Emily

I woke up to the smell of something sweet. "Mom, are you cooking?" Arthur asked yawning. "I just woke up, Art. I think Chris is making breakfast." I replied grinning. "Gosh, mom why do you act like a love stricken teenager around him?" He asked as the twins shivered. I covered them with a blanket draped over me. "Because I love him, Art. You know that." I replied as he smirking. I raised a brow as I turned to the hallway to find a Chris smirking. "Oh no." I stated shaking my head. "I love you too." Chris said hugging me towards him. "Damn, I should've made your penalty for the whole year." Arthur stated sighing. "Mmmm! Pancakes!" Naomi exclaimed waking up her twin. "Come on, breakfast is ready for you." He said pulling us towards the dining area. "Oh my goodness it smells heavenly!" I exclaimed as Arthur followed.

"If you don't mind, I'm gonna eat ahead." He stated sitting right in front of the pancakes and bacon. Chris and I shared a look as we moved the pancakes and bacon by rotating the center piece. "Hey! That's not fair!" He exclaimed frowning. "It is. We aren't even complete yet." I replied just in time for the twins to come running beside each other. "I'm hungry." Kieren stated as Chris and I carried our twins to their chair. "Now can we eat?" Arthur asked with his mouth watering. "I'm gonna tease him about it soon." I whispered as Chris laughed and we took our seats. "What's so funny?" Arthur asked frowning and wiped a drool.

"Nothing, nothing. Arthur say grace since you're so eager to dig in." Chris said smiling. Arthur rolled his eyes and closed them as he prayed. "Heavenly Father, thank you so much for the food, please bless dad who cooked it an may it nourish our bodies. Please bless our activities for today, hopefully it will be successful. In Jesus name, Amen! Yay! Food!" Arthur exclaimed as we all got food. "Emily, I know it's both been a long time for us since we went on a date. I want to bring you to 26 dates for the twenty six years I wasn't in your life. Will you go on a date with me?" Chris asked making mw blush. The kids watched eagerly. "Yes!" I exclaimed as he kissed my cheek and hug me. "There's someone outside." He whispered as I saw a dark figure lingering outside our backyard just staring at us. "Oh my goodness... Chris, I swear, I'm getting scared." I whispered hugging him tighter. "Stay the hell away from this family, whoever you are!" Arthur yelled as the person ducked under the bushes and was gone.

"Arthur!" I scolded pulling me close to me. I swear, the boy grows an inch everyday. "Someone had to tell him off and you both certainly weren't." He replied patting my back. I pinched his cheek. "Arthur, we can handle ourselves, you three can't yet. I'm going to let you stay with... Jared and Jensen?" I asked as the three shook their heads. "Why not?" I asked raising a brow. "They're cool and all, but we get teased a lot." Kieren replied grinning. I chuckled as we all sat in a circle in the living room. "What about... Grant and Amell?" I asked as she shook their heads more. I raised a brow crossing my arms. "Mom, they give special treatment to Naomi and Moose. I mean have you seen the treatment they give us? It's crap." Arthur replied crossing his arms as well. "Fine, Sebby and Alana." I replied smirking. "Nooooo! Goodness, no! Mom, they may be less worst then you guys in the love department, but they're still too lovey dovey with each other." Naomi replied sighing.

"I think they purposefully want James and Michael to take them in." Chris whispered smiling. I sighed kissing his cheek. I guess I have no choice. "James and Michael?" I asked as they cheered. "Definitely!" They all yelled in unison. We laughed as they did their little happy dance. "I'll ask first." I stated as Cheis handed me my phone and I called James.

"James McAvoy's phone. Sorry, he can't come to the phone right now. Who is this?" Michael asked as I heard a stifled moan. Oh my goodness! "Michael!?" I asked as Chris held back a laugh. "Oh bloody hell. Emsy, what is it?" He asked we heard a loud moan of release. The kids were too busy planning to even notice. "Can I ask you and James to do babysitting duty? I swear you can do anything to me on set of Future Past." I replied hopeful. "Anything." I replied gulping. "Sure, bring them over at around 10:00 just let us get finished." Michael replied a little too happily. "Thank you!" I exclaimed as Chris wrapped an arm around my waist. "See ya later." I stated sighing. "See ya." He stated as I ended the call. "Go pack." I ordered as they stood up and ran towards their room.

MESSAGE WHISTLE

I frowned opening the message.

Thanks for embarrassing me in front of my boyfriend's parents and make them turn on me. It's my turn. Pictures say a thousand words, for this case, a million.

Bye-bye Bitch.

I had wide eyes. Chris took my phone and frowned at it. My phone started to ring. We frowned. Chris answered it and put it on louder speaker. "Emily, what the hell is on the internet about you two!?" Sebastian asked furious.

"I'll get it!" Arthur hollered as Sebastian continued to talk. "What is on the internet about us?" Chris asked frowning. "Best if I show you. Oh, hi Arthur." Sebastian said ending the call. Chris brought me into a big hug. Sebastian came frowning at us. "What?" I asked nervously. "This is what. Did you really just post this!?" He asked handing us the phone. I gasped as Chris hugged me tighter. It was a picture of us kissing just a few minutes before. "I... Sebastian, this was taken just a few minutes before you came." I stated glaring at the bushes. "That slut of yours was watching us." I stated as Chris didn't allow me to move.

"Why are you glaring at the bushes?" Sebastian asked confused. I narrowed my eyes to see a small glint of light in the bushes. I smirked as I turned and wrapped my arms around Chris' neck. "I'm going to go for a swim, join me?" I asked as Sebastian watched amused. Pretend to leave, but go check the backyard door. I mouthed as Sebastian sighed. "I'll be leaving you both to it then." Sebastian said leaving. I started to strip. "Are you serious?" Chris asked following me. "Well, the kids are still packing and you promised me a date." I replied jumping in the pool. Chris laughed following as well. "What's your real plan?" Chris asked cornering me under water. I smiled kissing him. He smiled as well and we pulled away.

"Look up." I whispered as we saw Sebastian glaring down. "The guy taking our pictures is right there. I'll go out first." I whispered rising from the water and climb the ladder. "Where are you going?" Chris asked as I positioned myself in front of the bush. "Just checking if someone is watching us." I replied as we heard rustling. "Gotcha." Sebastian said holding the guys feet. "Emily, now!" Sebastian exclaimed as I reached under the bushes and grabbed the collar of whoever was watching us. He gasped as I pulled him up. I glared at him as he gulped. "Look what you made me do. Now I have to fix it again." I stated pulling him towards the water. "Wait! No, please! I was paid to do it!" The man begged. "By who?" Chris asked beside me.

"Your girlfriend here. She wanted to make you have a scandal." He replied smirking at me. I frowned letting go of his collar and pushed him in the water, but I grabbed his tie before he fell. "The truth." We ordered in unison. "Your brother. He never trusted him. He never wa-"I cut him off by getting his camera off him and I let his tie go. "Now to check the photos." Sebastian stated as we turned it on. "Bloody hell!" Sebastian yelled as I shivered in disgust. "Not so fast wise guy." We heard Jared say. I frowned and looked up to see him, Jensen, Misha, Michael, James, Alana, Grant, and Amell. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked as Sebastian turned the the camera off.

"We saw the photo and we were worried. What is this piece of shit doing here?" Jensen asked glaring at him. "You know him?" I asked as Chris held my hand. "He's... How do we say this lightly." Jensen stated rubbing his face. "You can't say it lightly, Jensen. His name is Ash. He is a stalker hired by who ever wants someone destroyed and it so happens that he's your number one stalker." Jared replied taking the guy by the collar. "Who hired you?" He asked walking towards the pool. Chris chuckled as we watched the guy squirm. "I won't ask again." Jared threatened. "Okay, okay! Geez, you guys are like one big family and threatening people are you jobs. Minka was her name. She obviously wanted Chris and beautiful Emily over there to break up and of course I agreed. The thi-" Jared dropped him in the water. I giggled as he smiled at me. We all walked towards the living room as we dried ourselves and wore our clothes.

"So, what the hell happened?" Jensen asked as we all sat down. "She told Minka off." Chris replied grinning at me. I smiled kissing his cheek. "But hiring that guy is really low." Jared commented as we all sighed. "They need protection." Sebastian stated as I saw Ash starting to get out of the pool. I frowned and quickly ran towards. "Can't resist my charm?" He asked smirking. I took him by the collar and neared his face. "No, I can't. I can't resist the urge to break every bone in your body and dump you in the Pacific Ocean." I replied as he gulped. "Mom is so cool." Arthur commented as he helped me get Ash out of the pool. "Dude's went. He shouldn't be brought inside." Kieren stated crossing his arms. "He scares me." Naomi stated, hiding behind Kieren. "What do we do with him?" Michael asked as we stared at him.

"We can keep him as our informant." Grant suggested as Ash gulped again. "Not a bad a idea. Problem is, we can't trust him." Amell stated as we all sighed. "I got it! Group date guys! Arthur, twins, sorry, but you have to stay with your grandparents." Sebby said smiling. "Even better! More candy!" They exclaimed in unison. "They gave you those stases of candy under your pillows?" I asked raising a brow. "No, nope. What stashes of candy?" Arthur asked nervously. "Arthur, tell us the truth." Chris said raising a brow as well. "Shesh, ever since you guys got together, we've been getting bullied." Arthur complained. Everyone laughed. "It's settled then. I'll call mom." I said smiling.

"Honey! Hi! How are you? We saw what that girl posted. Are you both alright?" Mom asked as I heard groaning. "Bradley's with you?" I asked I heard it again. "Yes." Mom replied as I heard a yelp. "What the hell is happening there?" I asked sitting on the couch. "Your dad is teaching him self-defense and he keeps falling." Mom replied as I heard Bradley sigh in relief. "Anyway, are you still here in New York?" I asked as Chris joined me. "Yup, are we on babysitting duty?" Mom asked we heard shuffling. "Is it alright?" I asked. "Of course, honey! We'll be there in an hour. See ya!" Mom exclaimed ending the call. "They told me to tell you we have to change." Chris whispered kissing my neck. I bit my lip as I stood up. "I'm going to change, ALONE." I said running up towards and room and locking it before he could come in.

I quickly changed into a dark blue dress with blue heels. I got a blue scarf and opened the door to find Chris changed. "Where'd you get your clothes?" I asked raising a brow. "I already changed before you. You look stunning." He whispered kissing the top of my hand. I smiled kissing his cheek. "Shall we?" He asked as I linked my arm with his. We walked down to see everyone changed. "So where are we going?" I asked as they all glared at Ash. "What is it?" I asked frowning. "He wants to make a deal." Michael replied as he grabbed the man by the collar. "What is it?" I asked as Chris gripped my hand. "He wants an hour with you, ALONE, after the group date." Michael replied about to punch him, but I let Chris' hand go and held Michael's hand back. "I'll... I'll talk to him, but I set my terms." I stated as Michael let him go. "Name it." Ash replied smirking. "Chris comes with me." I replied as I felt Chris' glare.

"Deal. I'll come back at nine." Ash replied smirking. I gulped motioning for Sebastian to let him go. "You can't just let him go." Amell stated worriedly. "I can and I will. This is the only way he'll help us." I replied sighing as they untied Ash. "See you tonight, Emily." Ash whispered touching my cheek then left. I gaged when I saw him disappear. "Are you alright?" Alana asked as everyone sat in the living room. "Al, I'm fine. Let's just get this over with. I'm not letting that ass ruin my date." I replied taking in deep breathes. "Your date?" Chris asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek. "I can't get over the fact that they're not married yet. They're so adorable!" Alana exclaimed as there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." I said walking towards the door.

"Mom! Bradley!" I exclaimed hugging them both. "Where's dad?" I asked pulling away. "Right here." Dad stated hugging me. "Take the van." Dad said handing me the keys. I smiled kissing his cheek. "Thank you!" I exclaimed going back in and tossing the keys towards Amell.

"Arthur! Kier! Mimi! Oh, it's so nice to see you!" Mom exclaimed hugging all three. "You all go along now. We'll bring these three for a fun day in the Amusement Park. Take care. I love you!" Mom exclaimed giving me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled waving goodbye as I sat beside Chris in the front row. "We're going to go see a movie first." Chris said putting an arm around me. I smiled as Amell started the van and we drove while singing and laughing. Chris was so handsome when he sang. Reminds me of his character in What's Your Number, actually. "Come on guys! We might get caught by the paparazzi and we might miss the movie!" Chris exclaimed as we all ran in the mall and avoided the paparazzi while taking pictures and signing stuff for fans.

We bought our tickets and went in. We were watching Harry Potter. "I didn't know you liked Harry Potter." I whispered as the movie started. "And I want you to know me more." He replied as I leaned on his shoulder. Jared was so hyped as he fanboyed over Harry Potter to Genevieve. We met up with Gen and Danielle before we got in. "Emily, not to alarm you both or anything, but Ash is behind us." Grant whispered as he backed away a bit. "What are you doing?" I asked as he pushed us towards the elevator with James, Michael, and Amell. "What the hell is going on?" Chris asked hugging me closer. "Jensen, Jared, and Sebastian had a feeling that psycho was going to follow you and not honor your deal so Chris had you both reserved in a fancy restaurant just a mile up the road. Take this. We'll handle that psycho. Don't go home until tomorrow, okay? You have to promise me." Michael ordered as I let go of Chris and I hugged Michael tightly.

"I promise." I replied pulling away as Chris pulled me out the elevator. "Run." Amell said smiling and closing the elevator. "Ready?" Chris asked as he suddenly carried me bridal style. "Chris!" I yelped as he ran towards the parking lot. I chuckled as I saw his car in front of us. He grinned opening the door and putting me shotgun as he put the seatbelt on me and closed the door. He quickly got in his side and drove out of the parking lot. We took in deep breathes as we reached the fancy restaurant. "Not bad." Chris commented as we both removed our seat belts at the same time. He cupped my cheek and gently pulled me to look at him. I blushed as he kissed me softly. I smiled wrapping my hands around the nape of his neck. He pulled away slowly kissing my nose. "As much as I want to take you here and now, we have a date to finish." He whispered pulling away completely and getting out.

I giggled as he opened my door and helped me out. "Care to join me?" He asked as we walked in the restaurant. "Gladly." I replied as the waiter came. "Name, please." He stated smiling brightly. "Evans. Chris Evans." Chris replied kissing the top of my hand. "This way, Mr. Evans." He replied as he lead us to the table in the middle of the room. I raised a brow as Chris pulled the chair for me. I giggled as he sat in front of me. "You look beautiful." He commented tucking a stray hair behind my ear. I blushed as he linked our fingers on the table. "So, tell me, Emily. What do you like to do on rainy days?" Chris asked as the waiter came with champagne. "Champagne, sir?" He asked as Chris replied saying a yes with his charming smiled.

I smiled as he caressed the top of my hand. "I like to sleep in, read a good book, or watch a movie. Depends really. I used to play under the rain with Sebby and Brad. We'd always jump on the puddles then splash each other." I replied smiling at the memory. "Your smile brightens up my day." He stated as I looked back at his eyes. They were sparkling. "I find it adorable that you can't keep your mouth shut about me." He teased as I shot him a playful smirk. "Are you sure I was talking about you?" I asked as our waiter came back with menus. "I'm Orlando, your server for tonight. What would you like to eat, sir, ma'am?" He asked smiling. I smiled back and checked the menu. Pastas! Goodness gracious! I sneaked a peak at Chris to see him send me a wink. I blushed coercing my face. "I'd like the pesto pasta with garlic bread." I ordered smiling. "Make that two orders." Chris ordered as we handed Orlando the menus.

"Alright sir, I'll be back with your orders in a giffy." He replied smiling. He walked away as Chris smirked at me. "What?" I asked as he kissing my fingers. "Nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask something really embarrassing." He replied as we looked into each others eyes. "What is it?" I asked raising a brow. "Are you sure you want to know? I mean I think I was the one that ruined your innocence." He replied smirking. I felt my cheeks heat up. "I did?!" He asked as I saw a taint of red on his cheeks. "Aw, why are you blushing?" I asked leaning on my left arm. "Well, I-I just thought I would be like your fifth or sixth or something." He replied rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. I shook my head no. "I'm not like other girls, Chris." I replied smiling. "I figured." He replied as the food came. "Bon appetite." Orlando said serving us our food. We smiled at him as he left. "Chris?" I asked as he chewed his food. He looked so hot and those lips. I really want to feel it. "As much as I love to hear your comments. I think you're making me feel a bit uncomfortable." He replied blushing. I gasped covering my mouth. He smirked as I took a bite at my pasta and licked my lips.

I smirked looking at Chris. "What are you doing to me?" He asked drinking. I smiled innocently. "You know you're quite the lady I never expected." He commented as he stood up and used me as cover for his front. "Can I help you with anything?" I asked as we reached the car. "Get in the car." He ordered as I walked towards my side and got in to be attacked with kisses. I smiled kissing him back. I moaned into his mouth as he started trailing his hand up my thigh. I frowned pulling away.

"That's the last time you'll be able to touch me this week." I stated as he raises a brow, trapping me between the door and him. "W-Why?" He asked pained. I kissed his cheek. "As much as I want you, we can't until we get rid of Minka from our lives for good for the sake of our children and us. And I want to finish these 26 dates you've been telling me about. I want to know that you aren't with me just for the sex." I stated crossing my arms. He sighed kissing me one last time before pulling away completely. "If that's what it takes for me to touch you again, then fine." He replied as he took my hand and kissed the top. I smiled at him as we drove away.
