Fantasy Life made Normal

Chapter 6

Marshall woke up alone in the room. He could hear his wife talking to their son down the hall. He wondered if she was still mad at him. He wasn't about to tell her that it was Skylar and a few other girls blowing up his phone. She obviously figured it was Royce or Curtis asking him things. Madelyn entered the room. He lay there, watching her. She completely ignored him as she got clothes out of the drawers.

"Madelyn," he said.

She looked at him for a split second before leaving the room. He growled before getting up from the bed. Maverick was in the dining room area with Whitney. Madelyn came out of the other bathroom, dressed. Marshall looked over at her. She walked over to her son. He was done eating. She picked him up and put him in the stroller.

"Ready?" she asked Whitney.
"Yeah," the teen smiled.

They headed out the door. She didn't tell Marshall goodbye or that she loved him. She just left with his two youngest children.

He rolled his eyes as his phone pinged from the other room.

Skylar: How is vacay?
Marshall: shitty
Skylar: why?
Marshall: my phone has blown up since yesterday with you, Courtney, and Stacey.
Skylar: Mads is pissed huh?
Marshall: and hormonal. Preggo again.
Skylar: damn u potent bastard.

Marshall chuckled. In a way she was right because his swimmers were defying the odds when it came to birth control.

Skylar: dick her down. She will forgive you
Marshall: shut up. You are the last person i want to talk about my dick with
Skylar:lol aight well i will quit buggin you. Enjoy your vacay

He rolled his eyes. He scrolled thru the other messages from last night. Stacey's messages had all gone unanswered. She wanted what he wasn't willing to give. He had only answered Courtney because she was his assistant.

"Morning," Alaina said as he walked out of the room.
"Morning baby," he smiled.
"Where are Mads, Mav, and Whit?"
"Went for a walk I think."

Alaina nodded. He went to find something to eat. They had brought a few things down for them to have a quick breakfast. Alaina watched him for a minute.

"You ok?" she asked.
"Yeah why?" he asked her.
"We all know Madelyn slept in Maverick's room."
"She was just mad about the phone. It is fine."
"Unc,"

He looked at her. Rarely did she refer to him that way.

"Don't lose her over something dumb. We like seeing you happy and Mads does that for you. I know you are struggling with the idea of another kid but Mads really deserves the world. She puts up with all of us and the chaos that follows you." Alaina said putting her chin in her hand.
"I know Lainy. This shit is just crazy," he said. "Listen, can you guys keep Mave tonight so I can take her to dinner just us?"
"Yeah that is fine. If they want to do something, I will keep him."
"Thank you."

Alaina nodded. Marshall went to put a plan in place to make things up to his wife. He had it all ready pretty quickly thanks to Paul. Madelyn and Whitney came back with the baby.

"Your massage is in an hour," Madelyn deadpanned as she walked by him.
"Thank you," he replied, "hey Mads."

She stopped and looked at him.

"Alaina is gonna keep Maverick tonight so I can take you to dinner," he said.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because I want to fix this shit. I don't want to fight with you this whole vacation."
"Ok."

She walked down the hall. Maverick was toddling around. They had set up a baby gate to keep him out of the kitchen. Marshall followed her down to the bedroom. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back into his chest. He began to kiss to her neck. She pulled away from him.

"I am still mad at you," she said, quietly.
"I know," he whispered, pulling her back again to kiss on her neck.

She couldn't help the moan that left her lips. He smirked, knowing he had her right where he wanted her. She reached a hand up to put it on his head.

"I love you Madelyn Nicole," he mumbled against her neck.
"I love you too Marshall," she smiled.
"I will fix this."
"You need to get ready for your massage."

He nodded. She looked at him.

"You aren't getting one?" he asked.
"No, I am gonna get a virgin frozen drink and lounge by the pool." she said.
"You aren't coming with me?"
"No baby, Hailie is going though. She has a facial scheduled."

He nodded. She turned in his arms and out hers around his neck.

"How the hell do you do that?" she asked.
"What?" he looked at her funny.
"Make me fall for you all over again even though I want so bad to be mad at you."

He shrugged. She giggled. He pressed a kiss to her lips. She sighed heavily.

"Dad, we gotta go," Hailie called.
"I will see you a little later," he told his wife.

She nodded. He kissed her again and followed his daughter out the door. She went to get something to eat. The butterflies he left in her belly were always intense.

"Lets go get something to drink," Alaina said.

They headed down for basically some slushies and to lay by the pool. Whitney took Maverick into the water with her.

"Are you guys ok?" Alaina asked.
"We will be," Madelyn replied.
"Good."
"Is it too much to want some of his undivided attention to be on his family while on this vacation?"
"Honestly, no."

She nodded. She was only using her phone to take pictures of all of them. She wanted the memories for their son.
