Scarlett's Marine

Chapter #67

#67
Louri’s POV
“Colonel, are you ok?” Mildred asks as we are on a video call. “Yeah it’s just something Devon said earlier.” I tell him. “What word did you teach him now?” She says it’s only her and Sherman on the call. “I actually didn't, he overheard Scarlett. Let me just tell you what happened. So Liz and Robbie are over and Gizmo here jumped into my lap and Robbie said “Oh hello. How are you?” and Devon said he said “That’s Mama’s pussy.” I say and they burst out laughing. “What was the purpose of this call? Not that we don’t like hearing from you but you said it was urgent.” Sherman asks. “Scarlett and I are getting married.” I say. “You already are.” He says. “No she means they are having the wedding Sherman!” Mildred cheers. “What? That’s awesome!” He says. “Yeah it is and I was wondering if you’d give me away you are my Dad after all.” I say nervously and she tears up. “I would love to.” He says. “Dad, don't cry please.” I say trying not to tear up myself. “Our daughter is finally having a wedding!” Mildred cheers running around in the background. (A/N I completely forgot that the Potters adopted Louri in a previous chapter) “We are coming over. Sherman get in the car.” Mildred says with her purse in hand. “I’m in my pj’s.” He says. “It’s your daughter, not the president.” She says. “See you in fifteen Dear.” Mildred says and hangs up. Scarlett and I called her parents first thing this morning and I called Ma right after we got off the phone with Karsten. I walk out of the office with Gizmo on my shoulder. “Aww that’s cute.” Liz says.  “How dare you call me cute.” I joke. “What did he say?” Scarlett asks and Liz and Robbie look at her confused. “They will be here in fifteen minutes.” I smile. “Who?” Devon asks. “Grandpa Sherman and Grandma Mildred.” I tell him. “YAY! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WORD!!” He cheers. “What about me and Mommy?” I ask. “You aren’t people, you are my moms, there's a difference.” He is completely serious. “Seems we are going to have a full house.” Scarlett says with a smile she loves having people over. “Yeah we will. Liz, when are your sisters coming?” I ask. “Around 11.” Liz says. “Ok so an hour.” I say. “Yep.” She says. “And how are my twins this morning?” I ask, kneeling down to them. I was in my office when they woke up. “Good.” Maya says. “And you?” I ask Louisa. “Goob.” She says. “Glad to hear it.” I say giving them each a kiss on the head. The door bell rings. “Can I get it?” Devon asks. “Yes only because I said it’s ok.” I tell him. “There’s my little man.” Dad’s voice says. “Oh I’m so excited!” Mildred says, engulfing me in a hug. “Can I help with the planning?” She asks. “Talk to Scarlett, she's in charge of that. I can plan a military mission but other than that I can’t plan anything.” I say. “Just like your Dad.” She laughs pointing to him as he is playing with Devon. “Do I not get a hug?” I say seeing that he is in fact in pj’s. “And there’s my favorite Marine.” He says, making me smile. “I think I have some of Chris’s clothes upstairs if you want to borrow them.” I tell him. “Yes please.” He says no problem come with me.” I say and I lead him up to the room Chris uses when he stays over. “Hear these should fit.” I tell him. “I will leave you to get changed and see you downstairs.” I tell him before heading back downstairs. “Where were you two?” Mildred asks. “Well I offered Dad some of Chris’s clothes because someone was too excited to let him change out  of his pj’s.” I say. “Can you blame me? It's been six years.” She says. “Not yet. But close.” I say. “Our anniversary is three months away and we want to do the wedding then.” Scarlett says. “So what venues are you looking at?” Mildred asks. “None we are just doing a small wedding with family and friends and the 4077th of course in the backyard since there is more than enough room.” Scarlett says. “Oh that’s a cute idea, I like it.” Mildred says. “THE BEST OLSENS ARE HERE!” MK and Ashley shout, making me jump and drop my coffee. “Sorry just a little startled, that's all Scarlett can you hand me a cloth?” I say trying to pretend that my PTSD wasn’t triggered this morning by Liz’s comment. I don't want her to feel bad. “Babe I’ve got this. Your hands are shaking.” Scarlett whispers as she helps me clean up. “Honey I’m ok.” I lie. “And I’m not a famous actress.” She says. “I don’t want to talk about it, just drop it.” I say. “Where’s  Scarlett and Louri? We need Scarlett so we can take her measurements.” MK says. “Wow you look just like my Auntie.” Devon says and his voice makes me relax. “Ok but can we talk later?” She asks. “Yes.” I tell her and we stand up. “God damn I forgot what a great ass Louri has.” Ashley says and I chuckle and Scarlett glares at her then wraps her arms around me one on my ass. “MINE!” She growls, possessively. “I know but can’t I at least look?” Ashley jokes. “If you want Scarlett to kill you.” Lizzie says and Scarlett nods in agreement with Lizzie’s comment. Scarlett slaps my ass before letting go and when she turns around I do the same to her. “Now Scarlett we have some designs that we drew up last night when Liz told us what do you like?” MK says pulling out the portfolio. “The third one is perfect. But you are letting me pay you right?” Scarlett says. “Absolutely not.” Ashley says and MK nods. “But this is such a gorgeous dress. I have to pay you something. It's a Row original. Please let me pay.” Scarlett says. “Can I see?” I ask. “NO!” Scarlett, Liz, Mildred, MK, and Ashley all say at once. “Ok geez.” I say backing off. “It’s tradition. You can’t see the dress till the wedding.” Liz says. “But she's seen me in my dress blues countless times.” I say. “That’s different. Now shoo.” Liz says kicking me and Robbie out of the kitchen. “Liz didn’t let me see her dress either.” Robbie says. “Ok well whatever she wears I know she’ll be gorgeous.” I say. “What if she wore a trash bag?” Robbie asks. “She’d still be gorgeous.
Scarlett’s POV
“Wait  guys shh.” Ashley says. “What?” Liz whispers. “Just listen.” Ashley shushes. “Robbie, I don't care if she came riding in a dumpster with trash. She’s still gorgeous.” Louri says to Robbie. “What I’m saying is that in my eyes she is flawless. I mean the women is a fucking goddess.” Louri continues. “Where do I find one?” MK jokes. “She’s one of a kind.” I say. “So are we going to continue talking as if we don’t know that the five women in the kitchen aren’t listening?” Robbie says, looking at us. “They were listening? Ah fuck now they know I have a soft side.” Louri groans. “Fuck!” Devon yells. “Scarlett, if I let you sit on my face will you not kill me for what he said.” Louri says. “I’m not upset about what he said but if you're offering.” I smirk. “No you two rabbits, we have a wedding to plan.” Liz says pushing Louri away. “You are mean.” I tell Liz. “Yeah whatever you can sit on Louri’s face later.” Liz says. “Oh I will.” I smile. “You two are nasty and need help.” Liz says. “Liz I assure you Louri doesn’t need any help in the bedroom.” I decide to mess with her more and Louri catches on to what I’m doing and goes with it. “Neither does Scarlett do you Baby.” She says, wrapping her arm around my waist. “It’s a good thing Sherman took Devon outside to play.” Mildred says. “Did you mean what you said?” I ask Louri. “About you still being gorgeous if you came riding in a dumpster covered in trash?” She asks and I nod. “I meant every word, Baby.” She says kissing my cheek. “I want one.” MK says. “Want one of what?” Louri asks. “I need someone like you.” She says. “I’m sure you’ll find someone.” Louri says. “I mean Robbie sees Liz the same way I see Scarlett.” Louri says. “SNITCH!” Robbie calls out jokingly. “I don’t think anyone can see someone the way you see Scarlett.” Ashley says. “How did I get so lucky to have my Marine?” I ask. “Trust me Baby I’m the lucky one.” Louri smiles at me and it’s a smile she only gives me. “SEE right there the way Louri smiled at Scarlett.” MK says. “What? I just smiled.” Louri says confused. “Babe, you only give me that smile.” I tell her. “I do?” She asks. “Yeah and you have a smile that only the kids cause too.” I tell her. “Huh I didn’t realize that.” Louri says. “You didn’t?” I ask. “No I didn’t.” She says. “I’m so single.” Ashley whines.

A/N
I love when Devon copies Louri. Anygays see you in the next one.
