Eternally-Sequel to Unconditional(Nate Maloley)

Chapter 36

"Lil mama take this picture quick" Nate said as we walked around town with the kids. "Nate I would if I wasn't carrying Ethan right this second" I laughed. "Give him to Aiden!" Nate pouted. "Oh my god Aiden hold your brother for mom quick" I said. He nodded and held out his arms. "Okay there done" I said. "Thank you!" He smirked, kissing my cheek. "Daddy, ew!" Annica giggled. "What's so wrong about kissing your mom? Huh?" He said, kissing me again. Annica covered her eyes and I laughed. We continued walking around, walking in and out of stores. "Mommy we never made our bears for baby Ethan!" Annica pouted. "Aw shit! We didn't!" I said looking down at Ethan. "To build a bear we go" I said to Nate, listening to him groan. "Oh suck it up" I smiled patting his back. He smiled and held onto my hand tighter. "Where's Sam been lately?" I asked. "With Juliannnnaa" he dragged. "Why you say it like that?" I said, "Cause he's been talking about how he wants to take things on a higher level and thinks she's the one and yeah" he said. "And is that a bad thing?" I asked confused now. "No, no not at all! I'm actually happy for him. The boy found someone he's stable with" he chuckled, turning the corner to find our car. We reached our car and by then Ethan was asleep so he was easy to buckle up. "Quiet in the car, got it?" I said to Nate, Annica and Aiden. They all nodded in response and climbed in. "OW FUCK" Nate mumbled loudly as he hit his head. I held my hand over my mouth to hold in my laughs. "Are you okay baby?" I said. "Yeah, yeah I'm good" he rubbed his head. I reached over and rubbed the back of his neck while he drove. "Mommy will I ever marry someone like daddy?" Annica asked as we drove to Build a Bear. I smiled over at Nate who returned the smile. "I hope so. I can only wish you find someone just like him or better" I said to her. "What about Aiden!" She giggled. "Wha about Aiden? I'm sure he will find someone just like me or better too" I said making Nate laugh. "Find someone better buddy" Nate said, "HEY!" I pouted. "I'm kidding" he laughed gripping my thigh tighter.

"Uncle Sammy is BACK!" Sam yelled as he walked through our front door. Nate was on the reclining chair while I sat on his lap, and the kids were on the floor with Ethan. Annica didn't realize he was here. "Hey" I smiled. "Hey bro" Nate chuckled "Who are you guys talkin-" she stopped, "UNCLE SAMMY!!!" She screamed, causing Ethan to scream and cry. "Oh boy" Nate chuckled, "Aiden hand me the baby" I smiled. "Hi angel, I missed you" Sammy said hugging Annica. "I missed you more!" She said. "How's my boys?" Sam asked referring to Aiden and Ethan. "I'm good" Nate said. "Not you dipshit but that's good to hear. I meant Aiden and Ethan" he laughed. "Can I hold him? He's got so big" I nodded and handed him to Sam. "So, how's things with Julianna?" I smirked. "Actually, I needed some woman advice that's why I'm here" he chuckled. "Carry on then" I laughed. "I was wondering if you can come with me to pick out a ring maybe?" He asked. "Awe Samuel! I sure will. I wanna help you pick out the perfect one for her" I smiled. "Can I go!" Annica asked. "I think you stay home with daddy and your brothers" I said. "Just let her go with you guys. I'll stay with the boys" Nate said. "Nate were going into an expensive store where she will touch things" I said. "Just take her with. She's good about listening to you" he told me. "Please mommy! I'll be good I promise" she begged. "Whatever. I don't care but if you arent you know your punishment" I warned. She nodded. "Now go find your shoes in your room before I change my mind" I said with a smile.

"This one! She will love this one!" I said pointing at a ring in the case. "Who mama?" Annica asked still holding onto my back pocket like I asked her to. "Uncle Sammy's girlfriend. You remember Julianna" I said. "Ohhhhhh yeah! I like her" she smirked. "Me too" Sam chuckled. "Is there something I can help you guys with?" The lady asked. "Yeah can we look at this one right here?" Sam said. She nodded and unlocked the case. "Is this for your girlfriend here?" She asked. I giggled to myself, "We're just friends" Sam choked. "Actually more like brother and sister. That's my sister and niece" he chuckled. "Oh. My mistake. Sorry" she laughed nervously. "No biggie" we laughed. "Uncle Sammy guess what tomorrow is!" Annica said. "Hmmm.... Your birthday?" He laughed jokingly. "NO! Halloween goofy!" She giggled. "Oh that's right! Is mommy taking you and your brothers?" He said smirking at me. My jaw dropped, "Sam!" I whispered. "Please mama can we? We didn't even get costumes yet!" She pouted. "Hey what'd I tell you about pouting before we left?" I said pointing at her. "I sorry" she frowned. "We'll see okay?" I said. She nodded happily and hugged my hip. "I love you mama" she said. "I love you too babygirl" I smiled. "Stas I really like this ring" Sam said. "What size is she?" I asked him. "Let me see your hand" he said. I put my hand up so he could look, "A size bigger than yours," he nodded. "Can we order this in a 6 then?" I said. "unless you like a different one Sam" I said. "No. It's this one" he smiled. "Alright I'll get papers for you and we can get started" the lady smiled.

"DADDY!" Annica screamed as we got inside. "Annica Marie!" I yelled. "Mommy is being mean!" She cried. "Why is this? Were you behaving like you were suppose to?" Nate said standing up with Ethan. "I was! I promise!" She pouted. "Wow, somebody is crabby!" I said with my hands on my hips. "Annica how about you go lay down" Nate said. "No!" She kicked her feet. "Do you want to go trick or treating tomorrow? Or do you want to sit in the house doing nothing? Because this can be arranged" I said. She pouted her lip out at Nate and sighed, letting a tear slide down her cheek. "Don't pull that one. Go on" Nate said. I motioned for him to hand me Ethan and he did. I sat on the couch and played with my smiling baby. "Hi pumpkin" I smiled pinching his cheek lightly. "Mmma" he mumbled. I smiled and kissed his forehead while Nate walked Annica up to her room as she kicked and screamed. "Annica Marie Maloley," Nate started. Here comes an angry nathan. "If you keep up this fucking attitude you have, you will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, go out trick or treating tomorrow. I will take you to your grandmas house and take everyone else out. Do you understand me? This is fucking ridiculous!" He yelled. "yes daddy" she sniffled. "Good. Because I will keep my fucking word. Try me" he said. He calmly walked himself back down the stairs and sat next to me. "Hi," I smiled at him. "Hi mama" he smirked, kissing my cheek. "And hi baby" he smiled at Ethan who was giggling on my lap. "What should we dress him up as?" I asked laying my head on his shoulder. "Some type of animal" he said. "Tiger?" I suggested. "YES" I smiled. "Aiden? Come here please" I called out to him in his room. "Coming" he yelled back. I heard his footsteps and saw him in front of me. "Are you coming trick or treating tomorrow? If you are we need to go find a costume" Nate said. "Yeah I wanna go. And I wanna be the scream" he smiled. "To scare your siblings?" I laughed. "No I'll be nice" he laughed along. "How about daddy takes you and Ethan to get your costume. I'll talk with Annica about what she wants to be and I'll work with that" I said. "Yeah?" Nate said. "Works for me" Aiden smiled. "Alright, well we will be back then. And babe, good luck with Annica" Nate laughed.
