Fireproof (Book 4 in the No Control Series)

Liz and Liam wait for the doctor in his office. It’s Liz’s six week check up and the doctor will have her latest test results.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Payne.”
“Hello, Doctor.” Liz replies.
“Is Liz alright?” Liam asks.
“Do you two have plans for more children?” The doctor asks.
Liz and Liam look at each other. “Not at the moment, but we haven’t completely ruled it out. Why?” Liz asks.
“Liz, your medical issue will only be a problem if you want to have more children yourself.”
“I don’t understand.” Liam asks, frustrated.
“I’m sorry, let me explain. The way things are right now, you wouldn’t be able to carry a baby. There is a surgery, but it’s rather extensive.”
“So I need surgery again?”
“Honestly, Liz, if you don’t plan on having more children, I’d avoid the surgery.”
“She’ll be fine without the surgery as long as she doesn’t become pregnant?” Liam asks.
“Correct. I’m going to give you some material to read. I want you two to talk it over and we’ll meet back up in a couple weeks.”

“You alright, Beautiful?”
“Why do I feel so confused every time I leave that doctor’s office?”
Liam smiles. “Me too, Love.” He pulls Liz into his arms, kissing the top off her head. “Let’s go pick up the kids, we’ll talk about this later.”
“Sounds good, Handsome.”
“At least he gave us the go ahead for sex.” Liam smirks.
“Thank God.” Liz grins.

Back at the house, Liz and Olly sit in the shade watching Liam and Ella in the pool. Liz listens to their sweet conversation. Ella’s adorable English accent is becoming so prominent. Liz looks down at Olly. “I guess Daddy was right, I’ll be the only one who speaks “funny”.”
Olly coos, as if in agreement with his father.
“Oh sure, Olly, take your daddy’s side.” She grins as she tickles Olly’s tummy.
Liz picks up her phone, calling her friend Sara’s number. No answer. She doesn’t leave a message, already having left a few. Next she tries a facetime call with Harry, so he can see Olly. No answer from him either. He usually answers Liz’s calls without fail.
“Hmm, Olly, do you think they are avoiding me?”

Liam and Ella come and join them in the shade.
“What’s wrong, Love?” Liam asks.
“I just haven’t been able to get ahold of Sara lately. It’s strange.”
“No great loss.” Liam says stiffly.
“Liam.”
“Sorry, Babe. I just don’t think she's as good of a friend as you believe she is.”
“Mummy. Ice cream?” Ella asks.
Liz grins. “You and Daddy go get changed. Olly and I’ll get it ready.”
Ella jumps up and down, excited. “Hurry, Daddy.”

Olly watches Ella eat her ice cream from his swing.
“You want some ice cream, Handsome?”
Liam comes up behind Liz, wrapping his arms around her waist. “I had something else in mind for dessert.” He whispers in her ear.
Liz smirks. “I like how you think, Payno.”
“I’ve missed being with you, Liz.”
“I’ve missed that too, Liam.”

Liz lays on their bed, waiting. Liam walks in the bedroom, shutting the door behind him.
“They both down?” Liz asks.
“Yes. I thought you’d have a lot less clothes on, Babe.”
Liz smirks. “I thought you might like to handle that for me.”
Liam grins. “Hell yeah I do.”
Liz giggles as he jumps on the bed.
Liam pulls her shirt over her head, tossing it across the room. Next he helps her wiggle out of her shorts, before removing his own clothes.
He lays beside her, looking her up and down. “Damn, you are so perfect, Liz.”
She lays her hand alongside his face. “Even after two children? You still like my body?”
Liam smiles sweetly. “Love, more than ever. Your body looks even better than it did before.”
Liz bites her lip. “Maybe you could show me how much you like it.”
Liam smirks. “It will be my pleasure.” He kisses her neck, then looks in her eyes. “Actually, it will be your pleasure too.” He winks.
Liz laughs as his kisses return to her neck.
Even though they both are beyond ready for this, Liam takes his time. Arousing every inch of her body until she’s begging him to enter her.
Liam moves above her, watching the pleasure light up her eyes. “I’ve missed this, Beautiful. I love you.”
Liz is close to the edge, but she manages a breathless. “I love you more.”
