Hide and Seek [locked to Lizzie/Carolina]

Apple juice. That was the reason for Nick's frantic search around the house. He really only had himself to blame. If he had checked to make sure the lid on Sara's sippy cup had been secure, she wouldn't have been able to dump the juice on to his lap. Nick could never really get angry with Sara. She would look up at him with her big brown eyes, ( Read more... )

the ring, lizzie, carolina

I can't play right now, sweetie, I just got home from a meeting.

*Carolina stood there in her navy linen suit, with the crisp white blouse. Her hair was up in a chignon, and she had her briefcase in her hand.*

Honey...are you looking for something?

_nickstokes_ July 29 2006, 03:28:24 UTC

I uhh...

*Be smoothe. Nick got up off the ground and shook his head.*

Nope. I found it. Um...

*Rubbing the back of his neck, Nick walked over to her and leaned in to kiss her.*

How was work?

carolina_stokes July 29 2006, 14:31:44 UTC

Mmmm, it was busy. Three meetings, and our Housekeeping Manager quit, to move to Phoenix.

*She kissed him back, and gave him a hug. Carolina set her briefcase down long enough to pick up Sara and hug her tight.*

Hi, Princess Sara. What have you been up to? Huh? Have you been a good girl today?

sara_alexis July 29 2006, 14:39:09 UTC

Mama. Yaya.

*Sara giggled and threw her arms around Carolina's neck.*

Big gir. Pee boo.

*Nick nodded and looked around the room. If Carolina found it before he did, he would have a lot of explaining to do.*

She was very good, and she's going to help Daddy out later. Right Babygirl?

*Sara giggled again and smiled.* Dada oop.

carolina_stokes July 29 2006, 14:47:42 UTC

That's my big girl. I know...

*Carolina looked at Nick.*

I need to shower and change into something cooler and more comfy. How about I take Sara into the shower with me, and that will take care of her getting cleaned up for dinner?

*Carolina sometimes took the babies into the shower, especially if they were sick, teething or just plain restless. They were too little to care about nudity, and the closeness and water seemed to soothe them.*

Then we can put some shorts on and play, huh, Sara Bear?

sara_alexis July 29 2006, 14:54:53 UTC

Pay!

*Sara squealed and clung to Carolina.*

Um...oh, okay. I'm just gonna tidy up.

*He kissed Carolina on the cheek, then Sara. Nick was still pretty distracted, and it didn't occur to him that the ring might still be on Sara's person until the both of them had started leaving the room.*

Wait! Um. Here...let me get Sara in her little bathrobe, so you can get the shower warmed up.

carolina_stokes July 31 2006, 01:09:08 UTC

Okay...

*Carolina handed Sara to Nick, and kissed her cheek.*

I can get out of my suit and everything, too. Plus I can take of my jewelry without little fingers grabbing for the shiny things, huh, missy?

*She tickled Sara's toes.*

_nickstokes_ July 31 2006, 01:51:29 UTC

Mine. *Sara smiled and turned her head away from Carolina to look back into her room. Nick's face paled as he thought he heard Sara say "ring". He was probably just imagining it, or at least he hoped so.*

Okay, let's get you in your comfy bathrobe, Babygirl.

*Nick laughed nervously and hoped Carolina didn't suspect anything was wrong.*

carolina_stokes July 31 2006, 02:01:59 UTC

*Carolina didn't hear it, as she turned and went across the hall to the bedroom. With a sigh of relief, she kicked off her shoes and peeled off her suit, panty hose, bra and underwear, and slipped on a light robe. At the dressing table in her bath, she took off her jewelry and put them inside the hidden jewelry drawer. Then, she loosely pinned her hair up and came to the door.*

Honey, is everything okay in there?

_nickstokes_ July 31 2006, 07:17:02 UTC

Um...yeah.

*Nick quickly undressed Sara and put her in the little pink bunny robe. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure no one watching before searching through Sara's clothes. He shook her little shirt and checked the pocket in her overalls to make sure she didn't hide the ring there. Nothing. Well, linty animal cracker, but that wasn't what he was looking for.*

Mama. *Sara looked up at him and tilted her head.*

carolina_stokes July 31 2006, 11:53:15 UTC

*Carolina appeared in the door to Sara's room, and grinned at the sight of the baby in her bunny robe.*

Hey, little bunny hopper, you ready for a shower?

sara_alexis July 31 2006, 12:48:46 UTC

*Nick picked Sara up and turned around to face Carolina, trying to look calm.*

Mama. *Sara smiled at Carolina and put her arms up.*

Here you go. *He passed Sara off to Carolina and tried smiling.*

carolina_stokes August 1 2006, 12:37:04 UTC

Honey, is something wrong?

*Carolina held Sara against her, and looked at Nick.*

Are you getting sick?

_nickstokes_ August 1 2006, 13:19:51 UTC

No, nothing's wrong. It's just...

*Nick shook his head.*

I think I'm just tired. I was chasing this little girl around all day. I think she wore me out.

*He smiled a little, to reassure her, and leaned in next to Sara's head to kiss Carolina.*

I'll be okay, I promise.

carolina_stokes August 2 2006, 12:36:24 UTC

Okay. Well, we'll be in the shower.

*Carolina kissed him back and carried Sara into the master bath. Taking off their robes, she stepped into the shower.*

There we go, huh? That feels good. Do you want your bubble gum smelling shampoo? Huh?

sara_alexis August 2 2006, 13:57:51 UTC

Okee, Mama. *Sara held on tight and tried to look at the water without getting it in her eyes. She giggled and reached out to touch the water that was spraying down on them.*

*Meanwhile, Nick had given up on Sara's room and had begun to retrace his steps from the kitchen up to the master bedroom.*
