Kindness for more
Ch3
He stands and walks out leaving the door ajar, she stays sat on the sofa, can she really do this?.
Outside skinner gets to his car, opens the boot and gets out a holdall bag and a big box, he puts the bag on his shoulder then carries the box up.
"Wow big enough box" says Dana
He just laughs
"you'll love what's in it, so will William. Its a sensory play mat with apparatus, and he can use it for years yet. Let's set it up then bed, yeah?"
"easy assembly, you know what that means?"
"Its impossible to do"
Both laugh and set to the task.
Half an hour later its done,
"it looks great, he's gonna love it, thank you"
And she turns to hug him, he's straight in her arms
"its ok, I knew he'd love it, and I like helping out. Neway I have to by name now I'm uncle skinner"
Both laugh "ok bed time"
"you go through, I just wanna check everything and get the monitor."
He nods, grabs his bag and goes in. He's not seen her bedroom in forever and now he's got to sleep in it, with her. He knows its going to be hard, in many ways. He sets his bag on the bed then works out which side he'll be on, uhh the right, suits him. He opens his bag gets out his pjs and toothbrush, is just about to go into the bathroom when
"what are they? You won't need then you'll cook in them in bed"
"what? Why?"
She walks up to him takes hold...
"You've slept alone for too long"
And she throws them across the room
"so what shall I sleep in then?"
"boxers, t shirt if you prefer"
"how'd you know I wear boxers?"
She feels herself blush
"I don't, do you?" he laugh
"wait and see" he smiles and steps into the bathroom
Dana worries she's come on to strong, and if he's flirting back or just being cool about the situation. She goes to her draw and looks through for some nice pjs to wear, she riffles through, on top are all her maternity bits, not at all sexy. She finds her nice satin set, she looks into her mirror as skinner steps out of the bathroom, she turns to look at him
"uhh ha you are a boxers man"
"I am, but what are these?" pointing to her hands, holding her pjs
"what does it look like?"
"Uhh but miss Scullly if I'm not allowed pjs nor are you"
He grabs then and throws them across the room
"what am I meant to sleep in then?"
He shrugs, he can think of a perfect way, naked but knows to keep quiet
"I don't know"
Both laugh a little and just smile at each other, he moves and puts his clothes in his bag, then puts the bag by the cupboard, Dana stays still stunned by the fact she will very soon be in bed with skinner in not very much.
