Chapter 45

Mort was sitting at his desk typing slowly, a look of concentration plastered on his face. His concentration was ruined when he heard soft giggles coming from the bedroom. He looked at the bedroom and chuckled when he head Julie whispering. He returned to his typing and a few minutes later the door to Alex’s bedroom was closed. Julie walked over to his chair and wrapped her arms around his neck. Mort leaned slightly backwards and smirked as he typed the last word. Julia turned her head and pecked his hair before she moved it out of her way to reach his neck.

“How’s the writing going?” she asked against his skin.

“Just finished chapter ten.” He muttered breathlessly as he felt her lips upon his skin.

“You want something to eat?” she asked as she stroked his cheek.

“Yeah…You.” He mumbled as he turned his chair so he was facing her. Julia laughed and he smirked as he pulled her on his lap. Her arms snaked around his neck and she pushed his hair away from his face. His fingers caressed her back and then slid up her shoulder towards her neck and cheek. She leaned into his touch and closed her eyes.

“Is he asleep?” Mort whispered and she nodded.

“Yes…quite the eater too.” She said with a chuckle and he grinned.

His hand gripped the back of her neck and he pulled her closer to his face. Julia shivered as she felt the warmth of his breath on her lips and a small sigh escaped her mouth. He smirked and closed the gap between them with a forceful kiss. Julia returned it and pressed closer to him, her legs pressing against his thighs as the kiss deepened. His hands fisted themselves on her shirt and he slowly pulled it up so he could slide his hands under it. His warm fingers touched the skin of her lower back and she gasped into the kiss.

“It’s been too long…” he mumbled and she nodded before she kissed his lips once more. His hand trailed up her back and then back down again before it firmly grasped her waist. His mouth left hers and settled on her neck. Julia’s head fell onto his shoulder and her arms tightened their hold on him. His mouth opened slightly and sucked softly on her neck as his hips jerked upwards towards her. A gasp left her mouth and he repeated the action with more force. A smirk stretched onto his face when he heard her gasp loudly and he moved back to kiss her lips again. Her hands slid into his hair and he moaned as he pressed against her again. Suddenly the bedroom seemed too far for him and his hands flew to his zipper but she caught them in her own.

“Nope…I’m not doing it in a chair…especially not in a moving chair.” She said as the chair moved precariously to the left side. Mort chuckled and he stood up causing her to yelp. He secured her legs around his waist and he started walking towards their bedroom, his arms supporting her back. He kicked the door open and he roughly pressed her against the wall.

“Satisfied?” he muttered as he thrust his hips against her again. She nodded and kissed his lips again as his hands tugged at his own shirt. He threw it on the floor and his hands rolled her shirt up her body until he removed it. His mouth latched onto the skin of her collarbone and a soft moan escaped her. His hand trailed down her breast to her stomach before it slid under her skirt. Her breath caught in her chest as she was heaved higher against the wall and she gripped his shoulders for support. His mouth crashed against hers again while his hand fumbled with his pants. Moments later he was moving inside her slowly, his hands gripping her thighs tightly. His head fell against her shoulder, his mouth opening in bliss as they moved together.

Julia’s hands moved to his back and he groaned before he moved them away from the wall. Julia’s back pressed against the mattress as he pushed her onto the bed and resumed his thrusts more vigorously. One of his hands left her thigh and got tangled in her hair, his breathing harsh into her ear as he panted above her. She tightened her legs around his waist and it was enough to make him release a guttural moan. His mouth closed over hers again and his hips gained speed and force until her back arched. It took him a few more moments before he slumped against her, breathing hard and uneven.

“Julie…” he whispered before he gently kissed her lips and snuggled in her embrace. She kissed the top of his head and stroked his back until he was sound asleep in her arms.

Mort was brought out of his peaceful dream when someone poked his cheek with a small finger. He groaned and his nose twitched but the tiny poking finger returned once again. His eyes slowly opened and he saw the smiling face of his son giggling down at him, his finger poking his cheek.

“Hey, bug.” He muttered groggily as he turned to his side and looked at Alex.

“How did you manage to get up here?” he asked as he reached with his hands and pulled him into his embrace. He sat up and kissed Alex’s head gently while the baby poked his chest and stomach, making weird but cute voices as he did so. Mort frowned and looked down at him before he laughed.

“Good morning to you too.” He said as he brought the baby up to his chest and kissed his cheek.

“Mort! You’ll be late for the hospital!” Julia called from downstairs and his eyes widened.

“Shit!” he cursed loudly.

“Language!” Julia called and he looked apologetically at his son.

“Sorry, bug.” He said before he placed him on the bed and started dressing. In two minutes he was walking down the stairs with Alex.

“Got to go, got to go.” He said quickly as he handed Julia the baby and grabbed his keys from the coffee table.

Julia blinked as she watched him pulling on his jacket.

“Slow down. You’ll make it.” She called but he only nodded before he flew out of the house to go get Nicollet.

He arrived at the hospital an hour later and he was patiently waiting at the entrance for her to arrive. Fifteen minutes passed and the dark haired girl finally appeared holding a bag. Mort smiled and waved at her before he headed towards her. Nicollet smiled and hugged him when she was close enough.

“Hey, Nicky…” he said softly as he tightened his arms around her thin frame.

“Hello, Mort.” She whispered as he kissed her hair and moved back. He took the bag from her and took her hand.

“Ready to go?” he asked and she nodded slowly before she gave him a small smile. He smirked and pulled her towards his car. They got in and he started the engine.

“Seatbelt.” He ordered and she chuckled.

“I’m not a five year old.” She said and he looked at her sideways.

“Could have fooled me.” He muttered playfully and she looked at him funnily. He laughed and patted her hand before he drove away from the hospital.

“You know, you have to pay me back because I sat and fixed a whole room for you. I even painted it.” He said after a while.

“You what?” she asked puzzled.

“I prepared a room for you…What did you think? That I’d place you on the floor?” he asked with raised eyebrows.

“Well I …” she trailed off and he chuckled.

“You’re one weird lady, sweets.” He muttered and she chuckled.

“I know.” She said with a smile. Mort grinned and looked at the road again.

“Who’s Alex?” she asked eagerly and he looked at her.

“Cute like me!” he exclaimed and she grimaced.

“Ew, the poor thing.” She muttered and he pouted.

“You don’t think I’m cute?” he asked pathetically.

“I don’t know.’ She said with a shrug, trying to hide her smile.

“I’ll tell Alex to pee on you.” He muttered with a huff and she laughed before she leaned over to place a kiss on his cheek.

“That’s better.” He said with a nod before she burst into laughing.

They arrived at the house and Mort opened the door.

“Come in, sweets.” He said and she stepped inside. Mort closed the door and ran a hand through his hair.

“Julie!” he called and Julia poked her head inside from the kitchen.

“You’re here! Just a sec.” she called and a few moments later she was walking towards Nicollet with Alex in her arms.

“You hold him.” She told Mort before she hugged the young girl. Mort blinked down at his son who only giggled up at him.

“I am so glad you’re here. Are you okay?” Julia asked and Nicollet nodded.

“Yes…Thank you for letting me stay here.”

“Nonsense. Come on, I’ll show you your room. Oh, Mort! He needs feeding and changing. Can you manage?” she called and he smiled awkwardly.

“Sure…” he said before he smelled his son with a grimace.

“Oh, Alex…” he mumbled before he walked towards the bathroom.

Nicollet was sitting in her room, looking outside the window when a knock came on the door.

“Come in.” she called and Mort peered inside.

“Hey…um, Julie is out with Alex and I am in need of some company and cuddles. Are you available?” he asked with hope. Nicollet chuckled and nodded. He smiled and walked into her room before he plopped down on the bed. He patted the space next to him and she lied down too. They stared at the ceiling until Mort spoke.

“You like it here?” he asked and she nodded.

“Thank you.”

“Oh, Jesus, don’t say that again.” He muttered as he pulled her for a hug.

“Thank you.” She repeated just to annoy him and he groaned.

“Meanie.” He mumbled and she giggled.

“So where’s Julia?”

“Had to go for some shopping.” He mumbled as he buried his face in her plump pillow.

“This is so soft…” he murmured and she rolled her eyes.

“You came here to sleep?” she asked and he rolled over so he rested his head on her shoulder.

“Nope…” he muttered sleepily as he made him self comfortable around her.

“If you were slightly older you could be my father you know.” She whispered and his eyes flew open.

“Nicky…you know I love you. Besides, I am too cute to be your father, sweets.” He said with a grin and she slapped his hand.

“Ah, ah! Not hitting.” He said as his hand tickled her side. She laughed and looked up at the ceiling again. When she looked down again he was fast asleep.

Julia placed Alex in the backseat and secured him there before Nicollet got inside the car. Julia got in next to Mort and he looked at the back.

“Ready?” he asked and Nicollet nodded before she sat close to Alex who was playing with his hands.

“We have to go to the shops too after we see the house. Alex needs new clothes.” Julia said as Mort started the car.

“Sure, honey. I am sure you’ll love the house, Nicky.” He said as he looked at Nicollet.

“Yeah? We’ll see.” She said with a shrug.

“You know, you’re a difficult one to please.” He said with a smirk and Julia chuckled when Nicollet huffed and pouted.

“Hush you two.” Julia scolded and Mort grinned as he focused on the road.

Julia turned around and started whispering to Nicollet while Mort shook his head amused.

Life was indeed getting better. There is nothing you want to overcome and you can’t.

The End.
