Sugar Plums
AN: I own nothing in this story. This is for Queen Alla so enjoy! Please R&R.
"Reno..." the voice whispered, right by his ear. A groan was the response he gave, body twisting around like a cat searching for the perfect stretch. A cool hand came to rest on his bare chest and soon he was being shaken roughly.
"Reno, wake up!"
That did the trick.
Bolting upright, Reno's eyes opened faster than Yuffie could eat. Looking over to his left, he saw his wife doing something she had been doing a lot lately: pouting. Her lips were pushed out and she was giving him her best puppy dog eyes. It helped that they were the same color as your average puppy.
"Laney...what...do you want?" Reno managed to say in a sleep coated tone. Elena grabbed his hand then and placed it on her round belly.
"We would like some sugar plums," Elena said, moving Reno's hand round her stomach for emphasis. Reno gave a tired smile as he felt her pregnant belly.
"Alright, sugar plums it is." He then managed to get out of bed, fumbling around for some clothes. Eventually he found some faded jeans that had seen better days and a shirt. After securing his wallet, he left the room but not before giving Elena a kiss on the cheek.
As he walked out to his car, a sudden thought came to Reno's lethargic brain.
Where in the hell did you go to get sugar plums?
One year and several months later....
Elena stood in front of the full sized mirror, a frown on her pretty face.
Her costume that Reno had picked out for the Halloween party was ugly as sin on her, at least in the Turk's opinion. Not to mention the fact that it made her look fat. But when you're dressed like a sugar plum, it's natural. Placing her hands on her costume enhanced hips, she turned to look at her husband standing in the bathroom door.
"They'll all laugh at me," Elena commented. Reno just smirked and walked up to his wife, wrapping his arms around her padded middle.
"No they won't, babe, and besides I think you look quite sexy," Reno whispered in her ear. Elena rolled her eyes at that and examined Reno's own costume which she had picked out for him. He had a pink tutu around his waist and plastic wings on his back while a tiara on his head completed his image as a fairy.
"Wish I could say the same for you," Elena joked. Reno's face turned a bit red then and he huffed.
"You know I'm only doing this for you, right?" Elena's eyes widened in mock surprise.
"I thought this was your hobby." Reno's eyes narrowed at her remark but Elena just deflected his glare with a giggle. A delighted gurgle rang out through the room then and both Turks turned their attention to the baby girl sitting up in the crib, her pumpkin costume a little ruffled from the movement.
"She'll get all the attention," Reno commented. Elena nodded and went to pick up her daughter, bouncing her in her arms and making silly faces, causing the child to gurgle in delight once more.
"You like the costume, don't you Revy?" Elena said in a high voice. Making sure Revy was secure against her body, Elena then went back to her husband and wrapped her free arm around his side.
"Care to escort a sugar plum and her pumpkin to the dance Mr. Fairy?" Reno gave her a genuine smile and nodded.
"It would be my pleasure," he answered. And together the family went to Yuffie's Halloween party.
With Reno's costume eliciting the most laughs from the ninja of course.
