Chapter Sixteen- Penny's POV

2 years later

Alex and I had spent two years engaged, not rushing to get married at all and honestly just be with Addie. We didn't want a big wedding, neither of us are exactly social butterflies besides our close friends, our wedding didn't even hit one hundred people, but we preferred it that way.

Like I had said all those years back when I was pregnant with Addie, we had a twilight-themed wedding, like in the forest, it was beautiful. Addie and Alex's niece were our flower girls while his nephew was ring boy. The venue had provided a small reception area for us.

One of the other reasons why we didn't want a big wedding was because we were building a house in a new neighborhood. And that costed a shit ton.

"Mommy!" A voice exclaims, I turn away from Alex's grandma and smile as Addie comes running up to me. Her brown hair flying around her. I smile and pick her up, placing her on my hip.

Addie's first word was pickles, yes pickles. Alex and I couldn't hold in our laughter. It was no shock that those were her first words.

Mrs. Phillips excuses herself and I smile and nod, turning on my bare feet I look around for my husband and find him sitting at one of the guest tables talking to his unit chief and his wife.

Alex had gone out on a mission almost a month ago in Philadelphia and to make my nightmares come true he was stabbed during the mission and needed surgery. I had rushed up with Addie to be there when he had woken up and ever since he was taking it very easy, so he currently wasn't on the dance floor with the rest of the guests and his team.

I walk towards Alex, almost tripping on my dress, I had taken off my heels earlier and now the dress flowed even longer. Alex glances up and does a double-take, I guess not realizing it was me approaching him.

My husband smiles and stands slowly, I immediately gravitate towards his side. William and his wife, once again congratulate us before politely excusing themselves.

Addie wiggles in my arms and I lower her to the ground, watching her run away and indulge in some mischief with the rest of the kids present. I wrap both my arms around Alex as his one arm tightens around me.

"Hi, wife," he says and I look up at him with a smile.

"Hi, husband," I muse. He wasn't looking down at me but around us with a smile.

"Wanna step out?" He asks and I nod immediately. Again, Alex and I weren't really social butterflies. Sure Alex loved to talk to whomever but he did enjoy his privacy a lot. Alex was quick to sweep me away from the party and we begin to walk down the green hill.

He pulls my hand back and spins me around, holding onto my hip and the other slides into my hand, "have you ever danced under the moonlight?" He asks me as he begins to sway us.

"No," I chuckle, "I've danced in the rain," I tease tiling my head and he smiles. He slowly lifts me off the ground and onto his shoes. Yea we danced in the rain once, to James Bay's Us, the acoustic version, it was also our first dance song.

"I'm so very lucky to call you my wife," he mumbles nudging his forehead with mine.

"I'm so lucky to call you my husband," I smile letting go of his hand and wrapping my arms around his waist. His hands slide down to my butt, resting there, he spins us around and I smile.

"I wish I could just sweep you away and take you home but I won't be rude to our guests and for the sake of being romantic I'll hold my dick," he says and I laugh.

Our honeymoon wasn't exactly a honeymoon, we didn't want to go far just because of Addie but Stephanie, Alex's sister had immediately volunteered to take Addie in for the weekend. All I knew was Alex was taking me to our new home, it was fully built and for the most part, finished but completely empty and we all know he loves to christen things the right way.

I lean up, our noses touching "I'll have you know I want you to take off my dress and slide into me, but," I begin pulling away, "I'll be romantic too," I smile and he shakes his head.

"You are a tease,"

"A tease that you love," I point out.

"Damn fucking straight," he nods and closes the space between us, kissing me. I hum against him as his hands tighten around my ass. "I don't suppose you'd be up to the idea of a quickie?" He jokes and I pull away shaking my head.

"Hey!" A voice yells. I turn around and look up the small hill, "come join your guests!" Savannah yells.

I sigh, "if I had a dollar every time she cock blocked me, I'd be rich," Alex grumbles and I smile. My husband crouches down and picks me up bridal style before walking up the hill. As we enter the venue again he sets me on my feet.

For the rest of the night, he never let me leave my side, we danced and drank the night away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I watch Alex's eyes as they follow his finger that was slowly trailing around my necklace and around my boobs.

When we got to our new house, Alex had set up our queen size mattress in front of our new fireplace in the living room and that's where we've been since we left last night, it was still dark so I'm not sure what time it is, but then again, it was almost Fall.

I reach up and weave my fingers through his chestnut hair, "I don't think I'll ever get tired of you," He sighs. I stifle a laugh.

"You mean my body, don't you?"

He smiles, "no I mean you. But your body is one of the big plus signs," he says placing his hand on my flat stomach and pulling me closer to his naked body.

"I love you," I tell him nudging my nose with his.

"I love you too," he replies with a smile as I lean forward and kiss him. My hands skim over his defined abs and I reach the forever scar he'll have between his pecs where he was stabbed. Alex pulls away and shivers as I skim it slowly.

"I can feel the difference," I murmur softly once we've pulled away. I remember after his surgery and he was cleared, the night we got home he told me I wouldn't feel the difference, but I do.

Alex lets out a soft sigh before tilting my head down and kissing my forehead. I shut my eyes as I feel tears slowly build up, "I'll always come home to you Pens, don't worry," he mumbles against my forehead again before tilting my head up and I reopen my eyes.

"I know," I nod clutching his hand, "but god don't do that again, that was scary," I scold him and he chuckles and nods, he hooks my leg around his hip before kissing me.

I slowly lift myself up so I'm on top of him, we both let out pleasurable moans as I grind against him. Alex grips my hip tightly before releasing it, I feel him move his shaft into me slowly and I gasp against his lips, he smirks. I slowly lift myself up, moaning as he fills me deeply.

"God I swear you get tighter every damn time," He groans, eyes shut in pleasure.

I place my hands on his chest and his grip on my hips tightens as I begin to move, he begins to move his hips against mine "Xander," I moan quietly.

"Oh god baby you feel so good," He sighs.

I smile as I throw my head back and move faster. My husband didn't lack when it came to his packaging, he always used to joke with me when we first met and were hardly who we are now but now I know that he was telling the truth.

Alex's hands move away from my hips, one slipping between us, moving in circular motions, and the other on my ass, helping me move back and forth.

The empty house was soon filled with our loud moans and squeals. Alex leans up and presses our bodies against each other, he begins to pleasure my boobs as I bounce up and down. I weave my fingers into his hair throwing my head back moaning.

"Come for me baby," Alex whispers against my skin, "come on," he grunts as I tighten around him.

"I-I I'm c-coming," I moan out as my climax fills me and I fall limp against my husband. He slowly moved his hips riding out of my high. I let out a loud sigh as I lay my head on his head.

Alex was quick to flip us over and I giggle, like a fucking school girl. Brushing my hair off my face, Alex smiles down at me as he slowly moves again.

"I love you," I sigh, he lowers his body to mine and kisses me.

"I love you too," he tells me.

Our wedding night couldn't have been more perfect, spending the night and most of the morning making love endlessly and talking. I was completely in love with him and it hurt sometimes. It actually physically hurt because we could never be without each other and I had no worries that our love would fizzle down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once we were done, Alex quickly ran out to grab the to-go bag from his car and we showered off, we were completely sore and spent. We quickly cleaned up and I packed the car with what could fit, careful not to wrinkle my wedding dress.

We walk hand in hand to the small diner, we had a few final kitchen appointments for the design today. I know who'd want to spend my honeymoon doing this but as long as I was with Alex I didn't care where or what my honeymoon consisted of.

"Do you remember this is the diner you took me here when I was craving a burger with pickles?" I ask Alex and he chuckles at the memory.

"It was the first week we found out you were pregnant," he nods playing with the packets of sugar in front of us. I hum placing my phone down after checking if Stephanie had texted me about Addie, she hadn't, I just couldn't help but miss my little girl.

"You know what I caught Addie doing the other day?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow. Our daughter was known for being quite the mischief, her hand was often caught in the cookie jaw by us.

"Scaling the fridge for pickles," My husband chuckles.

"She was climbing the fridge?" My jaw drops and he laughs.

"Xander! She could've hurt herself!" I scold and he shakes his head laughing.

"She was fine," he waves me off and I roll my eyes. Alex was always letting her off with things, she definitely had him wrapped around her finger. A waitress came towards us and took our orders.

"Okay so, we have to pick out the tiling for the kitchen and downstairs bathroom," I begin.

"Couch," Alex points out and I nod.

"Decorating a house is so fucking hard," I mumble and he smiles.

"I bet you didn't expect marrying me and building a house huh?" He raises an eyebrow and I roll my eyes.

"Boy did I ever," I tease him with a smile. As our food was placed in front of us I check my phone again.

"Pens," Alex whines and I chuckle.

"Okay sorry, I just miss her, sue me," I shrug sliding my phone across to him.

"Yea not gonna lie, I FaceTimed Steph while you were showering," he smiles. I gasp and reach over grabbing my phone back.

"You can't scold me for missing her when you FaceTimed them!" I exclaim.

"I knew you were missing her so I told Steph we'd pick her up before we went to our house appointments," he confesses and I smile.

"I knew I had a baby and married you for a reason,"

"Yea I know," He nods sipping on his beer.

Steph and the kids were outside playing while we pulled up and I was quick to slide out and capture a running Addie in my arms. I smile and stand up as she wraps her legs around me. Alex places a kiss on her head before greeting his niece and nephew. We talked a bit with Stephanie before taking our leave and heading to our appointments.

The whole time I picked out tiles and bathroom Alex and Addie were off goofing around. The two were twins sometimes, Addie brought out the kid in Alex, especially when he would come home cold and all in his FBI mode.

"Where did you two end up?" I ask coming up to my husband and daughter. Addie had her arms wrapped around his neck as he held her on his hip. I quickly glance over my husband, his jeans, collared button-down, and the thin cotton long sleeve was one of his go-to outfits, and god he always looked hot.

Also what was it about hot guys instantly becoming hotter while holding a child, I'd seriously like to know because I've caught myself starring at Alex while he held Addie.

"Lollipop!" Addie exclaims pulling out the lollipop of her mouth. I chuckle and kiss her cheek. I eye Alex and he winks at me.

"everything good, pretty?" He asks and I nod. We had picked out a couch before picking out tiles. "Wanna head home?" He asks and I nod immediately just wanting to be with my husband and daughter.

Before we got home we bought some take-out, choosing Chinese and being the crazy people we are, ate it in bed with a movie on, Frozen 2 was currently on but Addie was fast asleep sprawled out across our laps.

I smile as I run my fingers lightly through her hair, her head was on my lap. I was leaning back into Alex's chest. I feel him kiss my cheek gently and I glance up at him "good honeymoon?" He asks.

I chuckle softly and nod, "the best, not as I've ever had one but I couldn't imagine my honeymoon anywhere else," I muse.

I watch him as his glance around the queen-size bed and nod, "I agree, there's no place I'd rather be but right here," he says softly tipping my chin up more and placing his hand on my neck, his wedding ring cold on my skin.

"Thank you for choosing me," He mumbles and I smile at him. I remember a bit after the whole stalking thing he had confessed how he never thought he'd have a kid and much less be engaged because being in the FBI was hard, period and that meant being hard in a romantic way. I assured him it was he and I for the rest of our lives.

"You kinda chose me, unconsciously," I say and he smiles rolling his eyes.

"Yea I get it, my dick talks for me most of the time," he grumbles, I laugh lightly and lean up kissing his jaw.

"Maybe if you flirted your way a few more I still probably would've chosen you," I tell him. He smirks.

"I'm a lucky guy," he says and kisses me before I turn back to the flat screen on the wall across us.

We may not have gone to some tropical destination for a honeymoon but I'd take my husband and daughter over any tropical destination, as long as I've got my family, I don't need anything or anyone else.
