Yes, okay! It drives me crazy not helping or knowing whats going on. Just sitting hereyou might have to admit me into an insane asylum, I warned.

And when that time comes, Ill be sure to send you to the best one in the country.

I huffed in surrender, knowing Drake was just trying to make me feel better, but it wasnt. I wanted to be a part of the family, to make breakfast for my family in the mornings, and to make love to my fiance without putting our babies and myself in jeopardy.

Guess I had to get used to itfor the next four months.

4.

Drake Knowing Molly was struggling with being on bed rest, I tried to keep her involved as much as I could"dinner plans, homework with Stella and Liam, movie nights in bed. It had only been a week since she was ordered to bed rest, and she was already begging to get out.

Oh, h.e.l.l no. You are not reading that s.m.u.t. I grinned and crossed my arms as I leaned against the doorframe.

Whats wrong with Fifty Shades? she asked, lowering the book. I have to do something with all this unwanted free time, she groaned.

Because Ive heard how worked up that book gets ladies. I pushed off the doorframe and walked toward her.

And whats wrong with that? she laid the book flat on the bed, eyeing me as I inched closer to her.

Well, my love, normally nothing would be wrong with that. I crawled on the bed, crawling over her slowly. But right now, I cant give you what you need. Right now, you need to rest, and s.e.x is not something you can have.

Why? she whined, crying out. Please?

You know why. Baby, if I could, I would. Id" I bent my lips down and softly kissed her mouth. "kiss you here, and then Id kiss you here" I brought my lips to her neck, suckling and kissing her soft, sensitive skin. "and then Id kiss you down here" I lowered my body down to her bare legs and kissed right in between her thighs. I spread her thighs wider with my hands as I nuzzled my face against her. She moaned out, arching her body up to greet me.

The truth was that I wanted to make love to her so f.u.c.king badly. And if I knew I wouldnt be putting her at risk, I would every which possible way, but I wasnt about to risk the babies health over my desires. However, that didnt mean I couldnt make her feel good. I could tease and seduce her enough to get her off and relieve some of her s.e.xual tension that I knew she was holding.

You are evil, she growled, digging her nails into my hair. I continued kissing up her thighs and eventually made my way to her panty line, just barely grazing my tongue and lips over her wet spot.

Just giving you a taste, baby. I smiled as I slowly tongued her panties aside. As long as she lay completely still, I wouldnt be putting her at risk. You must stay still, I demanded in a firm tone as she began wiggling.

You got to be kidding me, she roared. She cemented her nails into the bed sheets, grasping on tight as she released from her first intense o.r.g.a.s.m. I always loved watching her unravel underneath me. It was the f.u.c.king s.e.xiest thing ever to watch"the way her eyes would roll back, the way her head would fall back against the pillows, and the way her toes would curl as she screamed through the pleasure.

I wasnt done with her yet. I pressed two fingers in lightly, not wanting to be too aggressive with her. I twisted and pressed against her until she begged and pleaded with me to stop.

I chuckled at the way she demanded me to give in, but I wouldnt. With her high blood pressure and being a high-risk pregnancy, there was no way I was going to add to the distress. But I vowed to make her feel as good as I could without giving in completely.

I devoured her with my mouth, licking and sucking her clean. She screamed my name over and over as she came down for another o.r.g.a.s.m. I wanted to give in so d.a.m.n badly and please her the way I knew I could. But for now, Id give her all my pleasure.

Drake, baby, please, she begged as I finished cleaning her up. Just once. I swear, itll be fine.

I couldnt contain the amused grin on my face as she begged for it.

Sweetheart, no, I replied sternly. Did I not satisfy you enough? Do you need more? I mused.

I need you, she said sadly.

I know. And I want to, but I cant not knowing what the doctor said.

She stuck her lower lip out in a pout, making an insanely cute sad face. Soon, baby. I promise.

Fine. I guess in the mean time, Ill just read about Fifty Shades of kinky f.u.c.kery.

I lowered my brow at her. I dont even want to know what the h.e.l.l that means.

She laughed as she lay back in bed with her book. I kissed her gently on the lips and walked out to give her some quiet time before the kids got home.

I hated leaving for work in the mornings and leaving Molly behind. I knew she was in good hands with the help of Michael, but I still felt sad that she was laying in bed miserable.

I was packed solid with meetings and paperwork all day, but I wanted to surprise Molly and give her something to smile about. I had two dozen white and red roses delivered with a little message: 24 minutes, 24 hours, 24 days, 24 months, or 24 years would never be enough time with you.

For every day I get with you, my life feels complete.

Dont ever forget that.

My life only just began the moment you were mine.

Love yours and forever more, Drake xo It wasnt much, but I wanted to give her at least one reason to smile today. I had been working so much lately on Stanleys event that I had been coming in early and staying late to get everything organized and ready.

The caterers and coordinator were all set in place. Now it was just handling all the small details. I had to move some stuff around to squeeze it in, but I was also secretly working on the engagement party I wanted to throw for Molly. I knew shed be excited to get out of the house at least, but I had to make sure I got her doctors approval before allowing her.

Baby! Molly screamed in my ear after I picked up the phone. You know how much I love you? These are breathtaking!

I smiled at the excitement in her voice. Im glad, sweetheart. I was hoping theyd make you feel better.

They do. They are simple stunning. Theyd be a little better spread out on the bed underneath us. I could hear the amus.e.m.e.nt in her tone.

Oh, is that so? I could go for a nice snuggle.

Thats not what I meant, and you know it, she fired back.

Sorry, baby. Thats all I can give you right now.

Ugh, she huffed. I know. I continued clicking away on my computer, needing to finish some last minute paperwork before I checked out for the night.

Listen, Ill be home soon, I promise. Can I bring you anything?

Hm, maybe some cheesecake?

Of course. Strawberry?

Yes, please.

Alright, leaving soon. Love you.

We hung up, and the truth was, I had a ton left to plan for the surprise engagement party, but I was dying to get home to see Molly and the kids, so I decided to leave it until tomorrow.

Hey, Michael, hows everyone doing? I asked, placing the bag of cheesecake on the kitchen counter.

Seriously? This is worse than flu-Molly, 9 months pregnant-Molly, and PMS-Molly all combined. I knew he was referring to stuck-at-home-Molly. I chuckled as I took the cheesecake out of the package and put it on a plate.

Sorry, man. Only four months left. I winked and grabbed a gla.s.s and filled it with milk.

Easier for you to say. You get to leave and go to the office everyday.

Look, I can work from home if you need me to. I can make it work if its getting too rough for you. I know Molly can be a handful, I just know I wont get much done if Im here, I replied honestly.

No, man. Its cool. Im use to crazy-Molly. I just need to keep her busy.

Good idea. But one thing"keep the s.m.u.t books out of her reach, k?

Got it. No kinky s.h.i.t.

Thanks. I patted him on the back as I walked out of the kitchen. I walked up the stairs and made it to our bedroom where Molly was sitting up against the bedframe and combing Stellas hair as she sat in between her legs.

Hey, my gorgeous girls. I walked in and kissed Stella on the cheek, and then Molly. How are you all holding up?

Mommys combing my hair for the zillionth time, Stella replied right away. I couldnt tell if she was complaining or just amused that Molly was brushing her hair.

Well, it looks beautiful. I gave a sympathetic smile.

We just ate dinner. Sorry, the kids were hungry, and they didnt want to wait, Molly informed.

No problem. I brought dessert. I held up the plate and handed it to Molly. Theres more in the kitchen if you and Liam want a piece. I told Stella, hoping shed jump at the opportunity.

Yay! Ill tell Liam right away!

With Liams schedule, she didnt get to see him very often unless he was home for the weekend. I felt awful having to work late, so I told Molly Id be back up in a few.

I entered the kitchen and watched as Stella and Liam devoured their cheesecakes. It was the funniest and sweetest thing ever. They were shoving spoonfuls into their mouths while laughing and talking.

Slow down kids. Youll get a stomachache.

Were racing! Stella announced in between bites.

Well, youll be racing to the bathroom when you need to throw all that up. I crossed my arms as I leaned against the counter.

Doesnt matter, Liam chimed in. The first plate empty is the champ!

You two seriously crack me up. I couldnt stay mad at them for long. They were just the funniest kids.

I win! Liam yelled out, spiking his spoon into the air in victory.

No! Not fair. Daddy Drake interrupted me, Stella complained, quickly shoving the rest in her mouth.

I leaned into Liams ear and whispered, You should always let the girl win. I winked and nodded toward Stella.

He smiled back at me and gave a happy shrug.

Alright, you win, Stella.

Before she could thank him, he grabbed another piece and quickly smashed it into her face.

Oh my G.o.d! I yelled out, shocked. Half expecting Stella to get mad, I braced myself for the war that was about to develop.

Youre so dead! she screamed out, laughing. She grabbed another piece and threw it at Liam, getting him right in the face.

I was so shocked that I didnt know what to do. They just continued laughing and throwing cheesecake at each other.

Okay, okay. Stop! I laughed, separating the two. Im probably supposed to yell at you guys or something, but its just too d.a.m.n funny. I laughed again. I snuck a piece off the tray and quickly smashed them in their faces, surprising them both.

Hey! Stella screamed out, giggling.

Get her! Liam yelled out, throwing the leftovers that had fallen on the floor at her. The kids and I got in a full out food fight. I hadnt laughed this hard in weeks, but seeing their bright smiling faces, I just couldnt resist allowing them to go at it. It was innocent fun, and I figured, hey, they only get to be kids once, so why not?

Oh. My. G.o.d. I heard both Michael and Molly say in unison.

I quickly brushed a hand over my face, getting most of the cheesecake off. They started it, was all I managed to say through the chuckles.

Liam did it! Stella ratted him out, pointing at him.

Liam brought both hands up in surrender. Dont look at me. Im innocent.

I laughed and took both their hands. Alright, you two. Time to wash up.

I kissed Molly on the cheek as we walked pa.s.sed her and Michael.

I am so not cleaning that up. I heard Michael say as we walked to the bathroom. I chuckled, knowing how much Michael hates cleaning.

The following morning at the office, I worked fast and quickly to get everything done that still needed to be planned for both Stanleys event and the engagement party.

I planned the engagement party to be in three weeks. I knew with the holidays that people were going to be busy, but if I didnt do it then, we wouldnt be able to until after she had the babies.

Yes. Three weeks.
