A/N: I am sorry it took so long for the sequel, I had most of it written when I decided I hated the way it was going and deleted it. I have now got to a point that I am somewhat happy about how its unfolding and I thought I would try and at least post the first chapter before the end of the year. So it may be a bit of a wait for chapter two. Any way here is the first chapter, and it is set four years after the end of Making It Work. If you haven't read it you might want to, or even if you've forgotten (wouldn't blame you it's been ages) you should re read it.
Summary: Lilly and Scotty have been married for the past four years and a lot has happened. Lilly's partner at PPD Central, Chris Lassing, detailed out to HIU and Lilly has a new partner, Kat Miller. Scotty still works Narcotics at West Detectives. And Mike and Allie had a little girl who they named Maria.
What could happen next for the two love birds and their three little children? You'll have to find out.
Our Lives Together
Chapter One:
Scotty turned the silver sedan into the driveway of his house in South Philadelphia and turned off the ignition, pausing briefly to run a hand over his tired eyes. The drug bust had gone on longer than even Manny had anticipated and it was now well after midnight. He had tried to call Lilly to tell her that he'd be late but he been stuck interviewing some of the low level drug dealers that they had busted instead. Sighing heavily, he opened the car door and got out and shivered as a cold wind blew. It was only November but snow was already starting to fall, and he tightened his coat more securely around his waist before heading up the sweeping path to the front door of the house that he and Lilly had bought just a year ago.
He pushed open the front door quietly, trying not to wake anyone up, he hated arriving home after the kids had gone to bed. Even after the worst days on the job, coming home to his three beautiful children and his equally gorgeous wife made it all seem worth it. He opened the hallway closet and took the lock box down from the highest shelf, punching in the combination and placing his SIG Sauer inside, alongside Lilly's. He shut the guns away safely again and moved up the small staircase to the second floor.
He stopped by his sons' room first, finding Matthew and James fast asleep in their bunk beds. His two boys had the choice of beds when they moved into their new room but they insisted that they wanted bunk beds just as Scotty and Mike had growing up. He chuckled as he realised that James had gone to sleep wearing his glasses, a well-worn copy of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets clutched in his hand. Scotty crept into the bedroom and removed his son's glasses and carefully placed them on the bedside table, and making sure that he put the bookmark into the place his son was up to before he turned off the small book light that Lilly had gotten him. James frowned in his sleep and rolled over. Scotty next looked up on the top bunk, and found Matthew, clutching his baseball mitt in one hand and his stuff Phillies Phanatic in the other. Matthew was every bit as a baseball fan as Scotty was, even more if that was possible.
He left the room just as quietly, hoping that he didn't wake them.
Next he checked on his daughter. She was curled up asleep in the middle of her bed, the blankets pushed down around her ankles, her favourite stuffed elephant, Ellie, in her tiny hands. He crept into the room and pulled the blankets up more securely around her shoulders, pressing a kiss to her cheek. She stirred and opened her beautiful brown eyes.
"Daddy" she whispered sleepily, smiling broadly at him.
"Hey Princesa" he murmured back, his own grin spreading across his face.
"Your home" she replied, yawning widely.
"Yeah I'm home, go back to sleep"
She nodded and smiled before closing her eyes again and falling asleep almost instantly. He stayed beside her, watching her sleeping for a few moments, utterly captivated by how beautiful his little girl was and wishing that she'd stay like this forever. Scotty pressed one more kiss to her tiny cheek and then stood up.
He headed back into the hallway and into his bedroom, finding Lilly propped up in bed, reading a case file.
"Hey Querida, sorry I'm late"
Lilly looked up and smiled "That's ok, I figured you were stuck on that bust, how did it go?"
Scotty sighed and started to strip off his tie and throw it in the clothes hamper "Ok, managed to nab some of the O's, low level grunts, hoping to get them to roll on a few of the higher ups" Scotty groaned in exhaustion and sank down onto the bed and started to remove his shirt and pants. Lilly closed the file and placed it on the bedside table, watching her husband get undressed and wander slowly over to the bathroom. "Just gonna take a quick shower" he replied as he turned on the light of the en suite.
Scotty re-emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later and Lilly couldn't help but stare at the beads of water that were meandering down his well-formed chest.
He chuckled "See something you like?" he asked cockily as he dried himself off.
"Uh-huh" Lilly replied
Scotty dropped the towel to the floor and now stood stark naked in the centre of their bedroom, Lilly could feel her heart beating harder as he walked the short distance to the bed and sat down on the bed beside her
"Aren't you gonna put some clothes on?" she asked softly, running her hand up his arm "would hate for you to catch a cold"
Scotty grinned and shook his head "oh, I have a better idea on how to get warm"
Lilly smiled as he lowered his head down and pressed his lips to hers "You think you can be quiet?" Lilly asked as Scotty lifted the blankets and slipped underneath them, carefully lowering himself on top of her.
"I can be quiet" Scotty began, pressing kisses to her cheek "question is, can you?"
Lilly grinned "guess we'll find out"
Scotty hands moved down her body and caught the end of her t-shirt with his fingers, slowly dragging it up her body and over her head. He tossed it behind him, not caring where it landed; he was too engrossed in partaking in the feast that was Lilly Rush.
"See something you like?" She teased, repeating her husband's earlier comment, watching as his eyes trail over her chest.
His brown eyes rose to meet hers and he smiled broadly "always Lil" he assured her "always"
Scotty lowered himself down onto her and his lips pressed soft yet urgent kisses to her lips. God he loved her, it was like he couldn't breathe without her and the fact that tonight was the first time that they had been this intimate in months, was making the experience 1000 times better.
"Are you sure the kids are asleep?" she asked him between kisses.
Scotty nodded "checked on them before, they are sound asleep"
Lilly threaded her fingers through his hair and wrapped her long legs around his waist, he took his cue from her, and she was in no mood for foreplay tonight and thank God, neither was he.
"It's been too long Querida" he whispered in her ear.
Lilly nodded "so what are you waiting for?"
"A little eager tonight, aren't we?" He joked as she pressed herself against him.
Lilly wiggled her eyebrows at him "I am not the only one"
Scotty kissed her again, his tongue sliding into her mouth and playing with hers. She moaned softly, tightening her grip on his hair as he shifted into position.
Scotty lifted himself up onto his elbows as they continued to make out, his hands and fingers roaming around the body that was already slick with sweat. She took the opportunity to surge forward, landing him onto his back. He gasped in surprise as Lilly straddled him, her fingers tracing patterns on his abdomen, making him shiver with desire.
She slid back further on his hips and her breath caught in her throat when she felt him swelling underneath her. Scotty's eyes slid shut and he ran his tongue over her bottom lip.
With a swift rock of her hips she took him inside of her, pausing to try and catch her breath. It had been awhile since she'd been on top, Scotty much preferred to be the one in control but Lilly was in no mood to mess around tonight. She needed him, and she needed him now.
"Oh god Lil" Scotty breathed as she straightened up and began to rock her hips back and forth.
Scotty's hands clutched at her hips, trying to resist every fibre of his being as it begged him to roll them back over. Lilly reached out and gripped the headboard, giving herself move leverage to thrust herself over him.
"Oh dear God, don't stop" Scotty uttered under his breath.
"Wasn't planning on it, gotta make this one count" Lilly panted "who knows when we'll be able to do this again"
Scotty chuckled breathlessly "with any luck…tomorrow morning?" he suggested and Lilly laughed as she began to move even faster.
Her head was swimming now; every pleasure neuron in her brain was firing at once. She was so close now but she wasn't willing to let this end just yet. Her fingers left the headboard and she gripped his shoulders, trying to pulling him up to meet her lips.
Scotty complied with her silent request and he shifted his weight so he could sit up, his lips crashing down on hers and their tongues battle once more for dominance.
"I am so close" she muttered
"Allow me"
Scotty lifted them off the bed, turned them around in mid-air and landed with her back down on the mattress, underneath him this time. Now it was his turn.
He thrust into her again, hard and fast as Lilly clutched at his shoulders. Her eyes rolled back in her head as her orgasm began to ripple through her. Scotty grunted as he felt her gripping him tighter, he buried his head in the gap between her neck and shoulder and continued to move inside of her, he would go all night if it wasn't for the exhaustion that was seeping into his brain.
He whispered her name against her neck as he felt himself letting go. He thrust into her, three more times in rapid succession before he groaned and collapsed.
Lilly wrapped her arms around him, holding him close to her, feeling his rapidly beating heat slowing as he caught his breath.
"Scotty that was great"
He couldn't speak he merely nodded and rolled off her, flopping down on the mattress beside her.
"Thank you" she added as she snuggled closer to him, resting her head on his chest.
He nodded and grinned "you're welcome" he replied, hugging her against him "If I wasn't so exhausted Lil, I'd be willing to give it another round"
Lilly chuckled "that's okay, tonight was more than enough to keep me going for a while" she pressed a kiss to chest and closed her eyes.
Scotty pressed one last kiss to the top of her head and closed his eyes as well, falling asleep almost instantly.
