Summary: You convince Arvin to have a picnic in a special place with you and your daughter Angel
"Arvin, relax baby, she's alright," you laugh as you follow behind him and he follows her. You loved the view to be honest, his shoulders denim clad in that Jean jacket that fit him so nice and you loved how his arms were moving as he walked, not to mention his ass like a peach in those jeans. Aside from him the woods were beautiful right now with all the colors of fall, the reds and oranges and yellows and browns. He was on a mission, his only sight was her.
"I told ya I don't wanna come to the woods," he says as he takes steady strides behind her and she runs a little ways ahead giggling.
"Look how pretty it is though, and the weather is nice and cool, it's nice for a picnic and listen to her enjoy herself honey-Arvin what is that?" You ask wide eyed as his jacket moves just enough to reveal it in the back of his pants.
"We're just makin' sandwhiches the hell you need that for?" "I ain't gonna use it 'less I got to," he assures you without even looking back, still focused completely on her, "Hey, I can't hear ya, sing louder!" He calls out to her.
"I still hear he-" "Angel, sing louder!" It was hard to hear the crunches of leaves and sticks under her little foot steps over the much louder ones coming from your feet and his and he did not like that. "Angel Lenora Russel, when the night," he calls and sings
"has come," you both hear her sing back and you see a smile return to his face as he sings back, "and the land is dark"
"And the moon," she continues
You cross your arms over your chest and listen to your song birds as the walk goes on, "is the only," he sings back
"Stand by me," after she sings this line you decide you want in on it.
"And darlin darlin," you sing out to them, "darlin," he keeps going, smiling back at you over his shoulder
"Darlin," you add smirking and he winks playfully making you giggle
"stand," you hear her, you loved your daughter's voice
"by me," he gets louder as he is getting into the song, "and if the sky"
"we look up on," the little girl's voice sings back, almost knowing the words
"should tumble and fall," he sings back
"to the sea!" She gets excited and he chuckles
"just as long as you stand!"
"darlin!" He heard she was closer now so he starts making sneaky steps and you shake your head, "Arvin-," he looks back to you and smiles putting a finger to his lips and smiling, "by me!"
"won't you stand?! Won't you stand!?"
"by me!" He sings and lunches forward behind her to scoop her up from behind. She screams caught off guard then giggles and he tips her for cheek kisses and carries her on his hip.
You couldn't ask for a better day, you had been asking Arvin to do this for weeks now.
"I think there is a clear spot up here that's good," you tell them as you near a spot you remember where you and your family used to picnic. Stepping up to walk behind him you lean against his back to kiss his ear, "darlin, darlin, stand by me," you grab his butt as you sang by me and he jumps.
"what?" She asks curiously, "nothing baby, mommy is being a bad girl"
"you get spankins'," she giggles and points
"yeah she does" "no, I don't like spankins'," you tease, biting your thumb nail and making innocent eyes. "Mommy says she no likes spankins'" "yeah she does," he laughs and you smack the back of his head and steal his hat, putting it on her head.
"I'm daddy!" She giggles, "you're heavy, too many donuts"
"wonder where she got that from?"
"us," he laughs, "finally," he sits her down and straightens her dress down when you all finally arrive. "You okay darlin'?" He asks looking up at you stare at the space. "Darlin?"
"Huh?" "You just stared out there for about," he checks his watch, "five minutes, you okay?"
"yeah," you nod honestly and lay out the blanket. You had just got a vision of a memory. Your aunt and you with your Ma and Pa and your big sister there laughing before life took a turn for the worst.
"Angel, this is where mommy used to come with her mommy and daddy, and her big sister and her aunt"
"wow," she says amazed and happily accepts the peanut butter and jelly sandwich you give her as she runs around playing with the leaves. You and Arwin sit and you lean against him, "I think it's a good day to tell her"
"Lenora, 'mere," he calls her over and she comes running, crawling to sit on his lap.
"we have a surprise for you," you tell her.
"really?" She asks, a sparkle in her eye
"mhm, your mommy and I are gonna make you a big sister......"
"We thought you might want to name them"
"oh my gosh!" She covers her mouth that had formed a o shape with her hands
"we don't know if it's a brother or sister yet though," he tells her, tucking hair behind her ear and wiping jelly off of her cheeks, licking some of it.
"Lenny and Lenora," you repeat. "I like it, and it works for a boy or girl" "Lenny it is"
"I gonna be the best big sister," she giggles
"I'm sure you will, I was a big brother so I can show you how to"
"okay and Lenny can sing too?"
"After a while," he laughs
"and we can come here 'gin?"
"sure, if mommy says it's okay"
"oh, so I have to beg for weeks but she asks and it's sure?" You ask, pretending to be offended and he shrugs.
"I guess you say," he stands her up
"what can make feel this way," she joins him
"Damn, you are smooth Arvin Rusell"
"I'm gonna go," she tries to get up and run off, "stand by me while I eat, I can't watch you," he explains pulling her to sit back on his lap and holding her with a arm around her, smoothing her dress down. "Okay," she giggles not understanding as you give the three year old some milk and a kiss and you kiss his cheek.
"Arvin....you okay?" You ask seeing there is more going on, there's a reason he's like this, he simply nods and when you kiss him softly he kisses you back and smiles. "Angel, after daddy eats you can both go play. Do we have a rake in the car?"
"the trunk maybe?" He says confused and you get up to start running back to the car but he grips your wrist quickly. "You too."
"Arvin, I have a idea. I'm just gonna go get the ra-," he gently pulls you down so you're laying on your back on the blanket and holds your wrist down with one hand, her with his other arm on his side, his sandwhich had fallen and he didn't care. He leans over you and she giggles because he's holding her, he kisses you deeply erasing the idea you had from your head, "stay. We can all go back together and get the rake after I eat but as long as we are in the woods, you two are staying with me, understood?" He says a inch away from your lips, nose brushing against yours. What else can you do but nod and stay, and make him another sandwhich after you all sit back up that isn't covered in leaves.
