Thor & Stacey

“I can’t believe he’s marrying her,” Stacey says while brushing her hair in the bathroom. “I can’t stand her. Do you know how hard it is to pretend to like her? Can you really see me doing that for the rest of my life?”

“Ah, no,” I say as diplomatically as possible. “I thought we set a good example for him, but perhaps not.”

“We did. He’s stubborn. But a grandchild. I can’t hate that.”

“I can’t believe we are going to be grandparents at our ages. We’re not even forty yet.”

“That’s what you get when you get pregnant at my age,” she says laughing as she climbs into bed.

“What are we going to do?”

“Love them and the child they’ve made. That’s all we can do for now.”

“You’re right,” she says.

“That’s enough about them,” I say, pulling her toward me.

“Is it?”

“Yes. I’ve wanted you all day, wife. I love you,” I say as I place kisses down her bare neck. She always sleeps naked giving me easy access to what I need. I sleep the same way because it’s comfortable.

“All day? Why didn’t you come and find me?”

“You were busy with the kids,” I tell her as I continue kissing down her body.

“I’m not busy now,” she says, rubbing her body against me.

“No, but you are about to be,” I whisper in her ear before moving down her body, finding her already wet pussy. I lick her from her clit to her ass before sliding two fingers into her. I thrust them in and out of her.

“More,” she demands and I move up her body. She wraps her legs around my waist and I thrust my dick inside of her. Over and over, I take what I need and give her what she needs. I lose track of how long I am inside of her or how many orgasms she has, but eventually, I can take no more and I let loose inside of her.

After, she lay in my arms, running her fingers through my chest hair.

“What are you thinking about?” I ask.

“A grandchild. You know that I am going to spoil the hell out of him or her.”

“I know sunshine. I know. Bill knows too.”

“How will he go to college with a baby in tow?”

“He’s a smart kid. He’ll figure it out. He asked for help with a downpayment, earlier.”

“Of course we’ll help him,” she says.

Over the last few years, I have made some very wise investments and they paid off. I am still working at the steel factory but I am the general manager now so my salary has increased from when I first started. We’ll have to see what the future brings because all I know is that marriage can’t last.

Chapter Five

Stacey

2008

“Nana, is it time to take the cookies out of the oven?” I walk into the kitchen and kiss the cheek of my ten-year-old granddaughter Hailey. Moving over to the stove, I open it and check the cookies.

“Yes, noodle. They are done. Go grab my oven mitts.” I watch as she skips to the other side of the kitchen and grabs the ones she got me for my birthday. My mind drifts to her subpar mother. She sucks as a mom, in my opinion, but she is an even worse wife. As well as half of the town, I know that she has been sleeping with the mayor, almost as long as she has been married to my son. I believe if it weren’t for Hailey, she would have left a long time ago.

“Here you go, Nana.” So sweet. She is the first grandchild for Thor and me and the first great-grandchild for Enid and Thom. She is spoiled rotten, but you would never know it by her sweet, calm, and meek demeanor. I love watching her with Bill, sometimes. The way they interact with one another. She is truly a daddy’s girl. Speaking of, I turn when I hear my door open.

“Momma?” he calls out.

“Back here, son,” I call back.

“Daddy!!” Hailey jumps off the stool straight into his arms. He catches her and kisses her all over her face, like he always does.

“Hey, noodle. How was your day with grandma?”

“Good. We baked cookies, two cakes for the church, and a pie for Mrs. Crawford. She has a cold.” He chuckles as she tells him every single detail.

“Sounds like you two ladies have been busy. Thanks for watching her mom.” He kisses my cheek. I rub his face reading the strain of his broken marriage and all that he won’t say in front of his daughter.

“You know it is never a problem. We all love you both and are here for you.”

“I know, mama. I love you. We would totally stay for dinner, but my best girl and I have plans tonight...don’t we?” He tickles her, and she nods her head. Yep. Daddy is going to teach me how to make his chili while we watch Criminal Minds. Shaking my head, I tsk at him.
