Make It To Me (Chris Evans AU Fic)

Evasive Tackles

A loud thud could be heard echoing from the backyard even from where Nina was standing in the kitchen with her sister Sarah. The two shared an odd look before they heard crazy giggling from the backyard. Sarah peeked her head out the window and informed her older sister, "It looks like wrestlemania is happening in your backyard, Nina."

"That doesn't surprise me," She laughed while sticking the food for dinner in the oven. "It's probably Chris and Jake that would be wrestling though, not the kids!"

"Most likely," Sarah rolled her eyes and laughed, knowing that Chris and Jake always seemed to be able to resort to their inner child even better than the kids did.

"I better go check on them and make sure nobody is killing each other," Nina snickered while wiping her hands off before walking into the backyard.

As she walked through the grass, Chris and Jake had their backs to her but her three boys were lined up along with Sarge, watching and intently watching their dad grab Jake's shoulder and sweep his legs out from under him then straddled his hips and held Jake's arms behind his back while the boys cheered.

"And that's how you do an evasive tackle," Chris informed the small boys.

"Wow, daddy do you have to do that to people at work?" Jack asked, constantly fascinated by his dad's job.

"Sometimes," Chris stood up and brushed his hands off before helping Jake up.

"And then I catch all the bad guys that your daddy is too slow to get," Jake teased, slapping Chris' chest before he gave Jake a shove right back.

"Can I tackle Ryan?" Logan, the four year old bounced up and down.

"No," Chris chuckled. "You cannot tackle your little brother!"

"Awwww but dad!" Logan whined.

At that moment, Sarge barked, alerting everyone to Nina's presence. The dog happily trotted over to Nina, always knowing he could get affection from her and she scratched behind his ears before asking, "So... what is going on out here?"

"Daddy's showing us how to take down bad guys!" Jack informed his mom enthusiastically.

"So I saw," Nina said, looking at Chris who gave her a sheepish smile. "But Jack, sweetie, I don't want to see you tackling any of the other kids at school, okay?"

"Okay Mommy," The obedient brunette nodded.

"Daddy can I handcuff Ryan?" Was the next question Logan asked as his bright blue eyes, that looked just like his dad's, begged as he held Ryan's chubby little hand.

Both Jake and Chris laughed before the kind father said, "No, you cannot handcuff your brother who just learned how to walk."

"Do you get to use your handcuffs at work a lot?" Jack wanted to know.

"I do use them," Chris informed his son before he turned to look at Nina, giving her that smirk that always made heat pool in her stomach while he said softly enough that the kids wouldn't hear, "I like using them at home better though."

Nina blushed while Jake just let out a loud groan, "Oh my god, I did not need to know that!"

Chris just let out a loud laugh before wrapping his arms around Nina's waist and pulled her body up against his so he could kiss her deeply, making their boys all shout, "EWWWW!"

"Hey Jake," Chris spoke as he stared into Nina's eyes, still holding her close. "How would you feel if you and Sarah watched the rugrats tonight?"

Jake just picked up the youngest of the Evans' boys and kissed his little nephew on the cheek before telling them, "Well I'd be a lot happier if I hadn't heard that handcuff comment, but sure Chris, we'll watch your kids so you can bang your wife."

"Oh my god," Nina groaned into Chris' chest from her embarrassment while Chris just kept laughing and kissed the top of her head.

Once Nina's red cheeks stopped burning, she went inside and Sarah helped her pack an overnight bag for the boys so they could spend the night with their aunt and uncle. Chris loved on each of his boys and Nina got hugs and kisses from each of them before she told them, "Be good, and listen to Uncle Jake and Aunt Sarah."

"Work on those evasive tackles with Uncle Jake," Chris playfully whispered to them while Nina put her hands on her hips and playfully glared at her husband.

Sarah and Jake took the kids and headed back to their house, leaving Chris and Nina alone. She still had her hands on her hips and told him, "You know I'm not very happy about you showing the kids how to do that because now they're going to be doing it on each other!"

He just laughed, knowing it was true but he snaked his arms around her waist and kissed at a particularly sensitive spot on her neck while telling her, "I guess I'll have to make it up to you.... And I think I know just the perfect way."
