Chapter Two
It had been a long and exhausting day, all Elizabeth wanted to do was go home spend so time with her girls and spend the night reconnecting with her husband, being almost six months pregnant and having a seven-year-old and a two-and-a-half-year-old, and not to mention them both having full time jobs, finding alone time with her husband was not happening, she missed him being close to him, talking to him about their day without being interrupted by their crying children,
"Bess" Isabelle said walking into her office
"oh hey Iz what up" Elizabeth said holding her baby bump one of her favorite things to do
"just thought I would see if you were ready to leave we could walk out together "Isabelle said cheerfully
"oh ya I'm just about done here, need to call down to the day care so t/'hey can get Ali ready to leave" Elizabeth said as she picked up her phone calling down to the CIA day care for children of the Employees
"Bess are you ok you seem a little off the last few days" Isabelle said concerned for her friend
"oh do I, I'm sorry I'm just tired and you know pregnant" Elizabeth said with a half-smile
"yes I know that Bess, but this my friend is different, come on you can tell me anything" Isabelle said sweetly
"um its nothing Isabelle, its just that I um I Miss my husband" Elizabeth spilled out Isabelle was a good friend and she needed to talk to someone about how she's been feeling
"um Bess, that is why you need to go home" Isabelle said clearly not getting what Elizabeth was getting at
"no Iz that's not it, you don't get it, yes Henrys at home but so are our two beautiful attention hogging girls, they need our attention twenty-four seven, I can't even use the bathroom on my own, let alone spend just five minutes with my husband with out on of them looking for us. I love my girls lz I do, more than anything but with the new baby coming I know alone time with Henry is going to be limited and its really starting to get to me" Elizabeth said with tears in her eyes her hormones clearly getting the best of her.
"so you….." Isabelle started before Elizabeth interrupted
"what to have sex with my husband, mind blowing earth shattering sex with my hot as hell husband" Elizabeth yelled
"um ok then what did I just walk in to" Juliet said walking into the office trying her best not to laugh
"Bess here wants herself some hot alone time with Henry" Isabelle said not trying to hide her laughter
'oh GOD, it's not funny guys, I'm about to lose it, it's been weeks, WEEKs, ail has been having nightmares and been sleeping with us every night, when we do find the time to you know get close we always get interrupted, its driving me crazy" Elizabeth said throwing her head on her desk.
Isabelle and Juliet looked at on anther knowing what they had to do, wanting to be there for their friend,
"so todays Friday Bess you know what that means" they both said
"What" Elizabeth looked up from her desk looking confused as to what her friends was getting at
"it means we don't have work tomorrow, which also means we are taking your girls back to my place for a sleepover so their parents can get their grove on" Juliet said with a hint of laughter
Elizabeth looked at her friends before saying "you guys I love you but I can't ask you to do that ail is a hand full Stevie is has a soccer game in the morning thank you for trying to help I really appreciate but…" before she could finish Isabelle interrupted her
"Bess with all due respect we were not asking, you are going to go get ail form day care and going to go home gather her and Stevie's things together and we are going to pick them up, take them back to Jules place and have an auntie sleepover, while you spend some much needed alone time with your husband, and tomorrow morning we will take Stevie to her game then take the girls shopping and to lunch and drop them off after we feed them dinner and we will not take no for an answer."
Be for Elizabeth could replay Juliet jumped in
"no no no don't even try it, you need this, you're an amazing mom, but even amazing moms need a break sometimes, and missing one of your daughter's soccer games is not going to make you a bad mom, Bess let us help you, we want to do this for you."
Elizabeth looked at her friends, how did she get so lucky with such wonderful friends
"ok fine but if ail gets too much you have to promise you will call me, of if Stevie gets upset because I'm not at her game you call me and I am there promise me"
"Bess they will be fine, but we promise" her friends, both said
Later that night
Juliet and Isabelle had just left with the girls, as hard as it was to say bye to her sweet girls we knew she and Henry needed this time alone together.
She had ordered in because she was not going to ruin this night with her cooking, she was getting everything ready for their Romanic night. the whole house was lit by candlelight she had a glass of Henrys favorite wine waiting for him and grape juice for her, she bought some bubble bath for a nice hot bubble bath later, and was wearing Henrys favorite dark blue nightie that showcased her baby bump, she knew he loved her in it. now this night just needed one last thing to make it perfect, Henry.
It was a little after six when henry pulled up to his house, is favorite part of his day was coming him to his two beautiful girls and kissing his wife hello it was what life was all about, lately he had been wanting to spend more time with just his wife, with the new baby coming soon he knew that time with Elizabeth would become limited even more than it was now, he was going to talk to Elizabeth about his mom coming down to watch the girls and them having a nice Romaic weekend to themselves, he didn't know how she would take it, she was an amazing mom, and she really didn't like to leave the girls but he knew her and knew they both needed this.
Has he walked in the house expecting to be greeted with "DADDYS" and "I MISSED you", but he walked into all the lights in the house off. only being lit by candles, he had no clue what was going on, as he stepped in more, there she was his amazing and god was she sexy standing there with nothing but a blue silk lace nightgown that covered what it needed to, good was she beautiful and damn was he lucky.
"hey baby surprise" she said, stepping near him, wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing his lips hard
It took him a minute to find the strength to pull himself away from her, he looked it to her beautiful eyes, giving her one last kiss be for talking
"god I love you, but as much as I love this surprise where are our little attention hogging daughters?"
They both laughed
"there with Isabelle and Juliet tonight, it's just you and me professor, you ok with that?"
"god am I ever" Henry said has be picked her up and laid her down on the couch
Later that night they were both curled up on the couch naked with just a blanket eating their cold take out
"you know I was going to talk to you about having my mom come watch the girls for a weekend so we could have some alone time, I love our girls, I do more than anything but I don't ever want to lose sight of us you know?" Henry said, placing a kiss on Elizabeth's forehead
"I know baby, I don't either, our girls and this little one" placing a hand on her bump "are my world and I would do anything for them, but it's nice when it's just me and you are a little bit, this all started with just you and me, you know, that doesn't make us bad parents does it" Elizabeth said looking into Henrys eyes for reassurance
"no baby, I think us finding time for just us and to regroup only makes us better parents." He said
"your right it does, I love you professor" she said, leaning it to kiss him passionately before going on to tell him about the bubble bath upstairs to then he picked her up blew out all the candles and made their way upstairs for round three and four.
That morning Elizabeth woke one of her favorite ways in Henry's arms with him, placing light kisses along her neck
"morning baby" she said
"morning babe how you sleep"
She leaning in to kiss him "well the very little sleep you let me have was great."
"last night was." he said
"ya I know, it always is." She smiles
He gave her a toe curling smile before placing a kiss on her bump
"so what the plan for today, what time the girls coming home, I know this is about us, but it's so weird not having them here" he said
"right I was thinking the same thing, Stevie has her soccer game today, Isabelle and Juliet said they would take her, and for us just to relax and I know we need that but god Henry all I want to do is stay here wrapped in your arms all day… but." she was interrupted but Henry placing a swarming kiss to her lips
"but you miss the girls and want to go to the soccer game" he smiled at her
"god yes I'm sorry I know we need this and I am such a bad wife"
"stop" he said "stop right there you are an amazing wife whom I love with everything in me, and one of the things I love the most about you is how good of a mom you are to our children we are so lucky to have you, and this" he said pointing between the both of them "this, what we have is NOT going anywhere we have forever baby to reconnect, and be with one anther but our time with the kids is limited before you know it they will be grown up and out of the house but guess what"
"what" she said tears falling from her eyes
"you and I will still be here, we got all the time in the world baby," he kissed her "now come on let get up take a shower together and go see our girls"
"I will never know how I got so damn lucky Henry McCord" she said looking at him knowing she will never be able to express her love she had for this amazing man,
"no baby I'm the lucky one, now come on let's go." He said to her
That night both he and Elizabeth on the couch with both girls on top of them asleep, he looked at this family, he and Elizabeth have created together and felt beyond blessed he really had no words for the love that he had for this life he was so lucky to have.
