Chapter Marla (1 year later)
I take a deep breath as I step out of the back door. its early and I'm the only one up.
must have something to do with being 9 months pregnant and being fucking uncomfortable...
I told myself after Mason that I was done having babies, but those boys are like horny teenagers when I'm around.
and the last few months have been wild with my hormones running rampant through my body.
it's like sex is life, literally can't get enough.
we decided early on that one of them would be with me at all times, in case I "get needs" as Shane put it, but I know it's more than that, they all worry about me.
the last year for me has been a roller-coaster of emotions and sky-high anxiety.
waking in the hospital with a draining tube stuck in my side and a mask over my face freaked me out.
the nurses were fantastic and explained I had been asleep for two months. lucky to be alive.
fucking Steve!
lucky indeed. I died three times on the way to the hospital. a weak pulse was found, and I was finally stabilized enough to get me through surgery.
then a further two surgeries followed that. now I have a pretty scar to show for my efforts.
I came home after another month when I woke up.
the boys didn't want to rush me, but I was eager to get home so we could move on with our lives.
the restaurant was doing well, and the boys were still helping out with Mr. Halls at the shop. Brea was attending night cooking classes because he wanted to become a chef at the shack.
the boys teased him endlessly because even Cadence could cook a burger and fries. but Brea is determined if not stubborn.
we changed the look of the shack, Aswell as the menu but kept the name.
we catered for more family's rather than couples, but that doesn't mean couples Arnt allowed. the Decore is homely but safe for kids to run around.
we even added a playground outside for when the summer season is here. after all it is a hot spot for tourists.
Max and Brea recently got back from New York; they went to pay Nina a little visit. Eric had gotten her information and address. Max was chomping at the bit to bring hell to her door.
I didn't really want to know the details. after killing Steve, I had nightmares for a while. the police never pressed charges because it was also attempted murder against me. so, all was filed away.
turns out when Max and Brea found Nina, she was already in hell. she was living with her sister and her sister's boyfriend; both were drug addicts, the boyfriend a pimp.
Nina soon became addicted to crack, meth and heroin before moving on to prostitution to feed her habit.
did she get what she deserved... maybe.
Max could see she was already at deaths door, even speaking to Max and asking him if he wanted a blowjob, she didn't know who he was.
Max left with a smile on his face.
Alex suffered so some PTSD after the shooting, he had flashbacks of me being shot and falling to the floor. but a few months in therapy and he was as good as new.
I fell pregnant a month after I came home, the boys treating me like a fragile doll was becoming too much.
so, after a brief date night when the kids were out, I took matters into my own hands. I pounced on Alex and anything that occurred after that can only be described as an orgy.
sweaty bodies against sweaty bodies.
hands and mouths.
whose hands were on who and who's mouths were on who, I have no idea. but it was one of the best nights of my life.
funny enough we have had several more nights like that too.
"Good morning baby" Max yawns as he comes outside holding two mugs of coffee.
one fully caffeinated for him and one-half caffeinated for me.
I don't believe in the whole giving up coffee when pregnant, but to please the masses I cut back.
"Good morning... did you sleep well" I ask taking a sip of my morning joe.
Max smiles at me, his hair is a mess. he truly looks like he's just been fucked.
"After I gave you an orgasm and fucked Brea hard and fast... I slept like a log" he grins.
I'm instantly wet between my legs. watching him and Brea together never gets old, and hearing his crass words turns me on like nothing else.
I laugh and instantly regret it.
now I am wet between my legs, like super wet.
"what's wrong" Max asked not liking the look on my face.
"I think my water just broke" I reply.
shit, is that a contraction already, a mild cramp shoots through my middle section.
"Fuck... ok I'll go get the others up" Max kisses me quickly and runs inside.
another wave of pain hits my stomach but nothing I can't handle.
the Dr told me with this being my fifth baby it could come super quick and at any time.
I stand on shaky legs and walk into the house. I feel gross between my legs, but it is what it is.
"Sweetheart." Shane calls as he comes into the kitchen.
"hey" I smile as another bout of pain hits me, and I bend forward to gain control.
"Shit... It's really happening" Alex says as he walks in the room carrying what looks like my hospital bag.
"Like now" I breath still bent over.
"Fuck... ok let's go" Max shouts as he heads for the door.
"Good luck mom" Ellish shouts from the top of the stairs.
he's been my little solider since I've been pregnant, always checking on me, Colby and Mason who by the way, are doing exceptionally well in school.
both have joined the soccer team, and both get slightly embarrassed when all of us show up for a game to shout out words of support.
Cadence is our little ballerina. her and Jaymee dance together, practicing for hours at either of our houses, which Nicole loves now she has Baby Frankie to look after, both girls adore him and help her as much as they can.
"And push" the nurse yells as I squeeze down on my pelvis.
I pant and catch my breath.
Alex is holding my left hand while Max holds my right.
Shane is filming near the foot of the bed, while Brea calls out encouraging words.
"One more Marla, the head is right there" the nurse yells through my raised panting.
one final push and the baby slides free. I'm exhausted, and sweaty.
"You have a beautiful little girl" the nurse tells us as she hands the baby to me, placing her on my chest.
"Wow... she's beautiful like her mom" Max sniffs. such a big softy.
"Julietta" I whisper.
I wanted to name her after the woman who helped more than she will ever know.
"Well done sweetheart" Shane says kissing me on the head. "she's adorable" he adds.
"You did so good baby" Max adds kissing me on the cheek. "Julietta" he adds with a whisper kissing her hand.
"Another little ray of sunshine" Alex coos as he kisses my head then Julietta. "I love you sunshine" he adds kissing me on the lips.
"I'm proud of you pretty girl" Brea comes over and kisses my other cheek. "she's the spitting image of her momma" he adds looking at her intently.
god I love these guys.
who would have thought all those years ago I would be here now. married with five kids and in a relationship with three others.
now Steve is gone we can have a future, a real one.
and that starts now!
