Thump, thump, thump.
A constant tap is streaming against my leg. It takes me a second to open my eyes and realize what this movement might be. Upon opening my eyes I see the culprit lying right in front of me. He is propped up on the pillows and is playing on his iPad. He has his legs on me and his right foot is the one he can't seem to keep still. I'm not spotted yet which gives me a few seconds to take in this little boy's features. His blonde hair is even blonder since we spend almost every weekend outside. Big blue eyes that will have you eating out of his palm. I instantly wonder what it would be like to have a small little boy with coppery brown hair and big blue eyes. Or maybe a little girl with chocolate curls and gray eyes. I smile at the thought. I can almost picture them in my head running through a field with Will. Snap out of it Grey…
I decide to shock the little fella in front of me, who is off in his own little world. I grab his foot and his eyes snap to my face.
"Cwistian." He whispers with a small gasp. He turns his head to see if Ana is still asleep and she is. I usually never sleep late myself, but she is always up earlier with this little booger. If I can provide a few hours of child care for her to get caught up on sleep - I would happily do it for the rest of my life. Don't go there Grey, you heard what she said last night. She is not interested in marrying you. Now she didn't say that, Grey. It's marriage in general that turns her off. Kavanagh must have done a number on her for her to never want to get married again. I want the full story about what happened. Maybe I'll ask her one day... I'm thrown out of my thoughts by Will's head snapping back to mine.
"Mamas sweepin" he says and places his little chubby index finger over his mouth as if to quiet me. I really want to laugh, but decide against it and just nod my head while repeating his action.
"Come here, come snuggle with me and show me what you're playing." I whisper and he moves over to my open arms. I see the time on the tablet is 7:50 in the morning. I need coffee soon or I am going to be a dud all day. Will snuggles close to my chest while leaning the tablet on his knees. I wrap my arm around him keeping my right hand open to help play the game he is enthralled with.
We play for about ten minutes before I see movement in the corner of my eye. Ana has her phone out and it seems she may have just taken a picture of us. She quickly pulls the phone to her chest when she sees my head look in her direction. I give her an amused stare and she giggles which gets the interest of her son in my arms.
"Mama!" Will exclaims and rushes to her arms. I smile at these two. I would have never expected to not only fall in love, but fall in love with someone who has a child as well. They have completely stolen my heart and I feel panic dance through my stomach at the thought of us not bringing together. Stop Grey! Ana was made for me and me her.
"You okay, love?" Ana asks while reaching out for me. Her face is masked in concern. I must have a scared look on my face. I pull a brilliant smile as I take her hand and pull them to me. She rests her head half in the crook of my arm and half on my chest. Will is lying directly on top of her.
"I'm perfect." I saw while leaning down to kiss her plump lips.
"Ew" I hear Will mutter under his breath. We both look at him and he is completely focused on us. "That's gwoss." I can't help it. I laugh a full belly laugh which causes Ana to giggle as well. Will thinks he has done something magnificent, so he joins us in laughing.
"I am going to remind you of this moment when you are 16 and going on a date for the first time." He stops laughing and his eyes get big.
"A date?" He asks almost in fear. Ana pulls him to her.
"A date is something we can talk about when you are older. Okay?" He scrunched up his nose. I have a feeling his three year old brain is telling him we are going to force him to date when he is older. Little does he know that he is going to want to. He nods his head, but clearly unimpressed by this conversation.
"Who's ready to eat breakfast?" Ana asks while running her hands through Will's hair.
"I would love to eat something else Ms. Steele." I whisper in her ear. I just couldn't help myself. I have yet to taste Ana fully and I am wanting to soon. I may go crazy if I don't. Ana's eyes widen and that beautiful blush I love so much spreads from her face down her body. If only I could see it underneath that silk nighty she has on. She turns away from me out of shyness and I can't help but smirk. To be so experienced and know moves that knocks me out of my socks - she is so incredibly shy and innocent when it comes to talking about sex. I. Freaking. Love. It.
"PANPAKES!" Will yells at the top of his lungs bringing me out of my lust field thoughts. Does this boy ever tire of pancakes? I know I do. I look from Will to Ana and I think she is mirroring my face. When she catches me staring she gives a small smile which makes my heart beat faster.
"I'll make us something else." She mouths to me while climbing out of bed and grabbing her robe that is lying on the chair next to the bed. Dear Jesus, that girl has a beautiful body. She starts to walk out the room and I can't help but admire the view. Sigh. I scoop up the three year old and tickle him as we make our way to the kitchen. Ana immediately starts on the pancakes for Will.
"What do you want this morning, Christian?" Ana says while mixing the ingredients for the pancakes. You, naked in our bed, moaning my name as I impregnate you. I am visualizing this as I think it through in my head. I see movement in front of me. I come back to reality and see Ana waving at me. She looks concerned. It is then that I realize I may have been daydreaming for a while. Will is sitting next to me eating pancakes and looking at me funny. How long has it been?
"Christian?" Ana says my name and I look back to her. Visions of her round with my child flood my brain and I try to contain my smile so I don't freak her out.
"Yes baby." I look over to Will and he almost has his pancakes finished.
"You okay?" She says in a small voice and it makes my head snap to hers. She is more than concerned. I really worried her. I walk over to her and pull her in my arms. She leans her head in the crook of my neck. I have noticed its one of her favorite spots.
"I'm more than okay. I must have zoned out and I'm sorry if I scared you." I say into her hair. I breathe her in and it makes me even happier. Is that possible? She nods against me and pulls away.
"I made us omelets. I asked you what you wanted, but you were lost in your head it seems. I hope that is okay." She turns back to the stove where she plates the second omelet. She hands me the one she just plated and we make our way to the table with Will.
"Baby, do you want some fruit?" Ana asks.
"Yes." Both Will and I answer at the same time. Ana looks amused at both of us. She places some strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple on Will's plate. I realize she wasn't speaking to me and it unsettles me. When has she ever called you baby, Grey? She has a baby and it's not you. I push that aside and start on my omelet. This woman amazes me with her cooking skills ever day. It immediately makes me think of Gail and how I haven't been home in a while. While I am sad that I've been missing out on Taylor and Gail, I wouldn't trade time with Will and Ana for anything. Ana's phone starts ringing and she makes a face once she sees whose calling. I raise an eyebrow at her.
"Kate." She says shortly. Ahhhh… so it seems she is upset with Miss Kavanagh over last night's conversation. I decide to play dumb a get a bit more information out of her.
"Not going to answer?" I ask as the phone keeps ringing. She shakes her head no.
"Nope." She says popping the p.
"Why not?" I tilt my head for good effect and apparently she can see right through me. She purses her lips at me.
"Because I am enjoying breakfast with two of my three favorite men in the world right now and I don't wish to be bothered." She says with a shrug. All I heard was two of three. Who is the third person? Ethan? I can feel my blood run cold. If it's Ethan, I am going to plummet his face in. I go to open my mouth when her phone starts ringing again. She rolls her eyes at me as if she knew what I was about to say. That eye rolling makes my palm twitchy. I wonder if my girl would be into spankings.
"Speaking of my third favorite man." She says as she answers the phone. I watch her get up and collect Will's plate while putting the phone to her ear. I am about to lose my cool when she reveals the third person and my heart instantly calms.
"Hey Daddy." She says with so much love in her voice. I finish my omelet while listening to her talk to her dad.
"I don't think we have any plans for the day. Why what's up?" I finish my breakfast and make my way to the sink to help her with the dishes. Will is still at the table sneaking fruit out of the bowl with his hands. I chuckle at the sight.
"Hey baby, let me do the dishes and you go relax." I say with a smile. She looks at me wide eyed and I am a little confused as to why. I mean, of course I have no idea how to wash dishes or load a dishwasher, but could it be that hard?
"Daddy, that was Christian." Oh shit. I return her wide-eyed stare. Her dad is on the phone and I just made myself known in her house. I called her baby! The man may kill me.
"Christian is.." She leaves the word hanging and I think for a second she is trying to brush off our relationship. Then I hear her dad's voice through the phone. I can't make out any words, but I know she was cut off.
"Dad. Christian is my boyfriend. Yes, Will has met him and he loves him." She's silent once more as she hops up on the counter next to me. I see her looking at Will and her eyes narrow. I turn in time to see she has caught him with his hands in the fruit bowl. They are both staring at each other. Will slowly pulls his hand out of the fruit bowl and clasps his hands together in front of him on the table. He then starts to look around avoiding Ana's stare. I have to turn back to the dishes in order not to laugh.
"Yes daddy, I'm here. Will just got caught with his hand in the fruit bowl and I was giving him the eye." She listens to what he is saying and giggles at whatever it was. A small pang of jealousy hits me. I want to be the only one who makes her laugh like that. At least it is just her dad and not a potential suiter.
"Of course we would love to grab lunch with you and Meredith. When will you arrive? Okay sounds good. We will see you in two hours. Love you too daddy." She says with a smile then hangs up. She looks immediately to Will.
"Mister Kavanagh." She says and motions for him to come here with her finger. Ugh, Kavanagh. One more reminder that Will is Ethan's child. Oh, how I wish he was mine and I met Ana first. It tears at my insides when I think about it. Will sulks over to Ana. She hops off the counter and kneels down in front of him. I put the last dish in the dishwasher… I hope I did that correctly… and take note of the scene in front of me.
"Don't put your hands in the fruit bowl again or any food bowl we have out. I had a spoon in there for you to scoop it out and put it on your foodmat." She says and gives him this look. You know "the look". I feel for the kid.
"I won't do it again mama. Me promise." He says while giving her the puppy dog look. These two kill me. I wouldn't be able to resist either of their pouts. She opens her arms and he runs into them. She stands to full height with Will in her arms.
"Now, that was Papa. He wants to take us to lunch today. Okay?" He looks over to me and back to Ana.
"Can Cwistian and my trucks come?" Ana laughs her beautiful girly laugh and it makes my chest fill with love.
"Of course Christian can come, that is if he wants to. You can bring one toy so make it count." She says while putting him on the ground. He takes off towards the living room. It may take him the whole two hours to select the best toy to take with him. I'm leaning against the counter eyeing Ana. She saunters over to me and wraps her arms around me and my arms immediately wrap around her.
"So what do you say hot stuff? Wanna meet my daddy?" She says while looking up at me. The smile I just had on my face slowly evaporates. It has just hit me that she wants me to meet her father. Her dad. She is a totally daddy's girl. What if he doesn't like me? Will she take his opinion of me seriously enough and dump me? I am pulled from my small panic attack when I feel lips on mine. Calmness washes over me. How does she do that?
"Christian, he will love you. I just know you two will get along perfectly." She says against my lips. She gives me one more full kiss before pulling away. "You do not have to go if you don't want to." Are you kidding baby?
"No, I want to go. I've just never met anyone's parents before." I say leaning in for one more kiss.
"Well, my daddy is super laid back and Meredith is pretty amazing. She has been the constant mother figure in my life since college." Hmm… interesting. Her mother isn't in the picture at all?
"Are they married?" I ask curious.
"Nope. I guess since they have both already been married they are content on what they have. They have been together for a long time." She says with a smile.
"So…she knew Ethan as well?" That gets her to tense up. Grey, are you trying to get yourself uninvited this morning?
"Yes, she knew Ethan and so did my dad." She says with annoyance dripping from her words. She tries to pull away but I keep her firmly pressed against me.
"Did your dad and Ethan get along well?" I say while trying to act nonchalant about it. It is actually really bugging me. I want her dad to like me, what can I say? She huffs and I know I have pissed her off.
"Christian, why don't you ask him yourself at lunch?" She says while looking up at me. A smile is on her face and I know she is using humor to deflect from the topic.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop. You just have to understand how hard this is for me. You aren't competing with the ex-wife of my past." I say immaturely. She giggles and I can't help but laugh myself.
"Come on. Let's go see what that mischievous fruit stealer is up to." She pulls out of my arms and saunters out of the kitchen. Once again I admire her phenomenal ass as she walks away. When she gets to the door, she turns to look at me over her shoulder. My dick is twitching in my pants and I follow her like a lost puppy into the living room. All thoughts of meeting her dad are out the window when I see Ana and Will sitting in the middle of the living room. I love these two people more than I ever thought possible. I smile realizing how amazing life has been lately.
Just a sweet little morning at the Steele/Kavanagh residence. I wonder what is around the corner for our love birds?
