The day started off at whenever Alison wanted to get up. Longshot handled taking care of the babies until his wife wanted to get out of the comfy bed. When she got up, both of the wee walkers were bathed, dressed, and happy to see their mommy. It was an experience trying to feed all three breakfast in bed. Though slightly easier since Longshot

Alison snuggled up to her husband and sighed happily. Could the day get any better? She had breakfast in bed with her three favorite people and then a day with a house full of family and happy babies.

"Thank you, sweetheart. It's been a perfect day. I couldn't be happier."

[sonofarize]

"Day's not over," he promised with a wink. He kissed her temple and reached for the bottle of plum wine. "Did you want any more?"

[light_in_sound]

"Mmmm.. maybe one more." She was already feeling pleasantly warm and snuggly. One more would make her giggly. Anything more than that would put her to sleep.

"You have more big plans, cutie?"

[sonofarize]

Longshot topped off his wife's glass and finished off the rest of the bottle into his own glass. He set the bottle aside only to have Rodney snatch it away and whisk it off to the kitchen. He chuckled at the teen's efficiency before turning back to Alison.

"Not big so much as... private. Thus, why grandma is running the baby-watching brigade." He waggled his eyebrows at his wife before taking a drink.

"Our little ones keep the watchers on their toes." Alison giggled happily and sipped her wine. Nothing was more fun than watching a pair of less-than-one year olds outrun a bunch of teenagers.

"Gonna tell me more, or is it a surprise?"

[sonofarize]

"As they should. They're my kids after all," he observed with a sly grin. The arm around her shifted so his fingers could walk down her arm.

"Surprise, but one you'd probably want behind closed doors." He kissed her shoulder before taking another sip of wine. Longshot had been planning to do something like this, but he just hadn't had the opportunity to find the right occasion for it. Her birthday seemed the best reason.

"I like the sound of that." She purred and snuggled up close. Whenever Longshot went to all this trouble, something good always came of it.

"I can't wait to spend a quiet night alone with my cute husband." She nonchalantly reached a hand down behind him to pinch his butt. Hee!

[sonofarize]

"I hoped you would. Though I don't know about quiet..." He winked. He was just about to take another drink of his wine when he got pinched. He squeaked and jumped, splashing a little wine on his front.

Longshot squinted at her in mock-severity. "You are lucky it's your birthday. I would give out spankings for that."

[light_in_sound]

Alison blinked innocent eyes at her husband. And pinched again. Hee! It was all his fault for having such a pinchable butt.

"You could give me spankings anyway," she purred, teasing.

[sonofarize]

He did not believe that innocence one bit! He knew exactly how pinchy and grabby those hands were with his posterior. He also never saw what the draw was to his butt. Longshot sat on it a bit, but if it made Ali happy, he wasn't going to say no.

"Well, if you want some, you gotta finish your wine and head up to the bedroom." He grinned.

[light_in_sound]

It did make her happy! Touching her husband always did, but there were certain touches that always got more of a giggle than others. Instead of pinching, this time, she put her full hand on his backside and gave it a squeeze.

Her other hand lifted her wine glass to her lips. She drained the last of it in one go and grinned as she set the glass down carefully. "Race you." Then she bolted.

[sonofarize]

Longshot more grunted at the butt squeeze. He was all ready for another pinch, and his wife done changed things up on him! It was on the tip of his tongue to complain about how unfair that was when he watched her drain her glass.

Then she was gone. Yipe! He was falling behind. He quickly drank the last of his own wine, stood up too soon, hit his legs against the table to rattle the remaining dishes, ignored the commotion, and chased after his wife. "Hey!"

[light_in_sound]

Alison laughed all the way up the stairs. She knew he'd catch her... he always did. But, she was going to make him work for it. She didn't expect to get farther than the third floor landing before capture.

[sonofarize]

Alison had a good lead on her husband. Mostly because on the second floor, he had to skid around Asuka rather than run right through her. Though he pushed his legs harder. Ali's laughter was hard to miss and getting closer.

She got to the stairs up to the fourth floor when he tried one of his patented Longshot pounces!

[light_in_sound]

She got pounced! Alison oof'd as she fell onto the fourth floor stairs with a husband rocket landing on her back. That didn't stop her from breaking into fresh peals of laughter.

"Drat! Foiled again!"

[sonofarize]

Longshot made sure to cushion his wife's landing so the crash landing would not hurt her. He grinned and kissed her shoulder when she laughed.

"Aluminum or tin?" he asked as he pulled himself away. Though not for long. He scooped her up in his arms.
