Cole: ::giggles::
Bela: What are you up to?
Cole: Nothing!
Bela: Mmm-hmm.
Cole: Jus' waitin' on you to come home.
Bela: I'll be there soon.
Cole: In five minutes?
Bela: Try ten.
Cole: ::big eyes, gasp:: Ten minutes?! Yay!
Bela: I'll see you soon.
Cole: I'm gonna wait at the door.
Bela: At the door, love?
Cole: Uh huh. For when you come home.
Bela: Well, I will see you when I get there.
Cole: Kay! ::runs off::
Bela: *hangs up, opens the door slowly when she gets home*
Cole: ::has been playing with his legos by the door, looks up with a grin:: Mommy!
Bela: *grin* There you are.
Cole: ::jumps up and runs to her, arms up::
Bela: *puts her stuff down before reaching down to scoop it up*
Cole: ::curls up against her shoulder:: Never go away ever again.
Bela: *sighs slightly and rubs his back* I have to love. It's my job.
Cole: ::gives her her own pout:: But I miss you when you go away.
Bela: I miss you too, darling.
Cole: ::plays with her hair:: Can I go with you?
Bela: No, sweetie. *sits down on the couch with a sigh* That's no place for you.
Cole: You gots to work. ::nods seriously::
Bela: Exactly.
Cole: But know what?
Bela: What?
Cole: You're prettier than Daddy.
Bela: *laughs* I am, aren't I?
Cole: Uh huh. And you smell better.
Bela: Oh really?
Cole: Uh huh.
Bela: Well, I will see what I can do to stick around longer.
Cole: Good.
Bela: You know I don't like to leave unless I have to, don't you?
Cole: I know, Mommy.
Bela: Good.
Cole: My friend Dean came to visit.
Bela: Oh, did he?
Cole: Unh-uh. He poofed the monsters away.
Bela: Good.
Cole: An' Daddy yelled at him.
Bela: *blink* He did?
Cole: Uh huh.
Bela: What about?
Cole: That he can do it on his own.
Bela: Ahhhh.
Cole: Mommy, do you like Dean?
Bela: On occasion.
Cole: But know what?
Bela: What?
Cole: I still like Daddy better.
Bela: I'm sure he'd be very happy to hear that.
Cole: ::grin::
Bela: *grins back* But it's time to get you to bed, darling.
Cole: ::big sad eyes:: Five more minutes?
Bela: I'm sorry, love. Time for bed.
Cole: Can I sleep with you?
Bela: You'd have to ask your father.
Cole: ::tips his head back and yells:: Daddy!!
Bela: *cringes*
Mike: ::walks in with his nightly yogurt:: You bellowed?
Cole: Can I sleep with Mommy tonight?
Mike: ::glances at Bela::
Bela: *shrugs*
Mike: ::sighs:: Am I allowed to sleep there too?
Cole: Ummmm. Okay. But no kissyface.
Bela: *small smile* I'll do my best. But I haven't seen him in a while.
Mike: ::smirks and moves over:: Guess I'll have to kiss her now then. ::leans over Cole to kiss his wife::
Bela: *grins as he kisses him back*
Cole: Ewwww. ::tries to push them apart::
Bela: *sighs softly into the kiss, but not pulling away right away*
Mike: ::kisses her a moment longer, then leans to her ear to whisper:: Don't worry. Soon as he falls asleep I'm moving him to his bed, then you're all mine. ::smirk::
Bela: *grins a bit as she leans back*
Cole: ::wraps his arms around her neck:: Stop it, Daddy.
Bela: He is allowed to kiss me, darling. He married me, after all.
Mike: It's actually why she married me.
Bela: It's true.
Mike: Among my other skills? ::brow raise::
Bela: *smirk* Those too.
Mike: ::grin:: Let's get the kid to bed, what do you say? ::has *really* missed his wife::
Bela: I agree.
Cole: Okay. ::slides off Bela's lap and takes Michael's hand and holds his other out to Bela::
Bela: *takes his hand*
Mike: ::leads the way upstairs and to their bedroom, Cole runs and jumps on the bed::
Bela: *goes into the closet to change*
Mike: ::lays down on the bed::
Bela: *comes out a few minutes later, and curls up in bed next to them*
Cole: ::smiles and closes his eyes, being cuddly::
Bela: *snuggles in*
Mike: ::says timeskip and gets up to carry sleeping Cole into his own bedroom::
Bela: *stays where she is*
Mike: ::comes back in and closes the door, gives her a big smile::
Bela: *grins* I missed you.
Mike: ::moves back to the bed, his hand sliding to her hip:: I missed you, too.
Bela: *slides her arm around his neck to kiss him*
Mike: ::leans in and kisses her back::
Bela: *leans back against the bed, pulling him closer*
Mike: ::goes willingly, his hand sliding up her leg:: Remember when we used to be able to stay in bed for days at a time?
Bela: Mmmm -- and then you got me pregnant.
Mike: ::kisses her neck:: Guess it was an all around win.
Bela: *smirk* Guess so.
Mike: ::slides a hand further up her thigh:: Have I thanked you for that lately?
Bela: Not lately, no.
Mike: ::pulls at her clothes and kisses her ear:: Thank you.
Bela: *smiles slightly*
Mike: ::moves his hand up her bare stomach with a grin:: Thank you. And thank you.
Bela: *closes her eyes and leaned back*
Mike: ::moves over her and kisses her::
Bela: *kisses him back*
Mike: ::starts to push her legs apart:: Interested in another?
Bela: God no.
Mike: No?
Bela: I think three is enough, don't you?
Mike: I think you're gorgeous when you're pregnant.
Bela: Mmmm, but all you have to do is look at me.
Mike: I'd be happy with a dozen kids.
Bela: You don't have to give birth to them.
Mike: ::leans up to look down at her:: I could try if you want. ::smirk::
Bela: You lack a few critical organs for that one.
Mike: Those are all the fun parts too. ::leans down to kiss her chest::
Bela: *eyes close* Can't you be happy with the children you have?
Mike: ::continues down:: Mmm. I'm very happy.
Bela: Good. Stay that way.
Mike: Plan on it. ::leans up to shed his own clothes::
Bela: *reaches up to help him*
Mike: ::leans back down and pulls her leg against his hip::
Bela: *arches up against him*
Mike: ::later falls beside her, keeping her close::
Bela: *sighs and curls up closer*
Mike: ::brushes her cheek and watches her a moment::
Bela: I love you.
Mike: I love you, too.
Bela: And I missed you.
Mike: We missed you. ::kisses her forehead:: Not quite home without you.
Bela: I'm glad you feel that way.
Mike: Should I feel any other way?
Bela: No.
Mike: Okay. ::pulls her in closer and closes his eyes::
Bela: *curls up closer as well*
Mike: ::rubs her back gently::
Bela: *starts to drift off*
Mike: ::relaxes close::
Bela: *falls asleep*
Mike: ::does too::
