Free Forever Love (Fghter Club 1) by Marie Dominique Page B

might not be so easy to please somehow and that
Rachel had taken the pre-nup trick a bit too easily. James and
Alexia had been working really well together with Ben and Amber and
after the initial giddiness of moving in they soon calmed down and
got back to the respectable children they once were, it helped that
they had a job list for them to do so they could earn pocket money.
James managed to get Alexia to agree that he could buy them nine
“main” presents for Christmas to make up for the last nine years.
They weren’t strict with the children and when they went shopping
they got a treat like all the other kids but Alexia didn’t want
them growing up been spoilt and did not want them to have an “I can
snap my fingers and the money’s going to come running” kind of
attitude. Which went totally out of the window when James’ parents
came round and Alexia knew to well there would be no arguing with
them either so she kept quite, remembering back to when Tim and
Mary, came round a few days after they had moved into James’
house.
    ‘ They’re
here,’ James said as he walked out of his office and to the front
door, reaching it as his mum knocked. Alexia stood in the hall
ready to greet them. His mum Mary waltzed through and screamed in
delight, pushing straight past James to run up to Alexia pulling
her into a hug making Alexia giggle.
    James and his dad Tim stood
there at the door and watched them, then shook hands in greeting
and joined the women in the hallway.
    Mary then held Alexia at arm’s
length and started talking to her and Alexia knew full well she
wasn’t going to get in a word in edge ways so she just nodded in
agreement to her and looking at James and Tim over Mary’s shoulder
who were grinning at her.
    ‘ Oh Alexia, my
darling, it’s so lovely to see you. I’m so glad you’re back,’ she
said and started to cry. ‘I’ve missed you so much, James’ world was
shattered when you left as was yours. I’m so glad you have sorted
your difference’s and are back together where you belong,’ she
sniffed and grabbed a tissue, ‘And you’ve had his children, I’m so
pleased it was you and not that old hag of an ex of his,’ she
continued as she looked out the window for them. Whilst his mum had
stopped James quickly jumped in.
    ‘ Ben and Amber
are outside mother, why don’t you let Alexia say hello to Dad and
we’ll go find them.’
    ‘ Oh yes, of
course.’ she smiled at Alexia as she moved over to hug Tim before
going outside to the children.
    James held Alexia’s hand as
they walked out to the garden where Amber was chasing Ben because
he’d taken her ball.
    ‘ Hey guys,
Grandma and granddad are here.’ James shouted, ‘And Ben give Amber
her ball back.’
    Ben dropped the ball and they
both ran up to their grandparents and gave them a big hug.
    ‘ OH MY!’ Mary
cried out, ‘Look at you two, you’re both the double of your
parents.’ She had tears running down her face.’Oh Tim, look at
them, so precious. I never thought this day would come.’
    James and Tim looked at each
other and rolled their eyes and Tim went and gave them a hug,
whilst Alexia smiled with tears in her eyes at Mary with the kids.
James put his arm around her and kissed her forehead.
    They spent the rest of the
afternoon having lunch, catching up and laughing, having the best
time. Alexia and Mary sat talking and drinking wine whilst watching
the men play football with the children.
    ‘ So James told
me about your mother dear, I’m so sorry you had to go through that
and bring up the twins on your own. I hope that witch gets what’s
coming to her.’ Mary said whilst topping up her glass.
    ‘ Yeah it was
difficult, they were tough time’s.’ she smiled at Mary. ‘But I have
you all now.’
    ‘ That you do
my dear, that you do.’ Mary smiled back.

    Alexia looked up from her kindle
and looked round to see Ben and Amber in the garden so she got up
and walked in search of James. He looked up at her
