When Vincent pulled up to their new house the next night, he could see Gabriella moving around in their living room. He crossed his arms over his steering wheel as he watch her pull things out a box. She was hanging up pictures and putting things away. He couldn't help but smile. It felt right to see her things with his, to see her moving around in a house he had bought. In the morning they were going to the bank so he could add her name to the house deed. Then the house would be offically be theirs.
He sighed and let his chin come to rest on his arms. He had loved Ashley, he knew that, but he loved Gabriella in a different way. He had never wanted children with Ashley. Kids just hadn't been something he was ever into but that had changed. He could see Gabriella and himself having a couple of babies, maybe a cat or another dog. The thought surprised him. Six months into their relationship and he was thinking about kids? He started to laugh as he got out of his truck. Yeah, this girl had him wrapped around her tight.
" Babe?" He called out as he walked into the house.
" Living room." She said.
" Hi Vicky." He said as he rubbed the top of the dog's head while he passed her. He took his jacket off and tossed it on the couch. Gabriella looked across the room at him and smiled.
" Hi." She said. Vincent grinned.
" Hi." He said, coming forward. He took a hold of her upper arms and leaned down to kiss her. Gabriella's own hands came to his sides at the same time his lips brushed against hers. " Hi." He whispered.
" Hi." She whispered. He grinned again as he pulled away.
" What are you doing?" He asked, squeezing her arms before letting her go.
" Just putting things away. I made dinner, you hungry?" She asked.
" Yeah but I'm freezing too." He said, grabbing her again. Gabriella laughed as he hugged her tightly. "We have that big ass tub in our bathroom, a fireplace we haven't tried out so..."
" Why do I feel like you are hinting at something?" Gabriella asked as he rubbed his face into her hair.
" I'm not hinting." He said. " Let's eat, take a nice bath with those jets, start a fire, then you can let me ravish you." Vincent said.

After dinner, Gabriella was drawing them a bath while Vincent was taking Vicky for a walk around their back yard. Gabriella pulled her hair up into a bun then added some bubbles to the bath. She stripped down her clothes then climbed into their large tub. She laid her head back and had her arms resting on either side of the tub. She closed her eyes and sighed.
" Oh shit." Vincent's soft curse made her smile. " Now this is how I'd like you to greet me every night." Gabriella laughed and raised her head up to look at him.
" Are you coming in?" She purred to him.
He started stripping off his clothes as fast as he could, making her smile. He pushed Vicky out of the room, then shut the door. He walked over to the tub and took off his boxers. She moved so he could climb in behind her. His arms went around her shoulders and he pulled her back into his chest. Gabriella closed her eyes and brought her hands to his thighs as he started to rub his knuckles up and down her arms.
" I think we should talk about your dad." Vincent said softly.
" Really? When we're naked and in a bubble bath?" She asked. " I know you want to do other things. You're hard as hell." Vincent laughed.
" Yeah, of course I am. But I need to ask you some things and tell you other things." He said. He brushed his lips against the side of her head. She sighed deeply.
" What?" She asked as she made sure to rub her ass against his hardness.
" Stop it." Vincent said through gritted teeth, making her laugh again but she stilled her moments.
" Alright. Say it." She said.
" The judge gave your dad death. After she announcement her judgment, she called me into her chambers. She asked me what I thought about it. I told her that if if she was dead set on that then I thought to lessen every one's pain he should be put to death quickly." Gabriella sighed again.
" And?" She asked quietly.
" And he is scheduled for lethal injection in a month. We are allowed to go and watch."
" No." She said quickly as she shook her head. " I saw my mother died, I don't need to see him too."
" Do you want to see him before it happens? We can go and you could have some closure." Vincent offered.
" No. I don't want to see him." Gabriella said.
" I think you need to think about that, Babe. Just give it a few days to think because once he's gone, he's gone." Vincent said. Gabriella pulled away and looked at him.
" How could you go and see him after what he did to you? How could you be in the same room with him?" She asked.
" I couldn't by myself. I don't want too. I don't want to hear anything he has to say but if you need to, or you want to, then I want to be there for you. I don't want you to have to go through it alone. I can put that aside if you need me." He reached through the water and took a hold of her. He pulled her back to him. He turned her around and held her too him. " I just want you to take some think and really think about this. This is huge. I don't want you to go through life with regret. Maybe you could just write him a note if you don't think you can see him. So just think about it, for me."
" I'll think about it but I know for sure I don't want to see him die. I just can't." She said, closing her eyes again. Vincent started rubbing her arms again and let his head some to rest against the side of hers again.
" I'm only asking you to think, Babe." He said softly. She was quiet again for a few minutes.
" How is he going to die? Is he going to suffer? I know he deserves to but..." Her voice faded off.
" He won't suffer. The judge said they will start an IV on him then inject him with three different kinds of medicine. One of the medications will put him to sleep. The second one will slow his heart then stop it. The third one will stop his breathing. The whole thing will take about 15 minutes." He said softly. She swallowed hard but nodded. He moved his head to look at her profile. Her eyes were shut but she was crying. He wrapped his arms around her. When she tensed up, he squeezed her. " It's okay to cry." He said.
" I just don't understand him. We did everything when I was growing up. He took me camping, fishing, I just don't understand what happen to him. He was supposed to walk me down the aisle." She said.
" He's sick, Babe. He knows it. He admitted it. He doesn't really understand how it happen either." Vincent said. Gabriella wiped her cheeks and took a shaky breath.

Alice watched them through her binoculars while she frowned. Vincent was sitting on the
couch with Gabriella over him. He was holding tight onto her hips, moving her up and down him. Alice narrowed her eyes as his head fell back on the couch. His eyes were shut and his mouth was open. She couldn't see Gabriella's face but she was gripping his shoulders hard. Vincent was hot and hard as he disappeared inside her then reappeared again.
When he started picking up their pace, he flipped them over so she was laying on the couch with him over her. He had one leg bent on the couch with the other on the floor. Her hands went over her head to grab the arm of the couch while he pumped into her hard. He was holding her hips still. Alice held her breath as she watched him work. His stomach was tight and he was more build then she had thought. She smiled as she flushed. Soon she would know what it felt like to have him moving above her. Soon she would be the one to ran her nails down his chest.

Gabriella was warm and comfortable as she laid sandwich between Vincent and Vicky. He was laying against her back with his arm around her waist while Vicky was curled up against her stomach. Both were sleeping peacefully. Gabriella had her eyes closed and was smiling. This was what she had always wanted for herself but never thought she would ever have because of Shane. She wasn't sure if she could see him or even want too but Vincent had asked her to think about it and she would. She understood what he was saying. Once Shane was gone, he was gone for good. She sighed and started to stroke Vicky. Vincent nestled his face into her hair more, bring the smile back to her.
