Making something out of nothing.

[light_in_sound]

After her fight with Longshot and her labor scare, Alison had begun spending a great deal more time in her music room than she had been. It was something she needed to be doing, anyway. And, it gave her some time to herself to think and sort things out. She cleared her head better when she was dumping all of her worries into music

Longshot chuckled and pushed himself up. Just so he could bend himself over his wife and kiss her properly. "Okay. No trips to big mountains in China for fondling training."

He kissed her again before settling back down. He should let go of her breast and start to get them both headed toward the bathtub. But he had a hard time trying to find the motivation. Naked wife was right here at the moment.

[light_in_sound]

Yay! Bendy husband! Also, kissing husband. That was the best kind.

"Thank you. I'd hate to have to chase you to China in this condition. Wait 'til after the babies are born and then we'll climb mountains."

She snuggled back up to him. He had promised her a bath, so she knew they'd get to it sooner or later. And it wasn't as if she was in any hurry to be out of his arms.

There was a reason Longshot was so limber. He didn't know what the reason was, but he decided a long time ago that using for his wife was a good reason on its own.

"You're welcome. I try to be good." Sometimes he slipped up. Like a few days ago. He still hadn't figured the right way to have handled it.

He kissed her shoulder. "I love you."

[light_in_sound]

"You are good. Very good. I cant think of a single thing I'd change about you." She smiled when he kissed her shoulder. He was so sweet. She pulled his arm tighter around her and snuggled down against him.

"I love you, too. More than anything."

[sonofarize]

"Well, good thing I don't plan on changing." Especially since she liked him as he was. He snuggled down against her and sighed happily. He had read some websites by fathers. So, he had an inkling everything was about to change. Shoot, lots of things had changed already. The only constant that he was sure wouldn't was that Alison would always love him.

"More than a bath? With slippery, scrubby action?"

[light_in_sound]

"I love you much, much more than any old bath. But, if you want to take one with me, then I won't say no." She giggled. Slippery, scrubby. Now, that sounded like fun.

"Can I slippery, scrub you?"

[sonofarize]

"You can slippery scrub every little part of me. Especially the excitable inches. I like you scrubbing those." His hand moved to her belly again. His forefinger rubbed around her bellybutton.

"As long as I get to scrub all our inches, too."

[light_in_sound]

"I like scrubbing your parts, so it all evens out." She smiled and stroked the hand rubbing her belly button. "And I intend to get them all."

"Wanna help me get on my feet and head for the bath? I'm thinking bubble bath. What do you think?" She squirmed back against him, wriggling her butt against fun parts.

Longshot grunted at the wiggling. He wasn't supposed to get excited right now. They needed to get into the bathtub first.

"Yeah," he grunted in reply. It took everything he had to pull himself away from his wife. He slid off the bed. He offered a hand to help Alison up. "Bubble bath sounds fine."

Alison could get some actual scrubbing in while he played with the bubbles.

[light_in_sound]

She took his hand and let him help her out of bed. It was a lot quicker and easier than all the flopping around she'd have to do to get out by herself. A hot bubble bath sounded heavenly right at that moment.

"Too bad we never picked up those crayons, huh?" She grinned and wrapped an arm around his waist as they headed for the bathroom.

"We still got time. The babies aren't big enough to use them yet." He kissed her temple just before they made their way into the bathroom. Longshot glanced around. Maybe he should start doing more. Alison was having trouble with mobility, but he didn't want to make her feel bad.

"Do you need me to help with anything?" Otherwise he would be waiting to cannonball into the bath. Which may or may not get him into trouble.

[light_in_sound]

"Mmmm... sure. You wanna run the water for me? I'll find the bubbles."

She smiled and leaned up on her toes to kiss him lightly. She didn't mind the help from him. And, even if she had, she needed to get used to it. In a couple of months there wouldn't be much choice.

[sonofarize]

"Okay!" He meandered over to the taps. He turned them this way and that, trying to find the perfect temperature. He knew Alison mentioned something about it not being too hot. That could hurt the babies.

So, he tried to find a happy medium. He hummed softly to himself as his eyes sort of glazed over.

[light_in_sound]

Alison returned with the bottle of shimmery bubble liquid. She smiled at Longshot's humming and leaned against his side, rubbing a hand across his shoulders. She got to see his naked body every single day and it still managed to amaze her from time to time just how attractive her husband was.

"Whatcha humming, sweetheart?"

[sonofarize]

Longshot jumped a little and shook his head, clearing the memory away. He blinked at Alison over his shoulder. "I... uhm."

He looked back down into the slowly filling tub. "Something I used to hum to calm down my..."

He trailed off. He knew Alison was okay with whatever history he had before her. Especially since he was hers now and forever. It just felt a little awkward to mention why he hummed before.

[light_in_sound]

"Your children?" She asked softly as she opened the bottle and leaned close to him to pour the bubbles in. It did seem strange, sometimes, to think of Longshot having children before he knew her. It shouldn't... he was a grown man long before he met her. But, in her mind and in her heart, he was "hers" and the father of her children.

She wasn't jealous if his other family, thank goodness. Occasionally, she found herself sad thinking about them. But, mostly it was because their loss had hurt him. Also, because the loss of children was always a sad thing to her mind.

As she stepped into and got comfy in the still-filling tub, she looked over at him with a gentle smile. "Want to tell me about them?"
