The Mitchell Family Series BoxSet 1-4.5 (60 page)

I laid there for a while, just stroking little pieces of his hair. I had wanted a child of my own for so long. Being a mother was so important to me and here was this child, who obviously needed and trusted me. Maybe it was God’s plan all along for him to come into our lives. I kissed the little boy’s head and let myself fall asleep, feeling like that empty hole in my heart could actually have a chance to heal.

I woke to Colt talking to Noah. The sun was up and they were both leaning on their elbows in bed. Noah was telling Colt about a mean kid in his preschool. Colt was making faces and reacting exactly the way that Noah wanted him too.

I giggled and caught their attention. “Good morning sleepy head,” Colt said as he tossed an extra pillow my way.

“Not everyone likes to wake up at the crack of dawn,” I mumbled.

“We have a big day today. Conner and I are going to paint Noah’s room while you and Mom are out buying his furniture.”

“Sounds like you have it all planned out.”

“My dad says that we can paint it blue and green. Do you like blue and green? Green is my favorite. What is your favorite color?” The little boys sudden burst of conversation was unexpected. Colt began to laugh at me, as I tried to take in everything that had just come out of his mouth.

“Green is a nice color, Noah. My favorite is blue.”

“Blue is cool too. Do you think I could put spaceships on my ceiling?” He asked.

I sat up and walked toward the bathroom. Noah followed behind me, not realizing I needed a private moment. It was a good thing the toilet had its own private door. “Be right back,” I said as I closed the door to relieve myself.

When I came back out he was standing there with his hands behind his back waiting in the same spot I had left him. I gave him a quick smile and grabbed my toothbrush. “Can I brush my teeth too?”

Colt came in behind me and kissed me on the shoulder before reaching in the cabinet to grab one of  the extra toothbrushes I had bought during one of my extreme couponing splurges. “Here Buddy. It might be too big for your tiny teeth though.”

He reached as far as he could, but couldn’t wet his toothbrush under the water. Colt lifted him up and let him sit on the sink. We all three brushed our teeth in unison. It was a simple mundane action, but it was so sweet. This was the family interaction that I wanted all along.

When Colt would spit, Noah would spit. He copied his father’s every move in fact. I came out of the bathroom to see them straightening the bed. He tossed the little boy on it and started tickling him. Noah laughed so hard as the two of them bonded. I leaned on the door frame, just watching how happy they were.

Our day of shopping burned little Noah out. At first he was so excited, but as we needed to fill out paperwork and drive to different places, he got tired. By the time we were on our way home he had fallen asleep.

Colt met us outside and offered to carry the sleeping little guy up to our bed. His mother, Conner and I started getting everything out of the car. By the time we made it up to his room, Colt was already back in Noah’s room. “What do you think? Think we did good?” He asked.

I looked around the room. I don’t know when they had the time, but they had painted the room green and blue. Hung from the ceiling were different planes and spaceships. “It looks amazing. He is going to love this.”

“Conner found him some glow in the dark stars too,” he added.

They both seemed so proud of their hard work. Colt’s mother had paid the furniture company to deliver it to our house. We could hear the trucks coming down the gravel driveway, so I ran downstairs to meet them.

Within thirty minutes we had his whole bedroom suite set up. The big surprise was that we had found a real bed in the shape of a train. Since it was a special order, Colt’s mother bought the floor model. This was her first grandchild, so you can imagine how much spoiling was going to occur. It worked out better because I had no idea how the thing was originally put together. It came apart in five pieces, but it was giant. His mother smiled from cheek to cheek as the guys got it all set up.

She had managed to buy him the furniture and also a whole slew of new clothes. I bought him all of his bedding, curtains and some cool toys for his room. It was no wonder he was conked out in the other room. I was about to fall asleep myself. 

Noah slept for two hours, allowing us ample time to get his room set up. Conner and my mother in law finally went home, leaving Colt and I alone. I considered going into the room and sleeping right next to him, but my excitement for him seeing that room was too much to handle.

I sat on his train bed, setting up his toys on the built in book shelves. Colt hung his curtains and was arranging them as Noah walked into room. He put his hands over his mouth and looked around.

Colt put his hands on his hips. “Hey Buddy. What do you think? Did we do good?”

He ran toward Colt and wrapped his arms around his legs. “WOW!” He shouted.

We ended up ordering pizza after spending the next hour playing with all of the cool new things in his room. For someone that had just came into our lives, it felt like he had always been there with us.

The next few months went by fast. We got Noah enrolled in a preschool program close to home. He was excited to wear a cute little uniform everyday like the bigger kids did. Of course, he wore a uniform because it was an elite private school, not that Noah cared anything about that. He made new friends and no longer got picked on by other children.

He and Colt spent a bunch of time together, in fact, he often went to work with his father. Colt had taught him all about the chickens and even some things about the cattle. He thoroughly enjoyed the tractors and riding them with Colt. Sam no longer slept on our bedroom floor. She found a new spot in bed with Noah. Noah couldn’t have been more happy about it, considering he didn’t like being alone very much.

I wasn’t going to therapy as much and I actually felt good every day I woke up. We planned a huge trip to Disney World with Miranda and Ty in the fall and Noah was so excited to be able to see Mickey Mouse.

He and Bella finally got to meet and they were the cutest little pair of cousins. While they visited we had a professional photographer come and take pictures of them together as well as family photos of both of our families. I bought every single pose and hung them all over the house.

Colt had finally got in touch with Krista’s father and visited him at the nursing home. He gave Colt lot’s of old photos of Noah that Krista had given him. We wanted Noah to always be able to remember his birth mother. She had brought him into the world and spent her last breath loving him. We hung her pictures in his room along with new ones.

Social services came out for one visit and never contacted us again. We had sole custody and nobody could ever take Noah away from Colt. 

Noah saw a therapist for the first two months he lived with us. We did it as a precautionary measure, but were relieved when the doctor said he was coping with the loss of his mother and change in his life very well. Colt and I spent every single free moment making him feel like he belonged with us.

For the longest time Noah called me Van. He liked that I had such a funny name. One day we were at the park. Colt and I were sitting together on a bench watching him play with the other kids. This cute little girl came walking over to us to tell us she had a new baby brother. As we gave her our attention, a very jealous Noah came over and climbed onto my lap. He interrupted her and put his face in front of mine, taking away my view of the little girl. “I love you, Mommy.”

His words took my breath away. I forgot all about that little girl as I hugged that jealous little boy. “I love you too, Noah. So much.”

“Why are you crying?” He asked.

“You called me Mommy.”

“Are you sad now?”

“No Buddy. I am so happy. You make me so happy.” I squeezed that little kid so tight as Colt rubbed my shoulder.

I was wrong about not being able to be his mother. My life revolved around that child and it was wonderful. I would never forget the baby that I lost, but Noah made me treasure every single day of being his parent.

Chapter 17

Colt

With the addition of Noah to our family, Savanna and I didn’t exactly have a lot of alone time. She became so focused on being a mother that our time together just seemed to be put on the back burner. I wasn’t complaining, she was an awesome mother. Noah was crazy about her.

Aside from his three days a week in preschool, they spent all of their time together. Savanna was an only child and I could relate somewhat, but I also got to grow up with my younger cousins, where Savanna didn’t have that.

I think sometimes she enjoyed playing with toys and being his pal. I had come home several times to them playing army men, or building giant Lego towers. I think part of the reason he adored her so much was her ability to play like a four year old.

Savanna and I had decided to get him a pony and start teaching him how to ride horses. She wanted to be the one to show him everything about it. I remember the day that horse trailer pulled into the ranch. Noah went flying out of the house, just waiting to see what his horse looked like. He had spent an entire week trying to guess it’s color and height.

His pony was white with brown spots and he named him Atticus. It wasn’t a common horse name, but his first choice had been Toilet Paper Butt. We spent a half hour explaining that toilet paper combined with butt was not an appropriate name, and whichever one of his friends that told him that should be ashamed of themselves.

Savanna taught him the basics, first showing him what every part of a horse was called. Next she taught him how to saddle up his pony. After the first day he was busting to ride. While I took him out on one of the combines, Savanna saddled the pony up and gave him a test ride. We had bought him off of someone we knew and a little girl had been the previous owner. The pony was used to being ridden.

That following morning we saddled up one pony and two horses and went for a family ride. Savanna held on to a separate set of reigns to prevent Atticus from running off with our four year old son. We kept the horses at a slow pace, never letting them gallop or canter. Noah wanted to let loose, but Savanna did one hell of a job keeping him calm.

After a couple weeks she finally let him start riding without guidance. I bought him some boots and a cowboy hat so he could be the real deal. It was fascinating watching him grow right before my eyes.

Since we never got time alone, I had surprised Savanna with a trip to a cabin in the woods. I’ll admit that my intentions were only on one thing, but she never complained when I gave her the news. My mother took Noah gladly for the whole weekend, promising to not buy him a small island while we were gone.

It was so nice to get away with my beautiful wife. I had missed her so much physically. We spent every single day together, but I still missed her. Before Noah came into our lives, things weren’t exactly perfect. We had suffered so much and even though his coming into our lives made us stronger, we were still lacking the physical aspect of our marriage.

Our son had some kind of built in radar for intimate moments and many times he had come in the room right before the big moment was about to happen. Colt called him CB behind his back, as opposed to actually saying the word cock block. He was a little kid. He couldn’t have known that he was interfering in our special time together.

The cabin was very secluded and unbeknownst to Savanna, had a very large Jacuzzi tub in it. I made sure to pack all of our groceries so we never had to leave once we arrived. I didn’t want to share my wife for the entire weekend.

I carried her into the cabin and sat her down so she could take in the glass wall facing the back of the house. A view of a lake was behind the small house.

“It’s beautiful here.” Savanna turned around and wrapped her arms around me.

I pressed my lips against hers, keeping them there for longer than we were used to. Her tongue stroked my lip, causing me to open my mouth for her. As our tongues started to meet, I felt her hands reaching up my shirt. I kicked the front door shut as she pushed me back up against the wall. Our kissed intensified and as our tongues continued to mingle. I could feel my cock hardening in my jeans.

I swung Savanna around lifting her up, pressing her against the wall. I freed my hands and let them wander up to her soft breasts. Her skin was like silk and I went slow, watching her expression as I did it. I ran my hand in between them and then back down to her stomach. She wrapped her legs around me, forcing her hips to thrust into me. I pressed her harder against the wall as I covered her mouth with mine.

“I need you naked.” I said through our kisses.

With both of my hands grabbing her ass, I carried her over to the couch and tossed her down. She backed up enough to start stripping out of her clothes right in front of me. I removed my shirt and started unzipping my pants, letting them fall to the floor. Savanna removed her bra and bit down on her lips as she squeezed both of her nipples, making them hard for me. I grabbed her stretchy pants and ripped them off of her, tossing them behind us somewhere.

With one swift movement, I picked her up carried her to the bedroom. She slipped down my body and climbed into the bed, making sure that her ass was right in my face. I grabbed the back elastic of her little thong and pulled her back toward the edge of the bed. My fingers began running where the tiny fabric fell over her ass. I moved the fabric over to be able to slip my fingers inside of her folds. She groaned feeling my fingers down there in her tender spot.

With her ass in the air and her face down against the blankets, I reached my other hand over her back and then slowly grazed one of her breasts. My two fingers slipped into her wet channel, while she continued to rock back and forth against them. Seeing her so turned on was almost too much for my deprived ass to take. I pulled my fingers out of her needy body and flipped her around. With one jerk, I pulled off her panties and spread her legs wide open. Savanna moaned when I stood there looking at her perfect body. My hands were on her knees as I slid down in between her legs, taking my first taste. Her sweet musk filled my mouth and I couldn’t get enough of her. My hands spread her open more and I held onto her thighs while I began licking on her swollen nub. Savanna’s body began to buck against my face, causing me to lick even harder. She screamed out, louder than I had ever heard her do it before. Even after she fell calm against the bed, I still couldn’t stop tasting her. Little trembles came every time I moved my tongue around.

My cock was throbbing to be inside of her. It had been way too long. I crawled up over her body, making sure to give each of her hard nipples some much needed attention. I loved how hard they felt against my tongue. I teased them with my teeth, licking every inch of her pink nipples.

Savanna grabbed me by my ears and pulled me up to her mouth. The pain was nothing compared to her eagerness to kiss me. I felt her licking my lips, tasting herself while she kissed me. One of my hands found her ass cheek and squeezed it hard in between my fingers. Her lips came off of mine while she cried out in pleasure.

Her fingers drug down my back causing me pain, but also ecstasy at the same time.

I thrusted my girth all the way inside of my wife. She cried out as I filled her with my size. Her tight little walls were slick with her juices, but still tightened as I thrusted in and out of her.

Savanna took her legs and flipped herself on top of me. Her beautiful hair flowed down over her breasts. I watched her play with her nipples, shaking them with her fingertips. She didn’t know what she did to me. I needed her so much.

I grabbed her waist with both hands and grinded her into me. She ran her hand through her hair as she picked up her own pace. Her body was wet with sweat and it glistened in the natural light coming in the window. Savanna grabbed my hand and sucked hard on my wedding ring finger. She closed her eyes and thrusted her body back further, causing my girth to go in even deeper. Her ass was lifted and then coming back down against my sweaty skin. The faster she moved the closer I got. I closed my eyes and called out as I felt myself filling her.

Savanna’s hot body collapsed on top of me, showering me with kisses. As her lips pressed over mine, she pulled away to get the words out. “I. Missed. This.”

We fell asleep there on the bed, never parting from each other. It didn’t matter that it was hot, or we were sweating profusely, I wasn’t willing to let her go, not even for a second. I needed to feel her body and her love for me.

We had reconnected and I planned on doing it over and over again until we had to go home.

We both woke later and finally unloaded the car. Savanna chose to only wear my shirt I had on, while I threw on some jeans to walk outside in. Once we got our groceries and coolers put away, we had a snack and decided to sit out on the back deck to watch the sun set.

Savanna walked in the house and came out in only a pair of cowboy boots. I literally spit and my beer went flying out of my mouth and nose. She leaned against the railing showing off every inch of her body to me. “That is the hottest thing I have ever seen in my life, darlin’.”

“Do you want me, Colt?”

“Um, is that a trick question?”

“Say you want me. Tell me how you want it,” She ordered.

I licked my lips and sat up further. “I want you, darlin’.”

She turned around and ran her hands over her perfect ass. “Do you want to bend me over right here? Would that turn you on, baby?”

Oh fuck….

I stood up and walked over to where she was still bent over, rubbing her ass cheeks. I ran my hand up the small of her back. With one hand I pulled her up to stand with her back against my body. She stuck my fingers in her mouth, biting down on them. “Oh God! Don’t stop talkin’.”

I pushed her back down to a bent over position, keeping one of my hands pressed firmly against her back.  I let my jeans drop to the deck. My hard cock pressed against her ass and I almost sensed she wanted it back there. I slapped my hardness against her soaked entrance and she moaned, knowing what was coming.

“Fuck me, Colt. Fuck me so hard.”

“Oh, darlin’.” I grabbed her hips and slipped right inside of her. She grabbed the railing and held onto it while I pounded my shaft inside of her. I reached my arms up and put them over hers, using the railing for my benefit as well. My body smacked against her ass with each thrust and soon Savanna was crying out, her screams being heard all across the lake. I followed her lead and filled her for the second time. Unlike our first time, Savanna separated us immediately, kissed me full on the mouth and walked back into the cabin, without saying a word.

I stood there naked with a big ole smile across my face. This was the best idea I may have ever had.

Later that night, Savanna and I curled up next to the fireplace. She lay inside of my strong hold, stroking my arms with her fingertips. “This is nice. Thank you for bring us here, Colt.”

I kissed the top of her head. “We needed it.”

“It’s so different having a kid. I thought we would have more time for each other.”

I laughed. “Yeah, we don’t have any alone time.”

“Maybe if we didn’t hog Noah up for ourselves all the time, we would have more. Your mother always offers.”

I kissed her cheek and then pulled her head closer to kiss her lips. “Maybe she could keep him every weekend.”

We both laughed.

“Are you happy, Colt? Are you upset things changed between us? I mean, not just with Noah. With the baby we lost too.”

She turned her body to face me and I cupped my hands around her face, letting my forehead press against hers. “Darlin’, I couldn’t be more happier than I am right now, aside from havin’ another child, there is nothin’ else I could ever need. You have no idea how much I appreciate you bein’ that boy’s mother. Steppin’ up like that made me love you even more Savanna.”

It was the truth too. She didn’t even realize how amazing she was.

“When he came into our lives so suddenly, I was so unsure of myself. I think I was afraid to love another child, but I fell so in love with him. I couldn’t help it. Now, I can’t imagine not being his mother. He makes me so happy.”

Her words were beautiful and she meant every single word. She had been there when he got his first cold after he had moved in with us. I was all panicking and she instinctively knew exactly what to do. She stayed in his room with him, went out and got him a vaporizer, took him to the doctors, made sure he took his medicine right on schedule. She went into this Mom machine mode and in some ways never came out of it. Noah was always her first priority and I loved that about her.

“You make him happy. That kid lost everything and you welcomed him into our family, makin’ it so easy for him to transition. You keep the memory of his mother alive and have never been negative towards the whole situation. Do you have any idea how amazin’ you are?”

She shrugged. “It never hurts to hear it over and over again,” she teased.

“Well if I need to remind you every single day, I will.”

She wrapped both of her legs over top of mine, almost straddling me. Her head went into my chest. “What happens if we can’t get pregnant again? What if I can’t give you another child?”

“I have to believe that God won’t do that to us. Darlin’, you have been through so much hardship. You have proven to be an amazin’ mother. We will have another baby. It may take a while, but I’m never goin’ to go anywhere. If it doesn’t happen than we will spoil the hell out of our son and be the best parents to him that we can be. Don’t even get yourself worried about that.”
