In The Morning Light

Her hair shined in the light bleeding through their curtains. It was dark and long. She lay on his bare chest, peaceful and sleeping. Nothing more beautiful. His arms held her close.

What a woman. Toby thought to himself. She's been through more than I know. I promise our babies will never know that pain.

He hated the childhood she was stuck with. He promised her so many times in his own head that he would give their children love and stability. Never let them know the abandonment and abuse that Happy endured.

He promised himself that he would never be like his father. Toby never told Happy how if he lost at the tracks and card tables that his dad would be so anger that he would beat him and sometimes his mother. How he had to listen to it and experience his father's rath.

"I'm never gonna be like him." Toby said. He kissed her head. He didn't want her to awake to find him crying. He didn't ever want her to know.

Our babies are gonna be so smart and beautiful. They are gonna be spoiled by our friends. He was thinking and it still couldn't satisfy his genius brain.

He kissed her head and moved his hands to her bare lower back. He thought about the night before.

After a case, he was so tired. He knew that his wife had been planning on sex before they went to bed. He explained he was tired and she politely responded saying that it was fine and might be good for him to get his sperm count up. They really wanted a baby.

He told her that maybe he could do something to her because he knew she had been hot and bothered. He had only gone down on her a number of times. He offered it for the first time after their engagement. She was surprised and told him that she had never received oral. It only made him more excited.

She began to wake in his arms. Happy let a light groan pass between her lips. Her leg was thrown across his hips, keeping him close. Her hand on his shoulder and her chest moving up and down with slow even breaths. He watched the morning beast that is his loving wife begin to wake up.

Happy always looked like a dragon cat creature that is awaking after a thousand year slumber when she woke up in the morning.

Her legs straightened and her arms were straight above her head. She realized that it was another morning of waking up naked and her body being sprawled across her husband. These mornings were becoming too normal.

"Morning gorgeous." Toby said with a smile.

"Roar" Happy said she moved her hair and cuddled closer to him. "How long have you been up?"`

"About 20 minutes. I like watching you sleep."

"Like I have said plenty of times before, its creepy."

"Oh like you haven't done that to me"

"I wasn't watching. I was admiring."

"And I was admiring you." Toby says pointedly.

"Whatever." She leans over and kisses him. She gets up and disappears into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. Toby hopped up from the bed and ran to the bathroom door. He knocked on the door.

"Honey?"

"What, Toby?"

"Can I please join you?"

"Why?"

"Because I love my wife."

"And?"

"Because I want to and it's more efficient to shower together."

Happy let out a soft and light giggle. "And?"

"If you let me shower with you than I will go down on you." Toby promised.

Happy quickly opened the door. "By all means come in and join me DR. Curtis." Happy said while moving out of the way, allowing him to step in.
