Ch. 6 Flesh Pink and Plump
(DREW)
"Thanks for picking me up, I knew Clare would try to stop me, and probably Adam too," I comment dragging my suitcase behind me as I follow Owen to his car.
I changed my return flight after hearing what Justin did, I only told Owen and Fitz I was coming home early because I wanted to surprise Clare. I also knew that she, Paige, Adam and just about everyone else, besides maybe Eli who no longer lives here, would try and stop me from killing Justin but I felt it was justified, he's had the hots for my wife for seven years and in my opinion he's a stalker. Owen said he'd pick me up from the airport and Fitz was meeting us at the station. Yesterday Clare called in sick and spent the day with Paige, this morning Fitz escorted her to work and was sticking around, he was also spying on Justin for us so we knew his movements and made sure he was staying away from Clare. I didn't think I was going overboard the least little bit, despite Clare's protests to the contrary. Justin has had deeper feelings than friendship for Clare for seven years now and I knew he wasn't just going to drop them after one failed attempt. But I was going to do my best to scare him out of any future attempts.
"No sweat, I'm itchin' to kill Justin anyway. If we'd had our way he would have stayed away as soon as Clare was out of the hospital," Owen replies.
I put my bag in the trunk of his car and he drives us to Clare's office, after transferring my bag from Owen's car to Clare's we go inside. We have no problem getting in because security knows both of us. We take the elevator to the 6th floor and walk the stairs up to the 7th floor where Justin works. We text Fitz that we're here and then we wait for Justin, we're not just hoping he'll randomly walk by the stairwell Fitz is keeping an eye on him, the next time Justin gets up from his desk Fitz will direct him toward the staircase. While we're waiting I tell Owen about the trip but when Fitz sends us a text that Justin is on his way we get on either side of the door and just a minute later it opens.
"…really Fitz it was all a misunderstanding," Justin is sort of begging as Fitz drags him into the stairwell. I was just going to talk to him and threaten him but hearing this pathetic excuse I explode a punch onto his face as soon as he sees I'm here.
"A misunderstanding," I growl picking him up by the collar and shoving him into the wall, "you kissed my wife! You were trying to take her skirt off and she told you to get out. I knew from the minute I saw you I didn't like you. I knew you had a thing for Clare. I knew going to DeGrassi and when you went to Ryerson you were stalking her. I knew it was trouble when you got a job at the same company. All that time in her office with the door closed was that to build her trust or did you just not have the courage to make a move until she was pregnant and vulnerable and I was out of town?"
"Drew n…"
"Shut up! Let me make this very clear, you will never go anywhere near my wife again. You want to keep your job here fine but you don't ever talk to Clare or go near her again unless you absolutely have to for work. If I ever find out that you were in her office again with the door closed, if I ever did anything outside of the work environment and if so much as do anything even remotely sexual or that could be considered hitting on her again the three of us will kill you."
"We'll be keeping an eye on you Justin," Owen warns him. Justin opens his mouth like he's going to try and say something but when we all glare at him he closes it again. I release him and we go through the door leaving Justin in the stairwell.
"Thanks if he has the courage to get near Clare after that I'll be surprised. Thanks for watching her this morning Fitz I'm going to go see her, maybe get her to take off early. We'll see you tomorrow Owen," I say as we walk to the elevators.
"No problem," Fitz smiles.
"Have fun tonight," Owen grins just as the elevator door dings.
They get in, I wave and walk to Clare's office, her door is open and she's not in her office but the secretary tells me Clare's out on assignment. So I go into her office, sit at her desk and wait, when I hear her coming I quickly get up and hide just inside the door. When Clare comes in I slowly close the door and lock it, Clare turns around and I attach my lips to hers for a heated kiss. Her arms go around my neck, her lips part and I exhale feeling like I'm finally home. My arms tighten around her waist, I lift her up a little and she nips my bottom lip as she pulls away.
"Hello Angel," I grin when we break from the kiss.
"You're not supposed to be home for another three hours," she says with a very happy smile on her lips.
"I caught an earlier flight so I could have more time with you."
"I'm delighted to see you but I have work to do still. I have to write some copy for my segment, it shouldn't take long though and I should be able to leave after that," she says.
"Then I'll wait," I grin.
Clare starts walking to her desk but then stops and turns around giving me a suspicious look, "You didn't talk to Justin did you?"
"Only to tell him to never come near you again," I reply.
"Andrew," she admonishes.
"He came onto you in our home and thought you were going to sleep with him! I had every right to tell him to back off," I defend my actions.
"You know in some ways you're still that bullheaded teenager I kissed in the prop room that day. In a lot of ways actually," she tells me.
"Yeah but you fell in love with him," I remind her abducting her lips again.
"Yes I did, hard and fast. No be quiet so I can write this up and get it to the script supervisor," she orders.
I salute and she smiles sitting at her desk, she starts working and I check e-mail on my phone. Bob already knew I was coming home early and after telling him what Justin did he had no problem with it. Clare finishes in half an hour and we go home, I leave my bag in the car and the very second we're in the door, and it's locked, I swoop her up and run up to the bedroom.
"I've been waiting days to do this," I inform her as I start unbuttoning her blouse and she giggles.
"You know after the baby comes there will be a period of weeks where I won't be able to have sex or penetration of any kind," she reminds me.
"I know and it's going to suck but we can be together in other ways," I tell her taking her blouse off and kissing from her jaw, down her neck and to her clavicle.
I kiss along the top of her breasts as I unhook her bra and slide it off her arms. I let it drop to the floor; I get on my knees and kiss down her naval while I cradle her pregnancy bump in my hands. I swear it looks twice as big as when I saw it just a few days ago, maybe it's just that I've missed her so very much and it's bigger than I remember. I kiss her belly all around then I unzip her skirt and shimmy it down her legs, when it's down to her ankles I help her step out of it. Now all that's left is her panties, stockings and high heels, it's an extremely sexy vision and I grab my cell phone to snap her picture.
"Andrew! You've gotten in trouble for that before," she scolds me.
"Those were on my computer not my cell phone," I comment and she twists her face at me, "I swear no one will see them, aside from maybe Owen but you know he's the BBF."
Clare just shakes her head with a smile as I get her shoes off. Next come her thigh high stockings and lastly her panties. When I drop them to the floor I grip her ass and flick her clit with my tongue. Clare moans gripping my shoulders, her body trembling a little. I stand up and carry her to the bed; I lie her down and quickly disrobe before crawling onto the bed. Then I start at her toes and kiss my way up her body, up each of her legs to her hip bones and then all over her belly, chest, breasts, chest, neck before finally attaching my lips to hers. I lick across her bottom lip and her lips part of me, her legs open as my tongue slides into her mouth. My fingers strum down her body and between her legs before scissoring into her waiting pussy. Clare moans arching her back; she nips my lower lip and grips onto me tightly. I finger her for just a few minutes until she's dripping wet then I remove my fingers, lick them clean and thrust into her.
Her back arches even higher and she lets out a purring moan. Her head cranes back into the pillow arching her neck up giving me more places to kiss and I do so fervently. I thrust in all the way and kiss down to her collar bone and her chest. I start to pull out and Clare whimpers just slightly, her nails scratch down the back of my neck, she sits up a little and she nips my neck. Her hips start buck and I slide back in slowly. I keep the pace slow for a while, enjoying kissing her flesh as much as being inside of her. After a while she gets tired of the teasing, her body tenses up, her legs lock around my waist. She grips my biceps and flips us putting herself on top and pushing me into the mattress. I grin at her as she starts riding me, fast and hard spurring herself to orgasm while I lie back and watch, enjoying the erotic vision in front of me. Her breasts bouncing, her body arching and trembling, her head craning back and her neck moving as she moans and my name drops from her lips. I take in every delicious second as her body begins to shake more and more. Then she clenches up going completely still and she looks down as her eyes lock onto mine, and then she explodes!
"Nnnggnn Drewwwww ohhhhhhhhh," she cries out her body trembling and quaking then she collapses against me.
"That was so incredibly gorgeous I wish I had filmed it. Now let's give you another," I reply rolling her to her side and getting behind her.
While she recovers from her orgasm I softly massage her breasts, tease her nipples and feel her skin. My hands dancing their way along her skin, down her torso and stopping at her clit to rub, Clare starts moaning again, she quivers and grips my other hand still massaging her breast. She opens her legs inviting me in again and I am all too eager to accept this invitation, I release her breast to stroke myself and get myself totally hard again. Then repositioning myself again I penetrate her again, Clare reaches back and grips the back of my neck. She's so incredibly tight in this position, our bodies can only move so much in this position but every little movement sends amazing euphoric sensations of ecstasy through both of us. I can feel every little quaking of her body and she can feel every little movement of mine. The way her body clenches mine is driving me crazy and I know I'm going to reach my peak any second now. To make sure Clare will be ready to release at the same time as me I start rubbing her clit again. Clare moans her body shakes wildly; she turns her head to capture my lips but only for a second before she breaks the kiss to moan. She screams my name, I scream hers as we both orgasm together.
"That was great; I love when we make love in so many positions. I think I'll buy us a Kama Sutra and we'll just work our way through the book," I comment as Clare and I recover.
"Have you seen some of the positions in that book I don't think some are physically possible," Clare giggles.
"Then we'll do all that we can," I reply and she giggles again.
"I'll buy you one for your birthday, for now we should get to sleep we're going to pick Andrew up in the morning don't forget," Clare says rolling over to kiss me.
She gets out of bed and I watch her walk off to the washroom and then I get out of bed. I go down and get some water, Clare takes the glass when she comes out of the washroom and then I go brush my teeth. When I get in bed Clare's already tucked in with the lights off. I get in and wrap my arms around her, my hands rest on her belly and her hands rest on mine.
"I Love you Angel," I smile kissing the back of her neck.
"I love you more, Drew I love you more."
(CLARE)
"It's us," Drew calls into Owen and Paige's apartment Saturday morning when we enter with our key.
"Hey Paige is just finishing packing some of Andrew's things, for such little people infants need a lot of stuff. Paige also doesn't seem to want to let him go; she's been worried about this for a couple of days now, not about you guys taking care of him just being away from him and something happening. So to make sure she can't drive to your house every time she wants to see him or gets worried we're going to Oshawa," Owen tells us.
"Good idea," Drew replies.
"I'll go help Paige," I comment walking back to the bedrooms and leaving the guys to talk. "Hey can I help?" I ask stepping into the nursery.
"Oh yeah just packing his diaper bag, I wanted to be sure you guys would have everything you needed for the weekend," she says.
"You know we can come get something if you did forget it but it doesn't look like you did. Hi Andrew are you ready to come have a fun weekend at your Godparents house?" I coo picking Andrew up and cradling him to my chest.
"Okay so you know the routine and feeding times, if he's really fussy try a car ride. He likes his swing but you may not have room to take that," Paige tells me and I can see on her face how she's fretting leaving him.
"Paige we'll be fine, all of us. We'll come back to the apartment if we need anything; we know both your numbers. It's only going to be two days and one night," I remind her.
"I know, I'm sorry. I couldn't wait for this weekend at first and now I don't want to be away from him," she sighs.
"Which is perfectly normal, but you'll come back rested and Andrew will be happy to see you," I tell her.
"Right, come here Andy say goodbye to Mommy. I love you so much, be good for Drew and Clare and we'll see you soon," Paige gushes of her son and he looks at her with big eyes.
She keeps a hold of him and goes out to the living room asking the guys to get all the bags. The guys get all of Andrew's stuff out to the car and Paige hugs Andrew again, kissing his cheeks and reluctantly giving him to Owen. He holds his son in his arm, kisses his forehead then says goodbye to Andrew and hands him to me. We hug Owen and Paige, say goodbye and go out to the car, I get Andrew in his car seat and we get in the car. First we go home and leaving Andrew in his carrier we bring in all his stuff, after that he needs to be fed and changed. Then I put the snugli carrier on Drew and put Andrew in the carrier.
"What do you think is this a manly look?" Drew asks flexing one arm and holding out Andrew's arm like he's flexing.
"Very manly, and very sexy," I smile standing on my tiptoes to kiss Drew.
We walk a few blocks to a park, walk around the park and Drew even gets on the swing and swings gently for a moment which Andrew seems to like. Paige and Owen call while we're at the park, I tell them we're doing good and send them a picture of Drew and Andrew on the swing. By the time we've walked back home Andrew is asleep, he even stays asleep when we get him out of the carrier and put him in the bassinet. It's just a little basket bassinet so we bring it out to the living room and start making ourselves lunch.
"No sweat we have this parenting thing down," Drew grins chopping carrots for a salad.
"We've had him for two hours it will be a little different when it's twenty four hours a day seven days a week," I remind him.
"We'll be fine, think of all we've been through, I had to fight Eli for you, we had to convince a lot of people we were meant for each other, had to fight with your mom and your sister, my concussions, your cancer, your mom's death. After all that a baby will be a cake walk," Drew shrugs.
"Somehow I doubt you'll be saying that in a few months when we're new parents but I like the enthusiasm," I grin. I kiss his cheek and we finish lunch, just as we're sitting down to eat Andrew wakes up crying.
"Wow that kid can scream, how's a little thing like that make such loud sounds?" Drew comments walking over to pick up Andrew.
"Well we know both his parents are screamers," I reply and Drew looks back at me with grin.
"He must be hungry I'll feed him you eat," Drew says.
I smile at him and sit down to eat. Watching Drew feeding Andrew makes me smile, he cradles him and coos at him while Andrew eats. He's going to be a fabulous dad and our little girl or boy will grow up with Andrew, they'll be so close. I get sort of lost in a day dream of the future; Owen, Paige, Drew and I and our kids on vacation, taking the kids to their first day of school together, watching them grow up as close friends if not best friends.
"Angel are you okay you aren't eating?"
"Hmm sorry I was just thinking about our baby growing up with Andrew, I guess I was day dreaming do you need me to take him?"
"No we're fine you eat," Drew replies and I blow him a kiss.
I finish lunch and while Drew is eating I take Andrew, who now needs to be changed. We spend the rest of the day at the house mostly playing with Andrew. Paige calls three more times before Owen tells us he's going to hide her phone. We put Andrew in his little bouncy seat that sits on the table while we make dinner, after dinner I feed Andrew while Drew cleans up.
"We should give him a bath where's the little bath chair?" I ask after changing Andrew.
"I'll grab it, we can do it in our bathtub," Drew says and runs upstairs.
I follow him holding Andrew. Drew runs a bath and finds the body wash. We give Andrew a bath and then Drew dries him off, we put a fresh diaper on him and take him downstairs. We hold him on the sofa and play with him for a while before feeding him one last time before bed. We swaddle him, get him in the bassinet and I turn the baby monitor on. Then Drew and I go downstairs and watch TV for a while.
"See no sweat we are going to be fabulous parents," Drew yawns as we crawl into bed.
"No arguments here," I smile giving Drew a tender kiss. He goes into the washroom to brush his teeth and I change for bed.
"You never wear anything to bed," he complains when he comes out.
"Yes but we have company tonight," I point out.
"He's sleeping and he's three weeks old he doesn't know the difference. Besides babies like skin," Drew responds coming over and taking off my nightie.
"How is it possible that I love this body even more now that you're pregnant?" Drew comments wrapping his arms around me from behind and kissing my neck.
"Because you're crazy and in love with me," I reply.
"That I am Angel, madly, deeply, truly, incredibly, insanely in love with you."
"I still love you more," I smile capturing his lips for a feverish, loving, passionate kiss.
Drew grins into the kiss, tightens his arms around me and I fall asleep wonderfully and endlessly happy in my husband's arms.
Update Thursday May 21st continuing with Drew and Clare caring for Andrew, an anniversary will be celebrated and we find out the sex of Drew and Clare's baby.
