Here's the next chapter Nords!!

--

We had spent basically the entire week doing everything family oriented. We were either walking up and down the boardwalk, playing in the ocean, or riding the rides on the boardwalk. It definitely wasn't a typical honeymoon but I didn't care. I wanted Brynlee and Mingus here. Watching them having fun and being here with us made me happy.

"Babe," Norman called out through the condo. I was in the kitchen making a late lunch for us while Brynlee and Mingus were napping before we decided what to do next. "In the kitchen," I called back while continuing to cut up the fruits and vegetables.

Even though I knew it wouldn't take him that long to get to me I still jumped when his arms wrapped around my waist. "What're you making?" Norman asked me as he rested his chin on my shoulder. I leaned back into him slightly before continuing to chop everything up.

"I figured because of the heat we could use something light. So I'm making some fruit salad and just cutting up some vegetables to go along with it," I said. Norman kissed my bare shoulder. "It sounds delicious," he said softly before kissing my shoulder again.

That was one of the things that I loved about Norman. I could make the most extravagant meal or the simplest meal like this one and he was still grateful for it. "Hey guys," this time both Norman and I jumped not expecting Mingus to walk into the room.

"Hey bud," I said glancing over my shoulder at him and giving him a small smile. Mingus hopped up on the barstool and grabbed a piece of cantaloupe from the cutting board. "Hey mister, I am not finished yet," I said jokingly. Mingus gave me a smile and popped the rest of it in his mouth.

I watched as Norman's hand reached out and grabbed a piece next and I glared at him. "Mr. Reedus," I said. He gave me a small smile. "Mrs. Reedus," I couldn't help but blush at that. Norman's smile grew a little once he noticed that I was blushing.

I heard little feet pattering through the condo and Brynlee's small self appeared in the doorway with her blanket and kitten in hand. "Hey squirt," Norman said while turning his attention to her. Brynlee dropped both her blanket and kitten as she placed her hands on her hips.

"I am not a squirt daddy!" Brynlee exclaimed. Norman glanced over his shoulder at Mingus and me. "Is that so?" Norman asked as her as he turned back around. Brynlee stuck her tongue out.

"You are such a Reedus," Norman said as he ran towards Brynlee. She squealed and took off through the condo with Norman right behind her. I looked up at Mingus. "Do I need to chase you around now?" I asked him jokingly. Mingus rolled his eyes and grabbed another piece of fruit.

I pointed the knife at him and shook it lightly. He stuck his tongue out at me again and grabbed one more piece before hopping off the barstool. "I'll be right back," he said. I was now alone in the kitchen. I could still hear Brynlee squealing and shrieking with giggles meaning that Norman had most likely caught her and was now tickling her.

Norman came back a few seconds later with Brynlee over his shoulder. "Mommy help!" Brynlee squealed while trying to get down. I chuckled slightly. "Mommy is a little busy right now. Maybe Gus can help you," I said while putting all the fruit in the bowl.

"GUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS!" Brynlee shrieked even louder. I heard the footsteps and I knew Mingus was running. He finally appeared while throwing a shirt over his head. "What?!" he asked slightly alarmed while looking around at everyone.

I loved how protective he was of Brynlee. He let out a sigh of relief once he saw that everything was fine. "What, sis?" he asked walking up to Brynlee who was still slung around Norman's shoulder. "Help," she said simply while trying to wiggle around to look at him.

Mingus lifted Brynlee from Norman's shoulder and placed her on the floor in front of him. She stood on his feet and leaned against him. She had always loved doing that even when she was a toddler especially when Mingus would walk with her still on his feet.

"Lunch is ready," I said while sitting the bowl on the counter. Mingus lifted Brynlee on a barstool before settling in the one beside her. Norman and I sat opposite of him. "I want you two to go out tonight," Mingus said between bites of fruit.

Norman and I looked at each other before looking back at Mingus. "Alone," he said. "Ming, we're okay with this. This is why you guys came with. We wanted it to be a family thing," Norman said. Mingus's eyebrows came together almost like he was a little offended.

"I know but you guys deserve at least one night out together alone. You guys got married for a reason right," he said. Norman let out a short laugh. "Yeah because we love each other," he said while wrapping one of his arms around me. I leaned into him slightly.

"Yeah but you also wanted this kick..," Mingus glanced over at Brynlee, "a-s-s honeymoon. That means no kids. Go out, have fun, celebrate being married and being together. I can watch Brynlee for you guys to have some alone time. You guys definitely aren't on a typical honeymoon but you guys can at least have one night like it," he said.

Norman's hand was running up and down my arm slowly causing goose bumps to appear. "Are you sure?" I asked him slowly. Mingus nodded. "I'm more than sure. Go have fun. Go be kids," Mingus said. Norman and I both cracked smiles when he said that.

"What are you? 50 years old?" I asked him. Mingus laughed a little. "No, that would be dad," he said with the laugh still in his voice. Norman tried to side swipe Mingus on the head but he easily dodged. "Getting slower with age, are we?" Mingus asked before quickly hopping down off the barstool and making a run through the condo before Norman could say anything.

"That kid, I swear-," "Is definitely yours," I finished for him causing him to let out an airy laugh. "So where do we want to go?" Norman asked me. I shrugged while placing our now empty bowls in the sink. "How about we just go," I said in return. I leaned against the sink.

Norman's eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "Just go? What do you mean?" he asked me. I gave him a small smile. "What if we don't plan anything, let's just get ready and go exploring," I said. Norman smiled in return. "That actually sounds pretty fun," he said.

He hopped down from the barstool and quickly kissed me. He walked past Brynlee and ruffled her hair before I watched him head into the bedroom and shut the door behind him. Brynlee reached her arms out towards me and I quickly picked her up before walking down the hall to her room.

"Do you want to spend the night with Gus while daddy and I go out?" I asked her as I looked for a change of clothes for her. Brynlee got a huge smile on her face and nodded her head eagerly. "After I get you dressed how about you go pick out a couple things for you guys to do tonight," I told her.

Brynlee gave me a small grin. "Otay," she said. I quickly changed her into her new outfit and off she ran to find Mingus. I walked out of her room and into ours that was across the hall. I opened it slightly and popped my head in making sure that Norman wasn't completely exposed before I opened the door all the way.

Norman was standing in front of the closet in just his boxers looking for something to wear. "God, could you put some clothes on, you're too damn sexy," I said walking past him and into the conjoining bathroom. Norman smacked my butt as I walked by.

"Hey!" I squealed as I turned around. Norman gave me a cheeky grin before raising his hands like he was innocent. "Bastard," I mumbled as I turned on the shower and stripped of my clothes. I quickly stepped into the warm shower and let out a sigh of relief as the water hit my back.

"Now look who's being the tease!" Norman called out from the bedroom. I let out a small laugh as I continued to shower. After quickly finishing I stepped out and wrapped myself in a fluffy towel. I noticed that I had clothes sitting on the counter waiting for me.

"Picking out my clothes now, are we?" I called out. Norman popped his head into the bathroom. "Out of all your clothes that you packed those look sexist on you," he said with a wink. I picked up the clothes to examine them. "But this is your shirt," I said while holding up the shirt he picked out.

Norman cracked a smile. "I never said it was specifically your clothes. I mean you did technically pack mine too," he said. I rolled my eyes. "Okay smart ass. Now let me get ready," I said while pushing him out of the bathroom and locking the door behind him.

"Hey!" Norman called from the other side of the door. I opened it back up and just popped my head out. "Yes?" I asked him. Norman leaned in a little closer. "Forgetting something?" he asked me. I thought for second. "Oh yeah, the shirt," I said.

I quickly grabbed the shirt and shut the door again. "Hey!" Norman called out again. I knew that's not what he meant. I let out a quiet laugh before opening the door one more time. "Yes, my love?" I asked him with a smile. Norman shot me a playful glare.

"Kiss me, Mrs. Reedus," he whispered. I opened the door a little further and grabbed him by his shirt which I guess he decided to finally put on. I gently pulled him towards me. He let out a small groan before connecting his lips with mine. The kiss didn't last that long but it was still nice.

"I love you," Norman said as he pulled back. I grabbed the shirt from his hand again. I didn't even notice that he had grabbed it again, but I guess I was too caught up in the moment. "Yeah, I love you too," I said before shutting the door so I could continue to get ready.
