You're Mine

chapter 66

Friday, 5th November:

"Hi, what are you doing?", Owen asked his fiancé as he walked into the house and found her in the kitchen with Eleanor. He had been working until half an hour ago, meaning the kids were already in bed, although it was the weekend. "Hey, Miss Ella!", he grinned at the dog, who was happily greeting him before he kissed the brunette. "Did the children go to bed okay?"

"Hey, babe.", Amelia beamed at him. "Here, have a plate of gnocchi.", she said, handing him his dinner. Then, she went back to topping some pizza which he didn't get since they had obviously had gnocchi today. "They did."

"Thanks, honey!", the redhead smiled gratefully. "What are you making? Are you that hungry?", he wondered, noticing how crazily excited their husky seemed to be today. "Oh God, why are you adding fish to your pizza?", he cringed.

"I am making a dog friendly pizza for Ellie.", the neurosurgeon shared as she put it into the oven. I promised her a special treat today and obviously she won't get to have all of it, but she can have a piece and the rest tomorrow and the day after. I gave her only a bit of dinner, so she wouldn't starve."

"Oh, wow!", her fiancé said to the puppy that hopped on the chair next to him. "Your mama is an angel, isn't she? Yes, she is.", he told her. "Dinner tastes amazing, Ames!", he informed her.

"Thank you.", the brunette proudly grinned at him before she took a seat across from the trauma surgeon. "I thought about our wedding, and I really don't want to get married in winter. I want us to get married on a beautiful day with sun when it's warm."

"So, you wanna wait until summer?", Owen questioned, a little shocked since that was over half a year away. "I thought we would have our wedding soonish.", he admitted, sounding somewhat sad.

"Me too, but it's cold and disgusting outside. We don't have to wait until it's summer-summer but maybe April or May? Can we do that?", Amelia begged, giving him her best puppy dog eyes, which she had learned from Eleanor.

"Fine. I could never say no to you when you make such a face and I hate that you know that.", her counterpart chuckled. "I love you!", he said and just stared at her, absolutely in love. "I think the pizza is ready."

"Oh, great! Now it only has to get cold and then you can try a piece, little baby.", the neurosurgeon informed the excited husky. "You like it?", she asked a few minutes later when El was eating some of her pizza.

"Woof!", the dog responded, her tail waggling. If she had been allowed to make the decision, she would have had the whole thing. "Woof!", she started scolding her owners when she didn't get any more.

"Stop, sweetie!", the brunette ordered. "The children are sleeping and even if they are upstairs, I'd like it to stay that way. You got a special treat and that's all. Now let's go outside one more time today and then you need to go to sleep."

"So, are you planning on coming back to work anytime soon?", the trauma surgeon wanted to know curiously. "Not to pressure you, just...I never expected you to be satisfied and happy with being...a housewife."

"I don't know. I mean, I miss cutting and doing surgeries, but I also like to stay home with Leo and to pick up the kids and spending the afternoons with them. Also, I don't want to get triggered like that ever again.", his fiancé explained and shrugged.

"That's fine, I just...I wanted to ask.", the redhead shrugged. "I can go outside with her and then clean the kitchen. You can take a bath and get some time to relax.", he offered softly and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you, Owen.", the neurosurgeon gratefully smiled at him before she walked upstairs to actually take that bath. Today she was the one to be tense. And maybe her fiancé would choose to join her once he was done.

"Is there room for one more?", Owen sweetly wondered, peeking into the ensuite to find her resting in the tub with closed eyes. She turned her head to face him, smiled and nodded. "Nice.", he winked at her, making her chuckle.

"Can you give me a sexy massage today, please?", Amelia requested once he had positioned himself behind her, kissing her neck after pushing her hair over her left shoulder. "I am not the youngest anymore either.", she realized.

"Of course, grandma.", the trauma surgeon made fun of her, resulting in his fiancé hitting his arm as she shook her head. "What?", he laughed, not aware at all of what he was supposed to have done.

"When did you become so naughty towards me?!", the brunette questioned amused and started moaning when he began to massage her shoulders and neck. "Is Ellie sleeping?", she asked.

"This is just my flirting technique to get you to be into me as much as I am into you.", her fiancé joked, his lips finding her neck again. "At least she laid down.", he answered, not sure if the puppy was actually already sleeping.

"No worries Romeo, nobody could ever be as madly in love with you as I am.", the neurosurgeon admitted and leaned back against his chest as soon as he had finished the massage.
