A Home For Christmas Chapter Eighteen
Julia "Julia?" The moment he says my name I instantly know that I was right, it is him but I'm still confused about why he's here. Whatever the reason I can't think about it now and I know what I need to do. "Who are you?" Yes, that's right, I play the dumb card and hope that I can make it work. "Julia, It's Josh. Do you remember me?" I shake my head as I pull Nina in closer to me. I have to keep this act up because if I don't and he figures everything out then he could destroy my world and I won't allow that to happen. "I don't know who you are, I'm sorry." He gives me a confused look while I sit here holding on too tight to the emotionless expression that I've managed to place on my face. "I know It's been a few years since we last saw each other but I haven't changed that much and neither have you." He's persistent I'll give him that but he won't win here I can't let him. Seeing his face is a blast from the past that I don't want to think of right now, it's too painful and I have
A Home For Christmas Chapter Nineteen
Riley “What the hell was that about?” The moment I close the door to the waiting room I'm on Josh's ass. He lets out a long sigh as he runs his hand through his air and flops down in one of the shitty plastic chairs that they have in this room, that along with the look that's on his face makes my stomach drop. Something is wrong here, I just know it. “Josh!” I trying to remain calm but I'm failing miserably. I'm feeling so many emotions right now that I feel like my head is about to explode. “Riley… I…” He's stuttering and it only seems to make me angry but this is my best friend here and I need to try and keep my cool, at least until he explains things anyway. He's clearly struggling to get his words out so I decided to take a deep breath and help him out. “You know, Julia?” He nods sliently answering me. “How? Where from?” He stands up and starts pacing the room remaining silent and seriously starting to test my patience. “Josh, for fuck sake please, just talk to me!” He turns bac
A Home For Christmas Chapter Twenty
Riley It's been almost a week since I last saw Julia and Nina, and it's been one of the worst times of my life. After I finished speaking to my Mom at the hospital I went to Julia's room even though I already knew that she would be gone, I still had to see for myself because there was still a small nagging part of me trying to convince myself that she was still there, but there was no trace of her ever being in that room, and it hit me like a tone of bricks. In a way that I wasn't expecting. The girl has been on my mind since the first moment that I saw her and as much as I've been confused about my seemingly insane fascination with her, it was at that moment, as I stood in her empty hospital room that I realized that it wasn't any insane fascination that kept bringing me back to her, it was her, just her. That sassy attitude of hers that I got to see the first time that we met and that cheeky smile that she gets when she doesn't think anyone is looking, or how her nose scrunches u
A Home For Christmas Chapter Twenty One
JuliaFive days ago"Where are we going, momma?" After we walked through downtown New York, we headed for the bus station. The storm still hadn't completely settled and it was starting to get wet so I needed to figure out a plan and fast and that started with us getting a bus away from town and away from life as we know it."It's going to be one big adventure!" Her little face lights up with excitement as her body bounces around in the seat at the idea of an adventure but the truth is that I have no idea of where we are going or where we are even going to stay tonight. Yes, I planned on us leaving but not for a few more weeks so with no final plan in place I'm at a loss right now.We ride the bus until it takes us to the outskirts of the town and for some reason, I decide that this is our stop. Of course, the moment that we are off the bus and it's out of sight, I instantly regretted my decision. I have no idea where we are so getting off here was a pretty shit idea and on top of that
A Home For Christmas Chapter Twenty Two
JuliaBy some miracle, I managed to find some supplies and get them back to the cottage without getting caught and without Nina noticing what I was doing. I made up a game that involved her finding certain color stones that kept her distracted, it helps that although she may be smart for her age she's still only 4 years old and doesn't put much thought into where her food comes from and for that I'm grateful. I also manage to find some more clothes for Nina and I can't wait to get her changed, she's been in her clothes for a while and I hate it.We get back into the cottage with ease and I secure the doors once more but for some reason, it feels different in here now which is stupid. I checked to make sure the place was still empty when we got back so I'm not sure why I'm feeling this paranoia but I decide to shake it off and just put it down to our situation."Are we going to live here forever, Mommy?" Nina's cute little voice drags me from my disturbed mind and I'm relieved. I look o
A Home For Christmas Chapter Twenty Three
Julia Mario Deluca? You have got to be kidding me. How? I don't get it, it's too soon. My palms feel slick with sweat and I swear I could pass out at any moment but I try my best to hide it as much as I can, "Who?" I give him my best-confused face but I'm not sure if he believes any part of it. He takes a step towards me as he tuts causing me to take a step towards his to keep him away from Nina. "Now, now Miss Willow. Are we really going to play this game? Yep, he's already got my number but I don't care, I'm going to keep playing it for as long as I can. I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to be able to convince him enough for him to leave but if I can distract him long enough then I can... well, I do not know what the fuck I'm going to do or how I'm going to get out of this but still, I have to try. "I think you have the wrong person." His smirk only gets bigger and even more scarier. "Oh, you do, do you?" I nod while I try and calm my body but I can feel sweat starting to bead o
A Home For Christmas Chapter Twenty Four
JuliaI open my eyes groaning in pain. I don't know what that fucker hit me with but I swear there's still ringing in my head. Within a few seconds, my senses come back and I drag my ass up from the floor. I'm in a world of pain but none of that matters as I push my body as hard as I can. "NINA!" I scream my little girl's name as loud as I can but there's no reply.I know there won't be a reply but still, I keep calling her. I start looking around the house for her even though I already know that she's gone. My heart is pounding, my whole body is shaking and sweating and I know for a fact that I have never felt this scared in my entire life!"FUCK!" The tears that I have been fighting to hold back fall free hard and fast and I fall to the floor while I scream and cry out all of my pain. What am I going to do? I have no idea where to even start looking for her. I know Mario Deluca's name of course, but I have no idea what he even looks like, never mind where to find him. I've never met
A Home For Christmas Chapter Twenty Five
Riley "Come on, RI. It's been ages since we hit the club!" It's been 15 minutes since we left yet another alleyway that turned out to be pointless and Josh hasn't shut up about us getting out. I'll give it to the guy he's been by my side for the last 5 days or has it been 6? I'm not even sure anymore. What I do know is this guy is loyal to a fault and is doing everything in his power to help me find Julia and Nina and he deserves a night off. "I'm good, but you should go." He shakes his head but as he goes to speak I watch his face suddenly turn pale. "Hmm, Riley?" he points out of the window behind me and I swear I almost brake my neck with how fast I snap it back to see what he's looking at. No way... It can't be... As if reading my mind Josh confirms that what I'm seeing is real. There standing on the front steps and banging holly hell out of my front door is Julia. Fuck, she's here. At this point, my brain seems to shut down and my body goes on autopilot as I stop questioning ev

A Home For Christmas Epilogue Part Two
Julia It's almost fifteen minutes later when we pull into Mandy's driveway and my curiosity is piqued even more when I see Riley's mom, Grandad, Josh and none other than little Miss Nina standing on the front steps. "What's going on?" I'm less worried now and more excited as I see the people that I love on the steps as Jenny steps out from behind them with the twins in her arms right before Josh leans down and takes Jacob from her. I would question the fact that Nina is here even though I know that she left the house for the school bus this morning but it just so happens that Josh was the one to take her for the bus today and then he drove separately from us... It doesn't take a genius to work out what happened there. "Let's go and find out shall we?" He gets out of the car and quickly makes his way around to my side and opens my door before holding out his hand for me to take and we head towards the others as they all continue to look at us with cheesy smiles on their faces. As so
A Home For Christmas Epilogue Part One
Julia 5 years later I slowly open my eyes feeling groggy and insanely tired, inwardly groaning when I check the alarm clock beside me and realize that it's going to start blaring in exactly four minutes. Fuck my life! I shouldn't complain about getting up, not after I've had a solid 9 hours of sleep but still, between a bed that feels like I'm sleeping on fluffy clouds and an incredibly handsome husband wrapped around me how can I not? But with kids to get ready for the day and a job to get to I dont have much choice! Of course, Riley has always made it clear that I dont have to work and I did try it for a while but the truth is, the moment that I first walked into my office, I knew that it was the right thing for me. Of course, I love my children more than anything in this world but I can't be a stay-at-home mom. I need to be out working, helping to earn money and know that I'm contributing to their financial support. And honestly, being stuck inside the house for too long drives
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Eight
Julia"When will Daddy be home from work?" I can't help but smile as my little girl asks me that one simple question. It's only been a day since she 'asked' Riley to be her Dad and yet, I swear that she has said the word 'Dad' a thousand times and I'm not even sure who loves it more... her or Riley.When Riley had the conversation with her I didn't fully understand what he was doing, can't say I fully agreed with him, that was until he told me his reasons and I got it, I did, and I still do, and I think he did the right thing. Of course, being honest is the right thing to do but in this case, a little white lie seems the best way to go. She's never going to remember the conversation but she'll always remember Riley as being her Dad. besides, when we had a chat we agreed that when she is old enough we will tell her the story so it won't always be a secret."He won't be long, baby. How about you make him a picture while you wait with your new colors and coloring book?" She nods excitedl
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Seven
Riley "Why don't I haves a Daddy?" I'm sitting at the breakfast bar doing some work on my laptop while Julia takes a bath when Nina walks over to me and asks me that. She's been in the lounge playing with Josh so I don't know where that's come from. I look down at her and see sadness all over her cute little face and it breaks my heart. It's been almost two weeks since we found out that I am her Dad, but we decided to wait until after Christmas and New Year to tell her in case she got upset by the news. Of course, I'm praying that she doesn't but it is a possibility and none of us want to ruin her first Christmas and birthday with a roof over her head. I get off the stool and duck down so that I'm face-to-face with her. "What did you say, sweetheart?" I'm pretty sure that I know what I heard but I want to double-check just in case I'm somehow wrong. "Why don't I haves a Daddy?" Fuck, I was hoping that I was wrong. A million thoughts swarm my head while the words I want to say lay o
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Six
Riley Julia hands both Josh and me some beers before saying goodnight to us and heading for the bedroom but there are two problems with that one, I didn't get a kiss goodnight and that's not how our relationship is going to go. There will be a kiss shared last thing at night and first thing in the morning at the very least. The second problem is that she's heading towards Nina's room. She had better just be checking on her before she goes to our room, even though I only left Nina's room around 30 minutes ago so I can't imagine she checking on her already but she's used to being with her all the time so I could be wrong so decide to check. I creep up behind her and whisper in her ear "And where do you think you're going?" It's really hard not to laugh when she jumps but it's the cutest sight, and then she laughs her beautiful laugh as she turns around to face me. "I'm going to bed. I just said goodnight."She has such an innocent confused look on her face that it's hard not to just sc
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Five
Riley Nina's yawning brings my mind back to the room. "Are you tired, sweet girl?" My mom asks her. Her little head bops up and down as she goes to speak, but she just ends up yawning again. It's only 6.30, but it's been a long day for her and after an early start, I imagine she's more than ready for bed. After a few minutes of chatting, I start to gather our stuff while Julia gets Nina all wrapped up warm before we head out into the cold. "I'd best make a move too," Josh says as he removes the tiara from his head. His words give me a strange feeling, and I'm not sure what to do with it. We've spent every Christmas day together since we left school and his parents left to go travelling. Him saying he's heading off seems wrong even if I do appreciate him thinking about my family... my family. "Where are you going?" Julia asks him. He looks at me and then her before smiling, but I know full well that he's forcing that smile. "I'm going to head to the club." She tilts her head a littl
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Four
Riley “You know, son. There was a time when I started to believe that I wouldn't see this moment.” My Mom says as she comes to stand next to me. “What do you mean?” She gives me a warm smile before nodding her head towards the piano where Julia is standing with her arms around my little girl as they watch my Grandfather play the piano. "You with a family. I'd always hoped that I'd get to be a grandma one day but after what happened with... Well, I didn't get the impression that you wanted to have that anymore, but I'm so glad that you did. I'm so glad that you went with your gut when you met Julia." One thing I've always been able to rely on my mum for is her honesty, and right now hearing her say all those things makes me insanely grateful for that trade in her. "I didn't think I would either. If truth be told Mom, I knew that there was something special about her the first time I saw her, but I fought it and yet, suddenly, I was seeing her all the time without trying and then...
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Three
Julia "Mommy, mommy, wake up!" My mind feels groggy as I'm pulled from my sleep by noise and when I go to move my whole body feels like I've just done the work out of a lifetime but as memories of last night with Riley resurface, I don't care about any discomfort I feel right now because it was worth every single second of it. "Mommy!" My eyes snap open when I realise that it's Nina calling me and I swiftly sit up to see her, grateful when I take the blanket with me, I'm naked underneath and that is the last thing my little girl needs to see. I don't even remember falling asleep last night, never mind falling asleep in Riley's bed. Jesus, I'm an arse, I hope he didn't mind. "Good morning, baby." She looks to a still sleeping Riley whos laying beside me then a massive smile plasters across her face. Suddenly she climbs up onto the bed and dives straight for Riley landing on top of him and scaring the shit out of him. A laugh burst out of me while Nina laughed hysterically. "Well, go
A Home For Christmas Chapter Fifty Two
Riley How I manage to control myself when she gasps at the sight of my cock I have no idea but somehow, I manage it. I can see that she's nervous and I get it but I'm going to be as gentle as I can be which is going to be hard. My dick is so hard that I want to nail her to the bed and have her screaming my name. But this is her first time and I'm going to make it as special as I can. Besides, there will be more than enough time for harder sex in the future and going by how Julia has responded to my small bits of roughness with her breasts I think she's going to like the harder sex and I can't wait to find out for myself. I climb back onto the bed and place myself between her legs, she's still coming down from her orgasm, her pussy still soaking wet and so so inviting. I cover her body with mine and kiss her like my life depends on it as I line myself up. "Are you still sure, baby? Remember you can always change your mind." She shakes her head no while smiling. "I'm ready. I'm ready
