"What are you doing?" Tink asked pulling Ella out of her sneaking phase.
"Huh, what?" Ella said turning around and smiling at the two
"What are you lurking?" Regina asked with her eye brow raised
"Me? No I'm just going back to my room, that's all." Ella said turning for the stairs
"Where were you?" Tink asked, Ella continued up the stairs
"Ella, where were you?" Regina said sternly
"Nowhere, just around." Ella said
"Beijing in a power suit, yeah okay." Tink snorted then sipped her coffee
"Should I be concerned?" Regina asked hesitantly
"No, I had business to take care of no biggie." Ella said
"What's no biggie?" Jax asked, Ella jumped at the sound of his voice
"Jeez, why is everyone up, you're all supposed to be sleeping."
"True, but your brother kicked my ribs, where'd ya go?" Jax asked
"Jax." Ella said giving him a look
"Oh." Jax said, "Good or bad?" Jax asked
"Very good, very very good!" Ella said, she started to tear up, Jax hugged her and kissed her on the lips
"Look at you all grown up my love." He whispered into her ear, she giggled and pushed him away. Regina looked at the couple puzzled
"Excuse us, but please share with the class." Tink said
"Everything is okay and time will reveal it." Ella explained
"This isn't about what we talked about when you first arrived right?" Regina asked, she was referring to the possible pregnancy scare
"No!" Ella said, "Not at all something so much better. You'll see."
"Better? I hardly think so dear." Regina said
"Yeah okay maybe not as good as that but it's a good thing." Ella responded, "Now I'm going to change out of these clothes, what's the plans for today?" Ella asked
"I don't know, we have to leave tonight." Regina said
"Where's dad? Is he not up?" Ella asked
"No, he is. He wanted to talk to you actually." Jax said kissing her temples then headed towards the kitchen.
"Ooh Daddy's girl is in trouble!" Tink said giggling
"Hardly." Ella said rolling her eyes, she winked at Regina quickly went to change into some ripped denim skinny jeans, a stripped black and white casual shirt and threw on some pointed black flats, ruffled her dark short hair and headed for the office space, her father was still a busy man.
"Dad?" Ella said softly letting herself into the little room, Robin looked up from his work and smiled, she liked the way he looked today, he wore dark denim jeans, a white collared shirt underneath a grey knitted thin sweater and over it a dark blue mixed with white cardigan, her dad had some amazing taste, he hadn't shaved he still had his slight beard and mustache going on which Ella happened to love, it amused her
"Ella, how are you today?" Robin asked shutting his laptop, he walked around to the front of the desk and sat on it, Ella smiled and joined him smoothing out her shirt.
"I'm good just handled some busy, I just got back." Ella said twirling a piece of hair
"What kind of business?" Robin asked
"Nothing big just things." Ella said smiling, Robin chuckled
"Alright."
"Jax told me you wanted to see me?"
"Yes." Robin mumbled
"Is it about Regina?" Ella asked, Robin smiled
"Correct." Robin said
"What about?" Ella asked genuinely interested
"I don't know where to start." Robin said with a slight tenseness
"Dad, honestly, I wouldn't know either." Ella said, "She is our savior, you don't know how much she's done for me, she's changed me, she is a diamond and I want you to know that if you try to pursue her you'd better hurry, if I was a guy and met a women like that, I'd snatch her right up. She's so amazing dad, I'm 100% sure she will make us all happy and I'd hope she'd feel the love from us Lockleys, she deserves the world and you are the only man to give it to her, I'm not just saying this because you're my dad but because I mean it." Ella said, "I think you both can help each other reach your fullest potential, isn't that what relationships are about? Having the other person better yourself as a person?" Ella asked, Robin looked at his daughter in disbelief.
"Since when did you get so wise?" Robin asked, Ella giggled
"I've grown up quite a bit these few days." Ella said smiling
"I see that." Robin said
"So what are your feelings for this dark haired women I whisked into our life?" Ella asked
"I agree she is absolutely beautiful in every way, her touch with my children only deepen what I already know to be true despite of our short time together."
"And what is that exactly?"
"You've brought me my soulmate Ella, it's quite impossible but I am already in love with this women." Robin confessed
"Dad, that's amazing." Ella said jumping off the table and pulling her father with her, she hugged him so tightly.
"This divorce may make things tricky, but I'm glad mom is on board, I hope you get to file soon then this romance with Regina will be more permanent." Ella explained
"Exactly, time will be the ultimate challenge." Robin mumbled
"But with the way things are going everything will work out." Ella said kissing her dad's head, "I'll meet you down for breakfast with the gang." She said skipping out Robin chuckled
"Okay."
"Okay Ro, what do you want for breakfast little man?" Jax asked, he had placed Roland on the kitchen counter, the chiefs insisted that they could cook but Jax refused.
"Mickey mouses!" Roland squealed
"Mickey mouses huh?" Jax asked, he knew Roland meant Mickey Mouse pancakes, he smiled and agreed to the young boy's request.
Regina and Tink had been talking for quite a while, Tink decided to wake Killian up. Regina decided to change into something more sophisticated, she put on dark skinny jeans, a white top and a casual grey blazer, put on a little makeup and left her hair down.
Regina wandered in the kitchen to see what the boys were up to. She smiled seeing Roland on a counter swinging his legs merrily watching Jax cook.
"Morning Miss Mills." Jax said looking up when he sensed her presence
"Good morning." She said smiling, "Matching? I love it." Regina said, Jax and Roland both wore pretty much the exact same thing, blue collared undershirts, and a blue sweater over, paired with tan jeans and oxford shoes.
"Hey uhm-" Roland paused, "Gina Thanks!" he said happily, "Morning!"
"Good morning sweets." Regina said smiling, Roland hopped off the counter and ran towards her and hugged her legs, Regina surprised looked down at the boy with teared eyes. She picked him up.
"Thank you for that hug sweet boy." She said squeezing him in her arms, he gave her the biggest smile. Regina laughed and spun around with him in her arms, he laughed so hard he had tears streaming down his face. Regina laughed along with him then set him back on the counter.
"Okay breathe Roland." She said softly, he nodded, she took his hand and placed it on his chest with her hand on top.
"When you feel your heart slow down then you can continue to play okay?" Regina said
"Okay Gina." He kept breathing slowly until he was calmer, "It's slow now."
"Yes it is, but I think the food is ready, are you ready to eat what Jax made for you?" she asked, Roland nodded.
"Okay you go sit at the big table and I will help Jax with the food."
"Okay Gina, can you sit by me?" he asked
"Of course sweets." Roland skipped out of the room, Jax had made a whole stack of pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse, lots of bacon, sausage and eggs of all kinds.
"You're quite the chief." Regina said balancing a few plates on her arms
"Thank you, when you have Ella as your girlfriend and Kenz as her best friend you have to know how to cook for them or they'd starve." Jax said, Regina laughed and followed Jax to the dining room. She found Roland sitting in a chair patiently, his eyes lit up as he saw them come into the room with plates and plates of food.
"You both go on and eat, I'm going to check on Ella and get the rest of the gang in here." Jax said
"Okay." Regina said, she started to make her plate and Roland's, she sat next to him and helped him with his food.
"Can you help cut it?" Roland asked "It's hard Gina." He said
"Of course Roland, thank you for asking." Regina said, she let his tiny hands rest on the butter knife and fork, she placed her own hands over his and guided him cutting his food so it would be easier to eat.
"And there." Regina said, placing the knife to the side
"Syrup Gina! Syrup!" Roland squealed
"Of course, how could I forget?" she said, he laughed
"Okay, you tell me when to stop." Regina said unsnapping the top of the maple syrup and pouring it over his pancakes.
"Uhm, stop!" Roland yelled, Regina chuckled
"Alright dear." Regina said, she placed the syrup to the side and was content watching him eat his food, he stuffed his mouth until his cheeks were enormous and tried to smile, Regina laughed which made Roland giggled, he swallowed his food and finished everything on his plate right after.
"I'm so full!" Roland said slouching in his chair, "Everyone take so long! I ate and they not here." Roland said shaking his head
"Well Roland you did eat very fast, I haven't quite finished either." Regina said wiping her mouth with a napkin
"Where is everyone Gina?" he asked
"I don't know sweets lets clean your face okay?" Regina asked, Roland nodded, she dipped her napkin in her water and wiped his sticky face, he giggled the entire time
"Gina you so fun!" Roland said in between giggles, Regina smiled
"So are you." Regina said fixing his curly brown hair
"Gina, when we get back home can we play again?" Roland asked
"Sure sweets we can play anytime you want." She said kissing his forehead, he scrunched his nose and giggled, Robin along with the others came in upon their precious moment.
"Well wasn't that just the cutest." Tink said squeezing Killian's arm, she was on the verge of tears, Ella giggled
"You made the pregnant women cry Regina." Ella said, everyone laughed and sat at the table just as they did at the restaurant.
"You look very beautiful this morning milady." Robin whispered in her ear
"Hey! No seductive whispering!" Ella yelled across the table, Regina and Robin both began to blush
"What's that?" Roland asked innocently
"Nothing Ro, sissy is just being silly huh?" Jax said placing his hand on her thigh, Ella gasped a bit and shot a look at Jax, he winked back at her and continued the conversation with everyone else
"What are the plans for today?" Jax asked casually, his hand remained tight on Ella's upper thigh, her hand went to his and tried to push his hands off of her, Regina and Tink both shared knowing glances and rose their eyebrows at Ella, Ella froze and didn't make any other obvious movements
"Well, I say we do a little shopping then some lunch and back to the states." Robin said
"Sounds great mate." Killian said, he and the others started to eat their food fairly quickly
"What do you think Ella?" Regina asked with an eyebrow raised, Jax hand moved a bit higher which caused her to shut her eyes, she quickly opened them and silenced a moan.
"Thaaaat-" she started to say when he moved his hand closer to his goal, "It's good, great plan, excuse me for a second." Ella said shooting out of her seat and dashing into the kitchen.
"What was that about?" Killian asked concerned
"I don't know." Jax lied, he bit his bottom lip to suppress a laugh, he only did that because he didn't think she'd react that way but enjoyed toying with her, she would kill him later.
"We'll go check on her." Regina said, her and Tink both stood up and went into the kitchen, finding Ella splashing her face with water and cursing under her breath.
"Well well well aren't the young ones frisky." Tink purred, Ella turned around and rolled her eyes, Regina chuckled
"Shut up." Ella said shaking her head, "Honestly wasn't expecting that, I'm going to kill him if my dad and godfather don't do it first.
"Hun, I don't think any of them saw what was going on down under." Tink joked, Regina started laughing hysterically which caused Ella to laugh then Tink
"You both suck so much." Ella managed to say in between laughs
"But you love us." Regina said with a wink
"I have no other choice but to, you're too far into my life." Ella said
"Very true, now if you both can keep your hands to yourself for the remaining hotel experience, I think your father wants to go shopping already." Regina said
"You don't have to tell me that, that's all Jax, he's infatuated with me." Ella said
"Infatuated huh?" Jax said walking in carrying dishes
"You!" Ella said clearly pissed, "What the hell!" she said punching his arm repeatedly, he laughed and ran over to the sink to place the dishes down, she continued to assault him
"I missed you and haven't got the chance to-"
"Okay I'm stopping this conversation." Regina said with her hands on her hips, "You touch her again like that in my presence-"
"And mine." Tink added
"I'll set the pregnant women on you." Regina said
"You don't want all of this." Tink said using her hands to emphasize her body, "Don't let the belly fool you." Tink said, Ella giggled
"Yes ma'am, it won't happen again." Jax said, he kissed Ella quickly on the lips and left the kitchen
"You both are very intimating." Ella giggled
"I told you it's the belly." Tink said following Ella out, Regina in tow
"I'm sure it is." Regina said laughing, she hadn't laughed so much in one day, she loved it, she hoped that every day with this crazy family would be exactly like this.
