Protecting Daniel

Chapter 9

Minnie's POV

We got home and were up in our bedroom. I didn't feel better but I had to get used to our option now.

"So now what?" I asked, softly.

"We need to talk to an agency. I can call tomorrow," Riker said. He came and sat next to me, putting his arm around me."do you want a girl or boy? Or does it matter?" He asked.

"I want a girl," I said to my husband.

"I was thinking we could go away for awhile too. What do you think?"

"I think time alone would be great and maybe we could talk about living on our own. Together. Our own place." he said.

"I'd love our own place," I said," can we start looking?"

I needed a good distraction.

"Of course," he said reaching for his laptop.

"I think that a good backyard is important, we could put a swing set in the backyard for her for when she's big enough," I said.

"Exactly a few rooms we could adopt a lot!!" he said.

My eyes went wide," are you trying to start a new band," I teased.

"No just the big family we once said we wanted," he chuckled.

"Adopting a few sounds nice," I said.

"Okay. So houses we wanna stay here in LA or get closer to mom and dad or what?" he asked.

"Probably LA, you still have to work," I said.

"Ahhh tru tru sounds good ," he said.

I smiled," I'm sure we can still find a nice place," I said. He kissed me softly and I wrapped my arms around him kissing him back.

"I love you Minnie you know that right? that this bump in the road is in no way an end to anything right?" he whispered.

"Yes I know and in time I'll be okay about everything too," I whispered. I laid down and he lay on top of me.

"I just want you to know life goes on. We can still have everything we want," he said, running his hands down my sides.

"And you'll never leave me?" I asked softly.

"Never ever. not for anything" he promised. I kissed him softly, our legs getting tangled up in each other.

"Let me prove it." he purred gently, lifting my shirt up and over my head.

"oh. babe im um gosh I'd love to but I'm pretty sore from my exam this morning. can you ugh give me till tomorrow?" I whispered. I wanted it so bad but I was a bit sore.

"Tomorrow it is than," he said kissing me, slipping his tongue into my mouth.

"Mmm, you're so tempting" I smiled, "I promise. first thing in the morning." He chuckled.

"Will never say no to that kind of wakeup." he smirked.

"I love waking you up that way," I said kissing his neck.

"I know you do. so whats up for dinner?" he asked.

'We JUST ate." I laughed.

"I'm a man I got needs." he joked.

"What do you want to eat I'll fix you something," I said.

"Hmm, I dunno, surprise me," he chuckled.

"We should go to the beach this weekend again. It was nice," I said grabbing my shirt and put it back on again.

"I'd like that. and maybe sometime, you can meet your nephew" he said, "it might help"
