Action The Crimson Red

[Hal1992]

Alena took the gift and slowly.opened it. Her eyes growing wide and watery. It was beautiful. She couldn't wait to thank her. "Notch...look" She held up the drawing and then turned it back to herself. "This would look perfect in your office...the one at Crimson jot home. Well it would look beautiful anywhere. " She rambled before placing the drawing down on the seat and looming at the two rings on her finger. "I am your wife...finally" She laughed.

Alena swallowed and slid across the seat and rested against him as the man drove. "We could always just head home and forget about the party" She smirked before shaking her head. "Though I am sure your mother wouldn't be happy if we didn't show up. Volt is picking Frank up. I may or may not have bought him a children's tie."

Amelia looked at him as they settled in the car. She chuckled. "I just was wondering were you stood. I thought it would be good to know" She placed her hand on his upper thigh. "Yes, because the practice we are doing isn't enough!"

Notch put his arm around Alena and held her while he cruised down the road.

"My mother would be very upset if we didn't show up. Besides. We are going to christen the new office tonight. What kind of a mob boss would I be if I missed that?" he said with a smile. This was the best day of his life. A wife. New office. All his friends and family in one spot. It was an amazing time for him and he wanted to embrace every bit of it. "After the party, however, we will head home because we are taking a few days off. It's only fair that I get to sit in the new boss chair for the first time - but fair for Chucky to run the office for the first time. It's poetic..." he said softly as he felt it was the right thing to do - and it benefited him and Alena. I wanted to tell you this tonight but I can't wait anymore..." he said as he pulled up to an intersection and was stopped by the flagger. "I booked us two nights at the Golden Crown Hotel in Bixby. One of the nicest hotels in the north. You. Me. Champagne and a brass tub big enough to float an island." he stated as he winked at her. "All ours for two days." he added.

-----------------

Chucky leaned over and kissed Amelia on the lips.

"Well. We'll just have to practice more, won't we?" he said with a chuckle and leaned back up to grip the steering wheel. He cranked the car and left the church.

They are driving down the road as he looked at her a moment.

"Ya okay, babe?" he asked. "You seem... I don't know." he added as he wasn't sure what was on her mind. Not in a million years would he expect 'a baby' was on her mind.

 

[Hal1992]

Alena's eyes widened and she grinned brighter than she had been. The Golden Crown was a dream. She had heard only good things about the place. Apparently the food was fantastic, the bed was supposed to be so soft and welcoming that it felt like a warm cloud was hugging. She took his chin and her hand and kissed him deeply ignoring the fact someone behind them blaring on the horn fornthem to move. She did the most unspeakable unlady like thing and flipped the driver off before pulling back. "I've always wanted to stay there. My love...that place is perfect. How did you get a reservation? It is impossible!"

The burnette was buzzing in her seat.

"God I love you" She smirked thinking about that tub, the two of them cuddled under hot water. "We are...God I love you"

-

Amelia cleared her thoart but remained silent for a long moment. "No...um...I am not. I mean...I don't think I am. I am no sure how to say this...so I am just going to say it"

Taking a deep breath, she blurted out.

"I am pregnant " , her eyes moving to her lab, her body moving close the door unsure how he'd react.

Chucky slams on the breaks and the car fish tails to a stop - in the middle of the road. Both of them lean forward a moment until the stop is complete and both are slammed to their seat.

"What did ya say?" he said with a serious look at first - followed by a slight smirk until his face was smiling ear to ear. "You're pregnant? With a baby!?" he asked. Obviously, it was a baby. "You're joking!?" he asked excitedly. "A little bitty baby!?" he said with full-blown hysterical excitement. "THAT'S GREAT!!!!" he said as he hugged and kissed her. "That's fantastic!!!!" he added again as he looked at her. "We didn't have to practice after all." he said playfull. The car behind him honked their horn. Chucky waved and scooted back into his seat and took off driving. "I'm going to be a pappy." he said as he looked down a moment. "Well. We have to get hitched. That's all there is to it. I won't have you carrying my child without a ring on that finger... guess we'll need to go ring shopping, Mrs. Palendino." he said with a wink.

 

[Hal1992]

Amelia looked at the man fear flashing across her face but fading quickly as his excitment showed. The woman grinned and kissed the man back. "I was a little concerned there, love" She pressed another kiss against his warm lips and placed her hand on her stomach. She was just over three months. They were going to benparents.

"Are you sure you want to marry a woman in this condition?" She joked and rested against him, grabbing his hand and placing it on her stomach. "We are having a baby"

 

[Deleted member 211]

Chucky placed his arm around her as he drove to the new Crimson office.

"We should tell everyone tonight. This would be a night to remember. Notch and Alena. The new office. A baby." he said followed by a chuckle.

----------

Notch and Alena arrived at their house. Notch wanted to stop by to take off half of his tux as it was uncomfortable. Everyone else was still gathered at the Church talking and mingling while the best men and bridesmaids made their way to the office to finalize the reception. Notch turned off the car and smiled at Alena.

"It won't be but a moment... unless you want to come in too. I'm just going to get ride of this tux jacket and tie and wear something a bit less formal for the reception."

 

[Hal1992]

Alena smirked, her eyes dark. "Of course I'll come with. Are you just now becoming bashful? Because we married? It's supposed to be the other way...you should be less bashful" She giggled and kissed him softly before following him. "Maybe I will change ass well. I am feeling a bit closed off in this"

Alena smiled softly at him, "I did buy that other dress for the reception. Will you help me out of this? I can't reach the buttons"


-

"They will be so happy....I know Alena has major baby fever so this will make her happy. She's gonna be an auntie" Amelia danced a bit in her seat.

"I hope we have a girl"

 

[Deleted member 211]

Notch smiled and agreed to help her.

They are in their bed room and he unbuttoned her dress - and would let her finish de-robing while he changed.

"It was a great wedding. Everyone seemed to of had a great time." he stated making small talk as he changed.

---------

Chucky smiled.

"I wouldn't mind having a daddy's girl... but I'm banking on a boy. I'd name him after my father. Charles." which is also his name. So the boy would be Charles Palentino III. "Charles Palentino the third.... that has a nice ring to it." he said with a chuckle. "I'm so exited. This is great! We'll have to get a room ready for the little tike."

 

[Hal1992]

Alena nodded her head, she carefully stripped down to not mess her make up or hair. She stepped out of her wedding dress then into a tea length cream one. "They did seem to like it a lot...You looked handsome"

She stepped out of her dressing room and gave him a soft grin. "Should I change back?"

-

The woman looked at him and grinned. "I am glad we chose a name already. " She teased and rubbed her stomach. "It is a perfect name"

 

[Deleted member 211]

Notch smiled as he still wore the dress shirt and pants from the tux but it wasn't formal as before. He put his arms around her and gave her a kiss.

"And you look and still look very beautiful." he said softly. "You're great like you are. We better go. Don't want to keep everyone waiting." he said followed by a wink and walked away.

------

Chucky and Amelia pulled up to the new building were several people stood outside waiting to get in. The building was locked - to keep everyone out until the reveal. Chucky smiled at Amelia.

"I think it is..." he said softly as he turned the car off and got out. He opened the door for Amelia to exit and closed it behind her. Leonard was standing there with a toothpick in his mouth and his hands in his pockets.

"Chucky. How ya been?" he said. Chucky smiled.

"Great! How are you?" he stated and extended his hand. Leonard took it and gave it a firm shake.

"I'm roll'n in the dough and keeping my body above ground. You know what I mean?" he said referring to his gang. He looked at Amelia with a charming nod. "And who is this lovely lady you brought before me?" he said. Chucky knew Leonard was a charming man - and that hasn't changed one bit.

"Amelia. Amelia. This is Leonard... Notch's brother." he said. Leonard took Amelia's hand and gave it a soft and gentle kiss on the back.

"Pleasure, ma'am." he said.

 

[Hal1992]

Alena followed him back to the car and got in, happily sitting next to Notch. She babbled most of the way about the food and how excited she was to eat and she should be since she hadn't eaten since breakfast the day before. She reached back and gave Frank a pet. He needed to be involved. "What do you think of Frank's tie?"

-

Amelia gave the man a smile and waited for him to let her hand go. She moved to press it softly on Chucky's chest making a point that she was his and no one else's. "It is nice to meet you as well"

"Alena mentioned that Notch had a brother...I wonder where they are" The blonde gave him a soft smile before looking up at Chucky. "Do you think we could sneak something small...I am starving"

Shortly later, Alena and Notch arrived. "I am nervous to meet your parents, Notch"

 

[Deleted member 211]

Notch smiled and put his hand on Alena's shoulder.

"Don't worry. You'll like them and I know they'll love you. I promise." he said softly as he kissed her cheek to show his affection and support. Everything would be just fine. Notch left the car and walked around to open the door. He let her out and shut it behind her. Leonard quickly approached Notch and made motions like they were going to fight - throwing fake punches and making dodging moves. Typical brother stuff. They both laughed and hugged each other. They patted each other on the back and pulled away and just looked at each other.

"How you doing, loser?" Leonard said playfully. Notch smiled.

"I'm great. How are you - you foul faced baboon?" he returned the joke. Leonard chuckled.

"I'm roll'n." he said which was his typical answer. Leonard looked at Alena and shook his head with a charming smile. "You get sweeter each time I see ya." he stated as he lifted her hand and kissed the back of it. "Mr and Mrs Anderson. My sister and law... don't think - now that you're married - that I won't keep tryin' to steal ya!" he said followed by a wink. He was joking, of course.

 

[Hal1992]

Alena leaned down rubbed Frank's head, he let out a sigh and leaned his 200plus pounds body on her. He was just here for the cuddles, food, and he had started to have separation anxiety. The burnette chuckled at the boys, some things never change and this was one of them.

A smile grew and she shook her head. "It is nice to see you" She gave him a hug and pulled back to.wrap an arm around Notch's wasit. "Sooo...my truthful brother in law...do you think your mom is going to like ne?"

 

[Deleted member 211]

Leonard shook his head.

"No. You're not really her idea of a wife for her son..." he said followed by a smirk. "She's going to love you! Don't worry." he stated as he looked at Notch and gave him a wink.

Moments later, Notch's parents walked over to them. His mom, Layla was a short lady. She is wearing a turquoise dress with a silver necklace. Her hair is red and curly. His father, Verlin, is a tall man like Notch and Leonard. As a matter of fact, Notch is a spitting image of Verlin - only Verlin is older with mostly gray hair. Layla walks up to Notch and puts her hand on his cheek and hugs him.

"My boy!!!!" she said with a tearful laugh. "Look at you. All married." she said softly.

"Hello Mother." he said softly. Verlin smiles and puts his hand on Leonard's shoulder. Layla stepped away and Verlin took her place to greet his son.

"Hello son." he said simply - something Notch does a lot of the time in a simple greeting.

"Hello father. I want you both to meet my bride. Alena - Anderson now." he said. They both quickly looked at her and smiled.

"You're so beautiful." Layla said as she gave her a hug.

"Is there going to be bourbon in there?" Verlin asked Notch. Notch chuckled.

"Yes but we have to wait. We are christening our new office." he replied. Verlin looked at the building.

"Huh. That's a nice one. What is it you do exactly?" he asked Notch. Notch smiled.

"We're an accounting service. Remember?" he explained.

"Yeah. I remember. I don't believe it." Verlin stated. Notch's stomach rumbled from the nervousness of his statement.


-----------


Chucky was talking to the gang. He was spoking low key so Notch's parents couldn't hear.

"Remember guys. We's not a crime gang. We's accountants. We do pay roll for various companies. Got it?"

The men nodded and agreed. No No spoke up.

"Well. We kinda are. We deal with transactions and money. Right?" he said. Everyone nodded in agreement and chattered amongst themselves.

 

[Hal1992]

Alena glared at Leo, "Funny...you are a very funny man" She leaned into Notch and kissed his jaw line. "I'm going to punch your brother" She smiled as she spoke. Her attention moved to the large dog nervously as his parents walked over.

She knew that if his mother found anything out how they really meant and the events leading up to their wedding, she wouldn't be the woman that any mother would want to marry their son.

Alena strightened up, gave Frank a tap on the nose gently and lovingly before turning her attention to Notch's parents. Before she could speak his mother's arms were around her. "Oh thank you...as are you" She hugged the woman back.

Alena pressed her hand against her husband's chest and smiled at his father, "It's true, I meant him though my father. He was also an accountant and wasn't too pleased when I went to work for Notch. Loyalty and all but the heart trumps that"

Amelia hand slipped out of Chucky's. "I will be right back." She winked and moved towards Alena. She wanted to tell her before everyone found out. She apologized for needing the bride and pulled her aside.


Just from watching the two, anyone could tell big news had been shared. Alena's dark eyes widened and swelled with tears but soon, jumping and screams of.exxitment erupted from the two. Alena hugged Amelia and kissed her cheek.
