"Fitz, Jerry, can you make sure the boys are ready while Karen and I get the girls ready?"
"Sure thing babe."
"Yes mom"
Now that Christmas was out of the way, the Grant family was preparing to have their pictures taken. All of the children's presents had been taken upstairs, which meant the Christmas tree was free of clutter, and the perfect set up for their pictures.
While they had been in last years photos, the youngest Grant twins were still very young bring only four months old, and their personalities had yet to emerge. Theodore Nathaniel Grant, or Teddy as his siblings had dubbed him, and Tyler Elijah Grant were definitely a welcomed surprise to the Grant family, and this year, they would be a lively addition to the family portraits.
Two years ago, Liv was positive that she and Fitz wouldn't have more children. That is until she became very ill that Christmas morning, and Fitz was certain that she was with child. That night, Fitz and Jerry had rushed out to WalMart and purchased a slew of pregnancy tests as they had thankfully opened for business that evening. After five positive tests, and a trip to the doctors the following day, it was confirmed that Liv was not only pregnant, but she was once again carrying twins.
When the doctor performed the initial ultrasound to measure just how far along Liv was, the look on Fitz's face when he once again saw two tiny embryos was priceless. After passing out from the initial shock, Fitz was grinning from ear to ear the entire day. Nothing, not even being introduced to Karen's first boyfriend could wipe the smile off of his face.
Once again, Fitz was the loving, attentive husband and father, making sure his wife's needs, as well as the needs of their children were met. Although Karen and Jerry were able to help a lot, there were certain needs his wife needed, that only he could tend to.
Liv was unforgiving in her sexual demands during this pregnancy, even more so than she had been with Talia and Tamra. Fitz would often find himself being summoned in the middle of a work day, to satisfy his wife's cravings for him. By the time the twins were born, Fitz had actually found himself welcoming the eight week break from sex as the family welcomed the youngest two Grants into the family.
So much had changed for the Grant family since then. Karen was now a sophomore in highschool, and Jerry was now in his first year of GWU. Talia and Tamra had just celebrated their seventh birthday, and Tyler and Teddy were now sixteen months old, and just like their sisters, seemed to have gone from crawling to running, before they had even bothered to learn to walk.
Liv had honestly never been happier in her entire life. With the birth of the boys, she had also apologized to Fitz for being so hard on him when the girls were babies and he would often get the them mixed up. She realized that it wasn't always so easy to tell identical twins apart, even when they are your own. She learned that lesson the hard way, when she had given the boys their bath one evening, and couldn't tell them apart.
There she stood in her bedroom for almost twenty minutes, looking down at her sons trying to tell the difference between the two. Their identical dark brown curls and grey eyes did nothing to help her tell the difference between them. She was seriously on the verge of a breakdown, until Fitz entered the room and saved the day.
When Fitz walked into the room, Liv was almost in tears as she couldn't tell one baby from the other. Sensing his wife's dilemma, Fitz simply jumped in and scooped Tyler up in his arms, calling his son by name. The fact that he never called Liv on her inability to tell the twins apart made her feel even worse with how she had scolded him so many years before. That evening, she apologized to him over and over again, until their bodies lay spent in the middle of their bed.
Now that they were older, Liv had no problem telling the boys apart as their personalities were polar opposites. Much like Talia, Teddy was the quiet twin, only demanding attention when he absolutely needed something. Tyler on the other hand, took after Tamra. He was the vibrant one of the twins, always making his presence known.
"Liv, what time will our parents be here with the aunts?" Fitz asked as he walked over to Liv and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"They'll be here in about an hour." Liv responded softly, as she reflected on that change as well.
The relocation of the Pope-Grant family from Santa Barbara to DC was another change that had happened over the past two years. Once Liv's pregnancy was confirmed, their parents didn't want to spend time away from their grandchildren. With Aunts Mable and Marjory pushing 95 at the time, Liv and Fitz felt the same way. The Grants sold their Santa Barbara estate, leaving the Pope's estate for family vacations on the west coast. They all settled in DC, and Liv was thrilled, yet worried that their parents had both purchased homes, on their street.
While she loved how close they were, the kids could literally walk not even 500 yards down the street and be at a grandparent's home - it was also a headache as they were only 500 yards away, which meant they stopped over, every chance they got. The most recent time had to have been the most embarrassing time of them all.
During Thanksgiving break, Big Gerry and Eli had decided to take all six kids out for ice cream and a shopping trip at the mall. It was the first moment Liv and Fitz would have alone all weekend, and the moment they left, Fitz decided to make good on their time alone.
Before Liv realized what was happening, Fitz had stripped Liv of her clothing, and had her legs around his waist as he forcefully drove into her against the front door. Because they were alone, he had urged Liv to scream, which she was doing rather well, until a knock on the other side of the door, halted her cries. Liv became nervous as she could hear Susan calling for her on the other side of the door, but Fitz refused to halt his thrusts, until they both found their release. When they had finally redressed and opened the door, the knowing look on their mothers faces made Liv blush. She couldn't find it in herself to care that much, as she realized that at least her husband had been taken care of.
It was the first and only time Liv had ever faked an orgasm with Fitz, as her mother in law's voice blasting in her head had killed her mood tenfold. Fitz found out later that night that she had faked it, and he made her pay dearly over every surface of their bedroom. The entire day was definitely a reminder that even in their own home, they had to be careful about what they did and they did it because there was no telling when a parent would show up.
Liv was pulled out of her thoughts by the feeling of Fitz's lips against her neck. "You zoned out on me." He said, as his hand moved her hair to the side, exposing more of her neck to him.
"Hmmm... I was just thinking about how much things have changed for us. I never thought we'd be the parents of six kids or that we'd be so happy right now."
"True. We are very blessed."
"Very."
Liv and Fitz stood in front of the Christmas tree, just reflecting on their lives, until six very loud children entered into the family room, ending the moment. Liv broke free of Fitz's grasp, and turned to see all six children wearing their black sweaters and khaki pants. They all had slippers on their feet, as shoes weren't needed for this photo shoot.
Liv looked at the girls, and thanked Karen as she realized she had done their hair, both girls wearing a French braid that hung to their lower back. Karen's hair was in a French braid as well, making all three girls look eerily alike, the only difference was that Karen was slightly lighter than the girls, but there was no doubt that they were sisters.
"Ok, we're here!" Eli yelled out as he entered the home, aiding aunt Mable, while Big Gerry was aiding aunt Marjory. It pained Liv to see how much they had slowed down over the past two years as their age was finally catching up to them, but she was thankful they were still around.
Liv looked at their parents and aunts who were also wearing the black sweaters and khaki pants for their portraits. The past few years, it had been just Liv, Fitz, and the kids in the pictures, but this year, Liv had an nagging desire to have their parents and aunts in the picture as well.
After all of the hellos were out of the way, the family sat in the living room, awaiting the arrival of the photographer.

The pictures had gone very well, and Liv and Fitz were now gathered around with their parents, picking out which pictures they wanted to order.
"I definitely want these." Liv said pointing to a picture of Big Gerry and Eli sitting on the floor in front of a grey backdrop. All six grandkids were gathered around them. Jerry was kneeling behind their grandfathers with his elbows resting on their shoulders. Karen was standing behind Jerry with her arms wrapped around his neck. Talia's lips were pressed against Big Gerry's cheek, while Tamra's were pressed against Eli's. Tyler was sitting on Eli's lap, while Teddy was sitting on Big Gerry's.
The next picture she pointed to was of their mothers with all six children. Tyler, Talia, and Karen were kissing Maya's cheeks, while Teddy, Tamra, and Gerry kissed Susan's.
The next picture was similar to the ones of their mothers, but it was with the children and their aunts.
The final picture of that group was of all four grandparents laying on their stomachs on the floor with their elbows bent so their heads were propped up with their hands. Tyler was laying on his stomach on Susan's back, while Teddy was on Maya's. Talia was laying the same way on Eli's back, while Tamra was on Big Gerry's. All four kids were laying identical to their grandparents, with their elbows resting on their grandparent's shoulders, their hands holding up their heads. Karen and Jerry were on either side with their backs resting against their grandfathers, with one leg extended, and the other leg straight.
There were pictures of Big Gerry and Eli with their granddaughters, and pictures of Maya and Susan with their grandsons, and finally pictures of the grandparents and aunts. Tyler and Teddy sat on their aunts laps in the center of the picture, while the older four each stood behind a grandparent.
The last few of the group Liv couldn't help but to choose. There was a picture of her surrounded by all of the men in her life. Fitz was sitting on a chair, with Liv on his lap. Their fathers were standing behind them, and their sons were sitting on the floor around them. All of the men were looking at Liv lovingly, but Liv was looking straight ahead at the camera. Once that picture was taken, their mothers and aunts swapped places with their fathers, and the girls switched out with the boys. This time all of the women were looking at Fitz lovingly, but he was the one staring straight into the camera.
When it came to the pictures of Liv and Fitz with the kids, Liv ended up purchasing all of them as she couldn't decide. There were pictures of just her with the boys, and then with the girls, and Fitz had done the same. The photographer allowed for the photos of just the kids to be a little more relaxed, and just caught shots of the kids just being themselves.
The one picture that caught Fitz's eye was a picture of Liv sitting on his lap. Talia and Tamra were standing directly behind them, with Karen and Jerry on either side, each holding one of the younger twins.
Liv's favorite had to have been one with Fitz laying on his stomach, with her laying flush across his back. Talia was on her back, while Tamra was on top of the pile. Karen and Gerry were on either side as they had been with their grandparents, each holding one of the younger twins.
After ordering these pictures and so many more, they placed an additional order for each person's silhouette to be done. Liv wanted to hang them along the stairs. She had always loved the idea of individual silhouettes since seeing it done in Peeples.
Once they had paid the photographer, they saw them out, before going off to rejoin their family in the family room.
When they entered the family room, Karen and Jerry were making their way upstairs with a very cranky Tyler and Teddy, to lay them down for their naps. Talia and Tamra made their way up to their rooms, to enjoy the presents they had gotten just a few days before. Fitz walked them over to the over-sized chair that used to occupy her father's study, and pulled Liv into his lap.
"I can't believe how big the kids have gotten." Gerry said as he stood to pour a glass of scotch for him and Eli.
"Yes, before you know it, this house will be empty." Maya added, causing Liv to pout. The boys weren't even two yet, she didn't want to think of them grown up and going off to college. Sensing her sudden change in mood, Fitz kissed the top of Liv's head, and quickly changed the subject.
Since their aunts weren't able to fly anymore, the family had decided to forego their annual trip to Davanti Grado Island. Their parents offered to watch the kids if Liv and Fitz wanted to go, but they declined as they both felt the need to stay close to their family during this time. They spent the next few hours just talking and enjoying one another's company, before Liv and their mothers excused themselves to begin preparing dinner.
When Liv entered the kitchen, she quickly placed her iPhone on the dock, and turned on her playlist. She walked towards the fridge, and pulled out the ingredients they would need to make cheeseburger quiche for the kids, and shrimp mezzeluna for the adults.
She placed the hamburger meat into the frying pan which Maya quickly took over, seeing to it that it browned evenly, as Liv went and began tending to the rest of the ingredients. As she was beating the eggs, she felt Fitz's arms slide around her waist, and his face hurried into her neck as she realized what song was playing.
Maya and Susan watched on as Fitz removed the bowl out of Liv's hand, before pulling her into the middle of the kitchen, and swaying them to the music.
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more
And I swear to you, there's no one more important
And I trust you with my life
So I pledge my heart to you
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not love you more
'Cause with you my world
Is filled with so much pleasure
When I'm blind, you are my eyes
So I pledge my trust to you
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart and my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, said, I could not love you more
And I swear to you, that I will always love you
And I trust you with my heart
So I pledge my world, I pledge my world
I pledge my world to you
My love, sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart and my heart, my heart is yours
My love, sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart, I could not, I could not love you more
By the time the song had ended, Fitz pulled Liv flush against his body, and gently claimed her mouth with his. Everyone was standing in the kitchen, witnessing this special moment between the two of them. Over the past nine years, it was clear that Liv and Fitz had grown more and more in love every day, and the expansion of their family was a living, breathing testimony to their love.
"Thank you for the dance, Mr. Grant." Liv said as she seductively bit her bottom lip.
"Anytime." Fitz replied, still holding his wife in his arms.
"How about later tonight?"
"It's a date."
Fitz saw his mother approaching them out of the corner of his eye, and knew she was coming to shoo him away. He quickly placed one more kiss on Liv's lips, before stepping back and making his way back into the family room with their fathers and aunts close behind.
After the family sat and had dinner together and everything was cleaned up, Maya and Eli took the boys back to their home, while Susan and Gerry took the girls, leaving Liv and Fitz finally alone for the evening.
Liv went upstairs to change into more comfortable clothing , while Fitz made sure the house was secure. Once everything was locked up tightly, Fitz grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses, and made his way upstairs. When he entered their bedroom, Fitz felt his mouth go dry at the sight before him.
"Come here to me, Fitz" Liv moaned as she was sprawled out across their bed with her knees bent. Fitz licked his lips as one hand was palming her breast while the other hand was sliding between her folds.
Fitz walked over to the bed and sat between Liv's thighs. His eyes were fixated on her fingers that were spreading her essence, and he wanted nothing more than to replace his wife's hand with his mouth.
Liv watched Fitz was he struggled to refrain from taking over for her hand, but many years of instruction had left him afraid to move out of fear she'd stop. She had trained him well.
"Since you're being such a good boy, I have a little treat for you."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Look on your nightstand." Fitz moaned over and did as he was told, and his eyes immediately flickered back to his wife who was now holding a pink and white vibrator in her hand.
"Turn it on." She pleaded as she allowed the toy to glide where her hand had been.
"H-How?"
Liv handed Fitz his cell phone, and she could see his excitement growing as he unlocked his iPhone and saw the vibrators app on his home screen. "This app works anywhere, anytime. So now, when you are out of town and want to engage in phone sex, you can control everything I feel, from anywhere in the world. It has a voice control option as well."
"So, whatever i press here, controls what the vibrator does?"
"Yes."
Fitz pressed the on button, and his head shot up as he heard the vibrator turn on. "Slide it in." He demanded, and bit his lower lip as he watched the pink and white toy disappear over and over again inside of his wife's drenched heat.
Fitz could feel himself growing painfully hard as he continued playing with the controls until Liv's hips were now thrusting off of the bed. He had never seen anything so sexy in his entire life, and he couldn't wait any longer, he needed to taste her.
Fitz dove between Liv's thighs and slowly removed the vibrator from her hand, tossing it somewhere across the room. He moaned as Liv spread her legs, eagerly awaiting his touch. Fitz slowly lowered his head and began lapping up the moisture that was flowing down her thigh.
He worked his way up til he found the bundle of nerves . "You are so fucking wet." He praised before drawing h her sensitive nub into his mouth. Liv let out a guttural moan as she tangled her hands into his hair. She wasn't sure how each time was better than the last, but the way his tongue was strumming against her clit had her screaming out for mercy.
"Fitz" She cried out with her hands tangled in his hair as it was all too much, yet not enough. Fitz never failed to have her ready to climb the walls, and this time was no different.
Liv wasn't able to brace herself for the mind blowing, toe curling orgasm that quickly slammed through her body. Sensing she was on the brink, Fitz inserted two fingers then three and began slowly working them in and out of her core as he continued taunting her clit with his tongue.
"Fitz, I'm co.. I'm co.. I'm... Shit!" Liv screamed as the orgasm came crashing over her body.
Fitz quickly stood and stepped off his clothes before returning to the bed and positioning himself between Liv's thighs. Liv looked hungrily into her husband's eyes, and he knew they'd be at it all night. "Fitz, fuck me now."
Fitz moved when Liv spoke what she wanted in the bedroom. She never hesitated to tell him when she wanted him harder, faster, or deeper, but when she demanded he fuck her he almost came on the spot, every time.
Fitz stood up from the bed and pulled Liv up with him. He began kissing her with a force that knocked her back a few steps forcing her against the wall. He lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and prepared her body to take in his entire length.
Fitz grabbed Liv by her waist and forcefully thrust into her, filling her fully. Liv moaned in delight at the feeling of her husband stretching her walls. His erection always seemed to be thicker than it was the last time they were together and she loved how well he filed her. Without warning, Fitz slammed her against the wall as he began thrusting with such force a few of their pictures began falling off of the wall behind them.
Liv wrapped her arms around Fitz's neck, and continued to take his impressive length in hard and deep, thrust after thrust. Fitz could feel her walls beginning to close in around him pushing him close to the edge with with every thrust.
Liv dug her nails into Fitz's shoulder as he took her to heights they have never experienced before. Liv screams were urging Fitz to continue thrusting hard and deep, but also made him thankful that the kids were spending the evening down the street. After a few more minutes, Fitz came, hard. The feeling of his seed shooting into her womb caught Liv off guard, and before she knew it, another orgasm had taken over.
Using the last bit of strength he had left, he carried them back over to the bed where they collapsed, limbs intertwined, in each others arms until they both drifted off to sleep.
Neither knew that they would be woken up in a few hours by an upset Jerry banging on their bedroom door, and their lives were about to change, once again.
Hey everyone . So this is a truly bittersweet moment for me as there is only one chapter left. This story was my baby for a better part of this year, and I feel it's only right to end it on New Years Eve, where the story began. The next update will be a final time jump of a year, and although I have already started it, I will not be posting it until Wednesday. Thank you all so much for your continued support in this story, even back when some of you were ready to strangle Liv. This has definitely been a ride that I will never forget.
