The Long Run

Chapter 15

Lance's POV

I watched her walk over one more time and put the canes away and comes back to me. She surveyed the room one more time and then looked at me. 

"Good?" I ask

She looked one more time and then nodded and looked up at me. 

"alright. You ok with a little suspension?" I ask 

"as long as I can still feel the floor" She says

"You wanna go light tonight?" I ask 

"No i'm ok. We haven't done this since my first year of college" She says smiling softly

I stand there watch her think about those days and she laughs softly. I clear my throat and he eyes snap to mine. 

"Sorry was thinking" She says smiling at me

"I think I know what you were thinking about" I tell her smiling

She steps forward and unbuttons my shirt. She pushes it over and her fingers trace the tattoo over my heart. She steps forward and wraps her arms around me and sighs. i let her have her moment cause I knew she was struggling. I kissed the top of her head and hugged her to me. She pulled back and looked me and nodded. 

"You good?" I ask

"Yeah I'm fine" She says closing her eyes

I ran my fingers down her face and over her neck and collar bone and she shudders. 

"No ripping" she says sternly

"I know baby" I tell her

She nods and sighs as I trail my fingers down her arm again. I grab the bottom her her shirt and she raises her arms and I remove it. Once she was naked I strapped her to the cross. I could see she was tense so I stepped in her view of Justin and Selena and looked at her softly. 

"I can ask them to step out" I tell her

"No i'm ok" She tells me

"You sure?" I ask

"Can I have a blindfold?" She asks

I nod and walk over grabbing one and walking back to her. I slip it over her eyes and she sighs and relaxes. I walk over picking up a flogger and I walk over to her. I run it between her breasts and she shudders. 

"Want me to make you scream? or do you want little whimpers baby?" I ask her roughly

"You choose" She says

I chuckle and I see her stomach muscles tense and I smirk. 

"You two can not interfere. IF you do it can scare her and I don't need that since she is strapped down. She has a safeword is she needs it. Am i understood?" I say to them

They nod and I turn back to Soph. 

"Wait" Selena says

She walks over and ties Soph's hair out of her face.

"Thanks" Soph says

"Of course. I could see you flicking it out of your face" She says

She nods at me and goes over to sit back down. 

"Alright baby you ready?" I ask

She nods and I bring the flogger down on her thigh and she screams and I chuckle. I pop her a few more times with it and then I walk over grabbing a vibrator and I walk over sliding into her in one go and I flick it on high. she screams and I smirk. I pick up n****e clamps and set them on her and she tenses. I grabbed the oil and I drip it across her chest and I rub it in easing her tense shoulders a bit. She was panting and her head was thrown back. I kissed her quick and pulled back and she whimpered. I chuckle and tug the chair connected to the n****e clamps and she arched as much as she could moaning loudly. I picked up the zapper and hit the button and she flinched hard. 

"No" She says

"Sophia" I growl

"Lance I said no" She shouts

 I reach forward and zap her and screams screams squirting everywhere and i smirk. Her head hung as she panted like crazy. I removed everything from her and unstrapped her and she fell into my chest. I carried her over to the bed and laid her down and walked over grabbing the cream so she wouldn't bruise and I rubbed her down. When I looked up she was asleep so I looked over to the other two and they were in shock.

 I chuckle and their eyes snap to me and I smile. 

"She has a pain kink. Nothing to extreme but she likes it." I say 

"She gonna be ok?" Selena asks

"Yeah she won't be out long." I tell them

 I hear a groan and I turn my head to see her coming to. She sat up and hissed. 

"Feel better?" I ask smirking

"Holy s**t" She says rubbing her wrists

I wrap the silk sheet around her and scoop her up and we all head out. Once she was dressed we headed to the living room and her phone rang. 

"Hello" She says

"Hi love" Greg says

"Hello my love" She says smiling softly

"How you doing?" He asks

"I'm ok. Just laying around with some friends" She tells him

"Alright just wanted to check in.  we miss you" He tells her

"I miss you guys to. I will see you soon. And don't destroy my house. Also check in with Grey and my fur babies" She tells him sternly

"Grey is fine. I took him out earlier. As for the fur babies they are laying in front of you bedroom door right now." He says chuckling

"Aw I should have brought them with me" I say sadly

"I can ship them to your next destination." He says

"Really?" I say excitedly

I look at Lance who smiles at me and nods. 

"Of course love. You will just have to pick them up from the kennel." He tells her

"Thank you. Give the boys my love and I'll call you soon" She says

"Will do. Love you baby" He says

"Love you too" She says and hangs up

She smiles and I chuckle and her head snaps up to look at me. 

"What?" She asks

"Nothing. I just like that you have a strong relationship with my siblings" I say shrugging

"They are my brothers than yours. I remember a time or two Greg has kicked your ass because you were a ass" She says giggling

I roll my eyes at her and kiss her temple. 

"Ugh i'm hungry again" She says standing up

She goes in the kitchen and I hear her banging around and then music turns on. I look at the other two and shush them and then I motion for them to follow me. We stand there watching as she cooked and danced around and I could hear her singing. 

"I can feel you all staring" She says quickly spinning around

"How did you do that?" Selena asks

"Oh love I got ear that can hear Lance in a different state" She says winking at her

I chuckle and walk over to her and spin her around and she dances while still cooking. She places the lid on the pan and turns the music up and really starts moving. My hands settle on her hips and I move with her. Wild Thoughts comes on and she smirks and grinds against me and really starts to move. The timer goes off and she steps away and I smack her ass hard. The slap rings through the house but she doesn't even flinch. She turns and looks at me and raises a brow at me. 

"Is your ass made of steel?" Justin speaks up

"No. I live in a house full of mean always playing to much. I'm use to it. Now Lance here could make me cry if he really wanted to though. That's only happened twice" She says 

SOPHIA'S POV

"You deserved it. Your ass did turn a nice shade of red" He says

"twitchy palms" i say winking at him

"I always have twitchy palms around you my love" He says kissing my forehead

I smile and Lost Boy starts playing so I start singing. I loved this song and I smile. I swayed with Lance just singing. He wrapped his arms around me and I laid my head back on his shoulder still singing. His hands splayed across my belly and his thumbs rubbed small circles. 

"who knows. Maybe our little one turned into Wendy" He whispers in my ear 

My eyes well up with tears I turn to face him and they slide down my face. He sighs and pulls me into his chest.

"baby i'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you" He says

"You didn't. It was sweet of you to think of it that way." I mumble into his chest

"You never know my little one could be her Peter Pan"  Selena says

I look over at her and smile softly. I step up the stove and turn off everything and I fix me a plate nd I eat quickly and head upstairs. I change into my bathing suit and head back down and out the back door. i can hear people follow me but I dive off into the water and i swim a ways out. I stop and just float around for a bit. I needed the time to myself and it helped me realize i was still healing and I needed to breathe and relax. 

Three Month time Skip

We had just stepped off the plane and Tom drove us back to the mansion. When I entered the front door I was yanked all kinds of ways. i laugh and hug all the guys back and I smile. 

"we missed you" Lex says

"I missed you guys to. I think i'm gonna go for a ride" I say and walk upstairs

Just as I was changing clothes my phone rang. 

"hello" I say

"Hey babe. I got a question" Justin says

"What's up?" I ask

"Well the CMA's in tonight and I was wondering if you would like to come along" He says

"Are you serious?" I ask

"Of course" He tells me

"I would love to. I need to go buy a dress but I can be ready in time" I say

"Well get going and the limo will pick you up at 5." He says

"Ok. Love you" I say

"Love you" He says

He hangs up and I squeal and run downstairs smiling. 

"What's going on?" Corey asks

"I got invited to the CMA's tonight." I say 

"Have fun" Lance calls 

"Wanna go with me? Not every day I get you in a tux" I say smiling

"Yeah" He calls 

"I'm headed out to get a dress" I shout

"Be careful" He shouts back

"Corey wanna go with me?" I ask

He nods and we head to the mall.  I looked all around and still couldn't find the right dress until Corey held one up and I grinned and nodded. I paid for my dress and grabbed my shoes and I headed back to get ready. I stripped and showered and blow dried my hair and then I softly curled it. I did my make up and then slipped my dress on and then my shoes and I grabbed my clutch and headed downstairs. Lance was waiting on me and when he seen me he done a double take. 

"Limo is here" Corey says walking in

"Woah" Lex says

I twirled and grinned at them and they smiled at me. Lance took my hand and we headed to the limo. The ride was quiet which I was ok with and when we arrived Lance stepped out and Justin made his way over and offered me his hand. I smiled and took it and stepped out. Justin grinned and kissed my cheek and we walked over behind Selena who was taking pictures. I snuck up behind her and posed and then I tapped her shoulder. She spun around and squealed and I giggle at her. SHe hugged me tight and I hugged her back just as tight. 

"Surprise" I tell her

"how?" She asks

"Your boyfriend is amazing" I tell her

"Surprise love" Justin says

"Have I told you how much I love you lately?" She asks

"No not lately" He says joking winking at her

"Thank you" She says

He kisses her forehead and we all pose for a few pictures. We head in and take our seats and the show begins and I smile. Ruth B starts singing lost boy so I start singing as well. We were in the front row so I could really see her. I sang along and Selena held my hand singing with me. Ruth stopped in front of us and finished the song and then she spoke something that brought tears to my eyes. 

"I have decided to start a clinic for mothers who have lost a little one. I'm still deciding on a name but it will be up and running in a few weeks. Someone close to me spoke to me about people they knew who lost a little one. I would love all your support in this new journey. Donations are welcome and it was also be for mothers in abusive relationships that need to get away with their little ones. Selena love would you like to say anything?" Ruth asks

She takes the mic an stands and turns to everyone. 

"hello my loves. You all know i'm the person that talked to our Ruth about this. I lost my little ones years ago. I met someone that made me see differently on the situation and we have become great friends. She lost her little girl recently and we have bonded over it. Now Sophia love is there anything you want to say?" She asks

"Ruth I have the perfect name. Call it Neverland. a place for mothers to grieve and get away and a place for mothers who need a new start" I tell her

"Ladies and Gents we have our name" Ruth shouts

She and Sel hug me tight and I sniffle and everyone starts clapping. We take our seats and I grip Lance's hand tightly and he wraps his arm around me. Cardi B comes on and I starts singing with her and she nods at me and I smile at her. Justin preformed next and he pulled me on stage singing to me and I threw my head back laughing at him. When he finished we walked backstage and I mother was struggling with her baby. I walked over and smiled at her stressed face. 

"May I?" I ask

"Please" She says 

I take the little boy and hold him close and I start singing God Send me a Angel and he quietens down and I sway with him. I feel someone push me along and I just move looking down at the baby and smile still singing. When I was done he was asleep and I looked up to see the whole audience looking at me in awe. I seen them about to clap and I moved forward. 

"If you all wake him I will happily beat you all" I snarl 

Everyone say down and his mom came over and took him and I took my seat. 

"Damn momma bear" a man says from stage

"Don't momma bear me. I just got him to sleep" I say back

He chuckles and the show goes on without a hitch. Once everyone got their awards we headed over to the after party. Wild thoughts started playing so I pulled Lance to dance with me. I sang along and moved along to the beat. I was spun around and Justin pulled me away from Lance and Selena took my spot. I laugh and dance with Justin. The night  moved on and I drank quiet a bit and talked with a few people. When I turned from Justin I seen a b***h pushing up on Lance. Justin's hands landed on my hips and I moved us towards Lance. I still moved with Justin and before I could speak to Lance Selena spoke. 

"Lance honey I think we both need to go find our fiances" She says to the bitch

The girls eyes bug out and I step up and towards Lance and the girl looks shocked to see me. Lance pulls me into him and Selena slides into Justin's arms. Usher's I Don't Mind started playing and I started singing. I moved us closer to the show that Usher was putting on and I smile and move my body with ease. Usher leans down and offers me his hand and I take it and he pulls me on the stage. He backs me up to the pole and I grin and wink at Lance. Some spanks were tossed at me and I slipped them on under my dress. I moved around the pole and come around to stand in front of Usher and sang along while moving my hips. I reached above me and grabbed the pole a spun myself around and dropped back down to my feet. Usher stepped back and nodded and I smile and swung myself up to the top of the poll. I swung myself around the pole and climbed to the top and swung around and dropped sliding all the way down and I stopped before I hit the floor. I stood up and swirled around the pole. Usher tosses a mic at me and I start singing. A chair was brought  out and I pushed him in it to sit and I smiled. I sat in his lap and gave him a lap dance. When the song ended I stood and winked at Lance. Usher wrapped a arm around my shoulders and smiled at me. 

"How did you learn to do that?" He asks

"It's part of my workout routine. I work out six days a week and dancing on the pole is part of that routine." I tell him

"You do it from home?" A few ask from the crowd

"Yes or I go to the studio. One of my friends owns a studio and teaches the pole dancing." I say

"So how do we set it up?" Another asks

"I'll give you her number." I say 

I sway a bit and Usher holds me up and walks me over to Lance. He wraps his huge hands around my waist and lowers me to the floor. 

"Come on cinderella time to go home" Lance says

"Selena come with" I say

"Yeah they are coming to the house love" He says

"Look here b***h" A woman says

"No you look here b***h I ain't got time for your screeching so get the f**k out my face before I make you" I snarl standing up over her

She whimpers and runs off scared. Lance sweeps me off my feet and carries me to the limo. Once we were in the limo the ride home wasn't to long. Lance carried me inside and showed Justin and Sel where they could stay. 

"Come get me if you need clothes. top of the stairs and the big black wooden door is the one you need" I say

They nod and Lance carried me to the bed and sat me down and I fell back sighing. 

"I have missed this bed so much" I say rolling onto my belly

I can feel Lance undoing my dress and then he removes the spanks and my thong and slips my boyshorts up my legs and then he slides his shirt over my head. He takes off my jewelry and places it on the dresser and I stand up and go in the bathroom to remove my make up and I come back sitting down in the window seat turning on my music. Walk away starts up and I sing along. After a few songs Lance comes over and moves me to the bed. I don't know how long I lay there but I fell asleep at some point. When I woke up the next morning I decided to skip the clothes and go down and cook breakfast for everyone. I was in my own little world when arms wrapped around me. I leaned back into the hard chest and sighed. 

"Well hello beautiful" Jack says

"Hi handsome." I mumble back

"Anything I can help with?" He asks

"Go call everyone it's done" I say

He nods and walks off and soon everyone comes down and they all take their seats. I take my seat and Justin and Selena walk in and have a seat. I eat slowly and I sigh and push my plate away and get up and walk away. I go and grab the key and I go and unlock the door and slowly push the door open.  I step in and walk over picking up a pony and sitting down in the rocker. I look around the room slowly and sigh. I rock softly back and forth and I hear the door open. 

"Soph" Lance says

"I'm ok" I mumble

I don't look up at him cause i'm scared to. He sits in front of my legs and we stay quiet. I hummed a little and I could feel Lance tense.

"Sorry" I whisper

He doesn't say anything he just leans against my legs and sighs. 

Jack's POV

I watched them quietly and then I head back down stairs quietly. 

"Listen up she's having a day so everyone watch your words today" I say

Everyone sighs and bows their heads and nod slightly. There is a knock on the door and I go over opening it and see Milly with the kids. She looks at me and I shake my head and she nods and leaves. Lex's girlfriend walks in with their baby and we all tense. 

"I can come back" She whispers

"Of course not. Bring that baby over here" Soph says walking up

Katie hands her over and Soph smiles. we all stay quiet and just watch her. A few hours go by and katie has to leave so Soph hands the baby over and they head out. She heads in the kitchen and music turns on and we hear her bang around. Something shatters and we run in to see a cup smashed on the floor. 

"Jeez you act like I died. I dropped a cup." She says rolling her eyes

I clean it up and get her another one down and she sighs. 

"Who the f**k out the cabinets that f*****g high" She grumbles

"a dumbass" Lance says bringing in a step stool

"Well they need to be fired. Some people are giants" She snaps

"Alright momma get out the kitchen and go for a ride." Lance tells her

She huffs and walks out and we all sigh. 

"Today is gonna be one of them days. yall watch what you say. Give her whatever she wants today" Lance says rubbing his temples

"Noted. I think i'll go with her" Selena says and walks out

Sophia's POV

I turn my music on when i get to the barn. Easy starts starts playing and I smile. I pull Grey out and brush him while singing. Grey's ears perked up and he bumped me and I smiled and still sang along to the music. I swayed back and forth belting out the lyrics. When she song ended I sighed and when i turned around everyone was standing there staring at me. 

"Um Hi" I say

"Holy s**t" Selena says

"what?" I ask

"I didn't know you could sing like that" She says

"Yeah. I've been singing since I could talk" I tell her 

"You sound amazing" Sel tells me

"Thanks" I say and go back to doing what I was doing

I saddle Grey and walk him out. Lance opens the gate for me and I climb up in the saddle and I give Grey a nudge. He starts trotting and then picks up speed. I swing down and hang upside down and then I swing back up. I place my feet him the holes in the saddle and stand up spreading my arms. I sit back down and slow Grey down and I smile and give him a pat. 

"Good job boy" I say leaning forward laying on him

He walks over to Lance who gives him a apple and I smile. I slide off Grey and I sigh and close my eyes and I walk out to the place that broke me. I can feel all eyes on me but I ignore it and continue on. When I get to her grave I sit down and just tilt my head looking at the tiny grave. I run my fingers over her name and smile softly. 

"Hey little girl. Sorry I haven't visited mommy kind broke for a little while. Daddy and I miss you very much." I say softly

The wind blows suddenly and I giggle. 

"Thank you" I whisper looking to the sky

A cardinal lands on her headstone and sigh. 

"Hey babygirl" I hear behind me

The cardinal tilts it's head and then flies away. I feel someone sit behind me and wrap their arms around me. I lean back into his chest and sigh. 

"How you feeling?" Lance asks softly

"better" I say looking over my shoulder at him

"Really?" He asks surprised

"That just helped a lot. I'm never going to be ok with this but being here with you helps" I whisper

"How about a nap?" He asks

"Sure" I say standing

He turns and I jump on his back and he carries me back. When we got into the house there was arguing and I sigh.

"Alright boys what's going on?" I ask

"We were fighting over the last cookie" Corey grumbled 

"Are you f*****g serious? Go stand in the corner both of you. If you wanna act like two year olds i'll treat you that way. And anyone that laughs at them can join them. Now mar when their ten minutes is up you can let them out. I'm going for a nap" i say and stomp off to our room

I slam the door and strip right there and crawl in bed. A few minutes later the door opens and Lance crawls in behind me. 

"If you laugh I will punch you in the balls" I tell him

"Not laughing baby. But you kinda went mama bear and it scared them a bit" he says smirking

"Well they deserved it. Fighting over a f*****g cookie" I snap

"Yeah I know. But babe I would have been right there with them. Those cookies are any mans heaven" He says smiling at me

"I hate you" I grumble

"Lies." He mumbles and kisses me

I sigh and kiss him back and a few minutes later there is a knock on the door. Lance goes over and opens it and Corey and Lex walk in. 

"We are sorry for fighting" They whisper

"A cookie really? Your grown men" I snap

"I know we are sorry" They say again

I smile and they relax and run around the bed kissing my cheek and running out like two year olds.

"I take care of a bunch of two year olds" I grumble flopping back on he bed

"But they are cute" Lance says

"And my man is the biggest kid ever" I say into the pillow

"But you love me" He whispers in my ear

"Most days I wonder why" I say

I can feel him chuckle and I smile. I felt him kiss down my neck and I moaned softly. 

"Let me help you sleep" He whispers against my skin

He slowly made his way down my body til his face was buried between my thighs. It didn't take long before I came with a scream that had him chuckling and smirking with pride. I sighed and my eyes felt heavy and I felt him kiss my forehead. 

"Sleep now my love" He says

That's the last thing I heard before I slipped off into dreamland. I don't know how long I slept but I woke up panting and scared to death. I jumped up getting dressed and running down to the docs office. when I walked in he jumped up.

"What is it sweetheart?" He asks

"I think i'm pregnant" I say wincing

"Well let's get you to pee in this cup and let's find out" He says handing me the cup

My hands were shaking so bad he grabbed them and I looked at him and he nodded. I stepped over and walked into the bathroom closing the door. When I finished my business I walked back to the doc who ran the test. When he got the results he came over to me and sat down. 

"Sweetheart you are pregnant. Now I want you to get on the table and lay down and let me have a look. I promise we will take every precaution." He tells me

I nod and lay down and he gets to work on a ultrasound. 

"Well look at that." he says

"What?" I ask looking at the screen

"Your four almost five months pregnant. You can find out in two weeks what your having" He tells me

I nod and he prints me off pictures and I thank him and leave. I hide the pictures and call for Lance. When he comes in he sits on the bed with me and I face him.

"Have you thought about kids since you know?" I ask

"Yes I have. I still want kids. We had a freak accident but I do want them baby" He says

I sigh and nod and reach over picking up the pictures and handing them to him. He looks them in shock then at me and I smile. 

"I'm almost five months. I had no idea. Doc said we are both perfectly fine. I didn't wanna believe it but I had this weird dream and I woke up scared. It was of our babygirl and she was telling me to go to the doctor" I tell him

He looked at me in shock and then smiled and kissed me hard. When he pulled back his face softened even more cause he could see my scared look. 

"I do not want you leaving the grounds while your pregnant. Not once Sophia I mean it. So help me god if you do I will personally chain you in the basement" He tells me

"Alright" I whisper

I get up and offer him my hand and we head downstairs. 

"i need everyone's attention" I call out

everyone comes in and takes a seat and I sigh and look at Lance. 

"Don't tell me your leaving" Corey says

"NO babe i'm not leaving. And I need you all to keep a open mind and don't tackle me" I say

"Ok love what's going on?" Lex asks

"I'm pregnant" I say

They all gasp and their jaw drop. 

"How far?" Lex asks

"almost five months. I had no idea" I say

Lex stands and walks over to me and hugs me tight. He drops down to his knees and raises my shirt and kisses my belly softly. 

"I'm happy for you love. And you in there don't give momma to many problems" He says

I laugh and he pulls my shirt down and all the guys stand to hug me. 

"we need to clear out the nursery" Someone says

"NO. that is her room and it will remain her room. This one will get it's on." Jack says behind me

I turn and look at him and he opens his arms and I walk over and hug him. I sigh and walk back over to Lance and lean into him. 

"Once we find out what i'm having I wanna have a gender reveal party and invite everyone over." I say

"Ok love." Lance says

The dogs run in and come at me and Lance goes to yell but they stop and walk up to me and sniff my belly. They start whining and looking up at me and I smile. 

"Yeah babies there is a baby in there." I say petting them

They lick my face and I giggle and when I look up I see all the guys smiling at me. 

"What?" I ask

"Nothing babe. We just like see you smile" Greg says

I smile and walk over to him and hug him. I started swaying and he moved with me and I smiled to myself cause he always done this with me. 

"I need to go to the office and get someone in to be in the office while i'm working from home" I say 

"we can go now and grab dinner on the way back" Greg says

"Greg" Lance says

"Don't worry I got her." He tells Lance

I smile an d walk over and kiss him softly and smile at him when I pull back. 

"Don't worry. I'll be fine." I tell him

"I just worry" He whispers

"Baby i'm going to be fine. I can't hide just cause we are scared" I say

He sighs but nods and kisses my forehead. 

"I love you" He says

"I know" I say smiling
