Not Your Average

Chapter 8

Shailene pov- I wake up at 5:30 to a pair of strong arms Wrapped around me. I almost jump . Its been so long since I have been held like this. I feel nothing but a thin sheet wrapped around me. Theo's bare chest is against my back. I smile at this. "Good morning love." Theo says. "Good morning handsome." I say giggling . He kisses me lightly. I am about to get up when he puts an hand on my back. "Stay Shai." "But honey this is my normal Routine." I say to him. He scrunches his eyebrows together. "Not today." He says.I lay back down he starts kissing my neck until we hear the doorbell ring. Theo pulls back. "Really." He says in his thick English accent. He rarely ever talks like that anymore . Most of the time he uses his American accent. I get up pulling the sheet off of me cool air strikes me. I pull on my nightgown and robe. I go downstairs to answer the door." hey Shailene." Its Josh. "Hello." I say. "Listen Shailene, I really like you and we got off to a bad start so could you please forgive me I would love for you to be my girlfriend." I really feel sorry for him but He needs to know I'm married. I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my stomach. "I'm sorry She's my wife." Says Theo. I love it when he calls me his wife."You will be mine Shailene." Josh says. Theo lunges at him. "Listen here buddy I don't want to hurt you but I will." Theo says. "Theo stop its okay." "No its not shai, Don't come near my family again understand me!?" Theo yells. I am barely keeping Theo contained he is shirtless with only Pajama bottoms on. "Whatever, I already know what she is like in bed." Josh says with a grin. Theo pushes Me aside and runs after Josh. Josh goes running through our yard. Theo Chases him.I go running after Theo. Theo is punching Josh over and over again in the Face. I manage to pull Theo off. Giving Josh enough time to run home. Because Theo could do more. I pull Theo into the house. I tell him to clean up and change while I start breakfast. I cook pancakes, Waffels, eggs, Bacon, Grits,Biscuits, and to top it off I made homemade orange Juice.I am setting the table."What's cooking good looking?" Theo says walking in. "Breakfast." He kisses my cheek. I grab him by his shirt Pulling him back to me. "I deserve more than that." I say. "Yes you do, but later love." I take my bottom lip between my teeth . "Okay." I say. Theo groans. "You're teasing me woman." "Too bad." "Daddy?" Says a light voice. I see a little hint of brown curls peeking form behind the wall. Its Cleo . She runs and jumps into her daddy's arms. He catches her and spins her around. "Cleo,  you've gotten so big." He says. Tears are in His eyes. She wraps her thin arms around his neck. "Don't cry daddy." "I know sweetie but you are growing up so fast." "Well daddy I will always be your little girl." Tears are forming in my eyes. She hops out of his arms and sits at the table. The twins come right at him. They tackle him I laugh at this. Then its Natalia. She looks at Theo. "Come here dear." He says. She shakes her head and walks over to the table.Theo frowns and drops his head. He feels hurt I can tell.He pulls a chair out for me. I take my seat. He sits down next to me. "Honey its me." He says to Natalia during breakfast. She frowns and sets down her fork. "If you're my real dad what's my full name.?" "Natalia Lynn Taptiklis." "Do you have a picture of me" she asks. "I sure do." He says. He pulls out a small picture out of his wallet. He hands it to her she smiles a little. It is a picture with Theo ,the kids and I . She gets up and walks over to Theo and wraps her arms around him."Awwwwww." The others go. I almost forgot Theo and I's family was here.Jane speaks up. "So have you tried out those new positions in bed I have been telling you about." I almost choke on my bacon. Theo almost choked on his orange Juice. "What are positions?" Natalia asks. Jason speaks up . "Oh you know like wrestling." "Yeah like the tombstone pile driver , chokeslam, Snake eyes," Jack says. Natalia scrunches her eyebrows together and shrugs her shoulders. "Okay." I sigh in relieve. Cleo speaks up. "So how are babies made?"  "God goes Ta da, and you are here." Theo says. "I don't believe that." She says crossing her arms. Jane clears her throat" when a mommy and daddy really love each other-" "We get it." Theo says."so basically our parents wrestle?." Seth asks. Its very quiet at first. "Yeah basically." Samuel says. "I want another grandchild." Jane complains. "Tell Marcy that." Theo says looking over at Marcy. Marcy shoots him a death glare. "Shut up!" She yells. I change the subject I did not want more drama started. "So I thought maybe We could go on a trip." I say. Mom sets down her fork. "That would be great Shailene." The the table starts getting loud. Theo leans over. "And this is why you don't plan a vacation with family." Theo says. "I totally understand now." I say grinning.
