Sorry this took so long. I got caught up with school work and I started back at work finally! Anyway, here's chapter 22.


Olivia cuddled up next to Charles. "Mm, that was amazing," she whispered. "My handsome husband," she whispered.

Charles smiled. "It was amazing, you were amazing. You are amazing. My beautiful wife."

Olivia smiled and kissed him softly. "How about we get dressed and go cuddle up in the library and wait for the kids. Tell them the good news."

Charles's smile grew. "I can't wait to tell them. The girls may not understand the adoption thing though, why they can't be adopted."

Olivia nodded. "I know, it'll be hard but unless Pauline is going to give up her parental rights, there isn't anything we can do. Maybe we can do a little something with me and the girls where I promise them that I will love them as if they were my own. No matter what. I'll adopt them in my heart."

Charles held her tight. "This is why I love you, you find ways to include everyone in just about everything."

Olivia giggled. "Everything but us time," she said with a wink. "Today has been the best day of my life thus far. And I'm sure my days will only get better if I'm with you."

Charles kissed her neck gently. "Everyday is only going to get better, because we have each other."

Olivia let out a soft moan. "If you don't stop we're going to be tangled in the sheets when the kids get home." She sat up and smiled. "Come on, let's get dressed." She got out of bed and slipped into a bra and panties. She looked over her shoulder at Charles. "You gonna get dressed or are you going to stare at me all day?"

Charles stood up and put on boxers then stood behind her and rested his hands on her hips. "Just admiring the woman I get to call my wife for the rest of my life."

Olivia covered his hands with her own. "Mm, my charming husband. As much as I want to celebrate all day and all night, the kids will be home soon. We need to get dressed," she giggled and turned in his arms. "But we can continue this later. When it's just you and me," she kissed him gently and broke it softly. "Get some clothes on that sexy body, Mr. Brooks."

Charles smirked. "As you wish, Mrs. Brooks." He saw Olivia smile at the use of Mrs. Brooks. They both slipped into comfortable clothes and walked down to the library. Olivia sat on Charles's lap and cuddled up with him.

Olivia closed her eyes and smiled. "I just want to do this for the rest of my life," she whispered and snuggled further into him. "This is exactly how I wanted my wedding day to be. Cuddling with you." She kissed him softly. "I couldn't be happier to be your wife."

Charles smiled and caressed her face. "I couldn't be more grateful to be your husband," he whispered. "This day is perfect. It'll be even more perfect once our kids get home."

Olivia couldn't help the bright smile that crossed her face. "Our kids," she whispered. "Mm, we're a family." She said, tears pricking her eyes but the bright smile never faded from her face. "I've always wanted a family. My family started with Noah, and that would have been enough, for the rest of my life if it was just me and Noah, it would have been more than I could have ever hoped for. But then my family expanded, to you and the girls, and I'm just over the moon. Of course my squad is like family, but it's different, you know. I don't come home to my squad."

Charles kissed her temple. "You have a family, we have a family," he whispered.

The door opened and all three kids came running in. Olivia smiled and hugged all three of them, kissing the top of their heads. "How were your days?"

A chorus of "Good!" rung out from the three kids.

Olivia smiled. "Good," she looked at Charles and squeezed his hand. "Can we tell them?"

Charles kissed her temple. "Tell them," he whispered.

Bianca spoke up. "Tell us what?" She asked excitedly.

Olivia's smile grew. "Well you know how we're going to have a wedding and you three are going to be in it?" She saw the kids nod. "Well, today we got legally married, just us and a witness and a judge. We couldn't wait any longer to be married. But we're still going to have a big wedding with the three of you in it. And, Noah, when we have our big wedding, Charles is going to adopt you."

Nicole spoke up next. "Olivia, are you going to adopt us?"

Olivia gave a sad smile. "Oh sweetie, I'd love to adopt you. But there's a law that says a kid can only have two parents, legally anyway. And you have your mom and your dad, so legally I can't adopt you. But I can adopt you in my heart, promise you everything that I'd promise if I were legally adopting you, because I love you girls as if you were my own. A piece of paper, the law, heck even blood isn't what makes a family, love makes a family. Sound good?" She saw the girls nod. "Okay," she smiled and kissed their foreheads. "So, how about we get dinner out to celebrate?"

The kids all agreed. "Can we have tacos?" Noah asked.

Olivia smiled. "As long as the girls are okay with it."

Bianca and Nicole smiled and nodded. "Tacos!" Bianca said.

Olivia chuckled a little bit and gave Charles a peck on the lips before getting up to order dinner. Noah walked over to Charles and looked at him. "You're going to be my daddy?"

Charles smiled. "Yeah, Bud. Is that okay?"

Noah hugged Charles tight, tears in his eyes. "I'm gonna have a daddy."

Charles kissed the top of his head. "Yeah you will." He rubbed Noah's back and soothed him.

Noah pulled away and wiped his eyes. "Thank you Charles."

Charles smiled. "You're welcome Noah."

Olivia walked back in and smiled. This was her family. "Okay kids, how about you do your homework while we wait for dinner." The kids ran off to do their homework and Olivia sat on Charles's lap. "Hi." She smiled and kissed him gently.

Charles let out a satisfied moan. "Hi yourself," he whispered as they broke apart.

Olivia smiled. "I love our family." She whispered. "And I love you. And I love that we're married."

Charles smiled. "I can't wait to celebrate with you once the kids go to bed."

Olivia looked at him and gasped. "You, my love, have a one track mind," she whispered and kissed his neck.

Charles held the back of her head. "Oh, Livia."

Olivia stopped and rested her forehead against his. "A little sneak peek of what's to come tonight," she whispered.

Charles smirked. "Now who has the one track mind?"

Olivia grinned. "It's easy with you," she giggled.

The tacos came and they all ate dinner, since the kids finished their homework they played Twister for a little bit and then they read a chapter of a book together then tucked everyone in to bed. Olivia walked into their bedroom once she said Goodnight to all the kids and saw Charles. "Hi."

Charles turned and smiled. "Hi yourself," he walked over to her and wrapped her in his arms and backed her up against the door, closing it in the process. "My beautiful wife."

Olivia grinned. "My handsome husband," she whispered and kissed him softly. "Mm." She broke the kiss and smiled. "I want two things right now, and both involve us… naked…"

Charles saw her eyes darken and he grinned. "What do you want, baby?"

Olivia bit her bottom lip. "I want to take a bath with you in our gorgeous tub, and I want to fuck you. But the question is, which one should we do first?"

Charles groaned. "Oh, fuck me baby. Ride me," he whispered in her ear, kissing her neck.

Olivia moaned and jumped into his arms. "Take me to bed," she whispered. "And let me work my magic," she bit at his earlobe and ran her hands over his chest.

Charles carried her to the bed and set her down, she immediately pushed him back into the bed and he groaned, watching her undress. Once she was nude she started to undress him, kissing the newly exposed skin as she went. She pulled his pants and boxers down and gasped. "Livia," he groaned as she started stroking him.

Olivia grinned and ran her nails over his inner thighs. "You ready for me?"

Charles let his head fall back. "Yeah, baby."

Olivia smirked and straddled him and sunk onto him. "Oh, baby," she moaned and started to ride him slowly, both moaned louder. "Oh, you like that Mr. Brooks?"

Charles groaned. "Oh yeah, I love that baby."

Olivia leaned over and kissed him passionately, muffling her moans as she rode him fast and hard. "I want you to come for me," she whispered against his lips, continuing to kiss him. "Oh, you feel so good," she whined.

Charles moaned and gripped her hips, helping guide her over him. "You feel incredible," he whispered as he gripped her hair. "Oh, baby, just like that. Don't stop."

Olivia felt a fire rise in her belly and she let out a strangled moan. "I need you to come with me, and I am so close, come on baby. Come for me."

Charles couldn't hold on any longer, he released inside her, her orgasm hot on his heels. She continued to ride him until they were both spent. /she collapsed on top of him and he rubbed her back. "You're so sexy when you take control."

Olivia was breathless. She smiled and kissed his neck gently. "I like being in control sometimes, but I also love it when you're on top of me and look deep into my eyes. It's like we're the only two in the world."

Charles smiled. "Because in that minute we are."

Olivia nuzzled into him. "I guess we're just good at this no matter how we do it, hmm?"

Charles chuckled. "I think you're right," he kissed the top of her head. "Plus we still have our bath."

Olivia bit her bottom lip. "You're going to have to wait until I can feel my legs again, because right now they're all tingly."

Charles smiled. "Or I could carry you. We really should bathe before we fall asleep. We smell like sex," he whispered in her ear.

Olivia smiled. "I will never say no to you carrying me." She felt him maneuver them so he could pick her up and carry her into their ensuite bathroom. He set her on the counter of the sink and turned on the water and adjusted the temperature, getting it just right and then plugging the tub so it could start to fill. He walked over to Olivia and stood between her legs. "Getting to bathe with you is a distinct pleasure."

Olivia blushed. "Flattery will get you everywhere, Mr. Brooks." She whispered, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him softly. "But don't you think that we should take a break for tonight? As much as I love making love to you, my body can only take so much pleasure," she grinned.

Charles smiled. "Anything you say my love."

Olivia started to panic. "It's not that I don't want more, it's that… you love me so good baby, my body needs a break, that's all. I can't get enough of you… only, I guess-"

Charles cut her off with a kiss. "Hey, it's okay. If you need a break, you need a break. Where'd your head go?"

Olivia shrugged. "I just… I don't want you thinking that I don't want you. I always want you."

Charles wiped the stray tear away from her eye and smiled at her. "I know that, Livia. Trust me. I'm not offended that you need a break. I'm flattered actually." Come on, let's get in the bathtub and relax. Let me hold you."

Olivia smiled as he turned off the water and helped her off the counter, helping her into the bath and then climbing in behind her. Both sat down and she relaxed back in his arms. "Mm," she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his. "Perfect."

Charles smiled. "Just like you."
