Well... we are getting closer to the bachelorette's parties. And therefore, the wedding... I need a Beta. Anyone? Thanks for the follows, reviews and baskets of fruit delivered to my house (those were not creepy at all).
Rember to love deeply and madly! (just like me!)
CHAPTER 19
Elegations
As if I couldn't fall deeper in love with Paige, she does this. It's no secret that Malcolm and Francis love Paige more than they love any of her aunts and uncles but seeing them play with her always swoon my heart.
-You have to hit them harder, Malcolm!- she says as she shouts to the screen.
-I am doing it, Paige! But your remote is funny.
-That's because you are pulling the cord.-she says as she pauses the game and takes Malcolm's control to fix it.
-Auntie?-I hear Francis say to my fiancée- is mine bouken?
-No, Fran. Is just that Paige's game is arcaic!- Malcolm answers.
-It's not, dear.-Paige says as she kissed the younger kid's forehead and smacks lightly at Francis' half-brother- It's not arcaic! It's an antique, ok?
-It only has 2 buttons and a weird arrow! Seriously, McCullers what's wrong with you?- he asked her.
-It's aunt or Paige. Don't McCullers me, young Ezra!-says my girl before tickling him and jumping over him with Francis climbing Paige's back. I hear the doorbell as the tree of them startled
-Quick! Aria's here and you know she hates you guys playing videogames!- she says to the kids as they run to hide Paige's Nintendo.
-I'm coming!- I say as I hear the bell ringing once again. As I approach the door I glance back to the living room and see them pretending to watch Discovery Channel.
-Hi, Em!- Aria says.
-Hi, Aria! Come inside- I say as I open the door wider for her.
-I'd love to, Em. But I'm actually running late to pick up Ez; his car broke down at Hollis.-she says
-Again? He should go back to pedaling, his car is always broken.-I make a pause to shout to Paige- Lover! Aria's here! So… are you telling me what you three were up to?- I ask. Knowing that the girls were planning a surprise for me and Paige was really stressing since Hanna can come up with really weird ideas.
-You don't get to know until you tie the knot.- she says to me as I fee Paige hugging me by the waist and resting her chin on my shoulder.
-Hello, short stuff!- She says.
-Hi, Paigey!- she's so death.
-I thought I told you not to call me Paigey, woman!
-I thought I told you not to call me short stuff, woman!- Aria answers to Paige.
-I thought I told you to stop bickering, ladies!- I say as I hear them laugh.
-Mommy!- Francis says as he runs towards Aria and gets lifted by her- Auntie says she loves elegations.
-Elegetions, baby?- She says as she questions my girlfriend with her eyes.
-He means alligators, Aria- Malcolm says as he hugs Paige goodbye.- Can we go now? I want to sleep…
-You are such a whining loser, Malcolm- Paige says to him while hugging him tighter.
-I think I don't want to know- Aria says as she picks Francis bag from the floor.
-It's probably best.- Malcolm and Paige say at the same time.
-We better hurry guys. Ez gets cranky under the pouring rain.-Aria says as she briefly hugs Paige and does the same to me.
-Bye, auntie! Bye, auntie! –says Francis.
-See you, Em! Bye, McCullers!- Malcolm says while waving towards the house.
-It's Paige or auntie! Nothing else, Ezra junior!- Paige shouts angrily but I know she loves those kids. We stand there until Aria's car disappears by the corner and then head towards the living room.
-88888888888888888-
-Paige?- I ask not knowing if she's awake.
-Mmmm?
-Can I ask you something?
-Does it involve calculus or math? - She says in a low whisper.
-No, silly.- I say as she turns around and cuddles closer to me.
-Then shoot.
-Do you…- I pause to breath in- are you sure…
-I want kids.-she says to me as she lifts her head with her arm to look me in the eyes.
-how do you…
-know?- she says completing my phrase again.- I've known you wanted kids since Francis arrived to our lives. And you know I love those kids… but can you imagine a little Emily? Or a mini Paige? Running, swimming, crying, pooping? I want tons of them- her face lights when she talks about our future. Like she can't wait… just like I can't wait.
