Here's the last chapter in Matt and Staci's story. I hope you've enjoyed it all. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
*#*#*#*#*#*
Matt sat behind his desk, in his home office, wondering why he was working so hard when he could be sneaking off with his wife and getting in some nookie. But, then again, the deadline on his project was looming and he wanted to be able to spend some real quality time with his woman. The thought of spending the upcoming weekend unhindered made Matt bunker down and focus, despite the fact that his manhood was starting to press against his pants.
He missed the days when he worked for his dad and was able to take off when he wanted. But, he did love his current job and wouldn't leave it for the world. Besides, he needed to provide for his family and being disowned by his father after he married his Ana made him feel the need to work to provide for their future more acutely. Sure he had money put away, he had been saving since the day he met his Ana, but he wanted to make sure that they would want for nothing in the future. His concentration was once again broken by the knock on his door.
"Come in," he called out.
He smiled as his Ana's beautiful face came into view. It had been years, but he would never tire of watching her walk into a room, especially when she was accompanied by his two favorite people in the world, well, next to her.
"Daddy!"
"Dada! Dada!"
He grinned at his babies. He held open his arms and his kids ran into them. He hugged them to his chest and placed a kiss on each of their cheeks. His little Annabelle Marie was four now and turning into a little lady. She loved going to pre-school and coming home to share what she learned. Her curly brown hair fell down her back and when she looked up at him, he saw his Ana, from her almond shaped, light brown eyes that lit up when she was happy or excited, to her bright smile. She even had her mother's pout. Her complexion reminded him of a little cinnamon sugar cookie.
"Hey, Bells, how's my baby?"
He grinned. There was that pout that he had grown to love. "Daddy, I'm not a baby. I'm a big girl. I go to school," Anabelle stated, her arms now crossed against her chest.
"I'm sorry, honey. I meant, how's my princess?"
"I'm good, Daddy. I'm going to go play with Jessica."
Matt nodded and looked up at his beautiful wife. "Play date today?"
"Yep. We're going to the park for a bit and then I think we're supposed to get ice cream."
"Ice cream!" Matthias chimed in.
Matt looked back down to the giggling two year-old that was currently trying to climb into his lap. He lifted him up and sat him on his knee. Big blue eyes, the color of water in the Mediterranean, looked up at him and Matt felt his heart clench. God, he loved his kids.
When he looked at his little Matthias Alexander, he saw Rosenbloom all over his face, which was one of the reasons why they had chosen to name him after Matt's brothers, Matthias and Maximus. Maximus went by his first middle name, Alexander, because he despised his actual first name, and Matt couldn't blame him.
"Ice cream? You're eating ice cream without me, Matty?" Matt asked, feigning hurt.
Matthias tilted his head to the side, as if he was deep in thought. Then he smiled. "You come too, Dada?"
Matt ruffled the sandy brown curls that sat atop his son's head. "No, Matty. Dada has to finish his work. But, we'll play trains when you get back okay?"
"'Kay Dada. We play."
Staci walked over and picked Matthias up off Matt's lap. She settled him onto her hip and leaned down to steal a kiss from her husband. He had been working hard the past couple of days and she looked forward to the weekend. Her parents were going to pick up the kids so they could get a little alone time to themselves. She noticed the look in Matt's eyes and knew he was just bursting at the seams to say something lewd to her. Too bad the kids were in the room, because she wanted to say something right back.
Matt sighed. "So who's going to be there today?"
"Just me, Maia and Lexi today. Ted and Jesse have got a date with a couch and a football game."
Matt grimaced. "I forgot about that. If I was a little further along, I'd be right there with them. Damn."
Staci smiled. "Well, get your work done. This weekend, the kids are going to visit their grandparents and I don't want your attention wandering."
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that, angel. My attention...as well as other things will be all yours. We'll see what kind of trouble we can stir up this weekend." Matt winked at his wife.
"Say bye to Daddy. We'll see him later."
"Bye, Daddy!"
"Bye, Princess."
"Bye, Dada."
"Goodbye, Matthias."
He gave his babies one more kiss on the foreheads and watched as his wife left with them to go to their play date. Maia and Lexi both had two kids each. Maia and Jesse's first born, Zavien, had just turned 5, and their little girl, Jessica, was only a few weeks older than Matthias. Lexi and Ted were lucky enough to have twins, William and Walker, who were three. They weren't identical, but they both looked almost exactly like their father. Kathy had one little girl with Quincy, named Bethany, who was 4 years old. Kathy and Quincy had since broken up, but Q was a dedicated father and it was most likely his turn to have their daughter.
Matt sighed, wishing that he was hanging out with his friends watching the game, or better yet, fucking his wife on the island in the kitchen of their house. The weekend couldn't come fast enough. Maybe he could talk his Ana into wanting to be pregnant again and they could spend the entire weekend trying to make more babies.
Matt realized that he was daydreaming instead of working and turned back to his computer. He had immersed himself in his work once again, when the phone rang.
"Hello, Rosenbloom residence."
"Matthew, is that you?"
"Hey, mom, what's up?"
As much as he wanted to work, Matt always made time for his mother, especially since he knew she was breaking his father's 'no contact' rule to speak to him. Kay Rosenbloom had laughed in her husband's face when he demanded that she stop talking to Matthew. She even swallowed her own dislike for interracial marriages and came to their nuptials, stating that she was going to be a part of her son's big day, whether her husband approved or not. She fell in love with Staci over time and adored her grandchildren, even coming to the hospital to see them after they were born. Staci always made sure to send pictures of the kids to his mom and invited her to dinner often. Matt knew that she was still trying to convince his father to come around, but he doubted the day would ever come.
