ALWAYS BEEN THERE: A Lloyd Hansen Story

chapter twenty-four

I woke up to Lloyd's leg and head on me. I smiled and leaned down to kiss his head.

The fluffy comforter was wrapped around us. I closed my eyes again, until I heard baby footsteps. I groaned and leaned over, seeing Max.

I picked him up and set him on my stomach. He laid down immediately, snuggling into lloyd as I closed my eyes again.

A gentle breeze was flowing in. The room smelled like vanilla and saltwater. I could die happy.

Lloyd somehow stayed asleep the entire time. I stared up at the ceiling.

I took a deep breath, smiling to myself.

I couldn't explain the peace that I felt in my bones. Through my soul.

Max was falling back asleep on me. I looked at Lloyd as his face was pressed up against me. He was so at peace. I think he looked even calmer here.

Lloyd shifted a bit. I watched as the cloth curtains moved with the breeze. This was home.

I was missing the states until this moment. This moment I knew I was where I was supposed to be.

I became one like the salt in the sea.

I felt Lloyd move. I looked over, seeing him smiling as he watched me. I looked back, blushing. He kissed my cheek.

"Hi max." He whispered. Max lifted his head and smiled. I smiled with him.

Somehow the silence between everyone was so calming. I turned to rest my head on Lloyd's shoulder as he held max on his own chest.

I could feel the rush of my blood. The way my cheeks moved when I smiled. Lloyd's fingers brushing along my skin.

I am happy.

Lloyd kissed my forehead before looking away. I smiled and leaned into him.

"You feel okay?" Lloyd whispered. I nodded.

"More than that."

He nodded. Max was messing with the comforter, trying to get under it.

"Are you chilly?" I asked. He nodded. I pulled it up onto him. Lloyd smirked.

He smiled and got out of bed, going to the bathroom. I hugged max close.

"Brrrr." He said. I smiled.

"Brrr." I whispered. He got up on my lap and smiled. I scrunched my nose at him.

Lloyd came back in and laid down. Max gave him a nose scrunch. He laughed.

"You're so cute Maxie." Lloyd said as he hugged him close. I hummed and pulled the blankets up again.

This is the life.

•••

I sat on Lloyd's lap while making out with him. He was smiling in the kiss, so I pulled away.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded.

"I've never not been sure with you. I married you didn't I?"

"I'm still forever gonna ask." He said.

I smirked and kissed him again. His hands rested on my waist as I started to grind on him.

"You can't do that." He whispered.

"Like hell I can't." I said. He smirked and lifted my sweatshirt off. He knew I had no bra on.

"Hey I umm...I have to tell you something later." He said. I gave him a look.

"Just tell me now." I whispered.
