When he opens the door, Madison’s already on her second glass of wine and slightly lightheaded from her hot bath. She beams at him between sips, and he raises an eyebrow at her all amused.

“Having fun there?”

“You know it.”

Having spent most of the day helping the new hire go over the (what she thinks is ridiculously nasty for no reason than just is) permit processes for Pennsylvania housing, followed by an early call home after Natasha messaged about Franny being all feverish and fussy, by 8.00pm Madison was all but spent and wanted nothing more than to ease her sore body in a nice, hot bath.

She knows the twins can wake up at any moment. A cry from one will always sort out the other, but she figures she can take a little risk after the tiring yet successful few days she’s had. Big Three Homes is expanding faster than they could’ve ever imagined, and even if she has to don on a few hats to make sure everything’s running as smoothly as possible, she has no complaints whatsoever.

Madison watches Kevin open the medicine cabinet and rummage through it, but she knows that her husband doesn’t need anything beyond her attention because when left alone long enough, he can get a little needy like that.

“I know this is your me time, but any chance tonight can be an our time instead?” Kevin asks, proving her point.

“Well, I’m not going anywhere, Pearson, so unless you want to join me in here, this is going to stay a me time,” she replies, downing the last of her wine and suppressing the urge to laugh at how quickly Kevin begins to undress before sloshing in ungracefully to join her.

“Kev!”

He ignores her though, settling his head against her chest and moving his long limbs around so he can rest comfortably on top of her. Madison shivers, partly from the contact, but also from his movements, causing much of the hot water to spill over the edge.

“I’m cold,” she says, trying to reach the hot water tap with her feet but couldn’t, given the large, heavy body that she’s trapped under.

“I know, I can feel your nipp–ow!”

Kevin shifts so he can balance himself on his arms as he floats above her. “You pinched me!”

Madison laughs, pushing him back up so she can reach over to grab the towels, but Kevin’s too quick. He grabs her and she shrieks, turning her over so he can hold her close against him.

“You ruined my bath,” she accuses.

“Sorry,” he says.

“No, you’re not.”

“No, I’m not,” he says, with a laugh.

Still, she pulls his arms tighter against her and snuggles up against his warmth.

“London’s going to be cold,” he says after a while. “Do you think mom will be okay with the long travel?”

Madison knows just how much both Kevin and Miguel’s been fretting over the whole travelling despite Kevin making all the arrangements to make sure everyone and especially Rebecca flies as comfortably as possible.

“She’ll be okay,” Madison says for both of them. “Rebecca wouldn’t miss Kate’s wedding for anything.”

“No, no, she definitely wouldn’t.”

They linger in the bath and in each other’s warmth till the water’s cooled down enough and Kevin says, “London’s gonna be nice.”

“It will be,” Madison says, freeing her arms so she can grab their towels. Kevin throws his own over his shoulder and wraps Madison in hers.

“Nice enough to try again,” he says with a grin.

Madison frowns. “Nice enough to try for what?”

But Kevin’s already halfway out the bathroom door.

“Nice enough to try for what, Kevin Pearson!”
