THANK YOU TO THE AMAZING/SUPER TALENTED Crashdown_51 for the kick ass banner! You did it again Joye!Summary: Sequel to What happens in Vegas... You don't really need to read that one to understand this one but it wouldn't hurt.
Now that Max and Liz are married will they really have their happily ever after? This fic will deal with married life and all the up’s and down’s that come along with it. I am going to skip anywhere from a few months to a few years between some chapters. It shouldn’t be confusing though.<center>
</center>~~Chapter 1~~
~*~Max~*~
It’s been two years since Liz and I got married for the second time and life has been great. Business is great as always and we’ve even added a studio to the house so Liz can work from home. My relationship with my parents is something that I have to get used to but it’s much better now. We have dinner with them at least once a month now and invite Kris, Michael and Maria over often. I’m a rich man and I don’t mean financially. I have great friends and now a great family.
“I love this.” I say staring out the window of the plane. We are on our way to Puerto Rico. I try to keeps things interesting with random trips such as these.
“I know.” She says and looks out the window.
“Do you think anything is missing?” She asks.
“No, we got everything I think. Whatever you forgot we can buy once we are there.” I pour myself a drink and offer her one.
“That’s not what I meant. I mean kids Max.” Ahh kids. I should have known. After the miscarriages I’ve tried to avoid this topic. I never know what to say and don’t want to upset her.
“I told you it doesn’t matter to me. It will happen when it happens. I enjoy our life right now. Not many people can just pick up and go wherever they want like we do.” I sit back and take my jacket off.
“Your right.” She flashes me one of her famous smiles and I’m a total goner. This woman can get me to do anything just by smiling at me and I’m not complaining one bit.
~~~~
“I don’t want to go back home. Let’s stay here in this room forever.” It’s our last day here and Liz is still in bed.
“I would love that baby but I have to get back to work or else Michael will kill me.” I pick up the phone and order room service for breakfast. It doesn’t look like Liz will be getting out of bed anytime soon.
“So sell the company and stay here with me.” I laugh and walk over to the bed joining her once again.
“If I did that we wouldn’t be able to stay here at all.” She scoots over and leans into my chest.
“Humm very true. I guess we can go back home then.” I lean against the headboard with her against my chest admiring the view of the ocean.
“We need to hire a new architect. Michael wants me to help him this time.” We sit out on the balcony and enjoy our breakfast.
“I think that’s a good idea. Do you have any prospects?” Lately Liz has gotten more interested in my business.
“Yeah, a few. He has some interviews lined up for next week.”
“That’s good. So you guys are really busy now then?”
“After Johns project we’ve gotten a lot of work. It’s too much for the staff we have no now.” Our business has almost doubled actually.
“You’ll find someone soon.” Our flight doesn’t leave for a few hours so we spend the rest of the time doing some last minute shopping for gifts. We have made it a habit to bring back something for Maria, Michael and Kris from everywhere we go. Kris has started a magnet collection and insists on one from everywhere, even when I go away on business.
~*~Liz~*~
“So what did you get me?” Kris is over for the afternoon.
“I missed you to.” I laugh and grab the bag of things we got her.
“Ohh another magnet. Thanks.” She ignores the rest of the stuff and I have to laugh.
“So how was it? And please don’t say perfect yet again.” She rolls her eyes and sips her drink.
“Ok you need a man. I hate seeing you like this. What happened to that guy you met at the coffee shop? What was his name again?”
“Darin, and I’ll just say ugh. He went on and on about his Porsche showing me his key chain every five seconds then would come up with lame excuses as to why we was driving a Ford. Not that I care or anything but he was a liar. All he had was a key chain that you can get anywhere. Total loser.”
“Sorry. You’ll meet someone someday.”
“Someday? Wow, I can’t wait for that.” Sensing that this is getting her down I suggest we go get some food.
We walk around town window shopping when Kris spots someone we used to talk to every once in a while. We chat for a few then I head home. Max should be there soon.
~*~Max~*~
“Honey I’m home!” It’s cheesy I know but I love saying it.
“You are such a dork.” Liz greets me with a kiss on the cheek then runs back to the kitchen.
“What’s all this?” I ask when I see all the food she has prepared.
“I was in the mood to cook.” She shrugs and checks something in the oven.
“No complaints here.” I go to the bedroom and change out of my work clothes then sit down to dinner.
“How are the interviews going?”
“Good. We’ve narrowed it down to two guys. We’re going to bring them back next week for a final interview.
“That’s good.”
“What about you? Do you have anything coming up?” I ask. She hasn’t been working that much lately and I wonder why since she loves it.
“Actually I have someone coming in tomorrow. It’s a new Sci-fi writer. His book is coming out in a few months.” I’m still not a hundred percent comfortable with her being alone with a male in the house but it’s her work so I don’t say anything as long as she is fine with it.
“Kris is going to be here with me. I’m just not…..you know after….. Anyway, Kris is going to be here.” I place my hand over hers and give her a reassuring squeeze.
“I know. It’s ok. I’m glad that she’s going to be here with you but nothing is going to happen to you Liz.”
“I know.” We eat the rest of our meal in silence then settle in in front of the TV.
“Why do we always get sucked into these reality things?” I don’t even know what this one is about but it’s yet another dating one.
“Just watch.” She hits me with a pillow then leans against my chest. I notice that she’s always doing that not that I’m complaining or anything.
“These girls are stupid. I don’t get when they act like this on national TV.”
“Oh please. Like you wouldn’t want a girl like that?”
“Nope. I wouldn’t. I have you, your all I need, all I could hope for.” She looks up at me and I lean down sealing our lips. The kiss quickly turns heated and I need to get out of these pants.
“Liz, I need you.” Before I know it she’s straddling my hips pulling at the hem of my shirt then lifting it over my head. She runs her hands down my chest and goes to work on the button of my jeans.
“Then you can have me.” She breathes heavily into my ear sucking my lobe before lifting off of me so I can take my jeans off. I free myself of the constricting material and pull her shirt over her head.
“God I love it when you don’t wear a bra.” I say before licking her nipple.
“Like I need one.” She snorts.
“These.” I say palming each of her breasts “Are perfect to me.” She slides onto me and rocks her hips back and forth.
“Let’s go to the room.” I lift her off the sofa and carry her to our bedroom.
~*~Two months later~*~
“Kris I’m freaking out here. You need to come over ASAP.”
“Ok give me a few.” I hang up and pace the living room floor. This wasn’t planned. How is Max going to take it? I thought about calling him first but I need to sort things out before I do.
“Ok I’m here. What’s going on?” I let her in the house and we sit out back.
“Well…I’m pregnant.” I say out loud for the first time since I found out.
“What? When?” She asks and I go through what the doctor told me.
“But what about all the other times?”
“I know, I talked to the doctor about that too and they are going to monitor me closely. I’ll have to go in twice a week to make sure everything is ok but so far so good.” I tried not to think about what happened with the other pregnancies but this is going to be different. I can feel it.
“I’m so happy for you!” She reaches over and hugs me. “What did Max say?” She asks.
“Don’t know yet. I haven’t told him.” I bite my lip worried about how he’ll react.
“Well get your ass up and call him.”
“I want to tell him in person. I’ll wait for him to get home.” The sun in beaming and I put my sunglasses on.
“Well I have an idea. Come on.” I don’t know what she’s up to but anything to help break the news will help.
~*~Max~*~
“I don’t give a shit about that get it done or look for somewhere else to work!” I slam the phone down and run my hands through my hair. God I hate Mondays.
“What was that all about?” I turn around and find Michael standing by the door.
“That was about some idiot recent college grad that thinks he knows what the hell he doing.”
“Go easy on him. He’s a good kid.” I roll my eyes and grab a bottle of water.
“So how was the little getaway?” He asks sitting across from me.
“Great.” A smile graces my lips as I think back to the week we spent in paradise. Liz and I barely left the hotel room and that was fine with me.
“Must be nice man.”
“You complaining?” I ask taking a sip of my water.
“No. It’s just that with the kids Maria and I can’t exactly just pick up and go.”
“That’s true but you guys are ok right?” I ask hoping that they are.
“Yeah we’re great. Don’t mind me.” I laugh. We sit and talk about what’s going on with the kids and he goes back to his office. An hour later I feel my cell phone ring and see that it’s my mother.
“Hello.” It’s still odd that she calls me every now and then.
“Max I was wondering if you and Liz are going to make it for dinner this week?”
“I’ll have to check with Liz but I’m sure we’ll make it.”
“Ok well just let me know then.” I hang up and get ready to go home thankful that the day is over for me.
~*~*Liz~*~
Kris is a freaking genius. I love that girl; she always comes up with the best ideas. We went shopping this afternoon and she helped me come up with a cute way of telling Max about the baby. I’m setting everything up in the room when I hear him come in.
“Liz?” He calls and I tell him that I’ll be out in a second.
“Hey.” I walk to the living room and wrap my arms around his neck.
“Hey yourself.” Instantly he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me flush against him.
“God I missed you.” He says trailing kisses down my neck.
“You’ve only been gone a few hours.”
“Too long to be away from you. I’m going to work from home from now on.” He lifts me into his arms and carries me to the sofa. I’m wearing a short white skirt and a pink baby T. He lifts my skirt up and runs his hands over my legs grazing over my womanhood.
“Fuck your so hot baby.” I can feel his arousal pressing into me as he lifts my shirt up and cups my breasts.
“No bra. I like.” He smiles and flicks my nipple with is tongue. I let his hands roam all over my body setting every inch of me on fire.
“Max I need you.” He lifts off me and unbuttons his shirt revealing his golden body. How I got get this lucky I’ll never know. He frees himself of this pants and boxers then settles between my legs. My skirt is lifted up revealing my white thong to him. He bends down and pulls them off with his teeth.
“God you’re gorgeous.” I feel his finger graze my lips then he dips a finger inside.
“You are so ready for me.” I nod and feel him slide inside me, then I’m home. We’ve gotten to know every inch of each other to the point where it’s like he’s reading my mind sometimes. He knows when I want it fast and hard or when I want it slow and lovingly. Today it’s fast and hard.
“Yes Max!” I moan and move my hips in sync with his. He knows how to hit my spot just right.
“Shit Liz.” Sweat forms on his brow and he bits his lip. Something I just noticed he does. It’s hot.
“Oh God Max harder….fuck me Max.” I feel him cup my breast and bite my nipple lightly. I need to be closer to him so I wrap my legs around his waist pulling him into me further. My nails graze his back not wanting to leave too deep a mark but I’m close. So fucking close.
“Fuck Liz I’m close.” He says as if reading my mind.
“Me too.” He picks up his pace and makes that sound in the back of this throat that I now know means he’s seconds away from coming. I let go and pulsate around him.
“Yessss. Shit!” I feel him release his seed inside me and latch on to his shoulder while riding my orgasm out.
“God I love you.” He rolls off me and kisses my forehead.
“I love you more.” I get up and fix my clothes.
“I need a shower.” He says and I realize that he can’t go in the room…not yet.
“Umm ours is broken. You’re going to have to use the other bathroom.” I try not to bite my lip. He’ll know I’m up to something.
“What happened?” He asks walking towards the room. Shit!
“Um I don’t know but the drain isn’t working right. I think the pipes are clogged or something. I took a shower and was shaving and I saw some hair…”
“Ugh ok ok stop!” I laugh knowing how much he hates to see hair in the bathroom.
“I’ll bring you something to wear.” He goes into the other bathroom and I laugh on my way to the closet.
~*~Later that night~*~
Liz and I had a wonderful dinner outside under the stars. She’s looking up at the sky through our telescope and I can’t help but stare at her ass while she does it.
“Max Evans are you staring at my ass?” She turns around and catches me.
“I believe I was. And it’s a mighty fine one at that.” I open up my legs and make room for her to sit between them. We sit in silence for a while just starting at the stars.
“I have something to show you.” She whispers and pulls me off the chair. We walk to the bedroom but stop just outside the door.
“Wait, you have to close your eyes and promise not to open them until I say.”
“Ok.” I agree wondering what’s behind the door. She pulls me into the room and I smell the distinctive odor of her Fig scented candles.
“Ok sit here.” She helps me sit on the edge of the bed and I hear her walking around the room. I want to peek so badly but don’t want to ruin the surprise.
“Open the box but don’t open your eyes yet.” I feel her place a small box in my hands.
“How am I going to open this with my eyes closed?”
“Just do it.” I laugh and feel something silky around the box. Slowly I pull on one end and feel it unravel.
“Ok you can open your eyes now.” She says once I have the box open. When I open my eyes I see candles all around the room.
“What’s all this?” I ask still not looking down at the box. I’m supposed to be the romantic one.
“Look at your gift.” She says softly scooting closer to me. I look down and see a pair of silver cufflinks.
“Why are these in the shape of a baby’s rattle?” As soon as the words leave my mouth I know what this means.
“Y-you’re……we’re going to…….you are…..” I can’t talk. I’m a bumbling fool.
“We’re pregnant.” She says with a huge smile.
“W-when? How?”
“I just found out today. And I think you know how.” She winks. It was bound to happen as active as our sex life is but with everything that has happened I don’t expect it to happen.
“Wow!” I look at the cufflinks and try to imagine myself as a father then my stomach tightens a little. What if she loses this one too? I don’t know how she will handle it. She seems so happy this time; it would kill me if she loses this one.
“What are you thinking?” She asks after my long silence.
“Nothing.”
“Liar. Come on tell me.” She sits next to me and I place my hands over hers.
“I don’t want to be negative but….what if….I’m sorry I know I shouldn’t be thinking like this but I just see you so excited and I can’t help it.”
“I know and you’re not being negative. It might not happen this time but I don’t know I have this feeling. I feel like this is the one, that everything is going to be ok.” I look over at her smiling face and smile back.
“I’m sorry. I’m happy, really happy.”
“Are you sure? Do you think it’s too soon? It’s too soon right? I should have waited. I’m sorry Max.”
“Hey.” I pull her to sit on my lap. “It’s not too soon. Everything will be fine. No matter what we will be ok.” I run my hand down her cheek and kiss her softly.
“I’m going to be a father.” I say prompting her to smile widely.
“Yes you are.” She says.
"Please let this one work out." I silenty pray.
