Downfall

Chapter 19: Apple Orchard

Feels like time is passing by so fast. Mia got adopted. She was over the moon and so were our parents. Grayson and I were better than ever.

"Sissy, guess what?"

"Mia, do you enjoy being on my back." I groaned.

"It's fun." She giggled. "There's pancakes!"

With that said, she made a run and left my bedroom.

I chuckled. That little munchkin is my alarm on the weekends. I went to do my daily routine. Normally I would change clothes, but is Saturday and I want to be in my pjs. I made my way to the table and saw Grayson.

"Cute pjs." He chuckled.

I chuckled too, "It's Saturday, and way early to change clothes." I replied as I sat down next to him.

"Well, you look adorable." He pecked my lips.

"Isn't he the sweetest, I bet you two were embarrassed to be seen in pjs, unlike us." I teased them.

"Well, we didn't grew up together. And I was very shy in that aspect. Even when I wore bikinis." Mom told us.

"And she was the most beautiful woman. Still is." He pecked her lips.

"Smooth, dad." Hunter told him. We chuckled.

"Well, I know Saturday is your stay in pjs all day, but we're going to the apple orchard. Get ready, Dani and Lori are meeting us there."

"Okay, right after I have my coffee and 20 more minutes to sleep." I poked his dimples. My parents laughed.

.........

We arrived at the apple orchard and Lori and Dani were already waiting for us.

"Finally, were you two having some unholy fun?" Lori asked us.

"No, we're very holy. Well I am, Grayson is unholy." I gave them a cheeky smile. They chuckled.

He pulled me to him and said, "When the time comes, I'm going to make you scream so much, you will become a very unholy person." He pecked my lips.

Ah fuck, my breathing become heavy and my heart was racing so fast. And I got a little excited down there.

"Horny people, this is a family place." Dani told us. We shook our heads.

"Alright, let's go pick up some apple. I want apple pie with vanilla ice cream." After I said that, I made a run to the trees.

I made a stop and saw something written on a tree.

"You sure can run." Grayson told while wrapping his arms around my waist and rested his chin on the crook of my neck.

"Look at that." I pointed at the tree.

Our tiny hands were carved on the tree. And below said, 'Nikki and Grayson, best friends.' Even Hunter's tiny hand was carved.

"Wow, now I remember. I asked dad to carve my hand and he said yes, course he had to first put my hand on a paper to get the form, and then carve it here." I smiled at that.

"Dad did the same, and then they brought us here and did this. And look above." Grayson told me.

It had our parents names. And of course, a little dog was carved on top of mom's name. I chuckled.

"Step aside, this tree is going down." Someone with an ace told us. "Its been years since it hasn't given fruits, so we're planting a new one."

"No please, wait." I approached him. "Before you do, please give me the middle part." I pointed at the log where everything was written.

He nodded. He cut it nicely, I wanted to have this. It just has too much meaning behind it. I hugged the log and smiled. Grayson placed a soft kiss on my lips.

"Our parents will be over the moon. We should put it next to the tree house." He suggested.

"Perfect." I pinched his cheeks.

........

We left the Orchard with two big bags, of apple. We entered my house and our parents were outside having some wine and having a great time. We left the apples in the kitchen and then went outside.

"Hey, how was the orchard?" Mom asked us.

"It was fun, the four of us had a blast. And look what we save since they were tearing down the tree." I showed them the log.

"Wow, it's been years since we last went there. I kinda forgot we did this." Dad said while grabbing the log.

Mom chuckled, "of course you did a dog on top of my name."

"Because I'll never let you forget that." He kissed her.

"Look at your tiny hand." Jojo said while hugging Grayson. He smiled and hugged her back.

"This log will stay next to the tree house. Where it belongs." I smiled as everyone did too.

"Mom, will you bake us some pie?" Hunter asked her.

"Of course, get ready to have the best apple pie in the world." Mom told us as she walked inside.

We followed her and enjoyed a nice breezy, autumn afternoon.
