Shelby laughed at the thought of her and Scott having sex with Bailey being in the next room. Her and Scott were now sitting on the kitchen floor. The ice pack Shelby was supposed to take Bailey was still on the counter, but it was melting. The passion was still high between Scott and Shelby.
"Bailey's probably wondering what happened to us." Shelby said, twisting her hair between her fingers.
"It's only been ten minutes." Scott said, wrapping an arm around Shelby. "Knowing her, she's probably already fallen asleep."
"Yeah, you're right." Shelby agreed. "But we should go check on her. I don't want her to sleep this early."
Shelby slowly stood up, dragging Scott up with her.
"Do you want me to fix anything for dinner?" Scott asked.
"Nah." Shelby replied. "We'll just order Chinese. I don't think Bailey feels much like eating anyways."
Scott smiled. There was sexual tension still between the both of them. For the ten minutes they were in the kitchen, they had wanted to have sex but Bailey got the best of them. They knew to wait until they put their daughter to bed.
Shelby was shocked to see Bailey sitting up on the couch, watching TV. Both she and Scott were for sure Bailey would be asleep.
"Where were you, Mommy?" Bailey asked, looking at Shelby. "I thought you said you'd be right back."
Shelby sat down on the couch beside her daughter.
"I went to get you and ice pack, but Daddy and I got to talking." Shelby explained. It wasn't the whole truth.
Bailey turned back to the TV. She was watching Law and Order SVU. That was the only show she'd watch. Even though she was only seven, she loved watching the two main characters: Elliot and Olivia. She loved the crime.
Shelby grabbed the remote and turned the TV off.
"Are you hungry?" Shelby asked Bailey.
"A little." Bailey replied.
"You want some Chinese?" Shelby asked. "Daddy ordered your favorite soup."
It took an hour for the Chinese take-out to get to the house. The Barringer's were quite as they ate at the dining room table.
"That Tylenol knocked her out." Shelby said, looking at Bailey who was asleep.
Scott chuckled.
Shelby stood up, and then walked over to Bailey.
"I'm going to put her to bed." Shelby told Scott, picking Bailey up out of the chair. Bailey didn't flinch once. "Could you grab another ice pack out of the freezer?"
Scott nodded, and then stood up.
"I don't want her to wake up in the middle of the night with her leg bothering her." Shelby explained.
Scott walked into the kitchen, opened up the freezer, and grabbed a purple ice pack. After shutting the freezer door, he walked out of the kitchen and down the hallway to Bailey's bedroom. He watched as Shelby gently laid their daughter down on her bed.
"I got the ice pack." Scott said, holding it up for Shelby to see.
Scott walked over to the bed.
"Thanks." Shelby said, taking the ice pack from Scott. Shelby wrapped the ice pack up in a towel, and then laid it on Bailey's right leg. "This should hold her until morning."
Shelby stood up, then leaned over Bailey, and kissed her forehead.
"Do you think she'll sleep all night?" Scott asked, pulling the purple covers up over Bailey's body.
Shelby shrugged.
"I'm hoping she will since I gave her Tylenol." Shelby replied.
Scott and Shelby stood there, watching their daughter sleep.
"Let's go before we wake her up." Scott said, grabbing Shelby's arm.
Right after Scott and Shelby shut Bailey's bedroom door, Scott led Shelby into their bedroom, and shut the door quietly behind him.
Shelby smiled as Scott started to pull the covers down on the bed.
"I figured since Bailey was asleep, we could get back to where we left off in the kitchen." Scott said, walking over to Shelby.
