One In A Million

aww. I like that you had them go watch The Lion King with the kids rather than "make more babies" - very nice. :p

Donkey, labor - good one. :lol:
 
Ok here's the next chapter! I hope you like it!

Chapter 10

Eric walked into the kitchen to see Natalia drinking from a glass of milk.

After she'd finished drinking, she put the glass on the counter, and Eric snuck up behind her and pinched her sides.

"Whoa!" She squealed as she swung around to see Eric right in her face, with a grin.

"Hey! Youre not supposed to be awake for another hour. I was going to make you breakfast." Eric laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I love you." He whispered into her ear.

"I love you more." She replied flirtatiously as she stood up on her toes and kissed his lips softly, and then more passionately. Eric cupped her face with one hand and securely held her body up to his with the other hand.

She began to moan as he slowly moved down, and began to kiss her neck.

But suddenly they were interrupted by their daughters confused voice.

"Daddy, why are you trying to eat mommys face?" Adrianne asked.

Natalia and Eric swung around to see Adrianne standing in the doorway.

"Adrianne! What are you doing up so early?" Eric shrieked, as he quickly ripped his lips away from Natalias.

"Avery was snoring and I couldn't sleep, so I went into your room but yall werent there." She replied.

"What are you and mommy doing up?" She added, as she raised her eyebrows and gave them a cheeky grin.

"Nothing!" Natalia giggled.

After a few moments Eric opened the pantry and pulled out the box of coco-pops.

"Do you want some coco-pops Adrianne?" He asked.

"No thanks. Oh, daddy, daddy! Can I have some of your Krispy Kremes?!"

Adrianne asked as she began to jump franticly.

"Uh, what Krispy Kremes?" Eric asked innocently, as he nervously glanced at Natalia.

"Yeah Adrianne. WHAT Krispy Kremes?" Natalia replied as she gave Eric a suspicious look.

"You know? The ones that daddy hides in his closet?" She replied casually.

"Oh really?" Natalia laughed as nudged Erics arm.

"The ones that daddy hides?" Natalia said as she crossed her arms.

Just then Avery walked into the room with her teddy bear, Fraiser in her arms. She had just been crying, so she had a red teary face.

"Whats wrong Avery?" Adrianne asked in a worried tone.

"F-F-Fraiser wet the bed." She sobbed.

Natalia and Eric looked at each other as they realized what she meant.

"What do you mean Fraiser wet the bed? Fraiser is a bear..Wait, you mean YOU wet the bed? Ew! Gross! Geeze Avery, you still wet the bed! Not even Aiden wets the bed!" Adrianne teased as she pointed her finger.

"I hate you!" Screamed Avery.

"Girls! Stop fighting!" Eric said firmly.

"Sorry daddy." Adrianne said quietly.

"Show me where Fraiser wet the bed after breakfast."

Natalia sighed, then she turned around. She took two bowls out of the cupboard, and placed them onto the kitchen counter.

"Yall are going to have to have coco-pops, thats all weve got." She mumbled.

"Ok." Avery replied, as she and Adrianne took a seat at the breakfast table.

Eric smiled to himself, then he whispered into Adrianne and Averys ears.

"Do you want daddy, to get mommy mad?" He chuckled.

"Yea." They giggled.

Eric turned around and grabbed the pan-cake spatula from the bench and snuck up behind Natalias turned back. He then gently hit her bottom with the spatula, and Avery and Adrianne exploded in laughter. Natalia quickly turned around to face him.

"What are you doing?!" She hissed.

"Foreplay." He replied, as he reached the spatula behind her back and spanked her again.

"Eric! Not in front of the kids!" She said as she snatched the spatula from his hand.

"Oh come on, you know you love it!" He laughed along with Avery and Adrianne.

"Not right now I dont!" Natalia grumbled as she turned around and opened the fridge to get the milk out. Eric then grabbed a wet tea towel from the bench and whipped her bottom.

"Eric Delko! You stop that right now!" She screamed, half smiling.

"Make me." He replied raising his eyebrows. Natalia tried to grab the tea towel, but Eric quickly dodged her hands, then he whipped her again.

"Heyyyy!" She squealed as she began to run away, but he ran after and continued to whip her.

"Get her daddy!" Avery and Adrianne cheered from the kitchen table, as their father chased their mother up the stairs, whipping her bottom.

"I guess we won't be seeing them for awhile." Avery said as she ate a bite of her cereal.

Let me know what you think! :thumbsup:
 
Here's an update! Sorry for the wait! I've been trying to work on a few chapters. Hope you like it.

Chapter 11

The next day

"I'm home." Eric yelled as he shut the door behind him.

No one answered. Eric walked into the living room to find Natalia laying asleep on the couch. He couldn't decide on whether he should wake her up or let her sleep. He walks over to the side of the couch and brushes a piece of hair out of her face.

"You are so beautiful." Eric said as he kissed her forehead and walked upstairs quietly and hopped into the shower.

"Mommy!" Aiden yelled as he came flying down the stairs.

"What?" Natalia said as she jumped and sat up on the couch.

"I love you." Aiden said as he calmed his voice down and hugged her.

"I love you too." Natalia said as she hugged him back.

"Can we go swimming?"

"Sure. Go tell Adrianne and Avery to put their bathing suits on." Natalia said as she let him go and watched him run upstairs.

"Adrianne, Avery, we're going swimming!" Aiden yelled running up the stairs skipping every other step.

Natalia smiled to herself as she got up and headed to the stairs but was stopped by someone.

"Good morning beautiful." Eric said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Good morning." Natalia said as she let out a yawn.

"I guess we're going swimming?" Eric said as he pointed towards the kids rooms.

"Yes we are."

"Well ya'll are going swimming cause no one asked me if I wanted to go."

Eric said as he laced his fingers through Natalias.

"Well would you like to go swimming Mr. Delko?" Natalia said with a smirk on her face.

"I would love to go swimming Mrs. Delko." Eric said as he turned around and pulled her with him.

"Watch ouuuut!" Aiden screamed as he came sprinting out of his room acting like he was driving a car and headed towards the stairs with his sisters following him.

"Wait mommy, daddy, why arent ya'll dressed?" Aiden said as they all stopped.

"Daddy you aren't gonna go in there and eat mommys face again are you?" Adrianne said as she put her hands on her hips.

"No sweetie daddys not gonna do that." Natalia said as she leaned down and kissed her head.

"Ok good."

"Go eat breakfast and we'll be down in a little bit."

"Ok daddy." They all said and walked downstairs.

A few minutes later Eric came walking downstairs in his swimtrunks. Natalia and the kids were waiting patiently on him.

"Who's ready to go swimming?!" Eric said as he bent over and placed his hands on his knees.

"We are!" The kids said as they sprinted out the door.

"Ok lets go." Eric said as he sprinted towards the door but made a pit stop.

"Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?" Eric said as walked over to Natalia.

"Especially in a yellow bathing suit." Eric thought to himself.

"Well there's one person but they havent told me in a long time." Natalia said as she place her hands on her hips.

"Well he just told you." Eric said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips.

"Mommy, I can't get my swimmies on." Aiden said as he was trying to put one on his arm.

Natalia looked at Eric and smiled and walked over to Aiden to help him.

"There you go." Natalia said as she gave Aiden a kiss and patted his bottom and he went sprinting outside and into the pool.

"Mommy watch what I can do!" Avery yelled as Natalia walked outside and to the edge of the pool.

Avery did a front flip into the pool off the dinving board.

"Very good Avery."

"Mommy watch out!" Adrianne yelled as she saw Eric running full speed up behind Natalia.

As Natalia turned around and saw Eric running towards her she tried to move but Eric wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into the pool with him.

"Eric Delko!" Natalia said as they surfaced.

"What?"

"I sware I'm gonna kill you." Natalia said as she fixed her top and hopped up onto the float and layed on her back.

"Oh really?" Eric said as he splashed water onto her.

"Eric please."

"Geeze it must be that time of the month." Eric said as he grabbed Adrianne and placed her on his shoulders.

"How did you know?" Natalia said sarcastically.

"Lucky guess." He said as Adrianne jumped off his shoulders.

"Ha." Natalia said as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Let me know what you think! :thumbsup:
 
:lol: at "It must be that time of the month". haha. Girls hate it when guys say that though. :lol:

Liked their daughter asking if Eric was gonna eat Natalia's face again and with her hands on her hips. :lol:
 
Here's an update! Its kinda cheesy but I'm just trying to finish this story before school starts! I did finish all the chapters today! But I hope you like this! :)

Chapter 12

After they got done swimming they ate supper and get ready for bed.

"Daddy?" Avery said as she hopped into bed.

"Yea?" Eric said as he pulled the covers over her.

"Will you tell us a bedtime story?"

"Sure. What you want me to read? Cinderella..."

"Will you tell us about how you and mommy first met?" Adrianne said as she was tucked in as well.

"Ok. Let's see....I was at work and I was at the front desk signing some papers and she came in in this yellow top and white pants and her hair curled.

She came over to me and asked me where she could apply for a job and I took her there." Eric said as Natalia wakled up to the doorway to kiss the girls goodnight but stopped when she heard him telling a story.

"She was the most beautiful thing I had ever scene. So perfect in every way. I was hoping they would give her the job so I could see her everyday. As we waited to see if she got the job we hung out on a regular basis. Did the normal things like went out to eat, saw movies, and so on. I will never forget the day she told me she got the job.

We were on her front porch sitting in a swing, and she looked at me and said, "So I have something to tell you." And I said "What?" and she said "I got the job!" And I hugged her and said "Congratulations!" I didn't want to let go of her. As we started to let go of eachothers embrace we stopped just to where our faces were inches apart. We stared into eachothers eyes and before we knew it our lips were touching eachothers."

"Was mommy a good kisser?" Avery asked.

"Yes, she is." Eric said as he laughed.

"So is that why you're always kissing eachother?" Avery asked with out hesitation.

"Avery, shhhh, let him finish the story." Adrianned said.

Eric laughed and continued the story.

"And from that day forward I knew that when I looked into my future she was in it. And that nothing and no one would ever take her away from me." Eric said with a smile on his face.

And Natalia let a tear fall as she smiled too and turned and walked into her and Erics room and got ready for bed.

"And then we came along." Avery said as she clapped.

"Yes and then you came along. But that's another story." Eric said as he stood up and kissed both of their heads.

"But I want to hear it." Avery whined.

"Maybe some other night." Eric said as he turned off their light and shut the door.

Eric walked to their room and tip toed to his side of the bed trying to be as quiet as he could. He finally made it to the bed and got in and pulled the covers over him.

"I love you Eric." Natalia said as she was remember the whole story.

"You're awake?" Eric said as he rolled over.

"How can I not be after hearing that story?" Natalia said as she rolled over to face him and sat up.

"You heard that story?" Eric said as he sat up as well.

"Yea."

"How much?"

"All of it." Natalia said as she let a tear fall.

"Talia, why are you crying?"

"Cause I just remember how easy life was before we had 3 kids. And I love this life dont get me wrong but I miss our old life. I miss the staying up late and making love to eachother. And sitting on the couch watching movies and drinking Midori, and dancing with no music playing...." She said as Eric leaned over and held her.

"Wow, it is that time of the month." Eric said as he held her in his arms and rocked her.

Natalia laughed and cried into his chest.

"Listen, we can have our old life back right now. No one else is awake but you and me." Eric said as he lifted her face and wiped her tears away.

"I know but...." Natalia said but before she could finish Eric pressed his lips up to hers and she relaxed as she felt his hands rub her arms and wrap around her waist returning the kiss to him. They both slowly sank back down into their bed and pulled the covers over them making love to eachother the rest of the night.

The next morning Eric woke up to the feeling of someone's body next to his and his legs intertwined with someone elses. His slowly reached for his phone not wanting to wake Natalia.

He turned his phone on and saw he had a voicemail. As he listened to his he let out a sigh. He watched Natalia as she slept so peacefully. He brushed a piece of hair out of her face and softly kissed her head. She rolled over and met his eyes and smiled.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

"So what you want to do today?" Natalia asked as she sat up in bed.

"Well...I, I needed to talk to you about that." Eric said as he stepped out of bed and stretched.

"Ok." Natalia said feeling confused.

"I just got a call from work and I have to go out of town." Eric said as he pulled his jeans on.

"What?" Natalia said as she pulled the covers over her to cover herself up just in case the kids came in unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry but I have to go."

"For how long?" Natalia asked as she could feel the tears about to fall from her eyes.

"I don't know they didn't say."

"This is so aggravating." Natalia said as she ran her hands through her hair.

"I know. But all I want is to be here with you and the kids." Eric said as he started to pack his stuff.

"Yea I know." Natalia said as she watched him pack his stuff.

"Trust me. You mean everything to me. And I never want to leave your side." Eric said as he climbed onto the bed and on top of her and kissed her.

Natalia let out a sigh as they separated.

"This kills me." Eric said as he hopped up and finished packing.

"Where do you have to go?" Natalia said getting out of bed.

"California."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Ugh."

"I'll call you when I know about everything." Eric said pulling his stuff towards their door and opening it.

"Ok." Natalia said as she opened the door and helped him get his stuff to the airport.

Let me know what you think! :thumbsup:
 
Here's an update! Hope you like it! :)

Chapter 13

It had been 2 weeks before Eric called. Natalia was starting to get aggravated not knowing what was going on.

"Hey Nat." Eric said as he heard the kids screaming in the background.

"Hey."

"I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"Mommy, Adrianne wont give me back Frasier." Avery whined as she pulled on Natalias shirt.

"Adrianne please give Frasier back to Avery." Natalia yelled across the room.

"I guess you do miss me." Eric said as he let out a little chuckle.

"You have no idea." Natalia said as she let out a sigh.

"So when you coming home?"

"I dont know yet."

"Why wont they tell you these things?"

"I dont know, you want to ask them?" Eric said not realizing he was raising his voice.

"No."

"Ok then. I'll get home when I can."

"Ok."

"Mommy! Adrianne took Frasier again." Avery whined as she came running in the kitchen.

"Eric I have to go."

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too." Natalia said as they both hung their phones up.

************************************************************************************
2 weeks later

"I'm home." Eric called as he opened the front door.

"Daddy!" Aiden screamed as he ran into his fathers arms.

"Hey! What you doing?" Eric said as he kissed Aidens forehead.

"I was playing with my dinosaures."

"Oh ok. Where's mommy, Adrianne, and Avery?" Eric said as he placed Aiden back on the ground.

"Adrianne and Avery are in their room watching a movie and mommy is asleep." Aiden said as he started to walk upstairs.

"Why is mommy still asleep? It's 10:00." Eric said as he followed Aiden upstairs.

"I don't know daddy, arent you supposed to know these things?"

"Aiden, go play with your dinosaures." Eric said as he pointed to Aidens room.

"Ok." Aiden said as he walked to his room and as Eric entered their room.

Eric could hear sniffling and walked over to the empty side of the bed.

"Nat, baby, whats the matter?" Eric said as he pulled on her to make her roll over.

"Eric, I don't know how much longer I can do this."

"Do what?"

"This whole leaving for work thing. You're never here. I mean you were gone a whole month."

"I can't help it Nat. It's for work. Someone has to pay the bills."

"I know. I just want you here all the time, helping me."

"I know. How bout I go get a shower and then we can call a babysitter and you and me spend the night out on the town together." Eric said as he got off the bed and headed towards the bathroom.

"Ok." Natalia said getting up and going to her closet to find something to wear.

Meanwhile while Eric was in the shower his phone started ringing. Natalia just let it go to voicemail. After it wouldn't stop vibrating she finally got fed up with it and listened to the voicemail.

"Hey Eric, its Rebekah. I just wanted to let you know that I had a great time the other night! I'm sorry that you had to go home. I miss you bunches. Call me sometime and maybe we can meet up and discuss more stuff. Bye."

Natalia couldnt believe what she was hearing. Eric had been cheating on her the whole time. Just then she heard the bathroom
door open and she turned and looked at Eric with a tear stained face.

"What's wrong?" Eric said as he walked over to her.

"Eric?"

"Yea?"

"Who is Rebekah?" Natalia said as she titled the phone in her hand.

"Who?"

"Rebekah. You know the one they had such a great time with you one night while you were in California."

"Oh her. She's just a friend. I met her while we were there." Eric said pulling on his shirt.

"Really, cause the way the message sounded it was like ya'll were more than just friends."

"Nat..."

"What Eric, I'm not gonna drop this. You have a girl calling you from freaking California telling you she had a great time the other night and hated that you had to leave, and to call her."

"Ok and...?"

"Eric, don't play dumb with me. I know you. Whered you meet her?"

"I don't remember."

"Oh wow, great time for a memory lapse." Natalia said as she walked over to her closet to put her clothes back in it.

"She worked with me Natalia."

"Oh yea right. You must have made a really good first impression on her for her to call you and tell you that. God knows what
went on after that."

"I'm sorry."

"Oh it's ok cause I'm done." Natalia said as she walked towards the door.

"What? Nat wait..." Eric said as he grabbed her elbow.

"Let go of me." Natalia said as she pulled her elbow from his hand.

"I'm sorry Nat."

"Eric, please, lets just take some time away from eachother. It'll probably be for the best."

"What about the kids?"
 
poor Nat and the kids , hope she and Eric can sort it out , Great update :thumbsup: can't wait for the next Chapter .
 
He better not be! :wtf: .... :evil:


I'd say it's time for him to find a new job....can't be family man when the job takes you away that much -- it's unfair to all of them.
 
Sorry for the wait! But here's an update! I hope ya'll like it! :)

Chapter 14

"I'll take them for this weekend and you can have them next weekend and we'll switch every weekend." Natalia said as she
packed her stuff into he suitcase.

"Where are you gonna go?" Eric asked feeling sad as he watched her pack.

"My parents live here, I'll go stay with them."

"Natalia are you sure we shouldn't think about this?" Eric said as he went over beside her and placed his hand on hers.

"Yes Eric I'm sure." Natalia said as she pulled her hand away and walked to the girls bedroom.

"Pack your stuff we're going to grandmas." Natalia said as she pulled out their suitcases.

"Ok!" The girls said as they hopped up and started packing.

Then Natalia walked into Aidens room and told him the same thing.

Natalia walked back into their room and got her suitcase and threw it into the back of the Hummer.

"Wait you're not taking my Hummer."

"Eric, I have all the kids. You can live without your Hummer. You have the Volvo. That's big enough for you." Natalia said as she walked back inside
grabbing the girls stuff.

"Mommy is daddy coming?" Adrianne asked as she helped her mom with her stuff.

"No." Natalia said as she threw their stuff in the back as well.

"Oh ok." Adrianne said as she, Avery, and Aiden hopped up into the Hummer.

Natalia buckled them in and let Eric kiss them goodbye.

Natalia hopped into the Hummer and turned it on and put it into reverse.

"Natalia...." Eric said as he stepped towards the car.

"What Eric?" She said as she rolled her eyes.

"I love you."

"Yea, well right now I don't feel like you do. But I do know one thing..."

"And what's that?"

"I love you." Natalia said as she backed out of the driveway.

Eric let a tear fall down his cheek as he walked inside feeling hurt.

Natalia sped down the highway trying to hold back the tears, listening to the radio as the kids stared out the window as the sky turned gray and it started to rain. Natalia turned the music up and listened closely to the lyrics of the song playing and how they related to her life right about then.

"I know this isn't what I wanted
I never thought it'd come this far
Just thinkin' back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are.

We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I'd give it all for that to change
And I don't want to lose her
Don't wanna let her go

I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
Before the storm

With every strike of lightning
Comes a memory that lasts
And not a word is left unspoken
As the thunder starts to crash
Maybe I should give up

I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold ya
Like I did before the storm

Trying to keep the lights from going out
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart
They always say,
A heart is not a whole
Without the one who gets you through the storm

Standin' out in the rain
Knowing that it's really over
Please don't leave me alone
I'm flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I'll never hold ya
Like I did before the storm." Natalia pulled into her mom's driveway and let the tears run down her face like there was no tomorrow.

She turned off the ignition, whiped her tears, and got out and unbuckled Adrianne and Avery and Aiden and they walked up to her moms door.

"Hey baby girl!" Natalias mom greeted as she opened the door.

"Hey mom." Natalia said as she hugged her mom.

"Here, let me help with that stuff." Natalias dad said as he came out the door and grabbed some of the suitcases.

"Thanks dad."

"You're welcome."

"Grandma!" The kids yelled as they ran up to her.

"Hey kids!" She said as she hugged all three of them.

"Can we make some cookies?" Aiden asked not hesistating while everyone laughed.

"Sure."

"Yay!"

The kids ran up stairs while Natalia, her mom, and her dad went and sat on the couch.

"So, what did Eric do this time?" Natalias mom said.

"Well, he had to go to California, and when he got back I heard a voicemail on his phone and it was from a girl in California. And she told him to call her. And I asked him about her and he said she worked with him. But I just didn't believe him."

"Well what if he was telling the truth?" Natalias dad said as he brought her a drink.

"What if he wasn't?" Natalia said before taking a sip of her drink.

"Well how would you know if you haven't talked to this girl or really even given Eric a chance to talk about it."

"I don't know. But I'm tired so I'm going to bed." Natalia said as she got up and put her drink away and walked up stairs and got in the bed and fell asleep.

Let me know what you think. :thumbsup:

Song is called Before the Storm by Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas.
 
I'm a little confused. Why did he have to go out of town for work? Is he something besides a CSI now? Undercover maybe? I think I might have missed something somewhere. I wasn't feeling too well all last week, so it's possible that I somehow missed something.

Nice chapter though. I think Natalia's parents are right. She didn't really give him much of a chance to explain.
