chapter 1 - motion sickness
Itâs been two years since the divorce between Julie and Grayson. A lot has changed. Grayson wants Julie more than ever. Will she take him back?
TW: some of the stuff mentioned in this series might trigger some people. please donât read if you get triggered easily!
âYou need to leave before the boys wake upâ Julie mumbled and Grayson nipped at her neck. It wasnât meant to happen, not in this way. They got carried away â Julie was upset because of Ethan and Grayson just wanted to comfort her. So three episodes of Brooklyn nine-nine and a whole bottle of wine later, they ended up in Julies bed naked and somewhat embarrassed. It wasnât the first time something like this happened, the night Ethan broke up with Julie, she went straight to Grayson. She didnât even think which was why she was so frustrated.
Grayson put Julie through hell and back. With his cheating, drinking and just being a total dickhead. Sheâs been trying to distance herself in the nicest way possible. As you can tell, itâs not going very well.
âHmm, i know you donât want me toâ Grayson hummed kissing down her neck.
âI donât want you to leave, but sebastian knows what sex is. No lying anymoreâ Julie said with a smirk, Grayson groaned and rolled onto the âhisâ side of the bed. It was weird for him to even say that, but he stays over here more than he does his own home. Itâs safe to say, itâs his side of the bed. He wished Julie would let him stay in bed with her, instead of worrying about the boys. Julie is constantly worrying about Alexander and Sebastian, even more than she probably should.
She just doesnât want them to get hurt again. And instead of talking with the boys and her therapist â sheâs keeping it all inside and projecting it on other people. Luckily sheâs made some good friends, so they know all the shit Grayson put her through. Julie met Sarah a couple months ago at a parent teacher meeting. Alexander bit her son â heâs going through a biting phase. Of course Sarah thought it was the funniest thing in the world, and now theyâre both best friends. The same with Alexander and Sarahâs daughter Maria. Alexander gets all blushy around her which is the cutest thing.
Sarah would all kill Julie if she found out she was sleeping with the enemy (the enemy being grayson). Julie had too much whine, and sarah was talking about her divorce, and all it just sort of slipped out. It felt good to have another person to talk to.
âiâll go make breakfast then?â he asked and Julie nodded getting up and pulling her silk dressing gown over her naked body. Grayson was sat up in the bed, watching her every move. âyouâre undeniably sexy, you know that?â Grayson said pulling his boxers on.
Julie grinned and leaned against the bathroom door. âyouâve told me once or twiceâ.
Grayson sighed to himself in content as Julie hopped in the shower. He got up, only his boxers, all of his muscles and tattoos on show. He went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. He had major deja vu. All the fights, the sex, the cheating â this kitchen had seen it all. Grayson is surprised that Julie didnât just up and leave, he really wouldnât of opposed at all. She deserved a happy ending, and Grayson really thought that was with Ethan.
Everyone thought that Ethan and Julie were meant to be after Grayson. That they would get married and do better.
But it was just so much worse.
No Ethan didnât cheat or abuse her emotionally. But he promised. He promised Julie so many things, a happy life was one of them and that just didnât happen. The first job that was thrown his way, he took it and left without so much of explanation. He just came home from the current job he had, ate the dinner Julie and the boys made him and then told Julie that night that he was leaving because he just couldnât handle the pressure of being a dad and having a full time job he didnât love. Of course, Julie was upset â she went straight to the person who fucking cheated on her, thatâs how messed up she was after what Ethan did. And the fact that it wasnât just for a job, it was because he wasnât able to look after children.
Ethan promised marriage, more kids, a new home. And he gave shit, just like his brother. The Dolan twins were a drug, and Julie apparently just couldnât get enough.
âDaddy?â a voice called out by the kitchen door. Grayson turned around with a big green to his youngest boy, Alexander. He had gotten so big after the last two years, his curls more prominent and god was he a tall five year old. Donât get Grayson started on Sebastian â heâs like the tallest 10 year old Graysonâs ever seen. Julie always said they take after their daddy in that department.
âHi, baby. You wanna help daddy make some pancakes for mama and Seb?â Grayson asked flipping a pancake over. Alexander nodded quickly with a smile and ran over to his dad, his favourite pink blanket now on the floor. He put his hands up, and Grayson lifted him up resting him on his hip. Julie raised such good boys, always wanting a cuddle, kiss or hug. Always listening and never fighting. The most mature boys ever. She a really good job, Grayson wished he was around more during those times.
âWhat are you doing up so early, little man?â Grayson asked and Alexander shrugged. âHeard you and mamaâ he said and Grayson pouted.
Alexander nodded resting his head in Graysonâs chest. âyou can sleep some moreâ Grayson murmured kissing his forehead and continued making breakfast. About ten minutes later, alexander was up again helping grayson set the table for breakfast. âgood job, buddyâ Grayson grinned messing up Alexanderâs hair.
Julie walked down the stairs hand in hand with Sebastian, she could smell the pancakes and coffee already. She missed having someone do this for her and the boys.
âHey, honeyâ Grayson said as he saw Julie and Sebastian coming through the kitchen.
Sebastian grinned and hugged his dad before sitting down beside his brother and digging into his pancakes. Julie walked over to grayson who was leaning against the island, drinking his coffee â still shirtless. She smirked and stood beside him.
âwhy donât you stay over again tonight?â She asked and grayson smirked placing a hand on her hip. Julie bit her lip and tried to keep her breathing in check. âiâm going to fuck you so hard, Julie Dolanâ grayson mumbled kissing her neck before walking off to the boys.
Julie blushed and placed her hand on her forehead. Was she flustered or nauseous? Maybe her period was on the way.
Her period..... shit. Julie opened her phone and looked at her calendar counting the weeks down.
She had missed her period. Fuck, this isnât happening. Just went things with grayson were getting good. This has to happened â a pregnancy scare. God really was testing her. Everything was just going so well, there was no stress. They boys are happy in school and at home, they laugh and smile and they rarely cry anymore. Grayson is nicer, less stressed and such a good dad. And julie, julie is feeling amazing, like she was doing something good and right with her life. She had friends, sheâs on the parents council, her and grayson have a good relationship and the boys are better than ever.
Why does this have to happen? They donât need a pregnancy scare right now.
If she was pregnant, she knows it graysonâs as sheâs only had sex with him for the past two months. Not consistently â but he is the only one shes been with since ethan.
âMama?â Alexander called out making julie put down her phone and put on her biggest smile.
âComingâ Julie said taking the coffee Grayson made her over to the dining table where her boys are. Grayson was confused and gave her a look, but julie just smiled shaking her head.
âEat it up, pumpkinâ Julie said pushing Sebastians curls away from his eyes. Grayson smiled looking at his little family. Maybe this time, heâd get them back. No olivia, no drinking, no ethan and no surprises.
Nothing is going to get in the way of him and julie getting back together.
Sebastian and Alexander decided to spend the day with their friends down the road. They have their cousins up for the weekend so theyâre having a bit of a party. Julie and Grayson want them to be out and making friends, so of course they let them go. Sebastian was a little clingy, but Alexander is a little heartbreaker. But once Sebastian saw the bouncy castle, he was ok for you and grayson to leave.
Meaning you and grayson had the house to yourselves for a couple hours.
âWeâve got the house to ourselfâ Julie said as she walked upstairs. Grayson followed after her like a lost puppy.
âWhy donât we take advantage of that?â
Julie took off her dress, dropping it to the ground before leaning on the bed only her matching underwear set, red, just how grayson liked it. Grayson raised an eyebrow and walked over to Julie standing in between her legs. He bent down and placed his lips on hers, Julie whimpered at his touch.
âI bet youâre already soakedâ Grayson whispered dropping his hand to her panties, pulling them down. He hummed to himself as he saw her pussy glistening.
âI was rightâ He smirked as he watched Julie squirm. âtouch meâ she begged and grayson laughed to himself.
âYou donât tell me what to doâ Grayson stated moving away from julie. âNow strip down and move up the bedâ He said and Julie nodded quickly undoing her bra and kicking off her underwear that was already by her ankles. She felt herself down her thighs, god she needed him so much. Grayson took off his shirt and jeans, leaving him only in his black boxers, he crawled up Julies body on all fours, when he reached her stomach he placed a kiss at her belly button, then licked all the way up to her breasts.
Julie felt so vulnerable, somehow Grayson could feel that. So he pecked her lips and whispered âyouâre beautifulâ Julie smiled and pecked his lips. Grayson kissed down her stomach and finally, he was paying attention to Julies sex. âWell, helloâ He mumbled, his breath hitting off of her core making julie moan. He parted her legs even more and buried his head in between them, kissing your thighs and stomach.
âyouâre so fucking wet for me, babyâ Grayson moaned as he slowly ran a finger up her slit. Julie moaned and bucked her hips at his touch. Grayson smirked at julie as began to rub the smallest, softest circles on her clit.
âPlease....â Julie moaned and grayson looked up with a grin.
Grayson pressed himself further into julies body, julie felt his boner through his tight boxers. âi need you grayâ Julie whimpered and that was enough for him. He pulled his boxers off, nearly falling off the bed to get the condoms from the bedside tables. Once he was ready, he smirked at julie teasing her nipples a little.
Grayson placed a kiss on her lips, before easing himself into her. Julie grabbed onto his broad shoulders pushing him deeper into her. âFuck, Julesâ Grayson moaned his head falling back. Julie took this as her opportunity to turn them around so she was on top.
âAlways knew you were a secret domâ Grayson teased, making julie giggle. She eased graysons cock back into her, letting out a loud moan as she began to move up and down on his cock. âfuck, faster julieâ Grayson moaned, his fingers digging into her hips. âso goodâ Julie moaned and Grayson nodded pulling her over so he was on top again. One leg was on his shoulder, the other laying on the bed. Grayson picked up the pace, making Julie scream out loud, becoming dizzy.
âIâm gonna cumâ She moaned and grayson nodded pounding into her.
âCome on, baby, cum with meâ
After both coming down from their climaxes, they both laughed and grayson was in Julies arms. âThis is niceâ Julie said running her fingers through his messy hair. Grayson nodded a kissed her chest.
âI miss usâ Grayson admitted and Julie fit a sharp pain in her stomach, nerves? Butterflies?
No, she was going to throw up. She pushed grayson off of her and ran to the bathroom, spilling her breakfast into the toilet. No, No, this isnât happening. She is not pregnant, sheâs not letting this ruin her relationship.
Grayson picked up his shirt a brought it in with him. Julie was still puking her guts out, so he just put her hair up in a hair band (the best he could) and rubbed her back. She groaned into the toilet, sitting down fully. Grayson put the shower on and helped her in it.
âYou ok?â He asked washing her hair. Julie nodded smiling âthink it was your pancake mixâ she teased and grayson rolled his eyes washing the shampoo out of her hair. He knew her full routine â she has a lot of hair and she likes to look after it. Grayson made sure her learnt it so he could wash her hair for her when she was sick or tired.
He knew it would come in hand one day.
âI think i ate something off, last night. Havenât done the food shop yetâ She explained, not completely lying. Grayson nodded and continued to wash her hair. âI have to head home tonight to get some work done, but i can help you with the food shop tomorrow?â he asked and julie smiled at the offer.
âThat would be nice, grayâ
They stayed in the shower for a little while longer, just enjoying each otherâs company. Grayson had to leave, but he kissed her goodbye and promised he be here early tomorrow morning and not to move a muscle, he didnât need her puking again. Julie had a glow about her, she smiled and wore her dresses again. Her hair was looked after and her skin looked amazing. And it was such stupid silly things, but it meant the world to her. Even last year, a year after the divorce, she still didnât feel herself.
After getting dressed again, she picked up her phone and called sarah.
âHey, i need you to pick me up somethingâ
âyeah, for sure. What do you need?â Sarah asked and Julie closed her eyes leaning against the door.
Sarah didnât say anything for a few second before, nodding to herself. âIâll be there in 10. youâll be ok, whatever the newsâ Sarah reassured before hanging up. Julie dropped her phone on the bed, sighing to herself. She found herself looking in the mirror, imagining how she would look with a little bump now after changing so much.
Stay positive - pun no intended.
Sarah arrived 10 minutes later as she promised pulling out a chocolate bar and a pregnancy test. Julie smiled pulling her friend into a hug. âThank you for doing thisâ Julie said and sarah nodded squeezing her friend. âOf course, Jules, iâd do anything for youâ She whispered and pulled away.
âNow go take the test. And iâm here, whether itâs negative or notâ
Julie walked into the bathroom and took the test, setting 3 minutes timer on her phone. She remembers doing this with alexander and sebastian, she was 19 and 21 if she remembers correctly. And she had no friends, barely had a husband. She was so alone. This time, she has mountains of people and it really doesnât make her feel any better. Julie was a only teenager when she felt pregnant with sebastian, she planned to go to college and get her dream job. Get a big, huge home and then get married. Julie took that pregnancy test in a gas station, by herself. And she cried all night after finding out, set on getting an abortion. But grayson convinced her to keep the baby â they would be a happy family, together.
Well, now sheâs a mom to two kids, divorced, sleeping with her ex husband and had sex with his brother multiple times. Life really couldnât get any better for Julie Dolan.
3 minutes ended and she was too scared to look at the test. âSarah, can you please just read itâ Julie cried and sarah quickly came into the bathroom and looked down at the test.
âYouâre pregnant, Julieâ
