We are Forever (Book 6 in Nemi Forever Series)

Chapter 30

Demi

I woke up Sunday morning after my date with Jerry & again, I was alone in bed. I headed to the kids' rooms & both were empty. I didn't even bother getting a shower, yet, since I was having a lazy Sunday. I also smelled breakfast being made. Nick did make a mean breakfast. Joe had taught him years before, when they lived together, how to make eggs & French toast. I walked into the kitchen & stopped to take in the sight before me.

Nick was standing at the stove, holding Mercy with one arm, while the other arm was stirring something on the stove. Mercy's little head rested on Nick's shoulder & it felt like my heart was going to burst. I saw Jerry setting plates on the table. I cleared my throat & Mercy lifted her head to look at me. Jerry came running at me, yelling loud. Nick turned a little to smile at me.

"Good morning, Beautiful." Nick said, putting Mercy on the floor. I hugged her when she got to my feet, then went to Nick, who was waiting for me, to kiss his puckered lips.

"Smells good, babe." I smiled up at him as my arm snaked around his waist & his arm went around my shoulder.

"Mercy & Jerry wanted Daddy's eggs today." Nick grinned, proudly.

"I don't blame them." I patted his ass, quickly, then turned to the kids. "What are we going to do today?" I asked them.

"Play." Jerry answered, climbing into a chair.

"Swim, then play with my new babies." Mercy said, putting her doll into a tiny high chair.

"I can't believe you guys are almost four." I hugged Mercy, making her giggle. "You better stop growing up." They both looked at me & smiled. Nick finished cooking & we all sat down to eat together. The rest of the day, we relaxed & played. We played with dolls & Legos, together, which was Nick's idea. So, he wasn't a chauvinist. I had known all along, but I liked to see my beefy husband do girly things.

The next week, we went back to shooting our movie. As the days went on, that week, I noticed Nick was a little short when he spoke to me. I knew what his problem was. He was sexually frustrated. We were filming love scenes that week & Nick was getting all hot & bothered, but couldn't finish what we were starting on set, later, when we got home. I was still waiting until my miscarriage risk window was closed. We had like a week & a half to go. Then, I'd be scared that something else could happen, but I was going to try my hardest.

After the movie was finished filming, on a Friday, we had a wrap party the next day, on Saturday. Our last day of taping, Nick & I had to reshoot a hot love scene, which put him in a foul mood, that whole day. We got into an argument that night before we got into bed. He had snapped at me when I asked a simple question, so my hormones made me fly into a rage.

"Why the fuck are you snapping at me?" I screamed at him as he climbed into bed. "Go fuck your pocket pussy & stop being a crab ass." I spat at him, lying down & pulling the blankets up to my neck.

"I probably should. My wife won't have sex with me so I need to relieve myself since I'm a little backed up."

"Go!" I waved my hand toward the bathroom. "I'll be sleeping when you come back to bed, so good night."

"It's not the same, Dem. I like the intimacy. I like being close to you. That's what I miss."

"Hire a hooker, then, if you can't wait a few fucking weeks." I rolled over in a huff.

I heard Nick laugh. "Is this you giving me permission to have sex with another woman again?"

I groaned. "Do you want permission?" I asked.
