“home sweet home” I smiled stepping out of the car.
“home sweet home” he repeated quietly as he pulled out his key and slid it in the front of our home.
“Brody is asleep” I whispered as we entered the house, we had finally landed after the long but definitely fun flight, shagging in a small bathroom had us going back for a second go, almost getting caught until I told the flight attendant Blake has medical condition and needed help, yeah he was pretty pissed about that.
“let's get to bed sweetheart” he whispered back and stopped as he looked around the house.
My eyes were looking at what he was and I noticed the place was full of flowers, a hard reminder of what we've lost.
“babe” I placed my hand on his lower back and nudged him forward “let's go to sleep” I lent into his side and he started moving again.
Rolling over I woke up to the smell of vanilla, bread and something else I couldn't figure out “what smells amazing?” I asked keeping my eyes closed from the sunlight beaming through the curtains.
“that would be your amazing husband” Blake teased kissing my nose with a soft peck.
My eyes opened instantly to his cute and cheesy grin “amazing and sexy husband”
“I went and brought you breakfast” he lent over kissing me slowly “vanilla latte, blueberry muffin and maybe a pizza bread if your nice” he kissed down my neck.
“Blake I'm starving feed me” I laughed quietly “I need food to get more energy because some sex god kept me up all night when we were meant to be sleeping”
He groaned pulling away “sex god huh?” he then grinned looking happy.
I looked at him seriously, his hair still half messed up, his blue eyes staring into mine, a half grin on his face, I felt my eyes water up from just how strong my feelings were for him “I really love you”
“I really love you as well” he smiled back.
Sitting up having breakfast in bed eating the pizza bread, I was actually starving Blake was picking the blue berries out of my muffin and eating them on me “your eating the best parts” I pouted sadly finishing off the last bit of the bread, he handed me the rest of the muffin, well half a muffin with a few blueberries.
“thank you for breakfast babe” I smiled kissing him gently as I leaned into him, he took that chance to dodge my kiss and grab another chunk of the muffin and shove it in his mouth.
We got up and walked into the shower, glad that Brody was at work or well that's where I think he was since he hasn't said anything to us, maybe he doesn't realise we're back just yet “I want to do something today if your feeling ok with it?” He raised his brows waiting for me to finish speaking “the photos you took, I want to print them out” I quietly suggested.
He pulled me closer to his body as he ran a hand through my wet hair “I think that would be a good idea, why don’t we go get the photos done and we can print the ones of us as a now married couple as well?”
An hour later we was in the car heading to the photo shop in town, I was feeling a bit nervous, neither of us have looked at the photos. Standing next to Blake while he sat on the stool in the crowded photo shop staring at the photos of Thomas and Lily it hit me like a ton of bricks, I couldn't take my eyes off them.
Picking the photos up we brought some nice frames to put the enlargements in, we made the way back to the apartment, I sent Brooke a text to let her know we was back and she was pretty excited to see us, I was also curious to see what was going on with her and Ryan.
When we was in the kitchen I spotted them, a massive pile of unopened sympathy cards, I picked them all up and looked at Blake “I cant open these yet” I whispered.
“me either babe” he answered then frowned as he started walking over to the box on the floor by the couch, I hadn't noticed it until he picked it up bringing it back over to us “babe, do you know what this is?” he asked, I shook my head, I watched him as he reached into the box and pulled out a small silver urn.
“oh god” I gasped looking away, I looked back at the urn Blake was holding and read the little inscription on the front.
Thomas Blake and Lily Alexandra Ashton
26th July 2012
our little angels taken far too soon
will never be forgotten
“did you want to sit it out on the table in our room?” Blake asked not looking at me, his voice slightly broken.'
I sniffed through the tears “yeah” I said standing up and following him into the bedroom and pulling out the photo frames and photos “I don’t want to ignore the fact we have, had two babies together, I want to have their photos out and remember them”
“I agree, just because we don’t get to have them with us doesn't mean we shouldn't have their photos around” he smiled laying down taking a photo and looking at it before slipping it in the frame, he sat the photos next to the urn, then sitting back next to me.
I straddled his waist “I know we are going to have a house full of little kids running around” I smiled.
He grinned “how many?” he asked again, he loved this question and I think it was to make sure I didn't change my mind.
“as many as you want” I bent down kissing him softly, he flipped me over now straddling my waist, the front door opening and the loud close letting us know Brody was home.
He nodded as his hands ran up and down my waist sending a slight shiver throughout me “Sounds perfect sweetheart, lets go tell Brody we're married” he kissed me then moved off me only to have me pull him back to my body.
“give your wife a proper kiss” I smiled and he smiled back, lowering his head and capturing my lips with his in a passion filled kiss.
“Brody” I called out as we entered the living room.
He stared at us both in a slight shock as if he hadn't realised we were back home yet.
“holy shit I knew it, I swear I head the bed banging into my wall last night” he grinned throwing his arms around the both of us at the same time.
“that'd be us little brother” Blake chuckled.
“so how are you both?” Brody asked as we sat on the couch, he was yet to know about us getting married.
“good, we're good” I grinned holding Blake's hand.
He looked at us smiling “so how was the place you stayed at? Did you do anything other than your usual banging?”
“well we did lots of things, went for walks, swam heaps, went to the markets and did something completely amazing” I answered.
“what happened?” he asked narrowing his eyes slightly “you both seem really happy”
“why don’t you put this on first” I handed him the DVD of us getting married.
We all sat in silence, the DVD came on and Blake and I was standing on the beach, when it had finished he jumped up off the couch “WHAT!!! are you fucking serious! Married!”
“yep, we got married over a week ago” Blake pulled me into his body and as I held my hand up to show off the sparkling rings.
“you really went and eloped?” he lent back with his mouth hanging open slightly.
“sure did” Blake grinned taking my hand and kissing it “want to go tell my parents?” he asked with a slight uncomfortable laugh.
I nodded “sure, maybe we could stop by mums and see her” I suggested and he nodded.
While Blake was on the phone to his parents to make sure they was home Brody and I went into our bedroom, he seemed to have noticed the photos of Thomas and Lily and the urn “so Blake and you are ok about everything?” he asked quietly looking over the photo of the four of us.
“yeah I mean it's tough and hurts like hell, but we both want to have more babies again, we want a family and we wanted to get married so that was a step forward for us, a big step that just seemed so right” I answered sitting down on the bed.
“that's good, I was worried I'd never see you again, what about Cole?” he looked away at the mention of his name.
“I think I'm in shock about that still” I sighed.
“umm Jenny's parents came around, they want to see you” he sad quickly and quietly.
“who wants to see us?” Blake walked in and looked between us both.
“the bitch's parents who if I ever hear her name come out of your lips I will punch your nose in” I glared at him feeling the tears coming back.
“Lex don’t cry, I know it's her fault babe, and I have nothing to say to her family, they can fucking rot in hell for all I care” he pulled me closer “I love you so much, my parents are home so we should head off if you still want too?” he asked, I nodded giving him a kiss, following him out of the bedroom.
When we made the way to his parents place it was around 5pm before we pulled in the driveway, his parents rushed out before we could even get out of the car “love you babe” Blake grinned as we got out of the car, his mum pulled me into a big hug holding onto me for ages, when she finally let me go his dad did the same.
We sat inside Blake sat next to me holding my hand “mum, dad we have some news” he started, we heard the door close and Kayla and Scott walked in and then gave us bone crushing hugs again.
“what was you saying dear?” his mum asked looking slightly interested.
“yeah we have some news” Blake grinned taking my hand again “we got married”
Everyone stared at us not knowing whether we was joking or not, Blake held up our hands showing off our rings “we really did get married the other week”
His mum rushed over crying and pulling us into another hug “congratulations, that is fantastic but I wish you would have let me plan a party, maybe we can still have one” he pulled back wiping her eyes as Blake's dad chuckled at her.
“wow I didn’t think that would happen” Scott frowned “your going to have a proper wedding though aren't you?” he asked staring directly at me.
I looked back at him, what does he mean proper wedding, I was about to speak when Blake bet me “we are married legally, we had a proper wedding” Blake frowned.
Scott didn’t say anything after that, he sat there pretty quiet but kept his sight on me. Blake was getting agitated over him staring at me with a scowl “problem Scott?” Blake sighed heavily.
“yeah I don’t know how you could be so selfish to marry her so soon after what just happened, you ever stop and think maybe she wanted a proper wedding with her family”
I could feel the tension in the room growing, Blake's nostrils flared as his breathing quickened “fuck off” he hissed low.
“come on, if Blake and Alex are happy then we shouldn't bring them down, they've been through enough this month and if they are fine with being married then I'm happy with it, but I do want to see the video” his mum smiled trying to stop the argument as she came back over and took my hand to look at the rings.
“just wait until he gets sick of you and divorces you for someone younger, just like he left Jenny” Scott muttered and my head snapped up to his at the mention of her name, obviously I wasn't quick enough since I didn’t even see Blake shoot off the couch as he lunged directly into Scott.
Both of them falling to the ground and engaging in one hell of a fist fight.
