First off, I'd like to say sorry for not updating for about two months. Damn, that was a really long time. I was caught up in a lot of other things like I'm in Love with a Rockstar and I'll Catch You. I haven't had much time to write for this story and I've sort of lost interest in it for a while. I'm back now though. I'll try to update this story as much as I possibly can but it probably won't be as much as my other stories. Sorry again!
Chapter 15: Our House
Bella POV
"Hey, where did my shirt go?" I asked Flame with an eyebrow raised.
"It's umm….. somewhere," he answered with a nervous smile.
"Where did you throw it?"
"You don't have to dress up you know. It'll be just a waste considering that we're still going to christen the other rooms," he wiggled his eyebrows at me. I laughed and pushed him back. He feigned hurt but I made up for it by pecking him on the lips. I eyed the room and spotted his shirt.
"Aha," I stuck my tongue out at him. I grabbed his shirt and put it on.
"That's mine," he defended. I just shrugged and smiled at him.
"Come on. Show me our house," I said softly with a smile plastered onto my face. His eyes lit up with excitement before he took my hand in his. He first brought me into the living room.
"Flame….." I said in awe. The place looked magnificent! The walls were painted white and the couches looked simple yet formal. There were three slabs of paintings against the wall, a rounded rectangular rug with a simple design of a music note, and on top of it was a rounded coffee table. There was a plasma screen TV hanging off one side of the room and a table under it. "This is…" I couldn't come up for any other words.
Flame slipped his hand out of mine and wrapped it around my waist. "I know," he breathed out, "I'm awesome."
"Shut up," I smacked his chest but looked up and gave him a smile while I chuckled.
"Hey, at least you didn't disagree," he grinned. "Shall we?" he asked. I nodded. He also showed me the kitchen, the bathrooms, the spare rooms, and every other room in the house except one.
"Babe," I started.
"Yeah?"
"What's that room?" I asked as I pointed to the room we had not gone in yet.
"It's the highlight of our tour," he grinned. I was about to walk in when he pulled me back. "Nope, you have to cover your eyes," he said.
"But why?" I whined. He gave me a stern look and I ended up huffing in defeat. I closed my eyes and allowed him to blindfold my eyes. I heard the door creak and Flame helped me get in the room.
"You ready?" he asked. I nodded. He took off the blindfold from my eyes and I slowly allowed my eyes to readjust to the lighting. I gasped. "I know it's not fini – " I cut him off with a hush. Happy tears were taking their rightful places on my eyes. I walked over to the piece of furniture and glided my fingertips on the dark polished wood.
"This is…. I don't know how to…." I was speechless. Flame must have noticed the tears on my eyes as he walked over to me quickly as he assessed me.
"Honey are you crying? I didn't mean to make you cry. Are you unhappy about the room? We can always decorate it the way you want. Aww please don't cry," he pleaded as he peppered my face with kisses. I couldn't help it as I let out a laugh. Flame started to look at me as if I was crazy.
I cupped his cheeks and rested my forehead against his. "Its happy tears, you idiot," I chuckled.
"Oh," he muttered.
"The room is perfect. Everything in this house is great but this room is what makes it absolutely perfect. There's not one thing that I would change about the way you've designed this house. Our house," I smiled softly at him. I pulled him in for a soft kiss. My eyes fluttered at how much emotion he put into it. "Our baby would love this room," I assured him.
"Since we're not completely sure about the sex of the baby, I decided to just put in a background of some sort. Terra was the one who suggested the design, considering the trees and animals," he grinned.
"Of course, how did I miss that," I laughed. "If you had designed the background it would have been all flames," I teased as I kissed his nose.
"Yes, but it would have still been awesome," he grinned.
"Definitely," I agreed. He wrapped both of his arms around my waist and interlocked them behind my back. I put my arms around his neck and allowed him to help me carry my weight. "I love you," I whispered as he attached his lips onto mine.
"I love you too," he replied. "Our baby is going to be one lucky kid," he stated.
"Because he or she is going to have the greatest dad in the world," I added.
"No, that's not why," he contradicted. "It's because our baby is going to have the most loving, caring, and beautiful person in the world as their mom and how could I forget sexy," he smiled at me. I felt my heart beat skip a beat. I didn't realize how much little words like that could affect me so much.
"I knew I made the right choice when I married you," was the only reply I could think of. He let out a heartfelt laugh before he carried me bridal style.
"Come on baby, we have rooms to christen," he grinned. Suddenly, a knock came from the front door.. "Or not," he muttered. He let me down on my feet and opened the door. "What do you want?" he shouted at the visitor.
"Chill out Flame! Sheesh, we just wanted to see the final result of the house," Nyte rolled his eyes before allowing himself inside of the house.
"Nice," I heard Angel and Ritz say under their breath.
"So…. which room is mine?" Nyte asked.
"You have your own house Nyte," I reminded him.
"But this place is so much cooler," he defended. Jenny gave him a pointed look and raised her eyebrows. "I mean, no, our house is much better," he said trying to save himself from getting an earful from Jenny.
"Thought so," she muttered. I let out a laugh and patted him on the back.
"I can't believe you guys have your own house," Nixie said in disbelief.
"Yeah, you guys are the first to move out of the house," Zephyra said.
"Are you guys serious? Their house is like 30 seconds away with our running. Besides, I think they deserve it," Xen defended for our sake. I gave her a smile and she saluted me back.
"Shut up Xen. You're just sucking up to them because Flame made you your own room," Dimitri muttered.
"You did?" I asked as I slowly turned around to face Flame.
"She was the one who found the location and she demanded to have her own room," he replied.
"Don't worry Bells. It's just for rare occasions," Xen assured but I caught her throwing a glance at Nyte.
"I see," I chuckled.
"What?" Nyte asked. I just shook my head. Xen and Nyte tended to get into fights because of idiotic things Nyte would do. For example, one time Nyte was experimenting with pink dye and he put it in Xen's shampoo but he forgot to get rid of it. Let's just say Xen wouldn't let him touch her for a very long time.
"So what's the report?" I asked the family.
"The place is definitely perfect, especially the nursery room!" Terra exclaimed. I laughed at her. Of course she would love the nursery room. She was the one who designed it. I looked over my family and realized that Damien wasn't here.
"Jenny," I started.
"Yes, honey?" she asked.
"Where's Damien?"
"Oh he stayed at the house with the Pack. They're thinking about tactics and battle plans but he sends you his congratulations," she answered.
"Alright," I smiled at her. I loved the way things were going smoothly. I really hope that our upcoming battle is not going to ruin everything. I want everyone to be here to witness mine and Flame's first child. I want everyone to be there to see our child grow up with a family that loves him or her.
"But Xennnnn," I heard Nyte whine from a different room.
"No, if you don't want me to be away from you at all, can you please stop acting like an idiot?" she pleaded.
"I'll try," I heard him reply uneasily. Xen let out a groan before I heard her walk away from him. I looked at Flame but he just shrugged at me.
"As much as I love you guys' presence," Flame said sarcastically, "can you guys leave so I can have my way with my wife?"
"Well," Dimitri said dramatically.
"I can see we're not wanted here," Nixie glared at Flame.
"No, you're not," Flame muttered.
"What was that?" she growled.
"Nothing," he replied with a grin.
"Alright then, let's leave them to their privacy kids," Jenny clapped her hands.
"Fine," Ritz groaned.
"Hey honey," Terra began to say to Angel.
"Yeah babe?" he asked. She walked over to him and linked her arm with his. She rested her head on his shoulder as they began to walk out of the house.
"I want a baby," she said so suddenly. Angel's eyes widened before he turned around and glared at us.
"You did this to me," he pointed at Flame. Flame merely laughed for his brother. Terra gasped in horror before giving Angel a glare.
"I can't believe you," she said in disbelief. Terra huffed, crossed her arms, and began walking away from him.
"Terra, honey," Angel pleaded but she didn't turn around. He gave Flame the middle finger before running after Terra with pleads.
"It's not that bad," I muttered.
"I know it's not babe. Just watch, once Terra gets pregnant he'll want it just as much," Flame assured before kissing me on the forehead. I nodded and smiled at him.
"See you guys later," Zephyra waved goodbye as the rest of them left the house. Once they closed the door, Flame had me against the wall. He was about to crush his lips against mine until the door opened again.
"WHAT?" we both yelled.
"Just saying bye, geez," Nyte grinned and gave us a thumbs up before slowly closing the door again.
"I hate my brother," Flame muttered but he forgot his train of thought as I kissed him again.
"We can't… have… sex though," I said in between kisses.
"Why the hell not?" he whined.
"I'm hungry," I whispered against his red, swollen lips.
"Fine," he replied, defeated.
