Scarlett's Marine

Chapter #27

Chapter #27

Louri’s POV
After seeing that video still being up on the internet had really done one on me. I didn’t want Devon to see that, I didn’t want to be the cause of his nightmares. Scarlett came quickly and was able to calm me down. She always knows how to get through to me, it’s what I love most about her. Her calming demeanor really is like a super power. Once I’m calm and collected we walk back into the trailer and I immediately walk over to Devon picking him up and hugging him tight. “Im so sorry little Marine, I didn’t mean to scare you and I’m sorry you had to see that video. But I promise you that it was a long time ago and Mommy, you and your sisters are safe. Nothing will ever happen to you guys, I will always protect you.” I tell him while rubbing his back. “Mama ok too?”he asks looking up at me? I smile big “yes mama is ok too because I have you and Louisa and Maya and your mommy and that’s all I could ever ask for.” I say fighting back tears.
Scarlett walks up to us and wraps her arms around the both of us “let’s go home, I talked to Kevin and he said we can wrap up for today” she says and walks over to the girls picking them up. I still keep Devon close to me as I want to make sure he has comfort but also because I need it as well.

Scarlett’s POV
I can’t believe that video has not been taken down and what’s even worse is that my 3 year old son watched it. I am currently carrying the girls out to Louri’s truck as she has the car seats, I only have the car seat for Devon in my car as I brought him to set with me today. I buckled the girls into the car seats and turn and look over to Louri swaying back and forth holding Devon. It breaks my heart that she had to relive that and thinks she has traumatized Devon. I don’t want to separate them now so I offer to take the truck and she can ride in my car with Devon. She nods her head and gives me a kiss while putting Devon into his car seat and closing the door taking a deep breath. “Are you going to be ok to drive babe?” I ask her putting my hand on her cheek that she easily leans into. “Yes I just needed a moment” she replies and gives my hand a slight squeeze before giving me another kiss and walking me over to the truck opening the driver door for me. I smile thankfully and climb in and she closes the door and walks over to my car getting in and starting the ride home.

Louri POV
As I am driving home I glance here and there into the rear view mirror checking on Devon. I notice that he is starting to doze off, I am hoping that he doesn’t have another nightmare, I just have to remember I can’t control it but to remember that I will be there for him to remind him everything will be ok and that Scarlett and I are always going to be there for him to comfort him and talk to him. We arrive home at the same time, I park Scarlett’s car in the garage as I pulled in first and wait for her to pull into the garage as well. Seeing her drive my truck makes her look so sexy. I smirk to myself and shake the thought out of my head and walk around the car and gently get Devon out of his car seat as he leans his head against my shoulder. I watch Scarlett get out of the truck and manages to get the girls out as well without any issues. She is definitely a superhero for being able to get both twins out with such ease. We walk inside and I lay Devon down on the couch as I walk over to Scarlett and help by taking Louisa and placing her down in the playpen as she put Maya down next to her. I hug Scarlett from behind and place my chin on her shoulder. “Do you think we can have a cuddle night with Devon in our bed? I don’t think I can sleep without him tonight knowing he’ll be alone” I whisper to her. She turns around in my arms and places her arms around my neck “of course we can baby, I think that is a great idea, I won’t turn down cuddles with my family, we can put the girls in their bassinets and place them next to our bed so they’re close by as well” she thinks aloud and I nod my head smiling at that thought. I lean down and kiss her softly, leaning my forehead against hers. “Thank you for calming me down earlier, I don’t know how you always do it but I’m so grateful to you” I say. “You don’t need to thank me baby, I will always be there for you no matter what as you are for the babies and I.” She says while rubbing her thumb against my cheek smiling up at me.

Nobody’s POV
Louri picks up Devon from the couch and carries him into his room to change him into his pjs and carries him into their bedroom laying him in the middle of the bed and covering him in the comforter and walking into the twins room to grab their bassinets to bring into their room placing one on each side of the bed. Scarlett walks in with the girls handing Maya to Louri and lays Louisa in the bassinet on her side of the bed, “Goodnight my sweet girl” she says. Louri lays Maya down, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. Both walk into their walk in closet changing into comfy clothes, Scarlett stealing on of Louri’s hoodies making Louri smirk and they both walk back into the room getting under the covers, cuddling up to Devon. “Goodnight my little Marine, Goodnight Scarlett” Louri whispers. “Goodnight Devon, Goodnight Louri” she replies and they soon fall asleep holding each other close.
