Adamant(Book 1)

Story was fast forwarded by a bit. Giselle and Riley are at the 7 month mark in their marriage. (November)

Riley POV

After 3 weeks in the hospital I was allowed back home with my wounds properly healed up. Giselle is still my wife and she doesn't want a divorce. She never did but people say and do dumb things when their scared or angry. I don't want to be angry about it. She was almost raped when that bastard ripped off her clothes and touched her like that. She needs me right now. Only this time...I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here for her no matter what.

In the mean time, Darren cancelled the remainder of the tour. While many fans weren't happy about it, they understood getting stabbed takes time to recover from. We spent October setting up the house in San Diego. Finally after a month, the house is ready to go.

I'm now gonna lock down my family. I'm not going to lose them. Ever. I don't care what tries to separate us but I refuse to accept that my wife will leave me. Same with Benny.

The two of them are stuck with me for life.

I went up to Benny's bedroom and peeked in to see what he was up to. He was playing with a pair of action figures when he should be asleep.

"What are you up to youngster?" I asked him.

He let out a gasp and shut his eyes tight to make it seem like he was sleeping. He also tossed the action figures aside and burrowed into his pillows.

I walked over to him and kissed the side of his head. "It's okay bud, I'm not mad."

He peered at me cautiously and smiled. "Sorry daddy."

I laughed at how cute he was. I scooped him out of bed and carried him downstairs where Giselle was watching television. She looked up at the two of us and smiled. "Why aren't you in bed Benny? Not sleepy?" she asked him. He shook his head.

I went to the pantry and got out a spoonful of sugar for him. I was gonna burn out the excess energy, Giselle looked at me apprehensively."Riles...are you sure that's a good idea? He's gonna be off the walls for a while."

I shrugged "If it makes you feel better, I'll deal with him. Before and after the crash."

She shrugged. "Okay...your problem."

I gave Ben the sugar.

AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!

For 45 agonizing minutes I chased our son all over the house. Giselle sat there, ignoring us as I ran after a giggling and revved up Benny. Finally he slowed down and curled up on the couch and dozed off. I scooped him up and carried him back to his bedroom. I tucked his bear in next to him and kissed the side of his head. I looked at the door and saw Giselle standing there smiling at us. She made her way over and kissed Benny's cheek.

She reached over and took my hand. We stood there watching our baby sleep. Hopefully he's the first of many. I want 3 more kids...and maybe 1 surprise baby! Yeah. That sounds good.

I looked at Giselle. I kiss her on the side of her head. She smiles and snuggles into me. I lead her to our bedroom.

she changes into a nightie while I strip down to my boxers. I watch as she brushes her hair. Good God...she's perfect. She turns to see me staring at her. She looks away with a blush on her cheeks. I smile at the beauty in front of me and I scoop her up and I lay her down on our bed.

"I love you." she whispered

"I love you more." I smugly replied.
