Chapter 120: He's a keeper

Pickle POV

"I will love to just hold you but foods almost here so let's get you dressed and fed first" I give her a small smile and kiss her head.

She nods her head. I finish washing her hair. When I'm done I help her stand then I lift her out and I get her all dried off.

I pull her up to my waist and head to her room. I set her on her bed and grab her some clothes. I help her pull on some sleep shorts and a baggy shirt. I hurry and grab a shirt to change from my wet shirt.

She comes up behind me and wraps her arms around my waist and starts kissing my back tracing a scar with her finger a shiver runs through my body as she does.

She kisses me all around till she's in front of me.

She loops her arms around my neck and pulls me down to her lips. Just as she deepens the kiss the door bell rings. Damn it.

I pull away "That's dinner love, I'll go grab it" I kiss her lips softly and head out to get the door.

I open the door and it's Flame holding the food. She smiles and holds up the bags.

"Hi sweetheart" I say as I kiss her cheek and move so she can come in.

"I found the kid out here waiting and tipped him in cash for you" she hands me the food and gives me a hug.

"Thank you dear." I say kissing her cheek.

"How are you holding up?" I ask her with a smile.

She shrugs "How's River?" She asks me with a soft smile back.

I shrug back "she's sad same as you." She nods.

I point down the hall "You want to go grab her and I'll grab the other two" she hands me the bags.

"Of course, dinner smells good" she says turning to walk down the hall.

River POV

I hear a light knock "You don't have to knock Pickle" I say laughing as I brush my hair.

"Don't be disappointed but it's just me" I turn quickly at the female voice.

"Flame!" I yell jumping up and hugging her.

"Hey love, how are you holding up" She asks looking me over.

"I guess the same as you. I'm sorry your brother had to leave early" I say smiling sadly, her eyes are dark and puffy like mine.

She nods "Me too. Denalii wanted me to tell you, he was really glad he got to meet you before he left and he will do his best to keep Finn safe and bring him home to you" my stomach flips at the mention of him.

I hug her again "Have you heard anything from him yet?"

"No sweetie, it will probably be awhile before we hear from them. Last time we didn't hear from him for a few weeks." Weeks!? I can't wait weeks that makes me feel a little sick to my stomach.

"Ohh okay" I say sadly turning a little so she can't see the tears starting in my eyes. I miss Finn so much already.

"Let's go eat" she says taking my hand and pulling me out the door.

When we get to the kitchen I see that Pickle has everything laid out and ready for us all. He's so sweet and thoughtful. He looks sexy in the kitchen.

I walk around the counter and pull him to me for a kiss.

"This was super sweet of you, thank you."  I kiss him one more time and as I'm turning to walk away he grabs me and pulls me back.

He smiles at me before he kisses me again "Okay guys let's eat" he says smiling at me.

We all eat a ton and there is still alot left. I'm so full I might explode or fall asleep.

"I guess I'm used to feeding a small army" he laughs looking at all the leftovers.

"Now we have lunch tomorrow" Chailor says smiling as she's closing a few containers and putting things away.

"Drinks?" Lincoln asks looking at us. I can use a drink.

We all nod to him.

Flame takes over the drink making duties. She's better at making some mixed drinks and of course the mocktails Chailor loves. Lincoln moves aside but watches how to make the mocktails.

I'm cleaning up the kitchen and Pickle's putting the rest of the food away.

I look up and Chailor's watching us and smiling.

I walk over and hug her tight.

"Hi sweet face" she says to me squeezing me back just as tight.

I move my hands to her belly "Hi my little god baby."  I say to her little bean.

"I like him. He's a keeper" she says watching Pickle.

"Yeah, I think I'll keep him around for awhile"  I say smiling at her. I can't take my eyes off him, he went out of his way to make sure we didn't need to do anything.

He is pretty great. He's still here taking care of me. I'm so lucky to have these two wonderful men in my life.

I walk over and grab his face as he's bent down cleaning the counter, I pull him to my lips, I kiss him deeply till he pulls back. His hands now around my waist holding me close to him.

"Hi Kitten" he says smiling at me. He looks at me and I'm still smiling ear to ear.

"Thank you for loving me"  I kiss his lips giving him just a small peck.

He blushes a little and smiles back at me. My heart skips a beat. Okay the guys are right it's sexy as fuck seeing him blush.

"Come on and let's go drink" he says kissing my head.

He swoops me up bridal style and carries me to the living room and sets me down between Chailor and Flame.

We play a few hands of 31 and have a few drinks. Flame is yawning and Chailor has already fell asleep on Lincoln's lap.

"I'm going to take my wife to bed, see you all in the morning"  Lincoln says moving Chailor head so he can stand.

"Goodnight" I say kissing his cheek.

He picks up Chailor and heads to his room.

"Come on ladies, let's get to bed" Pickle says with a smile.

"Don't think I won't punch you" Flame says laughing.

He throws his hands up, laughing as he picks me up "I didn't mean it to sound like that" he says laughing harder.

"Sure you didn't" I say laughing.

"I got Finn's room all set up for you, come on and we'll show you the way" He says laughing.

We show Flame to the room and head to mine.

He turns and looks at me. He smiles as he sees me with my arms up. He walks over to me never breaking our eyes and take my shirt off.

I reach up and pull his shirt off. I quickly pull him in for a kiss. He pulls me to his waist never breaking our kiss holding my ass cheeks tightly.
