"This was a really good idea." Molly whispered lazily, snuggling against Nathan.

"Yeah, it was." Nathan sighed.

That morning, Molly's face was still pretty well bruised and battered, but the swelling had reduced considerably. Nathan had gotten up several times in the night to get a cold pack to press to her face while she slept. He'd fallen asleep with her in his arms, but he didn't sleep much. He'd had a nightmare, about what had happened to Molly when he wasn't there, and he found himself unable to go back to sleep. Without waking her, he'd kept the pack against her injured face, watching her sleep peacefully for a while. But she too didn't sleep very well, and had also awoken from a nightmare.

After the incident with Molly's father, Nathan had decided to take an extra day off, to extend their three day weekend into a four day one. Although her father had been locked in the local jail, Nathan hadn't wanted to leave her side. Once he was satisfied that she was alright that morning, Nathan had run down to the restaurant to tell them that he was going to take that day off as well. Most of the guys there had already heard about what had happened to Molly, and had gladly told him to return home to her. One of his chefs had even sent him back with some of the chicken that Molly had liked so much.

Once returning, Nathan had Molly settle in on the couch in their living room. Molly had been ecstatic about her chicken, and told Nathan to thank his chef for it when he did return back to work. Nathan had put it in the refrigerator, so she could have it for lunch, and had returned to the living room. Nathan had lit a fire in the fireplace, and settled onto the couch next to her, wrapping a blanket around the both of them. They'd snuggled in and held each other, as they had all night, listening to the fire crackle in front of them.

Nathan moved his hand around and placed it on her belly. "And how's the little one this morning?"

Molly smiled. "Still as rambunctious as usual."

"That's my girl."

Molly giggled. "You're still under the impression that it's a girl?"

"I have no doubt." Nathan replied, smiling down at her.

"We have to talk about names here soon. It's getting close to time you know."

Nathan chuckled. "Yeah, I know. I haven't really come up with anything though."

"I've thought of a few."

Nathan raised an eyebrow. "Ya have, have ya?"

Molly nodded. "Would you like to hear them?"

"Of course."

"Well, if it's a boy, I liked Ryder or Alex. And I also liked Lea or Michelle if it's a girl."

Nathan nodded. "I like them. Wasn't Lea your mother's name?"

Molly smiled sadly. "Yes."

"Then we'll name her Lea."

Molly giggled. "And if it is a boy?"

Nathan sighed. "I like either if it's a boy, but I'm telling you it's a girl."

"Well I think it is a boy."

Nathan chuckled. "How much you want to bet on it?"

"You want to place money on what gender our first child is?" Molly asked, sounding offended.

"I was… I was just kidding Molly… I'm sorry if…" Nathan started.

"Aw I'm just teasing with you," Molly interrupted, "I'll bet you fifteen gold pieces that it's a boy."

Nathan laughed, and then whistled low. "That's a pretty confident bet."

"I'm confident that I'm right."

Nathan smirked. "Alright, fifteen gold pieces it is. You win if it's a boy, and I win if it's a girl."

"Deal." Molly said, leaning back and pressing a kiss to Nathan's lips.

Nathan raised an eyebrow as she intensified their kiss by grabbing the side of his face, and bringing it down further towards hers. She nibbled on his lower lip, and Nathan felt a shiver run down his spine. She released his mouth long enough to string hot kisses down his throat, to the spot at the base that caused him to groan low in his throat. Even with the simplest of moves, she always seemed to know what undo him, causing him to be putty in her hands. He pulled her mouth back up to his and breeched her lips, sweeping his tongue into her mouth. She moaned against him, her tongue dueling with his as desire stirred heavily in both of them.

Underneath the blanket, Nathan's hand snaked up to cup her breast, feeling as Molly arched up into his hand. She whispered sweet words against his lips as his other hand went to trace a finger down her belly. After everything she'd gone through yesterday, this was going to be about her today. He was going to wipe all the fear from her mind, and bring her nothing but pleasure now. His fingers moved down her body, and underneath the fabric of her undergarments, touching the very core of her. Lord he'd barely touched her and she was already this wet for him. Nathan groaned low in his throat as he went to press a kiss against her neck. Molly moaned again, and bit her lower lip as he touched her.

"Nathan." She groaned as he skillfully stroked her moist flesh.

"Yes love?" He asked, his voice teasing as he found the point of her desire. She grabbed his arm with her hand and gasped as he teased her with his fingers. Anything she had further wanted to say to him stopped as his fingers began to work her. Nathan reveled in the sounds that escaped her lips as he continued to pleasure her. Her legs had spread, and she ground herself shamelessly against his hand while Nathan nibbled at her earlobe.

His fingers pumped in and out of her, as his thumb worked her nub. He knew her body well enough at this point to know exactly where to touch her to bring her the ultimate pleasure. And his efforts proved correct when her hand squeezed against his arm, and she arched her body up. She cried out in completion and held herself up as she rode out the pleasure. Nathan smiled in satisfaction at having given this to her, hearing her whisper his name incoherently as her body trembled against his. She slowly collapsed against him, sighing contently. She swallowed thickly and looked back at him, smiling languidly.

"Your turn here soon sir." She said quietly.

Nathan shook his head, pressing a kiss to her nose. "Maybe later love, this one was for you."

She sighed again. "God love ya Nate." Nathan chuckled as he snuggled her back against him. A few moments later, he felt her breathing deeply, as she drifted off to sleep. She hadn't slept much that night either, and Nathan hoped that she wouldn't have another nightmare. It wasn't good for her not to get much sleep, especially now that she was pregnant.

A knock sounded from the front door, and Nathan turned his head. He wasn't expecting anyone, and thought it probably was a salesperson. They always loved coming up here to harass them this time of the year. He remained quiet and closed his eyes, continuing to hold Molly against him. He sat back for a moment longer before another knock came, and cursed quietly. Carefully, he managed to maneuver Molly off of him without waking her. He tucked her in on the couch and quietly made his way to the front door, wiping his hand on his pants.

He unlocked the door and opened it just enough for him to peer outside. Eduardo stood outside, and Nathan groaned, opening the door further to let him in. Eduardo stomped his boots on the front stoop before walking in. Nathan motioned for him to remain quiet, and Eduardo peered around the corner at the sleeping Molly, peacefully dozing.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked, his voice quiet.

"He's gone."

Nathan shrugged his shoulders. "Who's gone?"

"Molly's father. He's gone."

"What the hell do you mean he's gone?" Nathan whispered fiercely.

"I mean, he broke out of jail earlier today and no one has been able to find him since."
