Adult story: The Ten of Them – Chapter 11

by Hard93

Dawn’s early morning light fills our room, I awake to a totally different life today, yesterday it was just Kathryn and I. It’s still too early to know for sure if she’s pregnant but I believe so. We rushed the process of becoming parents by taking in Sam. Just after a few hours, not a full day yet, and I can’t see my life without Sam in it. Kathryn and I both fell in love with the young girl the second she asks if Kathryn could be her Mommy. Kathryn sleeping is in her usual spot, cuddled next to me her head resting on my shoulder. The one thing different is Sam went to sleep on my other shoulder and now I wake to find her on my chest. Sam in the night moved near enough to cuddle to Kathryn.

I know I’m trying to deal with the death of Nicole. To me she was just a person who used my home in a disrespectful manner. A thief and a prostitute who trespassed in my home, but she’s so much more now, she was Sam’s aunt. I’ll see that she has a proper funeral. Lester her boyfriend, stole the remainder of her life in any opportunity to correct the wrongs she had done.

In a way Nicole’s death did benefit me, as Sam’s last living relative it cleared away any obstacle to adopting Sam. I know I’ve already fallen in love with Sam being our daughter. She seems to be a little Angel, bright and intelligent, loving and friendly. She won the hearts of our family so quickly with her innocent charm. I feel so lucky to have her in my life, our lives. I also feel guilty because Nicole’s death, something that should never had occurred benefits me so greatly.

When they chose to come here, I knew they had no idea the changes that were going to follow. That their actions would lead to one of their deaths, and the other facing justice. That It would place Sam into our lives. If you believe it wasn’t just coincidence, then why wasn’t Sam part of our premonition? Were the actions of Lester and Nicole under their free will, or something bigger pushing them to this end? I have no idea how or why, and frankly I don’t have the desire to spend the time to find out. I’m just going to enjoy the result that places this Angel in my life, now currently sleeping on my chest.

Kathryn begins to stir; the room has brightened quite a lot in the few minutes since I have awakened. Kathryn really doesn’t move but I feel her smile and realize she’s looking into the face of our daughter. My hand gently strokes Kathryn’s back and I feel her move to look at my face I turned to Kathryn with a bright smile I whisper, “Good morning my Love.”

Kathryn moves to kiss me. As we kiss Sam takes a deep breath and I feel her raise her head and we hear her giggles. We break our kiss to turn to our daughter who is now seating on my stomach. Kathryn and I say, “Good morning our Princess Sam.”

Sam throws her arms around Kathryn’s neck and begins kissing her cheeks saying, “Good morning Mommy. I love you.”

With tears of joy Kathryn returns Sam’s kisses and many more. Kathryn says, “I love you too Sam.”

I feel Kathryn’s and Sam’s joy, share it with them. Before I realize it I share Kathryn’s tears of joy. Sam seeing our tears and don’t realize they’re from joy asks, “Did I do something wrong?”

Kathryn laughs and pulls her into a tight hug and says, “No my beautiful little Sam you just made Daddy and Mommy very, very happy.”

Sam with a giggle says, “Oh.” She hugs Kathryn back.

I can’t really set up because where Sam is sitting on me. So, I watch the two loves in my life hug each other. I finally say, “Oh where is Dad’s, don’t I get any hugs?”

Giggling Sam says, “Right after we get back daddy. Mommy I got to go.” She gets up off me, and begins to pull Kathryn up. Kathryn gets up and takes Sam into her arms and begins walking back towards the bathroom.

In a few minutes Mom shows up with Sam’s medicine. Mom asks, “Sam up already?”

I simply reply, “Bathroom.”

Sam comes out in the hall just before Kathryn and seeing her grandma she runs to her shouting, “Grandma Maggie.”

Mom wraps Sam in a hug and kisses Sam on the cheek she says, “Good morning Princess Sam. How did you sleep last night?”

Sam begins with a giggle and says, “Daddy’s shoulder is a little hard so I climbed on to his chest. Mommy was asleep and she still kissed me.” Sam is all giggles now, as my Mom begins to kiss her on her face.

Kathryn comes out of the restroom and gives Sam and my Mom a hug. This is my cue to get up and use the bathroom. I give the three a quick kiss on my way to the bathroom and I explain to Sam, “Daddy got to go too.”

Sam giggles and says, “Hurry back Daddy.”

Kathryn says, “Shave first honey.”

When I come out of the bathroom I find Kathryn and Sam in bathing suits, Sam wears a pretty blue one piece suit and Kathryn is in her normal bikini. Sam runs to me jumping into my arms and says, “Grandma Helen came by with my new bathing suit.”

With a laugh I say, “Looks like we’re not the only ones going to spoil you.”

Sam giggles and says, “Mommy said that too.” Kathryn shakes her head yes confirming what Sam said.

Sam says, “Daddy get you’re swimming trunks on so you can teach me to swim, please.”

After giving Sam a few kisses that cause her to giggle I say, “Since you asked so nicely, how can I refuse my Princess Sam?”

Sam has a questioning look on her face, so I explain, “There’s no way I’m going to tell you no. Any time you ask nicely Sam, I will do about anything for you.” I walk into the closet with my swimming trunks and quickly change into them. Walking out Sam is there with her arms outstretched so I take her into my arms and give her a few kisses.

Kathryn giggles and asks, “Should I be jealous?”

Sam giggles and says, “Daddy you should kiss Mommy so she will not be jealous.”

I walk over to Kathryn, who stands there with her hands on her hips looking angry except for her eyes are green and playful. If she was really angry her eyes would not be green. I’ve only seen her eyes once when she was angry and I hadn’t realized yet how they shift colors with her emotions. Her eyes are Hazel but they shift through green to blue to a brownish gray. They were more of a brownish gray color then.

When I am just a few feet away from Kathryn, I give Sam a kiss on the forehead and set her down. I quickly wrapped my arms around Kathryn and pull her tightly to me. I turn us like in the tango sweeping Kathryn off her feet I now hold her in my arms as she looks up at me. I begin a long passionate kiss as Sam giggles.

Kathryn and I finally break the kiss as Sam giggles stop. I turned Kathryn back and put her on her feet. Together Kathryn and I pick up Sam, and then walk over to the elevator to head to the pool. As the doors open to the elevator and we step into the family room, Helen is there to greet us. Sam immediately reaches for her Grandma Helen. I pass Helen her new Grandchild. Sam says happily, “Thinks for the bathing suit Grandma Helen.”

Of course Helen is dressed for swimming as well, she says, “I wanted to see your first swimming lesson with your daddy.”

I laughed and say, “Her first lesson is to learn how to float.”

Sam gets a disappointed look on her face and asks, “You mean I’m not going to learn to swim today?”

I tell Sam, “Sam it’s important to learn how to float, if you ever fall into the water you may not be able to swim but if you know how to float you won’t drown. We’ll learn how to swim a little today after you have learned to float.”

A little confused and disappointed but she shrugged her shoulders and says, “Okay Daddy.”

I playfully run my hands over Sam’s neck caused her to giggle after a second or two Sam tries to push my hands away. I say, “No gills so you’re not a mermaid. You got to breathe air.”

Giggling Sam says, “Yes Daddy. I’m not a fish.” Sam is a smart child. She now gets the importance of learning to float. With a giggle she says, “As long as I can float I can breathe.”

I say, “That’s right Sam. Even if you are too tired to swim any further as long as you can float, you can rest until you can go on.”

Sam points out, “But Daddy we’re in the pool, it’s not that big, and if I get tired I’ll just get out.”

Then I point something else out to Sam, “Sam I’m not just teaching you how to swim in the pool. I’m teaching you how to swim anywhere you are. In a lake or the ocean, and they really are that big, that you can’t swim all the way across them. But people learn how to swim for miles and miles and to do that you have to stop and float a little once in a while. Some people even learn how to swim all the way across the English Channel it’s twenty-one miles wide.”

Kathryn says, “It is Sam, that’s further them down the river and then all the way across the Lake to the marina in town. I got a boat there. Tomorrow you can have a boat ride when we bring it back.”

Sam says, “Wow that is a long way. Daddy what is a mile?”

Kathryn giggles and says, “Sam, that is twenty-six times from one end of the pool and back. Your Daddy and I swim that almost every day during the summer.”

Sam giggles and asks, “After I know how, can I swim with you?”

I tickle Sam’s belly through her swimsuit and say, “You can, but when you get tired you float and if you are too tired you get out for a while. It may take a long time to learn to swim that far, me and your Mommy didn’t go that far at first too.”

Kathryn giggles and says, “That’s right sweetie it took us a few months to learn how to go that far. We could already run for four or five miles.”

Sam asks, “Mommy why you and Daddy run so far? Does somebody chase you?”

Kathryn giggles and says, “Your Daddy is the only one brave enough to chase me. Everybody around here knows better than to mess with him. He’s kind and gentle but just as tough if he needs to be.”

Sam comes back into my arms and she looks into my eyes she says, “Mommy I don’t see any mean in Daddy.”

Kathryn says, “You won’t see any in him because he’s not mean. That doesn’t make him weak. He’s stronger than any other man I know.”

Sam’s Grandpa Michael says, “That’s right Sam, as long as you are with your Daddy nobody is going to hurt you.”
