*Ariel had mid lunch to mid dinner shift and Brad was home waiting for her. Work was busy and Ken was back at work. Brad was still adjusting to being home, slowly but surely it was getting better. Kelly was planning her shower with Ariel and Ariel knew the perfect spot for Kelly to have it. Trish's wedding was coming up and Ariel was planning hers but just enjoying being Brad's fiance. It had been a few weeks since Levi…Ariel looked over and gasped as she saw Levi with an eye patch on*
Ariel: Levi! What happened?
Levi: Get away from me!
Ariel: Levi?
Levi: Brad didn't tell you?...*Ariel looked speechless and Levi smiled*
Ariel: I…Levi…I.
Levi: Your fiance is a psycho! Now, if you'll excuse me…*Ariel watched him limp over to his table. His friends looked at her and Ariel looked away with tears running down her face*
Kelly: Sister?
Ariel: I feel sick…
Kelly: What happened?
Ariel whispered: Brad attacked Levi…He…His eye….*Kelly's eyes went wide*
Kelly: What!?...*Kelly whispered*...He didn't tell you!
Ariel: I didn't even know about it! I knew that had him but…I thought they just let him go and he stayed away.
Kelly: Sister, if he can keep that from you. What else is he keeping from you? A closet full of dead bodies…*Ariel held her stomach*
Ariel: Don't say that…Brad, wouldn't…He.
Kelly: He's in the freaking military. Of course he could keep anything in..,*Ariel sighed and Brad heard a knock at the door. He groaned as wished he would have never opened the door*
Brad: What?
Rachel: So…I hear Levi made an appearance at Hooters tonight. Ariel is really shaken up about it.
Brad: How do you even know that?
Rachel: Come on Brad. Let's go take a walk…Clear your head.
Brad: Leave…*He went to shut the door and Rachel stopped it with her foot*
Rachel: You even let her change the place…Wow, I wasn't that good. Guess she really is a good lay.
Brad: Shut up Rachel! Leave now!
Rachel: Does she know?...*Rachel ran her finger down his chest and bit her lip as she looked into his eyes*...How much of an iceman you can really be? They didn't give you that nickname for nothing. Let's be honest…You were always going to let Levi live, let him go out into the world and live again. Once it was enough time that had passed and he forgot…You, the iceman were going to track him and kill him. So it'll make the kill that much sweeter baby? Am I close?
Brad: Rachel…Leave!
Rachel: Why?...Because you know I'm right?...You know I could always calm you down Brad and you always loved it…So let me help you…*Rachel stepped closer to him and Brad looked at her lips*
Ken: Bye A. Have a good night.
Ariel: Thanks, you too Ken!...*Ariel walked back to change*
Kelly: Be careful.
Ariel: I will. Promise.
Kelly: Ken ordered my shirt…*Kelly bit her lip and the girls smiled*
Bethany: It's official!...*Ariel hugged her sister before she left…When Ariel got home she saw Brad and Rachel talking in the doorway*
Ariel: What the hell is this?
Rachel: I was just leaving…*As Rachel walked by Ariel, Ariel grabbed Rachel by her hair and Rachel gasped, looking at Ariel*
Ariel: You see…Where I'm from. This now means you are trying to take my man and I am so sick of you running back to him. You want his best friend's dick so bad. Well, you got it. So stay home and stay there…If you ever show your face here, near my man…Even in Hooters…This goes public…*Ariel pulled out the picture of Rachel naked in Brad's bed and Rachel's eyes went wide*...Thanks for telling me where that stuff was, baby girl. Run along now…*Rachel walked over to her car and sped off. Brad smiled, went to kiss Ariel and she dodge him as she walked inside. Ariel wanted to snap but took a breathe because she knew Rachel was only here to mess with his head*...You wanna tell me what happened with Levi?
Brad: I…I don't know.
Ariel: You don't know or you aren't telling me?
Brad: Ariel.
Ariel: Bradley, you nearly beat him to a pulp! What were you thinking!
Brad: I was thinking that he hurt you, with his words, his hands! I was thinking he shouldn't get to live another day on this earth. I wanted to kill him…I was going to kill him…*Ariel's eyes went wide*...But then you came to mind and I knew you wouldn't want that…That it wouldn't be right. I was thinking that scumbag was low enough to hurt while I was gone! That he didn't have the balls to do it while I was here and he should pay…*Ariel sighed and ran her fingers through her hair*
Ariel: Bradley, you are not in the war anymore. You are home and have to be a civilian!
Brad: Not if you get caught…*Ariel's eyes went wide again*...Would you do it for me?
Ariel: I…
Brad: Answer the question because out there…I saw a woman who would. Answer the question Ariella.
Ariel: I would kill for you.
Brad: So are you mad that I did it or are you mad that I didn't tell you about it?….*Ariel sighed again*...I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. I didn't want you to think of me as a monster.
Ariel: I wouldn't have thought that…*Ariel walked to him and rubbed his chest*
Brad: Don't ever say you'd kill for me. It'll ruin you. It'll change you in ways you thought weren't ever possible. Understand me?...*She nodded and they hugged*
Ariel: Promise me…You'll leave him alone.
Brad: Promise. Did he get the point?
Ariel: He wouldn't even look at me.
Brad: So it worked…*Ariel sighed and looked into his eyes*...I love you.
Ariel: I love you too…Was Rachel getting in your head?...*Brad looked away and then looked back at her*
Brad: Yeah…But I'm okay. Promise baby…*Ariel kissed him and he held her hips as they kissed*
Ariel: Hungry?
Brad: I'll cook. You go shower…*Ariel nodded and they kissed once more. Kelly texted her to make sure she was okay and Ariel told her all was well…..It was a week later and it was Trish's bachelorette. Trish wanted her bachelorette a little early because she wanted one more trip with Jeff before they tied the knot. Ariel set up the beach house they got Trish and Jeff. They weren't too far from home, so the guys came along. Trish just wanted everyone to have a good time and be together. She was happy Jeff had time off to come and he was able to come on their last trip together before the wedding. The girls teased Trish about how she couldn't just wait till their honeymoon. Ariel had decorations saying bride to be and almost married. Brad helped with some things for Jeff and she knew they would love it. Brad handed her the tape as she was putting the last sign up*
Ariel: There…It look okay?
Maria: Beautiful.
Ariel: You mean it?
Kelly: It's Trish. Why would she not like it? You could give her a pen and she'd cry.
Ariel: Ewl. Someone is cranky today.
Kelly: I'm hungry.
Matt: I brought food on the way over babe. It's over there.
Kelly: Don't want that…*Ariel rolled her eyes*
Ariel: Seriously Kels? Go eat. You are killing the vibe and stop starving my niece or nephew. You're being a brat.
Kelly: Bitch.
Ariel: Eh! Go!...*Kelly rolled her eyes and walked to the fridge*
Brad: That's what I'm in for?...*Ariel gave him a look*
Ariel: What are you trying to say?
Brad: Nothing…*He smiled and Ariel kissed him*
Bethany: They just pulled up! She looks so pretty.
Trish: This house is beautiful.
Jeff: And it's all for you…*Trish smiled and he held her hand as they walked in…Everyone yelled "HAPPY BACHELORETTE"*
Trish: Oh my gosh! I love it!
Kelly: I told you…*Ariel smacked Kelly upside her head*...Ariella!...*Ariel hugged Trish*
Trish: You're the best!
Ariel: I hope you like it.
Trish: Of course I do! Thank you.
Bethany: What do you want to do first? It's pushing five.
Trish: We can order pizza and then get ready to go out?
Maria: Let's!...*They ate and mingled. Ariel and Brad walked up, they showered and got ready. Everyone had their own rooms. Maria and Bethany couldn't bring their boyfriends due to them working, so they just decided to share a room. It was a small group since most of the girls were working but Trish was happy with everyone that made it. Ariel pulled her hair back into a slick tight ponytail. Did her full face makeup with a red lip. Her dress was a black sparkle sequin, one shoulder, tight mini dress with a built in choker. Brad had on jeans and button up. He saw her adding her earrings*
Brad: No.
Ariel: No what?
Brad: Ariella, the dress…*She raised an eyebrow*
Ariel: Okay, so then I'll go put my Hooters uniform on.
Brad: You don't wear that in a club.
Ariel: Nothing is showing. I'm covered…*Brad walked to her and grabbed her ass. Ariel bit her lip and smiled at him*
Brad: Your ass is hanging out of your dress.
Ariel: Well, if you would let go of it…It wouldn't be.
Brad: Ariella, I'm not messing around.
Ariel: Bradley, do not be that husband that tells me what to do, what to wear, what to say…When to suck your cock…*Brad raised an eyebrow*...Okay, maybe the when to suck your cock part.
Brad: Then on your knees whore…*Ariel licked his lips and slowly bent down to her knees. Unbuttoned his pants and slowly pulled them down. Ariel rubbed and kissed him through his boxers*...Such a whore baby…*She slowly pulled his boxers, never taking her eyes away from his and he bit his lip*
Bethany: Are you coming or fucking!?
Brad: We'll meet you there!
Bethany: Ewl!...*Ariel smiled and took him in her mouth. Brad moaned and groaned as she bobbed her head*
Brad: Just like that baby…*Ariel stroked him as she bobbed her head*...Uhhh baby!...*Ariel bobbed her head faster and stroked him harder*...Uhhh!
Ariel: Don't get anything on the dress.
Brad: Uhhh Ariella!...*Brad smacked her hand away, kept her head still and stroked himself*...Uhhh!…Open baby…Uhhh shit!...*Ariel opened her mouth, Brad put his head back and moaned through his orgasm. Ariel smiled as she licked her mouth*...Such a good girl…*Brad helped her stand back up*...Keep the dress on…*Ariel smiled and he smacked her ass as she walked to the bathroom to fix her makeup. After they got themselves together and Brad drove to the club*
Trish: Took long enough. What happened?
Ariel: I…I got hungry again…*Maria smiled and Kelly rolled her eyes*...You feel okay to be here.
Kelly: A little. I feel out of place?
Ariel: Outside of your head sister.
Kelly: Yeah, I think so. I can't do anything.
Ariel: We can dance all night! You have a little belly and look great…*Kelly smiled. They danced and drank. By the end of the night Ariel was smashed and Brad had to keep his arm around her*
Kelly: Sister?
Ariel: Babe…Babe.
Brad: Yeah, baby. I got you.
Ariel: I…I can't get in your car.
Bethany: That's not good…*Brad looked at her girls and Kelly looked concerned*
Brad: What's wrong baby?
Ariel: Sp…Spins…*Ariel groaned and held her stomach. Brad took his keys out his back pocket and handed them to Kelly*
Kelly: What are you doing?
Brad: Tending to my fiance…*Brad picked up Ariel bridal style and she wrapped her arms around his neck*...I got you baby.
Ariel: Thanks hunny. You're the best…*The guys looked at him*
Jeff: You're really going to walk? It's fast by car.
Brad: I've carried heavier people…*Brad started walking*...You okay?
Ariel: I want sex…*Brad smiled and chuckled*
Brad: You'll throw up on me.
Ariel: No…*Hiccup*...I won't…*Brad smiled again*
Brad: You will…*Ariel gasped and he looked at her*
Ariel: Put me down. Put me down…*Brad set her down and she ran for the bushes. Brad held her hair that wasn't in the ponytail anymore*...I'm sorry.
Brad: For? Better here than on me…*Ariel got sick more and felt the spins get worse. Brad looked over and saw his truck*
Kelly: Sister…Here. It's bread and water…*Ariel groaned*
Ariel: Thank you. You are amazing…*Ariel sipped the water to rinse her mouth and spit it out*...No one is mad at me right?
Kelly: Stop. I hate when you get like this. No one is mad. We all had a good time…More so you…*Ariel smiled*...You drank a lot.
Ariel: I know. I'm okay…*Ariel sat down on the bench and Brad took her heels off*...Such a good man…*He smiled and kissed her head*
Brad: Go ahead.
Kelly: You sure? I can wait. Drive you both back.
Brad: Yeah, the air will be good for her…*Kelly nodded and got back in the car. Brad sat next to Ariel while she ate and drank*...Feel better my love?
Ariel: A little. I'm gonna hurt in the morning.
Brad: I'll take care of you.
Ariel: I'm ovulating…*Brad gave her this blank look. The alcohol definitely helped with her saying that. She's been wanting to tell him that all day but couldn't the words out*
Brad: That's why you want sex?…You want a baby?...*He held her hand*
Ariel: I want sex because I'm drunk and horny…*He smiled*...But I am ovulating.
Brad: You didn't answer my question.
Ariel: Yes. I want lots and lots of babies with you.
Brad: I want lots of babies with you too. So let's go make one…*He winked at her as he took a piece of her bread and she looked him in the eyes*
Ariel: Really? You want a baby?...*Brad scratched his head out of nerves*
Brad: I…Right now?
Ariel: But you want a baby?
Brad: Babies.
Ariel: If I didn't throw up. I'd kiss you…*He smiled and kissed her head*
Brad: Let's go back and see if we can make this baby…*Brad held her shoes and hand as they walked back. Ariel stumbled as she felt better and Brad laughed at her drunkenness. She laughed at him for laughing at her even though she tried to fight him for laughing at her. They talked and finally made it back to the house*
Kelly: Finally!
Ariel: I'm okay sister. Stop stressing. It's not good for the baby.
Kelly: I was worried.
Brad: I got her.
Ariel: If you'll excuse us. We are going to try and make a baby…*Kelly looked in shock as she saw her sister walk away. Yes, Ariel wanted kids more so now that she was with Brad. Ariel was always on the fence if she really wanted them and Kelly knew her sister was either really drunk or a changed woman. Ariel felt better after her shower, brushed her teeth and got in bed waiting for Brad*...How did I beat you in bed?
Brad: I had to get ready.
Ariel: For? It's just me…*He walked out with a long hard erection and Ariel bit her lip*...Oooo…*Brad slowly climbed in bed, towering over her and they made out with tongue. His phone buzzed and he looked over*...Ignore it.
Brad: What if it's the guys?
Ariel: You are home…*She kissed his chest*...Ignore it Bradley…*She kissed him deeply*...Be here with me…*She kissed his deeply again*...Make love to me baby…*Ariel put his hand to her hot and wet center and she moaned as his hand*...Uhhh!
Brad: Like that baby?
Ariel: Yess!...*He kissed as he rubbed her in smooth circles*...Uhhh baby!...*His phone buzzed again and she saw him look over*...Brad, seriously.
Brad: I'll be quick…*Ariel sighed in anger as he reached for his phone…The guys had a side job for him*
Ariel: No side jobs! Bradley, I swear!
Brad: It's money, Ariella!
Ariel: You aren't even fully back to yourself! Now you are ready for more gaps in your brain and dodging freaking bullets! Damnit Bradley!...*Kelly heard them yelling and Ariel turned over. Brad sighed and kissed her shoulders*...Don't touch me.
Brad: Babe…*Ariel turned back over to face him*
Ariel: I don't want you to go back…Ever!...*Brad caressed her face as he saw her tears*...I want you here for us to get married and have kids. It was hell without you.
Brad: Ariella, it's all I know. How to survive.
Ariel: Well, now you have me. A new reason to survive. You told me I was the reason you fought to come back home. Please…Please, don't leave me again.
Brad: Alright. I'll stay but I say when I'm done. That is my choice…*She sighed and nodded*
Ariel: Fine.
Brad: I love you, Ariella. I will always come back to you.
Ariel: If you love me so much then why are you leaving me again in the first place? You have done enough for this country and I thank you for it but what about me Bradley? I'm gonna be your wife and soon mother of your children.
Brad: My choice…*Ariel closed her eyes and cried in his chest. Brad sighed and pulled her close, wrapped her in his arms*...I love you so much Ariella.
Ariel: I love you too.
