“So, how’s everything on the home front?” Calleigh asked. She threw her lab coat
to her locker and sat down on the bench.
“Good. Ally’s doing good. Every time I come back from work she’s gown a little
bit. It’s weird.”
“Don’t exaggerate. Babies are supposed to put on weight. How’s our little daddy?”
“Ryan’s… well, he’s adapting. I mean he’s a natural talent. But the whole baby
thing was a surprise to him too. He wasn’t even supposed to be involved, and he
definitely wasn’t supposed to be the only parent.”
“It’s been just couple weeks. Give it time.”
“Yeah. And he has my mom to help him. I swear, those two spend so much time
together, I should be jealous.”
“You mean because you’re not the baby of the family anymore?” Calleigh teased.
“Not funny, Cal.”
“Not funny, but maybe true.
-------------------------------------------------
“Ryan? Are you moving or something?” Eric asked and walked into the living room.
“No, why would you think that?” Ryan was sitting in the middle of the room,
surrounded by massive amount of moving boxes.
“There’s boxes everywhere. When I came in I almost tripped on one.”
“They’re Ally’s. And Jenny’s. They just arrived. Most of Jenny’s stuff was sold,
like furniture and things like that. I didn’t wanna drag any of them here from
Boston.”
“So, what kind of stuff’s in them?”
“Mostly baby stuff. Jenny was well prepared. She had everything from toys to
clothes ready. She just didn’t get to see them in action.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. It’s just so sad. I don’t mean just dying young like that. She didn’t get to
see Ally grow up. Parents shouldn’t die before their kids, it’s not right.”
“I know.” Eric stroked Ryan’s back and pulled one box closer. “Lets see what
we have here… Ryan?”
“What?”
“Pieces of wood?”
“That’s a crib. I haven’t put it together yet.”
“Where are you gonna put it.”
“To the guest room. When was the last time we had a guest there?”
“I don’t think we’ve had any during the time I’ve been there.”
“Exactly. Think you could put it together?”
“Sure.”
“Good, because I already tried.” Ryan handed Eric the instuction book. “Take
a look.”
“Let’s see… `Take joint C and connect it to point SF, bent the arch to the
desired length…`, this sounds like Calleigh`s yoga class.”
“Why do you think I gave up on it?” Ryan grinned.
“Yoga?”
“Putting the crib together. And I don’t need yoga, I’m bendy enough.”
“That’s true.” Eric tried to wipe the lecherous smile from his face.
“I’ll prove it to you when I’ve put Ally to sleep.”
“Where is she?”
“Your mom took her for a walk, they should be back pretty soon.”
-------------------------------------------------
“Okay, she’s out.” Ryan crawled into the bed next to Eric.
“About time. It took an hour!”
“I know, she was little bit fussy.” Ryan set up the baby monitor on the night
stand and turned to Eric. “Can we talk?”
“You wanna talk? And here I was, talking the last thing on my mind, and you
just want to talk….”
“That’s exactly what I wanted to talk about.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean we haven’t really had sex as often as we used to.”
“Hey, there’s a baby in the picture, I’m not complaining.”
“I know, but it was always a pretty big part of our lives. In a non-obsessive
way. And I don’t want you to think we’re not doing it as often because I try
to avoid it.”
“I never thought that.”
“Good, because we’re both wide awake, and right now I just wanna pin you
to the bed and have my way with you.” Ryan kissed Eric and pressed him
down against the mattress. After a while he pulled away.
“Eric, what’s going on?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I know when you’re really into it and right now your mind is somewhere else.”
“I just can’t concentrate. I keep thinking `there’s a baby in the next room`.”
“Okay… Listen to me. Ally is asleep. If she wakes up, she’ll scream. That’s how
it goes. And baby monitor works only one way. We can hear Ally, but she can’t
hear us.” Ryan paused. “Do you feel better now?”
“Yeah…” Eric grinned.
“Good. Get naked.”
