Okay well this chapter takes a turn.. I'm not sure how you'll all like this but it's what came into mind and I made it happen..
Move in day.
I can't believe I'm seeing our house for the first time! This is so exciting.
Teddy and Phoebe have been talking non-stop. I think they're more excited than I am. Taylor and Gail are already there with Sophie waiting for us to arrive. Gail is in love with her new place. She says she'll be living with three man babies now.
When we arrive and I gape at our new house. Okay.. this is huge! Bigger than the pictures let on to be. The kids and I get out the car and walk in holding hands.
Holy shit.. this is my place now.
We walk upstairs with Christian trailing behind. "Kids, go pick out the room you want." He tells the kids and they run off leaving Christian and I alone. Christian takes my hand and leads us to what I'm guessing is our room.
"This looks like a suite, oh my god." I say. He leads me into the closet and I almost melt. This is heaven. One side is clearly for him while the other is mine. There's so much space for everything! "I could live in this closet"
"Come on, you'll like the bathroom more." He leads me into our bathroom still holding my hands. There's a huge shower and there's a huge tub! There's a double sink too. "What do you think?"
"Holy hell, Christian, this is amazing! This is more than I could ever imagine! Thank you" I kiss him.
"Come on, let's see what rooms the kids chose." I nod and follow behind. When we walk down the hallway the kids are chatting about something.
"What's up, kids? Pick a room already?" Christian asks.
"Yeah! But we were wondering if we could paint our room.." Phoebe says.
"Of course, how about we do it today? I'll get Taylor to buy the paint."
"Yay!" Both kids scream. "I want red!" Teddy says.
"And I want a pretty blue! Or a pretty green. Surprise me." I laugh at her statement. My girl is something special alright.
Christian chuckles and takes his phone out. He tells Taylor to buy red pain and pretty blue or green paint. "Surprise her," he says on the phone with a laugh. "Her words."
Christian and I look through the suitcase and get some clothes to change. I change Phoebe into an old t-shirt and leggings and change Teddy's shirt. I grab one of Christian's t-shirts and change. When he sees what I'm wearing he smirks.
Taylor arrive back with all the supplied thirty minutes later. Red paint for Teddy and Aqua Blue for Phoebe. Sophie runs up to help Phoebe with her room so I stay with them. Luke comes up and goes with Teddy to do his room and Christian goes as well. Taylor goes back down to help Gail unpack.
Hours go by and we're half done. We still need to do a second coat. We all take a break to eat and explore the house a little more. Christian first shows us the backyard. The kids love the fact that they now have a pool for the summer. He then shows us the living room, kitchen and library room.
"It's so cool," Phoebe admires.
"And big!" Teddy adds.
After that Christian takes us to the basement where the home gym is at. Holy fuck, it's has pretty much everything!
"Now the best part," he says leading us towards another room. "The game room."
When we all walk in I gasp.
"Wow.." The kids say at the same time.
There's table tennis, a pool table, an Xbox and play station set up with a tv on the wall next to the air hockey. Christian leads us in more and there's a bar with cabinets full of candy and popcorn oh and liquor.. and that's when I notice the home theater all the way at the end.
That TV is fucking huge! Oh god and the mattress on the floor.. I'm in love! Oh so many pillows too. Oh god.
"Holy shit-"
"MOMMY THATS A BAD WORD!" Phoebe yells. "Say sorry!"
"You're right I'm sorry," I smile. "I won't say it again."
Christian snorts.
"Mom, you're grounded for a day!" Teddy says making Christian laugh
"Nothing fun for you." He smirks and I give him a look.
"This is amazing.. You outdid yourself." I say a few seconds later.
"I even have poker in here," he point to the area I didn't even notice. Right near the bar.
I love it. It's great for family time or adult time.
"Come on, let's finish painting those rooms." I nod and take his hand.
Around 7pm we finish painting the kids room. We keep the doors open, even the balcony door, to let the rooms dry completely. The kids take a shower first in our room then we let them go down to the game room with Luke.
Christian and I take a shower next and unpack as much as we can for our room in the next two hours.
"We're going to have a full bed tonight," I say. "I don't think we've sleep with the kids in bed."
"Well now we have a great first here," he smiles. "we all share a bed."
}-{
It's Wednesday morning and we're getting the kids ready for to take them to Grace.
Yesterday, Christian and I placed an order for our wedding cake and even managed to finish unpacking everything. There's still some organizing to do but that can be done tonight.
Today is our bachelor/bachelorette so we'll be dropping the kids off for the day. My mom will be there too.
"Ana," Christian says. "I talked to Jessica on the 31st I don't know if she told you."
"About?" I ask. "OH!" I catch on. "That's nice of you, what did she say?"
"She was surprised at first but it's no big deal, she will need someone to walk with her so why not just make her husband a groomsmen."
"True, did you talk to Luke." I smirk.
"Yes," he mumbles. "He's a groomsmen now only because Mia needs someone."
I laugh at how ridiculous he is at times. But that's my man.
When Christian and I go drop off the kids we stay for a few minutes chatting Grace and my mom. They begin to tell us what they have planned for the day.
Christian and I say goodbye to our moms and the kids and head out the door. I'm busy looking down at my phone while we walk out but I feel Christian tense up a bit. When I look up I see what's caught his attention.
Elena.
Christian POV.
Taylor, last night, told me they were able to get an investigation going, with Elena. They still hadn't question her which made me worried that she'll leave the country soon on one of her little vacations she always takes. Taylor assured me she can't go anywhere. Welch has been keeping track of her and noticed she had been planning to leave soon. He alerted my lawyer and my lawyer sent her a letter saying if she leaves the country she'll be arrested at the airport. "Wouldn't want to make a scene, right?" The letter said.
It was something to scare her and give her a warning of what's coming her way. This morning, Taylor said, cops will be coming in to take her into interrogation today. So what the hell is she doing here?
"You!" Elena points to me. "Just the person I've been looking for. I heard you moved out of escala."
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"What am I doing here?" She laughs bitterly. "How dare you! How fucking dare you?"
"How dare I?" I'm fuming. "You need to go."
"I need you to take back whatever you're doing! First I get a letter yesterday, and this morning after coming home from bank I find cops knocking on my door. I put two and two together you son of a bitch! You're going with that whole shit your little whore told you to do. You have no proof I killed Leila. That it was my fault."
"Jokes on you, old hag, Christian has security cameras installed in his office." Ana speak up. She turns pale when she hears what Ana said.
"YOU ASSHOLE! I CANT GO HOME NOW. COPS ARE LOOKING FOR ME! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU?"
"Christian, what is going on?"
Mom.
"Mom it's nothing, Elena will be leaving now." I say sternly while staring at Elena.
"Oh no.. If I'm going down. You're going down with me."
"Elena, what are you talking about." Mom asks.
"Your stupid stupid son wants to throw me in jail."
"Excuse me, Elena, but don't talk about my son-"
"Oh shut up!" Elena retorts. "You're stupid too! Couldn't even raise Christian right. To a point where I had to step in."
"ELENA DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE SAY ANOTHER WORD AND DON'T SPEAK TO MY MOTHER THAT WAY" I raise my voice. "Are we fucking clear?"
"No we are not. Oh Grace.. You bad bad mother. I had to whip him up into shape."
"ELENA I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH" I yell.
Mom looks like she's about to burst into tears. "What do you mean?"
"Elena.." I warn one last time. But I know I can't stop what's about to happen. Elena is about to spew her venom.
"You couldn't put a stop to his behavior his teenage years so I did. I made him my little bitch. I whipped and spanked him when he misbehaved. Rewarded him when he did things right." She smirks. "It was so fun having my way with him."
"Whipped him?" Mom sobs. This is my fault. "Oh god.. Aren't you into bdsm.. Oh my god! You got my son into that before he was even age of consent! How dare you?!"
"How dare I?" Elena laughs. "He wasn't opposed to it, darling. Plus, I made him the man he is today."
"No Elena. That's where you're wrong. He's the man he is today because of himself. Need I remind you how he cut you out of his life when Teddy was born? A stupid loan doesn't give you credit" Ana comes for my defense.
"No one was talking to you, you little dimwit."
"I DON'T CARE! The fact that you came here to cause a seen is fucking insane. What are you getting out of this? You're still going to jail!"
The next few seconds happen so quick. All I see is Elena coming towards Ana to hit her but Ana ducks and pushes Elena to the floor while getting on top, throwing punches.
Holy shit, who the fuck knew Ana could hit like that. I snap out of it and tell my mom to call the cops.
I bend down wrapping my arms around Ana "Ana let go of her hair stop hitting." She doesn't stop. In fact, she keeps hitting while Elena tries to get another hit at her. "Ana, that's fucking enough, stop it." I growl in her ear and she lets go.
Dad arrives home. When he steps out the car he's welcomed by a lovely scene.
"What the hell is going on?" He asks.
"Grab Elena, and don't let go of her." I say. "NOW!" So my dad does. He grabs her by her arms not letting go.
"Mm, Carrick, after all these years you finally put your hands on me. Took you a while." Elena purrs making Ana try to escape from my arms.
"You tried to fuck my husband?!" Mom says. "Carrick?!"
Hasn't my mom gotten enough news today?
"Grace.. Honey.. Not right now. We'll talk inside." Dad says with a pleading look so my mom drops it. A few minutes later the cops arrive and Elena looks defeated yet satisfied by what she's done today. I talk to the cop and then they take her away.
"I think we all need to talk inside.." Ana says finally relaxing a bit in my arms.
"Honey," mom says. "You have a broken lip. Let me tell Carla to take the kids upstairs I don't think it's right for them to see you both like this."
What a fucking mess.
I'm going into hiding now.. actually I'm not since I'm working on a second update for today.
