Two years later...
Alex woke to the sunlight streaming in through the bedrooms windows. Stretching lightly, she rolled onto her side to look at her beautiful wife. So much had changed over the last couple of years, and Alex had no one to thank more for it than Casey.
After Nicholas's death, Alex resumed her identity except she took back her maiden name before taking Novak. Additionally Kale, legally changed his name wanting nothing to do with his late father, and after they were married, Casey legally adopted him. They toyed with the idea of returning to New York, but in the end decided that they enjoyed the smaller life they had now and didn't want to disrupt Kale's life by pulling him away from his friends.
So, they moved out of Casey's house to shed the last of Nicholas and into an old farmhouse that had been fixed up. It was a beautiful home with lots of French doors and a wrap around porch. Plus, it sat on a gorgeous piece of land with a creek bordering one side and a garden on the other. Life seemed perfect in this house, and Casey and Alex wasted no time adding to their family.
After almost two years of being together, they decided to adopt. They liked having a more flexible life and decided to adopt an older child versus having a baby. So, after talking with the local agency they ended up fostering their soon to be younger son, Ben.
Ben was a happy five year old, and he adored Kale. He truly seemed to mix perfectly with their family. The dark haired tan skinned child, had been placed in the system as a young toddler and due to medical issues at the time hadn't been placed with a family, so in a way he was just as happy to have them as they were to have him. Casey and Alex enjoyed nothing more than watching their boys run in the yard with Jake, or playing in the creek with them hunting salamanders. Life seemed quite perfect.
Seeing Casey, roll over Alex grinned. They were both still naked from their activities the night before and no one was awake yet. Moving to Casey's side, she began kissing down the redheads neck as she lightly brushed her thumb over an exposed nipple. Earning an appreciative sigh, Alex smiled against Casey's collarbone before continuing her descent.
As she reached the hard bud, she placed a soft kiss to it before flicking her tongue over it and sucking it into her mouth, earning a gasp in response as Casey arched her back and grasped Alex's head. Her reaction made Alex want to take her right then, but she wanted to go as slow as possible for the minute. Slowly, she kissed over to the other nipple teasing it just as much, before kissing her way back up to capture Casey's lips in a passionate kiss.
As they parted Alex pushed up, being sure to press herself against Casey to drive them both a little mad. Casey grinned at her blonde wife as she ran her hands up her exquisite body to cup her breasts and rub her thumbs over her sensitive nipples. As Alex's breath caught in her throat, Casey whispered, "I want you."
"Yeah? How?" Alex asked as Casey rolled them over and sucked a nipple into her mouth, teasing it till Alex was moaning softly. Moving to the other, she waited till the blonde was begging for more to break away and ask, "What do you want, Alexandra? Tell me and I will do it."
Alex smirked at Casey. She loved how the redhead liked to steal control in their love making. "Mouth, I want you to make me come with your mouth."
Casey wasted no time kissing down the blondes body and settling between her legs. Seeing just how wet Alex was for her made her gasp a little in excitement as she moved in and slowly ran her tongue through the blonde. After a few long licks of her tongue that made Alex whimper, Casey began to work her clit, loving how Alex instantly grasped for a handful of her hair.
The feeling of Casey's talented tongue working her clit had Alex mumbling incoherently. Reaching the edge, she quickly came panting Casey's name. Casey helped her ride out her orgasm before slowly pulling away and kissing her way back up her wife's body.
Kissing Alex lazily, Casey said a silent prayer of thanks for her wife. Feeling Alex's hand brush her own swollen clit, Casey gasped against her lips. "I want to make you come," Alex whispered.
Casey let out a small laugh as she smiled against her wife's lips. "Then do."
Alex wasted no time and easily slipped two fingers into Casey, finding that spot and moving against it fast enough to give Casey pleasure, but not enough to make her come. It took only a minute or two for Casey to beg, "Please, please make me come."
Alex didn't make her beg again, she instantly sped up and rubbed her clit with her free hand. Casey couldn't control herself as she came a little to loudly moaning Alex's name and bucking her hips. Alex loved making Casey come, to see her in that state of pleasure was breathtaking. Then again, she loved making love to her wife in general.
Casey collapsed onto the bed next to Alex nothing more than a panting mess. Seeing the grinning blonde, she smiled. "I love you, Lexie."
"I love you too, Casey." Alex smiled. "Let's get a shower and make the kiddos breakfast."
"Sure," Casey mumbled against the percale sheets.
Late that afternoon, Alex and Casey sat snuggled together on the porch swing watching Kale teach Ben how to kick a soccer ball. The sun was fast moving behind the mountains causing the sky to begin to change different shades of blue while at the same time making the grass and trees look greener. Moments like these made life seem absolutely perfect, like nothing bad had ever happened in their lives.
Looking at her wife, Alex kissed Casey's cheek. "I love you, Casey. I am so happy I get to spend my life with you."
Smiling, Casey touched her forehead to her wife's, "I thank God everyday for you."
Alex lightly kissed her wife again, "I thank him too everyday for you. I am sorry we missed the years we did, but I am so thankful that we get to spend the rest of our lives together with our children."
"Me too. When we were in law school I never imagined our lives would be like this, but I am happy this is the way it turned out."
Alex frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I thought we'd be big time prosecutors and live in the city. However, I love our lives. I love that you like being a mom and I love teaching. I love spending long uninterrupted holidays together and getting to visit New York, but not live there. I love grilling out and watching our kids play in the yard. We wouldn't have had this life without the events that happened, but I am happy how everything turned out for us." Casey explained.
"I agree. I love this life so much better. I just love getting to live for myself and getting to really spend quality time as a family."
"Exactly. I love you and our life." Casey laughed jumping up, "Let's go live it with a game of soccer."
"I couldn't have said it better!" Alex exclaimed jumping up and running out into the yard before Casey.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Casey yelled running after them. She laughed, thinking, 'Life really couldn't be any better than this...'
