Holly's eyes flickered open confused as to why she was awakened from such wonderful sleep when she heard Spencers insistent cries.
"Go back to sleep Luv i'll get him".
She rolled over watching her husband of one year pad across the bedroom naked looking for his robe, he really was a beautiful man she thought, not to mention a great husband and father or step-father, no he is Spencers father since he is officially Spencer Scorpio and Robert is the only father he has known in his five months of life. As much as she loved Luke , Holly wouldn't change the life she has now for anything, Robert was so kind and caring not to mention funny and smart and sexy how could she not have fallen in love with him.
It didn't happen overnight,not the physical part at least,but her loyalty and admiration for Robert was instantaneous. Holly rose from the bed and walked into the nursery which was her room in the beginning of their marriage .She heard Roberts voice crooning to Spencer
"hush little Spencer don't you cry and daddy is gonna buy you a a whatever rhymes with cry , bloody nursery rhymes make no sense eh little one?",
"that's a boy drinking all of your bottle for your old man".
Holly watched the scene with such love in her heart, Robert may not be Spencers biological father but he was his daddy and Robert was every bit the proud papa.
"Darling do you want me to finish that while you dress for work?"
Robert turned and smiled that beautiful smile that always melted her heart.
"No luv, this is daddy and Spencer time"
."OK, well i will fix us some breakfast".
Holly walked downstairs picking up their clothes that were scattered on the stairs and throughout the living room. Last night was quite an evening, not the first time she and Robert had made love but definately the most intense. With only about an hours sleep it is a miracle that either of them are even able to function this morning.
A while later Robert came downstairs already dressed for work as Holly was placing breakfast on the table
"did he nod back off?",
"oh yea eight ounces of formula and a clean bottom is all a Scorpio needs in the morning luv"
."I will keep that in mind Mr. Scorpio"
."Thinking about powdering my bottom darling?"
Robert wrapped his wife in his arms and kissed her deeply
"Mmm keep that up dear and you will be late for work"
Robert smiled and sat down to his breakfast thinking how truly lucky he was to have this woman who had became his friend, confidante, lover and life.
"So hows about you and Spencer join me for lunch today?"
"Oh Robert we would love to but Spencer has a checkup this morning and i'm afraid he may be a bit grumpy after he gets his booster shots".
"Oh no not that , didnt he just get shots?"
"Robert, babies have to have a series of shots during the first year"
"well i dont like it one bit, using my boy for a bloody pin cushion they are"
Holly laughed at his overprotective nature wondering how this wonderful man who couldnt bear seeing Spencer in pain had ever made it as a hardened spy.
Later that morning as Holly finished dressing she heard the doorbell ring, who could that be she wondered as she hurried to get the door before Spencer woke from the noise.
"Bobbie, Ruby so nice to see you both what brings you here so early?"
Bobbie spoke first "Holly we need to talk to you it's important".
Bobbie and Ruby walked into the living room looking very serious,
"holly, sit down dear" said Ruby.
Holly immediately becamed concerned
"oh my God what has happened , has something happened to Robert?"
Bobbie was somewhat surprised by her friends concern for Robert
"No Holly, i havn't seen Robert today"
Holly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled
"I'm sorry its just that ever since the hostage crisis and Robert being shot i am terrified that someone will come tell me he has been hurt again"
Bobbie and Ruby looked at each other intently as the front door closed and a voice from the past spoke
"My my English you certainly are concerned for a man who is supposed to be your husband in name only"
Holly turned and felt herself start to swoon as she came face to face with Luke Spencer.
