Forever

A day off

The next morning came and Scarlett started to get out of bed, but Tommy pulled her back. She laughed as he kissed her neck.
"I have to go to work, Tommy."
"No, you don't."
"How do you expect anything to get done if I'm not there?"
He kissed her jawline and then her cheek.
"Oh it'll get done. It's taken care of."
She looked at him. The sun was coming in the window and it shined on the two. It made their eyes even more blue, if that was possible.
"You need a break. Stay here with me, Scar."
He knew she couldn't say no.
"Okay."
They leaned in and kissed until Bella opened the door and walked over to the bed as she carried Tommy's pillow. She climbed on the bed and put herself right between them, making Scarlett scoot over.
"Well good morning." Scarlett said.
"Is this my pillow?" Tommy asked her.
She quickly turned from him and gripped the pillow.
"No!" She laughed.
He pulled the pillow and turned her around.
"I'm pretty sure it's mine." He said.
She hugged the pillow and gave him puppy dog eyes.
"Well...can I have it?" She asked sweetly.
He looked at Scarlett and then back at Bella.
"Yes, you can have it."
She smiled and set the pillow down beside Tommy.
"We can share it, daddy."
Tommy laid his head on the pillow and Bella laid right beside him. Scarlett's heart melted as she watched and Tommy noticed.
"What about mommy?" He asked.
"She can share it too."
Bella turned over and pulled Scarlett. She moved their way and put her head on the edge of the pillow. Bella wrapped her arm around Tommy's neck and put her head in his chest as he laid on his side. Scarlett smiled at the two. Nothing made her happier than seeing this. The two fell asleep and Scarlett smiled. She carefully got up and went to Myles' room. It was time for him to eat. He had been rejecting baby food lately, so Scarlett had to breastfeed way more than normal. She finished up and carried him into her room to see Bella sitting up and talking to Tommy. Scarlett sat on the bed and Tommy took Myles.
          "Bella would like to have a pool party with everyone." He said.
          "Is that so?" Scarlett asked.
          "Yes, mommy." Bella said as she crawled over and sat in her lap.
          "Well then that'll be the first thing we do when daddy gets better!"
Bella smiled.
          "Not the first thing we'll do." Tommy mumbled and then smirked at Scarlett.
Scarlett shot him a look and he laughed. The day went on and Bella was in her lesson as Tommy and Scarlett sat in their bed with Myles. They were trying to get him to say his first word and he was so close. Scarlett rested her head on Tommy's shoulder as he held Myles.
          "Da-da." Myles said.
Their eyes went wide and Scarlett shot up and looked at Tommy.
          "Did he?" She said excitedly.
          "Da-da." He said it again.
          "Oh my God! His first word!" She smiled.
Tommy smiled as he lifted Myles in the air.
          "He said his first word at seven months. Our baby is a genius." Tommy joked.
Scarlett could not stop smiling. Tommy looked at her.
          "You lost the bet....you know what that means." He smirked.
          "I don't care....did you hear his little voice!?"
He pulled her up beside him and she wrapped her arm around his chest. She kissed his cheek and then they looked at Myles.
          "You've been working with him and trying to get him to say that, haven't you?" Tommy asked.
          "I don't know what you're talking about."
He sat up and looked at her.
          "He was so close to saying ma-ma so many times. That was definitely going to be his first word."
She shrugged her shoulders and then gave it away from her smile. He shook his head and then kissed her.
          "You're an angel. A literal angel."
She smiled and then the day went on. It was night time and the kids were asleep. Scarlett and Tommy were out by the pool as they drank whiskey. She was standing beside his chair in a bikini as she handed him a refill.
          "That bruise hasn't healed. It looks like it's gotten worse, Scarlett."
She looked down and he was right. It did get worse and it spread.
          "Does it hurt?"
She shook her head. Tommy pressed on it and she jumped back from him because it did hurt. He raised his eyebrows at her.
          "I'm sure it's nothing. Bruises always get worse before they get better."
He downed his drink and then stood up to face her. He went to grab the bottle, but she stopped him.
          "Here, you can have mine."
She held out the glass and pulled it back as he went to grab it. As she kept eye contact, Scarlett acted like she was going to drink it and then she poured the shot of whiskey down her chest.
          "I'll pour you another one." She said.
          "I'll take that one."
He kissed her passionately and then kissed down her stomach and down her chest where the whiskey was. He got back to her lips and she backed away and smirked.
          "Scarlett." He whined.
She winked and then walked to the pool. As she got in, she untied her top and threw it. It landed in front of him and they made eye contact.
          "The bet was that if you win...I skinny dip while you watch." She said.
She slipped off her bottoms and set them on the concrete as she smirked at him. Tommy couldn't stand it. He bit his lip as he looked at her.
          "I'm done watching." He said and then got in the pool.
He moved closer to her naked body and she backed away.
          "No physical activities for two weeks." She said.
          "So you're doing all of this just to tease me?"
She nodded as she continued to back away from him.
          "That's not a nice thing to do to your husband."
          "Well then I guess you'll have to punish me in two weeks." She smirked.
She took another step back and hit the pool wall. Tommy was right against her. He had his hands on the concrete behind her as they stood face to face.
          "How about I punish now and again in two weeks."
          "You can't." She said.
          "I can do whatever I want. You're mine. My property."
Scarlett was losing this fight. She always did. Tommy was just too good at being bad. He could see it in her eyes and he loved it. Tommy slowly kissed her and pulled away, leaving Scarlett wanting more. She leaned in and he pulled back as he smirked. Tommy grabbed her throat and they made eye contact. He leaned in like he was going to kiss her and then stopped right in front of her lips. Tommy could see the frustration on her face and he loved it.
          "What's wrong, Scar? Can't finish what you started?" He asked.
She bit her lip as she looked at him.
          "Well I can." He said as he turned her around.
          "But Tommy."
          "I only need my hand."
He held her throat with one hand and then ran the other one down her body, slowly. He started and Scarlett's tense body, relaxed. She gripped the edge of the concrete as he continued. Scarlett moaned and Tommy went faster.
          "Tommy." She breathed.
She got louder as he kissed her neck.
          "Yes, Tommy." She moaned.
She was breathing hard and leaned on the side for support. He took his left hand off her throat and interlocked their fingers. She squeezed hard as she yelled his name and he smirked. Her whole body tensed up and she began to shake. Eventually she relaxed and he turned her around.
          "I think I should punish you more often." He whispered.
She smirked and then they kissed for a while. They made it upstairs to bed and cuddled up next to each other. Tommy was still trying to get handsy as Scarlett's back was against his chest. He was whispering things in her ear, making her laugh because she knew they couldn't right now. He ran his hand up her body and grabbed her breast like he normally would, but she quickly grabbed his wrist and winced.
          "Scarlett, what's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
          "No...I'm just sore from feeding Myles."
          "I thought he was eating more baby food?"
          "I don't know what happened. I've been feeding him four to five times a day. All he wants is to be breastfed now."
          "Hmm don't we all." He joked.
          "That's funny." She said sarcastically as she turned to face him.
He kissed her forehead and they fell asleep until Bella woke them up by her screaming. Tommy jumped up and Scarlett got up like it was routine. He looked at her as she put a slip dress on.
          "I'll get her." He said.
Scarlett looked at him and then Myles started crying right on cue. They walked out of their room and towards their kids.
          "How often has this been happening?" He asked.
          "Every night since the shooting." Scarlett said and then walked into Myles' room.
Tommy couldn't believe she had been dealing with all of this, this whole time. He got to Bella's room and she was sitting up, crying. He wiped her tears and then held her little face.
          "It's okay, Bella. I'm here. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I promise."
          "Can I sleep with you?" She cried.
Without hesitating, Tommy picked her up and grabbed his pillow. A few minutes later, Scarlett got Myles back to sleep and went back into her bedroom. Tommy was talking to Bella as Scarlett got back in bed. She rubbed Bella's face because it was her favorite and Tommy talked her down. They got her to fall asleep and then two had no trouble going back to sleep after.
