To See You Again Chapter 15
"The other day you asked me to tell you how much I love you. Oh but words so often fail,
to describe the depth and scale, and even though it may sound cliche, I'll tell you in my own my simple way. Forever and a day, like always."
It wasn't long after, two moths to be exact after they got married that Aaron and Emily found out that they were expecting another child.
After they had gotten back from their honeymoon in France, which they truly enjoyed and needed, things got a bit hectic than usual. After Declan spoke and Asked Aaron to have his last name changed to Horchner, Aaron petitioned for Declan and Michael Aaron's last name to be changed which was approved not long after they filed.
Emily wasn't sure if she was going to get pregnant right away since after their honeymoon Aaron and his team were called in three cases in a row. She was busy translating more and more in Arabic as tensions in the Middle East escalates. .
Her parents had returned to Europe a couple of weeks ago. They stayed with Emily even though they still have their house in Virginia. They looked after Michael Aaron when Aaron was away on cases and while Emily went to work. Jessica picked up Jack and dropped him at Emily and Aaron's house. Emily's dad picked up Declan after his soccer and lacrosse practices. Her parents are truly enjoying being grandparents to their kids. Before they left for Europe, they had discussed with Emily about permanently moving back to the States to be with them more. Her mother said that when they are away, she misses the kids a lot. They want to look after their grandkids while they still can and maybe take a couple of trips twice a year. They enjoy watching Declan play soccer and lacrosse when he has games. Declan is not only making a name for himself in soccer but also in lacrosse. The boy is obviously a natural in sports. Morgan jokes that Declan takes after his Uncle Derek. But JJ counters that by reminding him and the rest of the team that she was the '"soccer star" and that she has a scholarship to prove it.
When they are not away on a case, Derek often takes Declan with him to the gym to work out. The boy is now Derek's height, almost 6 feet tall and turned 16 a month ago. He got his driver's permit and next week, he will be taking his driving test. Declan didn't want a party for his 16th birthday, instead he asked his parents if he could have a car and that a used one will do. Aaron and Emily talked it over and agreed to buy Declan a car. He truly deserves it since he has been able to keep his 4.0 GPA while playing sports. When Emily mentioned this to her parents, Elizabeth and Robert proposed that they pay half of the cost of the car and suggested they buy Declan a brand new Ford Focus Hybrid. They agreed and o his birthday, presented the car to Declan. Declan thanked his grandparents and his parents for his car. Since then, he has been practicing on it with either Emily or Aaron or grandpa Robert.
Emily has always been irregular so when she was late for a couple of months she thought nothing of it. But she noticed the increase in her appetite so she decided to stop by a drug store on her way home. When Emily got home after picking up Jack and Michael Aaron at Jessica's house, Declan was already in the house waiting for them. Declan had already started making spaghetti and meat balls for dinner.
"Hi Dec, oh, that smells really good."
"Hi mom, did you get garlic bread?"
"I did. Thanks for making dinner, sweetheart."
"Dec. You cooked my favorite." Jack shouted, running to his big brother to give him a hug.
"Woah, Jack be careful little brother. Why don't you go put your stuff away first and change. Dad will be home soon and then we can have dinner."
"Okay."
Emily was carrying Michael Aaron on her hip but was anxiously reaching out for Declan to take him.
"Dec, how about you take this little one and I will take over cooking?"
"Okay mom. Did you miss me bay brother? You did, didn't you?"
Michael Aaron shrieked and giggled loudly as Declan tossed him in the air.
The phone rang and Jack answered it.
"Hi dad. Yes, we are all home. You coming home soon?"
"Okay, I will tell mom. Bye, dad."
"Mom dad said he is on his way home."
When Aaron got home, Emily was setting the table while Declan and Jack were playing with Michael Aaron.
When they heard the garage door, the three boys got up and made their way to the dining table.
Aaron put his briefcase down and followed the noise to the dining room where he found Emily and his boys waiting for him. Michael Aaron was banging his spoon on table and raised both his arms as soon as he saw his daddy.
Aaron laughed and walked over to Michael Aaron to give him a hug,
"Daddy, hungry!"
"Daddy is home now, we can all eat."
Aaron walked over to Emily and gave her a light kiss on the lips.
Aaron and Emily asked the boys about their day. They ate and listened as their two boys talked about their day at school.
After dinner, Aaron cleaned up and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Emily took Michael Aaron and gave him a bath before putting him to bed.
Declan was on the phone with his Uncle Spencer about his AP Chemistry and Calculus.
Aaron then sat with Jack and went over his homework with him.
Around 9 o'clock, Declan and jack were done with their homework and headed for bed.
Aaron and Emily said their good nights to Declan and Jack. Michael Aaron was already fast asleep in their bedroom.
After closing the door, Emily showed Aaron the pregnancy test.
"Really?"
"I think so. I'm irregular but I have not had my period for two months and I noticed the increased in my appetite. I don't have the usual pregnancy symptoms. But you know, it doesn't hurt to try."
"Oh, sweetheart. Come on, let's find out."
Aaron and Emily waited.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Time's up. Let's have a look."
"What's the color?"
"It's blue, babe. Blue says pregnant. Oh my God, we're pregnant."
"Let's try again just to be sure."
"Aaron and Emily tried a different pregnancy test.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1. It's pink. Pink says pregnant."
"Oh my God baby, we are pregnant. Let's make an appointment tomorrow just to make sure that these are not false alarms. I am so happy, Aaron. Are you?"
"Em, I am always happy when I'm with you and our boys. And to add another one to our brood, it makes me extra happy and it is extra special. I love you so much."
"I love you so much, Aaron. You have made all my dreams come true. How about we celebrate?"
"I think that is a great idea, sweetheart."
Their lips never parted as they made their way to their bed, shedding each piece of clothing. And skin hot and burning with desire.
