New Beginnings

Family Sleepover

A bit of a longer chapter to make up for the shorter ones lately. Enjoy!

Warnings: Basically all fluff, kissing, etc.

It's been a couple weeks since Ally and I told our kids officially of our relationship. This couldn't be going better. We've been able to see each other a lot more since we no longer have to make up excuses with our kids to go out and see each other. We also have been having more playdates and our families are blending seemingly effortlessly.

We decided tonight that we would have a big family sleepover. The boys have been asking for a while so we figured they can have some time with Ally and I and then at night Ally's gonna come into my room and the boys will be all together.

It's Friday and I'm just returning home with some snacks for tonight. The boys and I get inside and I go over to the kitchen to clean up a bit while they clean their rooms and the toy room upstairs. After a few minutes the doorbell rings and I walk over to let Ally and Oz in. When I open the door, Oz greets me with his usual hug "hi buddy, how are you?" Oz looks up to me "I'm great! Thank you for letting us stay the night!" I hug him tighter "of course, you guys know you're always welcome." I break from the hug "the boys are upstairs if you wanna go up now." Oz nods and bolts to the stairs. Ally and I both say in unison "don't run!" Oz slows his pace and Ally and I both laugh.

I go over to Ally and grab one of the duffle bags she has for tonight and give her a kiss. "Hi sweetheart." I smile against her lips "hey Ally." I break from the kiss and interlock her hand in mine, leading her into the house. We go upstairs quickly to check on the boys who are playing with some action figures in the playroom. We drop Oz's bag off in Gabriels room and Ally's bag goes in my room. We head downstairs, leaving the boys to play.

Ally and I sit at the kitchen island with two glasses of wine. We just talk about our week while her hand rests upon mine on the counter. We chat for a while until we're interrupted by the boys wanting to play Mario Kart. Not to brag but I'm kinda the best at it. But I haven't told Ally that.

We walked over to set up the console and all sit in the living room. Ally and I take the loveseat and Oz and Gabriel decide they would rather sit on the floor in front of the tv rather than take the other couch. As I get the game ready I hand everyone their remotes, Bellamy doesn't play, he always insists on watching which is kinda perfect as we can only have four players anyway. Bell sits on my lap to get comfortable while watching.

As the first race starts Ally says "you're going down Y/N, I'm kinda the best at Mario Kart." Instantly we can hear Gabriels laugh from across the room and I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing too. Ally and Oz have a confused look on their face until Gabriel continues "Ms. Ally my mom is the best at Mario Kart." Ally raises a brow and looks over to me "oh, yeah?" I shrug my shoulders "I don't know. I'm not bad but lets see. Someone had a lot of confidence a minute ago." I smirk and Ally bites her lip.

On lap 3 of the race I'm leading in first place. I can hear Ally grunting under her breath and I try to stifle my laughs. I won the first race... And the next 3. I try not to rub salt in the wound but Oz does anyway "wow mom, Y/N really is the best." Ally rolls her eyes and I lean in to give her a quick kiss on the lips, I feel her smile into our quick kiss.

"Alright I'm gonna get some snacks, we can watch a movie and then head upstairs later." The boys all look excited and go out to pick a movie. They chose Monsters Inc on Disney and settled on the big couch together, leaving Ally and I on the loveseat again. I got blankets for everyone and we watched the movie. During the movie Ally lied down on the couch and I sat between her legs, and she wrapped her arms around my waist under the blanket. I felt very calm being able to feel her chest rise and fall beneath me. I drifted off into a half asleep state while the movie played. One of Ally's hands remained wrapped around me and the other played with my hair.
