Charlie's POV
God, I've had enough serious conversation the last couple of weeks to last a freaking life time.
Sneaking off to the side of the yard I pulled my phone out.
Dualing David's number and preparing myself for a blunt short conversation. I knew he still didn't want to talk to me about anything besides Killian but I had to try.
"Yes?"
I furrowed my brow at the way he answer his phone.
Alright, asshole.
"Uh David? Hey, it's Charlie. I was wondering if you had a minute to talk?"
"I know it's you," he said.
"Oh, well. I--" I was already bothered by the way he decided to start this conversation off.
"What is it Charlie? Is Killian okay?"
"Uh, no. Yeah, he's fine. Everything's fine." I said.
"Then why are you calling? I'm about to go into a meeting with a new investor."
So he didn't give a shit if I was calling him unless it had something to
David's POV Charlie has never, ever talked to me that way but if this women thinks she's taking my son somewhere out of state without me she's absolutely lost it. Rescheduling my meeting with the new investor I call up the airlines. Book a flight for California tomorrow at 8am. How long has she been planning this? Why didn't she tell me when she bought the ticket what day she was going to go back and get their things? I know Killian can't stay here, he's never been away from his mother. But, I just got him. I don't want to be away from him either. So these will be a long few days together while we pack up all of their thing to bring back here.Has she started looking for a house here? Where are they going to live? Jacksonville is a big town. and I want them to be close to me. But I guess I don't have any right to tell her where she can and can't live. Shes
Charlie's POVGoing back to California was supposed to be simple. Pack up our things, ship it to Jacksonville, and go home. But I never anticipated that David would come with us, I really hope this doesn't turn into a cluster fuck and we can all get along.I have no idea what was going on between us, our phone conversation in the text that followed afterwards gave me more questions than answers. I was more confused than I've ever felt in my entire life.I close my eyes and pinch the top of my nose as regret weighs me down, I really did plan to tell the truth one day but I always pictured it happening on my terms not because of a funeral.I'm not ready or prepared to spend this much time with him.sitting on the porch waiting for David to pick us up I can see my hot breath fill the freezing air as I stare out onto the road, waiting for any sign of his car.Maybe he changed his mind, maybe he's not coming today, possibly luck will
David's POV"Daddy!""Hey there, big guy!""Mommy said you were going with us to California and helping pack?" He asked, wrapping himself around my legs.I picked him up in my arms, throwing him into the air."I am, is that okay with you?" I asked."Of course, I get to show you all of my favorite toys! Do you wanna see them?""I would love nothing more!" I said looking over to Charlie.I had no idea how these few days were going to go between her and I, and for the first time I was extremely nervous to be in her presence. The last time we talked on the phone didn't end well and I don't know how she's going to act towards me.This time thing will be different, I want Charlie. I want our family.I hope they can't hear just how loud my heart is beating, but by the time she stops directly in front of me, I'm sure she can."Hey David, thanks for offering to help. If you wanna put Killian in his seat I'll put our
David's POV An hour of packing up his room and helping Charlie pack up other little things around the house turned into five, way past his normal bedtime. "Alright monkey, up the stairs. Go get ready for bed." "Awwwww, now?" He asked. "Killian, your mother said it's time for bed buddy." Charlies eyes fell quickly to mind as Killian sighed dramatically. Picking himself up off the floor and dragging himself towards the stairs, he turned around to look at me. "Daddy? Can you tuck me in?" He asked. "I would love nothing more," I said. Once more I followed out little boy up the stairs, and he walked me through his nightly routine. I stood outside the bathroom while he took a shower and brushed his teeth. Asking me to pick out pajamas for him, I went back into his room and dug around until I found an awesome set of dinosaur pants. Tossed them to him in the bathroom, after what I felt like three seconds he came bar
My eyes fell to his lips as he pressed into me. "That was perfect david." And in a second, our lips connected. -------------- My door closed with a thunk as I brought my finger to my lips, we could barley keep quiet through our giggles and hushed whispers. As we stripped one another of our clothes, stumbling our way to my bed. Tripping over my own two feet I smashed into David. Pushing him down into the bed, the giggles that filled the room bringing my heart back to life. "Shhh. Killian will hear us." David said, chuckling. "Then I really should find a way to shut you up." I crashed my lips into a hid as he pressed me into the mattress, his cock painting my skin with precum. God, the moment he swipped my tears away in the hall I was done for. Gone, lost in a sea of endless pleasure. I scooted myself up, legs spreading to accommo
Being back in Jacksonville permanently felt good, felt like home.But looking for a new home a new job, was a different story.No one wanted to hire someone who up and left the last job without notice.I might have savings built up, but now one wanted to rent me a home much less take out a mortgage with out a job.All I wanted was a cute little house, a big yard, in a good school district.Why did that have to be so hard?Stress on top of stress doesn't bode well for me.Not knowing where things stood with David and I also stressed me out.That night in California, it seemed like everything was coming together. But since we've been home we haven't spoken much about us.He only calls and comes by for Killian, although I can't be upset with him for that. Killian loves talking to him every night before bed.All my anger for the way he's treated me has dissipated, he still owned my entire heart. And when he
David's POV Asking Charlie and Killian to move in with me was a pivotal moment in our relationship. I was finally done harbouring the hatred and anger towards her. Finally ready to let go of everything that happened in the past, to move forward. Together. As a family. Pulling up to Charlie's house, a new sense of calm washed over me. Im so ready for this new chapter between us, so ready to start our lives together with our son. "Daddy!!!" Killian yelled as he came running at me full speed to jump up into my arms. "Hey buddy, how are you?" "Good, mommy said you guys wanted to talk to me about something?" "Yes, come on. Let's go and sit on the porch." Meeting Charlie's eyes over Killian's head I could see the wariness all over her face. If this conversation didn't go like we expected, if Killian said no to all of us living together.. I'm not sure what this would mean for us. "Killian, daddy wan
David's POV Living with Charlie and Killian these past two weeks have been nothing short of the best two weeks of my life, like a dream come true. We're finally together, finally a family. And I couldn't be happier. Coming home to them every single day is the best feeling in the world. Walking in the front door Charlie and killian are seated at the kitchen table, homework scattered over the surface, heads bent in concentration, working hard to solve whatever problem they are working on. When Charlie looks up and meets my eyes I swear my heart skips a beat, She's the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on. God, this women. I would walk to the ends of the earth for her. "Daddy! You're home, finally. Can we pleeeeease take a break from homework now mommy?" Killian asked. "Sure baby." It took all of 3 seconds for Killian to climb down from his chair and start running towards me. Bending down to scoo

EpilogueDavid's POVCharlie doesn't know it, but today nine years ago was the first time we crossed each others paths.Two failed marriages.One drunken night.A hidden child.And a funeral, lead to this.Lead to me being with the one women who I'm sharing the rest of my life with.I never intended to start up anything with Charlie.Yes, I fantasized about her constantly, moved in next door just to be closer to her. But this? I never could of dreamed up anything even close to this.The strong pull I felt towards her when we first met terrified me, but I didn't have any idea what terrifying actually felt like until I realized that I was the one who wanted everything with her.But I wasn't sure she wanted everything with me.I glance down at her, sleeping peacefully curled into my side. She's stirring with the morning sun filtering in through the windows, sun showing the natural red highlights t
David's POV "I- please fuck me." She whispers, trying to reach for my cock. "You know I can't. Not yet, not until the doctor gives the okay Charlie." I'm just as disappointed as she is, but my one track mind is already making my way back to how her breast feels in my mouth. My tongue can't stop swirling around and playing with her nipple. My hand is like a magnet as it strokes up and down my shaft. "My pussy is throbbing, please." She whimpers again. Its killing me not being able to satisfy her right now, but I can't hurt her. She moans once more, stuffing her breast in my face as her hand seeks out her clit. I stand up, pushing her breast together, sticking my shaft between them. Pressing my thumb around her nipples while her milk sprays all over me. She reaches up playing with my balls and trying to lick the tips that peaks through her cleavage when I thrust up. "Fuck yes Charlie." Her hand reutrns to her
David's POV Just as I finish reading the cute little note Charlie put inside my lunch there's a light knock on the door. I hate being here while she's at home with the boys, and my three weeks off since Henry was born weren't entirely enough. The door handle turns before I have the chance to tell whomever it is to come in. In walks Charlie, shutting the door and locking it behind her. "Char? Is everything okay?" I immediately jump up. "Uh. Yes and no." Panic washes over me, is something wrong with the boys? "No! No, it's nothing serious," she exclaims upon seeing my expression and I plop down in my desk chair, trying to will my heart to slow down. "Where are the boys?" "With my mom, she came over to help with stuff around the house and I decided to run some errands around town." "And your warrants brought you to my office?" I question suspiciously. "When you're suppose to be at home r
David's POVNurse perky comes in to check on Charlie, waking her up."Hey honey, when did you get back?" She asks, sleep still heavy in her voice."A little over an hour ago."The nurse fumbles with her chart, checking her vitals and leaving as I sit down next to Charlie on her bed."Ready for another?" I whisper.She bites her lip and smiles, like she always does when I ask."I just pushed out this one David. Give it awhile and ask again." She laughs quietly."We already got married while I was extremely pregnant, people thought it was a shotgun wedding. I want people to know we're married because we love each other deeply. Not because you got me pregnant, twice.""Maybe I got you pregnant because I love you deeply, both times.""Yeah," she scoffs. "Okay, we both know that neither of us meant for this to happen.""I know, but I'm glad I did," I kiss her. "Our boys are perfect, you're perfect.""They
David's POVI'm handed our little baby boy, and he's perfect. So perfect.Where Killian is the spitting image of me, our newest little boy has Charlie's chin, her cheeks, with big round eyes, and my eyes color. He really is the most amazing blend of both of us.I sigh, enthralled by how perfect he is. I have the two most perfect boys in my life, I feel tears streaming down my cheeks, even though I can't stop smiling.The nurse Charlie was shouting at tries to reach for him, but I don't want to let go."I just need to clean him up a bit more," she reassures me. "I'll give him back," she says and I reluctantly hand him over.I look back at Charlie, laying in bed.My wife.My Charlotte."Are you okay?" She hesitates, and I don't care what she says, my stupid comment from the night she told me has been embedded into her brain. No matter what I've done these past seven or so months, I can't seem to convince her enough t
Charlie's POVThe last seven months have passsd in a blur, trying to keep up with all of the doctors appointments, morning sickness, and chasing Killian around has completely wiped me out everyday.But this, this moment is what we've all been waiting for."Push! You're doing great, just give us another good push." The perky blonde nurse encourages."Jesus fuck, I fucking hate you!" I shout, and then bare down."FUUCCKKKKKKK!""Oh, you're a feisty one," perky nurse enthuses. Her actual name is Haley or Hallie or some shit."Your baby is going to need all of that wonderful energy as soon as he come out into the world."Oh. My. God.I will kill her, this women is unshakeable. No matter how many vulgar words I shout at her she's still sooooo fucking perky. Turns out the first words our baby is going to hear will be the four letter kind. Pain brings out the potty mouth in me, apparently.Which bring a
Charlie's POV When I calm down and the tears stop, I can finally see without the bluebirds. Searching the floor for my keys to go back to my parents. I sniff, wiping my nose with the sleeve of my sweater. Body shaking with each deep breath I take, I've got to get out of here. I'm startled when the front door opens. "Go away David," my lips tremble. "Char, I'm so sorry." He falls to the floor on his knees next to me, trying to hold onto me while I give him a dirty look. Pause "I'm such an asshole. I- I'm-." He sighs. "Clearly at a loss for words, I don't know what came over me Charlie. I was shocked.." he exhaled. "I can see why you didn't want to tell me sooner." My whole body is shaking uncontrollably now as I stand up to step away from him, he gets up too. My upset and sadness turns to anger as I lift ny hand and slap him right across the face. "I would never, never hide this from you. I've done that once and
Charlie's POVThree days after Killian's party and I still haven't talked myself into telling David that I'm pregnant.I just, I don't know how to tell him.I don't know how this happened, I mean I know how it happened but I'm still on the shot and we almost always use condoms.After dropping Killian off at my parents for the weekend I've resolved myself into telling David, he has to know about this.As soon as I open the front door, the entire living room is illuminated with candles. Not a single surface left untouched.What is going on?I can just make out the dim features of David's face under all the flickering lights."I- David, what is all of this?""Itll always be you, Char." He smiles."Our love has survived the darkest of times, and my obsession with you has never wavered you and our little boy mean the world to me, I want you to know that no matter what I'll forever be here for you two. Always."
