Divorced, But Not Broken -
Divorced, but Not broken Chapter 168
There were lights everywhere. The table set and a big sheet were tied between the two threes that weren't blown down from the storm last year. I slightly shudder, holding my hands, feeling the movement from my babies. Buck was standing further away, looping I mean it. He was the one thing in my world that didn't move when everything else was rocking, and I needed that more than ever.
cable around his hand and elbow making me stare at him. He was so handsome and handy.
Buck's eyes met mine like he could feel me staring at him, giving me a big grin that I knew was from me gawking at him, but how couldn't I? He was the best thing to ever happen to a girl like me.
"It's coming together real nice...." Buck chuckled hearing that, knowing he had spent all day on this all morning. Sarah was around here, setting tables and ensuring the napkins were enough. I didn't care. Everything was already perfect, having Buck and Kira running around or bossing someone, feeling the heavy weight of my babies that were going to be born in about three months, or it was going to be before that. I already had a c-section scheduled.
Nothing was left to chance, not when Buck was around, and I loved that part too about him, that he had done this before. Not once or twice, but three times seeing the result of that moping around since Sophia was still angry at me for blowing her plan. Well, at least she wasn't mad at Kira, that was sitting in her lap, pointing to her phone like the princess she was.
"Yeah, good thing we had helped. I can't climb like I used to...." I snorted at that, wrapping my arms around his neck when he came closer, dropping the cables on the box beside me, smirking at my own one. He was still young, agile as hell, better than I, and older than me.
"I should have brought out my phone when you were cursing in that tree. I don't think I've seen Sophia laugh that much since she couldn't sleep over...." Buck made a snort like that was the least of his worries. It was when we were swaying the slightest, like a slow dance with my huge belly, that was the talk of the town for the first weeks, but I didn't care, and neither did Buck, and that was all that mattered to me.
"She will get over it.... I don't care what it takes anymore. I want to keep my kids safe, all of them. No matter what, if they are still in the making or finally using that driver's license I paid for." I made another snort at that. Yeah, she sure was driving these days, and we didn't know where. I don't know what happened with Sophia. Still, she wasn't that sweet anymore, always sneaking out and giving Sarah and Buck a headache that I was so happy Kira wasn't old enough for yet.
"You are the best daddy Buck...." My eyes sparked when he grinned and kissed me, not caring if everyone saw it, making me swoon when the sound of barfing noises from Sophia and Kira was doing it too, Buck looked up, giving both a scolding look, when I was trying to catch my head feeling the slightest dizzy from Bucks amazing kisses.
"Stop that right now. I can kiss my wife anytime I want...." Buck was pulling me closer when both girls were still looking like they weren't happy, Sophia because she was still pissed and Kira because she was jealous. How unusual.
"You okay, baby? Do you need to sit down, Sophia, and fetch some water? Now!" Buck shifted his worried grey eyes to my smiling face making me sit down on the chair beside me. He was so concerned for me. Still, I felt better, just dizzy, when Sophia made a scoff. Still, she did go after the water with Kira tagging along, like bringing water to me was a fun adventure.
"Buck, stop. I'm fine...." He stood up when Sophia gave me the water, not saying a word, looking down at her phone, and leaving. She looked different too, not so damn innocent anymore, lost the big dresses, and now to Buck's heartache, she wore outfits he disapproved of. Still, in the end, He couldn't be around her all hours of the day. He fought with Sarah over it until he finally caved and let Sophia wear what she wanted, under specific rules.
I was holding the water in my hands, taking small sips feeling the babies staring to move around like they always did when I drank something cold, doing a small face when Buck looked even more worried like he wasn't used to this by now, that big softie. "Relax, daddy, it's just the boys moving around, don't worry so much, Buck, I'm fine, and the doctor said that too, you know that...." I made a chuckle, drinking some more, doing another face when the next kick came, making me hold the spot where that brat had kicked me. I swear that I was never going to sleep again.
"Yeah... yeah, I know baby, don't blame me for being worried... it's just... well shit, we been through some things, and I don't want anything to hurt you, even if I did this...." He was rubbing my belly, grinning proudly. Oh, he was so fucking proud when I made a smirk seeing his handsome face. Yeah, he did, and he wasn't sorry, not one second.
"I know.... Buck, I'm fine, and the babies are fine. Just making sure I haven't forgotten that I will not sleep for the next year when they are born...." Buck chuckled hearing that because he knew I was right; the first year with Kira.... Oh, shit, she almost broke me. That was one of the worst parts about being alone with her that I had to deal with that shit on my own because my useless boyfriend was at home with his dotting wife.
"Yeah.... Good thing I'm up anyway, seriously baby, I wasn't kidding when I said you were a heavy sleeper, at least now being pregnant...." I made a swat at his arm when he just pulled me closer and kissed me, smirking that bastard. How the hell did I get so lucky to have him?
"Daddy!" I was about to get up when Kira came running like she had had enough of being outside our small circle. Leaning back, seeing Buck hoist her up, there was no doubt in my mind that Buck was Kira's dad, no matter who made her.
"Higher, daddy, higher!" Kira was shrieking from joy when I just watched them together. Nothing made me happier than seeing the joy in Kira's eyes. She absolutely worshipped Buck,
My eyes switched to the big man that was coming over, the one that was Buck copied on the outside at least, and he was smiling. Shit, was he happy? This party was a celebration for Buck and me and the new boys that their oldest brother hadn't been that happy over until now.
"Mitch!" Buck was putting down Kira and ran over to Mitchell, which lifted her up, making her laugh again in her dress and brown hair flying all over her head, making the blue-green eyes glitter with excitement over finally having someone more to boss over when Sophia wasn't that funny anymore.
"Hey, dad..." Mitch was smirking, still holding Kira, and when I made a huff, still sitting down, holding my hands over my belly where the twins were still kicking me the slightest. Well, he sure was in a good mood, wasn't he? Why?
My eyes narrowed the slightest. I didn't know why but I didn't trust the happy mitch. He was only delighted when something went his way; otherwise, he was broody and moody. I didn't know where he got that since Sarah was constantly chirping and Buck was a smooth talker and charming as hell, but not their son. Nope.
Buck and Mitch were hugging it out, doing hard slaps that would have made me smile but not now. I hadn't forgotten that Mitch was in love with Jonah, and I hadn't heard from him since Kira was taking and James was... well f**k, since we killed and buried him. That one still hurts even if it was getting better, Buck making me talk to some woman who was helping me understand what was happening in my head.
"I thought you said you would make it, that you had plans for the break?" Buck was still slapping his back before letting go making me finally smile. He really loved his kids, all of them, and man, I would have given anything for that to have my dad look at me and give me support, but he never did, that coward.
"Yeah, I was but the girl I was going along for backed out, so...." I couldn't help a snort, seeing Buck chuckle as he got it that Mitch just had gone on a trip to fuck some girl. That was f*****g hilarious when he didn't even swing that way, and he needed to find the courage and see that Buck wasn't going to hate him for it. There was no way in my head that Buck would ever do that. Ever.
"Got it..." Buck was still smirking when Mitch's eyes met mine, and I was smirking too. Still, for a different reason than his dad was, making him pissed, losing that smile on his handsome face. Oh, he was just like Buck, too bad he hadn't the same personality. "Hey, Mitch...." I was getting up when Buck helped me. Mitchell just stared at me, at my belly, and couldn't help hiding the frown that Buck didn't see when he was turned around. Well, at least he was honest that he didn't like me, didn't like me having more kids, and was scared that they were Jonah's, the same as me.
"Yeah, hi Andrea.... How are you feeling?" Mitch cleared his throat when Buck looked at him again, grinning like a fool when Mitch made a fake smile. Look at him trying so hard to be nice to me when he couldn't stand me. I didn't hate him for it. Like everyone else who got steamrolled by that guy, he was just lost in Jonah's web.
"Oh, I'm fine, the babies are kicking me, but otherwise, I'm peachy." My tone was a little snappy, and I knew Buck could hear it too, but I didn't care, he knew me, and Mitchell wasn't the best of friends and never would be.
Mitch pressed his lips together when I said that, making me frown. I really didn't get him. He loved spending time with Kira these days, playing with her when he had the chance. Still, as soon as someone brought up the twins, he got stiff. He didn't want to hear it like it was something he would rather forget. It made me angry and broke my heart simultaneously. I honestly didn't know if Buck or Jonah was the father, but it didn't matter. Buck was still going to be their daddy, and Mitch knew that, so why was he acting like he was sick suddenly from seeing me pregnant?
"That's great... hey dad, did Jared get here before me?" I made a hurt sigh when Mitch focused on Buck again, that was looking at Kira, yelling at her to stop trying to climb the same tree he had been cursing in, missing me and Mitch's weird exchange looking back, making me sit down again when Buck was pointing over the male version of his ex-wife that was chatting up some girls.
"He will get over it too, Andy, please just ... it is not that easy for him either...." I felt Buck's arm around my shoulders, making me lean my head against his hard body. Shit, I wished it would, because it would suck if we were never able to get along, and the twins were going to suffer for it too...
"I don't know Buck; he doesn't like me, and there is nothing I can do about that...." My voice was fading out, and I hated that I sounded hurt. I didn't want to be that, hurt that my husband's son didn't like me, fucking abandonment issues... Buck was pulling me up like he could sense I was sad and made an encouraging smile when I was burrowing my head into his chest, taking a deep breath. F**k, I loved him so much. Buck was my world, and I wasn't afraid to admit I would fall without him.
"He doesn't like change and... well, this is a huge one, Andy, us getting twins and boys at that too...." Buck sighed, staring at Mitch's back when he was talking with Jared. They were laughing, and he was totally relaxed, like he was a completely different person when I wasn't around.
I didn't answer anything, just took Bucks's hand in mine, snaking my fingers into his and leaning my head heavier on his muscular chest, feeling his other hand on my back, taking some pressure from the weight of my front to my smile. Buck really was the f*****g best.
"Yeah, I know, baby, I know...." I made a trying smile, looking back up from his chest. We had made it through worse shit than Mitch not liking me, and maybe Buck was right. He was going to want the twins when they were born... my eyes were fluttering, feeling Buck's warm hands on my back, giving me that big grin that he only he could do when they were coming down towards my a*s, making me smirk, seeing his eyebrows go up before kissing my neck making me giggle, Buck really wasn't afraid to show anyone what he was doing with me.
"Buck.... stop that..." I was still giggling when my eyes closed, and my heart went faster against his chest. Shit, he was making me hot, and people were coming over soon. Scratch that. The whole town was coming just like they always seemed to do when Buck was inviting people over.
"I can't...I can't stop Andy...I never want to stop kissing you..." Buck was coming up for air from my neck when I was smirking and caught Sarah rolling her eyes before she looked over the garden again, she wanted everything to be perfect, but when I looked into Buck's eyes, I knew that it already was.
"I love you, Bucky...." I didn't care if the whole world was against me; as long as I had Buck, nothing could break me.
"Yeah, I love you too, baby... now let's get the rest of the shit done. I don't want to listen to Sarah complianing to me the rest of the night that I didn't put up the light correctly...." Buck made a smirk that I snorted at, me neither... she was a control freak, to be honest, and I wasn't, but that was okay. We were good, as long as she did try to take Buck away from me. I didn't mind sharing half my life with pretty miss perfect.
"You are the best, Buck..." I was laughing when he made a grin and kissed my hand before walking me back into the house, and I couldn't have been happier.
