about time.

Zelda showered and shaved before slipping on her new dress and spritzing perfume on her wrists. Peter had whistled at her and told her she looked amazing before taking the baby out to the park and zoo (with much protesting from Zelda

Chase falls into the homes, lazily kicking the door shut behind him. Dropping his bag with a thud and toeing off his shoes, he manages to find the couch before sinking down.

"Zelda, honey?"

[blondewombat]

Chase can't help but chuckle at that.

"I should hope I can," he teases. "Of course. Watching you-- making you-- have I ever let you down?"

[wisdomsage]

"No," she murmured, sipping at her wine. "I think that you care for me well."

[blondewombat]

Chase slides into his chair, hand reaching out to grasp Zelda's.

"I do?" he asks, taking his own glass. "I mean-- god, I love you so-- I just want to do the best for you, you know?"

[wisdomsage]

"And you do, for the most part," Zelda assured him. The wine flushed her a little and she pushed away her glass, moving on to eating.

[blondewombat]

"You're amazing," he says, breathlessly. "Absolutely--"

Chase abandons his plate, capturing Zelda in an impromptu, but nonetheless passionate, kiss.

[wisdomsage]

Zelda whimpered, surprised by the kiss, and watched Chase after she broke it off.

"Robert," she murmured, stroking his cheek and jaw. "I love you so very much, in this moment."

[blondewombat]

"Just this moment?" Chase teases, voice soft. "I love you too."

He covers her hand with his, saying, "I changed my mind. Forget dinner."

[wisdomsage]

"Are you certain?" Zelda asked, starting to tremble a little in excitement. "I mean, we have no need to rush. We can finish if you wish to continue eating."

[blondewombat]

"Zelda, I-- eight months is a--" Chase swallows, nodding his head. "Believe me. I'm certain."

He stands, holding a hand out to her.

[wisdomsage]

Zelda took his hand, squeezing it lightly. "I have dreamed of this moment, I promise you. Every night for eight months, I have thought to this very moment with you."

[blondewombat]

Wrapping his arms around her tightly, Chase leans in to lightly nibble at her neck. "I know the feeling. Come on, let's take advantage of the fact that we have the house to ourselves."

He leads her toward the stairs, unable to keep his hands off her.

[wisdomsage]

"Mmm, Robert," Zelda murmured, reaching a hand back behind herself to unzip her dress as they walked up the stairs. Unsuccessful, she pouted a little.

"Robert, will you help?"

[blondewombat]

Chase beams, shooting her a look that was, well, almost predatory. "Of course."

Pulling the zipper down slowly, Chase uses this opportunity to shamelessly touch every bit of exposed skin.

[wisdomsage]

Zelda closed her eyes, knees going just a little weak. "Robert," she whimpered, one arm going across her chest to hold up the dress as she opened their bedroom door.

[blondewombat]

Chase steps into the room, kicking the door shut behind them. Grabbing Zelda's shoulders, he presses flush against her for a deep kiss. He backs her into the bed, gently lowering down.
