Keeping the Attraction

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

"sleep" he groaned with a yaw."it's too early and you asked me to stay."

I finished rinsing my mouth as he kissed my cheek and spoke "I love you too, and I thought since you had an early meeting that you wouldn't want him around."

[melbender]

"Me too," I looked at him, lowering my voice "no one else is out here though.. maybe I'm seeing things." I didn't want to think about people walking around while wwe were all asleep

[Demona]

"Do you want us to mive our camp to another spot? Farther from here?"

[melbender]

"No I don't. If we hear something tonight then we'll leave in the morning, you don't think Tommy drank a beer do you? He's 16, maybe he wanted to try one." I reached for his hand placing it against my stomach as the baby kicked

[Demona]

I smiled at the kick but looked at tommy reading a book and shrugged "he seemed scared, i don't think it was him"

[melbender]

"You decide then, maybe we should leave? But don't alarm the boys, just say we're spending nights in a few different places." I stood up and went down to check oliver who was fast asleep still.

[Demona]

I nodded and looked outside, seeing it wasn't raining yet i took my coat and went to make a perimeter sweep just in case.

[melbender]

"Hey Dad!" Finn called out following after. "Can we go fishing with your after?"

[Demona]

"Yes when i get back. Stay with your mom will you?"

[melbender]

He rolled his eyes going back to the camper. "Can we go now? There's nothing to do here."

"We could play a board game?" Ally suggested, but she was bored of the boys complaining and worried someone was around. "If we left, then you wouldn't be allowed anywhere on your own, it's still family time."

[Demona]

I came back 10 minutes later and went to sit next to Ally "i found a backpack, it had binoculars, first aid kits and flashlights as well as batteries, for a camera i think, i'' not sure." I sighed "i think we should move to another location. Something is not right"

[melbender]

"The kids hate it. Why don't we just go to the island?" I suggested nodding towards the boys who were all sulking by the window. "I don't like that someone is watching us."

[Demona]

I looked at them and back at her "yes i prefer we leave but i thought we'd stay because you were eager to come here." I sighed "let's have breakfast and then we'"" hit the road"

[melbender]

"It's fine, lets just pack up and get breakfast somewhere." I managed a smile as the boys heard us and seemed more excited. "Finally!" Andy and Finn said together. I wouldn't tell them how much that hurt me. "Help your father take the tents down, I'm going to have a shower before we go." I said making my way to the small bathroom

[Demona]

The boys and i packed up everything and we went to the car. They got some bread and toast and jam and other stuff "don't make a mess". I waited untill Ally was done to start driving "they couldn't wait they are very hungry"

[melbender]

"I'm not surprised, they're built like their father." I laughed sighing with disappointment. "Is someone following us Steven? Should I be worried?"

[Demona]

"I didn't find anyone or any trace of other camps. I just found the backpack and it wasn't far from our camping spot, there was also food cans left behind. They either forgot the bag or left in a hurry i'' not sure but i have to be honest, it worries me a bit"

[melbender]

Groaning as I banged my forehead against his chest. "Fine. You choose where we go. I'll never bring up vamping again unless it's in our yard." I chuckled.

[Demona]

I laughed "don'5 over react, and we'll come back after you deliver i promise. And i still want you to deliver on the Island, so neena and Camilla can help you"

[melbender]

"Well what about you? I would rather be home, with my husband helping me." I didn't want to go away and have this baby, I wanted to be home with my family and children.

[Demona]

I smiled "if i can't leave and be with you there than we'll all stay here. How about that?"

[melbender]

"What do you mean cant leave? You're the boss Steven, book in six weeks holidays and you'll be taking them once our daughter is born." I insisted. "I have to have another ceserean, I won't be doing much afterwards for a while."

[Demona]

I didn't say anything just kept on driving. She's right i'' the boss but i still have to be there.

When we got home i called Noah to make sure he's doing ok, and he spoke with Ally too "he seemed more relaxed today right?".


Serena called her Dad to tell her the news "hey daddy! How are you?"

[melbender]

"I'd really like to go and see him." I agreed with a nod. "He seems happier than last time we spoke." She rubbed her belly as a kick hit her.

"Hi princess." Jason smiled tiredly. "How are you? Coming home yet? Have you heard from your brother?"

[Demona]

"They'll allow us to cisit starting tomorrow" i informed her as i lay next to her on the couch. "The kids went to their rooms they really missed the house"

"He called me last night, they are happy" she smiled "no i'm not coming home, daddy i'' modeling clothes that Emily design! It's amazing i love it." They spoke for a while and than she dared ask "how is Noah?"

[melbender]

"Me too. I missed our bed and bath." I rolled over my head against his cheek. "Did you see Lily's photos? Mason sent a couple today, she's very thin" she showed him the phone and swiped through photos of her paddle boarding.

He was silent a moment unsure whether to tell her. "He's still in rehab. I'm glad you're having a good time sweetheart. Call your brother, he won't answer my calls."
