Forever my Marine

Chapter #51

Chapter #51
Louri’s POV
After watching the sunrise, we decided to head back inside and make breakfast. As we walk in I see that Ma has already made crepes with fruit cut up, whipped cream and bacon. “Wow Ma, you didn’t have to make all this.” I say to her, “I know but I wanted to do something special for breakfast,” she tells me, making me smile and walking over to her and giving her a hug. "Thank you Ma, you’re the best,” I whisper to her, making her smile and give me a quick squeeze. Scarlett comes downstairs with the kids in tow, I didn’t even realize she had gone upstairs. “Thank you for making this delicious looking breakfast Lisa,” she says. “Of course, anything for my babies,” Ma says, smiling. “Hawpy Mowthers Day Mama,” Louisa says. “Thank you sweetie,” I say, giving her a kiss on her head. Maya comes over and hugs my legs, “From me too,” she says, making me laugh. “Thank you honey,” I say, hugging her back. We sit and eat breakfast together, Devon giggles as he has whipped cream on his mouth saying he looks like Grandpa Sherman, making me laugh and taking a picture of him to send to him. Once we finish eating we decide to go into the living room and watch Sing 2 much to Scarlett’s dismay. But she loved it anyway as the kids were singing along and dancing in front of us. Once the movie ended we decided to go to the park with the kids so we got changed and I packed a small cooler with water and juices and fruit snacks and put it by the front door. Devon came downstairs wearing jeans and a shirt that read Mama’s Little Marine. “Where did you get that shirt?” I asked him. “Mommy had it made for me, do you like it?” He asks. “I love it,” I say to him, giving him a big hug. Moments later Scarlett walks down with the girls and they’re in matching purple shirts that say double trouble, making me laugh. I took a picture of the three of them together. Scarlett is wearing a USMC wife shirt and smiling at me. “You look beautiful,” I say to her, giving her a kiss. “Yuck,” the kids say, making us laugh. “Thank you baby,” she says. “Ma are you joining us to go to the park?” I ask. “No sweetie, you guys go and enjoy. I'm going to relax here and maybe take a nap,” she says, making me nod. I turn around and grab the cooler and Louisa’s hand and we head outside and start walking to the park. Luckily in our neighborhood we live in a gated community so we know who lives in the area and don’t need to worry about paparazzi. We arrive at the park and the kids run off to go play. Scarlett and I decide to sit on a bench and watch them play.

Scarlett’s POV
I intertwine my hand with Louri’s and press a kiss to her hand, making her look at me. “What was that for?” She asks. “Just to show you that I love you,” I say, making her smile widely. “I love you too Scarlett, so much,” she says, making me tear up. Damn these hormones. I lean my head on her shoulder and she rubs her thumb on my hand. This is what I love most, being able to relax and enjoy time with my family. Not having to worry about scripts, or filming or being away from my family or Louri being stationed in another country. This brings me much peace. I inhale deeply and exhale after a few seconds just taking it all in. “I can’t wait till Thomas is born,” Louri says randomly, making me look up at her. “Me either,” I tell her. “He's going to grow up with the best big siblings and also know that he has an amazing guardian Angel,” she says, smiling tearingly. I wipe the tears from her eyes and press a kiss to her cheek. “Yes he will and Devon will make sure to let him know all the great stories of Thomas and so will we,” I remind her, making her squeeze my hand gently. “Mama, Mommy! Look how high I can swing,” Devon says, making us look over to him. “That is very high,” Louri says. “Please be careful,” I say. “Thank you for making that shirt for him,” Louri says. “Of course, I thought it would be a cute little present for you,” I tell her. “I love it,” she says. We see the girls running around, giggling and going down the slides. A perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day.
