Twenty-Eight: Dad's House

Audrey smiled at them before starting eating, humming at the rich taste. "That's awesome, Chris." She said softly.

"It's our Dad's recipe. He taught us how to cook when we were younger." He explained.

"That's how I know how to cook chicken parmigiana," Shelby said.

"That's very cool." Audrey smiled, giving the food another bite. "The chicken parmigiana is amazing as well."

"You like everything I make you to eat though," Shelby said with a small smirk.

At first, Audrey didn't get the teasing, just rolling her eyes with a chuckle, but as soon as she did, brown eyes opened wide, and a gasp mixed with a giggle fell from her lips as her cheeks tinted pink. "Oh Lord, Shelby!" She laughed.

Shelby let out a small chuckle. "What?" She asked as if it was nothing.

Isabella even let out a laugh as Chris just he shook his head.

Audrey shook her head once again, starting to eat as well. "You are horrible." She chuckled.

"But you still love me, don't you?" Shelby pouted as she looked toward her lover.

At the small pout, the actress felt herself melting once again. She smiled sweetly to her. "Of course, I do, silly." She said softly, kissing her sweetly, caressing her cheek as she did so.

Shelby smiled into their kiss. "I love you too." She said softly.

"What 'bout me?!" Lizzy exclaimed.

Audrey giggled as she pulled apart, looking lovingly at Lizzy. "We love you too, sweetheart." She said softly.

"I love ya too." She smiled happily. "Can we play?" she asked as she held up a doll.

"Let us finish lunch first, okay?" the actress said softly, smiling at the girl.

"Elizabeth why don't you and I go play until they're done?" Isabella asked as she got up to take her dish into the kitchen.

"'Kay, Momma."

Once Isabella left with her daughter, Chris looked up at his sister and her fiancé. "Can you two try and not have sex so much while you're here? I get it, you're in the honeymoon stage, and that's great, but while I was upstairs with Lizzy, and she asked what those 'funny sounds' were."

Audrey bit her lip as she stared down, feeling her stomach doing flips. She took a deep breath to stop herself from already being teary, hating how easy it was for that to happen.

Shelby gently squeezed her lover's thigh. "I'm sorry. We'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

"Okay, thank you," Chris said before getting up to clean the dishes. "I'm not saying you can't... do it, just not when Lizzy's up or here. Okay?"

"Okay."

Audrey stared up, wanting to say something, not thinking it was fair to let it only on Shelby. "We really thought she was downstairs with you, watching cartoons, that's why." She said softly, breath struggling not to come shaky.

"She needed a change of clothes after eating because she spilled juice on herself... it's okay, I just want to know that it won't happen again."

"It won't." Shelby said before looking to her lover and whispering, "It's okay."

"S-sorry..." Audrey said softly, taking a deep breath. With her lover's words, she nodded, staring down at her plate, seeing she was almost done. "I'll g-go use the b-bathroom." The actress told her lover before quickly getting up and leaving the room.
