If you follow me on twitter (at R31M4y3r) you know I'm all about the coffee. Probably shouldn't. So while I was pondering some stuff about Crooked Rain, some of the things for this one showed up.

Again; this story isn't my priority. I know I said that about 'Little Talks' and I still finished it in less than a month but I'm not going to promise to update this very often.

This story starts a while before 'Slanted and Enchanted' begins.

It's named after a wonderful song with the most amazing lyrics; "Just Breathe" by Pearl Jam. Google it to read the full lyrics. If you've read 'Little Talks' you'll get it.

Chapter 1: King and Lionheart

Stay with me...
Let's just breathe.

Practiced are my sins,
never gonna let me win,
Under everything, just another human being,
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
to make me bleed.

Stay with me...
You're all I see.

Just Breathe – Pearl Jam

-o0o-

Lisa was in the couch with the two year old Eli sleeping in her lap. Ruth, now five, was sleeping next to her and finally the soon nine-year old Noah on the floor. He was like his father in that way, he could fall asleep anywhere and never found it uncomfortable so she didn't even try anymore. It was Friday so the two older kids had been allowed to fall asleep in front of the TV with her. That wasn't the only reason, she loved having them around her like this.

She heard the bike outside and smiled. He hadn't said he was coming today and that's when she was most happy to have him home, when it was a surprise. The door opened and a few seconds later he walked into the living room. He threw his bags on the floor and looked at the scene in front of him with a smiled.

"Fascinating that you can't stand me at home for more than a month but you can't be without the kids for an evening."

"It's Friday. You know we do our thang on Fridays."

"Your thang?" He leaned over and gave her a kiss. "How's my Girlie?" He kissed her again.

"I'm good. Wanna help me with the kids?"

"Sure." He bent down and picked up Noah.

"Dad?" Noah mumbled and opened his eyes.

"Hey, son. I'll take you to bed. We'll talk tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

Noah rested his head on Quinn's shoulder and Lisa followed behind them to put Eli in his room before going back for Ruth. Quinn would probably talk to Noah for a while no matter what he just said to him so she cleaned up the living room while she was waiting for him.

When he came out to the kitchen he smacked her ass. "How do you get all the kids to bed when I'm not at home?"

"One at a time," Lisa said and hugged him. "Missed you."

Quinn smiled and lifted her up at the counter. "I noticed." He ran his hands over her breasts. "Anything you wanna tell me?"

"What?" She put her arms around his shoulders and hugged him hard.

"You had all the kids surrounding you in the living room when I came home, you've been calling me a lot being very sweet and these," he cupped her breasts, "are bigger and firmer than usual."

"Are you saying that I usually have saggy tits?" She bit his ear. He was dead on though.

"They're not big enough to get saggy." He leaned back and smiled at her.

"Asshole, calling my tits small and saggy," but she was smiling back at him. His eyes were glowing so she had a feeling he was very eager to have his suspicions confirmed.

"I love your tits, you know that and don't try to avoid the subject. You were going to tell me something."

"You already know."

He leaned forward again, grabbing her hips. "I already know. I'm starting to recognize the signs by now." He kissed her. "So what are we having this time?"

"An Ezra or an Esther."

"Sure? You changed your mind last time."

"I change my mind about a lot of things." She was licking his neck now, trying to get him to either fuck her on the counter or carry her into the bedroom. "But those are the names for now. Can we fuck now?"

He laughed and grabbed her harder, pressing himself against her. "Horny?"

"Very, so you better not have worn that dick out on sweetbutts."

Quinn laughed and lifted Lisa up to carry her into the bedroom. He was going to show his Old Lady how much he had missed the way he knew best. By fucking her senseless and sore.

A couple of hours later he watched the back of Lisa's head. She was looking away from him, resting on her folded arms and he was stroking her back.

"I hardly ever do that anymore."

"Do what?" She asked and turned around to look at him.

"Fuck sweetbutts."

She smiled. "You know I don't care. I really don't. It's not just something I say."

"I know you don't care but I wanted you to know."

Lisa moved closer to him and kissed his upper arm. "Thank you for letting me know." He took the opportunity to put his arm around her while she was grateful. That way she probably wouldn't nag about being warm. "Are you ok with another kid?"

"You know I am."

He loved it. He loved being able to come home to a big family and another one was making the family even bigger. It was two extremes, being a Nomad and this big family.

"Yeah, I know. Not worried my pussy will get all stretched out?"

"No. I have a big dick." He kissed her again. He'd been away for three weeks and had missed her. He knew he was all over her. Normally she'd tease him about it but when she was pregnant and hormonal she loved it. "And if it would happen it would have by know. You've pushed three of them through it already."

"Wanted to make sure you still liked it." She moved closer and it looked like she was about to fall asleep. He kissed her temple.

"Go to sleep. We'll talk in the morning."

He watched her and smiled when she pretty soon moved away from him.

He had just barely been in time for Ruth's birth and when Eli was born he was doing time. This time he was going to make damn sure he was at home and out of jail. It would be nice to see through an entire birth and it wasn't like he hadn't had any opportunities since this was the fourth kid. That he missed the first one wasn't his fault though. He hadn't even known she was pregnant.

He stroke her back and down over her still hot ass. For a woman who'd had three kids she was still in a very good shape. She claimed it was because she didn't eat dead things and he claimed that it was impossible to get fat when you took care of three kids. She was the perfect fucking mom simply since she loved to do things with the kids, anything they felt like and in all honesty they'd been lucky with the kids they had. The two boys were calm and even if Ruth was much like her mom she was still a nice kid. Just a very active nice kid.

-o0o-

He hadn't been asleep for long when he heard small feet running in the hallway and he looked up when he felt the bed dip. It was Ruth. As oppose to her mom she loved to be held when she was sleeping so he hugged her close.

"I like it when you're home, mom doesn't hold me as hard as you," she whispered and grabbed his hair just like she'd done since she was a little kid.

"Mom doesn't like it when it gets to warm. You know that," he said and hugged her even closer and kissed her cheek. "Missed you, sweetie."

The next one woke up a few hours later and Lisa came back to the bedroom with Eli in her arms and in the morning Noah came in for the morning cuddle. He was nine and not all that comfortable with snuggling anymore but he laid down with them and they talked.

Lisa looked over her family. She loved these mornings when Quinn was back and all the kids told him about what they'd done since he left.

"And Hannah said she'd pay money to see you do that!" Noah laughed. "I'd pay money to see you do that."

"I'm not gonna do that," Quinn muttered.

"You'd probably get stuck in the slide, that's what she said," Noah was still laughing and so was Ruth.

They were telling them about the water slides at the waterpark they'd been to the week before. Hannah was still teasing Quinn about his size every chance she got especially when he wasn't around.

"We'll never now 'cause I'm not gonna ride it." He pinched Noah's leg when he said it. He looked at Lisa. "We have some news for you kids."

"What?" Ruth said and climbed up on him. "Are you getting married?"

For some reason Ruth had been very bothered about them not being married lately and Lisa was guessing that someone at school had been teasing her about it.

"No." Lisa caught her in a hug. "You're getting another baby brother or sister."

Noah stared at them. "You're crazy." Then he laughed.

-o0o-

Quinn had been home for two weeks when he got a call from Happy.

"I'm thinking about transferring."

"To where?" Quinn liked Happy. Always had and since he helped him with Darrell he liked him even more. As far as he knew he liked it in Tacoma but apparently something was going on.

"To you."

Quinn was stunned for a few seconds, in a good way. "You'd be most welcome, you know that."

"Mom's in really bad shape so I want to spend more time with her."

Happy was a badass motherfucker but he was all about family. Whether it was the club family or his blood family so that wasn't a reason that surprised Quinn.

"I'm meeting Frankie, Marvin and Junior outside Vegas three days from now. Think you can come?"

"Yeah."

He gave Happy the address and then he hung up.

"What was that about?" Lisa walked into the bedroom and laid down next to him.

"Happy, he's thinking about going Nomad."

"Wouldn't he be the perfect Nomad?"

"He would." He pulled her closer. "Feeling better?"

"Yup. Think the stomach is empty now."

He kissed her cheek. He wouldn't have minded kissing her mouth since she usually rinsed and brushed he teeth like crazy after throwing up but she didn't like to kiss him for a while after.

"Get some more sleep. I'll give the clan some breakfast."

"Thank you."

"Want anything?"

"Tea and some toast."

He kissed her cheek again and got out to the kitchen and made breakfast. When the doorbell rang Noah ran and opened.

He heard Hannah and her two kids and a few seconds later Hannah was pouring herself coffee. "How is she?"

"Morning sickness."

"How long are you staying?"

Hannah was the only one besides Lisa who could ask him that without making it sound like an accusation.

"I'm heading out in three days for a short trip, just overnight."

"Then?"

He shrugged. "Not sure, nothing coming up that I know of."

"So until she gets fed up with you?"

"Yeah." He nodded towards the tray. "She wants tea and toast, she'll probably be happier with you giving it."

"Sure about that?"

"I heard her curse my class A spunk while she was throwing up."

Hannah laughed and prepared the tray for Lisa before carrying it into the bedroom. When he passed the room fifteen minutes later he heard them laughing. He looked inside. "I'm gonna go do some shopping, want anything?"

"Oranges."

He shook his head. "Already?" And she just nodded while Hannah laughed.

-o0o-

Three days later he was at a diner with Junior, Marvin and Frankie. They were just waiting for Happy and when he walked inside, Junior was the first one to greet him with a hug.

They sat down and ordered food. This wasn't church, they didn't have church among the Nomads, this was just a way to catch up.

"How's Fertile Myrtle?" Marvin asked with a smile and Happy chuckled.

They'd all crashed at their house now and then and quite often even when he wasn't at home. Usually when they wanted a nights sleep without having to party with the local chapter and Lisa always welcomed them. So they knew her well and being his Old Lady, they'd do anything for her.

"Pregnant," Quinn answered.

"Are you fucking shitting me?" Frankie asked.

"Nope."

"Jesus," Marvin laughed and shook his head. "How the fuck do you do it?"

"Class A spunk." He took a sip of the coffee.

"Even so, you're not even home all the time. What do you do? Fuck her every chance you get?"

"Pretty much."

"How many chanced do you get with three kids?" Junior asked.

"What do you think that guestroom is for when you're not sleeping in it?"

"Ohhh," Marvin nodded with a smile. "So you have like a fuck room?"

"Yeah. Take my word for it; if you have kids you need a fuck room."

They all looked at each other and smiled. "Don't see kids ever happening," Frankie laughed. "But I'll keep it in mind."

"I know that me fucking Lisa is very interesting..."

"Very." Marvin interrupted him with a nod.

"... but we have some shit to discuss."

Happy transferring was good news. Frankie was going stay in New York for a while and Junior was heading up to Tacoma to fill in for Happy. They were pretty much the same kind of guy and Tacoma had asked if he could come and hang out til they got settled. Marvin didn't have any immediat plans and was thinking about visiting one of the ladies he had along the roads.

"Any word on Bofu and The Count?" Marvin asked.

"Bofu is in Joliette and The Count on the road."

"Heading somewhere?"

"Not that I know of."

After the food they went to a strip club and had a couple of drinks. The plan had been to stay at a motel for the night but Quinn decided to go home instead so he said bye to the others, accidentally catching Happy getting a blowjob from a very eager stripped and then he got on the bike.

-o0o-

"Please?" Lisa was begging. "Just to stop the little ones from falling out of the bed."

"Mom! That's a lousy excuse, the bed is huge, it's impossible to fall out of it."

"Please, Noah! Just for one night."

"Ok."

Lisa kissed her oldest son and gave him a huge hug. "Thank you, sweetie. I know I'm being stupid about this."

"It's ok. It's just for the first night when dad is gone. And when you're knocked up."

"Knocked up! Have you been listening to your dad?"

Noah shrugged and walked away.

-o0o-

Quinn came home in the middle of the night. He walked into the kitchen and found the leftover meat loaf in the fridge. He took it out on the porch with a beer, ate it, drank the beer and took a smoke. Lisa did the best fucking meat loaf. He'd thought it was real meat until he caught her eating it. At first he was glad she finally had stopped with that vego shit and then he realized it wasn't real meat. Bitch really had him! He'd tied her up that night and she fucking loved it.

He went up the stairs and shook his head when he noticed that Lisa obviously had managed to persuade Noah to sleep in their bed. She defended it with it being necessary to make sure none of the smaller kids fell out of the bed. As if they fucking could, it was huge.

He took a quick shower, brushed his teeth and went up to Noah and carefully shook his shoulder.

"Noah, you can go to your bed if you want."

"Thanks, dad," he said and gave him a hug on his way out of the bedroom.

Once he was out the door Quinn went over to Lisa's side of the bed and carefully kissed her shoulder.

"Quinn? I though you were gonna stay over night?"

"They ended up a strip club."

"They?"

"I was there too. Made me miss you saggy tits."

"Asshole. Get into bed."

"And I missed your pussy."

She put her arms around his neck. "I seem to remember it being your pussy."

He squeezed her butt cheeks. "That's right. Glad you remember it. Wanna test the guest bed?"

"I think we've established that it's pretty sturdy."

He pulled up her t-shirt and sucked her nipple. "Wanna fuck then?"

She nodded and he lifted her up and carried her over to the guest room but he didn't put her into the bed, instead he pushed her up against the wall.

"Here?"

"In a few months you'll be too fat for this and you know I like it."

"Me too," she moaned when he knelt down, pulled down her panties and put one of her legs over his shoulder.

Lise leaned her head against the wall, she loved it when he gave her head like this. He continued until her legs where shaking and then he lifter her up and rammed inside her.

She grabbed his face with both her hands and shoved her tongue into his mouth, kissing him and sucking his lips. "Harder," she mumbled and she felt him smile and do as she asked.

When she came she bit down into his shoulder to not scream out loud and he thrusted a couple of times hard into her cramping pussy before he came as well.

"Just what I needed," he mumbled into her neck.

"Missed me that much?"

"Yeah." He pulled out and carefully put her down on the ground. "Accidentally caught Happy getting a blowjob from a total skank. Think I'm still shell shocked."

"Like you haven't had blowjobs from skanks," Lisa laughed. "Don't even try to deny it, I've fucking seen it."

"Yeah, but watching Hap..." He shook his head. "And it didn't faze him for a second when I walked in. Said bye and that he'd call me with his normal face."

"Jesus, Quinn! Since when are you such a prude?"

He hugged her. "I'm not prude. Think it was just today. It'll pass."

"Good. I don't want you to be a prude."

"Don't worry, babe." He knelt down and kissed her stomach. "How's the squid?"

"Think it's fine."

"How many oranges have you had today?"

"Three, maybe four," she lied. She didn't even want to think about how many oranges she'd eaten.

Quinn looked up at her with raised eyebrows. "Not nice to lie to your Old Man."

"Depends on the man."

"You're called Fertile Myrtle by the way."

Lisa laughed. She had to admit that it was kind of fitting. "I've been called worse. You've called me worse." She pulled him up from the floor. "Let's get to bed before they wake up.

But Quinn pushed her against the wall again and kissed her. "Do I get to cheat this time?"

"No. We're not gonna find out if it's a boy or a girl. Besides, we have both kind, so it doesn't matter."

"It never mattered," he mumbled. "I'm just curious."

She looked down on his side and stroke him over the tattoos he had for the kids. "You've got room for both quotes so there's no problem at all. Might even fit two more there."

Quinn laughed. "Keep in mind, five kids means you'll need a Van to get them anywhere."

I don't know how the Nomad stuff works and I admit to pretty much making it up as I go. If anyone knows more you are very welcome to inform me. I'd love it. And yes; I've googled it.

This story will be written in a similar way as the other one, with back flashes to what've happened between the two stories so you won't miss anything. This chapter is just to set it up.
