Scarlett's Marine

Chapter #60

Chapter #60
Scarlett’s POV
Adam and I are in the middle of filming an intense argument scene and it feels real I know it’s scripted but I’m scared I’ve backed myself into a corner I can’t get the words to tell them I’m not acting I’m terrified but Adam keeps going thinking I’m improvising and next thing I know a camo blur tackles him and arms wrap around my leg. I look down to see a scared Devon clinging to me that the blur was Louri.

Louri’s POV
They let us on set just fine. I see they are filming an argument but something is off. Scarlett isn’t acting she is terrified I see her back up in a corner she’s such a good actress that they must think she’s improvising but I know my wife and she’s not acting. “Mama he’s scary.” Devon whimpers. “Can you please hold the stroller?” I ask Noah and he nods. “Devon stay here.” I tell him but I know he wants his Mommy. I run and tackle Adam Driver and pin him down. “CAN’T YOU SEE SHE ISN’T ACTING ANYMORE SHE’S TERRIFIED YOU ASSHOLE!” I scream and get head butted in the face and Adam being a big man is able to flip me onto my back. “MAMA!” “LOURI!” Devon and Scarlett scream at the same time I don’t fight back because I’m not going to fight someone in front of my kids unless I have too. “You know this lunatic?” Adam asks Scarlett who is clutching onto Devon who is now trying to get to me. “That’s my wife! And she was just trying to protect me because she was right I wasn’t acting when I started backing away from you I was terrified!” Scarlett yells pushing him off me. “Surprise.” I breathe out as she cups my face with one hand the other arm firmly around Devon. “There are other ways to surprise me.” She chuckles as she subtly checks for any injuries. “I know you Baby and I saw how scared you were. And I had to do something.” I say getting up. “Now I believe you said you wanted to hold your babies again. You’ve got one there let me get the other two.” I tell her and she smiles giving me a quick kiss. “Ok everyone let’s wrap up for the day.” Noah calls out as Scarlett picks up Devon and I get the stroller with the girls and we head to her trailer. “How long do I have you guys?” Scarlett asks. “We have a week.” I tell her. We get to the trailer and Scarlett sits on the couch with Devon securely in her arms and then opens them up so I can put the twins on either side of her. “I’ve missed my babies.” Scarlett says kissing each of them on the head. “And my Marine.” She says, smiling up at me I lean down and kiss her. “Mama, your tags are on my head.” Devon complains. “Sorry little Marine.” I say putting my tags under my shirt. “Let’s go home.” I say. “I have to get changed then we can go.” Scarlett says, reluctantly letting go of the kids so she can get up. “I took an Uber here since I know you have my truck.” I say. “The driver's side smells like your body spray.” Scarlett defends as she walks out of the bedroom of the trailer in my nice USMC sweats that I have given up on trying to get her to stop taking. “Ok what ever I put the car seats in it before we came on set.” I tell her. “That means we can just strap in the kids and go home.” She says picking up the twins and putting them in their stroller. She then takes Devon’s hand in one hand and pushes the stroller in the other. “Why didn’t you tell me last night when I was crying about wanting to hold my babies that you were coming?” Scarlett asks. “I wanted to, but I also wanted to surprise you and it broke my heart hearing you cry. I know I’ve done the same on deployments crying to you on how much I wanted to hold you or Devon. So I know just how hard it is to be half way across the world from your kids and that’s why I couldn’t tell you because I knew that surprising you would make seeing them sooner than you thought you would so much better.” I explain. “Thank you. For the surprise and coming to my defense I just couldn’t get the words out for them to cut. I was terrified.” Scarlett says. “I will always defend you. You know that.” I tell her. “I know and I will never take it for granted.” She says. “Let’s get them inside.” I say pointing to the three sleeping kids in the backseat. “I’ll get the twins you get Devon.” I say and she nods and we walk in and instead of taking Devon to his room she takes him straight to ours I guess the kids are sleeping in bed with us. I was hoping to get her alone but I understand why she wants them close. I mean she was literally crying about how much she wanted to hold them again yesterday. She lays Devon in the middle and tells me to put the twins on each side of him and then after we have a pg shower and get dressed in comfortable clothes we get on our sides of the bed and roll over so we can face each other and hold on to each other with the kids in the middle like a family hug and fall asleep.

Scarlett’s POV
I wake up to my phone ringing and it’s Lizzie.
“Why are you calling me at four in the morning Liz?”
“Yeah sorry for the time but I just heard about a marine attacking your co-star and we both know there is only one Marine crazy enough for you to do that. So does that mean Louri and the kids are home?” Liz asks. “Only for a week.” I say before Maya begins to wake up. “Look Liz, I've got to go. I’ll talk to you later.” I tell her and hang up. “Hey sweetie, it’s ok, come with me.” I whisper as I pick Maya up and take her to the twins room where the changing table and rocking chairs are. “You know I really missed you guys so much.” I tell her. After I get  her changed I pick her back up and hold her close as I sit in one of the rockers and rock her back to sleep.

Louri’s POV
“Yes I will make chocolate chip pancakes just let’s let Mama sleep.” I hear Scarlett say to Devon and I can’t help but smile. “Or not. I saw that Marine.” Scarlett laughs calling me out. “Good morning, beautiful.” I say to her, making her blush. “You are on twin duty Devon and I are going to make pancakes.” Scarlett says giving me a kiss. “With chocolate chips.” Devon says but our cute family moment is cut short when Liz bursts through the bedroom door you think she would know by now not to do that she’s caught Scarlett and I enough times. “MY FAVORITE DEVON!!” She cheers picking up Devon and swinging him around. “You know that’s our kid right?” Scarlett jokes. “Oh in that case you won’t mind if I take him for the day if he’s ‘our’ kid.” Liz laughs. “Yeah no she meant OUR kid.” I say pointing between Scarlett and I. “What’s wrong with me taking him for a day?” Liz asks. “Because Liz I only have them for a week before they have to go back and I would like to spend as much time with them as I can.” Scarlett tells her. “Wow you sound like Louri when she would get leave to come home. But I get it, can I at least hang out with you guys?” Liz asks and Scarlett looks at me and I nod it’s her decision. “Sure you can help us make breakfast. We are having chocolate chip pancakes.” Scarlett says. “With whipped cream.” Devon adds. “We never agreed on that but I guess we can make that work.” I say. “You just can’t say no.” Scarlett says to me. “Nope.” I laugh as Louisa rolls into my lap. “You are a mini version of your mother.” I say as she clings onto my leg like a tiny koala. “And Maya is a mini you.” Liz points to me. “Yes she is. Now everyone to the kitchen.” I say picking Louisa up and she wraps her little arms around my neck. Scarlett still has Maya in her arms and Liz is holding Devon’s hand. “Liz, I have a question.” I say. “I checked the kids rooms first and they weren’t in there so I knew that meant they were with you guys so I wouldn’t have walked in on you two.” She says. “Scarlet witch!” I say playfully and run into the kitchen. “Your wife is a strange woman.” Liz says. “I prefer to call her weird.” Scarlett says. “And I wear both as badges of honor.” I smile. “Speaking of wearing things, the twins are still wanting you to model for them, Lor.” Liz says. “Alexa play ‘No’ by Megan Trainor. That’s the answer Liz.” I say and the music starts playing. “You are dramatic.” Lizzie says. “Well thank you I try.” I say with a laugh.
