Snake Eyes

12

We all get ready for our ceremony that the President organized. I'm 2 and a half months pregnant now and I have a bump and I still fit into my suit. Hair and makeup:

Snake smiles at me and grabs me and kisses me. He huskily whispers, "You look amazing, baby."

Block yells, "Time to go, lovebirds!"

Snake places his mask on and we head downstairs and meet with the group. Flint says, "Damn."

They all smile at me and I keep a hand on my bump and we leave. We start the drive and I eat my m&m's and Flint smiles and I throw one at him and he says, "Ow."

I smirk and lean on Snake and Jaye steals some of my m&m's. I ask, "Can we go to Texas Roadhouse after?"

Block asks, "Hungry?"

I say, "Very."

We reach the place for the ceremony and Duke is in the audience and he smiles at us. I keep my hands on my bump and Pop is giving us our medals. He reaches Jaye and says, "Captain Jaye Burnett. I served with your father. He would be very proud of you."

She smiles at him and couldn't stop and he gets to me and hugs me. He says, "Your father is extremely proud of you, even though he's in the hospital and couldn't be here."

I tear up and Snake comes over and hugs me and he places his hands on top of mine on the baby and we hear a bunch of awe's. Roadblock got a gun from Pop and he shoots it in the air. Roadblock says, "Come on, let's go get the baby mama some food."

People laugh and I throw my phone at him. He catches it and says, "I think you want that intact."

I scowl at him and we go to the cars. We drive over to Texas roadhouse and I sign, 'Are you taking your mask off?'

He nods and I say, "They don't know what you look like?"

He nods and Jaye asks, "He's taking it off?"

I say, "It'll look a bit weird if he doesn't in the restaurant."

They nod and I unhook the bottom of his mask and take it off and he pulls the top off and Jaye says, "Wow."

I say, "I know, right?"

She nods and Flint pouts and I say, "Ryan Seacrest is good looking, ain't he Jaye?"

Jaye says, "He's very good looking,"

Flint says, "Thank you."

I snort and Block says, "When we came back, my friend compared him to Ryan Seacrest.'

I smirk and say, "I figured it out and I know those two like each other."

Jaye hits my arm and I smack her back and she rubs her arm. We finally got to the restaurant and we get seated. I order a sweet tea and everyone else gets soda or water. Storm showed up and joined us and he says, "How is the baby ninja?"

I smile and say, "Baby's good, but hungry."

He sits beside me and orders a coke. The waitress comes back and we all order our food. I got country fried steak with  cream gravy, corn, and a loaded baked potato. Snake signed, 'Steak with mashed potatoes and corn.' I told her his order and how he liked his steak and she moved down the line and finished everyone's orders.

I ask, "What have you been up to, Storm?"

Hailey says, "Me."

I start to cough and Snake rubs my back and I say, "I'm fine. Just wasn't expecting that answer."

Storm laughs and Hailey asks, "Who's the hottie?"

I say, "That's Snake."

Her mouth drops open in shock and I nod. Storm gives her a look and she nods at him. Snake has a hand on my thigh and I hear, "Woman! How come you didn't tell me you were pregnant?"

I smile and say, "Scarlett! Where's Shithead?"

She says, "He's behind you."

He says, "You are going to be an Auntie also, Lake."

I say, "I thought both of you were dead."

Ripcord says, "You guys had it worse. You were out in the open. I hear you saved Duke even though you thought you were pregnant?"

I say, "I stayed in the shadows and popped out and grabbed his Pretty Ass and shoved him into the shadows. Not literally."

Scarlett laughs and says, "I'm 2 1/2 months along."

I say, "Same."

She sticks her tongue out at me and say, "You had a vacation."

I smirk and say, "That was the best vacation ever until I got a text message."

Snake pulls me onto his lap and they sit at the table and I say, "Go find Stacey our waitress and put your orders in."

They run off and come back five minutes later with their drinks and we all just talk. Stacey brings out our food with the help of two other servers. I say, "Thank you."

She nods and glances at Snake and then leaves. I mumble, "She likes you."

He mumbles, "I love you."

I smile and whisper, "I love you too."

Scarlett says, "Did he just talk to you?"

I nod and say, "I created a chatter box. He only talks to me."

Storm nods shocked and we all eat our food and we enjoy each others company. I say, "What now? Everything has to be rebuilt."

Duke says, "We'll figure it out. We always do. Focus on your baby."

Snake's hand squeezes my thigh and we all pay our bills and we head out. I ask, "Block? How's the girls?"

He smiles and says, "They're just happy I'm alive. We do everything together. I believe Duke has to watch them for a weekend still."

Duke says, "So does Laikyn."

Block says, "She didn't give another choice and we didn't shoot on that one."

I smirk and stick my tongue out at him and we get into the cars and drive home. We all got places relatively close to each other and Block drops us all off and Flint and Jaye go together in his house. I smirk and Block says, "Go to sleep."

I smile and say, "That sounds nice."

Block says, "Snake."

He nods at him and he has his mask back on already and we head into our house and I see Storm go into Hailey's house across from ours. We get inside and Snake has his mask off and pushes me against the door. He leans in and kisses me softly. He picks me up and takes me to our room.
