Rex and Mimi both turned shades of red. “So um how long have you been standing there?” Mimi asked the blonde who stood with her arms crossed and a tiny smirk on her face.
“Sorry, if I interrupted anything. I just thought I would take the twins up to their room for a nap. Oh and Rex, wipe the lipstick off, that color just doesn’t do anything for you.” She went over and picked up Beth. “Ok Bethie, Auntie Belle is gonna take you upstairs for a nap while mommy and daddy get reacquainted.”
“Thanks Belle.” Rex kissed his daughter’s cheek. “Night night princess. Daddy loves you.”
Belle smiled and headed up the stairs. “I’ll be back in a sec for Tony.”
Once Belle had disappeared Mimi broke into the giggles. “I can’t believe that happened.”
“Well it wasn’t the first time and knowing my sister, it won’t be the last.” He wrapped an arm around her waist. “Now let’s do as Belle said and get reacquainted.” He leaned in and kissed her again. The warmth from his lips made a surge go through Mimi. It was as though pure electricity was running through her.
Belle laughed as she came back downstairs for Tony. “Rex, when I said get reacquainted I meant after I had taken both of the twins to bed and had gone into another room.”
Rex sighed. “Let me see my favorite guy before you take him off to bed.” He took Tony from Belle. “Ok Anthony, be good, go to sleep and don’t keep your sister up. Ok little man?” The baby gurgled a response and Rex smiled. “I’m glad we understand each other. Night night buddy.” He kissed the baby’s forehead and handed him off to Belle.
Mimi wrapped her arms around his neck. “Rex I think we should talk.”
He nodded. “Yea that’s probably a good idea.” He took her hand and led her to the couch.
“How are we going to make this work? I mean I know you wanna see the kids but we can’t risk Jennifer finding out. We have to find a way for you to get around her without making her suspicious.”
“I’ll use the going to mom’s house as much as I can but it took everything I had to convince her that she needed to stay home today.”
Mimi bit her lip and tried to think of possible solutions to their problem. “Well I guess we just have to take it day by day.”
“Meems there’s something else we need to figure out. What’s going on with us?”
She saw the hope glimmering in his eyes. She knew the answer to this question. A part of her had always known. “Haven’t you heard?” She whispered softly. “We’re going to live happily ever after.”
Rex reached out and caressed her face with his palm. He then tenderly kissed her lips, pulled back and stared at her.
As Belle came down the stairs twenty minutes later that’s how she found them. Oblivious to the world around them. Just staring into each other’s eyes and daydreaming of the life they would share together. She quietly slipped out of the room, back into the kitchen and gave everyone a thumbs up that told them their plan had worked. John took out a bottle of champagne and they all silently toasted the couple, hoping that nothing and no one would stand in their way. All silently worried of the one person who might ruin it all.
