When: 6/27/17
Where: The bar
Notes: The day after their fight.
This was not how things were supposed to turn out. James recognized Ella was in a toxic work environment since they started seeing each other. He voiced his concerns about it time and again but he got he loved the job. He even started to keep his comments to himself but it wasn’t until the twins entered their lives and when James learned what Peter did to El that he knew they needed to get out of there.
And now that she was rid of that place, by something he wasn’t sure was a firing or acknowledging her leave, she was furious with him. Or the situation? Or both? She yelled at him in the parking lot about how he got what he wanted and how he shouldn’t have interfered during her conversation with Peter. Maybe he should have waited longer instead of jumping the gun, but he worried about her health. There was no reason too but he just didn’t want any unnecessary stress on her and what he walked into yesterday afternoon was tension so thick he could cut it with a knife.
He hadn’t heard from her since yesterday early afternoon. He didn’t know where she was. If she got in safe. If she was doing okay or what. He didn’t know if she wanted to be done with this too and start a new life away from everyone associated with the one before the babies. James didn’t know anything.
The third empty glass was removed from in front of him and Brandi gave him a fourth, along with a shot of whiskey. She asked her questions, being her typical nasty self whenever Ella was the topic of conversation but he didn’t give her much to go by other than they had a fight. James didn’t see the excitement in Brandi’s eyes behind this news and she hoped this was the end of that relationship. She even went as far as to lay it on thick with the physical touches and sweet terms of endearment.
James turned away from the bar, not completely blind to what was going on but this was his bar. She may work there but he wasn’t going to change venue because of that. The fresh beer went to his lips and James stared at the door, hoping that El would randomly stroll in and they’d be okay again. It was a crazy thought, one he knew wouldn’t come true. Still. He hoped.
After he finished his fourth beer, Brandi refused to give him his motorcycle keys; insisting she drives him. This reminded him of his and El’s brief exchange about him wanting to drive her because she was upset, but instead, he pushed away from the bar and opted to walk home instead. It was 2 am and the world was quiet.
James fished his phone out of one of his pockets, after patting himself down, and he looked at his screen. There were no voicemails, no new texts. Nothing from her. How long was he supposed to go like this? It was only a day but those twenty-four hours without her; without knowing if she could forgive him or not, ate away at James.
He went to his texts screen and read a few of their old ones, smiling at the memories but feeling heat hit his eyes as sadness set in.
Maybe he could send her one right now? Just something. Anything.
His fingers typed out one and he tapped send before he could change his mind. Hopefully, it wouldn’t make her want to place more distance between them but he missed her too much.

Where: James’ house and then Ella’s office
Notes:
James-06/26/2017
James stopped what he was doing and crawled up the bed, pulling the sheets away and poking his head through them to get some fresh air. There was a huge grin on his face and he watched Ella as she laid there breathing heavily. "Should I keep going or you want something more from me?" his damp lips kissed her quivering thigh, proud of himself for making his woman feel good.
Ella-06/26/2017
"I--" Ella wasn't quite sure as her head was dizzy from pleasure. She never wanted him to stop his magical mouth but. Other parts of his were magical too. Ella, still fisting the sheets to steady herself, made her decision. "I want your cock. Just fuck me. Please." She practically whined.
James-06/26/2017
"Ah. How can I deny you when you use please and fuck in the same sentence?" He laughed. "Should we use the pillows under you did elevation?" Ever since he Googled pregnancy sex positions and saw all the things people wrote about laying on your back during sex, it made James extra weary about doing anything that could hurt the twins.June 27, 2017
Ella-06/27/2017
"Oh my God, j, I do not care just please give it to me." Ellas legs squeezed against him, aching for him. She knew however that he was protective and he'd want a real answer before continuing so she picked her head up to look at him,"ill be fine. We're okay."
James-06/27/2017
He was already moving into place and before she decided to hell with the fuck so she could strangle him instead, James pushed himself into her. She was hot and wet. Very wet as he could feel how slick his cock felt after a couple pumps. But the slowness didn't last as he gripped her outer thighs and went for fast and hard, hoping her clit was still sensitive enough to feel each forward slap of his skin against it.
Ella-06/27/2017
Ella felt him easily slide in; her eyes closing as he thrusted against her again and again, "Jesus," she whimpered. Not only had he made her incredibly wet but everything was so much more sensitive wth the extra pressure from pregnancy. She knew he could make her orgasm right away. Low moans settled deep in her throat as he went faster and harder and her hips moved with him as she felt him go as far as her body would allow.
James-06/27/2017
The sounds from before returned but James wanted more from it. His need to hear Ella really get into this fucking brought forth an intense heat and he tried to do more but with the twins in the way he couldn't really give her the attention he wanted. That's fine, not like he didn't have other tricks in his sleeve and as he leaned back it gave him that needed space to rub his thumb against her engorged clit. This was one of their last nights in his house, so might as well give the neighbors a show.
Ella-06/27/2017
The moment his thumb hit her most sensitive spot Ella cried out in pleasure, saying his name over and over again. How she wished she could reach his long blond hair and take hold of it, pulling it like they both loved so much, but Ella couldnt manuever herself up like that anymore. She tried to open her eyes to watch him and admire his gorgeous body, but everything felt too good and intense and it was all she could do to hold her orgasm for a little bit longer; she wanted him to be ready too.
James-06/27/2017
James dropped down, hands on either side of her but still unable to be on her completely. No way in hell was he gonna put his full weight on her and he used his upper body strength to keep that from happening. He thought about going back to her clit to see if he could bring another round of moans from her. His hips quickened and he felt his cock slide in and out. In and out. Faster. Harder. His mind dizzied and his senses went into overdrive as his heard how wet she was, the scent of their sex driving him crazy. And her warmth. Fuck. Everything was getting him close to his finish and he pounded into her relentlessly, groaning and grunting lowly in his throat as he went.
Ella-06/27/2017
When J leaned forward, bringing their bodies as close as possible, in one swift motion Ella grabbed a fist of that coveted hair. She pulled hard on it as she wrapped her legs around him, keeping him nice and close. Ella begged him to go harder so she could hardly stand it and as she felt herself clench around his length as her orgasm started to unravel, she also felt a sharp contraction hit. Her moans of pleasure were suddenly mixing with ones of discomfort. "Oh shit shit, J!" She knew they were both about to come.(edited)
James-06/27/2017
Everytime she tightened around his cock it practically set him off. James felt pain from the hair pull but he happened to love that feeling; ramming himself into her more. And Ella was making the right sounds, doing everything he loved but as he readied to put her ankle in his shoulder, to really drive it home, there was a new sound that came from her and he asked, breathless and sweaty by this point, "Are you okay?"
Ella-06/27/2017
Ella groaned, the spasm of the Braxton Hick taking over her orgasm, "Fuck." She grumbled, J still inside of her. She let go of his hair and pressed her flat palm to the side of her swollen stomach. She nodded at his question, "Yeah Im fine." Ella blew out a breath, brows creased. "Poorly timed Braxton Hicks." She looked back up at him as she tried to ride out the achey feeling and at the same time let J finish.
James-06/27/2017
James heard of this before but couldn't remember what it was. Like a type of cramp? He wasn't sure if he could keep going when she was feeling discomfort. James' movements slowed but he didn't stop completely. "Are you sure?" He still looked down at her, placing a hand on her stomach in an attempt to help soothe her.June 28, 2017
Ella-06/28/2017
James and Ella hadn't started their birthing classes yet where they would cover things like this and she wasn't entirely sure James knew what she was talking about but he still dialed it back and was so gentle with her. Ella adjusted herself as much as she could without messing up his rhythm as the pain subsided. She nodded, "Yeah just come." She encouraged.June 29, 2017
James-06/29/2017
What happened sorta took the heat from everything and James stopped moving completely, hands on either side of her head and looking down. He breathed heavily and shook his head. "Don't think I can. Knowing you're not gonna be able to makes it hard for me to keep going."
Ella-06/29/2017
Ella felt her hopes sink and immediately felt guilty. "I'm sorry, baby." She apologized, looking up at him and running her hand down his chest. She knew her orgasm had been killed off and felt bad she had done the same to his.
James-06/29/2017
"Guess you can say this is the first time the twins cockblocked us," he rolled his hips back and felt his semi-hard erection pull out completely. James dropped to his side and held her; doing his best not to sound frustrated. His body, on the other hand, felt denied. James kissed her shoulder and went to her stomach. "Want me to massage your stomach, babe?"
Ella-06/29/2017
Ella sighed loudly, not impressed. "I guess so." She felt him pull out and couldn't help the sad whimper that went along with it as her body still pulsated, aching for him. God she had so much energy pent up from trying to psych herself up about her talk with Peter the following morning and now this only added to her frustration. They laid there naked, both clearly turned on and yet here they were settling for massages. "Sure,"Ella answered in a small voice. She grabbed the sheet and pulled it over her lower half to keep comfortable.July 1, 2017
James-07/01/2017
This was different. He was used to them finishing and talking while he held her afterwards. His body wanted to give it another go but his brain told him to do instead. James licked his lips and placed his hand on El's stomach and watched as he pressed his fingers into it. "How's this?" He didn't know the first thing when it came to massaging a stomach as this was his first time. A belly rub was one thing but to press his fingers into it, that was a whole other thing.
Ella-07/01/2017
Ella watched as he began to work his fingers into her firm rounded stomach. She shrugged, "Its good." It didn't really feel like much to be honest but just his touch was nice. She looked over to him and bit on her lip for a moment before asking, "are you mad at me?"
James-07/01/2017
He kept it gentle because he didn't want to bruise her skin but when she asked her question James was caught off guard. "Why would I be mad at you?" Was he acting upset? Yeah his body was wanting some type of release but it wasn't the end of the world and if they wanted to get back to it afterwards they could.
Ella-07/01/2017
"Because we couldn't finish." Ella answered." I feel bad." Why was she feeling so emotional? The answer to that question of course was being massaged at the moment. Ella felt so unsettled and had to close her eyes, trying to stay focused on his hands
James-07/01/2017
James looked to her and he pressed a kiss to her breast before raising his lips to hers. "Baby," he whispered as he tried to show he wasn't bothered. "It's fine. We were both about to so neither of us finished," he kissed her again. "Let me try to soothe this cramp away and we can try again. "
Ella-07/01/2017
Ella nodded, feeling him center her like only he could. "Okay," she agreed. Ella snuggled in closer to him, kissing him back. She readjusted again, as it was hard to find a comfortable position lately and as she did she felt the the twins kicking under the pressure of James hand and smiled to herself. They were so active now. It was a good reminder of why she was doing what she was doing tomorrow. The thought made her smile falter a little. She was genuinely scared of what tomorrow might hold.July 2, 2017
James-Last Sunday at 5:07 PM
James woke with a start, hand on his chest as his wide-eye gaze stared at the ceiling. He breathed hard while he panted quietly and as he tried to remind himself it was a nightmare his hand still sought Ella. It was early morning, about ten minutes to go before his alarm beeped. James rolled to his side and did something he hasn't done since he was a little boy: seeking solace from a bad dream. His arm went around her body and he pressed himself against her, placing a hand on their twins. His heart thudded hard and he knew with time it'd pass.
Ella-Last Sunday at 5:44 PM
Ella was in a light sleep as her mind raced with all the scenarios that could happen that day so when she felt James stir and his hand on her, she blinked her eyes open. She placed her hand over his and asked in a sleepy voice,"What time is it?"
James-Last Sunday at 5:46 PM
His face pressed into her neck, finding much-needed comfort there. "Almost 6:30," he mumbled, not ready to get up or let her go. "When do you want to go to the office?"
Ella-Last Sunday at 5:55 PM
She sighed knowing that she'd have to get up soon to get to work on time; getting up had been getting harder and harder the further into pregnancy she got. "I'm going in regular time but I'm going to talk to him at lunch. So meet me at 12?" She couldn't believe this was happening ; willingly having J come to the office where Peter was. She snuggled against his hair, breathing in his scent and kissed the top of his head.
James-Last Sunday at 6:01 PM
This afternoon weighed on his mind. The nightmare he woke from related to it and how uncertain he was about keeping his cool around her boss. The man was a rapist in his eyes and he wants to rip his jugular out with his bare hands; just as he did in the dream, but he knew that wasn't a solution. El getting out of there was the best plan. "Will I be in the office with you?" His arm protectively went around her and he kept her close to his body.
Ella-Last Sunday at 6:17 PM
Ella shook her head wildly,"Not in his office no, just in the building, but hang close.. I don't want him to know you're there but I want you close enough so if..." she trailed off knowing J knew the rest. Ella cleared her throat, her heart was beating faster the more she thought of it.
James-Last Sunday at 8:14 PM
James could feel himself tense because he didn't want there to be any ifs. He wanted that asshole to act an adult and be fine with her going to another firm. He didn't want his El to feel she was in an unsafe situation, one with her boss. The boss who took advantage of her time and again...James breathed out his mouth and nodded. "Yeah. I'll keep close but the second I hear him raise his voice I'm stepping into that office."
Ella-Last Sunday at 8:25 PM
There was an intensity in his voice and Ella knew he was getting worked up. She looped her arm around him, holding him close,"baby, I'm going to be okay. I'll call for you if things go in the wrong direction." Ella was hopeful that Peter would be understanding. Her legs tangled with his, "that is if I can ever get out of this bed.."
James-Last Sunday at 8:36 PM
"Why can't you call in and just tell him that you won't be around anymore?" he asked. He wasn't completely serious but he did want for her to avoid stress and the Peter situation was very stressful.
Ella-Last Sunday at 8:43 PM
"J..." Ella said tiredly. "You know I can't do that. I'm giving him two months to replace me but who knows, he may say to forget it and today could be my last day." The thought made a lump in Ellas throat.
James-Last Sunday at 8:56 PM
He wanted that to be the case. The idea of her at the office for another two months with a man who striked him as possessive unsettled James. He didnt' say anything afters she spoke, but his hand went up and down her arm. "I know," he finally spoke. "I just want you to be in a good place."
Ella-Last Sunday at 9:08 PM
"Soon, baby." Ella assured him. "Soon." She kissed his temple, just as the alarm went off. " I'll go put some coffee on for us." It was time. Ella couldn't think about it any more; the sooner it was over the better.
James-Last Sunday at 9:44 PM
James nodded after the kiss and rolled to sit up on his side of the bed. He knew she was nervous about this and he needed to be her rock. James pressed his hands on either sides of his thighs and pressed his weight down to help him to his feet so he could get a shower running. His dream remained on his mind and he hoped he could keep his temper in check when it came to her saftey as he didn't need that dream to become a reality.
Ella-Last Sunday at 9:51 PM
Ella kept checking her watch. It was almost noon and she waited for the text that James was in their building. Once she got that she would go have the talk with Peter. She could no longer sit and she paced her large office; the carpet muting the sound of her Jimmy Choo heels. She wanted to cry and yell and tell him off all at once. She had avoided him all morning to keep her from backing down. Ella smoothed her wrap dress over her belly, pulling her bravery from seeing the twins ultra sound picture on her desk; if she wouldn't do it for her, she had to for them.
James-Last Sunday at 10:14 PM
James had a helluva time getting to the office at noon, which he tried to keep Ella aware of because traffic was terrible at this hour. He made it, two minutes late, and shot a text to her as he stepped into the elevator. He'd been a wreck all morning, thinking of worst case scenarios and how he should handle them. Theo told him to take a rest and he would take care of everything at the shop. As the elevator door opened he went to the front desk and announced, in a low voice, that he was there to see Ella.
Ella-Last Sunday at 10:29 PM
As soon as the call came that James was there she knew if he came back there was a chance Peter would see him. Ella told them to keep him there and she would meet him. You're going to be fine, she willed herself. It's fine. With one long exhale Ella stepped out and started down the hall. She rounded the corner and saw J and she was only two doors away from Peters office. She gave him the smallest wave and passed Peters's closed door to embrace J but quickly so it wouldn't give him time to come out of his office . "Just stay right here, his office is just a few down." Ella could hear the blood coarsening through her ears. She leaned up and kissed James. "I'll be right back."
James-Last Sunday at 11:25 PM
James thought he would go to her office at least, that way he wasn't too far from Peter's but when she said he was to stay there, well, that took him by surprise. "Okay," he said because he knew this needed to be done delicately. His hands went to her waist and he pressed a kiss at her forehead. "Remember. If he does anything that crossed the line," he looked into her eyes, brow wrinkled slightly. He was serious when he spoke but he also made certain to keep his voice low for only her to hear, "you come get me. I don't want him saying or doing anything to put stress on you, baby."
Ella-Last Sunday at 11:34 PM
The way Ella kept switching plans was only more of a sign that she was nervous as she always had a plan. She was always in charge and now here she was floundering. She nodded vigorously, "I will I promise." Leaning forward she kissed him quickly, and gave his arms a squeeze, "two minutes." She tried to say causally. Ella slowly turned and headed down the hall a few doors to Peters where she knocked and poked her head in, "Hey, do you have a minute?"
James-Last Sunday at 11:48 PM
Peter was distracted by a phone call, earpiece full of chatter regarding a deal that didn't go smoothly. There was no fault from their firm but the person on the line was grasping at straws to finger point. Peter turned in his seat and saw she was there. Ever since she opted to not terminate the pregnancy he kept his distance. She was cozied up with her boyfriend and he preferred to have nothing to do with them. There was a momentary fear when he pieced together the time frame and wondered if he were the father of the aboninations but nothing was brought to his attention and he let it go. So, when he saw her in the doorway, he turned in his seat and acted as if he hadn't heard her.
Ella-Last Sunday at 11:58 PM
Ella swallowed, she couldn't let him intimidate her. She slid the rest of her body through, needing a wider entrance than normal to accommodate her stomach. She walked up behind one of the leather seats and placed her hands on it. Noticing he was talking she cleared her throat but didn't interrupt not wanting to piss him off right off the bat.July 4, 2017
James-Last Tuesday at 3:29 AM
Peter didn't turn in his seat, speaking into the receiver instead. "Look Frank. If that's how you feel then that's how you feel. When you have actual proof to back up these allegations, then come at me. Until then I'm wasting my time listening to you." He hung up the phone and didn't turn around to face her. "What is it?"
Ella-Last Tuesday at 5:13 AM
Ella was quiet for a minute; did she make small talk? Did she come right out with it? She didn't want to lose her nerve but didn't want to be too blunt. Ella licked her lips trying not to be discouraged he wasn't facing her. Maybe for the best. "Peter, I know I'm technically scheduled for maternity leave in two months but," her hands were sweating against the leather," I'm formally giving you my two months notice. I -- I won't be coming back."
James-Last Tuesday at 12:55 PM
This was rich. Fucking rich. He put up with her pregnancy because he didn't want to deal with a lawsuit, but now this pregnancy cost him one of his best. Peter didn't speak for two solid minutes, staring at his filing cabinent while his jaw clenched. "Why?" he asked in a dead pan tone.
Ella-Last Tuesday at 1:12 PM
It was so quiet. Too quiet. She was sure he could hear her heart about to beat out of her chest. She was about to say his name when he finally spoke. His question was logical but it stopped her. "Why?" She repeated. "I think it's just time." She started. "I got an offer from another firm and I think I should take it; it will allow me more time with the twins when they come." And because you fucking sexually assaulted me, she added silently. At least what she said was part of the truth.
James-Last Tuesday at 1:17 PM
Peter turned in his seat and faced her for the first time. This wasn't the first instance he'd seen her pregnant body, thinking how much of a waste this was as she was never going to have that tight ass he loved to slap so much in passing. He kept leaned back and shook his head. "You haven't had them yet and they are already ruining your career," he said quietly.
Ella-Last Tuesday at 1:29 PM
"Then just be thankful they aren't yours to worry about." Ella snapped at him, wearing a fake smile. She needed to get them back on track. "Look," she began clearing her throat, "just let me know the steps you need me to take to prepare our clients for my departure."
James-Last Tuesday at 7:17 PM
Peter rose to his feet and laid both hands on the desk. "Why is it time, Ella? You owe me an answer instead of this bullshit response. You've been a part of this firm for years and now, with this-this -this thing," he waved at her stomach, "you suddenly want to go to another firm?"
Ella-Last Tuesday at 7:32 PM
When Peter stood instinctively Ella took a step back. She couldn't tell him the truth; that she was scared for her safety and for the babies safety in turn. That her and J had talked about endlessly and he all but forbade her from working here. Ella searched her brain for a PC answer but couldn't gather her thoughts. "Because.." she stumbled out lamely. She tried again this time trying it a different angle. "I know you don't like that I'm pregnant so I thought I was helping things."
James-Last Tuesday at 8:17 PM
"No. I don't. You never struck me as a mother type and I thought you would have taken care of the matter as soon as you realized your little accident. Instead here you are, throwing away your career to go to a second-rate firm because you want to live out a fairybook life with a blue-collar man who can never live up to your preferred lifestyle. I never pegged for you for a woman who settles, Ella. You are better than this."
Ella-Last Tuesday at 8:42 PM
He knew how to cut her; what to say to break her. She listened as he rattled off all the things she knew he and everyone else probably felt about her. She willed herself not to let him make her cry - he had never seen her cry before- but was losing the battle with each passing moment. "We're happy, which is probably more than you can say." She said more bravely than she felt but she kept her eyes on him. She wondered what he'd do if he knew James was just a few doors down. She felt a tightness coursing through her stomach and pressed a hand to. Not now she silently begged.(edited)
James-Last Tuesday at 9:14 PM
Peter took this opportunity to walk around and near her. "Are you happy? Giving up your career, because that's what you're doing. You tell yourself now that you'll return in two months but you'll see that option slip to three months. Half a year. Two years." He knew work meant everything to her and he didn't want to see this woman throw it away. "You're not the white picket fence type with the man who takes care of you while you play housewife. That's not you."
Ella-Last Tuesday at 9:24 PM
Ella stood still as a statue as he neared her, feeling herself freeze up. He was speaking her biggest fear about having the babies; that she would in fact get so caught up she would forget about her professional goals. She was losing her temper. She could feel her blood boiling and her heart breaking all at once. He was the reason she was really leaving and here he was pinning it on the life inside of her. "YOU messed this up for me, " Ella broke , speaking through clenched teeth, a few tears escaping. "if you hadnt--" she stopped herself, catching her words. She needed to stop. Plus, one of the twins was leaning against her ribs and she wasnt sure what was making it hard to breath; that or the fact that Peter was so close to her.(edited)
James-Last Tuesday at 10:11 PM
"Me? What the hell did I do?" he asked with a straight face. "I've given you nothing but opportunity. I trained you. I groomed you. You should be thanking me for the level of success you've reached. Not blaming me for your own mistake."
Ella-Last Tuesday at 10:14 PM
She couldnt answer him, she couldnt bring herself to utter the words and the way he looked at her like she was crazy... "You're fucking insane." Ella cried shaking her head, sniffling. "That you can stand there and act like you've done nothing wrong."(edited)
James-Last Tuesday at 10:40 PM
James kept an attentive ear during his wait in front of the receptionist's desk. The woman who was there went to do something so it was James and a magazine but then he heard some muffled voices. He couldn't tell if things were getting heated but he moved to another chair to get closer. As soon as he heard what sounded like Ella dropping a swear he tossed the magazine down and went to the door, pushng it open. He didn't need to knock because this should have been a simple notice "Is everything okay in here?"
Ella-Last Tuesday at 10:46 PM
Ellas head whipped in the direction of the door and her stomach hit the floor. Jesus Christ. Her mouth moved but nothing came out. Finally, in a low voice, " It's fine, J." Her hands moved to her neck as she felt herself over heating; her heart was in her throat. She had not wanted Peter to know James was here and she couldnt think of a worse possible scenario than the one that was unfolding in front of her now.
James-Last Tuesday at 10:50 PM
The door pushed open and Peter was about to say, "Not now," but it wasn't his receptionist. It was the boyfriend who came in between he and Ella. The one who ruined whatever future he could have had with her. His teeth gritted together and he eyed James coldly. "You better listen to her," he didn't move from his place. "Leave. This conversation is between she and I." Peter knew better than getting into a physical altercation in his office. But he readied for more if it came down to it.James didn't think it was fine, able to see the distress in El's eyes. He wanted to calm down and back away but Peter looked as if he were wanting to egg him on. The memory from his nightmare returned; how this asshole was basically hurting his woman and laughing about it the whole time until he fucking killed him with his bare hands. James didn't like the way he spoke to him and he went around and stood in front of El, blocking her from him. "Did you tell him what you needed to say?" he asked, not saying a word to Peter.
Ella-Last Tuesday at 10:56 PM
Ella couldnt take her eyes off James and watched as he rounded in front of her. She stood there like a deer in the headlights and nodded slowly at his question, her mouth gaping a bit "Y-yeah, yes." She had said everything she had needed to.July 5, 2017
James-Last Wednesday at 10:12 AM
James nodded and looked at Peter. "Then what else do you need from her?" His hand went behind him and he placed it on her thigh, trying to provide a sort of comfort but he knew this situation wasn't a simple one. Things could plummet quick.Peter looked to the doorway and there were already a couple of people who walked past it a few times, aware there was an incident in the office. He kept his calm, however on the inside he was furious. If the door was closed he would take a different approach but this firm had a reputation to uphold and he couldn't risk bad press. However this was far from over and his eyes returned to the mechanic, stare as cold as ice. "Nothing." He didn't shift his eyes from him. "Clear your desk. I want you gone before the lunch hour is over."
Ella-Last Wednesday at 1:22 PM
Her eyes ticked between both men as they spoke and then Peter did the worst thing he could in that situation and tore every thing Ella had worked for out from under her in two simple sentences. Hot tears burned at her eyes, "But what about--" she wavered off not able to speak getting over come with grief. She felt out of control, like the men in her life were vying for power and she stood there dumb and pregnant. Ella had never experienced such a feeling before. At least she knew that James was coming from a place of love but in the moment the powerful feeling she had always prided herself on was gone.
James-Last Wednesday at 2:04 PM
"Whatever you're working on will be handled." He said, already making a mental note to learn which firm offered her a position and to make certain to have a talk with them. "Leave my office or I will have security escort you out." Peter broke contact now and went to the door, opening it wide and hoping people heard what he said. This should rob her of her last shred of dignity.James readied for more but what happened caught him off guard. Was she just fired or told to not finish her two months at the law firm. He looked at Peter as he went away and then to her. He didn't know if this was it or she wanted to do something else
Ella-Last Wednesday at 3:17 PM
Ella wanted to beg to stay; she deserved it. And now she had to walk out of there like she was the monster. Her hatred for that man had never been so strong. Without another word Ella turned, blasting past Peter and taking off for her office. Once inside she barely could see through the tears spilling down onto her cheeks. She grabbed the only things she wanted from the office - her lap top and the picture of the twins ultra sound and a photobooth picture of her and James. Everything else could rot as far as she was concerned. She shoved the items into her large purse; her coordination off from her crying and the picture fell. Ella scrambled for it, her stomach making it difficult and let out an angry groan as she stood back up. She needed to get out of there.
James-Last Wednesday at 3:21 PM
James followed past her, purposely bumping hard against Peter's shoulder and giving the man a look that said he'd take care of him one of these days. He made the walk slow and deliberate, wanting this man to know that this wasn't the last he was to see his face. James went towards the Ella's office and as she left it the picture dropped and he saw her down, gathering everything. "El," he said quietly, getting down there with her, "Baby," he kept his voice low because people at work didn't need to hear him address as that. "I've got it. Get to your feet."
Ella-Last Wednesday at 3:46 PM
"DONT." Ella bellowed, around her sobs. "Don't tell me what to do." Still she got to her feet and left it for him. She grabbed the handles to her purse and didn't even give the office she had spent the last few years of her life in one last look. Ella flew down the hall, head low as she passed her coworkers. The lead member of her team stepped out ,"Ella what's going on?!" She just shook her head and kept on going. She knew she'd have time to explain it later and couldn't bare one more second in that place.
James-Last Wednesday at 11:23 PM
When Ella snapped at him, James stared dumbly. His hand hung between his knees while his other was on the floor gathering all the broken fragments from the picture frame. She was gone before he could regain his composure and he hurridly got everything up, nicking his fingeres a few times before trying to find where she went. Ella took her own car in this morning and he remembered where she parked, but he wasn't sure if she would leave without seeing him first.July 6, 2017
Ella-Last Thursday at 12:16 AM
She stood at the elevators and pounded the down arrow. When the doors opened there was one other woman in it and Ella went to the back corner to try and compose herself. The woman asked if she was okay as Ella put her wait on the railing and hissed through her teeth at the same sharp pain she'd been having. She managed to nod through it. The moment the doors opened again Ella took off toward the garage but her feet were aching, her pelvis in pain and she finally had to stop the moment the entered the garage. Her sobs echoed through the otherwise quiet garage as she leaned her back against the wall and brought her hands up to cover her wet face and cry into them.
James-Last Thursday at 12:24 AM
When James reached the elevators they had just closed and he pressed the button for the other one. This elevetor was down in the lobby and would take time to reach this floor, as there were a lot of offices in this building. He went to a small trash can between the elevators and discarded the broken pieces of frame and decided to take the stairs. By the time the door closed he heard the elevator ding and cursed his luck. Today did not go according to plan. Not at all. James hoofed it down the stairs and when he reached the parking level, he pushed through it and looked around. Was he even on the right level? He was about to turn on his heel when he heard what sounded like cries. James moved away from the door and tried to track down the sound, finding the source against a wall. James went over to Ella and he placed his arms around her. "I'm sorry," he said. The words felt inadequate and he partially blamed himself for what she was going through.
Ella-Last Thursday at 7:38 AM
"Are you?" She bit back. "Because you got exactly what you wanted."Ella continued to cry and shook her head. "Everything in my life got fucked up when I met you. I -- I can't do this any more." Ella knew in her heart the words weren't true or fair but there wasn't much rational in her brain at the moment. Fueled by her anger, Ella shoved at James arms, "I need some time."
James-Last Thursday at 8:56 AM
James didn't expect this from her and when she shoved his arms away and said those very words he didn't think he would ever hear; he just stood there. Stood there holding a picture of their babies. He knew this was anger. She basically lost the job she loved and had to make changes. A lot of them. He still had his business. He was selling his home but that was basically it. She got a new house, lost her job and her body was going through a lot. He couldn't even find it in him to get angry with her. He felt his anger at the man upstairs. "Let me drive you somewhere at least. I don't want you driving when you're this upset."
Ella-Last Thursday at 9:02 AM
"No, no." She said with finality. "I'm fine." She wasn't. "Just leave me alone." Ella couldn't look at him. Hurting the man she was in love with. She started for her car, unable to take it any longer.July 7, 2017
James-Yesterday at 2:28 PM
This was hard. He'd been in fights before. He and Brandi had many. But this was their first real one and she was very pregnant with their babies. James, true to his over caring a protective ways, said "No. Let me drive you." He followed her to the car.
Ella-Yesterday at 2:42 PM
"James!" Ella yelled, turning to face him. " Go away! Did you not see what just happened?! Everything I've worked for - everything- was just taken away from me in one second! He kicked ME out like I was the monster - after what he did to me! You should have left me alone! I had it under control! " She ran a shaky hand through her hair; she felt light headed and her eyes were swelling from the crying. "Just leave me alone!"
James-Yesterday at 3:18 PM
"I get you're pissed, Ella. But what makes you think that guy wouldn't have made your last two months hell? You were supposed to be in and out when you saw him. I heard you get upset and reacted. This isn't the type of stress you need." He stepped away from her when he wanted to pull her into his arms but he was getting angry that she chose to go after him with her anger. "I'll be at the house," he turned on his heel and headed in the direction of the elevators.
Ella-Yesterday at 4:36 PM
She would not be going back to his house. SHe wasnt sure where , but she just needed to be alone. Ella got in her car, slamming the door after her. She took a moment to collect herself, to breathe. After a few moments Ella pulled out of the garage and started driving. Not really sure where yet but that didn't matter. The silence was forgiving and the motion kept calmed her. At this rate she would never stop.
Tagging: Ella Jameson & James Harrington
When: 6/16/17
Where: The doctor’s office
Notes:
James-06/16/2017
"Baby?" James called from the shower, eyes closed while his hands were in his hair. There was soap on his face and he couldn't see anything. "El," he called out once more. They were at his house and he finished packing his entire garage and needed a shower due to how sweaty and greasy he got. He didn't know if Ella was taking a nap somewhere or on the phone. He didn't move for a couple seconds before resuming his shower.
Ella-06/16/2017
Ella was sitting on the floor in the living room, legs crossed as she sorted through some of James belongings. Rocky sat next to her, dozing in and out. God it seemed like the packing would never end. She heard J's faint call for her and yelled back, not getting up, "What?"June 17, 2017
James-06/17/2017
James turned the water off and pulled a towel from the hook next to the shower. "Aren't you supposed to hear back about the results today?" They'd been busy with packing that he couldn't remember if this was the day or sometime next week. The towel went to his face and then his body, patting everything dry while water dripped from the ends of his long hair.
Ella-06/17/2017
"Today or tomorrow they said. Don't worry I have my phone next to me." Ella could hardly think about it without having her stomach knot up. A matter of fact she could hardly sleep the night before wondering what the results would be.
James-06/17/2017
James wrapped the towel around his waist and went down the hallway, stopping short when he reached the living room. She was in the midst of all of his shit and he looked down at a photo album and bent down to pick it up. "I hope it's today. That way we can know for certain and move on. Not that it changes anything." It was more for peace of mind than anything. James opened the cover and and saw his baby picture. He hadn't seen this since he moved into this house.
Ella-06/17/2017
Ella looked up at hearing james and couldnt help but check out his half naked body. She nodded, "Yeah, the sooner the better would be great." she agreed, stopping the packing and peeking into the book James was looking at. A helpless smile crossed her face, "You were a beautiful baby." she commented.
James-06/17/2017
"You took a look at this?" He asked, flipping through the next few pages while he halfway took in the pictures. He'd seen them all before. There were picture of him as a toddler and playing with a neighbor kid in a small swimming pool. There were pictures of him missing teeth and grinning wide. Others where he had his first puppy, before it was given away.
Ella-06/17/2017
She shook her head,"No only just now. You were so cute." A pang of anxiety hit her as she stopped herself from asking if she thought their babies would look like him. "I've been so in the zone of getting everything in boxes. The movers will be here wednesday and I know we need to have all the small stuff ready to go. "June 18, 2017
James-06/18/2017
"What do you mean 'were'? I like to think my cuteness carried over into my adulthood." He moved to lower the album to show El more pictures. "I think my high school prom picture is in this one," he said as he turned more pages, hearing the noise of the plastic crinkle with each flip. Towards the back he found a few pictures of him as a teenager. There were some of friends he hadn't talked in a long time. There were others with buddies he saw at the bar. He kept going until he found the picture of him in a white tux and baby blue bow tie. He stood by himself, sporting something which closely resembled a mullet and a bigger than life grin. "Guess you can say this is blackmail material if you ever need it." he laughed.
Ella-06/18/2017
"Yes baby of course it did." Ella laughed, too hard actually as the babies started moving and leaning on her sciatica. She held on to her side as she continued laughing, "Oh my God! J! Okay tell me the truth, did you get laid that night?"
James-06/18/2017
James laughed with her. He knew then he needed a haircut and never got around to it. "Isn't there a saying that goes, what happens on pr-" James was laughing again and unable to finish that sentence. "Oh man," he closed the album and set it on the surface of a box, "Maybe I did. Once I lost the jacket and bow tie I looked good. Especially when I showed my dance moves," he took her hand and kissed at her knuckles. "I'd give a demonstration but only if you feel like being swept off your feet."June 19, 2017
Ella-06/19/2017
"You don't remember? How wild were you!?" Ella laughed, her brows raising. She watched him take her hand, "I bet you had all the ladies and not just because of your dance moves or cute face but because you're smooth as hell." She nodded to her belly, that was exposed as she wore James button down opened over a black bralette and a pair of his black boxer briefs, "you wanna dance with this?"
James-06/19/2017
"The night is a complete blur. There was a lot of alcohol and my friends got a couple hotel rooms. I know I had a good time." He shrugged and smiled. "There were a couple girls who'd been after me all year and I remember hanging out with them," Did he hook up with both of them? He remembered kissing them, the girls more than happy to share him. God, he lived quite the life at eighteen. "I think we're both dressed appropriately for a dance. You in my clothes and me in a towel. Or am I overdressed?" He hooked a thumb at his towel and pretended he was about to drop it.
Ella-06/19/2017
Ella shook her head smiling, "You player! I went with Bradway Archibald - my high school steady. We had a blast. We were prom king and Queen." She recalled fondly. Ella smiled up at him, knowing it would be a sight for sore eyes to see him naked. I could always do--- this!" She gave the towel a yank so it pooled on the floor. She wiggled her eye brows, "well helloooo there!"
James-06/19/2017
"What type of name is Bradway? Was he a part of those fancy families that go to expensive restaurants and eat dinner off gold plates?" James teased her with a grin and before he could do or say anything else, the towel was gone and he stood completely nude in his living room. If she wasn't pregnant he'd have scooped her over his shoulder and taken her to the bedroom but all he could do now was look down at himself and consider playfully making himself move as a means of saying hello back. He didn't buy the idea amused him. "Just know it's saying hi," he laughed and went to pull her in close.
Ella-06/19/2017
"It's a handsome name!" Ella defended. "He was so sweet and I was so awful to him ." She recalled how she had dumped him to spread her wings in college and left him broken hearted. Ella smirked,"I'm sure he is, he's always very polite to me." Ella held on to his arms and kissed at his warm bare chest. "You should get dressed and then help me get this packed up. Maybe we'll find more pictures of you for me to blackmail you with.." she thought better of it, "or not get dressed but still help me pack." Ella giggled. She would have offered to show her embarrassing pictures but she had paid movers to box and move out her entire town home. Most of all their furniture was being sold or stored away as Ella wanted new furniture that would fit the house perfectly.
James-06/19/2017
"I'd that's what you consider handsome then I'm glad I came along when I did or the babies would have wound up with some weird name. The type that are guaranteed to get picked on in school," he said. "Now James? That's a strong name. The type of name you know will go along with a good looking guy. Like me," he stepped away from her, but before doing so he nipped her neck. "I better put pants on at least. Don't want to risk injury. That'd be terrible for the both of us."
Ella-06/19/2017
"heyyy!" Ella frowned giving James a little shove. " He was a good boy!" She shook her head, an adoring grin on her face," Hoo boy, listen to this. But I cant disagree..." Ella cupped his package before he pulled away, "Yeah I have scissors. Good call." She watched him walk down the hall shamelessly checking him out.
James-06/19/2017
"Are you sure you're over him? I can look him up on Facebook and see what he's up to. Maybe he's still pining away for you?" James' felt her hand on him and he wanted to encourage more but the mention of scissors set him on the path to the bedroom. "Up for going on a walk with me and Rock? He needs one," James called out as he pulled a clean pair of boxers on.
Ella-06/19/2017
"Oh I'm sure I've very desirable to him right now. Uptight lawyer, expecting twins. Sorry, you're stuck with me." She called to him. Ella frowned, "A walk? That means I have to get dressed like a human." she whined.June 20, 2017
James-06/20/2017
"You're not as uptight as you think. Not when I'm around." James entered the room wearing jeans and a plain white shirt, hair damp and loose from his shower. "Come on, El. It'll just be around the block," he lowered and placed his arms around his dog, "and how can say no to this face?" James placed his cheek against Rocky's and raised it so they were both looking at her; James with a pitiful expression.
Ella-06/20/2017
At seeing their faces Ella let out an exasperated sigh,"Alright. I'll go change." She grumbled. She headed back to go find some real clothes. "We shouldn't put off packing," she called back over her shoulder,"it's never going to ---" Ella was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She froze and then slowly turned looking back at J. "Oh my god. Is it them?" She flew back down the hall and started at her phone on the coffee table. The number wasn't recognized which she figured was a good sign it could be the lab. "Should-- should I answer?" Suddenly it occurred to Ella that if she knew for sure and it wasn't what they hoped for, her dreams of having them be J's biologically were dashed officially.
James-06/20/2017
James gave Rock's side a good couple pats and he went to grab his dog's leash. As he heard the phone ring Ella hurried past him and James went into the kitchen with her. His stomach was in sudden knots and as much as he braced himself for this moment, he could still feel those nerves. "You should," the leash wrapped around his hand a few times and he got close to her. Ready for whatever may come.
Ella-06/20/2017
Ella grabbed her cell phone and answered. She had specifically asked them to call her instead of waiting for the results via mail. Quickly she put the call on speaker phone so James could hear everything too. They listened to the blood specialist on the other side of the phone confirm that James was the biological father. The call was quick and deliberate and Ellas hand shot over her mouth as the woman on the other spoke. Her knees felt weak and her whole body seemed to be vibrating in emotion. With a small thank you Ella hung up and looked at James bursting into tears
James-06/20/2017
James prayed the babies were his. He knew in his heart he'd love them as if they were his blood, but the confirmation felt like someone pumped him full of joy because he felt the biggest smile form and he didn't think he would ever stop. His eyes swam with tears of his own as he went to pull her to his chest. James' damp lips pressed against her forehead and hair, feeling like the luckiest man at that very moment.
Ella-06/20/2017
Ella cried happy relived tears against his chest unable to speak at the moment. It felt like the biggest weight was lifted off of her. Her kids would grow up with their actual father; the one who deserved them.
James-06/20/2017
James continued to kiss her, hands cupped Ella's cheeks and he brought theirs lips together; able to feel the wetness her tears left behind. "I knew they were ours. I knew it," he kissed her once more and pressed his forehead to hers. Their noses bumped momentarily and he let out a deep sigh; the kind that one released after they endured such a hard situation and they finally were granted a sense of relief.
Ella-06/20/2017
"I'm so happy." Ella cried. "For the first time this while pregnancy I feel okay." Her hand went to the top of her belly and she rubbed it affectionately. "They're ours, j. We made them." In that truth, the hold that Peter had on her didn't seem so strong; she felt braver.
James-06/20/2017
They did. Something that they were completely careless with turned into such an important moment in their lives and James continued to feel wetness along his lashes. This was a relief for them, that they could no move forward and know for certain that Peter will be completely in the past soon. That there would be nothing to tie to him and that gave James a tremendous sense of comfort. He moved from her and got down to his knees, placing his hands on either sides of Ella's stomach and saying, "You hear that guys. I'm your dad," he looked up at her and leaned forward to press a couple kisses there.
Ella-06/20/2017
Ella's heart swelled with happiness, no admission had ever sounded better. She ran her hand through his hair, smiling down at him adoringly. No matter what had been said on that call Ella would have claimed James as their father but now, knowing they were in every way his, made her smile harder then ever.
James-06/20/2017
James kissed her stomach again and pressed his cheek to it as he wrapped his arms around her as best as he could to hug. "I'm glad this call came after I got dressed. I'd had to tell this story and have me naked." he laughed and added, "Not that I can imagine us retelling this to anyone but, well, you get what I'm trying to say," he let go and moved to get to his feet, taking her hand and bringing El with him to the living room. Rocky followed them into it but he kept going until he found his bed in the corner of the room. His walk was long forgotten. "Lets take a break from packing. I want to enjoy this a little longer."June 21, 2017
Ella-06/21/2017
"You don't think it would have been more special with your penis out?" Ella laughed, still threading her fingers into his blonde locks. It was true, Ella wasn't sure who she'd ever share this story with; maybe her sister some day, maybe her best friend down the line but for now it stayed close to the chest. When he stood, she followed him into the living room, giving a nod,"definitely. This deserves to be celebrated."
James-06/21/2017
"My penis has gotten enough attention when we bought the house. Can't let the guy be involved in too much or he'll get a big ego," James sat down and pulled Ella to come sit on his lap but then second guessed it and lured her to sit next to him. "I imagine being on my lap wouldn't be the most comfortable place for you."
Ella-06/21/2017
Ella didn't think he could ever have too much attention but she digressed. He was right about his lap because her belly made it a little hard so she snuggled up next to him, her stomach resting atop his his. She draped her arm over him, loving the feel of him being close. The babies were stirring and she could feel them bounce around inside of her; it was as if they were celebrating too.
James-06/21/2017
When she got close James decided to lean into her a little more before resting his chin on top of her head. He was smiling. He'd been smiling since the results came in, and he wished he took a picture or video or something to remember this moment. But it was tucked away in his mind to recall at random moments. His hand went to her stomach and he felt the action happening underneath his palm and against his stomach. "They're having a blast in there." he laughed. "Think they're playing? Tell you the truth I don't know if they can in there."
Ella-06/21/2017
"I hope they're playing and not like, battling or something." She laughed. "They probably can for now but once they get a little bigger they'll be too squished." She watched her stomach and saw the little waves and bumps of her skin from them pressing against her.
James-06/21/2017
"If they're battling then we have one hell of a challenge coming our way. Can you imagine the yelling and fights?" He laughed but he knew there was the possibility and sighed, "I hope we have chill kids. I don't want to be that dad who's hard on them," his hand went along her stomach, trying to figure out what was happening in there.
Ella-06/21/2017
"I mean I'm sure they'll fight but hopefully not more times then they'll be sweet to each other." Ella looked down hopeful at her stomach. "Can you imagine the terrible twos times two?" She laughed. "God, J, what did we get ourselves into?"June 22, 2017
James-06/22/2017
"Fuck," his hand went through his hair and James scratched the back of his head. "Everything. Times two. Think we have it in us to handle this?" Not like they had a choice because they will get through it but Jesus. "Once again my cock is in the spotlight for this one. Getting us into this little pickle."
Ella-06/22/2017
"Well, whether we do or not- they're coming." Ella said with an exasperated look on her face. "Yeah well who knew you were going to shoot off twins into me. He needs to be tamed." Her hand ran over his lap.
James-06/22/2017
"I sure as hell didn't. I'm glad it stopped at twins and not triplets but there's no guarantee we're out of the woods yet. Never know if my swimmers will try to one up things and get us with even more kids. Then I'm pretty sure you'll kill me." His eyes went down to her hand and he smirked, "Careful, El..." his gaze returned to her and winked. "Might give him ideas."(edited)
Ella-06/22/2017
"Jesus! Yes, I will absolutely kill you - or at the very least cut that power dick of yours off and bronze it so we know it can't have any more children!" She shuttered, "It would be sad because it's definitely been the best one to me but, I can't have 50 kids all the same age." Ella directed her attention to his crotch," You hear that? That's a promise." She laughed as she pinched his shaft.
James-06/22/2017
Oh god the laughter which poured out of him was so hearty and loud that he almost missed out on the 50 kids comment. "I'll get things fixed in my area before that eve-" and the he made an unexpected noise when she pinched him and he placed his hand on her wrist and pulled Ella close for a kiss: still feeling a type of tingle where her fingers were. There was some pain but he was too amused to think a lot about it.
Ella-06/22/2017
"You laugh because you think I'm kidding, but I assure you - I am not!" She laughed with him, nuzzling her nose against his when he pulled her close. She closed the distance between their mouths, her hand going up to cup his face as she placed a firm kiss against his soft lips.
James-06/22/2017
"I know you're kidding because you will miss it too much. I can only satisfy you so much with my mouth before you want more of me. The part they requires to stay attached to my body," James kissed her back, but it was too swift for his liking so he put his hand on the back of her head and went in for another.
Ella-06/22/2017
"Will I? Will I miss it if you've impregnated me with 50 children, J?" Ella still giggled. Fuck she knew he was right and she didnt fight against another kiss.June 23, 2017
James-06/23/2017
"I know you will." His hand went to her thigh while they kissed and James had to say, "I bet even with fifty kids you'll still have a smoking hot body," he wanted to bring her to his lap but he had to keep with having her next to him.
Ella-06/23/2017
"Just to clarify, we are not having fifty kids." Ella smiled against his mouth. "But thank you, baby. As long as you think I'm hot that's all that matters to me." Ella knew even pregnant she looked good with her tan, smooth skin and perfectly round, albeit large, breasts and baby bump but it had still been hard for her to accept her changing body a little.
James-06/23/2017
"I don't think I can handle that many in the first place. Maybe five at most. But even then I think it's pushing it." James hand went across those very smooth tanned legs and he leaned over to kiss her collarbone. "Want to go out and celebrate the good news?"
Ella-06/23/2017
"Let's just get used to two first shall we? If they don't kill us, we can talk." It was funny to Ella to even hear herself talk like that. She had never seen herself with babies really but being pregnant and with J had really softened her to the idea of a bigger family. "I do, definitely. Maybe we can dress up and get all fancy?"
James-06/23/2017
"Okay. Hear me out. How about we do away with fancy and go get ribs? The saucy-" he raised his hands to speak with them, "type that are practically falling off the bone," he'd been craving them and he'd never seen her eat something like that before.
Ella-06/23/2017
Ella pulled back and made a face. "I don't eat meat with bones in it and plus they're so messy."
James-06/23/2017
There went his idea and he sighed, "The messy part is what makes it better," he said and he knew that there was a buttoned up shirt in his immediate future. "What are you feeling?"
Ella-06/23/2017
She made a face,"Um, maybe another time..I could go for some good Italian. Like chicken parm with linguini and some warm garlic bread - not sticks, bread. Can you find us a place with bread?"June 24, 2017
James-06/24/2017
"Love how specific you are about this. Don't like Olive Garden's breadsticks?" He nuzzled his bearded face into her neck while his hand smoothed down her thigh. "I know an Italian restaurant that should give you what you're after," his lips brushed her skin as he talked.
Ella-06/24/2017
Ella thought about it, "I've never been to an Olive Garden. But, the babies want bread not breadsticks so we need to give them what they want!" Ella squirmed as his beard scratched her skin, "you know it's getting too long right? I meant to tell you last night that you need to trim it; I think I have beard burn on my vagina." Focusing back on the food, Ella brightened, "do you? Awesome, lets check it out then."
James-06/24/2017
James pulled from her and brought his hand to the beard. "It has?" His hand smoothed down it, stopping some inches past his chin and he stroked it a couple times. "If I had know it was chaffing your skin I would have shaved the whole thing off," He looked at her, "If a trim is enough then I'll get right on it. A full shave may require me to mourn a little before it happens." He dropped his hand and got to his feet, helping her up. "You might need to put pants on."
Ella-06/24/2017
"No no, don't shave the whole thing! I like your beard. And okay, the chaffing wasn't all terrible." Ella smirked. "But yea a little trim would be sexy." She took his outstretched hand," I think I'll wear a dress; try and look cute."
James-06/24/2017
"What's this try shit? You are cute," he paused, "Not exactly the type of word I choose to describe you because I think smoking and sexy are better adjectives but cute works, too." He stepped back and a box bumped against his leg. "I'll work on the beard while you get ready. I may decide to pull over somewhere and have a little dessert if I get a craving of my own."
Ella-06/24/2017
Ella loved his flirty nature and the way he found her sexy even when she didn't feel it. His pulling over comment Ella snorted in laughter and gave a roll of her eyes "oh my god, j! You can at least wait till we get home." She looked back over her shoulder,"And I won't even wear any underwear."
James-06/24/2017
Before he went to the bathroom, James paused and looked at her. "So you want me to wait but you won't wear panties? Something tells me you're not practicing patience either." He went back to her and brought his arms around her body. This was a lot easier before the twins came along but he managed to get what he was after; squeezing her ass and going in for one of those kisses that told her that he was going to make her feel fucking fantastic later. "You better hurry. I don't want to make a sudden restaurant change because they decided they want Indian food or something." He was looking forward to pizza or pasta now. Something with a lot of tomato sauce.

Notes:
James-05/19/2017
James wiped the grease from his hands and went to answer his office phone which was ringing off the hook the past two minutes. The rag dropped onto a stack of paper and he slid his fingers underneath the receiver. "Harrington Auto Shop," he spoke as he sat down. He wanted to groan because it felt good to give his feet and back a rest. "Oh. Yeah. Been busy," he said into the phone. "No," he kept going," He felt like sparking a cigarette but after El told him about the babies he made a conscious effort to not smoke. "Things are fine, man. I'll come by the bar later this week. Alright?" He hung up his phone right when Ella's car pulled up. He wanted to give it an oil change. James sat there for a moment. His friend knew something was up and James didn't want to tell him, or anyone, what Ella shared with him. But Chuck always had a way of uncovering the truth.
Ella-05/19/2017
Cruising around had proven to be getting harder and harder with the growing bump, but today was a good day where Ella was feeling herself. Carefully getting in to the BMW Ella drove it down to James' garage noting how much smaller the car seemed as she grew bigger and bigger. On the way she stopped for two ice coffees for them as it was a warm day. When she pulled in she cut the engine and got out, coffees in hand. Her bump led the way in her denim off the shoulder summer dress as she walked in to the shop. "Hey Theo, is James in the office?"
James-05/19/2017
Theo greeted Ella with a warm, welcoming smile. The man pointed to the office with a wrench. "He took a phone call," he told her in case he happened to still be on the phone. Theo set the wrench aside and walked to Ella's car. James told him what it needed done earlier in the day. James heard El's voice and he pushed the phone to the side and though to tidy his desk because he knew she'd give him an earful about his filing system. But he decided to hell with it. "I'm here, El!" he called out for her to come on in.
Ella-05/19/2017
Ella thanked Theo and balanced the coffees in one hand opening the door to James office. "Ya know, I think I need a bigger car. I kinda want a Rover.. what do you think?" Ella placed a coffee on his desk and kissed his cheek,"Hi baby, how's your day?"
James-05/19/2017
"A bigger car for you or one for the babies?" He asked, getting to his feet to kiss her hello. He picked up his coffee and set it away so he could sit on the corner of his desk, feeling a stack of paper push to the side. "Busy. Not overwhelming which is good." He chewed his lip a moment. "Got a phone call from a friend of mine. Someone I've known for a lot of years. He was getting ome about not being around."
Ella-05/19/2017
"Well for all of us. It will give you more leg room and more space for all the baby gear..." Ella shrugged, "We can keep the Beamer too. That can be our date night car or something." She moved so she was in between his legs and sipped on the cold drink, eyeing the papers that moved. She gave him a look but didn't say anything. Her head cocked to the side,"oh yeah? Anyone I've met?" She tried to read his vibe if this was bothering him.
James-05/19/2017
"I like how you sell the leg room for me," he placed his hands onto her hips and tried to ignore the way she looked past him. That look she gave said it all and he though to poke fun at it. But he decided to stick with the topic of his friend. "No. Chuck wasn't at the bar when you went there." He tried to think of a way to explain who he was, "Remember when I told you I went to jail and they discharged me because of a wrongful charge? This is the friend I was with that night. The one who was arrested for assault."
Ella-05/19/2017
"And they're so pretty.." Ella smiled with a her best pouty face. Of course she could buy one herself and would gladly get one for the family. But at James seemingly serious face Ella touched his chin lovingly,"Is he someone you should be hanging out with?" She questioned gently but seriously.
James-05/19/2017
James leaned back on his hands and eyed his girl, loving the way she smiled about the car. "Why do I get the impression you'll name this?" He asked, "Would it have one of those fancy names?" He picked up his drink and sipped from the straw. "And no. He's not. He has that way of knowing somethings on my mind. And after you told me about Peter I've had days it creeps back in there and angers me all over again. I don't need him to weasle that information out of me. A. It's private. B. I know he's push for some type of revenge shit." Not that James was opposed to that latter.
Ella-05/19/2017
"Name the car?" Ella thought about it delighted,"Maybe I can call that coco." She mused. But Ella's demeanor changed the more James spoke. She understood it angering James and how it found its way back in his thoughts - it certainly was on her mind more than she liked to admit seeing him day in and day out - but still. "I didn't tell you you that to torture you or to get revenge." Ella said pointedly. "I don't want this guy bringing you down, j. I need you. We need you."
James-05/19/2017
It was a good thing James stopped drinking when he did because the eye roll which followed her name choice would have caused him to sputter. He held the cup between his knees and looked down at it, pinching the straw to move up and down. "I know that wasn't your intention, baby. But you've got to understand you're my woman. I'm going to get into these moods where I want to protect you. Even when it comes to things that have happened." He let go of the straw and set the drink down beside him to take hold of her, unable to bring her in fully due to her bump. "Don't worry. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." He wanted to promise he wouldn't do anything stupid but he wasn't sure he could.
Ella-05/19/2017
Ella knew that being open with James would upset him and that had been part of the big struggle of how and when to tell him but now everything was out and she had no idea what he would do with this information. Nodding, she sipped on her coffee and let James pull her in more. His words bringing her more security than he realized as they still waited the results for the paternity test they took. Something felt unsettled and she couldn't put her finger on it.
James-05/19/2017
James went to take the coffee from her hand and set it next to his. There was no way to tell which was which without reading the sides of the cups. "How are you feeling?" he wanted to steer the conversation away from Chuck and anything involving Peter and focus on her.
Ella-05/19/2017
Ella searched his face for a moment before answering. She wasn't sure what to think of his subject change but didn't press and instead went along with it. "Pretty good. I've been feeling some flutters and I swear I felt a kick in the car after I ate that lemon pound cake." Ella looked down at her belly with a smile. "Im hoping they try and show off for daddy."
James-05/19/2017
"Does this mean I can't put my hand on your belly and tell one of them to kick for me?" He put his cool hand there anyway. Just in case they heard him. Could babies understand language already or was it all muffled sounds. Actually...it was better then or their kids would come out mimicking some of the words his El tended to say when they got good and hot in the bedroom. "I need to paint the nursery and put together the cribs this weekend." He said, hand remained on her stomach. "I'd hate for the room to be half finished by the time they come out."May 20, 2017
Ella-05/20/2017
"No no, you should; I want them to kick for you." Ella grinned. She took his hand and placed it a little lower to where she had felt the kick before. She looked up at him,"that sounds good, I'll help where I can but we could also hire a painter if you want?" It also lead back to their more involved conversation of where they would live. "Have you thought any more about looking into buying a new construction build in town?"
James-05/20/2017
James' hand went to it's new place and he massaged the area with the lightest of touches, more of a caress than anything. "I have," he admitted. "The thing with that is if you want it to be under my name or yours. We can change all of that later when we're married." he said this as if there was no question about it. His ex made her opinon very clear saying Ella got pregnant because she wanted to trap him in the relationship and we he told her he planned to marry her that set off a whole other stream of opinions. "That's if you still want to after the babies are here and you see how much I suck as a parent." James had to laugh at himself with this.
Ella-05/20/2017
"We could be co-signers?" Ella suggested. "And we may not even need a loan; between what we get for our places and what I have in my trust we should be more than able to cover it in cash." Ella started to feel the fluttering in her belly and covered J's hand with her own, applying pressure and giving him a look, "Please these poor kids are stuck with the both of us." She laughed with him.
James-05/20/2017
As he was about to add something his hand was guided further down and his mouth dropped open; which turned into an immediate smile. "Oh shit," he whispered. "That's what the kicks feel like?" he wanted to get off the desk and go eye level to be closer. James' whole face lit up and he couldn't get over this. That one of their kids was feeling active and he wonder if it was the boy or girl. Or if they took turns. "Does that tickle?"May 21, 2017
Ella-05/21/2017
"Don't swear," Ella laughed, knowing all too well that both of them had mouths on them. She nodded,"I've been feeling the flutters for a while but they're getting strong enough to feel them from the outside now." There was a sharp little kick against James' hand,"Oh! That was a big one!" Ella giggled, as she stared down at her stomach in awe. "It kind of feels like bubbles or something. It's crazy. Must be the coffee!"
James-05/21/2017
James gave her a look and he laughed. By God did he laugh. "You do know our kids are coming out knowing all the bad words, right? They probably hear enough of it already." The kicking stopped almost as soon as it started but he didn't move his hand. He could still feel a trace of it against his palm. "Bubbles? Like indigestion but it pack a punch?" he grinned and bent down to kiss her neck. "Okay. The house. I know we need to figure this out. Is there a neighborhood you have in mind?"
Ella-05/21/2017
Ella couldn't help but laugh harder,"I don't know what you're talking about." She teased before nodding,"Yeah exactly. It feels pretty cool. I like that it lets me know they're doing okay in there." Ella gave a happy sigh at his kiss,"Well, I like the one where the new construction house would be but it's a little far from downtown if I decide to go back to work." That reminded her of something but she shelved the thought for later. "Your house is cute but it's not big enough and my house just isn't kid friendly. I think we really need to consider building and that way we can customize it however we want too."
James-05/21/2017
"I've never been in a house that was made from one of those plans. My first house was one my parents moved into before their marriage went to shit," He covered his mouth and said sorry before splitting into a grin. Not like he would actually change his language. Not until they were out. "Then my house now is even older." He picked up his drink and went for a sip. "How long does it take to get one of those built?"
Ella-05/21/2017
Ella's brows raised when he swore but she wore a grin to show she wasn't upset and giggled when he apologized. Ella shrugged, "Only a couple months. Maybe less if we get one where the frames already been put up and just needs finishes." She sighed,"I know it's a lot to think about but I do want to have some kind of plan." Ella propped her arms on his shoulders. "You know I'm a planner. Maybe annoyingly so."
James-05/21/2017
"That's all it takes? I thought they'd need more time than that." He swore the house down the way from here took twice that amount of time. Either someone was slacking or they got a good set of builders at he place Ella was eyeing. He wouldn't put it past her to find the nicest place to live in. "It is. A lot of this has been a big change. A year ago it was just me and ol' Rock. Sometimes I went out most of the times I stayed in. Now it's us and we got two on the way and talking about a new house and car. It's like life fast forwarded for both of us."
Ella-05/21/2017
"Well, I mean, I'm sure we could be persuasive." Ella mulled it over in her head, money talked after all. She nodded in agreement; it was true, life had done a 180 for Ella. One of the biggest including her job. "Speaking of change, I got a call back from that firm I was looking into. They said if I decide to leave, they want me." Ella ran her fingers along the collar of James' shirt. "All of these things together get me a bit anxious to be honest, but I just try to keep telling myself it's all good changes; The house , the car, the job, the babies..." Ella looked at him,"what about you? Are you happy with the changes?"
James-05/21/2017
"We? I think the pesuasive one out of this pair is you. I just sit in the back and look pretty," He chuckled and placed his now empty cup on the desk. "No shit? I knew that that firm would want you. You're good at what you do and the sooner you're away from him the better." he kissed her lips but pulled away for a moment, "How do you feel about that firm? Are they one you like?" He hated how Peter treated her and there was that ever-present anger associated with him, but James did what he could to move past it. She didn't want to press charges and didn't want him to do anything to him. No matter how hard he struggled. "I'm happy, El. A bit scared but it's nothing we can't handle. I need to work on getting the house ready to sell so we can have that money for the new place. And I don't want you stressing too much over everything. But I think most of my fear is about how things will be after they get here. Other than taking care of my sister I don't know much about babies."May 22, 2017
Ella-05/22/2017
Ella threw her head back,"Oh right right. You're the beauty in this relationship I forget." She laughed. Moving around to sit in his chair after he kissed her, she nodded, "I like them, I think I'd be a good fit. Taking a pay cut but." She shrugged. "I think it's worth it." Ella played aimlessly with the arm of the chair,"I haven't even told Peter I'm looking for a new job. I don't know how that's going to go when I give him my notice." The thought made her so uneasy but she tried not to let it show on her face. "Well I can always pay for it up front and we can sort out the rest after your house sells so we don't have to wait around?" She offered. But feeling that same fear about once the twins were here was something very real to Ella too. "Baby, I haven't even changed a diaper. Not one. Ever. I think we should sign up for those birthing classes they talked about ... I bet they'd help us feel more confident and the next course starts in two weeks. You in?"
James-05/22/2017
"How could you? I think I should write the words 'The Beautiful' on my plain white undershirts. To serve as a daily reminder." He waited until she was in his chair to walk around it. James lowered and wrapped his arms around her. "By the way I'm kidding. Theo's the beautiful one. Let's be real." James kissed the side of her head and went to sit in front of her. "When do you plan to deliver the news? I can only imagine a man like him won't take it well," Would he try to sabotage her? The idea wouldn't surprise James considering how he tries to power play Ella. "If you're okay with doing that, then I think that'll be the best route. Houses haven't been selling that well in the neighborhood so I pray mine doesn't sit there long." James fingered a hole in his coveralls, feeling the firmness of his thigh underneath. "Yeah. We should do it. The earlier we get on it the better."
Ella-05/22/2017
Ella laughed at his tshirt design and then harder at Theo,"Oh my God you two." But she sobered a bit at the thought of telling Peter. "I want you to be there - not in the room, but close." She wanted the security of him around, not that she thought Peter would go after her again while she was pregnant. Though she wondered if James could be close to where Peter was without issue. She tried to sort that in her head but couldn't. Ella looked up at him with a soft smile,"look at us making big decisions. I'll get in touch with the contractor soon then and call the Lamaze instructor and tell her that we're in."
James-05/22/2017
"Have I ever told you how much I love your laugh," he admitted with a grin. "It's half the reason I say the stupid shit I do. To get you to laugh." James moved from the desk and walked to the door to open and check on Theo, who was in his own world. He finished with Ella's car and went on to another project. The guy was fine on his own and James closed the door. "I'll be there. I want to make sure he doesn't say or do anything to hurt you or our kids." He'd more than likely be on the other side of the door listening in, not giving a shit if people think that's overly protective. If they knew the type of man they worked for they would think he was doing the right thing. Hell they probably did and didn't speak up. "So. What is that now, with all the new things going on. The babies. Selling our places. Buying a house. The move. Lamaze classes. You leaving work and starting at a new firm after maternity leave." He whistled and shook his head. "It's not even June yet."
Ella-05/22/2017
"You have and it always makes me smile." Ella grinned back. She watched as he moved about, wondering if she upset him talking about work and Peter. "I just don't want him to know you're there. I feel like that would make things worse." Unless of course he needed to step in then by all means. "And dont forget my Rover." Ella unsuccessfully bit on her lip to keep from smiling.
James-05/22/2017
James grabbed a chair and brought it over to place in front of El, reaching over to grab the arms of his office chair to roll her close. "So I'm like the invisible body guard?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. He wanted Peter to know he was there. He wanted the man to sweat. Still why would he? He didn't know James' past or the fights he'd get into. He was a total stranger to him. "You're right. With a man like him he needs to feel as if he has the upper hand." James knew the type. As dispicable as he was he needed to watch his step. Ella's situation was fragile. "Do you think this is how it's going to be from now all? One change after the next? Or will it eventually settle and we just work on enjoying the things we added to our lives?"
Ella-05/22/2017
"I just dont want any trouble and I feel like telling him I'm not coming back after the babies are here is already going to have him ready to fly off the handle." Ella looked at J, sure he could see the conflict of emotion in her eyes, "I still hate that he won." She confessed in a small voice. Ella shook her head, "No, I think once we nail down these big changes and adjust to a family of, Christ - four- things will settle down."
James-05/22/2017
"No, no. I get it. The macho part of me wants to flex my muscles and show him that you've got a support system. But I understand. You've gotta handle this the way that you know is best." James wanted to say something, about how it wasn't about winning because this was about her getting away from a toxic place with a man who didn't deserve to walk this Earth. "Fuck. Four of us. I can only imagine how things will get with you the closer you get to popping them out. I bet you'll want to nail my dick to a wall by the time the contractions hit."
Ella-05/22/2017
Ella grinned cheekily, " I do love the look of your muscles... But, no really, thank you for understanding, baby." She took her coffee and swirled it around before taking a sip, " I'm sure I will." Ella said with a big wide grin on her face. " To think I'm this big half way there... " she made a face. " I'm going to have you get fixed."
James-05/22/2017
"I think I have at least a set of triplets in me. Maybe after that you can have me snipped," he said as a means to make their conversation light again. Unless his comment warranted the rest of her drink on the top of his head. "I do want to be understanding, El. You've been at that firm much longer than you've known me. You've created connections with coworkers and clients. Your boss may be a prick but I don't what him, or my anger, to jeapordize anything you've worked so hard for."
Ella-05/22/2017
"Dont you even fucking joke!" Ella gasped with wide eyes. The thought of two children was daunting enough she couldnt even imagine having more, at least not currently, but that got her curious. "Do you actually want more than two kids? You can be honest. I promise I wont castrate you in your office." Ella nodded, appreciating his sentiments, "Thank you, truly, but if its okay with you, I really cant talk about it just yet? Everything still kinda stings and knowing he has ... sensitive material of me ." Ella couldn't finish that through and she didnt want to make things awkward but the truth was this crushed her. Sitting up, Ella smoothed out her dress. "So, are you getting together with Chet or whatever his name is? What did you say to him?" she asked bringing their convo full circle.(edited)May 24, 2017
James-05/24/2017
"The look on your face just now is what makes it easy to joke with you," he said, giving her knee a squeeze before leaning back in his chair. "I think two is plenty. Most people spread them out but we're getting them in one go. Any more than that?" He shrugged. "I think that's more as a we'll see how we are after the babies are a few years old." James rubbed the side of his face in thought while he spoke but his eyes fell on her, shifting from the family talk. "When you're ready to go into it, know I'm here for you, El. And no. I might see him at the bar but I'm keeping our private lives to ourselves. He and try to pry all he wants. This is to keep things from getting out of hand."
Ella-05/24/2017
"How we are meaning if we survive them? Good plan." Ella laughed, but wasn't entirely kidding. Ella gave a nod at what James said about his friend, she felt like that was probably best too.
James-05/24/2017
"Pretty much the only plan we got," he took the cup from her hand and gave Ella a tug on the wrist to sit on his lap. He leaned back to make it easier for her. "We've got this, El. We're people who know how to get things done and we have a lot of love and patience. Well. I have enough patience for the both of us." He'd probably get a hit from her with that one.
Ella-05/24/2017
Ella gave him a look and flicked his shoulder,"Shut up." She smirked, leaning in closer to his face,"Gimme some sugar." Ella closed the space between their mouths and kissed his soft full lips, feeling the scratch of his beard. "I love you and I know we got this." She went in for another kiss, longer and deeper this time.
James-05/24/2017
James laughed initially into the kiss but it soon slipped away and he place a hand onto her stomach, riding it out until she grew tired of his lips. If it were up to him they'd kiss all the damn time. He loved how good her lips felt against his. "I-" he was ready to say in the brief break and she was back on him and James rocked back laughing. And, as much as he didn't want to do this, he had to asked, "Are you done with the day? I want to grill some steaks and enjoy the weather. It's a nice enough day for it."
Ella-05/24/2017
A small whimper left Ellas mouth when he pulled away and while he spoke she kissed at his sharp jaw line and down his neck. " I have some depositions I need to review because I have a few meetings tomorrow but other than that I'm free." she managed to speak in between kisses. "Steak sounds good. Maybe some grilled peppers too. And watermelon." Ella listed a new food after each kiss, "Hostess Cupcakes and salt and vinegar chips - the wavy kind."May 26, 2017
James-05/26/2017
"Can you do those at home or do you have to go back to the office?" James wanted her to spend as little time there as possible and knowing she went in everyday caused him to fight with the urge to keep close by. Just in case. "Please tell me you're eating all of this separately and not mashing it into a glob of food."
Ella-05/26/2017
"I can review them at home tonight but I have to be in office for the meetings tomorrow." Knowing that unsettled him she clarified,"I'll be with a bunch of people and Peter probably won't even be in." She kissed his cheek,"well I won't be eating any of it if my baby daddy doesn't go and get them for me?" She gave him her sweetest grin.
James-05/26/2017
James relaxed. It felt good to have someone who understood where you came from and what your concerned were. He and Brandi weren't compatible and they had a few colorful arguments due to how they just didn't sync. They were fine as friends but even that was strained at times. Especially now. "Is baby daddy a new name for me?" He asked as he went to kiss her neck.
Ella-05/26/2017
"I mean, it sounds more endearing then Sugar Daddy." Ella grinned, leaning into his kiss.May 28, 2017
James-05/28/2017
"Besides Sugar Daddy is those overly sweet caramel candy on a stick. If I'm to be named after a candy I prefer something better." He took her kiss and started to get to his feet. "Theo finished with your car awhile ago. I wanted to keep you here with me longer."
Ella-05/28/2017
"Those will rip your teeth out but I used to love them. " Ella thought back fondly. She slipped off of James lap to let him stand and smiled adoringly at her boyfriend,"aw you're too sweet Mr. Harrington. Will I see you at your house soon then? And maybe we can try to get these babies to move for us again.." Ella placed a hand a top her belly.
James-05/28/2017
"Now I can't feel the image of you eating one of those out of my head," he chuckled because it seemed like it would be sexy up until she takes a bite from it. "If you head there now I might be half an hour. I need to get groceries." James leaned against the door and tapped his finger to his lips. "You should lay a couple on me before you leave."
Ella-05/28/2017
Ella grinned and paused long enough to give J a few pecks on the lips. "I'll text you my list." She continued walking out, "love you! Bye Theo!" And carefully got back in her car.
James-05/28/2017
James watched her as she walked away, eyes on Ella's ass the whole time before she rounded the car and went right to the driver's side door. He gave her a wave and watched until she pulled out completely. When it was only him and Theo left he said, "Let's call it an early day. Wrap up what you're doing and get back to it tomorrow morning." James returned to his office and shut down his computer and grabbed his keys. He tossed their coffees in the trash and went out the garage door; where Theo was waiting. They said their goodbyes, and James stuck around to make sure everything was locked tight before he headed to the store to buy what was needed for the barbque, plus the other items Ella's been craving.

Notes:
Ella-05/28/2017
"Turn in here. It's got to be this one. That's the realtors car." Ella nodded toward the large tan house and propped her sunglasses on top of her head as James parked their car in the stone driveway. "It's uglier in person." She noted, feeling unhappy with it right away. "It's 4,500 square feet of ugly." This was their third house they'd seen that day and Ella was feeling tired, cranky and swollen and completely underwhelmed by the houses being shown to them.May 29, 2017
James-05/29/2017
"Did you say 4,500?" He looked at her in disbelief. "Why can't we look at smaller houses? Especially ones where the price is under a million. He'd been doing these with her for a couple hours. "We can always look at that house in my neighborhood. It's only two thousand square feet but the kids won't be able to do damage for a couple years:" he tried to be optimistic but all these houses intimidated him. There was just so much to look at....
Ella-05/29/2017
"Don't worry about price -- why do you want a smaller house? So we can move once the kids are older?" Ella shook her head,"No way. I want to have space and not move again unless we want to." She looked back at the house in front of them, "should we go in this one or just nix it since it's ugly?"
James-05/29/2017
"With a smaller house you get people closer together. That's how it was growing up for me. Shit sucked with my mom but I still was there to keep an eye on her and my sister because we were so on top of one another." He knew this part would be difficult between them because they had different upbringings. He wanted her to be happy and comfortable with their home and she was the one paying everything up front until he sold his. "I guess my compromise is a decent backyard, big kitchen and a garage big enough to keep a project or two in it." James turned the key and pulled it from the ignition. "Come on. Lets look inside. What do they say? Never judge a book by it's cover. It can be the same with this place."
Ella-05/29/2017
Ella furrowed her brows,"Are you afraid you're going to lose me?" She laughed,"We can still be close even though we have a large home, babe. Trust me." The woman nodded,"that's good with me." She gave the house another look,"well fine but we'd have to remodel the entire front."
James-05/29/2017
"It's not that, El," he said leaning over to kiss her lips. "I'm just a guy who got used to a certain way of living and I'm sure there's some truth to that. I won't let those kids have a moment of privacy. They'll probably try to lock me out but I'll take down their doors," he laughed and dropped his head. "Can't you see if it'll grow on you?" He didn't think there was anything wrong with the exterior.May 30, 2017
Ella-05/30/2017
"I have a feeling in their younger years we will be the ones locking ourselves in our room begging for privacy." Ella said with a snort of laughter,"but I like your plan for when they're teenagers." Unbuckling, Ella sighed deeply,"I suppose." At that moment the realtor came out and waved. "She better have a cheeseburger in her hand or I'm going to be double pissed." She muttered opening up her door.
James-05/30/2017
"Are you serious? Do you mean we should move the cribs to our room and turn the nursery into, I don't know, a man cave maybe?" He ran a hand through his hair and chuckled at himself, before watching the realtor. "Is it part of the house showing process to feed prospective home buyers?" James climbed out of the car and went around to the front, waiting for her to join him.
Ella-05/30/2017
"Hey if this place doesn't have room for a nursery and a man room, then it's really out of the running." Ella studied the women. She was young and had a figure like Ella once did. "It should be if they're very pregnant." She grinned over at James to show she kidding. Kind of. Ella got out and joined James, taking hold of his hand. The realtor, Rachel, smiled and welcomed them. "First impressions?!" Ella made a face. "Hideous. But I've been told not to judge a book by its cover. Plus isn't this a little too mediterranean for you J? I thought we wanted a craftsman style?"
James-05/30/2017
"Oh. Yes. Sorry. Please forgive me. I forgot you've got your eye on a place that's half the size of a palace." He made a joke about it because part of him wasn't sure about a big house. He understood they'd need the room but it was an adjustment for him. One of the many he's been through in the last few months. James held Ella's hand and he listened to her speak and his eyes rounded, looking at her. "I do want that. But I do want to look at the house types of houses that Rachel has to show."
Ella-05/30/2017
It was funny James thought it was so big because to Ella it seemed modest. Certainly nothing to write home about. Ella had grown up with knowing both sides of the track but had grown accustomed to a lavish lifestyle. Ella gave a dramatic, relenting sigh at James and Rachel led them into the house listing off everything the place had to offer. "It looks dated." Ella commented. "It's only six years old." Rachel said thumbing through its listing. "Still looks dated." She grumbled. Ella pointed her manicured toe at the carpet,"this definitely has to go. And the kitchen is a total gut job, huh baby?"May 31, 2017
James-05/31/2017
Just like the other houses James felt completely flabbergasted at how she went about everything. The house looked fine to him. How was it dated exactly? Then he wondered if she thought his house looked like it needed a complete remodel. He didn't say anything because he knew he had to watch his words in front of the realtor. James, instead, nodded his head and went to look for the garage, which should be near the kitchen. That's how it was with the the places he looked at before he bought his bungalow.
Ella-05/31/2017
Ella traipsed into the kitchen as she watched J go off, her nose scrunched,"the appliances are nice but I hate the color of the granite." A few more pokes and Ella went to go find James when the realtor told her where the garage was. She opened the door and peeked her head in,"Hey. How's the garage rate?"
James-05/31/2017
There was a work bench in the garage and James took an immediate shine to it. He knew not to get his hopes up when it came to this house but he thought he should make the most of it. That was until the door opened and he saw his very pregnant girlfriend there. "It's up there," he said with a smile. When it came to him it didn't take a lot to please the guy. "Not that I should get my heart set on it. Something tells me you'll find at least another twenty things wrong with this house even before we make it to the second floor."
Ella-05/31/2017
"Yeah? You like it?" Ella asked, with a small grin, happy to see James in his element. "The kitchen is --" the woman trailed off at James' comment, her brows pulling together. "Um, wow, okay. Yeah. Maybe I will. I have a particular taste and this place isn't it." She felt herself getting defensive.
James-05/31/2017
He noticed her stance and how she responded to him and he should apologize. James went to the door, where she stood, and laid his hands on her arms. "Baby. I want you happy. And I shouldn't have insisted on us looking into this house when you were turned off by it from the get go."
Ella-05/31/2017
Ella shimmied out of his grasp, ignoring the first part of what he said, "No, you shouldn't have and then to make that comment? That was rude, J, like I'm some spoiled brat." Ella turned, her belly leading the way,"I'll meet you in the car." She knew she was pouting but her hungry and tired self didn't want to waste any more time on a house she didn't love.June 1, 2017
James-06/01/2017
And there she went. James was left in the garage and he was certain he had to tell Rachel this house wasn't for them; which he knew was obvious but still placed him in an awkward position. James found her in the living room, on her phone, and he broke the news about not exactly feeling this house. She said she had a couple more to show them and James wanted to groan. Instead he continued to be his charming self and said to put a pin in it to see if Ella wanted to look at more. He left and went to his car, climbing in and dropping his forearms atop of the steering wheel. "I'm not saying you're a spoiled brat, El. You want a house that feels like home and that wasn't it for you," James sat back. "You want to call it a day or keep going? She has more to show."
Ella-06/01/2017
Sitting with her arms crossed over her belly, Ella looked over when James got in. She nodded, feeling herself soften slightly,"Exactly. I knew by just seeing the outside of this one it wasn't for us. Sorry if that's weird or whatever." Ella sighed, "we should at least see one more today. We're low on time before I won't be able to scoot around so easily." Which was a scary thought in and of its self with how big she already was. As if on queue the babies started moving and Ella made a face as some kind of limb jabbed at her ribs. Rachel came out then, "the next place is only five minutes away, you wanna check it out?" Ella nodded vigorously, ignoring the pain, "yeah, lets go."
James-06/01/2017
Was he content with so little? All the things she pointed out in this house, and and the one before, didn't register to him and he thought, for a moment, that they'd not get a new place and have to stay in his house until the babies were in pre-school. That idea amused him because it'd never happen. El would make sure of it. "Let's hope this next one has a nicer outside," he said, taking her hand to kiss before smirking. James pulled from the spot and followed Rachel to the next house.
Ella-06/01/2017
The way he handled Ella calmed her quickly. Even his joke about the outside, "Yeah yeah yeah." She said putting her sunglasses back on, "let's hope." Rachel was right, he drive was short but the neighborhood was pristine and the houses all with character and very well kept. "This looks nice." Ella commented, noting that they were all craftsman style. She didn't mind an older home as long as it was remodeled. She happen to like the charm that came with the older homes of this particular style. The realtors car stopped in front of a large updated looking home. There was a porch and two car garage attached to one side and a small sweet front yard. "First impressions?" Ella asked to J.
James-06/01/2017
The house looked like the type you find in front of a home catelogue. Could he see himself living in such a place? Twenty years ago he thought he'd never get out from under his mother's roof and now here he was, next to a woman he loved and who was very pregnant with their twins. Life was funny that way. "I think it's nice. I can picture us playing with the kids in the yard and the garage is the right size." He hoped it had a workbench inside.. "It's still too big for me but I think anything bigger than your townhouse too big." he said with a chuckle. "What about you?"
Ella-06/01/2017
Ella smiled at the thought, surprised she could see the same thing. "Nah, it's not too big.. I think it looks perfect." Her whole demeanor changed,"I can't wait to see the inside!" Once the cars were parked they met Rachel on the front lawn who went over the details of the five bedroom, four and half bath, fully updated home. "Oh! We will have a room for guests - thats great! " Ella complimented, immediately thinking of her sister. The woman noted the swing on the porch ,"does that stay? I want it to stay." She looked up at J, "you do too, right baby?"
James-06/01/2017
I can see why James always wants to touch it and kiss itJames walked beside El, his hands stuffed into his pockets and it was as if he saw a complete tranformation; compared to the other home they visited. He removed a hand and wrapped his arm around her shoulders to pull his girl close and kiss her temple. "We want it to stay," he told Rachel and went to walk into the house, taking Ella's hand. That was a lot of rooms and bathrooms. He never lived in anything with more than three rooms and one bathroom. Who was to clean all of this? Yet he figured El had that all planned out. "What's the square footage?" He asked, curious about this.June 2, 2017
Ella-06/02/2017
Beaming up at James, Ella was so pleased he agreed with her. She let him take her hand and followed him into the house where they were met with the most beautiful entry way. Built in shelves lined the way into an open living room and to a large staircase. Everything was bright and open. "What was it? Like 46- 4400 something like that I think." Ella was completely enamored. "Oh, J, look at that fire place!"
James-06/02/2017
James let out a low whistle but was taken out of it when Ella pointed out the fireplace. That was one item he never had growing up. They had a small heater that they tossed coal into, but living in California you never really needed one. He went to it and laid a hand on the mantle. He unintentionally had been keeping himself from getting excited about the houses they looked at; mainly due to how large and expensive they were, but Ella's excitement rubbed off on him. He turned to look at her but his eyes set on the large kitchen. Where he went to on his own.
Ella-06/02/2017
When James joined Ella couldn't help but think of how their babies stockings would look hanging from it and how she'd have their decorator put it together. She was about to say something about it when James wandered off and Ella smiled to herself knowing the large gleaming white cabinet kitchen and monster eat at island was awaiting. She followed behind him after a beat, gasping pleasantly when she saw the view to the fenced in back yard. A set of two French doors off the back opened into a wide patio and a perfectly groomed back yard. "This property couldn't be any prettier." Rachel commented, "and there is nothing to do update wise unless it's preference." Ella beamed at J,"kitchens pretty."
James-06/02/2017
He was in his own world, imagining the type of meals he could prepare in here. Everything was in pristine condition and he had his sights on the gas range. It was the type he'd seen them use on the cooking shows he watched and James realized El said something to him. "Huh?" he started and he felt he heard the word kitchen in there and smiled with a head nod. "What are they asking for this house?" He braced himself for the price tag. He knew Ella would be fine with it but for him he would prefer to put that money into savings for their kids' college funds.
Ella-06/02/2017
Rachel doubled checked her papers, "It's listed at 1.6 and it just hit the market three days ago and will fly out of here. We have to bite on this one fast if you want it." Ella clasped her hands together, "Oh! Thats not terrible." she said brightly. That meant Ella could pay cash for the house. "Well, I think we should look upstairs before we commit, but this home is stunning. Nice job." she gave a nod of approval and smiled at James, "Wanna go check out the master, baby?"
James-06/02/2017
"1.6?" his eyes rounded. He knew it cleared a million but not that much and he stared at how casual Ella was with this. Words disappeared from his vocabulary and he brought his attention to his girl when she asked the question. Did this place have gold pipes? Fuck. "Uh. Yeah. Let's-" his words were going slow because his brain was trying to wrap around this, "check it out." he chuckled. "Fuck." he mouthed out while he looked down, hoping they didn't catch his curse word.
Ella-06/02/2017
"I'll give you guys a minute and meet you in the bonus room that's a must see!" Rachel said pulling out her phone. "Take your time." Ella started for the staircase, taking James hand, "Oh my god, J, I'm in love. What a big difference from the last place right?" Ella had grown up in a house almost twice this size once her mom remarried. Their taste had been almost sterile and museum like and while Ella loved a big home she vowed to make her future home feel warm and comfortable; quite the contrast to her current town house but she knew her babies deserved it. Ella looked up at James, "Do you not love it? You're quiet..."
James-06/02/2017
"I-I like it, El. The price left me stunned," he said as soon as it was the two of them. "You're gonna have to give me a minute here, babe. It's one thing to look at these expensive houses but to dish the money out for one." he shook his head, still in awe. James looked at the stairs and then around the entry. He could see things happening here. That was evident and he supposed that, with time, he'd get used to being in a house like this. Even seeing it as his home. He placed his hands on either sides of Ella's face and brought her forehead to his lips. "All of this will grow on me. I promise. I'm happy when you're happy and I can tell you're ready to pop from how excited you are to get started on this place."
Ella-06/02/2017
"I know, its a big price tag, but we can definitely afford it, baby. You dont need to stress." Ella stepped closer to him, sliding her arms around his waist. " lets hope I don't pop." she grinned. " But I think this house does make me happy. At least so far. It feels... right. Is that weird? Is that just my hormones talking?"
James-06/02/2017
She was so sure about this and James knew she was. Ella wasn't the type to go into something unless she was 100% about it and he needed to trust her. Shit. There were so many changes taking place in his life and it felt surreal to be doing this. As if this was part of some crazy dream. "Not your hormones, sexy," he said, giving her that smile she loved. "Just your heart. You see a future here and I can, too."June 3, 2017
Ella-06/03/2017
Ella melted when he smiled and it took away any doubt she had. After giving him a lingering kiss, she nodded toward the upstairs,"C'mon, lets go see where the nursery could be." Hand in hand they walked up to the second floor and peeked into the bedrooms and bathrooms and it was one of the last ones before the master that Ella opened and cooed. "Aw, J,"she swallowed feeling herself get emotional, " this would be it, its close to us and bright and there's room for two cribs.."
James-06/03/2017
Two cribs. He knew they were essentally to have two of everythng soon and James noticed the sheen in her eyes. He kept her close and kissed her temple, then cheek. They would be parents in no time and in a new home with new responsiblities and new...well, everything. Everything was essentially new to him other than his life at the garage. But for El, everything was changing, including where she set her career roots after she was ready to return to work. "This is perfect, babe," he said, voice deep and maybe with a hint of emotional as well. "I can see you going crazy in here with all those ideas from that one site you look at a lot."
Ella-06/03/2017
Ella nodded,"Pinterest." She cried happily, swiping at her eyes. This made everything feel so real and she only hoped that they would get this house and be able to make it their first home together. Ella wrapped her arms around J the best she could and soaked in the moment for a quiet minute. "Alright, lets go check out the master and then go talk to Rachel?"
James-06/03/2017
"I hope the walls are thick in the master. Don't want our kids to be traumatized about the noises that come from mommy and daddy's room," he said as he slid his hand onto her ass and gave it a gentle squeeze. "So this is the place? The one where we're going to raise our family and grow old in?"
Ella-06/03/2017
"James!" Ella laughed, "oh my god." She rested her head on his firm chest, "I --I think so. I loved it the moment I saw it. But if you have any reservations we can talk about it. But,I ," she grinned besotted, "I kind of love it."
James-06/03/2017
"I'm only stating the obvious, El. Actually I hope these windows are thick too. Airplane glass thick. All the neighbors will know just how often we go at it," he was merely joking with her but he liked the way she got whenever he did that. James, walked into the master and even though he stood in the room his eyes were on the large bathroom to the side of it. "You can fit a family in there," he said. Then, remembering her question he said, "Nope. The only thing with me is the size and price. But that's more on me than anything."
Ella-06/03/2017
Ella blushed, "J! We are not going to be those neighbors!" She laughed, flustered. Maybe they would be. The master was big and roomy and while the bathroom was stunning, the his and her closet was a show stopper. Almost as big as the one Ella had currently. She smirked, pleased. She met J back in the bathroom and hooked her fingers in the hem of his jeans, playfully walking him against the vanity. "I love this. Imagine all the good sex we can have in that tub." She grinned, leaning up and capturing his bottom lip with her teeth.June 4, 2017
James-06/04/2017
"If I start imagining these things then we're going to put Rachel in a very awkward position downstairs," He said, feeling her kiss on his lips while his fingers skimmed the sides of her dress. James turned around to see what he was leaning against and turned back with a chuckle. "Better be careful, El. You know what happens when we get near a counter."
Ella-06/04/2017
Ella nodded, biting down on her own lip now, then,"I do know.." Her hand traveled down to the front of his pants where she could feel his bulge on the other side. "We only need a few minutes.." With her other hand she traced the outline of his belt.
James-06/04/2017
Ella seemed pretty deadset on this house so, technically, it was theirs now and they able to do whatever they wanted in here. James looked down at what her hands were up to and he found himself pressing into the palm of her hand. "Few minutes? Looking for a quickie then?" Since she was touching him, he was going to do the same. James completely ignored the wide open doors and focused more on lifting the skirt of her dress up so he could hook the sides of her panties to pull down.
Ella-06/04/2017
"Well, I don't want to make her too suspicious." Ella smirked, starting to undo his belt. "But we have to make sure these counters work for us if we're going to buy the place right?" She closed the space between them as much as she could with the belly between them and kissed J hungrily . Quickly she worked on his pants, undoing the button and pulling down the zipper so she could slip her hand down the front of his boxers to get him hard.
James-06/04/2017
There wasn't a whole lot of time and James felt her panties drop away from his fingers. "Would it be a deal breaker if they don't live up to our expectations?" he asked, moving his hands to her hips and moving himself away from the vanity to turn them around so he could pop Ella onto it. If he were without a shirt he imagined Ella would have loved the look of his muscles in his arms as he hoisted her up. "Get me going again," he said, wanting her hand back on his cock. His fingers went underneath her thighs and he lured her closer to the edge so he could push into her as soon as he was ready.
Ella-06/04/2017
As soon as Ella felt her underwear hit the ground she stepped out of them,"We would have to renovate." She joked, holding on to his shoulders as he sat her on the counter. She shimmied her dress up a bit so she could spread her legs for him so he would easily fit between them. Ellas hand wrapped around his length and she pumped him the way she knew he liked while she leaned in to nip and suck at his neck as she did.June 5, 2017
James-06/05/2017
It was a good thing he didn't need much in the way of a warm up, not when she was touching him and ready to go. James took another step forward, breathing heavily through his parted lips, and he took her hand away to place on his shoulder. His attention dropped and watched as he took himself in hand to rock his hips forward enough to feel the press of her opening. He wanted to play with her, get her to that level of arousal before going in but when something needed to be done quick...So he pushed forward, still going slow and returning his eyes to hers. He couldn't believe they were doing this. But fuck, it was hot.
Ella-06/05/2017
Ellas fingers dug into his shoulders as she felt James sink into her with ease. Looking at each other as he did, turned her on ever more and she whimpered as James came to a hilt inside of her. He could fill her up with inches of himself to spare. Ellas legs wrapped around him, keeping him nice and close."fuck." She muttered, starting to roll her hips against him.June 6, 2017
James-06/06/2017
"Why do I feel like this will be that bathroom incident all over again? The one from your Christmas party," he could smell her perfume and feel the soft strands of her hair brush against his cheek as he watched their bodies move together. "If it is then Rachel is in for quite the show," James' fingers sunk into the skin of her ass as he kept her planted on the edge of the counter.
Ella-06/06/2017
The thought of that made Ella pause for a moment but she quickly recovered as she focused on the pleasure at hand. Not that the bathroom incident had been bad but the repercussions certainly had been. Ella breathed into James' shoulder; the harder they went the harder she breathed, starting to bite at it, to keep from moaning too loudly.
James-06/06/2017
There was the pressure of her teeth, lightly padded by his shirt but not by much. James could hear her breathing around the bite and as much as he shouldn't he decided to add something more to drive El wild. His hand went up and cupped her breast, kissing at her neck and the cheek. He kept going until their mouths connected and James rubbed at the front of her blouse; honing in on her nipple to tease it through the fabric.
Ella-06/06/2017
"Jesus," she breathed, her breathing getting more sporadic as James fondled her ever growing breast. She wanted to feel more of him too; it was only fair after all. Ella moved her hand to his hips and dragged them up under shirt, running them over every part of him she could reach. She loved how J knew how to turn her on and how he knew all the curves of her body that even clothed he could hone in on the exact spots she needed to be touched. She moaned into his ear to let him know how much she liked it.
James-06/06/2017
James was used to them doing this in the comfort of one of their homes and, in a way, this was theirs as soon as Ella paid for it, but he found himself getting a little ahead of himself by whisper, "Fuck, baby. You get me so hard," The words pressed into her shoulder before kissing at the fabric. He brought his scruffy chin across until he settled into the crook of her neck. He needed to up his game to get them to their points quick. This wasn't something they wanted to get caught doing. Or was it...?
Ella-06/06/2017
One thing was for sure, everything was more sensitive now that she was pregnant which meant quicker arousal and more intense orgasms. Ella was getting there and reveling in his words and touch; her hands made there way up to his hair where she entangled her fingers in it and pulled on it helplessly. "Harder, harder," she begged, her brows knitting together.June 7, 2017
James-06/07/2017
"Babe," he said as he tried to not talk into her skin but he was panting so hard that he found it hard to move from the spot, "I go any harder then that realtor will hear you," he said but he found himself caving seconds later because fuck, he couldn't deny giving her what she wanted. James' eyes pressed shut for a moment as he thrusted firmly into her, feeling their bodies press while his cock tried to get his woman to feel all the pleasure she'd been craving. Him too, because damn he loved whenever they did this.
Ella-06/07/2017
Ella was about to pout but then in true James fashion he gave her what she asked for. She whimpered loudly as her body bounced up and down on the cold granite from the thrusting of his cock. Now he was hitting her spot and with every movement she got closer and closer until finally the heat in her core couldn't take it any more and she felt herself come undone around James. She leaned into him, her nails digging into his muscular shoulders, her head back, eyes shut as she moaned through her climax forgetting in the moment where they were.
James-06/07/2017
Shortly after Ella's moan graced his ears, James joined her. His own sounds were muffled by her neck and he gave her a couple passionate thrusts before groaning her name and a couple of swears into her perfumed skin. As he kissed her, trying to chase away the redness his beard left in its wake, he noticed something move in the bathroom's mirror. Something from the bedroom but it was gone before he could turn to look. "Shit. I think Rachel saw us," The chuckle that came from him surprised James and he dropped his forehead to her shoulder. "Suppose we better tell her we'll take it."
Ella-06/07/2017
Hearing James join in made Ella give all her energy into their orgasms. As she felt him fill her up she swore under her breath at how amazing he always felt. She was basking in the feeling of him pulsating inside of her, her head pressing onto his chest when James mentioned Rachel might of caught them. "What?!" She hissed, her head popping up. "Seriously?"she looked around J but no one was there. "Jesus." She grumbled, trying to keep the panicked laughter out of her voice. Ella motioned to his dick, "Out! Out! We have to get down stairs." Ella smoothed at her hair, trying to regain composure.June 8, 2017
James-06/08/2017
Things needed to go fast and James pulled out, finding the sensation odd as he already started to soften a little and she was still slick with everything. He ducked to grab her panties before working on himself. "Guess we're the ones to give her a showing instead of the other way around," He found humor in this even though Ella looked a little disheveled from what happened.
Ella-06/08/2017
Sliding off the counter, Ella took her panties from him and carefully put them back on; slower than normal with her balance being off a bit. "J.." Ella groaned at his joke, a small smile playing on her lips. "She probably thinks we're two horn dogs now and is afraid to work with us." She pulled her dress back down over her ass and smoothed the front, giving herself a once over in the bathroom mirror. "God, I look like I was just fucked." She muttered. "C'mon."
James-06/08/2017
James was following her, adding a little extra to his step because he felt good. Not the whole getting caught thing but because he they unexpectedly had sex and it was clear as day he pleased his woman. They went down the stairs and he took a moment to enjoy this. This would be their house soon and he will be going up and down these for the next how many years he had left on this Earth.
Ella-06/08/2017
Ella tried to pull it together the best she could. She walked with authority in her Louboutins even though her wet panties were a reminder of what just transpired. Ella spotted Rachel in the kitchen and cleared her throat before she approached her. Still not sure if she had been caught Ella tried and play it off casually. "Well, we really like it. We want to make a full priced offer."
James-06/08/2017
When he reached the bottom of the landing, James followed Ella into the kitchen and stood nearby with his hands on his hips; eyes on the cabinents and appliances. He could see a lot happening in this one room of the house. He knew that he'd be the one manning the stove for a majority of their meals but that was fine with him. He enjoyed it. It still blew his mind to hear her say that they'd go for the full price one. He was used to people who wanted to haggle but she knew what she liked.
Ella-06/08/2017
Rachel didn't make eye contact with Ella at first, as she seemingly aimlessly flipped through papers. However at Ellas offer her whole face brightened, "Oh! That's-- that's wonderful! I'll draw up the paperwork right away!" Rachel looked between Ella and James smiling as if to confirm the decision and Ella noticed Rachel's eyes leaving their site line of James face and drifting down to his crotch Ella was about to get huffy when she realized why; James white boxers were poking through as his fly was completely open. It was damn well surprising that James wasn't catching a breeze on the base of his cock. Rachel was trying hard to focus on her phone now and listing the next steps and Ella tried to get J's attention with her eyes.
James-06/08/2017
His hand went to push his hair behind an ear and he bent to look at the cabinents to see how deep they went. James pictured fitting his cookware in there and when he stood back up he looked to Ella with a smile, but there was something off with the way she looked at him. He cocked his head to the side, raising an eyebrow as he mouthed out "What?" The smile on his face remained but it wasn't as big as before.
Ella-06/08/2017
"So I'll tell them you'll put in a 1.6 all cash offer right?" Rachel asked, still not looking up. Ella nodded, eyes still glued on James. "Yup." Ellas eyes drifted to his crotch once she had his attention. Making a face and motioning to it with her head she wondered if J would get it. If she had to she would pull it up herself. Clearly their plans of being stealthy were all shot to hell. She wondered what they would do once they had two tiny people living with them all the time!June 9, 2017
James-06/09/2017
What the hell was she going on about his brows together as he was about to ask what again but then he followed her eyes and realized what was going on and James noticed that both of them had their eyes on his crotch and his clearly visible boxers. Hopefully that was all that was visible. He turned and zipped up, moving to behind the counter to just cover everything the waist down from any further attention.
Ella-06/09/2017
Ella closed her eyes, giving a small shake of her head and James zipped up his pants if for nothing than being slightly embarrassed. Oh well, Ella thought, she was in love and horny as hell almost consistently with this pregnancy so Rachel would have to deal. At that moment Rachel's phone rang and she stepped into the other room to take it. Ellas face broke into a smile "you think you could have put your dick away?!" She hissed, starting to laugh.
James-06/09/2017
When it was the two of them he kept to the counter. "I didn't realize he was doing one of those encore performances," he said while doing his best not to laugh. "Think she was wondering how good I am?" This question came out before he caught it and James hoped that it wouldn't be met with a hit to the arm or something. It was all said as a joke anyway. "Hopefully she's too distracted by the fact you're paying full for this place. Seeing my cock was just the icing on the cake for her." Now he laughed because it was honestly too ridiculous.
Ella-06/09/2017
"James David Harrington!" Ella scolded, feigning shock, "It doesn't matter if she's wondering how good you are because your cock only has one pussy to please from here on out." She gave him a pointed look. Regarding the last thing, Ella jutted out her chin, "she should be so lucky. But let's hope she feels that way and doesn't tack on some crazy new closing fees." She gave a roll of her eyes.
James-06/09/2017
He couldn't remember the last time he heard his full name said in such a way. And, for a moment, he realized his mother never was the scolding type and Ella possibly was the first. Maybe. He laughed and held his hands up, "I know it belongs to you but it could've livened her day. Hell. She has a story to tell now to her friends," James didn't know how closing costs worked or if it could be hiked up. "What will you do if there's a higher amount?"June 10, 2017
Ella-06/10/2017
Ella gave a nod in agreement, "Damn right its mine. And I'm sure it livened up her day; it always does that for me. She just better not get any ideas..." walking closer to James, Ella wrapped her arms around his neck ,"I was teasing babe, if it's more it's fine. Please don't stress about this okay?" Ella pecked his lips.June 12, 2017
James-06/12/2017
"She's gonna have ideas. She did see how I was given it to you upstairs," His hands went to her hips and he placed his thumbs partially on her growing belly. There was an obvious gap between them but it didn't stop him from kissing her. "I'll try not to. My thing is wrapping my head around that price tag. I'll get over it."
Ella-06/12/2017
A pout crossed Ellas face; she hated thinking of J with anyone else - especially since she didn't feel as attractive as usual. She felt An anger that was unwarranted toward Rachel as if she was trying to start something by seeing her and James have sex. Ella tried to push it aside, "It'll be great. " she assured him. "We won't have a mortgage and that will feel really good."
James-06/12/2017
Why was she giving him that expression that always made him think he was denying her something she clearly wanted? Or did he say something that she didn't like? "I never been without a mortgage payment," he mused. "I do need to pay my part as soon as my house sells."
Ella-06/12/2017
"It's no rush, we can just put that money into the twins education fund or something. I'm really not fussed." It was sometimes hard for Ella to really relay how money was not a big deal to her. Her back account would allow her to buy this house ten fold but she knew James wasn't used to that and tried to see it from his perspective. Rachel came back in; clearing her throat loudly, and wearing a big smile on her face. "I just got off the phone with the seller;they love your offer. Barring no complications - you guys have got yourself the house!"
James-06/12/2017
"No shit?" He said to Rachel, as if he didn't believe her. Of course they accepted. It was the full offer. James expected some type of back and forth, like he has with his own house but this was smooth sailing. Wow. He looked at Ella and the the kitchen. They got a place and it took close to no time. Which was fortunate for him because he worried they'd go through many and she would hate different things about them.
Ella-06/12/2017
Ella's eyebrows raised, "Really?" She sounded as surprised as J. This seemed too perfect. Rachel explained the next steps and getting the inspection taken care of but ella was hardly paying attention. Her eyes met James' and she broke out into a large smile, "Oh my God? Did we seriously just get a house?"June 13, 2017
James-06/13/2017
James didn't expect Ella's surprise and he laughed. "Looks like it, babe." He went to her and wrapped his arms around her body, kissing the crook of her neck as he held her backside close to his front. "We're getting everything in place to start our family."
Ella-06/13/2017
Ella knew there wouldn't be anyway someone would turn down a cash offer of that caliber but it still felt surreal. "This is crazy." She mused shaking her head and dabbing at her eyes that had started to water. "I'm so excited, baby."
James-06/13/2017
When the tears showed, which was hard for James to see but the action of touching the corners of her eye and he went around. He was about to ask Rachel if they could have a moment but the woman took a step away from the kitchen, ear to the phone and he laid all his attention on El. "I am, too. I can fit half of my house on this bottom floor alone," he said with a joke before kissing at her forehead. "When do you want to start the moving?"
Ella-06/13/2017
Ella looked up at James quiet for a minute and then burst into tears suddenly unable to contain them. "Is this the right one? What if we're wrong? What if the babies don't like it?" She wasn't really sure where the tears came from but this seemed to happen a lot lately. "And I can't pack because I'm too fat and we can't have movers touch all our stuff because of germs and do you think my Range Rover will fit in the garage?" She cried, tears pouring down her face.
James-06/13/2017
James expected more tears, but not with the fear and anxiety that accompanied it. He brought her in as close as he could and kissed her forehead once again. "Baby, we'll get the moving figured out. Your car will have no problem fitting in the garage and the babies will love the house because they'll have the best memories in this place." He wanted to bring her back to the happy she felt before. "You're not fat. You have two very important people in here and you're making sure their cared for."June 14, 2017
Ella-06/14/2017
Ella sniffled as she listened. "And you like it for sure? I don't want you to hate it and then hate me for making you live here and then the babies hate me too.." the tears started again and it still shocked Ella how her mood shifted so drastically from one moment to another. It was one thing she didn't particularly like as she was used to always being sure and confident and steady.
James-06/14/2017
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm not crazy about how expensive it is but I know this is about the home and not the figure. This" he waved a hand around at the house, "is our home. I saw how your eyes lit up and I can imagine our family here," he returned his hand to her waist and ducked his head just enough to catch her eye. "Besides we already christened the bathroom and we should see about doing that in every room of the house before the babies are here," he said in hopes he'd get a smile from her.
Ella-06/14/2017
Holding on to his arms while he talked, Ella could feel herself calming down. She had felt like this was home the moment they pulled up to it. That had to count for something. She nodded,"You're right," she agreed in a small voice. Then laughed softly, sniffling a bit, "There are a lot of rooms..."
James-06/14/2017
"And I may not have the same amount of stamina I did when I was a eighteen but I'll manage to keep up with you so that we hit every room. And the backyard. Garage will have to wait until we have your Range Rover." He kissed her, pressing their forheads together. With a breathy, deep voice he asked, "Are you doing better?"
Ella-06/14/2017
James had been more than accommodating of Ellas rampant pregnancy sex drive. She couldn't get enough and no matter what time of day J let her have her way; including her strange desire to give him daily six am blowjobs. A small hiccup escaped as Ella got steadied back out and she nodded again. "Yea, I'm better." She kissed him back, "thank you."
James-06/14/2017
"Good because this is a good thing that happened and we should celebrate," he waited for her to pull away just enough before he swooped in to kiss her lips; tasting faint saltiness from her tears. "I'll let you dress me in one of those suits and we can go to a nice restaurant. I know how much you love me in a suit."
Ella-06/14/2017
"You will?" Ella asked brightly. She struggled not to get emotional again. "I love you. So much." She couldn't help gush.June 15, 2017
James-06/15/2017
"As long as I'm guaranteed this smile, I'll do anything," he said honestly. The man was smitten by her. It was a truth he realized long before. "Should we tell Rachel we're decent? She's probably loitering about waiting on us." He figured they may need to go to an office next to do all the necessary paperwork.
Ella-06/15/2017
"Wait wait." Ella said, holding tight to his arm for an extra moment. "One more kiss." Popping up on her tip toes Ella leaned in and kissed his soft lips that were lined by his scratchy blonde whiskers of his beard. She could kiss him a million times a day and it still wouldn't be enough. Gently pulling away and offering him the smile that he seemed to love so much she gave a nod,"Alright, now let's go find Rachel."
“Not even.” Ella grinned, giving his hand a squeeze, though of course as long as the babies were healthy it didn’t matter too much to her. They followed the lady back to a dimly lit ultra sound room where she asked Ella to sit up on the table and James to take a seat in the chair next to her. “We finding out what we’re having today?” She asked as she readied a towel to lay over Ella’s lap. Ella nodded, “We are!” Knowing the drill, Ella laid back and picked up her shirt, tucking it above her belly. “Awesome, we’ll try and get you some good pictures today too.” She smiled at Ella as she draped the towel over her jeans and got out the warm gel for her stomach. It took a moment to get everything set up but soon she was running the little machine over Ella’s large bump and two figures appeared on the screen that was mounted on the wall. “Look at those babies!” The nurse said happily. “They’re snuggling!”
James may have been familiar with the waiting room but this part was entirely new to him. He watched all the machines and the way people went along with this as if it were a rehearsed drill. James didn’t know what was what and he watched as the nurse worked on the machine, setting things up. His hands clasped together as he leaned on hs forearms, curious about the whole process. By the look of things he felt they’d be out of here in no time. It was pretty cool. And just like that there was action on a monitor and James’ face lit up like a Christmas tree. He’d seen the sonogram but this was different. This was now. Right now and those were their kids. James' hand went to take Ella’s and he found himself unable to stop grinning.
Ella and James sat in the quiet, modern looking waiting room of Ellas OBGYN waiting patiently to be called. Her hand rested on her every growing baby bump as they waited to go back and find out the sex of both their babies. Ella had hardly gotten any sleep the night before in anticipation; she was guessing two boys, while James was betting on two girls . With her free hand the woman scanned through the Pinterest app on her phone looking at various ideas on gender reveal parties. Not sure she wanted one, but curious what was out there she made a folder and saved several pins to it. “Ms. Jameson?” a voice called. The woman in question looked up and smiled back at the nurse decked out in pink scrubs and holding a clip board, “We’re ready for you; come on back!” Ella tossed her phone in her Loui bag and used the arm of the chair to help push herself up. She smiled over at her boyfriend, “Ready?”
This wasn’t James’ first time in one of these places but it’s been many years and teenage him felt weird being in a room like that. Adult him, on the other hand, kept a hand on Ella’s thigh while his other held a magazine open. It was one of those women’s magazines but he wanted to understand El better and what better way than reading an article in it? Not that he had time to retain what he took in because it was her go and he watched her get to her feet. James tossed the magazine onto the table and rose to take her hand. “I’m convinced it’s two girls. Just you see,” he told her as he leaned in to whisper that while they walked in, James waiting for Ella and the nurse to go in before he followed afterward.
“If we did then I suppose I should say sorry.” he smiled cheekily, rolling to his side only to grab Ella to bring her against his body. “I think by this point they’re used to being moved around. We haven’t exactly slowed down.” He settled once again and added, “You’ve been working me so much lately I think I might be getting my six pack back.” James’ hand dropped to his stomach and he felt along it, the definition already there but acting silly for the hell o it.
“Sorry not sorry!” Ella laughed, craning her neck up to kiss at his defined jaw that was covered in scruff. It was true, her sex drive was in full speed since being pregnant. Ellas hand ran down the front of him and poked his hard stomach, “I hope that’s not a complaint!” she laughed. She knew it wasnt of course, but it was fun to tease each him. Snuggling in as close as possible with her belly leading the way, Ella let out a deep breath and enjoyed the moment together in the after glow.
Ella smiled at him adoringly and shrugged her shoulder, “You can always ask me, baby. Don’t ever feel weird about that stuff with me; I’m very open.” She adjusted herself so she was facing him, “Good. I’m happy you liked it.” Ella reached over and smoothed down some of the stray golden hairs. “I hope we didn’t jostle the babies too badly,” she teased with a giggle in her voice.
“If we did then I suppose I should say sorry.” he smiled cheekily, rolling to his side only to grab Ella to bring her against his body. “I think by this point they’re used to being moved around. We haven’t exactly slowed down.” He settled once again and added, “You’ve been working me so much lately I think I might be getting my six pack back.” James' hand dropped to his stomach and he felt along it, the definition already there but acting silly for the hell o it.
Ella knew exactly what she was doing when she spoke to him that way and wasnt surprised when his speed picked up. She smirked to herself before she too got lost in the bliss of the moment. Ella called his name over and over in loud panting breaths as she came with him. In the moments after, she kept herself propped up so he could take his time and only once he was out did she turn so she was kneeling on the bed. She looked at him with a lazy, love drunk smile on her face, inching closer to him so she was level with his naval. She placed a few slow kisses right above it. “That was fucking incredible.” she complimented, trying to steady her breathing.
James swallowed, able to hear it in his ears and as he panted he saw Ella shift to face him, kissing at his stomach. The man watched and he smiled lazily. His hair was in all directions and he thought his heart was ready to thunder out of his chest and take flight. “I’m glad you didn’t mind that. It was something I’ve wanted and it’s not exactly one of those things I can randomly ask if you’d be down for.” he laughed, dropping to his side and propping his head up with his hand. “I’ll think about that for a good long time,” he smirked and rolled to his back. Damn. He still felt so good from it.
The difference in sensations were tantalizing. Ella could hardly keep up with all the different pleasures but whined when he pulled out. Thankfully she was met with his soft warm tongue and it silenced her except for the little short moans that formed in her throat. But then he was back and now with her clit in his hands to do with as he wished; she was putty. “So good, J, ” Ella groaned, throwing her head back, “youre so big and you fill me up and i fucking love it.” Her voice was unsteady from the pounding but she made sure she still sounded sexy and affirming. “I love it,” she moaned again, “Youre so good to me, baby.”
Shit. When she talked that way it caused James to struggle every single time. He didn’t want to cum yet but the tightness, how she laid out for him as if she as his personal playground, and intensity of doing this with her; it made him get to that point. And as he struggled to hold back it was too late and James’ hands gripped her much too tight; his fingers bore into the flesh of her waist as he fucked her at such a speed that it left him so fucking dizzy that he fell forward after he grunted and moaned his climax. He moved slowly, a few shallow pumps here and there until he pulled from her completely.
Ella smirked back before facing forward again and lowering herself on to her forearms as her wrists felt wobbly from the thrusting back and forth. She felt like she could give James more resistance this way too. She kept up with his pace and but let him steer how things went. She wanted this time to be for him as much as she was enjoying herself. “And you’re so fucking good.” she huffed out, before biting on her lip sensually.
“Keep telling me how good I am.” he said, pulling out of her completely to go back down and pressing his tongue against her; feeling that heat against his tongue. James rose and moved back into her, the new friction caused him to moan her name underneath his breath, loving how easily he glided now inside of her. His hand went around and he slipped it over her round stomach and stopped as soon as he found the spot. His fingers played with her clit as he pounded into her. “Tell me, baby. I want to hear.”
Even though James was long and thick his tenderness and the way he handled her with such care made it so it was painless for Ella. Feeling their bodies connect that way brought out the feisty side of her and Ella gently bounced her ass against him. “Am I being a good girl?” she asked, in a little voice, turning slightly to look at him over her shoulder with big doe eyes.
A cheeky grin pushed across his lips before he panted out a labored breath. “Yeah. You’re a good girl,” his hands skimmed the outer parts of her ass and he moved her to go faster against him. James licked his lips and watched how deep he went, feeling such an intense tightness surround him. “Fuck, El-”he grunted, “You’re so fucking tight.” It was true, this wasn’t like anything he was used to and he kept going at that same pace with her, feeling everything heat up.
It wasnt Ella’s first go round with this but it had been awhile and she appreciated the gentle way James handled it. It felt different, but not bad different; in fact Ella actually liked it; an unpopular opinion that made her very popular at university. When James asked if she was ready, Ella was as relaxed and as ready as ever and let out a playful gasp when he pulled her closer; smirking to herself. “Yes, God, fuck me.” she practically begged, not wanting to wait or be teased any longer. His smack on her ass only heightening her arousal.
James lined himself up to her and tested the waters. The tip of his cock slipped up down her center and he pushed forward but didn’t feel satisfied with it. He lowered, grabbing her cheeks and added more to it to make her more slick for him. James went back up and pressed himself into her, it easing into her finally. He groaned loudly as he went further; sinking into Ella carefully to not hurt her. His fingers gripped her tightly and he pulled her closer and closer until they were pressed together.
Maybe it was something that turned men on specifically or maybe it was just her ass was inviting but so many men seemed to enjoy eating it and playing with it. Not exactly sure what it did for them but happy to play along Ellas lips made a perfect ‘O’ when she felt James press into her. Curious as to what body part he would use she could quickly tell it wasnt the one she thought he would be using, or at least not yet he wasnt. Still Ella whimpered, her body building up for another orgasm. She liked knowing she was his to play with and that they could comfortably experiment and get a little wild with each other. “Fuck, “ she moaned, her eyes closing.
His thumb went up to the first knuckle and then he stopped. He wanted Ella to adjust to the sensation of something inside this part of her body before doing more to it. James leaned over and kissed her lower back as he pulled his thumb out but pushed back in and repeated this until he managed to push his whole thumb int. His mouth skimmed down; rubbing his facial hair against her skin until he was back; replacing his thumb with his mouth as he spread her more. He started to really get into eating her ass and he knew that she’d be ready for him soon. His body impatiently begged him to fuck her but he wanted her to enjoy this as much as him. His tongue prodded and skirted across her and when he pulled from it, he sat back onto his feet and yanked her hips to bring her closer to his body. “Are you ready for me?” he asked, a hand on his cock as he pumped it. He gave her ass a playful slap after he asked.
Ella was getting lost in the movements of his tongue and how familiar he felt. She knew she was practically dripping on to his tongue from his performance earlier. But then when he moved up further, giving Ella all new sensations her jaw slackened. It was no secret to her that men enjoyed her ass and were always quite fond of it but she and James hadn’t ventured to this yet and she was more than ready to let him explore that part of her. She moaned quietly letting him know she liked it and encouraging him on.
James knew better than to push his thumb in and he returned his mouth to work on her a little more, finding her noises the perfect haromony needed to keep him aroused. As soon as he felt she was ready: slick and properly rimmed, he kept her cheeks spread so he could admire the view a moment longer before gliding his thumb back over. There was plenty of saliva-slickness to this area now and he gently pushed his digit in; instantly wanting to take her hard against this bed...

She moaned quietly letting him know she liked it and encouraging him on.
His fingertips pressed into her flesh and the tip of his tongue glided across her skin, feeling the difference immediately as he circled it tightly before splaying his tongue against it again. James applied pressure, focusing on feeling the firm spot against the center of his tongue. There wasn’t much of a taste, not like when he went down on her but there were traces of that sweet nectar from when she came before. James pulled his mouth away, damp from eating her out, and he noticed the redness of her blemish-free skin; knowing this was due to his facial hair. His thumb traveled across that pink skin and stopped as it reached her hot, little button. James lowered his mouth to her cheek once again and kissed it while the heel of his thumb massaged her slowly.
