We're now in LA, back at Mike's condo and we have a charity event tonight. Aly and I are awake and changed for the day, sitting outside at the table.
"You know I think we should go shopping today for dresses for tonight."
"Ooh sounds fun."
"Only because we haven't been shopping for dresses in a while."
"Very true."
"Plus I could use a new dress to drive Alex crazy with again."
"Driving them crazy is oh so fun." She laughs.
"Yes it is."
"Speaking of them. Should we take them with?"
"Well they've never went with us dress shopping before, maybe we should this time."
"This could be interesting." She snickers.
"Oh yeah."
"I can only imagine what they'll get up to."
"Probably would want us to try on everything."
"I wouldn't doubt it."
"Just until they find the one that looks perfect on us."
"Right."
"This is gonna be fun."
"Oh yeah." Aly grins.
"By the way...nice marks on your neck. Alex better hope you can cover those." She snickers.
"Shark boy." I sigh, growling a little.
"You didn't know about those did you?"
"No."
"Nice." She laughs.
"I'm gonna have to talk to him about that."
"Somebody's in troubleeee." She snickers.
"Just a bit."
She snickers even more.
"He's been awful aggressive lately, touchy feely...everything."
"Huh. Interesting."
"I don't know what it is."
"Well maybe he's really into you being pregnant."
"Maybe...who knows." I shrug.
She shrugs too.
"It's not like I'm complaining or anything." I laugh.
"Of course not." She laughs too.
Then the sliding door opens and Mike walks out, looking half asleep and his hair a mess.
"Oh look who's up." I laugh, looking at him.
"Nice hair." She giggles.
"Shush." He says yawning once he reaches the table.
"You still seem tired, what'd you get up for?" She asks him.
"You left me..."
"Awwww...I'm sorry."
"Woke up and you weren't there."
"Sorry." She reaches out and plays with his fingers.
"It's okay."
"You want me to come back in there?"
"Please?"
"Alright." She agrees, getting up.
"Have fun." I snicker.
She rolls her eyes a little and laughs.
"Later Dolce."
"Later." I repeat.
"Come on sleepyhead." She says to Mike, lacing their fingers and leading him inside.
She closes the door behind her an heads back to the bedroom, closing that door before going over to the bed and laying down next to him. He snuggles up to her and lays his head on her chest, his arms draped across her belly. He was so comfortable, it didn't take him long to fall back asleep. She runs her nails over his scalp soothingly while her free hand picks up her phone so she won't get bored. After sitting outside for a while, I decided to head back inside. When I did, I grabbed something to drink first before heading back to the bedroom. I don't see Alex in bed anymore when I walk in, but then the bathroom door opens and he walks out with a towel wrapped around him, clearly from just taking a shower. My eyebrows raise up and I bite my lip slightly as I look him over. It takes him quite a bit to realize I'm standing there since his back was facing me at the time, until he turned around and saw me. Alex smirks as he sees that I've spaced out while staring at him. He of course walks over to me, and I'm still spaced out. So he leans down and kisses me to snap me out of it. I snap out of it and kiss him back. He pulls away before I could respond any more.
"Welcome back to earth." He chuckles.
"Haha." I say dryly.
"Not my fault I happened to walk in as you were coming out of the bathroom...like that."
Alex snickers.
"I have great timing."
"Apparently."
"But anyways, go back to getting changed."
"Maybe I don't want to now."
"Oh no, you need to change." I shake my head.
"Uh huh...you may be saying that, but your eyes are saying something else." He smirks.
"Alex." I say warningly.
"Yes?"
"Go put your clothes on."
"Are you sure now?"
"Yes."
"Positive?" He asks, getting closer.
"Positive." I say firmly, scooting back a bit.
"Okay." He adds, backing up and going back over to his things.
Alex pulls out his clothes and gets dressed.
"The jeans again...you know me so well with what I like." I snicker, walking over and falling back on the bed.
"I know." He chuckles.
"And I have good news. You and Mike get to come with me and Aly when we go shopping for dresses for tonight."
"Oh really." Alex looks interested.
"Yup."
"Sounds good."
"I know you both are gonna go crazy with the dresses too for us."
Alex just grins.
"I do have something to ask you though. Lately you've been like more touchy feely, aggressive...everything. Why is that, just wondering."
Alex rubs the back of his neck, looking sheepish.
"You can tell me. But if you don't have a reason, it's okay. It's not like I'm complaining."
"I can't help it. Knowing that you're pregnant with our baby is just..." He trails off, rubbing his neck still.
"It's okay, I get it."
I sit up and grab his free hand.
"Really. Its fine. I was just curious." I add.
"Remember, I love you." I continue.
"I know." He says quietly, smiling at me.
"Well we're basically the only ones awake right now. Except for Aly, she's back in the bedroom with Mike probably sleeping again. I'm surprised you didn't get up to come find me."
"I was going to."
"But you changed your mind?"
"Yeah, decided to take a shower."
"As I saw when I walked in here."
Alex snickers.
"But I do say we go out for breakfast or something. Pass the time by until later."
"Sure."
"Alright, let's go then.
We get our things and go out to breakfast. Even at breakfast while we were waiting for everything to be brought to us, he couldn't stop being cuddly.
"Alright cuddly, here comes the food." I say to him amusedly.
He reluctantly stops being cuddly, and the food is set down on the table. We start to eat and we talk occasionally. After a while we both finish and Alex pays. By the time we get back to the condo, Mike's fully awake this time, she's sitting in the living room, currently beating him in a video game. He's whining and she's laughing.
"You can't win all the time." She adds.
"Oh come on don't be pouty." She says to him.
"But it's my game."
Then he sulks because she won. She slides over and presses herself against him, looking up at him through her lashes.
"Oh not that face."
She sticks out her bottom lip in a pout.
"Ohhhh...fine..."
She keeps it going until he makes a move.
"I won't be pouty anymore..."
She makes a noise of agreement and keeps making the face to see how long it takes before he'll kiss her. It doesn't take very long, because his lips had pressed to hers, to make her stop the pouty face that she was making. She kisses back eagerly and I exchange an amused look with Alex. Then we decide to sneak by and go back to the bedroom, leaving them to their alone time. She presses closer to Mike, gripping his shirt with one hand, the other holding onto his arm. He has a hand on her hip and one cupping her face. He decides to take her bottom lip between his and nibbles on it gently like always. She makes a quiet noise, tightening her grip on his arm. He smiles, before pulling her closer and onto his lap. She shifts around a bit, getting comfortable on his groans quietly before holding her still by her hips.
"Stop moving..." He mumbles.
"I was getting comfy."
"Well you also know what moving around like that does."
She giggles a little.
"So stay still...please."
"I'll try."
"Ok, as long as you do that."
She nods lightly. Then he goes back to pulling her bottom lip between his. She whines softly. He nibbles on her lip again, before releasing it and kissing her normally this time. She cups the back of his neck, pushing her lips harder against his. He makes a muffled noise, letting her take complete control over everything. She makes sure to kiss him thoroughly and passionately, running her nails up and down his chest and abs. She feels him tense under her fingers as she runs her nails across his abs. She giggles faintly and slides her hands under his shirt, tracing his abs with her nails. He tenses more and he shifts a bit. She giggles again into the kiss, feeling the effect she's having on him. Then she purposely drags her fingers over to his indents slowly, before pressing her fingers into them. Mike goes really tense and lets out a mildly loud groain into the kiss. She keeps the pressure on his indents, smirking a little. He can't take anymore, and suddenly gets up from the couch still holding onto her and not breaking the kiss still. She yelps slighly and clings to him, wrapping her legs around him. He goes back into the bedroom and closes the door with his foot, before going over to the bed and sitting on the edge of it while holding her, so she's still sitting on his lap. She presses herself closer, her stomach pressing into his. He ends up moving backwards, until he's laying back on the bed, with her following. As she follows him down, he tucks her in and rolls so that she ends up underneath him. He grins and then starts to kiss back with just as much intensity as her. She drags her nails across his neck. He growls this time, and his grip on her gets tighter. She then decides to try something different and goes in for a french kiss. After she goes in for it, she waits and sees how he reacts to it. It takes a few seconds but then Mike responds eagerly.
As he does that, his hands start to roam before he slips them under her shirt and moves his fingers along her sides. She shivers lightly, particularly when he traces over her tattoo. Then he takes one hand and runs his fingers along her waistline. She shivers again and starts to pull up on his shirt. He pulls his hands away from her waistline and grabs hers, pulling them away as well. She whines softly but soon goes quiet as Mike turns his full attention to the french kissing. After a while he starts to slowly ease away from the french kissing, and he goes back to normal kissing before pulling away and leaning his forehead against hers. She lays there with her eyes closed, breathing heavily.
"Don't want to get too out of control. There's shopping to do soon, like you told me."
She nods slowly.
"You can come shopping...if you want to." She says after catching her breath enough to speak.
"Really?" He asks excitedly.
"Yes." She giggles.
"I'd love to come."
"Good." She smiles.
He kisses her once, before moving and laying next to her. She rolls onto her side and snuggles up to him.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
He then rests a hand on her stomach, and rubs gently.
"Don't be surprised if she starts moving, I had Reeses a little while ago and she seems to like those because she almost always moves after I have them."
"Must love chocolate as much as you do." He chuckles.
"Apparently."
"Looks like she's gonna be just like you."
"Maybe so. Seems like she's got my love of jellybeans and chocolate. Wonder what she'll get from you."
"My awesomeness."
Aly lets out a laugh.
"Of course she will." She says, still laughing.
"I meant other than that." She adds amusedly.
"Right right. Who knows what she'll get from me."
"I hope she gets your eyes."
"That'd be nice." He nods.
"Yours would be just as amazing." He adds, kissing her head.
"Well I know this, it's very likely she's going to be blonde haired as a child."
"Oh right, because you used to be blonde."
"Between your lighter color and my history of being blonde when I was a kid, its probably going to happen to her. My hair didn't start getting darker until I was in 4th or 5th grade."
"Right."
She goes to say something else but stops as she feels the start of a flutter in her lower belly.
"There she goes. I told you she would."
"Oh yeah, I can feel it. If she's this active now, just wait until she really starts moving in there."
"I know."
"That should be interesting."
"Mmhmm." She nods in agreement.
"So when are we going shopping exactly?"
"I'm not sure. We should probably go soon though. Text one of them, my phone should be near here somewhere. I'm not moving, I like feeling her moving in there."
He smiles and nods, taking his hand away and looking around for her phone. He finally finds it and he sends me a text asking me when we're all going shopping. I respond and say that we can go now. He replies and says 'Just as soon as Savannah stops moving.'. I send an 'awwww' with a smiley face back. After a minute I knocked on their door and Mike replies so we know it's okay to come in. Alex and I walk in.
"She's moving again?" I ask.
"Uh huh. I think it's the Reeses. She really likes them apparently."
"I told you so." I laugh.
"You guys can come over and feel if you want."
"Sure why not." I reply, walking over and placing my hand on her stomach.
Alex does too and Aly looks amused as she lays there with three different hands on her stomach. Mine, Mike's and Alex's.
"Still amazing." I smile.
"I know." She smiles too.
Well, we should let you let her calm down. We'll wait out in the living room." I add, taking my hand off her stomach.
"Okay."
Alex removes his hand, and then we leave the bedroom and sit on the couch while we wait. She moves slowly and sits up to see if she'll stop moving. It takes a while, but she does stop moving.
"Okay she stopped."
"Would you like me to get your shoes for you?" Mike asks.
"Please."
"Of course." He grins, sliding off the bed and going over and getting her shoes.
He helps her put them on and she kisses him lightly.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
She grabs her phone and her purse and they go out to the living room.
"Now we're ready."
"Okay good." I nod and Alex and I get up.
Then we walked over to the door and head out to the car, heading to whatever store we can find to get dresses. We find a nice place on the outskirts of a mall.
"Now the fun part." I laugh.
Aly laughs and agrees as we walk in. We split up to go searching. Mike goes with Aly while Alex goes with me. I start to look through the dresses, keeping in mind how much Alex loves when I wear red. The ones I was looking through, none of them seemed to really jump out at me and grab my attention. That's when Alex tapped me on the shoulder after looking himself. I turn around to see him holding a red dress.
"Oooh." I raise my eyebrows and reach out for it to look at it better.
"That one's interesting."
"I know, that's part of why I picked it up."
"And another part is because it's red." I grin.
Alex grins sheepishly.
"I know what you want. You want me to go try this on."
He nods vigorously.
"Come on..." I giggle, walking to the dressing rooms.
Alex follows me with a grin on his face. We get to the rooms and I stop before going back in.
"Dress please."
He hands it to me, pouting slightly.
"No you aren't coming in with me." I tell him.
"Awwww."
"We're in public and there are cameras." I scold him lightly.
"That's what our own bedroom back at the condo is for." I add.
"You can wait. It won't kill you." I finish.
"...fine."
I reach up and kiss him.
"You'll be fine." I say before ducking into the dressing room.
It takes a while, but I get into the dress. I manage to get everything but the zipper in the back.
"Okay Alex, you're gonna have to do something for me. I'm coming out, but I need help with the zipper."
"Okay."
I unlock the door and then turn around in the doorway. He walks over and helps with the zipper.
"Thank you." I say, before turning around and walking out of the doorway.
"You're welcome." He replies, looking me up and down.
"Okay, so is this the one?"
"Oh yeah. You look amazing love."
"Probably even more amazing since you did pick this out."
"It looks even better than I thought."
"Charmer." I grin.
"Because I love you." He smiles.
"And I love you too."
Alex steals a kiss.
"Okay, I should go get changed."
"Alright. Need help with the zipper again?"
"Oh you would love that wouldn't you?"
"I was just asking." He smirks.
"Uh huh...suuure."
"I'm serious."
"Well I appreciate you asking, but I think I'll be good."
"Okay."
"Maybe later tonight after the charity even you can." I smirk as I walk away.
A grin crosses his face. I go back into the room and lock the door, before changing. Once I'm all changed, I come back out with the dress in hand. Alex steals another kiss.
"Now let's go see how Aly and Mike are doing."
"Alright." He agrees.
We walk around the store for a bit, until we find her and Mike searching for a dress for her. It's obvious from the look on her face that she's a little frustrated. Mike shows her another dress and she shakes her head.
"Want some extra help?" I ask.
She nods slightly.
"Just remember to watch the cleavage and the belly area." She sighs.
"Right." I nod.
She returns to flipping through the dresses until Mike puts a shimmery white dress in her vision. Her eyes follow it as he brings it back to him.
"...I like that." She says quietly, reaching out to touch it.
"I had a feeling you would." He grins.
She takes it from him.
"Off to the dressing room I go."
We all follow as she goes over to the dressing rooms. We wait outside it as she walks in and locks it, starting to change into the dress. After a minute or two we hear the door unlock and she steps out, a small smile on her face.
"Oooooh! You look really pretty!" I exclaim.
"Thanks." She blushes a little.
"The bottom part is my favorite." Mike adds about the slit in the bottom.
"Of course it is." She laughs.
"What bottom part?" Alex asks.
She slides her left leg forward, showing there's a slit up to mid thigh.
"You would." I snicker.
Alex snickers too and Mike looks a little sheepish.
"So is it a keeper?"
She looks in the mirror and then nods, smiling.
"Yeah."
"Yay."
She goes and changes back into her clothes, bringing the dress back out with her. We go pay for the dresses before leaving.
"So where to now?"
"Lunch?"
"Yeah lunch sounds good."
The boys run out to the car and drop off our dresses before we go deeper into the mall to get to the food court. After we get there, we find where we want to get food from, and we look at the menu and choose what we want before going up and ordering. We get our food and sit down to eat. We all talk amongst ourselves while we eat, and once we were all done we got up and threw our trash away.
"Hmm where to next? Bath and Body?" Aly asks me.
"Ooooh yeah."
We head off in that direction. Once we get inside the store, we roam around and pick up anything we want. Both of us end up at the lipgloss section with the boys hovering over our shoulder. We pick out some that we like, giggling quietly at the guys hovering over our shoulders, before moving away from there. We finish picking out what things we want before going to pay. After paying we walk out and start walking along until we spot the the candy store. Of course we beeline for that store while the guys laugh at us. Instead of picking almost everything we liked, we went around and found anything that had chocolate. Aly also snags some jellybeans and we walk back out to our husbands.
"Now what?" Aly questions.
They just look at each other and then back at us with smirks.
"Uh oh, they've got those smirks again." I mutter to her.
"I'm afraid to ask." She mutters back.
They motion us to follow them and we do, curious as to where they're going. Once we see what has become their favorite store to go to now, we now know the reason behind their smirks.
"Should've known." Aly laughs.
"You wait here, we'll pick out everything." Mike says to us after we walk in.
Aly and I exchange looks and giggle. Then they walk off and we find somewhere to sit and get comfortable as we wait. She rubs her stomach while we're sitting there.
"Wait until you see the dress Alex picked out for me. I know you got probably a glimpse at it in the dress store, but wait until I have it on."
"It looked pretty from what I saw of it."
"Leave it up to him to pick red."
"Of course." She laughs.
"He wanted to help with the zipper in the back of it before I went to get changed back into my clothes too."
"Aha he would." She snickers.
"I told him maybe later when we get back from the event tonight. I have a feeling that I'm in for it since I suggested that."
"Uh yeah."
Then after a while we see Mike and Alex appear and they go over and pay for whatever they had gotten for us, before coming back to us.
"Have fun?" Aly asks amusedly.
"Lots of fun." Mike nods.
We both laugh.
"We can head back home now if you want."
"That's fine."
"No peeking in the bags though. You have to wait."
"Darn."
We get up from where we're sitting, and we leave the store, before leaving the mall and getting back into the car, heading back to the condo. We get inside and go to put our bags away. I hang my dress up in the closet where it won't get ruined, before coming back out and going through the bag from Bath and Body, choosing what goes with me and what can stay. Alex starts to put away the things he picked out for me at Victoria's Secret.
"I'm assuming that most of what you picked out either is red or has red on it."
Alex grins sheepishly.
"You and the red."
"What can I say, you look really good in red."
"You do know that not all of that is gonna be able to fit me once I'm farther along right?"
"I know. But I can enjoy it for now."
"True."
He grins at me.
"Well maybe I'll wear something tonight when we go to bed."
His grin gets wider.
"Just behave when we're out tonight."
"I'll try my best."
"Good." I smile, walking over to him and stealing a kiss.
Alex leans in for another kiss once I pull away. I laugh quietly to myself before kissing him again.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
Alex reaches down and rubs my stomach.
"Baby Love too."
"Gummy Bear loves you as well."
Alex smiles and kisses my head.
"I can't wait until we get to have the first big appointment where we get to see Baby Love."
"I know, me neither."
"We'll have to send the ultrasound pictures to our moms like Windy and Mike do with theirs."
"Of course."
"They'll be all happy."
"Probably even more happy when I told them the news last week."
"Yeah." Alex smiles.
"And we have to figure out when we want to let everyone know like Aly did on Raw."
"Right."
"But I have to tell Zack in person first, I promised."
"Alright."
"And then we'll have to figure out possible names and everything. We have a lot of planning and preparing for Gummy Bear."
"True but we have plenty of time." Alex assures me.
"I know."
"We need to enjoy our time together and enjoy watching Baby Love grow because before you know it, it'll be time to have him or her."
"That'll be a fun day."
"Yeah."
"But anyways, now I think it's a good idea to relax for the rest of the day until we have to get ready for the charity event."
"Sure."
I kick my shoes off before going over to the bed and climbing onto it.
"I need my big pillow." I giggle.
Alex grins and takes his shoes off, getting on the bed with me. I instantly cling to him and snuggle into him. Alex chuckles and kisses my head. He rubs my back gently and I start to drift off to the feeling. Shortly after, he notices my breathing has changed and he looks down to see me fast asleep. He smiles and leans his head against mine. In the bedroom with Mike and Aly, they too are putting her things away. She hangs her dress on the closet door and then finishes putting her Bath and Body stuff away before she turns her attention to Mike. He's busy putting away what he bought her. She goes up behind him and slides her arms around him.
"Having fun putting those away?" She asks.
"Yes I am." He chuckles.
"That's good." She laughs lightly.
"Can't wait to see what you got me." She adds.
"I can't wait to see them on you." Mike grins.
"I bet. Maybe if you're good, I'll wear something to bed." She giggles.
"I'll try my best."
"Good." She raises up and kisses the back of his neck.
He leans into her touch, since he finished putting everything away. She does it again, smiling.
"Love you." She mumbles.
"Love you too." He replies.
Then he turns around in her arms.
"Want to relax for the rest of the afternoon? You look a bit tired."
"Mmm...sounds good." She leans into his chest.
They both kick off their shoes and he picks her up and heads over to the bed where he carefully sets her down before laying next to her. She snuggles up to him, her stomach pressing into his side. He starts to run his fingers through her hair and she sighs in content, dozing off. He notices that she has dozed off and he smile, still running his fingers through her hair. He puts his free hand on her stomach and then he kisses her head. He stays awake using his phone to keep him busy, and he watches her as she sleeps too. In her sleep she unconsciously shifts, putting one leg across his and nuzzling her head into his chest. The time seemed to pass by fairly quickly and before we knew it, it was time to start getting ready. The guys wake us up so we can get ready. I grab everything I need, before grabbing my dress and I head into the bathroom to do everything. Alex gets ready and lounges on the bed while waiting for me. After making sure I was all set, I opened the door of the bathroom and shut the light off as I walked out.
"Wow...you look so amazing love." Alex says, eyes going a little wide when he sees me.
"So do you." I smile.
He walks over and kisses me gently.
"My beautiful wife."
"My handsome husband."
"Life is just amazing right now."
"I know." I smile.
"I couldn't ask for anything more."
"Me neither."
Alex presses his lips to my forehead while holding me close.
"I love you."
"And as I always say, I love you too...so much."
He smiles and sways with me in his arms. In the meantime, Aly's busy getting ready and such in the bathroom as well, while Mike is getting ready in the room. She gets done with all her stuff and steps out of the bathroom.
"You look even more amazing than when you tried the dress on earlier today." He grins.
"Thank you. You look good too." She smiles.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Then she goes over and grabs her shoes, sitting on the bed to put them on. She feels Mike watching her and she smiles to herself.
"Need help?" He asks.
"You just want to come be touchy feely." She teases while buckling one shoe.
"Maybe."
"There's no 'maybe'. You know you do."
"Okay, so I do."
"I still have another shoe over here..." She trails off.
"I got it." He says, dashing over.
She laughs and finishes buckling the one shoe while Mike grabs the remaining shoe. He helps her put it on and buckles it, before letting her foot go.
"All set."
"Thank you." She giggles.
"You are very welcome." He grins.
"Lover Boy." She pats his cheek.
"You know it."
"Of course I do." She says, pointing to her stomach.
"I know." He smiles.
She smiles too and they both stand up. She steps forward and reaches up for a kiss. He kisses back and rests his hands on her sides. She cups his face and then slowly pulls away after a minute or two.
"Love you." She rubs her nose against his.
"Love you too."
She places another soft kiss on his mouth and then slides her arms around his neck, cuddling into him.
"Should we get going now?"
"Probably...or they'll come looking for us." She sighs.
She pulls from his arms and grabs whatever she needs, before leaving the room. They meet up with Alex and I in the living room and then go out to the car and head off to the event. Once we get there, Mike parks and we get out of the car and walk inside. We look around in awe at the decorations. We find our table, and sit down at it.
"The decorations at these things never fail to amaze me." Aly says.
"I know right?"
After a bit everyone is seated and there are some speeches made before they bring out dinner for everyone.
"That looks good."
"Yes it does."
They finally get to our table and set the food down in front of us.
"Oh and it smells good too." Aly remarks.
"Ooooh yeah." I nod.
We all eat and talk, enjoying ourselves and laughing. Aly and I both see the dessert table
and exchange grins. Then we get up from our seats and go over to the table, grabbing a plate. We take whatever looks good and fill our plates before going back to sit down.
"Chocolate covered strawberries...haven't had these in forever." I say, before I pick one up off my plate and biting into it.
"Oh yeah." Aly nods, doing the same.
We both groan.
"Oh my god, it's soooo good." She mumbles.
"Definintely gonna have to have these another time."
She nods vigorously. Once we eat all of those, then we move onto everything else that we had got. Our husbands are watching us with amusement all over their faces. It doesn't take long before both our plates are cleared of all the desserts.
"Good?" Alex asks, laughing.
"Yes. Don't judge us." Aly sticks her tongue out.
"I'm definitely full after that."
Mike looks at her.
"I'm good for once." She laughs.
He nods and chuckles.
"I think some dancing would be nice though."
"Say no more." He adds grinning, and then standing up and holding out a hand for her to take.
She smiles and puts her hand in his, getting up. Then she laces her fingers with his as they walk out onto the dance floor. They start to dance close together.
"You wanna go dance?" Alex asks me.
"Maybe in a little bit."
I scoot my chair closer to his and snuggle into his side.
"I guess you really want me to wear something you bought me today, when we go back because you're behaving."
He smirks down at me.
"I bet you just can't wait for this whole thing to be over." I snicker.
"You know me well." He kisses my cheek.
"That's because I'm your wife and I'm supposed to."
"Right."
"Just like you know me well."
"Of course."
"Well I think we can get up and go dance now. Maybe time will pass by quicker...for you."
He laughs and stands up, offering his hand to me. I stand up and take his hand, thanking him before we head out onto the dance floor ourselves. We're all dancing for a while, having a good time. A song ends and Aly catches Mike's attention and motions towards the doors leading to the gardens. He nods and laces his figners with hers, walking over to the doors and out into the garden with her. They pick a path and wander own it lazily. She lays her head against his shoulder.
"Getting tired?" He asks.
She shakes her head.
"It's really pretty out here." She comments.
"Really pretty." She repeats, stopping to smell a flower.
"The clear sky and the moon make it even better." He grins.
"Mmhmm." She agrees.
"But nothing compares to how you look in the moonlight."
She blushes, hiding a little.
"And that will always be true."
She blushes harder.
"Love you."
"Love you too." She replies quietly.
Then he lets go of her hand in favor of wrapping an arm around her shoulders as they walk along. She slides an arm around his waist and leans into him. They walk along the path until Mike spots a bench up ahead and he motions towards it. She nods and they sit down, cuddling closely. He rests a hand on her stomach and starts to rub it gently, and kisses her head. She leans her head into the kiss while putting one of her hands on top of his. Then he leans his head against hers as they continue to sit there. At one point she moves her head and reaches up to steal a short kiss. After she pulls away she leans her head on his shoulder.
"Love you."
"Love you too, you and Savannah."
"She loves you too daddy."
"You're gonna be a great daddy." She adds.
"And you'll be an amazing mommy." Mike replies, kissing her head.
"It's still hard to believe that this is actually happening."
"I know." Mike agrees.
"I'm happy that it is though. Earlier than expected or not."
"I'm happy that it's happening too."
"Have our own little family." She smiles.
"Mmhmm." He nods with a smile of his own.
"That reminds me, we need to start working on nurseries and plus we need to really go through those listings that the agent sent for Vegas houses."
"Oh yeah, that's right."
"We'll have time over the next few days."
"True."
"I have some nursery pictures to show you. I looked them up that one night when I couldn't get comfortable in bed."
"Oooh."
"I think you'll like them. I was thinking we could maybe do something different at each of our homes, what do you think?"
"Yeah, that does sound like a good idea."
"Good." She smiles and kisses the corner of his mouth.
"I can't wait to see the pictures."
"I'm excited to show you, there's a few that I really like."
"Well I'm sure Savannah would love them."
She smiles and kisses him.
"Ready to head back now?" He asks, after they pull away.
"I guess. I kind of like being out here where its quiet and peaceful though."
"Stay out here until everything's over then?"
"At least a little while longer."
"We can do that." He nods.
"Thank you." She kisses him lightly, lingering a little before she draws away.
Then he pulls her closer against his side and they enjoy the peace and quiet. After a while she hears a familiar accented voice. She immediately groans and hides against Mike.
"Just try and ignore her." He says quietly.
"It's hard." She mumbles into his chest.
"I know, but you have to remember Savannah. It's not good for you or her if you get all worked up."
"I know." She sighs.
"Just try okay?"
She nods lightly. He continues to hold her close and rubs her stomach to keep her calm. She snuggles into him and closes her eyes. The familiar accented voice of Maryse gets closer until she stops and she doesn't hear her for a few moments.
"So that's where you went. I've been looking for you all over." She says to Mike, totally ignoring Aly for now.
"Why would you be looking for me?" Mike asks.
"Because she's a stalker..." Aly mumbles.
"Shh." Mike says to her quietly as Maryse scowls.
"I think you know why I'd be looking for you."
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not interested in you anymore. I'm married and going to be a father. I don't want anything to do with you." Mike says, shaking his head.
"I've moved on, and you should too." He adds.
"I don't want to move on. I want you." Maryse says angrily.
Aly starts to growl faintly.
"Well I don't want you. Like I said, I'm happily married and I'm going to be a father."
"Why can't you see that you're better off with me than her?"
"Why can't you get that you're completely wrong? I'm happier with Lyssa than I ever was with you." Mike retorts.
"Plus you cheated on me when we were together so don't tell me I'm better off with you."
"It was a mistake." She says.
"Sure it was." Mike scoffs.
Aly's growling gets deeper and Mike feels it vibrating through her.
"I think it'd be in your best interest to leave now." Mike says to her, trying to calm Aly down.
"Why should I?" She says snidely.
"Because if you don't leave us the hell alone, I'm going to get up and bodily injure you." Aly growls.
"Lyssa don't." Mike says to her quietly.
"No. I've had enough."
She pulls from his arms and stands up in front of her.
"I really suggest you leave...NOW. I'm not kidding about bodily injuring you."
She clenches her hands into fists and Maryse backs up. She says something in French and starts to leave.
"Yeah, you better be leaving."
She growls and shudders angrily.
"God she pisses me off."
"I know. Come on, sit back down. Please?"
She takes a deep breath and lets it out before returning to sit with him. He wraps an arm around her, and pulls her close to him like she was before. She puts her legs over his lap and snuggles into him, taking comfort from being in his arms. To calm her down more, he talks to her soothingly and quietly. She tilts her head up and kisses him, interrupting his soothing whispers. He holds her closer and tigher, with his other hand resting on her side. She loses herself in the kiss, pressing as close to him as she can get. Before they get too carried away, he pulls away and leans his forehead against hers. She pouts slightly.
"Can't get too carried away out here."
She sighs and untangles herself from him.
"She ruined my peaceful mood out here. I think its time to go back inside now."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Alright." He nods.
He lets her go and she moves her legs off of his lap and stands up. He laces his fingers with hers after he stands up and they head back the way they came and back inside. They find me and Alex sitting at the table, taking a break from the dancing. They walk over and sit back down in their seats next to us. I immediately pick up on her off mood and frown.
"Something wrong?"
Bad run-in with HER."
"So that's where she went. I saw her go outside, and I was gonna stop her but Alex wouldn't let me. I had a feeling she was following you guys, but I was hoping I was wrong."
"She was."
"See? You should've let me stop her." I say to Alex.
"Sorry."
"I was looking out for you and Baby Love. I couldn't take the chance of you possibly getting hurt." He adds.
"He has a point. Mike was trying to look out for us too but I was too pissed off." Aly says with a shrug.
"Nothing happened did it?"
"No. She backed off after I threatened to bodily injure her."
"Wow, she had a smart moment...for once."
"Yeah." Aly snorts amusedly.
"You know, we can head back home if you want. We're pretty much done for the night."
"Let's do that. I don't want anything else happening." Mike says.
We nod and collect our things before getting up and heading out to the car. We get back to the condo and go inside. Aly and I take off our shoes instantly.
"I hope you sleep alright." I say to her.
"Hopefully." She mutters.
"If you need me at all, you know you can always come wake me up." I add, hugging her.
"I know. Thanks." She smiles a little and hugs back.
"You're welcome." I smile back.
I pull away and Alex comes over for a hug as well.
"Try to get some sleep Windy."
"I'll try DC."
Then he pulls away from the hug and stands next to me.
"We'll see you in the morning."
Mike and her nod.
"Night guys."
"Night." We reply.
Then we walk off to our bedrooms, Mike shutting the lights off as he goes along. Alex and I go into our room and start to unwind. I take my jewelry off and put it away before going to wipe off my make-up off while Alex gets ready for bed. I'm still in my dress and I'm standing in the doorway of the bathroom once I finish washing the make-up off.
"There's something you still have to do you know."
Alex raises an eyebrow.
"Do you not remember what I said you could do after we got back home?"
A grin speads across his face and he walks over to me.
"Thought so." I giggle.
I turn around and he reaches out, slowly pulling down the zipper of my dress.
"Thank you, and no you can't help me take the dress off. I still need to go get something to change into for bed." I say, holding the front of the dress with one arm once it was fully unzipped.
I laugh when I hear him curse quietly. I turn around and kiss his cheek before slipping past him and going over to the dresser and opening the drawer where he put away the things he got me today. I search through until I find something to change into. I grab that and head back into the bathroom, leaving the door open just a crack and get changed. I feel his eyes on me as I walk back out and hang up my dress. I close the door of the closet and turn around to see him already in bed, but with that smirk on his face. I pose jokingly.
"You like?"
"Looks even better on you than I imagined." He grins.
"Well that's good." I laugh, walking over to the bed.
I climb onto the bed and go under the blankets. Alex reaches out and pulls me close, nuzzling my neck.
"Cuddly."
Alex places soft kisses on my neck in response. I lean into the kisses, and at the same time I move one of my hands under the blankets and find one of his indents and press my fingers into it. He stiffens, muffling a groan into my neck. I try to hide my laughter and wait a few seconds before doing it again. This earns another groan but then Alex gently bites my neck in response. I quietly yelp since I wasn't expecting it, but move my hand up and drag my nails across his abs slowly. He growls faintly and bites down again. I decide that the faint growling isn't enough, so I choose to do both...use one hand to press my fingers into an indent and use the other hand to drag my nails across his abs slowly at the same time. I get a loud growl and he moves, putting his mouth on the sensitive spot on my neck and sucks on it. This earns a loud moan from me, and I reach up and grip the pillow and with my other hand I grip his arm that was now draped over me. He smirks a little and keeps doing it. He keeps going until he sees a pretty decent sized mark forming. Then he trails his lips up to my earlobe, nibbling gently on it. He pulls away from my ear for a moment and observes the now fully formed mark. He goes to move to my lips, but I beat him to it and turn my head, pressing my lips to his eagerly. He chuckles and kisses me back. Then I shift my entire body so I'm laying on my side and I press myself closer into him. His hands start to wander and I feel him hook a finger under the strap on my shoulder. He starts to move it but I grab his hand and pull away from his lips, leaning my forehead against his.
"No, not tonight."
Alex makes a noise of disappointment.
"Sorry."
He sighs and steals one last kiss.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
I then shift and get comfortable in my spot, and snuggle into him. He puts his arms around me, one hand resting on my stomach. He reaches over and turns the light off, before kissing me again. We both say goodnight to each other before drifting off. Mike and Aly are in their room getting ready for bed. She's in the bathroom taking off her makeup and letting her hair down from the style she had it in. She comes out of the bathroom and goes through her things for something to wear instead of picking something that Mike bought her today. She changes out of her dress and into her pajamas, before hanging her dress back up in the closet. It's clear from her posture and what she's wearing to bed that she's not in a good mood. She shuts the closet and walks over to the bed. She climbs into the bed and climbs in and under the blankets, trying to get comfortable as Mike changes and climbs into bed himself. He pulls her over to him and she lays on him slightly, getting situated.
"Are you gonna be okay?" He asks.
"Yeah."
"As long as you're sure."
She nods and pesses a kiss to his chest, above his heart.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
He kisses her forehead, before reaching over and turning off the light and then he gest comfortable himself.
"Night."
"Night." She murmurs.
