Forever my Marine

Chapter #8

Chapter #8
Louri’s POV
“So how was the honeymoon?” Shanna asks. “It was perfect.” I tell her giving Scarlett a smile. “Did you enjoy your gift?” Bri asks and Scarlett and I go bright red. “HA I take that as a yes.” Bri laughs. “Please there are little ears around.” Scarlett lightly scolds. “Where are my nieces?” Shanna asks. “Upstairs taking a nap.” Scarlett informs her. “You make adorable kids.” Bri says. “I think so.” I smile. “They have the mouth of a Marine but adorable nonetheless.” Shanna says. “I’m a little Marine.” Devon says  happily. “Yep you are my little Marine.” I say ruffling his hair. “Mama! Don’t do that.” He shrieks. “Sorry.” I tell him. “I need caffeine.” I say letting go of Scarlett and head to the fridge. “Oh fucks sake.” I exclaim when I see that I am out of energy drinks. “What’s wrong?” Scarlett asks. “I’m out of energy drinks.” I groan. “They are in the cabinet where your little Marine can’t get to them. Because apparently he tried to drink Robbie’s.” Scarlett says. “Yeah no he’s heart will explode if he drinks them he’s too small.” I tell her. “And you drink them, why?” Shanna asks. “I need caffeine.” I tell her. “I got her to stop drinking them first thing in the morning.” Scarlett says. “By tackling me.” I chuckle. “Onto the couch I didn’t tackle her to the ground.” She tells Shanna when Shanna gives her the protective older sister stare. “Please don’t scare my wife.” I tell her. “Sorry.” She says. “Oh I hear little feet approaching.” Bri says. “Hungwy.” Louisa announces when she enters the kitchen. “Hey sweetie.” I say going and picking her up. “Did you have a good nap?” I ask and she nods, rubbing her eyes. “Is your sister still asleep?” I ask, getting another nod. “Look who’s here.” Scarlett says pointing to Bri and Shanna. “Hi.” She says before burying her face into my shoulder. “Sweetie it’s ok that’s your Auntie’s remember.” I tell her as I rub her back she’s always been shy even around family. “Well dinner should be ready in about fifteen minutes.” Scarlett says checking the pressure cooker. “Oh what are you making it smells amazing?” Shanna asks. “Creole pasta.” Scarlett tells her. “That sounds amazing.” Bri says. “Oh it is.” I say. “I hear more little feet approaching.” I say when I hear Maya come down the stairs and into the kitchen. “Auntie Bri!” She squeals and runs to Bri. “Hey Maya.” Bri says scooping her up. “I wove you.” Maya says, squeezing Bri’s neck. “I love you too.” She says easily. “Don’t be loud it scares Wouisa.” Maya tells Bri. “Ok I won’t be loud. You are getting better with talking.” Bri comments. “Twank you.” Maya smiles. “Louri will you and Devon please set the table.” Scarlett says. “Yep. No problem.” I tell her and I have Devon get the silverware and I get plates and cups. “Ok Louisa I am going to set you down in your chair.” I tell her and she clings to me like her life depends on it. “Ok sweetie what’s wrong?” I ask her. “I want Mama.” She says clinging to me I don’t have the energy to fight her on this so I’ll just hold onto her. “Ok you can stay with me.” I tell her. “Louri, is she ok?” Shanna asks concerned. “Just doesn’t want to leave Mama.” I tell her and she nods. “Is it because we are here?” She asks. “No, I think it’s from being away  from us for nearly a month.” I tell her. “That makes sense. You were a very clingy baby too when you were little.” She tells me. “Huh that must be where they get it.” I say. “Yeah probably. Why did you two come back early if you don’t mind me asking?” She asks. “Ugh two of my men got into a bar fight.” I tell her. “That explains why you are in uniform.” Bri says. “And Scarlett likes the uniform.” I smirk. “Snitch.” Scarlett calls out, making me laugh. “Scarlett, don't look at my sister like that.” Shanna says when Scarlett comes in looking at my ass. “She can look at me anyway she wants. We are married.” I say showing my ring. “Yeah like Beyonce said if you like it put a ring on it so we did.” Scarlett smiles. “Just please don’t look at her like a meal when I’m around.” Shanna says. “I wasn't, I was admiring her amazing. Wait, can't say that around the kids.” Scarlett says. “Ew.” Shanna whines. “Why are you upset with how Scarlett looks at Louri when Bri looks at you like a piece of meat.” Chris says from the doorway of the dining room. “When did you get here?” I ask spinning around. “About five minutes ago. Scarlett said she was making cookies.” He shrugs. “What did I marry?” Scarlett laughs. “A family of sugar junkies.” Bri says. “It’s been six years honey, you should know this.” I joke. “Best six years.” She smiles. “Why are you two so disgustingly cute?” Chris says. “I’m not cute I fucking adorable.” I tell him. “Yeah what she said.” Scarlett says as she goes and gets a plate for Chris. “Uncle Cwrissy.” Louisa says, taking her head from my shoulder. “Hey printcess how are you?” He smiles. “Good.” She says. “Would you like to sit with me?” He asks and she nods and I hand her over. “Why don’t I get that reaction?” Shanna asks. “Because you aren’t here almost everyday. She is more used to him than she is to you.” Scarlett explains as she sets Chris’s plate down and then sits in her chair. “I guess I need to visit more often.” She says. “The kids would love that.” Scarlett says. “What about you sis?” She asks. “Honey Scarlett said the kids would love that I’m pretty sure she was adding Louri in that.” Bri jokes. “Hey true but hey.” I whine. “You can be a giant child at times.” Chris nods. “And you aren’t any better.” I tell him. “That is a very true statement.” He laughs. “Why is your ringtone the M*A*S*H theme song?” Shanna asks when my phone rings. “Because I’m a medic and Scarlett changed it years ago as a joke.” I shrug as I send the call to voicemail. “That was a fun day, she was so confused.” Scarlett smiles. “I need to know this story.” Shanna says. “Ok so I hid Louri’s phone in the trailer then I kept calling it and she was so confused. Everytime she asked if I heard it I just said hear what. It was hilarious.” Scarlett laughs. “It was a little funny.” I chuckle. “That was on the Avengers set wasn’t it?” Chris asks. “It was. It was a few days before we got together.” Scarlett nods. “I still remember every detail of that day. The one when we got together.” I say. “Of course you do. You hopeless romantic.” Chris laughs.
