Chapter Three

Christmas Tree Farm

Mulder and Scully go to a Christmas tree farm, where Mulder can participate in a manly activity, and cut down his own tree.

4c/15

Mulder parked the car, looked over at Scully with a grin, and she had to resist the urge to roll her eyes at his excitement. It was amazing how happy he was at the prospect of coming to a tree farm and cutting down his own Christmas tree.

“This is gonna be great, Scully. Picking out our own tree, cutting it down with my own hands, the smell of pine in the air,” he said, taking a big sniff. He nodded his head and rolled his neck. This time, she could not stop her eyes from rolling.

She opened the glove box and began searching around. She took out maps, tissues, and cd’s. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

“Where is the first aid kit, Mulder? I know I put one in here. I want to have the gauze and bandages on me for when we will inevitably need them,” she said, in a joking tone.

He laughed and leaned over to kiss her, before pulling back and smiling at her. She grabbed his coat and pulled him back for a more thorough kiss, causing him to catch his breath when he leaned back again. He stared at her and shook his head, looking at her lips as she laughed.

She put everything back in the glove box and shut it, looking at him and smiling. He shook his head, opened the door, and stepped out.

“Should we take the stroller?” he asked, popping his head back in the car.

“No, it would be too hard to push around here. I’ll put her in the wrap,” she said, opening her door and stepping out.

She buttoned up her coat, put on her beanie, and opened the back door. Faith was sleeping, her cheeks rosy. Scully smiled and grabbed the wrap she needed. She wrapped it criss-crossed over her body, getting it ready for the baby. She then unbuckled Faith, waking her slightly as she took her out of the seat.

“Hey, little love,” she whispered, holding her and kissing her before sliding her into the wrap. Faith laid her cheek against Scully’s chest as Scully pulled the wrap to cover her head, turning her head to one side, situating Faith against her chest, bouncing and shushing her as she moved around a little before settling against Scully, and going back to sleep. She stepped back and closed the door, ready to go get their tree.

Mulder stood waiting for her with the backpack on, and shook his head. “Every time I watch you do that, it never ceases to amaze me. How you figure it out so easily. Last time I tried, I was sweating and angry before I finally gave up,” he said, as they started walking to the entrance of the tree farm.

“Oh, I remember,” she said with a smile. “I was treated to a litany of swearing and complaining.” She hooked her arm through his and they both laughed.

It was cold out, but nice to be doing something away from home. They had been inside a lot since the baby was born. She took a deep breath and let the scent of pine trees invade her senses. It was quiet out among the trees and she liked it.

“You folks looking for a tree?” Came a booming voice to the left of them. They both turned and saw an older man dressed for the cold weather, smiling at them. “Name’s Howard, this is my place.”

He stepped forward and shook their hands. He looked at Faith and smiled, then gestured for them to follow him. He and Mulder fell into easy conversation as they walked. Scully smiled as she listened to the “manly men” discussing what kind of tree they wanted. She really did not care, she was just happy to be out of the house.

She put her arms around Faith, speaking to her in a quiet voice as they walked. She told her of the trees, the scent of them and the memories associated with it, of Christmas mornings in the past and her grandparents who would have spoiled her and loved her very much. She stopped speaking and blinked away her sudden tears. She missed her parents, especially her mother. She felt in the pocket of her coat for the quarter on the chain she carried with her everywhere. One day, she would figure out the significance it held to her mother and until she did, she carried it with her. A reminder to not give up and keep pushing forward.

Mulder and Howard had stopped beside a tree, discussing the height of their room at home and how easy it would be to get the tree inside and set up on his own. Scully walked up, dropping the quarter back into her pocket and holding onto Faith again.

“What do you think, Scully?” Mulder asked, his eyes shining as he pointed at the tree to her right. She looked at it and shook her head.

“Mulder, that tree is taller than you, we don’t need a tree that tall. I won’t be able to help you, as Howard was kindly trying to imply, and I’m sure it will be hard to set up on your own,” she said, nodding at Howard and he smiled. “I think we should get a tree about five feet? That would be better. We could put it on something if we needed, but I think a smaller tree is better.”

Howard smiled wider and clapped Mulder on the back. “See that? That’s a smart woman right there! Logical and no nonsense. Reminds me of my wife who works in the little house where you will be paying for the tree. We have free hot cocoa and cider in there. Also some homemade treats, and crafts for sale. It’s warm and cozy in there, so you can see she’s got the brains in this relationship,” he said with a full belly laugh. Scully liked him immensely and joined in with his laughter.

“A warm little house you say?” she asked him and he nodded, smiling at her. “I may need to check it out, just to be sure it’s as great as you say,” She smiled and rubbed her hands across Faith’s back.

“You shouldn’t be out in the cold, with that wee one,” he said nodding toward Faith. “We can find the tree you want, I know just what you need.”

He turned toward Mulder and inclined his head to the left, suggesting they head that way. “The lady has spoken, let’s go do her bidding,” he said with a wink at Scully.

She grinned and Mulder looked between the two, like a person watching a tennis match. He shook his head and took off the backpack, handing it to her. He stared at her and she smiled again.

“Go on. Go get your hands dirty and cut down the tree. Howard, keep an eye on him, I want him to come back with all his fingers,” she said, putting the backpack on one shoulder.

Howard laughed again and they walked off to find their perfect tree. Mulder turned around and quickly jogged back, kissing her and then Faith. She laughed as he walked back to join Howard, waiting until they had left her sight before turning to the right and looking around. She saw smoke coming from a short distance and figured that must be the little house. Good, she thought, she would need to feed Faith soon. Hopefully there would be a spot she could do it in there and not have to sit in the car.

She walked through the massive amount of trees to the little house and smiled when she saw it. It was made to resemble a gingerbread house and it was adorable. She stepped up to the door and pulled it open. Warm, delicious smelling air hit her as soon as she walked inside. She stood inside the room and closed her eyes briefly, breathing deeply.

She looked around as she walked in further. There were ornaments, clocks, hand painted signs with cute sayings, woodland animals, Christmas trees, nutcrackers, angels, snowmen, santas, and nativity scenes. All the items were homemade and hand painted. Garland, holly, and wreaths were everywhere in the room. A red sleigh type couch sat on one wall, beautifully wrapped gifts under a tree, and a fake window on the wall created a perfect picture spot. There was also an old fashioned pot bellied stove, letting off wonderful heat. Scully smiled and set the backpack next to the couch as she continued to look closer at the items in the room.

A door opened to her right and a woman who could be a dead ringer for Mrs. Claus walked into the room. She did not have the old fashioned cap, nor the gold rimmed glasses, but everything about her was spot on. She was short, big bosomed and plump, with white hair set in an old fashioned style. She wore a white apron over a red turtleneck and a pair of black pants.

She stared at Scully and set down the things she held in her hands. “My goodness, you gave me a fright! No one was in here when I left and I didn’t hear you come in. Hello there,” she said with a big smile.

Scully laughed and stepped closer to her. “We’re picking out a tree and your husband mentioned that there was a warm little house with homemade items inside, and I couldn’t see a reason to not investigate it. He also mentioned there was cocoa and cider, and I can’t lie that it was one of the main reasons I came in here,” she said, smiling at the woman.

She laughed and extended her hand. “My name is Betty, and my husband was correct. I’m sure he mentioned the treats to tempt you in from the cold, especially for that little one,” Betty said, with a glance at Faith as she shook Scully’s hand. “He’s always had a soft spot for children and I’m sure he fell in love with yours on sight.”

Scully laughed, holding onto Betty’s hand. It was soft and felt like a hand that had baked millions of cookies and soothed many hurts. Close up, she had deep brown eyes with laugh lines set around them. She was the picture that perfectly described a person as a “grandma to all.”

“I’m Dana,” Scully said, letting go of her hand, and rubbing Faith’s back. “And this is Faith. I was wondering if there was a bathroom where I could change her and possibly a room or area where I could nurse her? She’s going to need to eat soon and I’d rather not sit in the car, if it’s possible. We had planned to be home before she needed to eat again. This was somewhat of an impromptu trip out here.”

“Oh, my dear, please yes. Feel free to sit on the sofa there, unless you would like a more private area. If that’s the case, you can use the office. The bathroom has a baby changer in it, so that’s not a problem. Let me help you with whatever you need,” Betty said, bustling about, picking up the backpack Scully had set down.

Scully laughed quietly. “She’s not quite due yet, but I thank you for the use of your office. It would be nice out here, but just in case someone shows up, I’d rather not be out for all the world to see,” she said, smiling at Betty, causing her to laugh.

Betty walked to the door she had entered from and motioned Scully toward her. She opened the door, Scully following her inside. When she crossed the threshold, she gasped. It was not like any office she had ever been in before. Not even like their old office with all its eclectic items and papers everywhere.

It was like a living room. There were cozy overstuffed chairs, a loveseat, two desks piled high with papers, wooden items in the process of being made or painted, pictures were all over the walls, shelves full of items, and a train track attached to the ceiling that ran the length of the room. Christmas music played softly and a heater must be on somewhere because it was toasty and warm in the room.

“Wow, now this is an office,” Scully said softly, looking around, taking it all in. Betty laughed quietly and set the backpack on the coffee table by the chairs. Scully walked over to her, watching the Christmas train wind around the room.

She looked at Betty, her eyes wide. “Please do not let my... partner, my fiancé, come in here. Oh my god... this would be our home all the time. As beautiful as it is, our home is already too full of his stuff.”

Betty laughed and nodded. Scully began to take Faith out of the wrap and she stretched and grunted as she did. Betty exclaimed over her as she watched Scully shift her about.

“My my, isn't she a beautiful little thing? You forget how small they are when you don’t see them every day. Our oldest great granddaughter is almost five and I don’t know if we’ll have anymore in the family,” Betty said, smiling at Faith.

“Would you like to hold her?” Scully asked with a smile. Betty’s eyes lit up and she nodded. Scully handed her over and Betty smiled at her and began to talk to her as she rocked slightly.

Scully smiled as she watched her, untying the wrap and taking off her coat. It was comical to her how every person who held a baby unconsciously began to rock their body. It must be ingrained from birth. She took off her beanie and laid it with her coat and the wrap on the couch. She smoothed down her hair as she turned and watched Betty holding the baby. She was surprised to find tears in her eyes as she looked down at her.

“Are you okay? Would you like me to take her back?” Scully asked, stepping close to her.

“No, no. Don’t mind me, I’m a crier. She’s just so small and beautiful. Her whole life is ahead of her, with the possibilities of what she could become, especially in this day and age. She has so much to look forward to in her life,” Betty said, taking a breath. She looked up at Scully, tears in her eyes. “She’s going to be amazing, I just know it.”

Scully smiled at her. She took out the few items she needed from the backpack and held onto them, watching Betty talk to Faith.

“Okay, I’m sure you’re hungry now little one, I’ll give you back to your mama." She held her close to her chest for a second and closed her eyes. When she opened them, she looked at Scully. “I hope you don’t mind, I said a quick blessing for her. I noticed your necklace as you took off your coat, and I thought a simple blessing would be okay- one for health, happiness, and love.”

Scully froze and her eyes filled with tears. It was such a simple sweet gesture, innocent really, but it recalled a memory that was like a punch to the gut.

The day before Spender came to take William to his adoptive family, her mother had come over and asked for some time alone with him. Scully had left them in the living room, quietly weeping as she walked out. Minutes that could have been hours later, her mother had found her lying on the floor in her bedroom. William was asleep in her mother’s arms, and Scully sat up and clung to her. They wept together, the baby Scully had prayed and yearned for, between them.

Her mother whispered words of comfort to her, that in that moment, fell on deaf ears. There was no comfort, no happiness, only crushing sadness that hurt to her very soul. After they had calmed down enough to make sense of the others words, her mother had kissed William’s cheeks and touched him in the sign of the cross.

“Health, happiness, love, and protection.”

Her mother managed to get out before they both broke down again. They had cried until they both were drained, her mother holding her until she stopped. She had stayed and cared for her that night, helping with William, running her a bath, brushing her hair, and rubbing her back when she went to bed. Just as when she was a child, her mother's care had brought her comfort.

Tears fell down her face as she thought of that night. Betty took a step close to her and pulled her into her arms. Scully wrapped her arms around her and cried, pulled into the warm embrace of a mother. She missed her own mother so much, and for just this moment, it felt as if she had her back. Betty hummed and patted her back, rubbing her hand up and down. Scully cried into her shoulder, not caring that this was a complete stranger, because it did not seem that way to her. It felt as if this woman had somehow been sent by her mother and she would not turn away a gift so wonderful.

She began to calm and Betty still held her. Scully pulled back and wiped her eyes. She looked at Betty and saw she had tears in her own eyes and a kind smile on her face.

“I’m so sorry,” Scully whispered. “I don’t usually cry in front of people like that, or hug complete strangers.” She gave a crying laugh and took a deep breath. She looked at Betty and she handed Faith back to Scully, who held her close and kissed her head.

Betty walked to her desk and grabbed a box of tissues. She held them out to Scully and then took one for herself. Scully held Faith with one hand as she dabbed her eyes and blew her nose. She sniffled and then blew her nose again. She looked at Betty and gave her a shaky laugh. Betty smiled kindly at her and then touched her arm.

“Sometimes, we’re most truthful with strangers. We usually won’t ever see them again, so we let our guards down. You obviously needed that cry, and there is no shame in tears,” Betty said, her eyes kind. “Why don’t you feed her and I’ll get you some hot cocoa? I find that chocolate always helps to cure what ails us.”

Scully gave another shaky laugh and nodded. Betty squeezed her arm and turned to leave the room. She got to the door and smiled at Scully, before stepping out and closing it. Scully sighed and shook her head. She wiped her eyes once more and tossed the tissue in the trash.

She sat down on the overstuffed chair and opened her shirt and bra. Faith was definitely hungry, as she settled in right away, making satisfied sounds as she ate. Scully smiled and held her hand, kissing her tiny fingers as she watched her.

She let go of her hand and leaned her head back against the chair. She thought of what Betty said about having no shame in tears. Well, she thought with a laugh, she had cried enough tears in the past six weeks to last for quite awhile. She took another deep breath and closed her eyes.

Faith stirred after a couple minutes and unlatched from her breast. Scully opened her eyes and looked down at her.

“Hey, love. What are you doing?” she said quietly. “I know you’re still hungry.” She smiled at her, rubbing her back, Faith staring back at her. She moved her little arms and then smiled, a real smile.

Scully’s breath caught in her throat. She could not stop more tears from forming as she smiled back at Faith. She stared up at Scully, smiling once more, before trying to return to nursing. Scully helped her to latch on again and then cried as she held her close.

“Oh, my sweet girl,” Scully whispered. “Wait until your daddy knows about you smiling. He’s going to be so happy.” She rubbed her back, her eyes closed as she cried.

She moved her to her other breast and adjusted her bra, covering herself. She stroked Faith’s cheek as she nursed and shook her head as she watched her. The door opened quietly and Betty stepped inside. She smiled at Scully, her hands holding a cup of hot cocoa and a plate of something. She set it down on the coffee table and reached for the tissue box.

She handed the box to Scully and she laughed. “I’m a mess, I know,” she said as she wiped her eyes.

“No,” Betty said kindly. “You’re a mother and tears are part of the job description. There is some fudge there, and a couple of cookies. Your husband and mine have just traipsed back in and are now tying your tree to your car. You’ve got some time.” She smiled at Scully again before she left the room.

Scully smiled at her kindness and continued to nurse Faith. She wiped at her eyes again and blew her nose, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She looked around the room at all the items she missed the first time. Little wooden dolls, snow globes, coffee mugs, and jolly Santa faces on almost everything. She smiled and Faith stopped nursing.

She took her from her breast, covered up, put a burp cloth over her shoulder, and laid Faith against it. She patted her back and waited for her to burp. When she did, she put down a changing pad and changed her on the sofa. She threw out the dirty diaper and sat back on the sofa with Faith.

She reached for the cocoa on the coffee table and sat back. She rubbed Faith’s belly as she drank her cocoa. It was delicious and so was the fudge and the cookies. When she was done, she put her coat back on and rewrapped the wrap around her body. She picked up Faith and put her back inside of it, packed up the items she used, and picked up the backpack.

She walked out of the office and heard Mulder laughing. She smiled at the sound and went to find him. He was standing with Howard, warming himself by the pot bellied stove. His eyes lit up at the sight of her and came to take the backpack from her. He put it on and wiggled all his fingers at her, showing her he had no injuries. She laughed as he leaned down for a kiss.

“Did you find a good tree?” she asked, as he looked at Faith and smiled as he stroked her cheek.

“Oh yeah,” he smiled, looking in Scully’s eyes. “It’s perfect.” She smiled back and kissed him again.

Betty came into the room, offering Mulder a cup of cocoa. She caught Scully’s eye and smiled. Scully smiled back and then began to look around the room.

By the time they left, they had three bags full of different items. Tree decorations, nutcrackers, a nativity scene, different Santa items, snowmen, angels, and two wreaths. Howard had filled the bags, waving them away, filling them with whatever he grabbed. Betty took some tree decorations and set them aside. She wrapped them carefully as she added other items, and also included some of her fudge and cookies.

Scully smiled the entire time they were together in that happy little house. Howard and Betty were fun and it was impossible to not smile when she heard Howard laugh. After her tears in the office, the laughter was more than welcome.

Mulder coerced her into taking a picture on the sled sofa, as he held Faith in his arms. Scully smiled and laughed, happy to be in this moment with Mulder, living a normal life, the way she always wanted. Mulder whispered in her ear as they were finished with the picture, how much he loved her and he loved seeing her so happy.

They paid for their items, although Scully knew they were not charged full price. Howard threw in a tree stand when Mulder turned panicked eyes to Scully and asked if they had one. They had never had a true tree in their home, so they had nothing a regular couple might have. Howard laughed and grabbed the stand and a bag of their things, Mulder grabbing the others.

Howard walked with them to the car and loaded the back with their things. He shook Mulder’s hand and wished him a merry Christmas. He held Scully’s hand and said the same to her, including she keep an eye on “that beauty.” Scully smiled and thanked him.

Betty followed out with travel mugs they had definitely not purchased. She waved them away when Mulder took out his wallet. She handed them each a mug and Scully could smell hot cocoa. She pulled Betty in and hugged her.

“Thank you for everything,” she whispered to her, thinking of her mother at the same time.

Betty held her as close as she could with Faith between them. She pulled back and smiled at her, holding Scully’s arms. She nodded at her and then touched Faith over the wrap.

“She’s going to change the world,” she whispered to Scully. Scully nodded and smiled, grasping Betty’s hand.

Scully stepped back and took Faith from the wrap and buckled her in her car seat. She heard Mulder and Howard laughing over something and then their goodbyes. He went to the driver's seat and started the car. Scully covered Faith and then got in the passenger seat.

Betty was standing with Howard, their arms around each other. Scully waved at them as Mulder backed the car up. They waved back as they drove away. Scully smiled as she watched them in the side mirror. She sighed, sitting back in her seat.

She heard Mulder softly chuckle and she looked over at him. He glanced at her and smiled. She looked at him, tilting her head. He shook his head and reached for her hand.

“I love you, Scully,” he said, shrugging his shoulders and smiling.

“I love you too, Mulder,” she said, squeezing his hand. He kissed the back of hers and then rested their joined hands on the console.

They smiled at each other as he turned the blinker on and headed for home, the whole car smelling wonderfully of Christmas.

_____________________________________________

Happiness and love... I love them so much.

Howard and Betty are real people. While Betty was not plump and big bosomed, she was an incredibly kind and loving woman. She had the glasses and the hairstyle, and a heart full of love. She was a wonderful woman and I can’t think of a better way to honor her.

Howard has an amazing smile. He makes you happy just with that smile. His voice is booming, his hug is tight, and his eyes are always sparkling. He would have been an excellent Christmas tree farm owner. He would have done exactly as this Howard did, and given things away to those whose company he enjoyed.

Hope you loved them as much as I do. ❤️

Nudge

Zuko gets Azula a therapy dog to help her cope with and recover from a battle with depression.

Azula whimpers softly to herself. She is surprised that she still has it in her to even do that. She lies in bed. For how long she has been there, she isn’t quite sure anymore. The days have begun to blend but she can’t bring herself to get up. She knows that she should. She wants to, but she just doesn’t have it in her. The energy had left her a long time ago. And the motivation had left before that.

When all of her accomplishments had fallen down around, shattered and rendered fruitless and when her goals had diminished with them, she began finding it hard to get up. If everything she does only crumbles away, then why should she do anything at all?

She doesn’t have anyone to do anything for either. She certainly doesn’t want to do anything for herself.

So she lies on her side, mostly motionless and staring at the arm she has outstretched in front of her. She should bathe or, at the very simplest, eat. Lately she hasn’t been able to muster up the willpower to do that either.

Azula takes a very deep breath and sits up. For a fleeting moment she thinks that she is going to leave the bed. She urges herself to do so, there are so many things that she needs to do; fix herself a meal, eat it, fix herself a bath, undress herself, actually take her bath, dress herself.... And those are only the little things. She also has to make something of herself again; maybe she can attend one of the council meetings Zuko has invited her to or she can rekindle her friendships or try to make new ones… There is just so much to do. Her head begins to spin thinking about all of her options. It spins and whirs until her burst of energy dies away and suddenly she wants to do none of them again. When she comes back to herself she realizes that she has simply been staring at the back of her hands.

She thinks that she has been doing so for hours. She rubs her hands over her face, wondering what the hell is wrong with her? She doesn’t know what sort of person can lose so much time doing something so stupid. She lets her body drop back onto the mattress and bunches herself up. She tries not to weep again, but she can’t keep herself from it. She feels so useless and so foolish.

She feels like there isn’t really a reason for her to be...around anymore. She lets her body flop back onto the mattress and presses her head into the pillow.

.oOo.

Another day slips by. She still hasn’t brought herself to move and her stomach is pleading for food. She longs for it just as furiously, but if she can’t even walk down the hall, how is she supposed to cook? The servants have stopped doing it for her after weeks of her letting it go to waste. She doesn’t have the strength to ask them to resume again.

A knock at her door causes her to jolt. Zuko doesn’t wait for her to answer. “I have a surprise for you!” He declares, much too joyfully for her tastes. He wanders over to her window and draws the curtains. A beam of sunlight falls directly upon her.

She rolls onto her side with a dissatisfied groan.

“You don’t have to get up. This surprise will come to you.” She can hear the smile in his voice.

The foot of her bed dips as something launches itself at her. Despite the warning Zuko had given, she gives a small start. She feels a snout nudge against her neck. Azula forces herself upright. The dog is so large that it is level with her face. It nudges her cheek with its nose. It sits there staring at her with its tail wagging wildly.

She must admit that it is a pretty dog; sleek and black with deep brown and loving eyes. Its tail is long and slim and its ears are short and floppy. She notices a patch of white on its chest and paws.

Azula hesitantly reaches out, pausing halfway.

“Go on,” Zuko coaxes. “He’s really friendly and he’s been specially trained to help you.”

Azula bites her lower lip as she carefully strokes the dog’s dark fur. He leans into her, his head resting against the crook of her neck.There is a warm flutter in her chest. It is the first time that anything has managed to cut through her prolonged numbness. Even if it is a very faint feeling. The dog’s tail begins to wag more intensely; it is her only warning before he gives her cheek a rather wet lick.

Her face bunches up and she rubs at her moist cheek with the back of her sleeve. “No stop it!” She shouts as the dog continues its merciless licking. She thinks that she might have smiled, at least for a flicker. She repeats her demand and the dog relents. He drops back down and rests his head in her lap, awaiting more pets. She runs her hand over his head.

“Well, do you like him?” Zuko grins.

“Why?” She asks.

“I know that you were getting lonely, I figured that we can start with animals before people.” Zuko explains. “Your doctors mentioned that they’ve noticed that patients with pets tend to recover easier than patients without.” As if he knows that he is being talked about, he sits back up and perks his ears. “Kaiyuki is the first dog that they’ve trained to help with the recovery process.”

Azula eyes the dog. His tongue lolls out as he pants happily.

“So, do you want to give him a try?”

He leans into her again and this time she puts an arm around him. She must admit that this is the most activity she has done in a very long while. She nods.

Zuko’s smile widens. “Great. I can help you take care of him if that’s too much right now.”

Azula thinks it over. “Okay.”

“He likes walks.” Zuko tries. “If you feel like it, I can have the servants cook breakfast while you take him on one.”

She could use the fresh air… Kaiyuki yips happily. Azula stays in place for a while, trying to muster up the energy to move. The dog is patient, he only springs off of the bed when she finally brings herself to swing her feet over the edge of it.

Her legs are stiff from having laid down for such a long time. “Where is his leash?”

“He doesn’t need one.” Zuko answers. “He’ll walk right by you.”

The sentiment is nice. Evidently, she likes the idea of having a companion next to her that can help her sniff out threats and take them down if she can’t manage it. She lets her hand rest on Kaiyuki’s back as they slowly make their way out of her bedroom.

.oOo.

It is quite a beautiful day out. Really, it is the perfect day to re-enter the world. The sun caresses her skin like a familiar and long forgotten friend. Its rays welcome her back to the outdoors. She inhales deeply. Dragon maple, marigold, and a pungent hint of paprika fills her lungs. The air is so clean, it makes her lungs feel healthy. It makes her feel healthy overall.

She watches Kaiyuki leap up and down, bouncing all around her in excited circles. She wishes that she can achieve that level of enthusiasm. One level at a time, she reminds herself. She buries her hands in the excess fabric of her robes, it is only then that she recalls that she still hasn’t gotten dressed. Her face colors. Though no one has made any remarks regarding her haggard appearance.

Azula slowly treks the carefully paved garden path until she reaches the turtle-duck pond. She wants to sit down but, all the same, fears that if she does, she won’t be able to force herself to stand again. So she remains on her feet and observes Kaiyuki dipping his neck to take a drink. He laps at the water and then paws at her feet. She thinks that, that might be her cue to move.

She lets him lead the way and tags along as he takes her under an arbor of firelily. Everything is so bright and vivid. So lively. She passes one of her serving girls. The girl dips her head, “it’s good to see you out and about again, princess.”

“Yeah.” Azula replies.

The girl bows again and carries on with her task.

Azula finds herself a seat on one of the stone benches beneath a dragon maple. Kaiyuki leaps up and sits on her lap. She strokes his fur until Zuko hands her a bowl of noodle soup and fruit tart topped with rose petals.

Her stomach rumbles softly, at the prospect of a much needed meal. She takes a spoonful of soup and savors the way it warms her throat and belly.

“Feeling any better?”

She holds her hand up with her pointer and thumb spaced slightly apart. “A little, I suppose.” That is a bit of a fib. In just over an hour she has felt a spark of motivation, a dash of hope, and a touch of embarrassment. It is the most that she has felt in ages, much more than she had expected to feel again. Just having felt something again lifts her mood even if some of the emotions weren’t wholly positive.

She takes a bite of her fruit tart, the flavor is rich and succulent, like a silk on her tongue. The warmth and texture suggests that it is freshly baked. She has another spoonful of soup. “It’s good. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

She holds out what is left of her noodles for Kaiyuki to lap at.

“You’re going to spoil this dog, aren’t you?” Zuko laughs.

“Possibly.” She replies.

The dog looks up at her with cheerful eyes.

.oOo.

The first week is the hardest. Getting up in the morning is such a task and it takes very much prodding from Kaiyuki. In only those few days he already seems to know her so well. He knows when tough love is required and when he just needs to lay with her. For the first few days, he has to nudge her awake, poke and prod at her until she can no longer sleep. She is thankful for it; she doesn’t feel so lazy and useless when she is up and about.

Gradually, Azula requires less pestering to leave her bed. She finds that she is able to muster the drive to do it herself. She has Kaiyuki to feed and walk. It is a small purpose in life, but a purpose no less. Someone needs her. Someone thinks that she has value. Even if he can’t vocalize it.

He doesn’t need to, the way his tail thrashes about when she hands him his food dish and water bowl or when she tells him to go fetch. Just making eye contact with him, brings his tail to life. She just wishes that everyone would be that happy to see her.

It takes her a very long time, at least by her standards, to resume her firebending regime. Three months exactly. Like most things, it is a process. For the first month, exercise comes in the form of a leisurely walk with Kaiyuki around the palace gardens.

They help her, perhaps, more than she is aware. Servants and guards wave to her, surprisingly kind and lacking judgment. She supposes that it is because, despite all of her wrong doings, she has treated them well. Compared to her father’s treatment of them, she was an absolute delight to be around.

As they get used to seeing her around again, they occasionally stop to ask her if she is doing well or if they can get her anything. She doesn’t know any of them particularly well, but it is nice to talk to people again.

By month two her languid strolls become jogs and runs. Kaiyuki can use the excitement and she needs to get herself back in shape for her more strenuous firebending routines. It is frustrating, at first, to find herself tiring out so quickly, but Kaiyuki is a distraction from that.

It is in the middle of month three that she decides it is time to get back to firebending. It takes more mental preparation than she likes to admit. She prepares herself for dreadful disappointment and painful frustration. But once she has a routine going, it sticks.

And for it, Azula finds that she feels much better about herself. Even though she isn’t yet on par with her old self, she feels surprisingly good.

When her mood lifts high enough, she finds herself teaching Kaiyuki to jump through flaming hoops and over flaming beams. She teaches him to strike and attack when she makes certain gestures.

It is easier to train when she isn’t alone. It is easier to train when Kaiyuki picks up on her frustration and pounces on her, licking reassuringly at her face. It is easier to train when Kaiyuki fetches her a waterskin and reminds her to drink it. It is easier in general, with Kaiyuki around.

.oOo.

“He’s just so fluffy!” TyLee exclaims as she wraps her arms around Kaiyuki.

“He’s helpful too.” Azula replies.

It is the first time she has spoken to TyLee in ages. This time TyLee doesn’t look at her with fear nor loathing.

“What does he help with?” TyLee asks.

“He’s a therapy dog.” She replies. “It really depends. Sometimes he does little things like fetching me water while I train. Other times he’ll bring me my medications or…” she hesitates “He’ll encourage me to get out of bed. If he can’t help me then he usually gets Zuzu for me.”

TyLee’s expression dims. Azula has forgotten that she didn’t yet know just how bad things had gotten for her.

“Are you okay?”

Azula runs her hand over Kaiyuki’s fur. “I’m doing much better.”

TyLee smiles again. “That’s good.”

“Thank you.” She takes a seat upon her favorite bench and pats the spot next to her. TyLee fills it and Kaiyuki leaps up and finds a place on her lap. “How has it been with the Kyoshi Warriors?”

“Oh, it has been amazing!” TyLee gushes. “I’m learning so many things and going to so many new places…”

Azula’s tummy tingles; and what has she been doing? She has been making progress, sure. But she isn’t accomplishing anything at all. She is still nothing compared to who she used to be. She stares at her palms as TyLee continues her cheerful chatter. Kaiyuki pokes his snout at her chin.

TyLee brings her story to a halt. “Are you still okay?”

Azula clears her throat. “Yes. Sorry, I do that sometimes...Kaiyuki has to...uh...pull me out of it.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m just thinking again...” She trails off.

“About?”

“Zuko is the Fire Lord, you’re a Kyoshi Warrior traveling the world, Aang is the Avatar, his friends constantly do incredible things, Mai is the Fire Lady. And me? What am I doing?” She inquires, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Recovering.” Zuko’s voice answers from behind. He huffs as he sets down a crate.

Recovering. That just isn’t good enough for her anymore. She wants to do something again. To matter again.

She swallows and says as much.

“You do matter.” TyLee says softly. “You definitely matter to…”

“Kaiyuki.” Azula fills in. She slings an arm around him. “Do I matter to you?” Last she checked, TyLee was still fuming. She knows that Mai is.

TyLee nods. “You matter to me. We’re going to have a lot to talk about when you’re in a better place. But you matter to me.”

“I think Mai kind of misses talking with you too.”

“Lies are supposed to be believable, Zuzu.”

“It’s not a lie.” Zuko shrugs. “We can be angry with you and still care about you.”

Azula swallows and her stomach lolls again. She has never had that before. She can only manage a little nod. “That doesn’t change that I haven’t accomplished anything.”

“That’s not true, you…”

Azula cuts him off, “everything important that I’ve done is null. And none of those things were good anyhow.” She falters. “Everyone around me has done something unforgettable and I haven’t. I’ve fallen so behind.” Her grip on Kaiyuki tightens and he burrows himself against her. “I’ll never catch up.” She adds more to herself.

“Actually, I think that I have something for you to do.” Zuko’s lips curve up.

Her brows furrow and she looks up.

“You’ve trained and taken care of Kaiyuki. Do you think that you can do the same for a baby dragon or two?”

“I thought that…”

“Nope, Aang and I found two dragons. We’re hoping to bring the dragon population back. But Aang has Avatar stuff to do and I have Fire Lord duties.” He pauses. “Unless you have something that you’re not telling me about, I think that you have time to help with our dragon goals.”

Azula smiles. “I think that I can do that.”

“Wonderful.” Zuko grins. He motions to the crate. “Happy birthday.”

Azula’s belly flutters again. She’d forgotten her own birthday. She pries the lid off of the crate.

“When it hatches, Kaiyuki can help you keep the baby in line.”

Azula laughs for the first time in ages. “If he can keep me in line, then he’ll have no problem with a dragon.”

“You’ll let me pet the dragon when it hatches, right!?” TyLee asks.

Azula nods again, this time with more enthusiasm. For the first time since her defeat, she feels hopeful--optimistic even. “Thank you, Zuzu.”

.oOo.

Azula tucks herself in and waits for Kaiyuki to curl himself up next to her. She holds him close. She kisses him atop his furry little head. He means the world to her, truly. She can’t imagine that she would be doing quite as well if Zuko hadn’t found him for her. It has only been a little under a year and she has made much more progress than she had in all of her years in that institution. Maybe she will be able to talk to her mother soon.

She sleeps easier knowing that she will wake up to Kaiyuki. She sleeps easier knowing that she will wake up to rekindling relationships. She sleeps easier knowing that she will wake up to a newfound purpose.

She closes her eyes and nuzzles her chin against Kaiyuki’s head.

And when she wakes the next morning, she feels reinvigorated. For once, Azula doesn’t want to go to stay in bed. For once, she again rises with the sun.

3. Are you single or taken?

May, a few feet away: “SHE’S 11 YOU CREEPY PIECE OF-”

“I had a boyfriend back in D.C., for four days, we went like on two dates, if a walk in the courtyard of the Citadel it can be called a date, and we kissed once, it was clammy and tasted of canned food, we didn't exactly break up but we never hung out again after that.”

May, a few feet away, shrinking herself from embarrassment: “.....oh...”

4. Have any abilities or powers?

“I can bring a broken laser rifle back to full capacity in less than a minute, and Lancer Captain Kells is the only one who I've never been able to defeat at chess, but it's only a matter of time and experience.”

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

“... if this is supposed to be some type of joke, I didn't get it.”

6. What’s your eye color?

"I know, it's not easy to notice but they are not simply blue, they are greyish blue.”

7. How about your hair color?

“Well, you should be able to see it yourself, but is blond, like my parent's.”

8. Have any family members?

“The Brotherhood is the only family I’ve ever known.”

9. Oh? How about pets?

“Emmett! he’s actually Proctor Quinlan’s, but I'm the one who feeds him most of the time. He never bites me when I rub his belly...”

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like?

“People who make noises while eating, like Samuel. Yes, Samuel, I’m talking about you, keep your stinky mouth shut, it's not that hard! Oh, and super mutants, synths and ghouls as well...”

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

“Not that I have much free time between training, study and duties, I like drawing, especially complex power armors, playing chess but I think I'd already said that and, um, I don’t know, I just love power armors and look at people who work on them...”

May, in Italian: “she loves to look at one person in particular work on them...”

“Did you say something, Initiate May?”

May, ironically: “not at all, Squire Lisa.”

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

“It can happen during a close combat training, I broke Marco's nose with an elbow, once. The most serious injury I've seen, though, was in the Citadel when another Squire, trying not to get caught by his attacker, namely our instructor of that time, he hit his head hard on a steel column... that poor boy was bleeding from his left eye and nose and he was in a coma for three days, but they told me he is fine now.”

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

“I have to do it, someday...”

14. What kind of animal are you?

*confused* “........ Homo Sapiens...?”

15. Name your worst habits?

“I don't think I have any, everyone says I'm a good girl!”

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

*with stars in her eyes* “Paladin Danse without any doubt! One day I want to be strong, brave and invincible like him, and then more than him! I’m sorry for you, sir, but I'll be the next to become Sentinel!!”

Danse, a few feet away, he’s smiling proudly.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

“Excuse me? i mean, I know what that means but I don't feel confident in answering this question right now.”

18. Do you go to school?

“I take class here on the Prydwen. ”

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“Who knows? Maybe one day...!

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

“I... don’t know what are you talking about...?”

21. What are you most afraid of?

“I'm not afraid of anything, just like any member of the Brotherhood of Steel!”

(N.B: Lisa is actually afraid of thunder, but she will never admit it)

22. What do you usually wear?

“My uniform? Every Squire has two of them and it's our responsibility to keep them nice and clean. Repairs also depend on us, if we lose a button or the sole of our boots we are given instructions and materials to bring them up to code. Of course my uniform is still in perfect condition.”

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

“Nothing. I'm immune to temptation. But sometimes, when the allied farms send us the crop, Samuel's mom bakes cookies for us children if we do good, and as I said, I’m always a good kid.”

24. Am I annoying to you?

“No, why are you asking?”

25. Well, it’s still not over!

*confused* “Fine, I guess...?”

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

“I swear, sometimes I don’t really know what are you talking about, and I’m pretty smart.”

27. How many friends do you have?

"Well Marco and Samuel are friends, more Marco than Samuel, I have other friends back in D.C. like Miranda, Terry, Juan Pablo... OH! Emmett” Emmett is my best friend!”

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

*does a sneer of disgust* “The only pie I've ever eaten, at the Citadel, was made with Mirelurk meat and no, thanks.”

29. Favorite drink?

“Nuka-Cola Orange. Sadly, there wasn't much in D.C. ...”

30. What’s your favorite place?

"I don’t know, I’ve been only here on the Prydwen and at the Citadel. I like it here, though...”

31. Are you interested in anyone?

*blushing slightly* “I... rather not answer...”

32. That was a stupid question…

*still blushing* “Look, let's just... let it slide, OK?”

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

“I don't think it would be safe. They taught us to swim in a pool, just in case, but I hope I will never end up in radioactive water.”

34. What’s your type?

*babbling* “Type? You mean THAT type? I... I like... no, I don-”

May steps in: “OK, enough of the questions! Lisa, why don't you go feed Emmett now?”

“Y-Yes, sir...”

35. Any fetishes?

May: “I SAID ENOUGH!” *she karate-chop that freak*

“36. Camping or outdoors?” is written in the interviewer's last note, but now he's not physically capable to read it...

Carrots and Cookies and Kicking, Oh My! - Detective OT3

Happy Birthday @vesperass-anuna, dearest of all the Ves’!!!! These three wanted to make sure you have the bestest birthday ever. I hope you love this fluffy, silly story. These three are just too adorable for my their own good. Love you darling and I really do hope your birthday is fabulous. :D :D :D

She was finally getting the hang of this. The throwing up had blessedly, wonderfully, finally passed and she was feeling like an actual human being again; not just a slimy, sweaty, slab of death warmed over. Not to mention, her stomach had finally popped out and people could actually see she was pregnant, not just puffy. Granted, most people thought she was more like seven months along, instead almost five, but that’s what happens when you have two wiggly creatures growing inside you.

Wiggly indeed, Skye thought as she absentmindedly rubbed her stomach. She couldn’t quite tell the movements apart yet, having only been feeling them for about 3 weeks. She wasn’t sure if it was an arm or a leg, nor which baby the limbs belonged to, but it didn’t really matter. The little flutters and nudges were soft and gentle and made her smile every time she felt them. Of course, with these two for dads, she was sure the babies would be turning somersaults and chasing each other around inside her belly soon. That thought made her grimace a little, but if it meant healthy babies, she was more than happy to put up with it. Besides, it would only be for a couple months, right? She can put up with anything for a short period of time.

Plus, she’d learned quickly that she could use any slight discomfort to get whatever she wanted from Lincoln and Ward.

It was adorable watching them fuss over her. She was constantly asked, “Are you feeling okay? Do you need anything to eat? Is your water bottle full? Should you be resting? How about you sit down and I’ll get you the pillow? Don’t lift that! I’ll get it for you.” Kara had commented that almost seemed like they were competing with each other to take care of her, which made Skye laugh hard. They hadn’t competed when they were starting to date (which she is still so grateful for), but now it was like they were trying to outdo each other in pampering her.

Ward had decided to take on the difficult responsibility of feeding her. This normally wasn’t a problem - Skye loved to eat. And she especially loved Ward’s cooking. His cheeseburgers were practically sinful and the beef stew he made in the winter warmed her up like nothing else could. But the first four months of pregnancy had taken their toll on Skye’s voracious appetite. When the scent of raw meat wasn’t sending her running for the bathroom, it was the flavor of peppers or the texture of rice that had her cringing and pushing her plate away. She wailed more than once about how unfair it was that all her favorite foods either grossed her out or didn’t settle in her stomach and usually came back up. The boys worried endlessly about getting food in her, she had lost several pounds in the very beginning. After they found out there were two babies, they knew it was extra important for her to get enough calories, which inspired milkshakes and smoothies. Skye could usually manage to get down liquids, even when she was really queasy, so Ward experimented with what he could get into a shake or smoothie that she’d drink and keep down. A peanut butter shake (with some protein powder) was her preferred breakfast, while a blueberry-pomegranate (with hidden spinach) was a solid choice in the evening. And pineapple. For some reason, Skye could eat that particular citrus fruit easily, but oranges or grapefruits were a truly terrible idea. Now that she was able to eat again, Ward had made it his mission to make sure she was eating a well-balanced diet, with all the necessary nutrients for growing babies.

“Here, Skye. Have these carrots,” Ward suggested, heaping more on her plate.

“No thanks, robot. I’ve had enough. But I appreciate it.” She smiled at him from across the table.

“Come on, have a few,” he cajoled.

“No, really. I’m fine,” she reiterated.

“Skye, their eyes are developing this week. You really need to eat these,” he told her.

“Their what?” Skye stared at him for a moment. “Ward, did you go through the Week-by-Week pregnancy book and meal plan according to the babies’ development?

He looked back at her seriously. “Yes. Now, please. Eat them.”

He was so serious and earnest, that she managed to contain the giggles that were threatening to surface. Settling for a smile, she speared a carrot on her fork. “Okay fine, but just a couple. I’m already stuffed from everything else you made.”

Ward nodded. And then slipped a few more onto her plate.

Lincoln was the one who made sure she rested properly and often and thoroughly. He had it kind of easy the first couple months though, since she mostly laid on the couch when she was home. But he was the one to give her a foot rub when she got home and occasionally carry her to bed when she passed out in the living room. As she felt better, she started being more active around the house, and then Lincoln stepped up his game.

“Skye! What are you doing?” he cried, rushing over to her one evening in the kitchen.

“I’m getting out the Kitchen Aid,” she said slowly, since he seemed to be having trouble understanding why she’d be reaching into the cupboard where they kept the mixer. “I was going to make some cookies.”

“You can’t do that!”

Skye’s eyes flashed dangerously. “I’m going to give you exactly three seconds to explain why you think you can dictate what I can or cannot do AND why cookies are not acceptable.”

Lincoln gulped, chastened immediately, and started to explain. “Sorry, that wasn’t what I meant. I just didn’t want you to hurt yourself trying to lift the mixer. It’s really heavy and bulky, and it’s not like you were the picture of grace and balance before. And well, now your center of gravity is thrown off.”

“Hmmm,” she replied, still keeping her eyes narrowed at him. “And what about the cookies? Have you started hating on them? As I recall, you happened to be a big fan of when I baked.”

“Nothing wrong with cookies!” he rushed out. “Cookies are fabulous. I swear, all I meant was why don't I get out the mixer and help get stuff out of the cupboards. No need for you to try to balance on a stool or climb up the counters.” Lincoln raised his hands, in what was hopefully a placating gesture, and gave her his best reassuring smile.

Skye regarded him for another moment, then relented. “Alright then. Get out the mixer. Then we need the flour and sugar and vanilla. I don’t know why you two insist on putting those things on the top shelf. You know I can’t reach them there and I’m the one who uses them the most.”

“Because we use all the stuff on the lower shelves more often,” he grunted as he hefted the sturdy mixer onto the counter. “Plus, then we have to help get them down for you. We like to feel needed.”

She rolled her eyes as he kissed her nose, but there was a grin flirting at the corners of her mouth. “Dork.”

Twenty minutes later the first batch was in the oven and Lincoln was entreating her to sit down and relax. “You've been on your feet for awhile,” he coaxed.

She chuckled and let him usher her to the couch, but not before poking him in the side. “You do know I work 12 hour shifts in the ER and have for years, right? Making a batch of cookies is nothing.”

“But you haven't been pregnant for years and aren’t used to using so much energy on building humans from scratch,” he insisted.

“I'm pregnant, not an invalid. I'm not dying or anything. I'm still totally capable of taking care of myself.”

“Humor me then,” he asked. “It's not every day a gorgeous woman is willing to have babies with me. Let me do my part and take care of you.”

“Not every day? But some days? Do you go around asking for babies to random strangers on the street?” she teased.

“Only on Tuesdays,” he quipped, pulling her feet into his lap.

Skye moaned as he started kneading, “Fine, you win. I will totally let you rub my feet as much as you want.”

Skye was half asleep by the time Ward came in, which coincided perfectly with the timer going off. She started to get up, which was taking considerably more effort than it used to, when Lincoln gently pushed her back down.

“I’ve got it. You stay here,” he said.

“Already on it!” Ward called from the kitchen, having silenced the buzzer already. He swapped out the tray from the oven with the next batch waiting on the counter, and set the baked cookies on the cooling rack. “So, what’s the occasion?” he asked, plopping down next to Lincoln.

“Nothing really,” Skye shrugged. “Just felt like cookies. I was going to make them, but then this guy came in and insisted on helping me.” She pointed at the blonde between them.

“Well someone had to help you get the Kitchen Aid out from the cupboard,” he tossed back.

“Skye, you can’t do that!” Ward admonished.

“Not you too!” Skye groaned. “I got it, I swear! I won’t try that again.”

“Good,” the men said in unison.

Skye opened her mouth to say something else when her expression changed into something neither guy could quite read. Her attention had clearly been diverted from them, but they had no idea where it had gone.

“Skye?” Lincoln asked. “You okay?”

Skye nodded, then looked back at them, with a big smile. She sat up a little bit, shushing Lincoln as he chided her. “Here! Quick!” she cried, grabbing both of their hands. She placed them on the side of her belly.

“Um...Skye?” Ward started. “What are we doing?”

She furrowed her brow. “Just wait a second, I swear, it’s going to- AH! There! Did you feel that?”

Ward gasped audibly and Lincoln’s eyebrows shot up to the ceiling.

“Wait, was that-?” Ward began.

“Was that the babies?!” Lincoln shrieked.

“Yep!” Skye nodded, grinning so widely her face was about to crack. “I’m not sure which one it was, but that was definitely one of them!”

“Wow,” Lincoln breathed out. He pressed his hand in a little more, trying to feel the baby’s kick again.

Ward moved from sitting on the couch to kneeling next to Skye, keeping his hand in the exact same place. He looked up at her with his eyes wide. “And you feel that….all the time?”

“Not all the time, but often enough, yeah.” Skye had guessed that the boys would be fairly excited to feel the kicks for the first time, but she hadn’t expected this level of awe. It was the sweetest thing she had seen in a long time.

With his other hand, Ward grabbed hers and squeezed lightly. Skye grabbed Lincoln’s free hand as well and squeezed both of them. The three of them sat there quietly for a few more minutes, feeling the babies roll around and kick and move, holding hands. Until the sound of the timer beeping again interrupted their moment.

Lincoln chuckled and stood to go deal with the oven. Before he walked away, he leaned down and gave Skye a kiss. “Amazing,” he whispered.

Skye’s eyes crinkled in amusement as he walked into the other room. “The babies or me?”

“All of you,” Ward answered, leaning up to kiss her as well.

She flushed a little. “Well, being this amazing takes a lot of energy,” she responded. “I need approximately 347 cookies right now or else we’re all going to die.”

“Drama queen!” Lincoln yelled from the kitchen.

“Like you’re one to talk!” she shouted back.

Ward just shook his head at both of them. “Okay, Queen Skye,” he said, reaching to pull her up from the couch. “Your cookies await.”

Getting There

Summary: Daniel and Isley travel to Vermont.

@isleydrewbennett

Isley-05/10/2018

Isley woke up that morning to a huge pain in her side. At first, she panicked, but when she sat up and looked, she could see something pushing out of her stomach. Something that looked almost like...a foot. “Babe!” She exclaimed, nudging Daniel awake.

Daniel-05/10/2018

Daniel was normally an early riser and an ecstatic one at that. He enjoyed getting up early and having breakfast in him before going to the gym and getting to work. With everything going on though, it was more of a struggle to wake up and stay awake than ever. He felt like he could sleep for days on end. When he felt Isley nudging him, he groaned in protest, his face deep in his pillow. It took a small moment before he was able to lift his head. "More sleep." He replied.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Hurry! A foot!” She yelled, nudging him again.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Huh?" He asked and sat up. "Where?" He asked in a panic.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Look!” She said, turning to her side so Daniel could see the baby kicking her and sticking his or her foot out.

Daniel-05/10/2018

He was finally able to open his eyes and look at her belly, unable to believe that sight before him. Tentatively, he moved his hand to her belly so he could feel the movement. "Holy shit.." He whispered. "They're moving."

Isley-05/10/2018

Isley smiled brightly, tearing up as she watched the love of her life feel their babies’ first real kicks, completely in awe. “I think this one is Mila, and this one is Liam.” She said, gesturing to her side and then the front of her stomach.

Daniel-05/10/2018

Daniel leaned down to watch, his hand still on her bump. "Hi babies." He said with a smile.

Isley-05/10/2018

She wiped away a stray tear before she felt a hard kick. “Jesus!” She said, grabbing her side. “I think Mila likes your voice.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

He chuckled, moving his hand to Mila's side. "I can't wait to meet you guys."

Isley-05/10/2018

“Oh my god, she quieted down when you touched her, babe.” She was full on crying then, but they were absolutely happy tears.

Daniel-05/10/2018

Daniel couldn't believe that they were actually reacting to him, that he could interact with his children this way. "I love you both so much." He spoke to her belly one more time before smiling up at her. "And you."

Isley-05/10/2018

She sniffled, laughing as she wiped her face. “I love you so much.” She said, cupping his face and bringing it to hers for a kiss.(edited)

Daniel-05/10/2018

He kissed her passionately, feeling overwhelmed with love for his little family. When he pulled away, his hand moved back to her belly. "I can't believe we are really having twins. Like they're growing in there. They have little feet and hands and are moving all around.. It's so wild."

Isley-05/10/2018

“I know. And they can hear their daddy, and feel your hands on their little feetsies.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"It's so crazy... I want them to be born so I can hold them." He pressed a kiss to her belly.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Me too. But I also like keeping them safe and close to me right here.” She said, rubbing her stomach.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"I can't blame you for feeling that way. I'm just glad I can feel them too now."

Isley-05/10/2018

“Me too. I feel like I’m going to explode with happiness and love and everything. This is my favorite day ever.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Mine too." He grinned. "I just wanna lay here and wait for them to start up again."

Isley-05/10/2018

“They’ll probably start soon if I don’t feed them.” She laughed, sitting up.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"We can go eat, I guess." he playfully sighed as he sat up.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Oh wow, thank you, you’re such a benevolent god.” She teased with a roll of her eyes.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Hey, you can feed yourself then incubator." He teased.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Oh my god, these babies aren’t gonna have a father.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Rude." He laughed as he stood up and stretched.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Help.” She demanded, holding her hands out for him to pull her up.

Daniel-05/10/2018

He grabbed her hands and gently helped her up. "What are you thinking you want to eat?"

Isley-05/10/2018

“Bacon. Lots of bacon.” One of the babies kicked then. “Yep, definitely bacon.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Bacon it is then. Maybe eggs too." He yawned as he pulled a shirt on, not wanting to cook baking shirtless.

Isley-05/10/2018

Isley pouted as he pulled a shirt on, then waddled over to his dresser and pulled on one of his bigger shirts as well. Soon, she wasn’t going to be able to wear his shirts either. “And something with cheese. I want cheese. I want bacon covered in melted cheese.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Just bacon with cheese? How about we put cheese in the eggs?"

Isley-05/10/2018

She pouted again, crossing her arms. “I want the cheese on the bacon.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Alright, fine." He said with a nod and headed out to the kitchen to make sure they had bacon. Thankfully they had thought to buy plenty of it. He pulled the pans out to get them heated up while he worked on opening the package of bacon and scrambling some eggs.

Isley-05/10/2018

She smiled triumphantly, following him to the kitchen and getting a glass of orange juice before taking her prenatal vitamins. “I guess I’ll let you make me eggs too.” She said with a smile.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"You gotta eat eggs. I read in that pregnancy book that eggs are good for pregnancy." He said pointedly before putting a piece of bacon on the hot pan.

Isley-05/10/2018

“I feel like you’re lying, but I’ll eat them anyway.” She teased, drinking her juice.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Go read it yourself then." He said with a scoff.

Isley-05/10/2018

“I don’t know how to read.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Explains some things." He teased.

Isley-05/10/2018

“You’re the worst. I’m a genius!” She said, before hopping off the stool and refilling her juice.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Hey, you said it. Not me. Wake me up screaming, make me make you breakfast, expect me to be nice.."

Isley-05/10/2018

“I am cooking you two babies! You have to be nice.”(edited)

Daniel-05/10/2018

"I am being nice, but your expectations need to be lower this early in the morning." he joked.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Okay okay, we’ll compromise. Kiss?” She asked, standing behind him in the kitchen.

Daniel-05/10/2018

He made sure the bacon was okay to leave for a moment before turning around and doing as she asked, giving her a kiss.

Isley-05/10/2018

She smiled as she pulled away, giggling as she felt the babies again. “They’re moving again. I think they’re gonna be very active babies.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Damn, I'd say so." He said with a laugh as his hand moved to feel them again. He had to pull away to focus on breakfast though. He put some cheese on top of the cooking bacon and set it aside for Isley. "There's.. that."

Isley-05/10/2018

“This looks so good, I love you so much.” Isley said, before digging in with her bare hands.

Daniel-05/10/2018

He laughed softly "I love you too." He said before focusing on his own breakfast, which was a breakfast sandwich. He put some eggs on her plate before sitting down to eat.

Isley-05/10/2018

She turned to him when he sat down, cheese on her face. “Pregnancy has turned me into an animal.”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"It's kind of hot." he joked.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Oh yeah?” She teased, leaning in and trying to kiss him while her mouth was still covered with cheese.

Daniel-05/10/2018

"Not that hot." he moved away with a laugh.

Isley-05/10/2018

“If you loved me you would!”

Daniel-05/10/2018

"I don't want cheese kisses." he scrunched his nose.

Isley-05/10/2018

“Fine, but I’ll remember this next time, Bennett.” She said, teasingly scornful.May 11, 2018

Daniel-05/11/2018

"If I ever have cheese all over my face I give you permission to decline my kisses." he laughed.

Isley-05/11/2018

“I won’t because I love you.”

Daniel-05/11/2018

"Wow." he laughed. "I just made you food. Be nice to me."May 12, 2018

Isley-05/12/2018

“Hey, I just said I love you.” She teased.

Daniel-05/12/2018

"Yeah, while judging me." He said with a laugh.

Isley-05/12/2018

“Fine, you win. I do love you though.”

Daniel-05/12/2018

"Yeah, yeah." He said before taking another bite of his sandwich.

Isley-05/12/2018

"Hey, say it back!"

Daniel-05/12/2018

"I love you too." He said with a mouthful of food.

Isley-05/12/2018

Isley finished eating, sitting back and looking him over, utterly in love with him. "You're my favorite."

Daniel-05/12/2018

He looked over at her with a confused smile. "You're mine." He told her with a nod.

Isley-05/12/2018

She leaned over, resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm so excited to live life with you, baby."

Daniel-05/12/2018

He finished the last bite of his sandwich before putting his arm around her. "There's no one else I could picture spending the rest of my life with but you."

Isley-05/12/2018

She felt a sharp kick against her ribs, making her groan. "I think the babies are excited for it, too."

Daniel-05/12/2018

He reached over to put his hand on her belly. "Calm down in there." He scolded the babies playfully.

Isley-05/12/2018

Laughing, she was a little shocked that they calmed down. "Hey, they listened to you! You're already a good daddy."

Daniel-05/12/2018

"They already know who is boss." He joked.

Isley-05/12/2018

She pecked his lips before hopping off and going to stand in front of the closet. "Babe, what should I wear?" She called out.

Daniel-05/12/2018

"Well.. What are we doing?" He asked as he got up and followed after her.

Isley-05/12/2018

"I wanted to do the rest of the stuff we were supposed to do the other day. Check out the new house and get me a dress."

Daniel-05/12/2018

"Hmm.. Wear whatever is comfortable to you." He suggested as he approached the dresser to grab a pair of jeans.

Isley-05/12/2018

Nothing felt comfortable, but she pulled on some jeans along with a striped shirt and a flannel on top. She put on a bit of makeup as well before sliding her shoes on. "I think my ankles are swelling now." She pouted.

Daniel-05/12/2018

He grabbed a T-shirt and a hat, then joined her in putting shoes on. "I wonder what can help with that. Maybe you could go get a pedicure today?"

Isley-05/12/2018

She smiled up at him, stretching up on her tip toes to ask for a kiss. "You're so sweet. You're a great fiance, and you're going to make an even better husband."

Daniel-05/12/2018

"You will be the best wife ever." He gave her a kiss. "I'm getting lots of compliments today." he said with a laugh.

Isley-05/12/2018

"I'm just feelin' a little clingier than usual today." She said, resting her head on his chest and putting her arms around him.

Daniel-05/12/2018

"I like it when you're giddy like this." He pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Isley-05/12/2018

"You make me giddy." She said, wiggling happily.

Daniel-05/12/2018

"I think the past couple of weeks have proved otherwise but I'm glad that you're happy right now." He smiled down at her. "I love you so much."

Isley-05/12/2018

"I love you, baby. Alright, ready to go?"

Daniel-05/12/2018

"Yep." He said and pat his jeans to make sure he had his wallet. "Nope." he hurried to the kitchen to grab his wallet from the counter, then grabbed her hand as he walked out. "What are you feeling like you want to do first? House or dress?"

Isley-05/12/2018

Isley laughed as he patted himself down, then took his hand and followed him out. "House, I think."

Daniel-05/12/2018

"House it is. Am I driving?"May 13, 2018

Isley-05/13/2018

"Have you taken meds today?"

Daniel-05/13/2018

"No..." he gave her a small smile. "I took a little with breakfast." he said with a sigh as he handed the keys to her.

Isley-05/13/2018

Isley slapped his good arm. "Hey, don't put me and our babies in danger!" She scolded as she took the keys and got in the car.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I admitted it!" he scoffed. After he was in the car, he put his seat belt on and turned his phone onto music.

Isley-05/13/2018

She shook her head at him, though she was smiling. Singing along, she began the drive. "You know what I miss? Coffee."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I'm sorry, baby. You can drink decaf.. Can't you?"

Isley-05/13/2018

"Yeah, but it's not the same." She sighed dramatically.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"But you could pretend. I think the worst thing we are giving up here is our sex life."

Isley-05/13/2018

"I think the worst sacrifice is my body. Even after their born, I turn from an incubator to a milk jug."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Yeah, I guess I could see how that would suck too." he agreed with a nod.

Isley-05/13/2018

"Whatever, it's all worth it. I already love them so much, I'd sacrifice more than this."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Me too." he smiled over at her. "We are really going to be parents in a few months. It's crazy."

Isley-05/13/2018

"There's no one else I'd rather be crazy with." She said, placing a hand on the back of his neck.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Me neither baby. You're my perfect match for this."

Isley-05/13/2018

She smiled. "And everything else."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"And everything else." he agreed. "Soul mates and shit."

Isley-05/13/2018

"Soulmates and shit." She agreed with a laugh before singing along to the music.

Daniel-05/13/2018

He hummed with the music as he rest his head against the seat. With the early morning and his medication, he couldn't stop himself from dozing off as she drove, snores leaving him.

Isley-05/13/2018

Isley looked over at Daniel when she heard snores leave him, laughing a little. Finally, she arrived at the house and nudged him awake. "We're home."

Daniel-05/13/2018

Daniel's eyes fluttered open when she nudged him. They had the foundation of the house down and there were a few men working on it. "I wish this were going by faster."

Isley-05/13/2018

She nodded. "Me, too. I wish it were just done already."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Hopefully by the time we have the babies with us it will be done."

Isley-05/13/2018

"I hope so, too. Especially since I want to get married by the lake."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"We will get married by the lake no matter what." He promised. "I guess I just wanted to see how far they were on things before we left."

Isley-05/13/2018

"It would just be ideal if the whole property were finished, too." She said with a smile. "Should we get out and talk to them, or...?"

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Well we don't have to have the actual ceremony until we're completely ready. We'll be married within the next week or so, I'm not feeling too urgent in getting things ready for a wedding." He shrugged. "We can if you'd like. I just wanted to see, I've been emailing the contractor every so often."

Isley-05/13/2018

"Good point. I can't wait to marry you." She leaned over, kissing him. "I'm good. Let's go get some dresses."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I can't wait either." He grinned before giving her a real kiss. "Sounds like so much fun." He said sarcastically, but gave her a smile.

Isley-05/13/2018

"Shut up, this is my wedding dress we're talking about." She said, rolling her eyes and pulling out of the property.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I thought I wasn't supposed to see it until we got married." He joked.

Isley-05/13/2018

"The first one you can see, just not the second one. Didn't you know?"

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I just realized how many times I will have gotten married.." He said with a laugh.

Isley-05/13/2018

"Practically three." She said. "Third time's the charm?"

Daniel-05/13/2018

"We're never getting divorced so it has to be. You're in this for life."

Isley-05/13/2018

“Yeah, that’s what marriage means to some of us.” She teased.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Wow." He said with a scoff. "I hope you can find a dress quick."

Isley-05/13/2018

“I’m teasing, I love you!” She said with a weak smile. “Why? Are you in pain?”

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Yeah, yeah. We'll see how long marriage number 2 lasts with that attitude." He joked. "A little bit, nothing crazy. I'll get through shopping. I was mostly just hoping we could go somewhere fun for lunch."

Isley-05/13/2018

"You got it, baby. You can just sit and look pretty, anyways." She said, reaching over and placing a hand on him.

Daniel-05/13/2018

He laughed "That's what I do best." He joked as he grabbed her hand. "How long will you want to stay in Vermont?"

Isley-05/13/2018

"Whatever works for you, baby." She said, taking his hand.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I guess we can just feel it out once we get there. It's honestly really driving me crazy to be in Chicago and not be at work. I don't know if it will be much better in Vermont but at least we'll be in the mountains where we can hang out by the lake and go on hikes."

Isley-05/13/2018

"And be married. It's like a wedding and a honeymoon all in one."

Daniel-05/13/2018

"That is very true. I guess we can consider it a long honeymoon." He smiled over at her.

Isley-05/13/2018

“Exactly.” She said, squeezing his hand as they pulled into the parking lot of the strip mall.

Daniel-05/13/2018

Daniel got out of the car and took Isley's hand once more as they walked in, letting her lead the way. He had never been a fan of shopping but he did want Isley to get the dress she wanted and he knew that she wanted his support in that. "What are you thinking you want? Something kind of casual or are we dressing up?"

Isley-05/13/2018

“I was thinking a short white dress. Doesn’t have to be too fancy. Maybe you could wear like jeans and a button down or something?” She suggested as they entered the first store.

Daniel-05/13/2018

He nodded his head, having not thought about what they would wear all that much. When they entered the store, he looked around to help her before finding a white dress. "Like this, babe?"

Isley-05/13/2018

Daniel’s voice drew Isley from the rack she was flipping through. “Yeah, that could work. It’s a little plain though.” She took the dress from him anyways, figuring she may as well try it on.

Daniel-05/13/2018

Daniel was confused by that statement. It was a white dress so of course it would be plain? He settled on looking through the racks some more but didn't find anything that looked less plain than the one he had found already. "Finding anything?"

Isley-05/13/2018

Isley pulled a few dresses, mostly ones that involved lace of some sort. She may be pregnant, but she still wanted to look and feel beautiful when they got married. She nodded before leading him to the dressing rooms, commanding him to sit outside as she tried on her dresses. Normally, she wouldn’t have a problem with him being in there, but she didn’t want him to watch her struggle to pull things over her belly. Moments later, she emerged wearing a tight lace dress with 3/4 sleeves. “What do you think?” She asked.

Daniel-05/13/2018

He began to walk into the dressing room with her but was told to sit down. Confused, he moved to sit on the chair and sat with his hands clasped as he waited for her to come back out. When she did, he grinned at her and looked her over. "I really like that one, baby. You look great."

Isley-05/13/2018

Isley looked down at herself, shrugging. “I don’t think I like how tight it is.” She said, before going back to the dressing room and putting any tight ones aside. Next was an off the shoulder dress, not lace but it had a bit of ruffle on the shoulders. She liked this one more than the first. Coming out again, she asked him the same question as before.

Daniel-05/13/2018

Daniel wasn't sure if he should answer her questions honestly because he was terrified of hurting her feelings. Decidedly, he was going to yes to all the dresses. When she walked out in the next one, it definitely wasn't one he would have picked out for her but he gave her a smile. "I like it."

Isley-05/13/2018

“I like this one more than the last.” She said with a nod, though she could tell Daniel liked the other more. Going into the fitting room, she tried on and showed Daniel a few more before she pulled on one of the last dresses. It was a gorgeous long sleeve sheath dress with embroidery, and she immediately knew it was her favorite. Without showing Daniel or trying on any of the last few, she came out with the dress in her hand. “This is the one.” She said, smiling widely. She was immensely grateful that she hadn’t gotten too down in the dumps about her growing body during the shopping, not to mention the fact that she had found the dress in the first store. Sure, it had taken an hour or two, but still.

Daniel-05/13/2018

Daniel was a good sport throughout her trying dresses on. Some he liked better than others, but he always made sure to tell her that she looked pretty in them. In the end, he knew she would pick whichever one she was the most comfortable wearing. When she finally exited with the statement that she had picked her dress, he gave her a smile. "Oh good. You don't think you wanna check out any other stores?"

Isley-05/13/2018

“Nope, this is perfect.” She said, leaning in and kissing him. “Thank you for not complaining.”

Daniel-05/13/2018

He smiled against her lips. "I want you to be happy and comfortable when we get married so I'll suffer through the other stuff."

Isley-05/13/2018

“I love you. You really are the best.”

Daniel-05/13/2018

"I know, it's crazy." He joked as he walked up to the counter and pulled his wallet out to pay for her dress.

Isley-05/13/2018

She rolled her eyes as she followed him to the counter. “Aaaaand there it goes.” She said with a laugh, before thanking him for the dress.

Daniel-05/13/2018

"After all I've done for you today." He shook his head with a sigh.

Isley-05/13/2018

She laughed again. “Okay, is that everything off our checklist?”

Daniel-05/13/2018

"Can I go to the office and check on work things?"(edited)May 14, 2018

Isley-05/14/2018

“Of course, baby.” Isley said as she started the car and headed for the office, which wasn’t too far away.

Daniel-05/14/2018

He was excited to go to the office, as lame as that was. Daniel had always been a workaholic so being away was really hard for him. "Thank you." he put his hand on her knee.

Isley-05/14/2018

"Not too long, though, okay? You can't get too stressed."

Daniel-05/14/2018

"I just want to sit at my desk for a minute.. Maybe look at some of my emails.. See what's going on.." He shrugged.

Isley-05/14/2018

"Promise?" She asked, pulling into the parking lot of the office.

Daniel-05/14/2018

"Yeah, sure." He said as he got out of the car and walked into the building. He wished he could stay there all day but he knew not to press his luck. He walked into his office and looked around. "I miss working."

Isley-05/14/2018

Isley followed him in, looking around. It had been a while since she'd been there, and she missed it. No, she missed having a normal routine with Dan, when he was healthy. She followed him in to his office, leaning down and kissing him gently. "Okay, I'm gonna run to the gas station real quick and fill up before we go to Vermont."

Daniel-05/14/2018

Daniel sat in his chair and began to look through everything, excited to have the chance to do so. He hoped that his feeling of being so lazy and unimportant would go away once they were in Vermont and completely separated from the situation. He spoke to Drew for a moment and then began to reply to a few of his emails.

Isley-05/14/2018

Isley returned about twenty minutes later, smiling as she saw Drew. She talked to him for a moment before going into Dan's office and sitting on his lap, kissing him again.

Daniel-05/14/2018

He almost pouted as Isley sat on his lap, not wanting to be distracted but he let it go quickly as she kissed him. "Hi." He smiled. "Can we stay here just for a little bit?"

Isley-05/14/2018

She frowned at Daniel, but nodded anyways. "I'm going to take a nap, wake me up when you're done." She spotted the blanket and pillow Daniel had kept in there for her, glad he hadn't moved them. Laying down, she quickly fell asleep.

Daniel-05/14/2018

Daniel knew he shouldn't get caught up in anything but he was feeling good and he wanted to see if there were a real reason as to why he couldn't work. As he listened to a voicemail from his client who was currently in prison, he realized he couldn't remember what had put him there. What was his last name again? Daniel listened to the message five times, getting frustrated that the biggest case he had right now had details that were lost on him at the moment. He rest his head in his hands, trying to control his frustration. His therapist had told him to take a break, to not try this for a while because he might get discouraged. He stayed like that for a long moment before deciding to give up for now. He moved to the couch to gently nudge Isley away. "You ready to go, baby?"

Isley-05/14/2018

Isley came to with the sound of Daniel's voice. Stretching, she opened her eyes as she felt the babies kick as they woke up, too. Placing a hand on her stomach, she sat up. "Mmhmm." She hummed. "How long has it been?"

Daniel-05/14/2018

"I don't know, like an hour or something. Let's go pack and leave." He held his hand out.May 15, 2018

Isley-05/15/2018

She nodded, taking his hand and using it to pull herself up. “I still can’t believe I’m gonna get twice as big.” She said with a laugh before getting her purse and the keys, waving bye to Drew as she got in the car.

Daniel-05/15/2018

"Yeah, crazy." He said, distraction clear in his voice as he got into the car. "We're leaving today, right?"

Isley-05/15/2018

“Yeah, you just said we should pack.” Isley reminded him.

Daniel-05/15/2018

"Oh okay." He said with a nod. "Maybe I'll skip taking anything this afternoon so we can trade off driving. Or we could stay in a hotel on the way since it's kind of a long drive."

Isley-05/15/2018

“I don’t want you to be in pain, though, babe.”

Daniel-05/15/2018

"I'll be fine. I'm fine now." He shrugged.May 16, 2018

Isley-05/16/2018

"Are you sure? I can drive."

Daniel-05/16/2018

"Do you not want me to drive?"

Isley-05/16/2018

"I just don't want you to not take your meds and then be in pain."

Daniel-05/16/2018

"I'll be fine. It's not been so bad." he shrugged.

Isley-05/16/2018

"Okay. But if you start to hurt too badly just let me know. I don't mind driving." She nodded, then started the car and began the drive back to their apartment.

Daniel-05/16/2018

It wasn't likely that Dan would admit to pain at this point, but he nodded his head. When they arrived at the apartment again, he walked in and began to pack. "What should I bring for Rufus?"

Isley-05/16/2018

"Food, for sure. Maybe some toys, his bed..." Isley suggested, gathering their toiletries and prenatal vitamins.(edited)

Daniel-05/16/2018

Daniel nodded his head and began to pack a bag for his dog, who sat on the floor by the bed watching him. "Ready to go on an adventure buddy?" he asked his dog lovingly.

Isley-05/16/2018

Making sure she had shoes and makeup and everything she would need for the wedding day, Isley threw a bag over her shoulder and groaned. Her bump had caused her back pain and the heavy bag didn't help. "Ready?"

Daniel-05/16/2018

Daniel had been too focused on Rufus to pack his own things. "Um.. One minute." he said and moved to grab clothes, not paying mind to what he had grabbed as he shoved it into his bag.

Isley-05/16/2018

"Make sure you have stuff for court." Isley reminded him.

Daniel-05/16/2018

He thought for a moment before grabbing nicer clothes to wear for the courthouse, then zipped his bag up. "Alright, let's get out of here before we get distracted."

Isley - 05/16/2018 She nodded, taking his hand as they walked out to the car again, Rufus in tow behind them. "I'll take the first driving shift." She offered as they began to load the car. Daniel - 05/16/2018 Daniel was itching to feel in control of something but he nodded his head and finished putting the bags in the car. He placed a blanket on the backseat, then fought with Rufus to get him inside. Once he was situated, Daniel got in and put his seat belt on, ready to hit the road. Isley - 05/16/2018 They drove for a few hours, stopping every so often whenever Isley needed to pee or eat. At 1:30 in the morning, they were about halfway to Vermont. Isley pulled into a gas station with a yawn. "I'm exhausted. Do you want to drive or should we get a hotel?" Daniel - 05/16/2018 Daniel hated long deuces but surprisingly it wasn't so bad with Isley. When they stopped halfway, he thought for a long moment and looked back at his dog. "I think we should just get the drive over with. I feel bad for my guy back there." Isley - 05/16/2018 Isley smiled back at Rufus. "Okay. I'm gonna stretch my legs and take Rufus out." She said, getting out and putting Rufus on a leash, walking him to a grassy area so he could do his business. Daniel - 05/16/2018 Daniel walked idly behind her, feeling sore from sitting for so long. "I don't know, babe. Should we find a place to stay for the night?" Isley - 05/16/2018 She thought for a moment. "Probably. My back is already killing me from your giant children, so sleeping in a car probably won't be amazing." Daniel - 05/16/2018 "We can find a room. Hopefully there's a place that will let us have Rufus." he said as he pulled his phone out. He chuckled at a text he got before be focused on finding the best hotel in the area. After talking to them on the phone and offering to pay more to have his dog, he managed to reserve a room." I found us something. " he told her, walking over to pet Rufus. Isley - 05/16/2018 "I'm sure there is." She said, leaning against the car and rubbing her stomach. "What's so funny?" She asked with a smile before he called them. "Thank god. Do you want to drive there?" Daniel - 05/16/2018 "Ya know Sherrie? Apparently she's on Tinder now so she's been sharing stupid things people send her." he explained. "I can." he said as he worked on getting Rufus back in the car. He got in next, happy to be in the driver's seat. Isley - 05/16/2018 Isley shook her head. "Haven't met her yet." She couldn't help but feel jealous, mainly because Sherrie probably wasn't as fat as Isley was. Of course, she knew she was just pregnant, but she had felt so unattractive recently. She didn't think that Daniel would cheat on her though, she knew he loved her and she trusted him. Getting in the car after him, Isley took his hand. "How far away is the hotel?" Daniel - 05/16/2018 "GPS says ten miles so not too far." he began the short drive. "How are you feeling after driving for so long? We probably shouldn't have pushed that." Isley - 05/16/2018 "I'm okay, baby, just tired. I think the babies were asleep the whole time, so it wasn't too bad." She brought his hand to her lips. Daniel - 05/16/2018 He nodded his head "We still have so much to go. This not flying thing is going to be a little rough."(edited) Isley - 05/16/2018 "We can do it. I made it all the way to Chicago without flying." Daniel - 05/16/2018 "I know. It's just inconvenient is all. We would have been there by now." Isley - 05/16/2018 “I don’t mind. It’s an adventure. Plus we get to take Rufus.” May 17, 2018 Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Are you going to feel that way everytime we go somewhere though?" Isley - 05/17/2018 “I don’t see why not. I don’t like flying, anyways.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 Daniel was used to just picking up and leaving to be somewhere quick so this would be an adjustment. When he pulled into the parking lot of the hotel, he leaned over to give her a kiss. "I'll go get our room keys." he told her before getting out and heading inside where he spoke to the hotel clerk to get their room. He emerged from the building moments later with room keys in hand and after finding a parking spot, got out to get the bags and carry them inside. After getting into the room and setting their things on the floor, he fell to the bed with a happy sigh. "I'm glad we decided not to drive still. I'm beat." Isley - 05/17/2018 Isley smiled into his quick kiss, rubbing her belly as she waited for him to come back. Finally, they were settled in the hotel room. She collapsed beside him on the bed, immediately wiggling out of her pants. “Me too. I didn’t realize how tired I was until now.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Me neither." he said ss he worked in stripping down to his underwear. Once his clothes were in a pile on the floor, he got settled beside her with his hand in her belly. Isley - 05/17/2018 “I think they’re waking up.” She said with a smile as she felt the babies begin to stir. “This is so amazing. Our babies inside me.” She said, pulling up her shirt and staring at his hand on her in awe. Daniel - 05/17/2018 He smiled at her words and began to rub his thumb along her belly. "Hi babies." he said softly. "it is amazing. Makes me feel so in love with you." Isley - 05/17/2018 “Really?” She asked, placing a hand on his cheek. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "I'm already very in love with you, but making me a father.... I just love you so much." he gave her a kiss. Isley - 05/17/2018 She kissed him back deeply, before speaking against his lips. “I love you too. Thank you for helping me make these little angels.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "I can't picture doing this with anybody else." he smiled. Isley - 05/17/2018 “C’mere.” She said with a smile, kissing him again and running her hands through his hair. Daniel - 05/17/2018 He happily kissed her back, his arm moving around her to be closer. Isley - 05/17/2018 She couldn’t decide what she wanted more-sleep or sex. His arm moving up and down her body, though, made the decision for her. Biting his lip, she put a leg up on his hip to get closer. Daniel - 05/17/2018 Daniel hadn't anticipated things getting physical but he wasn't going to pull away from it either. As her leg hooked around him, his hand moved to her ass so he could press against her. His lips moved more heatedly against hers. Isley - 05/17/2018 Isley pushed her hips into his, turned on by the hardness she felt against her. She buried her hand in his hair before biting his lip again and trailing kisses down his neck. Daniel - 05/17/2018 Daniel wished that he could push her back against the bed and take control, but the pregnancy really stopped him from having that kind of fun. Not that he would have it any other way. Instead, he focused on moving his hand to her press against her clit to work her up more. Isley - 05/17/2018 A moan fell out of Isley's mouth as his fingers deftly moved on her. Her breathing became erratic and she came almost immediately, faster than she ever had become. "Holy..." She said, a little confused as to what had just happened. Daniel - 05/17/2018 He pulled away to look at her with drawn in eyebrows. "Did you just orgasm already?" He asked with a small laugh. Isley - 05/17/2018 "I think my body is getting super sensitive." Isley said, blushing a little and looking away. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "You're supposed to tell me that I'm just that good." He teased lightly, kissing down to her neck. "Do you still want more?" Isley - 05/17/2018 "That too." She said, moaning again as he moved down her neck. "Always." She answered, shoving her hand down his boxers. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Good, cause I'm too hard to want to stop." He said, though he was sure she knew that when her hand moved to him. He let his teeth scrape her skin before he sucked lightly. Isley - 05/17/2018 "Yes you are, baby." She replied, her voice a bit husky as even more lust took over her. "Fuck me," she finally begged. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Do you want to be on top or..?" He asked her, still not sure what positions were the best for her right now. Isley - 05/17/2018 “Whatever you want.” She answered breathlessly. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "How about.. You ride me cause it's been a minute." He suggested. Isley - 05/17/2018 Isley nodded, enthusiastically climbing on top of him and wasting no time in sinking down onto him. She couldn’t help but yell out a little as he filled her. Daniel - 05/17/2018 He lay on his back just in time for her to climb on top of him and he was glad that there was no teasing involved. "Fuck, Isley.." He groaned as his hand moved to her chest. Isley - 05/17/2018 She smirked a bit at the sound of her name on his lips, loving the way it sounded. She arched her back, pressing her chest into his hand as she began to ride him as roughly as she could. Daniel - 05/17/2018 Daniel watched her blissfully as she moved on top of him. Sex had been more scarce since his accident, between his issues and her pregnancy, but it was still amazing every time they were able to be together. He sat up, his hand moving to the back of her neck as he kissed her heatedly. Isley - 05/17/2018 She loved when he couldn’t keep his hands off her like this, especially since she had felt so fat lately. She kissed him back with just as much passion, opening her mouth so his tongue could dominate hers. The whole time they kissed, she continued bouncing up and down on him. Daniel - 05/17/2018 He was completely lost in his fiancee as they kissed passionately. It wasn't until he was sure he couldn't hold off much longer that he pulled away, but wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so fucking close, baby." he told her as his lips moved to her neck roughly. Isley - 05/17/2018 She began to moan louder as she grew close for a second time. Her hips began to move erratically as Daniel spoke. “Cum, baby.” She ordered, releasing around him. Daniel - 05/17/2018 His eyes clenched shut as his body tensed until he let out a groan with his release. He stayed sitting with her in his arms, his hand now running along her back. Isley - 05/17/2018 She panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. She loved when he stayed inside her after sex, it felt even more intimate. “You feel so good all the time. I want to stay like this forever.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Me too." he whispered, peppering kisses along her neck before he lifted his head to give her a real kiss. Isley - 05/17/2018 Isley giggled as he kissed her neck, smiling into their kiss when their lips met. “I love you.” She whispered against him. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "I love you too." he smiled. "I'm glad we are getting away together." Isley - 05/17/2018 “Me too, back where it all began.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Exactly." he rest his forehead against hers. He wasn't entirely sure why he was feeling the need to be so close right then but he was going to soak in all the affection she would give him. "And I can't wait to marry you." Isley - 05/17/2018 Isley rubbed her nose against his in an Eskimo kiss before nuzzling his neck and wrapping her arms tighter around him. “Me neither. You’re my everything.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "You're mine." He replied, sighed contently. "I don't know how we are still awake right now." Isley - 05/17/2018 “I’m gonna fall asleep right here. I don’t want you to pull out yet.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Makes me feel close to you to be this way." he said softly. Isley - 05/17/2018 Isley nodded in his neck. “It’s been hard lately. I feel like I’ve missed you even though we’ve been together.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "I know... I'm sorry." he whispered. "Things have been weird but I feel like they're getting back on track, right?" Isley - 05/17/2018 “Don’t be sorry. It’s no one’s fault, there’s just been so much happening we haven’t really had time to connect like this, I feel like.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "Well, we will have all the time in the world to be together while we are in Vermont." he said with a small smile. Isley - 05/17/2018 She nodded again, kissing his neck. "Our wedding and honeymoon all in one." Daniel - 05/17/2018 "I wish I could give you an amazing wedding and a honeymoon you would remember forever." he said quietly. Isley - 05/17/2018 "You are right now. And you're giving me the best wedding present, too-a family." Isley replied assuredly, cupping his face to make sure he was listening to her. Daniel - 05/17/2018 His eyes looked between hers before he gave her a small smile. "I just want to give you everything." Isley - 05/17/2018 “You are, baby. There’s nothing more I could possibly want.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 Daniel was used to giving the best of everything there was to offer so it was hard for him not to dwell on their less than perfect situation. He knew Isley was happy with things and that's what mattered. "As long as you are happy." Isley - 05/17/2018 “Are you?” She asked, suddenly a bit concerned. Daniel - 05/17/2018 "I am. I'm just.. I dwell on small details. This shouldn't be news." he said with a small laugh. Isley - 05/17/2018 She laughed with him. “I know. I’m just making sure the big details are making you happy.” Daniel - 05/17/2018 "You, babies, marriage. I'm fine." he told her with smile and a nod. Isley - 05/17/2018 “Good, now let’s get some sleep.” She kissed him gently before climbing off him and laying next to him in bed. Daniel - 05/17/2018 He lay down with a yawn and pulled the blankets up before patting the bed so Rufus would jump up and lay at their feet. His arm wrapped around Isley and he whispered a goodnight before drifting off. May 20, 2018 Isley - 05/20/2018 Isley woke up a few hours later, but only because the sun was shining in her eyes. Groaning, she rolled over, suddenly starving. Instead of getting up, though, she just snuggled deeper in Dan, needing to be close to him. She kissed him gently, trying to wake him up. Daniel - 05/20/2018 Daniel felt kisses and sighed as he began to wake up. "No, baby." He said, half asleep. May 21, 2018 Isley - 05/21/2018 "Love me!" She whined. Daniel - 05/21/2018 "You keep waking me up so early." He said with a pout. Isley - 05/21/2018 "I'm in labor!" She yelled, trying to wake him up. Daniel - 05/21/2018 "You're not." He groaned as his eyes fought to open. "You're so mean." Isley - 05/21/2018 "The babies are awake now, which means I'm not going back to sleep, which means you're not." Daniel - 05/21/2018 He sighed once more and finally opened his eyes as he sat up to stretch. "What time is it?" Isley - 05/21/2018 "It's 10:30, actually. It just feels later because we didn't sleep until later." Daniel - 05/21/2018 "Check out is at eleven." he said with a yawn as he stood up and began to go through their suitcase to find clothes. Isley - 05/21/2018 Isley groaned. "Does that mean we don't have time to shower?" Daniel - 05/21/2018 "If it's quick we can." he said with a nod, setting his clothes aside so he could go start the shower. Isley - 05/21/2018 Isley nodded, quickly stripping and running to pee. She hopped in the shower after, groaning as the warm water washed over her.(edited) Daniel - 05/21/2018 Daniel moved aside for her when she got into the shower, putting his arms around her from behind. Isley - 05/21/2018 "Ouch!" She exclaimed as one of the babies suddenly kicked her right in the ribs. She groaned again, leaning most of her weight against Daniel, taking his hand and placing it where the babies were kicking. Daniel - 05/21/2018 "Are they being wild?" he asked her as he lightly rubbed her belly. Isley - 05/21/2018 "Mmhmm." She nodded, closing her eyes. They were still kicking, but it wasn't hurting anymore. "I like feeling them move. And when they respond to your voice...I'm so happy." Daniel - 05/21/2018 "I love it so much." he smiled, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. Isley - 05/21/2018 She sighed. "Alright, we better finish up." She began to wash her hair and body. Daniel - 05/21/2018 He rubbed himself down with body wash and rinsed off quickly before stepping out and drying off. He brushed his teeth and then got dressed so he could focus on making sure everything they had brought in was packed away in the suitcase. Isley - 05/21/2018 She followed his lead, toweling off quickly and getting ready to go. A few minutes later, they were off again. “Do you wanna drive or should I? How are you feeling?” Daniel - 05/21/2018 Now that Daniel was awake enough to listen to his body, he felt like shit and he honestly wanted to take his medication but he wanted to drive as well so he gave her a tight smile. "I'm good to drive." He said as he grabbed the keys and got in the driver's seat. Isley - 05/21/2018 Isley saw that he was holding back, but she didn't want to challenge him. She knew how much it meant to him t o be strong and in control, so she just nodded and walked around the car, climbing in and buckling up. "How far away are we?" Daniel - 05/21/2018 "Five hours, I think. Somewhere around there." he said with a shrug as he started the car and began to drive. Isley - 05/21/2018 "That's not too bad." She said, moving one hand to her stomach and the other to the back of his neck, rubbing it. "So we're getting married tomorrow." May 22, 2018 Daniel - 05/22/2018 "We are." he smiled. "How ya feeling about it?" Isley - 05/22/2018 "I'm excited." She said, laughing giddily. "I'm going to change my name as soon as we get back." Daniel - 05/22/2018 "Good. Isley Bennett sounds great." he told her with a nod. Isley - 05/22/2018 "I agree. What about you? How are you feeling about it?" Daniel - 05/22/2018 "I'm ready to have things settled."

Isley-05/22/2018

"And to marry the love of your life." Isley teased with a roll of her eyes.

Daniel-05/22/2018

"That too." he said with a chuckle.

Isley-05/22/2018

"So romantic." She teased again.

Daniel-05/22/2018

"I tell you romantic things all the time, you're fine." he joked.

Isley-05/22/2018

"I'm literally not." She said dramatically.

Daniel-05/22/2018

"poor poor Isley." he teased.

Isley-05/22/2018

"I know. My life is so hard."

Daniel-05/22/2018

"It is. You should run far away."

Isley-05/22/2018

"Yeah, like to Vermont or something."

Daniel-05/22/2018

"We're not running." he laughed. "Okay so... I gotta tell you something. Margot apparently is proposing to that bar dude."

Isley-05/22/2018

"Flynn? I've met him once before. He seemed nice enough. But wait, I thought she was in love with Eli?"

Daniel-05/22/2018

"That's what I said and she started telling me I'm ugly and shit."

Isley-05/22/2018

Isley couldn't help but burst out in laughter at that. "Ugly? That's hilarious."

Daniel-05/22/2018

"I think she was just lashing out because I wasn't agreeing with her but it was stupid. The entire reason we went for that plane ride was because she was so upset about being torn between those two and now she's proposing." he scoffed.

Isley-05/22/2018

"Well babe, maybe she had the same realization you did when the plane crashed. Maybe it put things in perspective and she decided." Isley shrugged.

Daniel-05/22/2018

"She almost killed us, Isley. For something that she turned around and resolved right away. It's stupid."

Isley-05/22/2018

Isley didn't agree with him, but didn't feel like arguing about it the day before they got married. "Maybe." She said simply, before taking his hand and turning on some music, singing along.

Daniel-05/22/2018

Daniel was annoyed that she wasn't agreeing with him and he wanted to push it but she had dismissed it by turning the music up. He pulled his hand from her to place it on the wheel, trying to push past annoyance at the entire Margot situation.

Isley-05/22/2018

When he pulled away, she frowned, feeling hurt. She stopped singing, leaning her head against the window as they drove in silence.

Daniel-05/22/2018

Daniel was content in driving in silence for a long time until his stomach began to growl with hunger. He kept his eye out for an exit with restaurants before turning off of the highway so they could find food. "Burgers?"

Isley-05/22/2018

Isley nodded excitedly. "I'm always hungry." She said, sitting up straighter in her seat, pushing on a foot that had started pressing against her too hard.

Daniel-05/22/2018

Daniel stopped in front of a diner and had to pause as both the pain in his head and ribs was making themselves more apparent. He pushed through it and got out of the car, not wanting to take the medication he had. He waited for Isley to get out before walking to the door and opening it for her. Once inside, he found a booth and let her slide in first before sitting down and picking the menu up.

Isley-05/22/2018

She had always made fun of same side couples, but now she understood why they did it. She wanted to be as close to Daniel as often as she could. Instead of picking up her own menu, she leaned her head on Daniel's shoulder, reading over it. "I think I'm gonna get a milkshake."

Daniel-05/22/2018

"Instead of food?" He asked, surprised.

Isley-05/22/2018

Isley laughed. "God no, in addition to."

Daniel-05/22/2018

"Oh, I was gonna say." He didn't think anything sounded good but his stomach was definitely telling him otherwise. He set the menu down, deciding he would just order a bacon cheeseburger. He knew his mood had slipped and that he should probably medicate a little bit to get through the rest of the car ride, but he wanted to drive still so he was still trying to see if the feeling would go away. "What are you getting?" He asked her so he could order for her.

Isley-05/22/2018

"I want a bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce. And a cookies and cream milkshake."

Daniel-05/22/2018

When the waitress walked over to them, he ordered their food then relaxed against the back of the seat. "I'm ready to be there. I just wanna sleep."

Isley-05/22/2018

“Me too. I just want snuggles.”

Daniel-05/22/2018

"We will have to go grocery shopping when we get there... Unless I have someone do it for us so we can just go straight to the cabin."

Isley-05/22/2018

“Let’s just do that. I don’t wanna wait longer than we have to.”

Daniel-05/22/2018

"I don't either. I'm ready to relax."

Isley-05/22/2018

“Mmhmm.” She nodded lazily. “Hey, I love you.” She added, looking up at him.

Daniel-05/22/2018

He turned his head to look at her, giving her a small smile. "I love you too. Sorry I'm in a bad mood.. You might have to drive." he admitted with a scrunch of his nose.

Isley-05/22/2018

She nodded, kissing him gently, lingering against his lips for a moment before pulling away. “That’s okay. I was getting car sick anyways, and driving helps.”May 23, 2018

Daniel-05/23/2018

He nodded his head, feeling stupid for needing a break from driving already. "Okay.. Good." he gave her a small smile.

Isley-05/23/2018

She kissed him again before resting her head against his shoulder once more. Feeling the babies kicking wildly, she laughed. "I think Mila and Liam are hungry."

Daniel-05/23/2018

"Good thing the food is coming." he said and chuckled as their plates arrived just as he said it.

Isley-05/23/2018

Isley dug in as soon as her plate was set in front of her, completely unashamed. When she began eating, the babies settled down. She didn't speak until she had finished her whole burger, then she looked up at Daniel. "Good idea."

Daniel-05/23/2018

Daniel ate quietly, contently. He didn't eat his entire burger with the way he was feeling, but enough to settle his stomach. He smiled at Isley, giving her a nod. "We forgot to eat breakfast, we needed to get something in us." He said as he made eye contact with their waitress in hopes she would return to the table. Thankfully, moments later she arrived with their check and he pulled cash out to leave with her before standing up with a small stretch. He held his hand out to help her out of the booth "Should we get out of here?"

Isley-05/23/2018

"Yes sir." Isley answered before taking the last sip of her milkshake. She took his hand and slid out, taking advantage of the fact that even despite the plane crash, he was stronger than her and could help her out. They walked out to the car, and Isley slid behind the steering wheel. She had to scoot the seat up, but not that much. Usually, she would've had to adjust it significantly, but now her stomach didn't allow her to sit as close as she used to. "You should take some meds and take a nap."

Daniel-05/23/2018

Daniel got into the car and looked over at her as he put his seat belt on. "I don't want to fall asleep on you and make you drive alone." He shook his head.

Isley-05/23/2018

"Are you sure? I always have Bon Iver to keep me company."

Daniel-05/23/2018

"Am I being that miserable?" He asked her playfully.(edited)

Isley-05/23/2018

"Oh yeah. You're lucky I didn't drug your drink back at the diner." She teased back.

Daniel-05/23/2018

"I guess if you don't mind driving while I sleep then I'll see what I can do." He said as he turned around to look for the small bag that held his medication.

Isley-05/23/2018

Isley knew he didn't want to take his medication so that he could be "strong", but she wanted him to feel good, not to mention he needed the rest to finish healing. She looked over at him as he grabbed the medicine, watching him. She groaned as she saw his muscles strain. "Damnit, Daniel, now I'm horny."

Daniel-05/23/2018

"What did I do?" He asked her with a confused laugh as he sat back once again, putting the pill in his mouth and taking a drink from his water bottle.

Isley-05/23/2018

"You're just so hot all the time, it's not fair!"

Daniel-05/23/2018

"Well baby, we're gonna have to reign it in until we get to the cabin. I don't know if we can fuck in here."May 24, 2018

Isley-05/24/2018

“You’re not allowed to say fuck, I only hear it in one way.” She scolded.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He looked at her with a smirk "Fuck."

Isley-05/24/2018

She groaned, fighting the urge to pull over. “See, when you say that, I only hear you saying Fuck, baby while I choke on your cock.” Isley said, trying to level the playing field.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Yeah? You're welcome to do that." he shrugged.

Isley-05/24/2018

"Damnit! Do I have no effect on you at all?" She sighed exasperatedly.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Of course you do." he said with a laugh.

Isley-05/24/2018

“Good, because I feel like I’m about to explode right now and it’s only fair you do too.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I wouldn't say I'm that bad off." he said with a small laugh. "Find somewhere to pull over and we'll figure it out..." he offered.

Isley-05/24/2018

She rolled her eyes at him, a little frustrated he wasn’t as turned on as her. She guessed that’s just what happened when there was an indiscriminate amount of hormones flowing through her. “I guess I can make it.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Fine." He said with a scoff. "If Rufus weren't with us, it would be a little easier for us to climb in the back but I think it's probably better we don't try in here anyways. That just means we'll have more fun when we get to the cabin."

Isley-05/24/2018

“True. I don’t want to scar him, anyway.” She said with a laugh, looking over at him.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"He's seen some shit." He laughed.

Isley-05/24/2018

“I’m pretending that you only mean me.” She said, a teasing smile on her face.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I was a virgin before I met you." he teased back.

Isley-05/24/2018

“Me too. We deflowered each other.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"You sure knew what you were doing for a first timer..." He gave her a smirk.

Isley-05/24/2018

“You weren’t too bad yourself.” Isley said, thinking back on their first time, in the shower at Vermont. “Okay stop!”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"You started it and now it's all I want to talk about. It's not my fault."

Isley-05/24/2018

“I’m literally wet right now, it isn’t fair.” She pouted.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Babe..." He smiled at her innocently. "I can't wait to get there. I want to fuck you so bad."

Isley-05/24/2018

“James Daniel Bennett!” Isley scolded, her voice tight. “That’s playing dirty. I really am going to have to pull over if you keep talking.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"We literally have no where to do it in here." He said with a laugh. "Let's get a motel room for like an hour."

Isley-05/24/2018

“Are you serious? You can’t joke like that with me right now.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I think I'm serious." he shrugged.

Isley-05/24/2018

“You think?”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"We should go to a really seedy motel where I can pay with cash and pretend you're my mistress." he joked.

Isley-05/24/2018

“I kinda was.” She joked back.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Not really though. Did we even kiss before the divorce?"

Isley-05/24/2018

“I think we did once on the day of the ball, when you texted me and complimented you and I asked you to come over. We didn’t have sex until after the divorce though.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Then... I don't think that counts."

Isley-05/24/2018

“I mean, I was in love with you the whole time.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Back to sex." he joked.

Isley-05/24/2018

She rolled her eyes at him again, nudging him playfully with one hand. “Is that all I’m good for?”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"You're a baby incubator too.. Sometimes you make me food."

Isley-05/24/2018

“That’s it, wedding’s off!” She yelled.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He laughed "Hey, why did we stop exploring the motel idea?"

Isley-05/24/2018

“Let me know when you see one and we’ll pull over.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Do you really want to? Cause you didn't seem all that excited about that idea."

Isley-05/24/2018

“Excuse me, I’m the one who wanted to fuck more.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Well not to dampen the moment but we're gonna have to wait a solid.... 35 minutes so these pain killers kick in."

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley shrugged. “I’ll probably still be horny. You’re pretty hot.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I'll talk you up till then." he joked, his hand moving to her thigh.

Isley-05/24/2018

Her breath caught in her throat and squirmed in her seat. “Your hand is doing a good enough job by itself.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Can you handle being touched while you drive?" he asked as his hand inched up.

Isley-05/24/2018

She bit her lip, suppressing a groan. To be honest, she didn’t know if she could. “I don’t know, I just know I really want your mouth on me.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Yeah? I do love eating you out, baby. I'll do whatever you want."

Isley-05/24/2018

This time, she couldn't stop the groan. She re-positioned herself in her seat, trying to gain some sort of self control and failing. "I wanna taste myself on your lips."

Daniel-05/24/2018

Daniel smiled at her words "That's so hot, baby. You're getting me hard."

Isley-05/24/2018

"It's only fair." She shrugged with a smirk, reaching over and feeling him with one hand as she drove with the other.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"We're gonna have to pull over baby.. Even if we can't fuck. We can just mess around for a minute."

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley didn’t need to be told twice. She pulled over immediately, grateful that they were on a deserted back road. “Move your seat back.” She demanded, her hand going back to his crotch as she waited. After he moved back, she climbed over the center console onto his lap, kissing him feverishly.

Daniel-05/24/2018

Daniel wasn't sure how much they could do even with the seat pushed back but he was willing to try if she was. He hit the button to recline his seat and his arms wrapped around her as he kissed her back just as desperately.

Isley-05/24/2018

She ground her hips against his, biting his lip before trailing kisses down his neck and collarbone. She was also grateful that she had chosen to wear a dress that day as she felt his hardness pressing against her through his jeans.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He worked on getting the seat further back before he moved his hand between her legs to rub her over her panties. "Fucking love it when you get wet like this." he said with a groan.

Isley-05/24/2018

Her hips jerked as he began to touch her. His words turned her on even more, and she was at the point that her thighs were wet, too. “More, baby.” She begged.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He pushed the fabric aside so he could push his finger into her, then soon a second finger.

Isley-05/24/2018

She bit her own lip hard as his fingers entered her, before moving her lips back to his and kissing him fervently as he worked her. “I need you to fuck me. Do you think we can fuck here?”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I'm so hard, we gotta." he moved his hand from her so he could get his jeans undone and clumsily pushed them down enough to expose himself.

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley nodded, raising herself up so he could pull his pants down. When he was done, she sank down on him hard and fast. “Fuck!” She yelled as he stretched her.

Daniel-05/24/2018

A breath left him as she sunk down onto him. Sitting up a little, his lips latched to her neck as he moved his hips up against her.

Isley-05/24/2018

His lips on her had an even stronger effect than usual, causing her to jerk her hips erratically as she moved on hip. She knew she wasn’t going to last long.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He had to fall back against the seat once more as she began to move harder. He knew this was almost over, a fact of which was good. "I'm cumming, baby.. Fuck!" he said as his eyes clenched while his body released.

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley rode him as hard as she could given their circumstances, reaching down between them to rub her clit, getting her off at the same time as Daniel. She leaned forward, biting his shoulder as she came hard around him. “Jesus, Daniel.” She panted against his skin.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He rubbed her back gently "I am glad we could make that happen." he said with a small laugh.

Isley-05/24/2018

“Me too.” She said, laughing along with him. “You just get me so worked up sometimes I can’t help myself.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I wanna say I have more self control but something about you takes it right out of me."

Isley-05/24/2018

“I’m glad it’s not just me then.” She kissed him gently

Daniel-05/24/2018

He kissed her back "To be fair, I don't know if I would have got to this point like this without you mentioning choking on my cock.." he joked with a small smirk.

Isley-05/24/2018

“Hey, I didn’t wanna be the only one who was super turned on.” She laughed and shrugged.(edited)

Daniel-05/24/2018

"You know dirty talk gets to me." he said with a laugh.

Isley-05/24/2018

“I do my best.” She rested her forehead against his for another moment before giving him one last kiss and moving back to the drivers seat, adjusting her dress and panties.

Daniel-05/24/2018

When she moved off of him, he pulled his pants back up and adjusted the seat. "Okay, get us there so we can do that a few more times."

Isley-05/24/2018

She laughed. “Okay, deal. I do believe I need to choke on your cock and you need to eat me out, so I’ll go as fast as I can.” She started the car and pulled back onto the road.(edited)

Daniel-05/24/2018

"Babe, I just came inside of you! You shouldn't have let me do that."

Isley-05/24/2018

“God damnit.” She groaned. “I always forget, and it feels so good when you do.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

"We will take a bath together when we get there, how about that?"

Isley-05/24/2018

“Sounds good.” She said with a smile, taking his hand as they drove.

Daniel-05/24/2018

The medication was beginning to kick in, making him tired. He held her hand and soon was sleeping with his head against the headrest.

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley smiled at him sleeping, glad he was able to get some rest. A few hours later, she nudged him awake as she pulled into the driveway of his family’s cabin. “Baby, we’re here.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

Daniel woke with a small groan, but smiled as he realized they wee at the cabin finally. He got out of the car and let Rufus out, who excitedly ran all over the property marking his territory. Rufus wasn't one to run off, so Daniel let him do his thing while he unloaded the car and brought their things into the cabin.

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley tried to help, but there wasn’t much she could really do since she was pregnant and not strong to begin with. Once everything was in, Isley went straight to the bedroom and laid down.

Daniel-05/24/2018

Daniel got a drink from the kitchen, then made sure Rufus was in the house before he mad his way to the bedroom. "tired?" he asked.

Isley-05/24/2018

“Mmhmm...” Isley said pitifully, holding her arms out for him to join her.

Daniel-05/24/2018

He moved to the bed and crawled beside her, his hand moving to her belly.

Isley-05/24/2018

Isley snuggled into his side, lifting her dress up over her bump. “Watch this, I discovered it the other day.” She tapped her fingers along her belly like a little dance, and you could see a baby moving where she had touched her stomach, little feet and hands making her bump move. “I think this is Liam.”

Daniel-05/24/2018

Daniel watched with a grin. "That's so awesome." he said, mimicking her movement so she would do it again.

Isley-05/24/2018

“It’s like we’re playing tag.” Isley said with a laugh as they kept kicking.

Daniel-05/24/2018

"I love it." he kept his hand on her belly so he could feel the kicks. "I want to hold them so bad. I can't wait."May 25, 2018

Isley-05/25/2018

“Me neither. You’re going to be such a good daddy, baby.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"You'll be the best mommy. They will love you so much. '

Isley-05/25/2018

“I’m so in love with you and our little family.” She said, smiling up at him.

Daniel-05/25/2018

"I very in love with you and our family too. I'm excited for us all to have the same last name."

Isley-05/25/2018

"Me too. Speaking of, when do you want to go to the court tomorrow?"

Daniel-05/25/2018

"I guess whenever we get up and get ready." He shrugged.

Isley-05/25/2018

She nodded. "What time is it now?"

Daniel-05/25/2018

"It's..." He looked at the time on his phone. "About 3."

Isley-05/25/2018

"Ugh," She groaned. "Bath?"

Daniel-05/25/2018

Daniel was still pretty tired and didn't feel like moving but he nodded his head. "Let's go." he said and got up to go the bathroom. He started the water, keeping his hand under it until he was sure it was the right temperature, before he stripped down and sunk in.

Isley-05/25/2018

Isley followed his lead, stepping in and laying between his legs. "Look, it's sticking out now." She said, referring to her bump.

Daniel-05/25/2018

Both of his hands moved to her bump as she called attention to it. "They're getting bigger."

Isley-05/25/2018

"All three of us are. These stretch marks are starting to get real bad."

Daniel-05/25/2018

"What can help that? Or do you care?"

Isley-05/25/2018

"I think vitamin E does." She shrugged. "I mean, I care to an extent. I don't think they're very sexy."

Daniel-05/25/2018

"But you are very sexy no matter what."

Isley-05/25/2018

"Thanks, I just don't feel it. I mean, I only have an issue with stretch marks on my stomach. I don't mine the little ones I have on my butt and legs. And boobs, now."

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Well as long you know that I don't care about it. I know it sucks to have your body change and stuff."

Isley-05/25/2018

Isley nodded, turning her head and leaning her cheek against him. “Thank you for being so supportive.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Well, I did it to you so I can't really not be." he teased.

Isley-05/25/2018

She laughed. “Okay, true. But still, thank you. You’re amazing.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"You are giving me everything I've ever wanted. A family, love.. You're the amazing one."

Isley-05/25/2018

She turned as best she could, kissing him. “I wonder if our babies will like baths as much as we do.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"I don't know. I never liked them so much before. I think it's just like a comfort thing now to be close to you. And to get you naked." He joked.

Isley-05/25/2018

“I liked them before, but I didn’t take them as often.” She laughed. “Same, especially since we can’t get as close as we used to.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Well, we're gonna have an awesome tub in our bathroom at the house. It will be good if you ever get pregnant again."

Isley-05/25/2018

“Do you think we will? Have any more kids?”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"I don't know. I guess we gotta see how we feel after these two. I think I'll be content with three, but I know you want a bigger family."

Isley-05/25/2018

"Yeah, it just depends on if we can handle these two. They already seem like a handful." She laughed as her point was made by a stray hand or foot kicking her.

Daniel-05/25/2018

"They're pretty energetic." He said with a laugh. "And I was a little monster child so I am sure I'll be getting that back as karma."

Isley-05/25/2018

She laughed again, rolling her eyes. "Great, and there are two of them. I'm just gonna pop 'em out and leave."

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Rude." He laughed. "To be fair, I think I was only like that because my parents left us with the nanny so often and that was one way I could get my mom to cancel trips and stuff. If I acted out bad enough she would stay home, so I was like hell yeah I'll scribble on the walls today so mommy will stay home."

Isley-05/25/2018

"Plus who doesn't want to scribble on the walls?" She added. "But if that's the case, our babies will be angels, because I probably won't leave them alone for thirty years."

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Yeah, we'll probably smother them and they'll hate us for it." He joked.

Isley-05/25/2018

"I can live with that. And so can they." She rubbed her belly. "Oh, and look at this. I have the pregnancy line now."

Daniel-05/25/2018

He examined her belly, then chuckled. "Weird. Everyone gets that?"

Isley-05/25/2018

"I googled it when it started to show up. Apparently two-thirds get it. It's called the linea nigra. Apparently everyone has something called the linea alba, and it's where your left and right ab muscles meet. But when you get knocked up, the muscles start to separate and you get the line."

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Hm.. I guess that's kind of cool. Muscles separating sounds painful, but most of the pregnancy stuff sounds painful to me."

Isley-05/25/2018

She laughed loudly. “I know I complain, but it’s gotten a lot better. No more morning sickness, less cravings...I do pee a lot more now though, not to mention these tiny soccer players go hard on me sometimes. I don’t know, I have a love-hate relationship with being pregnant.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"At least you haven't been crazy like I hear pregnant women become. We've hardly fought at all... I mean, a little but there's been a lot of stress too."

Isley-05/25/2018

“We might have if you hadn’t gone and been so dramatic as to get in a plane crash. I mean seriously, who does that?” She teased.

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Idiots, that's who. Wasn't even worth it." He sighed.

Isley-05/25/2018

“Really. If you wanted to propose to me, you could’ve done it like a normal person.”

Daniel-05/25/2018

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll remember that next time."May 26, 2018

Isley-05/26/2018

She laughed. “Oh, next time?”

Daniel-05/26/2018

"I mean, there better not be a next time." He joked.

Isley-05/26/2018

"That's what I thought." She said, smiling widely.

Daniel-05/26/2018

"I'm pretty sure if I lost you at this point, I'd just have to give up on everything altogether. I love you way too much for that shit."

Isley-05/26/2018

"Me too. You're my one great love."

Daniel-05/26/2018

"Good. So... We gonna continue what we started in the car..?" he asked playfully.

Isley-05/26/2018

She laughed lightly, twisting around in the tub so she was on his lap and facing him. "You're going to have to remind me, what was it?"

Daniel-05/26/2018

"Well, I'm pretty sure you brought up blow jobs." He teased her before pressing light kisses to her neck.

Isley-05/26/2018

“And choking, don’t forget the choking.” She said a bit breathlessly, her head tilting to give him more access to her neck.

Daniel-05/26/2018

"You like being choked?" He asked her, nipping at her skin.

Isley-05/26/2018

“I meant choking on your cock, baby.” She said with a light laugh.“I meant choking on your cock, baby.” She said with a light laugh.

Daniel-05/26/2018

"Well... I can do that." he laughed as well.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Wait, do you want to? Choke me?”

Daniel-05/26/2018

"I don't want..." He shook his head, trying to collect his thoughts before he spoke. "I was just wondering."

Isley-05/26/2018

Now it was her turn to kiss his neck. “I mean, we could try sometime...”

Daniel-05/26/2018

"Maybe when you're not pregnant.. We gotta chill out a little." He said with a small laugh.

Isley-05/26/2018

She groaned. “Take me to bed.”

Daniel-05/26/2018

He gave her a drawn out kiss before nodding his head and moving to get up. He got out and grabbed towels for the both of them so they wouldn't soak the bed. He handed one off to her before drying off himself.

Isley-05/26/2018

She dried off as fast as she could before immediately grabbing Daniel's face and pulling it down to hers, reattaching their lips. She stretched up on her tip toes, burying her fingers in his hair and pulling.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He grinned against her lips as they began to kiss before slowly leading her back to the bedroom, his lips still on hers. When they were close to the bed, he sat down and pulled her into his lap.

Isley-05/26/2018

Isley situated herself on him, grinding against him. She pushed him back onto the bed, kissing down his neck and chest.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He fell back against the bed and ran his hand down her back as she moved down to his neck. "You know what I miss? Laying you back and fucking you."

Isley-05/26/2018

She kissed her way down him, circling her tongue around his head before looking up at him. “Do it, then.” She taunted before taking him all the way down her throat.

Daniel-05/26/2018

"I thought they said we couldn't." He groaned, his head tilting back.

Isley-05/26/2018

She knew why they told her not to, but she didn’t want to get into the details at the moment. Besides, she wasn’t going to get a blood clot. “It’s fine.” She managed to say, keeping her mouth on him.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel couldn't argue it, mostly because she had him in her mouth and words weren't coming to him easily at all. He pushed his hips up against her to get her to focus on what she was doing .

Isley-05/26/2018

She smirked at him as he pushed himself further into her mouth, loving that she could make him lose control like that. She kept working him, one hand on the base of him and the other cupping his balls.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel, his hand moved down to her hair as he enjoyed what he was getting. After a moment, he sat up and looked down at her. "You're turn." He gave her a smirk.

Isley-05/26/2018

Goosebumps broke out on her skin as she heard his words. She gave him one last sloppy lick before getting up and rolling into her back, pulling his face towards hers again.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel kissed her heatedly. He was incredibly hard and wanted to get on with the action but he knew he had been telling her all day he would do this so he slowly pushed her back against the bed and moved off of it to his knees. He moved between her legs and pulled her closer to the edge of the bed so he could begin to press teasing kisses up her inner thighs.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Daniel...” Isley groaned, frustrated by his teasing. She was soaking wet and wanted his tongue on her right then. “Please,” she begged, a hand reaching up and squeezing her breast.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel looked up at her and gave her a small smirk before his tongue flicked along her clit, gently at first then he began to work her with more pressure.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Jesus,” she moaned as she felt his tongue against her. Her hips bucked beneath him, already feeling the pressure building in her. She gripped his hair roughly, pushing her hips against his mouth.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He groaned in response, his tongue still moving against her as he pressed a finger into her.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Daniel!” She panted, her hips moving erratically as she began to cum. She didn’t wait to catch her breath before grabbing his face and pulling him up to her. “Fuck me, now.” She demanded.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel loved feeling her cum when he was going down on her and he was more than ready when she told him to fuck her. "You can be on your back?" He double checked as he moved to the bed, still on his knees as he moved between her legs.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Yes, baby, just fuck me.” She begged, kissing him roughly. Tasting herself on him, she bit his lip.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He kissed her back heatedly as he placed himself at her center and pushed into her. Sitting up on his knees so he wouldn't be tempted to press down against her belly, he grabbed her thigh and began to thrust into her.

Isley-05/26/2018

Isley didn’t realize how much she had missed him over her like this until now. With him sitting up, her hips were forced to raise a little, and she swore she felt him in her stomach, he was so deep. Although she wasn’t as flexible as she was without a huge belly, she was still able to put one leg on his shoulder as he moved inside her.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel had missed this position so much, not that he would ever complain about sex in general. Especially when it came to Isley. "Is this okay?" He asked her.

Isley-05/26/2018

“God yes,” she panted out, already feeling a second orgasm building. “You’re so big, baby.”

Daniel-05/26/2018

"Mmm.. Fuck, baby. I love it when you tell me that." His hips moved harder into her.

Isley-05/26/2018

She smirked up at him, reaching her arms out to touch him wherever she could. “Seriously, Daniel, you feel so fucking good. Your-“ her words were cut off as he hit her g-spot. “Holy-!” She managed to get out as her whole body tended around him.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Feeling her tense around him almost caused him to come undone, but he was itching to make this last. "Can you handle one more?" He asked her, turning his head to kiss her ankle.

Isley-05/26/2018

She nodded. "I think so."

Daniel-05/26/2018

He pushed harder into her, his hand holding her leg tightly enough that she was likely going to be bruised. "I'm getting close, baby. I missed watching you under me like this."

Isley-05/26/2018

One of the reasons she liked this position was because she felt like Daniel was in complete control, and he was. His words were almost enough to push her over the edge, but not quite. Instead, she brought one of her hands to her breast again, squeezing tightly and pinching her nipple as the other hand scratched at Daniel's chest before sliding down between them to massage her clit. "Cum, baby." She said, opening her clenched eyes to meet his.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Watching her touch herself was always a turn on for him and now it was his breaking point. He pushed into her with a few more rough thrusts before coming undone with a loud groan.

Isley-05/26/2018

Isley came a few seconds before Daniel, but she kept coming as she watched him. Finally, her body relaxed. "Jesus Christ." She panted, trying to catch her breath.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He dropped her leg with a sigh, giving her a smile. "I needed that after all that sitting around today."

Isley-05/26/2018

"Me too. Plus I really missed that position." She said, situating herself on his chest.

Daniel-05/26/2018

"I did too. Why did the doctor say we couldn't do that?"

Isley-05/26/2018

"I'm more prone to blood clots." Isley explained.

Daniel-05/26/2018

"What? Then why did we do that?"

Isley-05/26/2018

"Because we wanted to, and blood clots don't run in my family. I've never had one before, and my whole pregnancy has been very healthy. Having sex one time on my back won't do anything, baby."

Daniel-05/26/2018

He paused for a long moment before shaking his head "I'm Googling ways to prevent blood clots." He said, sitting up to look for his phone.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Babe, I’m okay. I’ll get up and move around. Look, all good.” Isley stood, walking around.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He watched her for a moment before nodding his head. "Okay.. Maybe we should go on a walk."

Isley-05/26/2018

She sighed. She knew he would give in if she didn’t want to go, but she figured he’d worried enough these past weeks. “Okay, baby. We can go on a walk.”

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel was supposed to be walking every day anyways, so he figured they could get both out of the way. He stood and grabbed a suitcase so he could pull out his boxers, some jeans, and a T-shirt to put on. "I wonder if I should leash Rufus or just let him do his thing." He commented as he got dressed.

Isley-05/26/2018

Isley followed suit, pulling on some stretchy leggings and a striped tee. “Bring the leash just in case.” She said with a shrug, before tying her shoes.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He grabbed the leash out of the bag he packed for his dog, then focused on getting his shoes on. Bending over to do so though made the pain in his ribs come back and he sucked in a deep breath before disappearing into the bathroom, one shoe on, because he didn't want Isley to know. He must have moved in a different way because the pain was something he hadn't felt in a couple of weeks.

Isley-05/26/2018

She heard a sharp intake of breath from behind her and turned to check on him, but he was disappearing into the bathroom. “Babe? You okay?” She asked.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He wondered if he should pretend his stomach was upset but he decided against it and opened the door. "I'm fine. I think maybe I just wanna go to bed early instead. We can go for a walk in the morning or something." he gave her the best smile he could.

Isley-05/26/2018

She knew better than to push him about this. Nodding, she took off her clothes once more, leaving her only in her panties. Hopping on the bed, she held her arms out for him. “Snuggle me.” She demanded.

Daniel-05/26/2018

He didn't want to risk moving weird again, so he just pushed his shoe off and joined her in the bed fully clothed. He wrapped his arm around her loosely and closed his eyes. "I'm tired." he whispered.

Isley-05/26/2018

“Baby...” she began, concerned. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Daniel-05/26/2018

"Yeah, it's just been a long day. Driving, sex.. We've done a lot."

Isley-05/26/2018

She nodded, then moved to unbutton his jeans. "Let's get these off. You can't sleep like this."

Daniel-05/26/2018

"I want to." he told her softly. "Just go to sleep." he pulled her closer.

Isley-05/26/2018

Again, she wanted to argue. Again, she didn’t. Sighing, she settled into his side and drifted off to sleep.

Daniel-05/26/2018

Daniel was stubborn enough to sleep in jeans and he was quick to fall asleep with her in his arms.
