Chapter23 One Now & Again

Abbie woke peaked at the alarm and realized that she had again waken up before Erin the two had been switching places on and off since they had gotten married while Abbie didn't mind having the two places she really wanted to start looking into them moving into her place on Staten Island.

Abbie loved Erin's apartment but there was just something about being in the house that made their marriage feel more real.

The couple had discussions about moving several times but they couldn't find common ground on the issue which was the only speedbump in their marriage so far little did Erin know Abbie had been talking with Nicky over the past few days about making a big move but didn't really have a plan for moving aside from moving into her place.

Nicky wasn't surprised that Erin had been flying off the handle about the living situation she had told Abbie that she had known that Erin would try and start something big out of nothing but told her if she wanted to squash the whole thing once and for all she should just let them find a place of their own.

After making it clear that they didn't have the cash to do that Nicky said that she would use half of her PuertoRico appearance money to help buy them a house an idea which took some convincing but eventually Abbie agreed to it under the condition that they wait until Nicky was back from her trip to access the money a condition that Nicky agreed to.

Abbie rolled out of bed and started Sunday breakfast unbeknownst to Erin Abbie had a plan to make this particular Sunday special the couple hadn't been intimate yet at Abbie's request because she knew Erin wasn't ready and didn't want to cheapen her experience.

After some reflection Erin agreed with Abbie and the two had tabled the matter but over the past couple weeks Erin had been slowly increasing her level of intimacy with Abbie learning things about the both of them and Abbie wanted to be ready in case Erin gave her the go ahead for their special time.

Since being married Abbie had always made it a point to take at least one day out of the week and make Erin breakfast in bed just because a gesture Erin appreciated very much.

Abbie had whipped up a breakfast with the works pancakes eggs bacon sausage and jammed toast.

After making sure the food was perfect Abbie made Erin a cup of coffee and set it on a platter.

Abbie walked into the room finding Erin up in bed engaged in her usual Sunday news cast.

"Breakfast is served angel."

Abbie set the platter down and took a seat next to Erin.

"A feast for my beloved enjoy."

Babe you know you don't have to keep this up you're spoiling me rotten." Erin stated biting into a fluffy pancake.

"I know but I want to love you deserve it." Abbie answered back giving Erin a kiss on the cheek.

"If I keep eating anymore of this I'll lose my figure and you'll leave me." Erin joked as she continued to eat.

"You're the only one for me Erin Angeline Reagan".

Erin blushed upon Abbie using her middle name.

"You know you keep this up and we won't leave the house today" Erin said flirtatiously.

"Hush you eat I don't want your father mad at me for making you late for mass."

Erin ate while Abbie got ready for the day the two had talked about Abbie becoming catholic but were taking it one step at a time the two were happy with the way things were for now.

Once Abbie was dressed and out of the shower Erin quickly showered and threw on her Sunday pants suit.

"So Abbie what are you doing while I'm at mass?"

"I'm heading over to Maria's then to the gym I'll be back for lunch than we have the whole day to ourselves before dinner."

"Sounds like a plan to me let's get going."

Abbie grabbed her purse and keys locked up and headed out with Erin.

"So Abbie you've been with Maria a lot lately anything you want to tell me?"

"Erin she's just a friend and straight mind you."

"I know babe I was just teasing I know you love me."

"Good besides I would never cheat I'm yours for life."

"I know I just felt like being a ball buster."

"Well stop it I deal with too many of those on the job."

"Maybe I like being a ballbuster because than my sexy wife can teach me not to be a such a bad girl."

"Erin this isn't you what's with throwing yourself at me?"

"Abbie we've been married almost two months and you haven't even attempted to touch me since we had the discussion about waiting".

"With good reason Erin I don't want to pressure you just because we're married."

"Well it's not pressuring if I want it to happen and before you ask I am ready I want to truly be yours in the only way I'm not already I've done the soul searching and reflection I want to give myself to you."

"Erin, you may be ready but there is still a small part of me that thinks we need to wait a bit longer please understand."

"Abigail what the hell I'm practically begging you to let the dominant side of yourself out and fuck me and you're refusing!"

"Yes, Erin I am and if you have a problem with that I'm sorry."

"You know what forget it I don't care anymore if you don't want to make love to your wife fine but don't expect me to sleep with you again."

The rest of the ride was conducted in an eerie silence and Abbie knew the fight was stupid but she really did want Erin's first time to be memorable.

Once Abbie dropped Erin off she headed straight for Maria's in an effort to get back into Erin's good graces.

Meanwhile in front of the church Erin noticed Danny standing in front enjoying the air.

"Hey Erin you looked stressed what's up?"

"Nothing Danny I'm fine just drop it."

"Erin I know you well enough to know when something's up so just tell me."

"Fine if you must know I got into it with Abbie on the way here and no I'm not revealing what the fight was about."

"Erin whatever went down between you and your wife is on you and you don't have to tell me but whatever it was squash it because it's not worth it you two just got married I'm sure an apology will fix a small misunderstanding."

"Oh save it Danny you're the last person that should talk you're famous for being a hot head."

"That's exactly why you should take my advice I know the trouble being a hot head causes besides I kind of need your wife to be at lunch today I want to formally apologize and welcome her to the family."

"I'll see now let's get inside."

With that Erin and Danny made their way inside and joined the rest of the Reagans in their usual pew.

Meanwhile on the other side of town Abbie sat with Maria in her living-room doing yoga.

"Abbie you look tense what's up?" Maria asked coming up from downward dog.

"Nothing just a fight with Erin over something stupid."

"Ah care to share?"

"Fine but tell Danny and I kill you."

"Fine I won't."

"Erin and I haven't consummated our marriage yet mostly because of me wanting to make everything perfect for her first time and wanting to make sure she was ready and we ended up fighting over it."

Maria took a breath in centering herself before answering.

"Wow so you guys are fighting over sex that's a new one."

"I know it's stupid but I want to make it perfect."

"Abbie Erin loves you and you love her all the extras won't matter."

"Part of me knows that but part of me thinks after it happens what if she decides it was a mistake?"

"Abbie cut it out she'll be with you that's all she'll be concerned about plus she married you she wouldn't have done that if it was a mistake."

"You're right I'm being irrational but if I did want to make it memorable what should I do?"

"I say set your place up with flowers wine the works and give her the keys to the kingdom let her tell you what she wants."

"Speaking of she wants she does like my more dominant side which it be too much to go a bit less fem more aggressive side?"

"Again let her lead and you'll be fine she may surprise you now let's finish I want to get a good swim in at the gym."

"I hear that"

Two hours later Erin walked out of mass with Danny Linda Jack Sean Frank and Henry having felt less angry the sermon was about listening and spoke to Erin.

So Erin meet us back at Dads with Abbie in thirty we'll have a quick lunch and then watch the Yankee game before dinner".

"Fine Danny I'll see you in a bit."

Erin left the church hoping she would find Abbie at home she was anxious to squash this small problem.

Back over at Abbie's Abbie and Maria had put the last few touches on the house for Erin and Abbie's magical night cap.

"Thanks for helping me pull this together Maria."

"No problem I'm a sucker for this type of thing".

"Don't take this the wrong way Maria this kind of has me feeling like a teenager getting ready to lose my virginity all over again."

"I can see why but don't worry you'll both be fine."

Just as Maria was prepping the roses Erin used her key to come in.

"What's going on here Abbie?"

"Nothing Erin Maria's just helping me with some reno for the house is all."

"Alright but could I talk to you in private for a sec?"

"Sure Erin."

Abbie followed Erin into the bedroom and shut the door.

"Abbie baby I want to apologize for being an ass in the car it was stupid of me."

"Erin, don't I get it things got heated I love you I promise when the time comes we'll be together like we want to."

Abbie gave Erin a deep loving kiss as they walked out of the room.

"I meant to tell you babe we're having lunch at my Dads apparently, it was Danny's idea so let's go you can table this project for now."

With one glance Maria knew that Abbie wanted her to finish off the planning and the couple headed off to Bay-Ridge.

"So babe any idea why your brother wants us together before dinner?"

"None at all I'm just as clueless as you."

Ah hopefully he has a good reason for this but one smart remark and I put his lights out family be dammed."

"Easy babe your aggressive is showing." Erin joked.

"I am not aggressive Erin."

"Yes you are babe embrace it besides its not a bad thing especially if what I found in your draw is any indication you secretly embrace it."

"I don't know what you mean Erin."

"Don't make me say it Abbie just know I've been doing some research and I wouldn't mind it."

"Alright Erin thanks for the info now eighty-six the bedroom banter and let's get inside."

Abbie parked the car and walked in to see Jack and Sean already setting the table".

"Hey boys where's everybody?" Erin asked.

"Kitchen dad is pulling the wings from the stove."

A few moments later Linda emerged from the yard.

"Abbie Erin, you made it."

We did Linda now if we only knew what Danny invited us here for."

"Just sit he'll explain everything in a sec and just so you know we're having red potatoes and steak and rice for dinner".

"Thanks Linda."

A few moments later the trio of Reagan men emerged from the kitchen and set the wings down.

Once everyone took their seats Danny decided it was time for his speech.

"I know some of you are wondering why I called this impromptu lunch well it was both an apology gesture and a welcome gesture I've acted like an ass lately towards this family and for that I apologize and I'd also like to give a special apology to my sister in-law Abigail you didn't deserve all the crap I gave you for that I'm sorry welcome to the family Abbie."

Danny went over to his sister in law and the two shared a heartfelt hug after which the family feasted on wings and beers watching the Yankee game.

At the end of the game Abbie saw a text from Maria informing her everything was set for Erin's surprise.

The family decided that they would make dinner which was made right after the game luckily dinner was done in a snap and the family settled into their usual dinner prayer and conversation.

"So anyone hear from Jamie the kids gone off the grid lately?" Danny asked.

"Actually that's a good question Jamie normally checks in with one of us this isn't like him." Erin added worried for her brother.

"Don't worry about you two Jamie took vacation last week he'll be back in a couple days." Frank added.

"I wonder where Jamie ran off to without saying a word?" Danny added in again.

"Leave him alone Danny knowing Jamie he probably went to the shore to relax." Linda stated.

"That's bull Linda the kids changed I mean rumor floating around is that Jamie found himself a rich girl and she's got him living the life I mean when we met Nicky's girlfriend not only did she pull up in quite a ride I saw a very expensive ride parked in the driveway that wasn't Marina's."

"Alright Danny put a sock in it your brother can make his own choices, if he's met someone he'll tell us when he's ready; as for the car drop it Jamie probably borrowed it from Marina from what I know Marina makes outside money that allows her to have multiple cars he probably borrowed it after all your brother is a fan of cars." Frank added.

Just as Danny was about to go at Frank conversation stopped when Jack's phone buzzed.

"Jack, you know our rules no phones at the table."

"Sorry mom I'll deal with it".

Jack looked at his phone and gasped a site that didn't go un noticed by Linda.

"Jack what did you just get?"

"Nothing mom."

"Jack give it now."

Jack gave up the phone and Linda was shocked.

Linda what's up?"

"Danny Jack just got a picture of a bikini clad girl on a beach."

"Jack what is this now?"

"Relax dad read the bottom its harmless".

"Yeah harmless my foot apparently one of your friends thought it was cool to send beach shots of an NYPD cop delete this now and don't let this happen again or I take your phone and then you spend the night in lock up."

Jack deleted the message and dinner continued without incident after which everyone packed the leftovers and made their way home.

Abbie drove to her place with Erin still clueless about what awaited Erin caught a quick cat nap as Abbie drove home parking the car and carrying Erin inside.

Erin awoke just in time to notice the rose petals leading to the shower.

Abbie what do you have planned?"

"Meet me in the bedroom in 45 and find out." Abbie replied.

Erin took a quick shower and waited on the bed while Abbie took her shower Erin noticed the candles were self-contained and couldn't see Abbie but so much.

"Abbie what is this?"

Well Erin you said you were ready for us to be together so I set this up all for you."

Abbie joined Erin on the bed and slowly kissed her neck working her way down her body.

"MMM Abbie." Erin moaned as Abbie left love bites and slowly worked off Erin's clothes.

Erin could feel herself getting wetter as Abbie's actions got hotter.

Abbie slowly rid Erin of her shirt and night pants leaving her in just her sky-blue panties which were certainly ruined thanks to Abbie's heavenly oral assault on her body.

"Abbie fuck don't tease me fuck me."

Having gotten her teasing in Abbie went for it all and ate Erin out taking her to desired destination.

Abbbie! Erin cried out as Abbie pushed her over the edge leaving her shaking in post coital bliss.

Abbie joined Erin at the top of the bed holding her close.

"Abbie I love you babe thanks for that but I feel I should return the favor."

"Don't worry Erin tonight was about you you'll get your chance soon enough."

The couple drifted off to sleep felling that they had now become one.

That does it for this chapter next chapter will cover Jamie's return home the engagement announcement and the planned adoption.
