Love, Kids, Gossip, and NYC

Nate grinned, "Your sister and her shopping." He leaned over and kissed his wife.

"This one too." Chuck teased pointing at Brighton.

"Says the man buying the three year old a pony." She laughed.

"Pony pony pony." Lilianna mumbled while playing with blocks.

"What can I say? I spoil you both rotten." Chuck laughed.

"How many guests are you at for the wedding now?" Kel asked.

"Around 550. Waiting on a few business replies but you know." Chuck answered.

Kel smiled, "Sometimes I wish that we had had a huge wedding. But I loved every minute of mine. I am SO excited for yours!"

"Me too." Brighton said, half lying.

Kel knew her sister wasn't saying something but she let it go until they went shopping.

Chuck sensed it too but also let it go.

"Anyone want coffee?" Brighton asked as she stood up to go into the kitchen. She was a little hungry but wanted to stay thin for the wedding.

Nate nodded a ther.

Brighton came back with two cups of coffee. She sat next to Chuck. "Hungry baby? I'll order something." He asked but she shook her head.

Chuck sighed.

"Mama! I'm hungry!" Lilianna squealed.

"What do you want?" Brighton smiled slightly.

"Pancakes!" She shouted.

"I'll go make you some." Brighton got up.

"I'll help." Chuck followed her. They knew Nate and Kel were more than comfortable in their home.

"You've lost a bit of weight." Chuck muttered.

878

Kel sighed as she got a text. It was from the man she'd had an affair with early i her marriage to Nate.

"Stress from planning the wedding and stuff." Brighton said as she got out the pancake mix.

"Please take care of yourself." Chuck said.

"I am." She tried to keep herself from snapping.

Kel thought for a moment and formulated a reply.

Carter, I have told you repeatedly to leave me the fuck alone.

Chuck frowned at her.

I just want to talk He replied.

*&*

"Brighton, please. For Lilianna." Chuck whispered.

"Don't mix her up in this." Brighton snapped softly.

No! She text back in annoyance.

Then I guess I will be dropping something in the mail for Nate.

(*(

Chuck glared at her.

What are you talking about? She responded quickly.

*&*

"Say something." Brighton whispered.

"I'm not happy with you right now." Chuck looked at her.

"I'm sorry." She muttered and looked down.

I guess you'll have to meet with me to find out.

*&*

Chuck sighed as he looked at her, "I love you but I hate how you are doing this."

Kel thought for a moment she was very unsure of this. Where and when? Was her response.

*&*

Brighton took his hand and he kissed her neck while standing behind her. "I love you too." She whispered.

"Everything okay?" Nate asked.

Brighton smiled slightly. She really did love him.

She faked a smile and nodded. She was seriously considering just telling him.

He kissed her neck.
