The Love to Live For

Alysha's POV

We get back to Olli's house with Patric's kids. They are staying with us until Brooke is released from the hospital. Unfortunately, they won't be able to fly back for awhile seem how she had the babies in Detroit. Her and Pat have always had Thanksgiving together since they met and it just kinda became a tradition for them.
"I guess we should get the kids some dinner," I say as I put on my jacket so me and Olli can take the kids out to eat.
"Yeah, where you want to go?"
"Where do you kids want to get dinner? Brooke told us to keep you healthy so there's no trying to trick us," I say smiling. I love kids. Me and Olli would make good parents.
"I have always wanted to go to Olive Garden," says the oldest kid, Jake. He just turned 13. He's a sweet kid.
"Then Olive Garden it is," I say as we parade out to the car. Olli locks the door and gets in the drivers seat.

We get to Olive Garden and the hostess seats us at a nice booth.
"Your waitress will be right with you," says the hostess as she walks back to the front of the restaurant.
"This is nice. Olive Garden is really good," I say as I look through the menu. The waitress approaches us.
"Olli Maatta? Where is your team? You guys are here all the time!" says the waitress. For a second I thought they dated before. I don't know why I thought that.
"They are all over Pittsburgh," says Olli as him and the waitress laugh. Yeah, the Penguins love to party.
"For the rest of you that don't know me, I'm Jacki, your waitress. Can I start you guys off with something to drink?"
"You can go first," says Olli nudging me. I just smile and put in my drink order.
"OMG are you that mystery girl?" asks the waitress. I can tell she is trying to keep her voice down, but she is just so excited and nice.
"Mystery girl?" I question. I never heard anything about that. Did the media find out about me?
"Yeah! Because of you, Olli has been playing so much better," says Jacki. I can tell she is a huge Pens fan.
"Your welcome, I guess," I say not knowing exaclty what to say or what I did. I have never had this kind of attention before. Olli is used to it, but it's all knew to me. Everyone else orders there drinks and I just sit there embarrassed. Jacki walks away to get us our drinks.
"Are you okay? That's just Jacki. She loves to meet anyone associated with the Pens. You'll get used to this kind of attention," says Olli pulling me into a hug. I just want to cry. I don't think I can handle the fact that the media found out about us, but I guess we did leave it kind of obvious. The three boys go over their menu and me and Olli just sit there thinking about the media. I love Olli, but publicity is something I need to get used if I want to be with him. I should have seen this coming.

We get back to Olli's house and I get the boys ready for bed. They are the sweetest kids. I get them some blankets and pillows so they can sleep on the pull-out couch. All three of the kids can fit on it. I am tuck Oller into bed. I turn to head into Olli's room, but Oller tugged my arm.
"You need something?" I say turning around and getting down on my knees.

"When are you and Olli going to have kids?" asks Oller. The other two kids try not to laugh. I look at them and they stop smiling.

"Well, to answer your question," I say trying to find the right words. I am shocked about this question. I do want kids with Olli. "Me and Olli aren't ready yet."

I walk to Olli's room and get into bed with Olli, who is watching TV. I just inhale deeply and exhale slowly.

"Are you okay?" he asks as he turns down the TV.

"Oller just asked me an interesting question."

"What'd he ask?"

"He asked when we were going to have kids."

That left Olli speechless kinda how I felt. I want to know what he's thinking, I just don't want to asks him because I don't want to creep him out.

"What did you tell him?" asks Olli finally saying something.

"I told him we weren't ready. I will be honest, I do see a future with you."

"Y-you do?"

"Yes. I do."

Olli is speechless yet again. I love him. I don't want to lose him. I think he is thinking about breaking up with me. I just want to cry. We are completely silent for a few minutes.

"Well? Say something," I say quietly. He just inhales and then turns to me. He looks like he want's to say something. Instead of saying anything, he just leans over and kisses me passionately. I wrap my arms around him and lean into him. I run my hand through his hair and tugs me on top of him. I have never done this before. I want to be good for him. We tug off our clothes hungry for each other. We never said anything about having kids, but yet we do this. Yeah, totally makes sense. I do love Olli and I do want to keep him happy. I just think he's happy with me. I don't think he cares about sex.

"You sure you want to do this?" he asks between kisses.

"Of course."

Olli flips us over so that he is on top and I am on bottom. He slowly enters and I moan in pain. God I hate being a virgin, it's just not enjoyable.

A few Minutes later...

Olli fell right asleep. I sneak out of bed and head to the bathroom. I can't believe that just happened. I can't stop thinking about Oller's question. When are we going to have kids? I head back into bed and I drift off to sleep.
