Calling All Skeletons | Closed.

Zacky put the files in alphabetical order into one of the drawers in his desk before he stood up and plugged his laptop in. He opened it and set up the wi-fi so he could check his e-mails, humming softly to himself. Once he'd gotten all caught up on that, he closed his laptop and stood up. He walked out of his office, his brows furrowing when he heard Celeste talking to someone. He'd heard Matt leave with the girls, so unless she was on the phone, he didn't know who she could be talking to. He walked to the kitchen, peeking in. "What's going on in here?" he asked. "Who's that?"

"She's waiting for her sister Prue," Celeste stated. "She said Prue has an appointment with you today." The young girl continued quietly eating her cookie, humming softly in between bites. "Prue probably just left me here," she stated. "She likes making mom mad."

Zacky shook his head. "Nobody came into my office. And I'm unfamiliar with that name," he said. "I can check through my files again, but I definitely don't have a 'Prue.'" He walked over and stood by Celeste. "Uh, do you know when your parents will be back?" He felt extremely awkward having someone else's child in his home, especially someone he didn't know. If it was a relative's kid, it wouldn't be that bad, but this was a stranger's child that he was now responsible for.

Celeste frowned when the little girl got up and quickly walked towards the front door. She followed behind her, shocked when the little girl seemed to vanish out of thin air after she heard the front door open and close. "What the fuck just happened," Celeste mumbled.

"Maybe she was lost?" Zacky mumbled. "I don't know." He looked at her and sighed. "Look, Celeste. This was supposed to be a fresh start for us. I know I hurt you bad, I more than hurt you. But can we please just try to move on and be a family? For the kids? You can hate me all you want, but all I want is their happiness. And yours. Screw mine."

"I wasn't cock blocking you on purpose," Celeste stated. "When I heard the condom wrapped I got flashes of you and her together." The brunette clenched her eyes shut, taking a deep breath as she ran her fingers through her hair. "I fucked up," she mumbled. "I was selfish and mean. I practically have you no other choice but to fuck someone else." The brunette sighed softly, opening her eyes when she was sure she wasn't going to cry. "Maybe we should just admit it," she mumbled. "Maybe us getting married was a mistake."

Zacky frowned deeply at her words and grabbed her hands. "Don't you dare say that," he snapped. "You are my soulmate. And I fucked up. I fucked up big time, but that doesn't mean we should have never gotten married. Because then we wouldn't have our beautiful children. And I wouldn't trade them for the world."

"We were two months pregnant with Cole when we got married Zack," Celeste replied. "And as soon as I held him in my arms the first time I knew I wanted another baby." She moved to hold Zack's hands, running her fingers over his knuckles. "Do you even want more kids with me after what happened to our last baby?"

Zacky looked at her, biting his lip. "I do," he said. "But I figured you didn't. That's why I bought condoms. I wanted to be extra safe." He gently squeezed her hands, pulling them up and setting them on his shoulders before he placed his hands just above her hips. "I never thought I wanted a big family until Cole was born. I was perfectly fine having just one child, but the more I held him and bonded with him, I realized I wanted more."

"I still love you Zack," Celeste stated. "Sometimes I just wonder if I'm even good enough for you." She rested her forehead against his chest, hoping he didn't use her low self esteem against her later.

Zacky frowned. "Of course you are," he said. "You're better than me. You're way out of my league. I don't deserve you." He slid his arms around her and hugged her tightly. "I couldn't believe you actually wanted to go out on a date with me when you said yes. I knew it was a long shot, and I was expecting you to say no, but you surprised me."

Celeste scoffed when Zack said she was out of his league. "I ran with the same crowds as you and Matt did," she stated. "I was a grungey punk kid who has a shitty sense of style." She hugged Zack back, hoping now that they were talking they'd be able to move on.

"You were still the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen," Zacky said. "I was beyond lucky to have you. I still am." He kissed the top of her head, smiling as he gently rubbed her back. It felt so good to have her in his arms again, and for once in what felt like forever, to not be fighting. He pulled back slightly to lean down and kiss her lips.

Celeste kissed Zack back, moaning out softly against his lips when he deepened the kiss. "I want to try again," she mumbled against his lips. "I want you to fuck me."

Zacky looked down at her, nodding his head. He took her hand and pulled her upstairs to their room. He unbuttoned his shirt, taking it off and tossing it onto the ground before he moved to sit on the bed.

Celeste slipped off her top, moving to stand in front of Zack. She looked into his eyes, moving to peck his lips as she ran her hands up his bare chest. "I don't want you to use a condom," she mumbled against his lips."

Zacky nodded his head. "I won't," he murmured, reaching up and gripping the hem of her pants. He unbuttoned them and pulled down the zipper before tugging her pants off. He moved her into his lap, pressing his lips to hers.

Celeste kissed Zack back, moaning softly against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She loved Zack so much and she wanted things to be okay between them again.

Zacky placed his hands on her hips, squeezing them. He moved his hands up her sides and around her back to undo her bra.

Celeste moved her hands down Zack's chest, moving them down to his pants and began undoing his belt and the zipper. "I love you."
