WORDS: 1178

“Alright, we ready now, my sweetheart?” Peter hummed, cupping my cheek into the palm of his hand and leaning in to press our foreheads together.

“I am my love,” I breathed, closing my eyes and keening as he blessed my temple with his lips.

 Almost three weeks had passed by totally uneventful, with Isabelle acting as the perfect nanny to the kids, leaving Peter and I with more time to ourselves for adult things, like cleaning the house, attending rehearsals for Ken Anderson’s Wednesday Addams: A Dark New Spooktacular Broadway Musical and perfect our baby making skills.

 “Alright sweetheart, our first stop will be Albony, New York,” my handsome husband told me with a quiet hum as we all packed ourselves into the car- Aria, Isabelle and Evie in the very back, and Elizabeth, Elle, Baby Tommy, mini Baby Tommy, Katie and Jing in behind Peter and I.

 “Lovely,” I hummed, excited for our road trip. Peter had secured some Type O Negative band tour t-shirts for everyone, which had a chibi styled rendering of the band on the front and dates and names of the cities on the back. Slitzy had commissioned Katie for some artwork and the band merchandise was adorable and brought a smile to my face every time I looked at the winter tour collection.

 Much like when we went to Las Vegas, the girls would have a room off of the main bedroom where Peter and I would sleep at in hotels. Isabelle had offered to bunk up with the six girls, saying that they were all so well behaved and that it was a nice change from her turbulence upbringing.

 “We can have a slumber party- sorry, no adults allowed!” she announced, giggling as she went upstairs to help Elizabeth and Katie pack. Aria and Evie both arrived the day before we left and spent the night to make it easier for us to congregate in the morning and be off on our way. Peter had also ordered a bigger sleeping cot for Baby Tommy, with the intentions of having him sleep with us both in our bedroom.

 I chuckled as Peter sent the drooping girls off to bed, promising that we would be in to say goodnight in just a minute.

 “Sweetheart, you go on in first, I’ll follow up in a minute after I’ve finished changing Baby Tommy for the night, alright?” Peter murmured gently, swatting me off to go tuck the girls into bed for the night.

 I entered the bedroom after tapping on the open door softly, finding the six girls- Aria and Evie, Elizabeth and Elle, Katie and Jing- tucked away side by side in the giant king sized bed. The couch was pulled out and made up for Isabelle, a raggedy dog plush on the pillow as I kissed the girls on their forehead.

 I looked up and smiled at Isabelle when she stepped out of the bathroom, having just had a quick shower and changed into her pajamas.

 “Hey,” she murmured in a soft voice as she stood in the doorway.

 “Hey,” I parroted back at her with a gentle smile. “I’ll be out of your hair in just a minute, I’m saying goodnight to the girls real quick.”

 “Okay,” she hummed, her eyes dropping to my chest for a long moment before her cheeks turned bright pink. I looked down and found my shirt had been pulled down from feeding Baby Tommy.

 I tugged myself back to presentable again, saying my goodnights to her as I left their hotel room. I left the door open a crack as I found Peter setting a sleeping Baby Tommy down into his cot.

 “Come now my woman,” Peter snarled, holding out a hand for me. “My dick needs your pussy.”

 I clenched as I followed his unspoken orders, stripping off my shirt and jeans to reveal sultry green and red lingerie that didn’t hide anything.

 “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK…” snarled my husband quietly as he sank to his knees before feasting on my sinful slick.

 I gasped as he tossed my knees up over his shoulders before attacking my dripping lips with his wicked tongue. In short minutes, the room was filled with the quiet sounds of my erotic moans and Peter eating me out, the two of us certain to keep the volume low.

 ~xoXox~

 I was nudged away from my husband early the next morning to allow a cluster of half a dozen bedbugs to crawl in between the two of us.

 “Good morning girls,” I yawned, noticing that my soulmate had dressed me in a nightgown the night before. “How are you all doing today?”

 “Good!” Aria chirped happily. “Today, Uncle Peter plays in New York and then tomorrow in New Jersey, right?”

 “I think so, yes!” I chuckled as Peter snorted next to me before beginning to slowly wake up. “Are you girls ready for tonight?”

 “YES YES YES!” cheered Katie as she began to bounce on the bed.

 A quiet sniffle from Baby Tommy’s cot caught my attention and before I could blink, Peter had swung his legs out of bed and scooped up the whimpering little man into his arms for a short cuddle with daddy before having his diaper changed.

 “Good morning my love!” I greeted him with a happy smile.

 “Good morning sweetheart,” he parroted back to me, making a face at his son as he fashioned his fresh diaper onto him. “Yabba dabba doo!”

 Baby Tommy erupted into happy giggles, kicking his little baby feet as he gurgled.

 “Oh yes yes yes!” Peter cooed, picking up his son and then tossing him into the air.

 THUD

 Baby Tommy promptly burst into piercing screams when his head accidently bumped into the ceiling.

 “Baby Tommy!” Peter fretted, cradling his wailing son tightly to his chest.

 “My love, I think we should take him to an urgent care for a quick check up,” I told him as I kicked the blankets off of me. “Girls, do you want to stay here or come with?”

[opera-ghosts]

Marietta Alboni (6 March 1826 – 23 June 1894) was a renowned Italian contralto opera singer. She is considered as 'one of the greatest contraltos in operatic history'. She became a pupil of Antonio Bagioli [it] of Cesena, Emilia–Romagna, and later of the composer Gioachino Rossini, when he was 'perpetual honorary adviser' in (and then the principal of) the Liceo Musicale, now Conservatorio Giovanni Battista Martini, in Bologna. Rossini tested the humble thirteen-year-old girl himself, had her admitted to the school with special treatment, and even procured her an early engagement to tour his Stabat Mater around Northern Italy, so that she could pay for her studies. After she achieved her diploma and made a modest debut in Bologna, in 1842, as "Climene" in Pacini's Saffo, she obtained a triennial engagement thanks to Rossini's influence on the impresario Bartolomeo Merelli, Intendant at both Milan's Teatro alla Scala and Vienna's Imperial Kärntnertortheater. The favourable contract was signed by Rossini himself, "on behalf of Eustachio Alboni", father of Marietta, who was still a minor. The singer remained, throughout her life, deeply grateful to her ancient "maestro", nearly a second father to her. Her debut at Teatro alla Scala took place in December 1842 as "Neocle" in the Italian version of Le siège de Corinthe, which was followed by roles in operas by Marliani, Donizetti (as "Maffio Orsini" and "Leonora" in the Scala premiere of an Italian version of La favorite), Salvi and Pacini. In the season 1844–1845 she was engaged in the Saint Petersburg Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre; later, in 1846–47, she toured the principal cities of Central Europe, finally reaching London and Paris, where she settled permanently. In London, "she appeared in leading roles by Rossini and Donizetti (where she outshone Giulia Grisi and Jenny Lind) and also sang Cherubino (performing with Henriette Sontag)". For the 1848 London run of Les Huguenots, Meyerbeer transposed the role of the page "Urbain" 'from soprano to contralto and composed the aria "Non! – non, non, non, non, non! Vous n'avez jamais, je gage" in Act 2' for her.On 28 August 1848, she sang at a concert in Manchester's Concert Hall, sharing the stage with Lorenzo Salvi and Frédéric Chopin. She toured the United States in 1852–53, appearing there with Camilla Urso. In 1853 she wed a nobleman, Count Carlo Pepoli, of the Papal States, but she kept her maiden name for the stage. In 1863 she had to retire the first time on account of her husband's serious mental illness. He died in 1867. A year later, in 1868, Alboni would take part in the funeral of her beloved master and friend, Rossini, in the Église de la Sainte-Trinité. There she sang, alongside Adelina Patti, the leading soprano of the time, a stanza of Dies irae, "Liber scriptum", adjusted to the music of the duet "Quis est Homo" from Rossini's own Stabat Mater. Out of deference to her master, she also accepted to resume her singing career mainly in order to tour the orchestral version of the Petite messe solennelle around Europe. Rossini had once expressed his hope that she would take upon herself to perform it when he was dead. He had said that he had composed it, and especially the new section "O salutaris", just having her voice in mind. In 1872 she permanently retired from the stage with four performances of "Fidalma" in Cimarosa's Il matrimonio segreto, at the Paris Théâtre des Italiensbut, in fact, she never gave up singing in private and in benefit concerts. When in 1887 the French and Italian Governments agreed upon moving the mortal remains of Rossini into the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, Alboni, then a sixty-one-year-old lady living in seclusion, wrote to the Italian Foreign Minister, Di Robilant, proposing that the Petite Messe Solennelle, "the last musical composition by Rossini", be performed in Santa Croce the day of the funeral, and "demanding the honour, as an Italian and a pupil of the immortal Maestro," of singing it herself in her "dear and beloved homeland". Her wish,

however, never came true and she was just given the chance of being present at the exhumation ceremony in Paris. The Paris correspondent of the Rome newspaper Il Fanfulla wrote on the occasion: "photographers snapped in the same shot the greatest performer of Cenerentola and Semiramide, and what is left of the man who wrote these masterpieces". In 1877 she had remarried—to a French military officer named Charles Zieger. She died at Ville-d'Avray, near Paris, in her "Villa La Cenerentola", and was buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery. Always engaged in charity (often in memory of Maestro Rossini), she left nearly all her estate to the poor of Paris. In her will she wrote that by singing she had earned all her fortune, and on singing she would pass away, with the sweet thought that she had employed it to encourage and to console. Alboni's voice, an exceptionally fine contralto with a seamless compass of two and one-half octaves, extending as high as the soprano range was said to possess at once power, sweetness, fullness, and extraordinary flexibility. She had no peers in passages requiring a sensitive delivery and semi-religious calmness, owing to the moving quality of her velvety tone. She possessed vivacity, grace, and charm as an actress of the comédienne type; but she was not a natural tragédienne, and her attempt at the strongly dramatic part of Norma was sometimes reported to have turned out a failure. Nevertheless, she scored a real triumph in 1850, when she made her operatic debut at the Paris Opéra performing the tragic role of "Fidès" in Meyerbeer's Le prophète, which had been created the year before by no less than Pauline Viardot. Furthermore, she was able to cope with such dramatic roles as "Azucena" and "Ulrica" in Verdi's Il trovatore and Un ballo in maschera, and even with the baritone role of "Don Carlo" in Ernani (London, 1847)

Could I please have some older androgynous names? By older I mean just in vibes, it doesn't actually need to be old in origin. Like if it's androgynous and gives off the vibe of a 1700s american colonist or a pirate skilled with a rapier then it is perfect thank you have an amazing day.

idk if these are good, but i tried to find some! hope these help :)
