"Kay?" A voice called as a man stepped through the front door of a house.
"In the kitchen," A woman's voice replied, Kay.

The man smiled and threw off his coat before walking into the kitchen. He couldn't wait to hold his wife in his arms again after a long day at work. Kay was at a work top surface, chopping something up for their dinner. The man stood behind her and slid his arms around her waist before planting a kiss of the side of her neck. Kay giggled and turned her head to kiss her husband properly.
"Good day, honey? " She asked as she turned her head back to chop the food up some more.
"Yeah, not too bad. The kids were little shits though," he replied, keeping his arms around his wife's waist.
"Kids are always little shits..." Kay smiled and continued chopping.
"Mmm..." He removed his arms from around her waist and sat on the counter next to her, "Well, at least the holidays are coming soon... then I'll get a break from teaching French."
"You're forgetting, honey, that we have 6 children yourself... Not to mention the 2 grandchildren," Kay said and tipped the chopped onions into a saucepan on the stove.
"Ugh, don't remind me. Talking of our kids, Al got into trouble at school again. I had to deal with her, and I did not let her off lightly."
Kay groaned, why was Al always such a pain in the butt?
"You know what she's like, Ace, what were you expecting?"

((I know what you're thinking, I am completely crazy for making The Dark Ace teach French, be married and have 6 children, but OH WELL, this is what goes on inside my 14 year old fan girl mind during Role-play!))

Alex was Dark Ace and Kay's second daughter, and second child. She was 16 years old and doing what a teenage girl does – rebel.
"Thing is," Dark Ace said as he watched his wife, "I don't understand why Al's like this... Skye wasn't."
Skye's their eldest daughter at 21, then there's Alex, the little troublemaker, followed by the even more troublesome twins, Kacey and James (their 15), Kai, who's 4 and baby Kyris.
"Alex is Alex, Ace, she's always been like that. Now move your ass and go and have a shower before dinner."
"You saying I smell?"
"Yup, pretty much."
Dark Ace grinned, "alright, but only because I love you."
He kissed her neck again and went upstairs to take a shower.

Kay smiled to herself, she was glad that Dark Ace was in a good mood, usually he came home from work grumpy and tired, not one for conversation. She knew exactly what was going to happen tonight due to her husband's good mood. She began to worry, there had to be something wrong with that man's testosterone or something. One day he could be lazy and stay in bed all day and not bother helping, the next he could be a woman's dream; doing all the cooking and cleaning, and the NEXT he could turn into a horny devil, constant kisses and attempts at seduction. She sighed as she stirred the food around in the saucepan. Was this the life she really wanted? A husband who's mood changed daily and 6 children...? Kay needed to talk to someone, and she knew exactly who to go to.

After dinner, Dark Ace went to watch TV, Kyris and Kai curled up, dozing off on his lap, Kacey and James went upstairs to play on their Xbox and Alex went to get ready to go out. Skye didn't live with them anymore. And Kay? She went upstairs to her room to think.

Kay often did that, she sat in the window cil looking out the window at the night's sky. It helped her sometimes. She sighed and looked around the room; photos of her children, husband and herself were around the room, smiling at the camera, looking happy. Then she looked down at her left hand, at her third finger to be precise. She twiddled her wedding ring off her finger and looked at it as it glistened in the moonlight. Why was she just sitting her as a housewife, no job, no career? She had ambitions and dreams as a child, so why was she sitting here and letting them slip away?! Why should Dark Ace be able to go out and work and chose when they have sex and basically take control of Kay's life?!
"No more..." Kay thought to herself as she stood up.

Dark Ace poked his head round the door and smiled, "hey, honey."
"Hi..." Kay replied and turned her head to face the window and looked out at the moon and stars. She couldn't help but sigh a little bit.
"Is... Everything okay?" he asked, slightly concerned.
"Yeah, yeah everything's fine," Kay turned her head and gave him a weak smile before going back to look out the window.
"It doesn't seem like it is... you don't seem very happy, darling," Dark Ace stepped into the room and walked over to her before kneeling by the side of her.
Kay sighed, "I said I'm fine, Ace. You don't have to worry about me you know."
"Yeah but I do... That's like me telling you not to worry about me when I go down the station, and I come home a bit late, isn't it?"
"...Why DO you come home late from the station anyway?" Kay asked and faced him properly.

Dark Ace blinked, "Just... do I guess," Kay raised her eyebrow and Dark Ace smiled a little bit, "You look so hot when you do that."
"This isn't a smiling matter, Ace, why do you come home late from work?" Kay asked, quite sternly which was unusual for her, normally she just backs away and doesn't bother sticking up for herself or speaking her feelings... But she wanted a change now, and she was doing it.
"I didn't say it was, honey."
"Then don't smile, and stop trying to change the subject, why do you come home late from work?!" Her voice was getting raised slightly as she could feel the small anger bubble inside of her.
"It depends if we've had many fires or anything..."
((Dark Ace is also a part-time fire-fighter ))
Kay kept her eyebrow raised, "Hmm..."
Dark Ace smiled at her innocently, "Honest."

Kay didn't quite believe him. There was something in that innocent smile that made her feel unsure about what he was telling her. She opened her mouth to say something but was stopped by the sudden interlock of Dark Ace's mouth and her own. She blinked a few times in surprise before kissing him back.
"Honest, Kay, I'm not lying."
"Mmm... Okay," Kay replied as Dark Ace kissed her again and pulled her closer.
