One and Only

Chapter 15

Avaa POV

After Khalil's sisters left, I went upstairs to take a nap, I was tired as hell from today. Khalil followed and sat at the foot of the bed while I got into more comfortable clothing then crawled into bed.

"Baby?"

"Yes"

"You think you can give the love of your life a foot massage?" I wiggled my foot in his direction.

"Love of my life? Now you spicin' it." He said with a scoff.

"Damn that's cold." I replied, "but seriously, could you please massage my feet." I huffed and he picked up my foot. I let out a small moan as he kneaded into the bottom of my foot.

"Why are they swollen?" His face was all scrunched up.

"Oh I don't know, I think it has something to do with a night with this guy about 5 months ago. One thing led to another and now I'm kinda pregnant with his triplets." I said sarcastically making him laugh, "does that ring a bell to you?"

"Nah, no bells here."

"Really? He fucked me real good. It was honestly better than you could ever do."

"Whatever Marie, you know I'm the best you've ever had," he wiggled his eyebrows at me and I chuckled. He continued to knead into my foot and that man hit every knot I had. My soft, but infrequent moans filled the room as I relaxed back on the bed. After a few moments of comfortable silence, Khalil spoke again, "Avaa, when do you want to start wedding planning?"

I sat up in the bed a little, "Well, I have a few ideas already. I kinda want to wait until after the babies are born, I don't want to have to keep adjusting my dress size because of my belly."

"That's fine with me, what about the date? I'm thinking July-its more than 6 weeks away from your due date so the minis will be older than a month and will have had their first months shots, that way we could do an outside wedding."

"I like that idea- maybe we could have it in the big backyard of our new home?" I proposed hopefully.

"Avaa why do we need a new house?"

I sighed and sat up all the way and he let my foot go, "Baby, because the minis will need their own rooms before you know it. Plus, the extra rooms would be nice for the rest of this clan you're convinced I'm going to have."

"Do you not like this house?"

"Khalil its not that- I like this house, its wonderful, but it will always feel like Khalil's house, not our house. I want to be as much apart of our family home as you are."

"Avaa," he sighed, "I'm trying my best to make you comfortable here. In my opinion, you are very much apart of this house, our house. But if you feel so strongly about it, I'll look with you. What do you have in mind?"

When he said that I immediately perked up and hopped out the bed to grab my laptop because I've been looking around online and had already found some prospective places. I returned to bed and he took my foot back in his hand as I typed away to find the houses I'd saved. "Ok so I found this place right outside the city, it has mad potential, its just not move-in ready, it's a major fixer upper."

Khalil took the computer from my lap, "its nice, but we don't have time for a large renovation, at least not right now."

"Well then the next house is in the same area, maybe 10 minutes away- it has a bit of a southern feel, wrap around porch, nice aesthetic. It's huge- about 10 rooms and 10 baths. The only thing is, is that there isn't a big backyard for the kids, it's a little close to other houses, and the listing price is 1.2 million."
