Slugger (Sequel to 'The Jet') Benny Rodriguez

Chapter 19

Benny, my beautiful Benny,
Words can't describe my unending love for you. You are my happiness everyday, and when I wake up in the morning, I can't help but smile because of you. You have eyes that remind me of the stars we watch at night, and a smile that lights up every room you walk into. You are truly the most wonderful thing in my life, my love, and I adore you more than anything.

- Mack

You signed your name at the bottom of the note and folded it up, placing it inside of Benny's baseball bag where he could find it.

Ever since your return from the 'honeymoon' to your beautiful new home, you'd been writing Benny love letters everyday just to remind him how much you loved and appreciated him. Everyday he would come home and tell you how much he loves them. You couldn't believe how amazing your life was in this moment, and it seemed as though it could only get better from here.

That night you'd been sitting on the couch with the girls, watching some Mickey cartoons with them as they laughed. They sure did love Mickey.
When Benny came home, Eva scrambled to the door, jumping onto him to get him to pick her up. He did so excitedly, with a broad smile on his face.

"Te extrañé, mi pequeña princesa." He told her, pressing a kiss to her curly head of hair. Now at the age of three, she had grown to be quite the little stunner. That's why Benny called her his princess.

You called her bunny, due to her hyper personality, and her sweet nature. She was such a wonderful little girl, truly she was.

Little Evita had not yet reached six months, but already she was a beautiful baby girl. They both looked almost exactly like each other, except for Vivi's light green eyes. Other than that, they had the same features as each other, the same features as Benny. Man that boy's blood must be strong, for they resemble him almost exactly. Eva didn't look like you at all, and some people wondered if she was someone else's child. If you hadn't given birth to her, you might have thought the same thing, but she was definitely yours, and she looked just like your Benny.

You loved watching him interact with your babies, it made your heart melt everytime. He was such a good Daddy. He was the complete opposite of what his father was to him. His father was a deadbeat, who got Benny's mom pregnant and left for another girl who was half his age. Benny was always sad about how he didn't truly have a father in his life. He had some father like figures, but it just wasn't the same. He'd be damned if that was the case for his children.

He loved them both so much, and thanked his lucky stars for both you and them.

He set down the little girl, who then ran back into the living room to keep watching Mickey. She plopped down on the floor and you laughed, standing up off the couch to kiss your husband.

"Mi amor..." He pulled you close to him, pressing his lips to yours soft and sweetly. He gave you the look before brining his lips close to your ear. "Let's get them to bed, I got something I wanna do with you." His breathy whisper sent chills through you, and by the tom of his voice, you thought you knew exactly what you were in for.

"Okay." You smiled, walking back to where Vivi was laying. You scooped her up and handed her to Benny, who snuggled her close to his chest as he carried her down the hallway to her nursery. Now that you and Benny had a house, there were three bedrooms, not just two. Even though neither of you had siblings growing up, you still understood the importance of having your own room.

You sweeped Eva off the floor, making her giggle when you ran with her on your back down the hallway.

Benny had gotten Vivi in bed fairly easily, due to the fact that she'd practically already been asleep for the past hour.
