Chapter Thirteen
Jaxon
I take a step back in amusement, watching a panicked Brianne shuffle from foot to foot as she peeks out of the window. Her face just gets paler and paler as her Grammy gets closer to the door.
“Relax, your Grammy is all kinds of awesome,” I tell her as I absentmindedly rub the back of my head again.
Damn, she really did get me good. I still can’t believe that I was so damn distracted by getting everything ready that I didn’t even hear Carson’s big ass car pull up or even hear Brianne when she came in. Well, I guess I blame it on the hope that has been blooming deep inside me that what I have planned for us will work, I don’t even want to broach the fact that nerves were clogging my brain as well. Never in a million years did I think that it would be so easy to get Bri to give us a chance. But it happened, that kiss we shared spoke the words I came here to hear, and I am fucking ecstatic. I haven’t even gotten to the best part of my plan yet.
“Oh shit!” Bri’s panicked curse brings a grin to my face when her Grammy starts knocking at the door. She shuffles awkwardly toward the door and opens it slowly.
Her Grammy takes a sharp breath as her eyes go straight to Bri massive sexy bump, “By God, it’s true!” Grammy says on a shocked breath before her gaze turns hard as she glares at a blushing Bri. “Brianne Camilianna Bentley, why am I the last to hear about you being with child?” she continues, pointing an accusatory finger at Brianne.
Well then, shit, meet fan because Grammy just used Bri’s full names and that is a sign that Grammy is seriously not happy.
“Gram-”
“Oh, but this is great news, I’m going to get to see my great grandbabies!” She cuts Bri off, and I grin when I see the glint of happiness and excitement in Gram’s eyes.
“But you,” she points at me, disapproval taking over her features as her eyes narrow.
“M…me?” I stutter surprised as my grin vanishes. Gram has always liked me, I’ve heard her and Mrs B talking about how Bri and I would make a wonderful couple. I did not expect her to disapprove.
“Yes you!” this time she points at me with her cane, and my eyes widen. “Why is that momma of yours talking so badly about my baby and her babies?” I drop my head in shame, not knowing how the hell I’m going to answer that.
My mother really is making life difficult for me.
“I don’t know Gram,” My hand goes through my hair before I continue, “Maybe she just needs to-”
“She needs a good ass whooping, that’s what she needs,” she cuts me off like she did Bri earlier. “Making it sound like my Breezy Bri is some kind of floozy,” she grumbles under her breath so low, I’m not sure we were supposed to hear that.
“Gram’s come on in and have a seat, and I’ll go make you some tea,” Brianne says as she ushers her Grammy inside and giving me a look that I can’t really decipher.
“Then you get right back on here and tell me everything, I’m so happy you and Jaxon are finally going to be together,” Gram says as she slowly makes her way toward the living room and her mood changing again to excited and happy.
I swear, her moods are going to give me whiplash by the end of the day.
“I’m sorry about my mother Gram’s I really have no idea what’s wrong with her and why she isn’t happy for me and Bri,” I say with a sigh. I honestly have no idea why my mother is so against me being with Bri or why she is finding it so hard to come to terms with the fact that she is going to become a grandmother.
Most people would be ecstatic about the news, but no, not my freaking mother.
“Well, she better come around before I decide her to introduce her behind to my cane,” Gram’s answers angrily. I really do get why she feels like this because if I’m honest, I feel the same way too. How fucked up is that that that’s how I feel about my own mother at the moment?
But I guess I can only blame the poison apples that are Sabrina and her mother. I’m positive they are the ones to blame for my mother’s recent behavior.
“Here you go Grams,” Bri comes back with a tray with tea, juice and a beer on it.
First, she gives her Grammy her tea then passes the ice-cold beer to me before settling down next to me with her glass of juice in hand.
“Now, let’s hear it.” Gram’s says as she takes a cautious sip of her hot tea before continuing, “I want every single detail,” the excitement in her eyes brings a grin to my lips.
An hour later and Gram’s is ready to go home. She asked all kinds of embarrassing questions during her inquisition. She actually wanted to know every single detail of my relationship with Bri. There was a point where I just wanted to hide my face for all eternity, especially when she asked Brianne how it was when we first had sex.
And Bri, the vixen that she is, actually answered with the dirtiest answer possible, an answer so dirty that it caused my wayward appendage to react viciously, which resulted in me shifting awkwardly in my seat to try to adjust my painfully hard dick.
And then to make matters worse and embarrass me even more, she and her Gram’s noticed how uncomfortable I was they both winked at me. They fucking winked!
“Okay honey, keep me updated on those two bundles of joy,” her Grams says as she steps into her car.
“I promise I will,” Bri answers lovingly. She was actually very pleased that she wasn’t in so much trouble as she thought she would be. Grammy’s excitement and happiness for us overrode the irritation that Bri didn’t go tell her about us and the babies as soon as she got back.
Brianne and I both wave at Grams when she pulls away and drives off.
“I can’t believe she is pushing eighty-five and still stubborn enough to insist on driving,” Brianne says as a happy smile grazes her lips.
“You know, I love your Grams, but I am so happy she finally fucking left,” I say instead of commenting on her Grams driving observation.
“Why’s that?” She looks up at me curiously.
“Well I have a surprise for you and want you to be the first one to see it,” I say, my secretive smile taking form.
“What are you talking about?”
“Come on Breezy Bri,” I say, using the pet name her Grams has been using since Brianne was in pigtails.
“You are making me nervous,” she says cautiously making her way back into the house, careful not step on her long dress that hugs her bump and body so perfectly. She looks absolutely fucking stunning in that boob tube long dress. I can’t wait to strip her out of it later.
“You didn’t go installing some badass gaming system in my house, did you?” I chuckle at her question. “I seriously hope not; I know my brother’s and your nerdisome has no freaking boundaries!”
“No, no gaming system has been installed… yet.” I wink at her as I close the door behind us.
“Okay, so what’s this surprise you speak of?” She asks, her hand absentmindedly rubbing the bump that seems to be growing by the second. Seriously, that bump is bigger every time I see her. It’s amazing how a woman’s body can take this kind of stretch and still look fucking beautiful.
“You want to feel?” She asks shyly when she notices me staring at her stomach too long. “They’re playing right now,” she continues, a smile forming on her lips.
“They are?!” I don’t hesitate to gently place my hand on her bump. My eyes widen in disbelief when I feel movement beneath my hand.
My chest swells with pride and joy as I slide my hand across her body, moving with the movements within.
“This is amazing Brianne,” I say in awe. I look up from her belly right into her eyes wanting to say the words that are burning at the tip of my tongue. But I don’t, I don’t think Bri is ready to hear them yet, so I opt for just half of them.
“I love them so much,” Her breath hitches in shock at my words and I give her a genuine smile to show her just how much I meant that.
“Okay…” She clears her throat from the emotion I can see in her green eyes before continuing, “So, about that surprise…”
Right. Shit, I was pulled into this exquisite moment that I forgot that I was about to go show her what I have done.
“You have to put this on first,” I say as I pull the blindfold from my back pocket. Yeah, I came prepared.
She gives a wary look that brings a secretive smile to my face. She slowly turns around, and I blindfold her before taking her by the hips and carefully lead her to one of her rooms.
“Okay, so you ready?” I ask as I open the door to the specific room. Now, I’m a bit nervous about this. I mean what if this isn’t what she wanted?
“Yes!” She replies excitedly.
I slowly untie the blindfold and hold my breath. The moment her eyes fluttered open she gasps loudly, making me panic even more because I’m not sure why she’s gasping like that. Is it because she hates it… because she loves it… because she’s just surprised?
“Oh. My. God.” She says softly as she gapes at the very unorganized room.
“Nothing has been done yet because I was hoping we could do everything together,” I say carefully studying her expression as she studies the room full of baby stuff. From the two baby cots that still need putting together, the white rocking chair, the many toys to the chest of drawers that match the cots.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure what all to buy, so I only bought the couple of things the helpful woman at the baby store suggested.
“I love it, Jax!” She says, her eyes shining with tears before grabbing the back of my head and pulling me down for a kiss.
Her lips leave mine as quickly as they connected, and she shuffles further into the room. She picks up the color pallets sitting on the chest of drawers and arches an eyebrow at me.
“Well, I couldn’t choose a color to paint the room, so I thought you and I could choose one together once we know the babies’ sexes,” I shrugged, rubbing the back of my head.
She just smiles up at me before studying the room further. First, she groans before bursting into a fit of laughter. She picks up the few baby clothes laid beside the color pallets.
“Star Wars, really?” She asks between her guffaws as she lifts the… I think they call those baby growns? Either way, there’s a picture of Darth Vader with Storm Pooper written on beneath it.
“What?” I smile. “I just had to; it’s so freaking cute!” I tell her grabbing the other piece of clothing that has a baby Darth Vader in a nappy on it with the words The Force that Awakens You, written underneath.
“Oh my God Jax, you are going to turn my babies into little geeks,” She laughs, lovingly holding the clothes to her.
“Our,” I correct.
“What?” She looks at me like she doesn’t have a clue of what the hell I’m talking about.
“I’m going to turn our babies into geeks,” I clarify.
“Yes, yes you are,” she smiles up at me.
“Well, technically this surprise was for the babies,” I say breaking our kiss. She looks at me with confusion swirling in her eyes. “Mommy’s surprise is next,” I say, grabbing her hand.
“What are you talking about?” She asks as I pull her out of the soon to be baby room.
“Come on,” I say instead of answering as I lead her to her bedroom.
I open the door, and she immediately gasps again when she takes in the few rose bouquets and the dozens of rose petals leading the way to her bed where a few boxes of different chocolates are resting.
“This is to show mommy how much I appreciate her,” I whisper in her ear as she stares at her surroundings.
“Mommy is happy and speechless right about now,” she says turning to face me.
“I’m-” My words are cut off when she pulls me down for another hot kiss.
I don’t hesitate to kiss her back with as much need as she’s kissing me with. I slowly guide her to the bed and lay her on it before pushing the chocolates off, my lips never leaving hers. I finally pull away and gently start getting rid of her dress followed by my own clothes.
Tonight, I’m not going to fuck Brianne senseless; I’m going to make sweet love to her. I’m going to show her just how much she and our babies mean to me. I’m going to make her mine.
Finally, I have won the woman of my dreams, and I am not about to fuck this perfect chance to have her forever!
