Captains Come First
Chapter 8
"So you're sure Carolyne and Vero are ok with this?" Heather asked suspiciously with her arms crossed in the players lounge. "I mean I don't mind but..." She was cut off by Pascal
"it's not like you'll be having a hook up session with Beau or Brooksy while you're watching our kids. We trust that you have more tact than that." He said giving her a face.
"I suddenly feel like you have this bison of me being Maria Von Trapp, teaching the kids to sing Do Re Mi in perfect harmony." She said rolling her eyes laughing as she settled on the couch beside Flower. "Except I'm not exactly a nun, or even catholic" she added.
"And there's no Nazis chasing you out of Germany." Said Flower laughing.
"You mean Austria." Added Heather with a laugh.
"No, pretty sure it was Germany" Flower said with a wrinkled brow.
"Fleury I was in the show, it's Austria" she said shaking her head.
"Anyways" said Duper steering things back on track "tonight, 6:00 at my house. I'll order pizza for you and the kids" he said with a smile "makes meal time easier" he added.
"sounds great. Just 5 kids and me" she said .
"Who has five kids? " asked Neal entering the lounge freshly dressed in jeans and a 412 hoodie grabbing a blue Gatorade from the refrigerator. "Because the future Mrs. Neal needs to be ready for 6 or 7 at least" he said flopping onto the couch.
"Heather is our babysitter for the night" said Duper .
"want some help?" He asked her
"No way Nealer, my daughter is only 6 months old, she's a little young for you to corrupt." Said Flower laughing.
"I'm great with kids" his arms rose in defense "Oldest of five kids" he added. "I used to babysit my brothers and sister all of the time before hockey took over my life" he said.
"He has a point guys" Heather said raising her eyebrows nodding her head in agreement.
"fine" said Duper agreeing. "But keep the bad words to a minimum. And no funny business Neal, my couch doesn't have protection" Duper said getting up.
Heather. Arrived at the Dupuis home just after 6 that night. She saw James Mercedes already in the driveway. She rang the doorbell and soon after Pascal answered the door wearing what looked to be a very expensive custom made black suit.
"Handsome Duper" she said entering the home she turned and straightened his dark blue tie "there perfect" she said reaching up to give him a small peck on the lips. It was innocent and not meant in a sexual or romantic way. "Carolyn is one lucky lady " she said as he escorted her into the livingroom.
She heard a commotion coming from the livingroom as she entered she saw James wearing a black blanket over his head with a toy lightsabre in hand battling against Pascal's son Kody.
"Luke, I am your father" he said in his best Darth Vader voice. "You must turn to the dark side!" Suddenly he heard Heather giggle at the scene and he immediately stopped and took the blanket off of his head. "Oh hey Heather, I was uh, just helping Kody with some homework." He said nonchalant.
"and what subject would that be?" She asked still laughing at his antics.
"Umm...history, it's a historical reenactment of a lightsabre battle" he said looking at her nodding his head trying to be convincing.
"Smooth Jame, real smooth. But let me fix that hair of yours" said Pascal picking up one of his son's mini sticks ruffling James' hair just like he would before a game
"She's fed" MAF said of his daughter Estelle that he brought in to the livingroom with the rest of the kids. The doorbell rang "And that's the pizza. Here" he said passing off Estelle to Heather as he and Duper went to grab the pizza boxes.
"Hi Estelle, are we going to have fun tonight? Are we?" She cooed to the 6 month old little girl as she bounced her on her hip.
"looks good on you" said James smiling at her.
"Kids Daddy's going" called Pascal from the door. They lined up for him to kiss goodnight. "Be good for Heather and James. Do everything Heather tells you too and none of what James tells you to" he said with a smile
"Hey!" James said pointing his finger.
"Kody don't best up on Uncle James too much eh?" Said Fleury hi fiving the young boy as he ran back to the livingroom with his three sisters with a pizza box in his hand. "We could use him in the game tomorrow night to make Daddy look good." he added calling down the hall.
"I'm asking for a trade." James said in mock horror heading back down the hall. Taking Estelle into his arms "come on Estelle, I'll teach you some new names to call your daddy"
"be good to your girls boys" Heather said giving them both a peck on the lips and a hug. "Enjoy yourselves" she added. It was almost like a mother sending her sons off to prom. They were off to pick up their ladies who had spent the day beautifying themselves at MAF's house.
After dinner, Zoe, Maeva and Lola wanted to watch Justin Bieber's Never Say Never movie. Kody was busy playing with his Nintendo ds on the couch with James and Estelle looking on.
Heather and the girls were dancing around the room to Justin's song Baby when James said to them
"hey girls, you know Heather is a professional right?" The girls replied to him with awe.
"well not anymore" she said sitting down beside James on the couch taking Estelle back from his arms. "I haven't done a show in a while." She added.
" Don't let her fool you. She's a pro." He said to the girls as he got up and danced with the girls. "Come on Zoe" he said to the little girl. "Let's dance". James continued to dance like a crazy person with the girls until the movie ended. It was bedtime.
"james you take Cody, I've got the girls." She said.
"I'll take Estelle to even things out a bit." He added taking the little girl up with him.
Lola, the youngest was easy practically asleep on her shoulders. Maeva the eldest was allowed to stay up a bit and read. So Heather took the middle girl Zoe and tucked her in to bed. She read her a storybook version of Disney's Cinderella.
"And they lived happily ever after." Heather said.
"do you believe in fairy tales?" Zoe asked her as she settled down into bed.
"I hope so." Heather said a little sadly not wanting to tell the little girl that happily ever after doesn't always happen. "I'm sure you will find your prince charming one day who will love you and spoil you to death." She said smiling tickling the girl.
"Like James?" She said smiling. "I hope he is my Prince Charming . He's so cute!" She said.
"You think so?" She asked with a smile. The little girl nodded her head enthusiastically. "Well don't let your daddy Know that." She said with a smirk, "now off to bed miss Zoe" she said giving a hug goodnight.
Heather headed downstairs to the livingroom where she saw James lounging on the couch with a sleeping Estelle on his chest. She quietly came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Estelle had fallen asleep watching Thomas the tank engine with James.
"She's out" he said in a whisper. "We've bonded " he added with a smile. Heather came around and took the little girl from his chest to put her in the playpen in an adjoining sitting room.
" James you're a very useful engine" she said echoing a line from the show on tv as they both chuckled. Heather placed her down in the playpen and went back to the livingroom.
James leaned up against the arm of the couch with oneleg stretched and the other on he floor he patted his chest encouraging Heather to come and relax with him. She gladly obliged relaxing into his arms.
"So what are we watching?" Heather asked as she snuggled into his chest.
"Wedding Crashers. One of my favourites." He said to her.
"Mine too." Heather said.
"Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher" he made a purring noise. "Doesn't get much hotter than that. They're way too hot for the guys in the movie."
"No way," Heather said as she felt James run a hand through her hair. "Bradley Cooper. Those eyes mmm" she added.
"Better than mine?" He asked her as she turned around resting her chin on his chest looking up into his blue green eyes.
"hmm." She said raising an eyebrow as James gave her a pleading look while rubbing the small of her back. "You win" she said with a smile. "Mostly because I haven't seen his up close in person she said sliding up his chest giving him a small kiss.
"Bitch" he said between kisses giving her a playful slap on her butt. The two of them kissed not intensely but sweetly, making out for what felt like hours. His soft tongue caressing hers while rubbing his hand over her back grabbing her ass.
"You looked pretty natural with the baby tonight" he said to her between kisses. "I meant that." He added.
"I've had some practice." She said remembering James didn't know about her son Avery. "Lots of babysitting jobs" she added as she leaned in continuing kissing him grabbing the back of his head keeping a hand in his hair massaging his scalp. She could feel him awakening underneath him. She slipped a hand between them undoing his belt and jeans while slipping a hand down rubbing his already hard need over his boxers. He moaned into her mouth enjoying every small stroke she made with her fingers.
"I'm so glad I came tonight" James said to her as she continued to rub and he looked into her eyes. He shifted them sideways to make it easier for Heather to access his need. "I've missed my time with you." He said to her feeling like it had been forever since he had had some time alone with her. However they were interrupted by a faint cry in the other room. James did up his pants and Heather rolled off of him. He went and picked up Estelle walking her into the next room.
He stood in the middle of the floor swaying with Estelle in his arms shushing her to calm her. "Sing for her" he said. "And me, please?" He asked sticking his lower lip out a bit.
Heather took a deep breath and launched into I found a Boy by Adele.
She sang:
"I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true!
I fall short each time,
Every time he ain't here
You and your charm creep closer, closer and near,
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all!
Like a bomb before explosion,
Ticking by your call You're the wiser one, disguised from greed
And I'm just a child who longs on her knees.
But I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried,
And let yourself down!
Look how you want me now but I don't need you!"
"It worked" James whispered as he laid Estelle back down in her bed. He walked back Into the room. "Your voice it's amazing" he said smiling cupping a hand on her cheek. He leaned in for a kiss. This time more intensely , deeper, probing his tongue more and more into her mouth. He took one hand and rested it on her behind lightly grabbing it. His other hand slid up her shirt to the clasp of her bras. He had just finished undoing the clasp when he heard a door shut.
"Honey, we're home" called MAF entering the room as James quickly withdrew his hand.
"again?" He asked her leaning her forehead against hers as Heather sighed and chuckled. "Do I have some sort of sex radar or something?" He asked her
"it's not like you'll be having a hook up session with Beau or Brooksy while you're watching our kids. We trust that you have more tact than that." He said giving her a face.
"I suddenly feel like you have this bison of me being Maria Von Trapp, teaching the kids to sing Do Re Mi in perfect harmony." She said rolling her eyes laughing as she settled on the couch beside Flower. "Except I'm not exactly a nun, or even catholic" she added.
