Chapter Twenty-Two

17th of September 2016

Later That Night:

We are gathered around a small bonfire with soft music in the background. Mainly Nickleback, Linkin Park and even a little Bullet For My Valentine.

And yes, they are all favourites of Sam's and Jared is clearly proud of his son's taste in music.

Sam is dancing around while Jared is trying to figure out what he is doing and hopelessly failing to teach him more moves.

My baby is so stubborn and just doesn't want to change his dance moves. I don't blame him though, he is so adorable.

Finally, Jared just gives up and throws himself into the bean bag beside me with a sigh of defeat.

"That boy is as stubborn as you." He grumbles with a pout as he crosses his arms.

I laugh as I rub over the spot on my belly where my little girl has been kicking the crap out of me.

Seriously, she would make one hell of a footy player.

"And you." I add.

His pout only deepens because he knows I'm right.

I grin and lean over to peck him on the lips so he'll stop pouting like a child.

It works as well as I thought it would as his face brightens with his smile.

"No PDA around me or the kids." My father calls from his place on the other side of the bonfire besides my giggling mother.

Jared pulls away quickly but I have to laugh at him.

Who is he to talk?

"We've grown up seeing your PDA, this is just payback." I call back.

That has my mom laughing even harder as she points at my father who is grumbling and sending Jared some seriously dirty looks.

I think he is going to continue to whine about us kissing in front of him but Sam jumps up onto Jared's lap with a huge grin.

He knows never to start complaining about it around Sam. I want him to grow up knowing he can show his feelings towards his other half without any shame and my dad knows if he messes with that I'd kill him.

Never mess with a pregnant woman who wants to protect both her children.

"Mommy, Daddy? Can you sing for me? I like mommy's voice and uncle Dean told me daddy is a good singer two." He asks shyly as he cuddles into his fathers chest.

He can be so adorable sometimes.

His speaking is exceptionally good for his age and he has proved over and over that he is a very fast learner.

I suppose it took him longer to talk because he wanted to get the speaking right before he started.

My little perfectionist.

Jared grins at me questioningly and I have to return it.

Its been a long time since I've sung but I couldn't imagen a better person to join me besides my fiance.

Jared winks, seeming to sense my thoughts and turns to his friends.

"Hey guys, Sammy wants a live show." He calls happily.

All the boys grin like idiots obviously happy that they'll be able to play another song with their bandmate.

It only takes them around ten minutes to set themselves up and after Jared speaks to them for a moment he comes back to me with a cheeky smile.

He's up to something. I'd know that face anywhere.

He pulls me to my feet by my hand and I stare at him knowing I will figure out what he's up to soon enough.

But he just grins and sits Sam on the bean bag he had been sitting on only moments ago so he can watch the show.

Just then the boys start playing the music and with a start, I realize it is 'It has always been you' by Flitch Claucous.

It was one of his earliest songs and it was both our favourites when we were younger.

I roll my eyes at his cheesiness and he starts singing the lyrics that we had memorized together most nights along with a lot of his other songs.

The words are sweet and I can't help but roll my eyes as I see a few girls recording him.

He starts dancing with me, pulling me by my hands the way he wants and I have no choice but to join him.

By the time it's my turn to sing I'm having tons of fun and even giggling as he swoops me down like you see people do in those old posh movies.

When the song finishes he falls back onto the bean bag beside Sam and pull me onto his lap while everyone claps at our performance.

"You are such a cheesy romantic." I scoff but curl up into his chest happily as Sam leans over to kiss Jared and I on the cheek in thanks.

"Only for you. And besides, I was thinking that could be our song for the wedding."

What?

I blink at him in surprise.

He wants that song for our first dance after we are married.

I blush at how sweet he can be towards me.

I am beyond lucky to have him in my life and for being the father of my children.

So I catch him off guard as I smash my lips against his, my hormones spiking from the tender moment and my pregnancy.

He moans in surprise but kisses me back none the less.

"I guess that's a yes." He chuckles before continuing to kiss me senseless.

"Of course."

I hear my Dad groan in annoyance from somewhere but I don't care.

He is just going to have to start getting used to seeing us kiss because we aren't shy to show everyone how much we really love each other.

Jared is the greatest gift God has given to me and I would rather die than to take his love for granted.

I know it's been a while since I put up a chapter, I haven't been writing for a while and I don't think I'll be writing much now either.
I've been going through things lately and I haven't been feeling all that happy writing, I just get frustrated when the words don't come out how I want them to.
So for that reason as well as work and family, I've been too busy. I'm sorry.
I hope one day I can finish this story somehow and I can start writing like I used to.
Hope this little chapter helps.
Love, Alza
