Thrive - Side 2

I am coming home from tour today and there’s no telling how I’m gonna feel when I walk through the door. Since Abby wasn’t up for heading to the airport to pick me up, she stayed home while I took a taxi home. I sent her a text when I was five minutes away.

“Here we go.” I said as I walked up our driveway.

When I unlocked the door, I heard movement. Abby was about to reach the foyer when I walked toward her. She closed the small distance between us and wrapped her arms around my neck while I wrapped my arms around her.

“I missed you.” she cried.

“I missed you, too.”

I smiled at her for a moment before kissing her and she continued on with the kiss, deepening it.

“That includes your lips.” I added.

“Same with you, hot stuff.”

“Let me take my stuff upstairs and I’ll be back.”

When I came back, I found Abby in the living room. She snuggled up to me once I took a seat on the couch and wrapped an arm around her, laying a hand on her belly.

“This is so nice.” she said.

“What?”

“Your touch and the fact that we’re all together as a family.”

“I agree. I missed it so much, more than I ever have.”

Scarlett kicked and I heard sniffling.

“Abby?”

“I’m okay. Just happy.”

-kick-

“I missed you, too, Scarlett.” I said, rubbing her belly.

A couple of tears fell onto my shirt; she buried her face into my shirt as more tears fell. I started to move which caused her to do the same. I took her head in my hands and wiped away her tears.

“I hate it when you cry.”

“I can’t help it.”

“I love you.”

“I love you, too.” she said, smiling.

In a matter of seconds, she kissed me, placing her hands on my shoulders and I pulled her onto my lap.

“Wanna take this upstairs?” I said in a breathy voice.

I didn’t respond as I got up and she locked her legs around my waist then made our way up the steps and into our bedroom. She removed her shirt and bra, but that was it. When she looked up at me, I just stepped out of my pants and had my eyes on her looking like I hadn’t eaten for days.

“Come and get me, big boy." she said seductively, sitting on the edge of the bed.

I growled and walked toward her.

"Does someone need help?" I asked, looking straight into her eyes.

"You have no idea."

I pulled them off and tossed them aside. I touched her through her panties, she let out a moan which I thoroughly enjoyed. The second I removed them, I placed my mouth on her pussy, followed by my tongue.

"Yes." she moaned, throwing her head back.

She was on the verge of an orgasm when my tongue landed on her clit and I was putting pressure on her thighs.

"Fuck Alex." she said as she came.

When I was back at eye level, she reattached her lips to mine and I proceeded to stand us up.

“How do-” I said against her lips.

“Bed. Then, I’ll give you further instructions.”

I separated and went to lie on the bed. Once I was there, she carefully crawled on top of me. I ran my hands up and down her body and gazed up at her like the goddess she is.

“Let me do all the work. Just keep your hands on me.”

I nodded. She found my growing erection and adjusted herself, so I could enter her and once I was inside, she began moving her hips.

“Abby.” I moaned.

“Alex.”

She slowly moved her hips, but that’s not even an option at this point; it doesn’t matter. I’m with the love of my life, and no matter the kind of sex we have, it’s amazing and beautiful.

“Oh my God.” she said, throwing her head back.

Once she came, she placed her hands on mine where they were still on her hips.

“I know I said this just minutes ago, but I really did miss you.” she said, smiling.

“I really missed you, too.”

“Mind if we lie down?”

“There’s nothing more that I’d like to do right now.”

I helped her get up so she could move and lie down on her side. I laid down next to her, wrapping my arms around her.

“I love you.” she said.

“I love you, too.” I said, kissing the back of her neck.

I woke an hour later due to Abby squeezing the hell out of my head.

Is there something wrong?

“Abby?”

When she didn’t respond, I began to panic.

“Are you okay?”

“Pain.”

“Where?”

“Hips. It’s fine.”

“You’re not having contractions?”

“No. I’m fine. My body’s just getting ready for her to come out." she repeated.

What a relief.

“Anything I can do?”

“Let me go pee. I have to pee all of a sudden.”

I let her go and she struggled to get out of bed, but managed to walk toward the bathroom. When she came back, I was putting on clothes.

“Feeling better?”

“Definitely. Could you hand me my clothes please?” she asked, sitting down.

I nodded and picked up her clothes and handed them to her. She put them on and sighed, pushing on the bed to get herself up.

“Let me help.” I asked, walking toward her.

She nodded and took my hand.

“Thank you.”

“My pleasure.”

“Can I make you something?” she asked, walking out of the bedroom.

“I’m making us something. You go relax.”

“Alex.”

“Abby. If you love me, you’ll let me cook.”

She gave me a look before caving in.

“Ok. You can cook.”

I smiled and kissed her. She started down the steps with me right in front of her, in case I tripped or began to fall. She made it to the bottom a bit winded.

“What can I get you to drink?”

“Water.”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Surprise me.”

While I went into the kitchen, she walked into the living room and lied on the couch with her propped up on some pillows. I came back a minute later with her drink.

“Could you do something for me?” she asked.

“Anything.”

“Grab my headphones for me please.”

“Of course.” I said leaning down to kiss her.

I went straight upstairs to grabs them.

“Find something?” I said, handing her headphones.

She shook her head and turned them on.

“Can I pick something?”

“Sure.”

It only took me a few seconds till I decided.

Simple Plan.

“I like the way you think.”

She pressed play and placed them on her belly. I smiled at her when I saw the smile on her face.

“I’m taking a picture.” I said.

“Ok.”

The moment had to be captured because how often have I been here for this?

“Perfect.”

I put my phone away and walked over to her with me already on Instagram. I was so excited as I wrote the caption for it before posting it.

“Go onto your account.” I said, kneeling beside her.

She laughed and got onto hers.

Just Mom and I exposing our little one to awesome music. #babygirl #music #loveyou

I also tagged her in it.

“Oh, Alex.” she said, bringing my lips to hers.

"You like it?"

"I love it. You're amazing."

I blushed.

"Now, it's my turn to take a picture. Kiss my cheek."

She got her phone and took a quick one.

"You are seriously cute as fuck." I said, looking at the pic.

It was her turn to blush. I took her face into my hands and kissed her.

“Tell me you weren’t already cooking when you came in here.” she asked after a moment.

“No. I was only getting out ingredients.”

“That’s a relief. I didn’t want me to be the reason something burnt.”

“If you were, that’s why we can always order something.”

“You’re right.”

“I’ll be back in a bit. Love you.”

“Love you, too.”

I came back from the kitchen twenty minutes later to see her engrossed in a movie.

“Abby?”

“Yeah?” she said with a goofy smile on her face.

“What’s up?”

“My favorite movie’s on.”

Singin' in the Rain.

Such a classic.

“So, it is. Ready to eat?” I said, looking at the screen.

“Yep. Just give me a second.”

She took off her headphones and swung her feet then pushed herself up and off the couch. She grasped my hand and held it tightly as we walked to the dining room.

“I am so sick of this.” she said once she sat back down.

“Sick of what?”

“Difficulty getting up and sore joints.”

“It’ll be over soon.”

“Yeah. Five weeks.”

I made a face and squeezed her hand before kissing her cheek and heading to the kitchen. While I was in there, I opened up my phone and saw a cute post that caused me to smile.

Over the moon that my better half is back! Love ya, babe! #loveyou #ecstatic #imissedyou

I came back with two plates of chicken and Thai noodles.

“You went simple. Love it. Thank you.”

“My pleasure.”

She dug in and smiled.

“This is delicious.” she said with her mouth full.

I laughed.

“I appreciate that. I missed some home cooking.”

“I can make a roast this weekend if you’d like.”

“I love you, but isn’t that gonna be a bit hard?”

She groaned.

“If I make it, you could take it in and out of the oven for me. That way I’m technically making it.”

“Ok. Sounds good.”

Another minute passed before either one of us spoke again.

“I saw your post.” I said.

She blushed.

“I loved it.”

“I hoped so. It’s the truth.”

After we ate, we went back into the living room and started the movie from the beginning with her singing along much to my delight. It was one of several great moments of the day.
