New Beginnings (Mai and Cam)

[Cham]

Gia cuddled up in Isaacs chest, kissing softly on his neck. Swirling patterns into his skin. But when he jumped, so did she. Laughing when she realized what it was. With both of her hands, she brought his face to look at her. "Isaac. Listen, we will get better ok? We are..." She choked a little on her words, biting down on her tongue as the memories stung her. "We are safe for now. I promise... When the time comes that we need them, I will remind you. But please... Dont worry about it. Ill talk to your mom about... Other ways..."

She blushed hard, not wanting to talk about birth control with Isaac. It felt, ironically, a little too intimate. Biting her lip, she looked back up at him "So that way WE" Stressing the importance that it wasnt his fault alone "Will be safer."

[Lotus]

Isaac looked into her eyes and sighed. "I still broke the promise." He looked away, but knew he'd have to listen to her at some point. After all, she always spoke sense where was he was usually a mess; even if he had graduated as top of the class.

He realised how silent it was. "I ruined the mood." He didn't need to ask it as a question. He already knew he had. He smiled softly and placed a light kiss on her bruised lips. "I guess it's time to finally get dressed and clean the house up. I think mum could potentially have a fit at the state it's in." He smiled softly to try and show her he was going to be okay with forgetting this once. He understood why it was okay, not that he wanted to think about those memories. In truth they terrified him, they hurt him and they made him worry about when they finally were going to have kids.

[Cham]

"Isaac dont be melodramatic" Gia whispered to him. kissing him softly "You didnt ruin anything. im still totally, completely madly in love with you"

Giggling when he went to stand. "Your mother would have a right conniption if she saw any of this" Squeezing his hand tenderly, and pulling on the clothes that she had worn earlier for mere seconds. Smiling at the fact that they were scattered.

"Well we are two hormone driven teenagers arnt we?" Gia laughed and walked out of the room. Throwing Isaac a sultry look "Come find me when your ready darling" Then giggling, and blowing him a kiss.

She bounded down the stairs, and into the kitchen. Wow, she had been having problems. The usually impeccably tidy kitchen was messy, a pan on the stove, a sodden counter dripping with juice. Hell, even the knife placed INSIDE the sink. That was for sure a hazard. Tenderly, she began, soaking the pan, wiping down counters, and washing the dishes.

[Lotus]

Isaac quickly slipped back into his low hanging jeans and fumbled around for a shirt. Once he was dressed her walked over to the bed and stripped the sheets off; they needed to be cleaned. He chuckled to himself as he thought of what had happened on this bed. All those wild times with her, but his favourite were those times when they'd properly made love. It had been slow and different, and bloody hell was it just as fantastic. Yes, he was a hopeless romantic.

He placed the sheets in the linen basket and re-made the bed, stepping back to see anything out of place. He spotted the box and decided to slip it in his bedside drawer. Now it was time to face the bathroom. He turned and headed in that direction. It wasn't as bad as he had expected so he just cleared up the dessert they were meant to have had at the dining table before walking down the stairs into the kitchen.

[Cham]

Gia was just drying the pan once she heard Isaac coming down the stairs. The table had been cleared, food put away, and the entire area swept.

She placed the pan in its spot, and moved to isaac, kissing him gently "We do a good job cleaning..." Without thinking she added "We could have our own place and everything" Giggling, then frowning a little, for the first time really thinking about it. "But thats a little farther in the future methinks"

Biting her lower lip, and putting up a smile. She really needed to think before she spoke...

[Lotus]

He placed the half eaten dessert in the fridge before standing up and being attacked by Gia in a kiss. His arms wound around her waist as he kissed her back, smiling at her words. "Methinks it is too, but when I decide which offer I'm going to take I can start saving up for us. Then it could be closer than we think." He grinned and kissed her nose, taking a step back.

"Now, I think everything's cleaned up. I don't remember us being anywhere else in the house." He grinned cheekily and winked.

[Cham]

Gia smiled and ran her nose along his. "You are so sweet. But i want to contribute. My babysitting, remember?" She asked softly with a grin "Im being asked for again. And this will help. One of the ladies just found out shes pregnant, so I can learn ya know... What to expect..."

Taking his hand, but poking him lightly in the stomach "No i dont think we were... but we could be... Or we could go for a picnic? How does that sound? I could call Rylee and Danielle. See if they could come too?"

[Lotus]

He cocked his head to the side and smiled. "You can contribute it I let you." His smile turned into a smirk as he leant down to kiss her on the cheek. His eyes and features turned softer at her words. "See, kids obviously love you. So you have very little to learn." He placed a soft kiss on her cheek and squeezed her waist slightly in comfort.

Isaac pulled away and said, "I'm kinda exhausted after trying to keep up with your feisty side." He smirked and wandered away from her a little it. "But a picnic sounds excellent! I'll call the guys and we can make a day of it?"

(OOC: I might make Isaac bump into his stuck up sister on their outing?)

[Cham]

Gia raised her eyebrows, "Excuse you darling. We are a team. We work together. And not just in your bedroom" She whispered with a small smile and a giggle, trying to lighten the mood. "I will contribute what i can, and we will do this together, and only some kids love me."

Leaning up she kissed him tenderly. "Ill go pack. Ask them to meet us in 2ish hours by the school?" Moving out of his arms, and back into the kitchen. She felt like she was in her element here. Finally knowing where everything was, Gia and Mum had compromised with the placement of certain things, mostly for ease of use.

Pulling out a loaf of bread, she sliced it carefully, and bagged different meats so everyone could make their own...

[Lotus]

Isaac shrugged his shoulders. It felt like he had a duty to provide for Gia even if she wanted to chip in. He wanted to be the one to find them a house and surprise her with it. He wanted her to really know that she would forever be safe, wanted, loved and always have a home. "I'll give them a call. Don't forget to call the girls, or you could feel a little outnumbered with us manly guys around." He winked and walked out into the hall to the phone.

He dialled Wes's number first and grinned when he picked up straight away. "Hey mate. Alright? Gia wants to do a group picnic somewhere? Sound good? ... Alright then. So meet by the school in about two hours and we'll be there." He put the phone down and dialled Max's number to go through the same process.

[Cham]

Gia waited until Isaac had made his calls, then skipped out of the kitchen towards him, skidding to a stop in front of him, and wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him quickly, and passionately before releasing, the only evidence on her body was her slightly laboured breath. Reaching for the phone and calling up Danielle, after a few shirt rings, she answered and they started gabbing. Gia glanced at the slightly confused looking Isaac with a grin, biting her lower lip and concentrating on the conversation.

[Lotus]

Isaac decided he wanted to have fun and make this hard for Gia. He grinned mischievously and walked around the back of her. Without touching any other part of her body he kiss her bare neck and then gently placed his hands on his hips, slowly moving closer towards her with every kiss he placed on her neck.

Slowly, his body was pressed against hers and he could hear her struggling to keep up with the conversation. He chuckled and kissed her cheek before moving away from her and leaning against the wall casually. He wanted her every move and she still managed to fascinate him. There was so much love in his eyes and he didn't really know what to do with all of it.

[Cham]

Gia watched Isaac warily, closing her eyes and trying to continue on, but he made that impossible. The one thing that he knew guaranteed to start her up was kissing her neck. And here he was, revving her engine!

Isaac slowly backed up, and she leaned forward, her hand on the small table that held the phone. Supporting herself as the heated blood rushed in her veins. Glancing back and seeing her Fiancee standing looking so smug with himself, but the smirk didnt reach his eyes. Those were gentle and calming. Wrapping up her conversation, and hanging up.

Pointing a finger at Isaac "You sir are evil. Using your evil ways to toy with me" Gia stuck her tongue out at him, and dialed Rylee's number. Staring down Isaac, and watching his every move now.

[Lotus]

Isaac put his hands up in protest. "I do not have evil ways. I just know how to tease." He grinned and couldn't help it when his eyes were drawn back to the ring on her finger. "Besides, having a fiancée that knows how to tease is better than me being boring right?" He saw the nod and his grin widened.

When she rang Rylee he moved back behind her. This time though he just rested his chin on her shoulder and breathed softly, swaying from side to side slightly. One had stayed wrapped around her waist, while the other moved down her left arm to stroke the ring around her finger.

[Cham]

Gia once again closed her eyes, making this call shorter, and more to the point. Which was not like her at all. Rylee seemed curious, but when Gia brushed it off, she didnt ask questions, figuring Isaac had something to do with it.

Holding Isaac's hand when she hung up, turning swiftly, and looking him straight in the eye whispering Dance with me?" Leaning into his body and swaying softly, she whisper hummed a soft tuned, her cheek against his. Eyelashes brushing against his ear. She murmured tenderly "I love you..."

[Lotus]

Isaac chuckled softly and kissed her cheek as they swayed softly to the melody she hummed. It was beautiful to listen to and the words in his ears were even more so. "I love you too..." He whispered back, wrapping his arms around her waist once more and stopping swaying. "More than I can probably ever show."

He leant his head down and rested his forehead on her shoulder, his warm breath making her shiver as it touched her neck. He smiled softly and pulled away. "So, what do we need to do for out picnic?"

[Cham]

Gia nuzzled his neck tenderly, and felt his lips on her own. "You show me in everything you do my darling" He pulled back, put she pulled him close again. Interlocking her fingers with his. Biting her lower lip, and leaning her forehead against his. Whispering "We have an hour before we need to leave. Change if you want to, im going to finish packing..."

[Lotus]

Isaac sighed softly and smiled, kissing her nose as he rested his forehead with hers. "Anything you specifically want me to wear? Don't say nothing." He grinned, his cheeky side showing through again. He looked into her eyes and saw the glint she had in them which made him chuckle heartily.

"Anything I can help with in the kitchen?"

[Cham]

Gia giggled and her cheeks flamed red. How could he have read her thoughts when they were barely in her own head as it was! Haha... Barely...

Snickering, Gia wrapped her arms around his neck "Whatever you would like. Just nothing of mine. Cause that's kind of weird" Kissing him softly, she moved away, "I think im good, I jsut need to put everything into a basket. If you could grab a blanket large enough for all of us, and three single ones, you would be my hero"

She smiled as she left the room, hugging herself tightly.

[Lotus]

Isaac chuckled and raced upstairs. He slipped into something a little smarted; dark, denim jeans and a checker shirt. He checked himself in the mirror and shrugged, better than before. He wandered to the linen closest and pulled out their largest blanket plus three of their smaller ones. He hadn't even known they'd had most of these.

He wandered back downstairs with the blankets tucked under his arm. He dropped them by the basket that was now fully packed by the door of the kitchen. He walked over to Gia and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What you up to baby?" He whispered in her ear.

[Cham]

Gia immediatly sank into his body, signing the bottom of the page she was writing on with a flourish. "Just telling your mum where we went, and thinking her for everything." She turned and kissed his cheek "You know, we really should do something for her, just to thank her for all shes gone through. I dont think anyone gives her as much credit as she deserves. Think about everything shes gone through with your father"

Swallowing and speaking softly, Gia knew she was treading on thin ice bringing up Mr. Waterman. He was always a dangerous topic. Seeing the anger flush through Isaac's eyes. After a second, an idea popped into her head "I think ive got something, but we will need to distract her for a few hours, some chocolate, some strawberries, and a cake..."

[Lotus]

Isaac smiled softly at the kindness only Gia could show towards anyone. He kissed her nose but then anger shot through him at the mention of his father. He gripped his hands in fists and tried to calm himself down. "You're. Right." He closed his eyes and breathed easy.

"I'll try and distract her. I haven't been a great son to her so I'll try take her someone nice and you can organise something for her. You seem to have a better idea of what my mum likes than I do anyway..." He trailed off and looked away from Gia. "So, what's in the picnic?" He'd do anything to change the subject. He knew he was a useless son. His father made that clear and he hadn't tried as much as he could with his mum.

[Cham]

Gia looked appalled. Turning in his arms, and taking his head in her hands, forcing him to look at her "You listen to me Isaac Zachary Waterman, and you listen good." Her eyes were serious, a no nonsence look in them. "You are a wonderful man. Understood? You and her have both messed up. She has been trying to protect you, and i wont say she has always done a good job. Neither have you at showing appreciation. But you never understood what she was doing behind closed doors. Thats where she calmed your father down. You are a GOOD MAN. She is a good woman. You are both such incredibly strong people, and i love you both dearly. Now dont even start saying you failed anyone in anyway. Because you havent."

The frustration flooded out along with her words, and she pulled him close to her. Her head tucked into his chest. "Sandwiches, your moms macaroni salad, and some vegetables." She whispered in response to the contents of the picnic.

[Lotus]

Isaac shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever you say Gia." He wrapped his arms around her nonetheless and kissed the top of her head. "Sounds good to me. Everyone will love it." He smiled at the though of what the day ahead held for them.

He pulled away and wandered to his favourite cupboard. He pulled out a box of mixed chocolates before walking over to the picnic basket and placing them in. "As a treat." He grinned, despite how he was feeling. "I've got to use the bathroom. Been two ticks." Then he walked from the bathroom, angry at himself once more.

[Cham]

Gia shook her head at herself softly, knowing if she ate any chocolate, she would devour the box whole. So she rearranged everything, and somehow fit it all in except for the blankets.

Checking the clock, she waited for a moment, then made her way up the stairs, putting on a cream tanktop with wide shoulders, and dark wash jeans. A silver belt across her hips pulled it all together. As an after thought, she shrugged into one of Isaacs jackets. Just in case.

With a smile she made her way back down the steps. Feeling beautiful and elegant, but casual enough to sit on the grass. She really did feel like she fit in for once. Grabbing the basket, ad setting it along with the blankets by the front door.
