When The Stars Align

Chapter 110

We had been there for a week and feeling extremely relaxed and happy. Even the kids were calmer, though Tyler was becoming this little terrorist. Sarah was playing with him near the water. They were digging a hole and James and I were laying on the sun, feeling lazy. He rolled on his stomach and ran a hand over my belly, making me turn my head to look at him. He smiled all alone. Only God knows what he was thinking that moment and a soft smile formed on my lips. I smiled watching him and took a hand to his hair, letting my fingers slid perfectly through it.

"Six weeks..." He said vaguely looking up at me.

It felt wonderful, knowing that child was so much wanted and loved. Even the kids were beginning to accept it well, Sarah mostly, Tyler was still the baby himself.

"Still a long way to go." I told him.

"I don't know how we're gonna call him if it's a baby boy, but I do have the name if it's a baby girl." He told me. I was surprised he had already given the name a thought.

"And what is that?"

"I don't wanna tell. We'll see when we have to decide." He said. He kissed my belly and then stood, stretching me out his hand. "Wanna go swimming a bit?"

I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up, helping me stand. Hand in hand, we approached the shore and stopped near the kids.

"Look how big!" Tyler grinned happily.

"Do you guys wanna go in the water?" James asked them, but they both shook their head. They were rather entertained.

Truth was they were soaked, as they were playing near the water and got hit by tiny waves. We proceeded hand in hand, until James disappeared in the water. I needed more time to get used to the temperature. When he emerged, he opened his arms and grinned. I began to walk backwards.

"Don't even think about it." I said.

"Come on babe, show me some love." He kept approaching me with his kid grin. Arms opened.

"James..." I tried to give him a pissed off look, but I began to laugh as he began to walk faster to me.

I tried to escape, but as he caught my hand, he pulled me to him and closed his arms around me. His body freezing mine and I screamed feeling the contrast, while he laughed really loud. He loved to do that.

"Fine now?" He asked when I finally got used to his temperature.

I looked at him and nodded, while his face came closer and his lips parted before gluing in mine. Even with the kids watching we shared more than a peck, our kiss was passionate.

"EWWW....guys!!" Sarah yelled. "Jesus..." She frowned.

"Oh yeah?" James asked her, beginning to run. Sarah got up and began to run too.

"NO, dad!" She laughed loud, but he caught her quite fast.

Grabbing her, he began to drag her into the water, while Sarah fought and laughed and screamed all at the same time. Tyler clapped and then James just plunged them both under a wave. When they emerged, she looked at him and he looked at her and both burst into laughter, then she began to try and plunge his head under water.

"Mommy..." Tyler called me, expecting me to get him.

He wanted to be part of the fun, so I went to get him. I carried him in my arms until we were near and then James grabbed him, playing with him in the water. Sarah and I swam for a bit and then came back to our towel, while James and the boy were having their fun. Tyler's giggles echoed on the beach and at some point James's looked like a little boy himself.
