Ch 27

When Kerrie pulled up to Sam's rental Dec was sound asleep. Sam carried him in and Kerrie tucked him into bed and set up his nightlight. Sam watched in the doorway as Kerrie kissed Dec's forehead. Kerrie and Sam left the room.

"Have you shifted tonight?"

"I have, went for a long run before I came to the hospital." Kerrie smirked as Sam wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I can feel the magic around you." Kerrie said kissing Sam's neck. Sam groaned in response and Kerrie's hands went to cup his ass. "Last night was the best sex I've ever had and I want you so bad." She whispered as Sam scooped her up and carried her down the hall.

Kerrie lay awake over an hour later, Sam was asleep snoring softly with his arm draped over her hip. Kerrie grinned, she hadn't felt this way ever. Sure at one time she was in love with Jimbo, Dec's dad, and even for a few months she thought she felt something for Eric but both of those instances were nothing compared to this. When Sam touched her she thought her heart would burst though her chest and the way he looked at her made her feel amazing. Kerrie's mind wandered to her sister, she was engaged.

"Oh my...she didn't even call me." Kerrie whispered to herself as she frowned. Kerrie had helped Jake pick out the ring and went over his proposal idea, even helped him organize some of it. Kerrie shook her head, Kayte would call her in the morning. Kerrie did text her about Ewan and when she didn't write back she should have known.

Kerrie and Sam woke up to a loud knock before Declan came jumping on the bed. Kerrie sighed glad both of them were covered by the sheet.

"Wake up sleepyheads! I want to go see my new cousin. Mommy, are we still going to decorate the house?"

"Dec, why don't you go get dressed? I put your clothes on the chair in the room and go watch some TV for a bit while I shower and get dressed ok?" Dec nodded and finally realized his mother and Sam were in the same bed. "Mommy, aren't only married people supposed to sleep in the same bed?" Kerrie's cheeks flushed a bright red.

"Well... we had to make an exception since there are only two beds in the house." Sam said quickly trying not to laugh.

"Ok." Declan said hurrying out of the room closing the door behind him.

"Good save." Kerrie said as Sam pulled Kerrie back into a laying position. She giggled as Sam turned her on her side.

"Do you think we can be quiet enough?" He whispered running his hand down her thigh. Kerrie muttered a quick spell as the door locked and Sam grinned.

2 hours later Kerrie and Declan were on their way back to Shreveport to pick up decorations and stop at the food store to get the house ready to Gerry and Becca's return in a few days. Kerrie would also be bringing their things over to Sam's rental since Becca's parents would be arriving that night. After decorating, stocking the cabinets, cleaning, and packing up their stuff Kerrie and Declan stopped by the hospital. Becca was walking the hallway grimacing as she walked.

"You'll be sore for awhile but it's so worth it." Kerrie said as Becca smiled.

"I'll walk with you to the nursery. Gerry just left a few minutes ago to go shower and bring me back a huge donut." Kerrie smirked. "You look happy." Becca said with a knowing look.

"Becca, mommy and Sam were sleeping-"

"Declan, not the time." Kerrie said giving him a look as Becca giggled.

"Dec, I like to talk all the time too but sometimes we have to be careful what we talk about." Becca said as Dec nodded.

"Ok, I'll try."

"We cleaned the house and stocked up on food. Do you need anything else?" Kerrie asked as they looked through the glass at Ewan who was sleeping peacefully.

"You two didn't have to do that."

"Already done. I know you two will be preoccupied with Ewan so I set up a food delivery plan for the next 3 weeks till you all get settled in."

"Kerrie, you are so thoughtful."

"I know how it is with a new baby and all." When Gerry came back Kerrie and Declan said their good-byes and headed for Bon Temps. After Kerrie pulled in the Merlotte's parking lot she was happy to see a text from Kayte. 'Tried to call. Call me ASAP.' Kerrie pressed her sister's name and turned to Declan.

"Good news." Kerrie put it on speaker.

"I'm engaged!" Kayte shrieked.

"Glad it's on speaker and not at my ear." Kerrie said with a laugh.

"Auntie's getting married!" Declan said happily.

"I am. We're on the way to Boston. I wish you two were here to celebrate. I did get the text about Ewan, I called Gerry and sent them chocolates and flowers. Ker, you'll be my maid of honor right?"

"Do you honestly need to ask?" Kerrie said with tears filling her eyes.

"Mommy, is happy crying." Declan said glad that he knew the difference between types of crying.

"Me too." Kayte said.

"Hey little man, your gonna be in the wedding too." Jake said grabbing the phone.

"So I can call you Uncle Jake now?" Kerrie laughed.

"Yes, you can. We gotta go. Kayte says she'll call you later on."

"Ok, bye guys. Congrats!" Kerrie said as Jake hung up. Declan unhooked himself and climbed into the front seat to hug his mom.
