The CEO Wife

Aria's P.O.V

I was always a big fan of the morning after when I was with Beck. One of us would be staring at the other sleeping person. For Beck, I know he would play with my hair and watch me sleep as if there was no tomorrow. For me, watching Beck's body rise up and down from breathing makes me feels weak to my knees.

I was the first to wake up before him. I watched as his back muscles rise up and down calmly. I scooted closer and kissed his shoulder. Beck cuddled closer to the pillow making me smile.

I heard him mutter something making me lean my head onto his. He moved his head so he was looking at me. Or at least somewhat. His eyes were closed but he had a smile on his face.

"Morning," I whispered.

"Morning," Beck smiled.

"We need to get Xander," I said.

"Okay. But first," He leaned in and gave me a kiss. I kissed back a bit before pulling away and getting up.

"The view looks really good," Beck said. I looked over my shoulder and smirked. I wiggled my butt to tease him making him chuckle. He sat up and I grabbed his shirt. I put it over me and walked into the closet.

"Are you going to join me for a shower?" I called out.

"I'd love to," Beck shouted back.

I grabbed two towels and walked into the bathroom. Beck already turned on the shower and I hung the towels and took off his shirt. I got inside the shower with him and I reached for the shampoo.

"Not so fast," Beck said. He grabbed my hand and I looked up at him.

"Beck, we need to get Xander," I chuckled.

"We will get him, we're just going to be a little late," Beck smirked. He placed his lips onto mine and I smiled into the kiss. I pulled away and he smiled at me.

"I love you," Beck said.

"I love you too," I said.

After the shower, we drove to my parent's house and we walked in.

"Mom? Dad? I'm here for Xander," I said.

"Hey sweetie," My mom said walking out of the kitchen.

"Where's Xander?" I asked.

"With your brother," She said casually.

"George is back?" I asked happily.

George was my older brother in the military. He's been gone for almost two years.

"Yeah," I ran over and saw George with Xander.

"George!" I smiled.

"Aria!" He got up and walked over to me. I gave him a hug and he hugged me back tightly.

"I missed you," I said.

"I missed you too kid. So, this should be a good story," He said looking at Xander.

"Yeah. Why don't we get some lunch and I can explain everything," I said.

"I'd like that."

"Before I forget, George, you remember Beck," I said.

"Of course I remember. You're my sister's fiancée," He said. They shook hands and Beck smiled.

"Hey man," George said.

"Nice to see you again."

"Let's go get some lunch. I'm starving," I said. I picked up Xander and we all left.

We went to a nice restaurant and Beck sat next to me while George sat in front of us.

"So, did you guys marry yet?" He asked.

"Let me start from the beginning," I said.

"Okay. Go ahead kid."

"Beck and I separated after I caught him cheating on me but then I found out that I was pregnant with Xander. So after a year of not telling Beck, we ran into each other and I agreed on staying with him until Xander turned eighteen. However, Beck managed to win my heart again and we're getting married next month," I said.

"You both are idiots," George said.

"What?" Beck asked confused.

"Rude much?" I asked him. I crossed my arms at him.

"Look. One, you loved Aria so I don't know what was going on through your head on when you cheated on her. Secondly, you shouldn't have kept Xander a secret from Beck since he is the father," George said.

"Enough of us, how's the military?" Beck said.

"Great. It's stressful at times but hey, it's the military," George shrugged.

"Why didn't you call me when you were coming home?" I asked him.

"It was suppose to be a surprise until I saw little Xander here," George said.

"Oh."

"It's okay. So, when's the wedding? I want to be there for my little sis," George smiled.

"December," I said.

"I thought you loved summer weddings," George pointed out.

"I do but, we wanted to get married as soon as possible," I said.

"Understandable."
