Chapter 51. Grandparents
Domestication
was never planned
A wife, a future mom
And two fratboys as husbands
- Jacqueline
Lunch was beautifully spent, the three-course meals were easily the best home-cooked meals I've had in a while. But I was back to my nervous self when it was video time and we were all headed to the family room. Their mom wouldn't let me sit between my husbands telling me that we're family now. So I sat next to Lena while Clark sits in his lazy-boy chair with a glass of ice tea by his little side table.
I didn't get a chance to look at Grady and Percy when one of them started the video, and suddenly there I was in my family home. It felt so surreal, I didn't even notice the beautiful decoration of the main hall of my great-great family chateau. I know that Grady was looking straight at me, silently watching my expression while his dad was seriously taking in the documentation video of his son getting married and his mom was trying to be inconspicuous as she wiped her tears several times already.
Watching Lena get all teary made me put my hand in hers, and softly say, "It's just the wedding... you will have the rest of our lives to witness, baby showers, birthdays, more kids, and lots of Sunday brunches and sleep-overs." I didn't know why I said that, maybe it was my maternal instinct kicking in full power with my pregnancy hormones.
But it warms my insides when she hugged me and then whispering not so subtly as if we were conspiring an evil plan to take the world, "Did you say kids? how many are we talking about here? have you set any goals?" I genuinely laughed, now I know where my husbands were getting their inquisitive urges from.
"Well, she did have a nightmare where we took all of our seven kids away from her." Grady bravely replied.
"Oh, no you wouldn't!" Lena exclaimed wrapping an arm over my shoulder protectively while Clark shook his head chuckling before he lazily took a sip of his ice tea.
"Of course, we won't, mom, your taking the focus out of context here. I was saying she had a dream of seven kids, can you focus on how you're going to keep up with all the birthdays and accommodate all of them for their grandparents' sleepovers and brunches?"
Lena's eyes shine so brightly, her smile widens almost too sweetly. She was giving all of us a show of her pearly whites but then it quickly dawned on her, and the realization made the wrinkles in her forehead more obvious.
"We need to renovate the house, and bunk beds, we need to buy bunk beds. Oh... Clark, you should start building a bigger dining table. How many boys and girls are we envisioning here?"
"Lena," I started but get cut off instantly. "Hush, none of that, you're family, call us mom and dad." She pulled me in for another hug before we set our eyes back on the flat screen to continue watching our wedding ceremony. But this time Lena looked happier when she watched as we recite our vows.
I blushed when it was Percy's part of the video. We were all dressed in black leather outfits for the collaring ceremony and I was terribly worried that their parents might not welcome the lifestyle. But I was pleasantly surprised when Lena and Clark were so engrossed with the ceremony and so did I.
It was different when I saw myself in the video, I was not expecting it to be that meaningful. I could even hear both of our voices cracking as we repeated our vows where Percy recited that he would be my Dom and care for me and I was almost teary when I said that I'd be his forever sub and let him own me and takes care of me.
My hand instinctively reached my neck the moment I saw Percy put on the thin gold collar for the first time. Lena must've seen the change in my behavior when she wrapped her arm around me and kissed my temple. "You're going to be perfect for our sons." She whispered and wiped the tear I didn't realize I shed.
"Thank you," I whispered back and continue watching the video collage of both of our ceremonies.
An hour later Grady and Percy took me to the backyard once his mom threw me out after I finished helping her with the dishes, telling me to take a walk, "Go, enjoy the fresh air. I'll have cold drinks waiting when you get back." "Wow, all this land and no one settled in your backyard yet?" I was thanking myself when I decided to wear my flats instead of wedges before we left. The cool afternoon breeze was relaxing and Lena was right, the air was fresh and the view was beautiful.
"Nope, we bought it, we didn't want our parents to have to worry about their neighbors in their old age," Grady said pompously.
"Old? they're still in their fifties, you know that people are still doing it in their fifties, right?" I know he meant in the long run, meaning decades ahead, but I just need to wipe that smug smirk from his face.
"Lalalalala... I'm not hearing this." Grady put his hand on his ears like a bratty five years old, making both Percy and I laughed so hard.
"He had several shocking encounters with our parents' sexual activities when he was growing up. They still traumatized him to this date." Percy explained and that made me keep on laughing up until I was teary and too tired to walk further. We sat under the biggest tree where Percy laid the large blanket that he brought with him earlier on the grass.
"This is nice, we should have a picnic..."
"Hmm... outdoor sex, we haven't done that lately." Grady propped his head on his hand as he lay sideways and give me lazy afternoon kisses. Percy was mimicking his posture and did exactly the same thing. We were in the middle of nowhere, in the land that they had bought, but still, anyone could walk by.
"Grady, Percy... maybe we should do backyard sex in our home?" I was enjoying their kisses so much that I was afraid to be seen. Not that I was nervous about getting caught, but if words reached Lena and Clark I'd be too embarrassed to show my face in front of them again.
"But we live in a penthouse, do you want to install grassy patches and do a jungle theme?" Percy backed away from his kiss when he asked.
"Maybe we should buy a house, penthouse lifestyle is not practical for kids. They need neighbors, playdates, dogs," Grady chirped happily with his suggestion.
"Woah... woah, okay there, party planner of seven. Let me pop this one out first then we can plan the next football team, okay?"
"The entire football team huh?" Percy's smug face made his sexy voice fades in seconds, but then he got my attention back when he slipped his hand under my dress and started rubbing my inner thigh lazily.
"I'll ask Sylvia to set us up for house hunting, three to five very different houses for style then we follow with several, once we get an idea with what we wanted."
"Hmm... I like your PA, Silvia is nice." I told Grady when they took me to their office gathering dinner last week. "But I still don't like Percy's, she's too bubbly." By bubbly I mean she's too young and beautiful and I need her gone. And as if he was reading my mind Percy explained everything.
"She had been transferred to the third floor, Princess. A couple of days after I saw your interaction with her, you'd know if you call my office. Now I have a very preppy PA, he greeted me like a damn Chihuahua in the morning. First I thought he was nervous and had too much coffee, later I found out that's just how he's wired but... the good thing is my schedule is now color coded and minutely planned. He's been keeping me on top of everything and scheduled to perfection. Hell, the guy even alphabetized my files, there was a time when I had my suspicion that he part timed as a librarian downtown."
He made me sit up, and rest my back on Grady's and all of us laughed. We talked some more before Grady looked at his watch and then decided that we should get back. "Mom would probably want us to stay for dinner, it's almost time and she's probably preparing it as we speak. Do you want to stay, baby?"
"Sure it'll be too late when we get back to the city anyway and I'll be too sleepy for dinner by then."
Percy kissed my cheek and Grady kissed my other side. My world was slowly falling into place, pieces of the puzzle were fitting into my heart and I welcomed them as the butterflies fluttered inside my heart.
