'Victoria…'

'Tori, honey…'

Victoria wakes up, looking at the glowing alarm clock on her nightstand. The time read barely after three in the morning. She yawns and turns to find Joy, wide awake. Rubbing her eyes, she smiles a little.

'Babe, what's wrong? Are you alright?'

Joy looks at her, her eyes glimmering in the moonlight which was peeking through their drapes. Victoria always loved how Joy's eyes seemed to have that sparkle when the moon cast a glow upon them. Smiling, she looks at Victoria.

'I'm fine…'

Victoria looks at her, and then touches her wife's belly gently. 'Our baby?'

Joy smiles again coyly, 'Kicking like a kicker for an American football team.'

Victoria, a bit frustrated, then asks, 'Then why did you wake me up then?' Joy smiles and puts a finger to Victoria's lips, silencing her.

'Hush, love…I don't want the kids to wake up,' she says, leaning in to kiss Victoria against her lips. Victoria nods; distracted some by the sudden kiss, but Joy's lips were so soft…she couldn't resist them. She whimpers softly as they pull apart, but they didn't pull apart for long. Joy wraps her arms around Victoria's neck, kissing her again gently.

'What did I do to deserve this attention at this ungodly hour?'

Joy pauses and smiles at her wife. 'Shut up, darling…you've woken me up for attention before…now it's my turn to. I'm making it even.'

Victoria sighs contentedly and lets Joy kiss her again, as she herself ran her fingers through the messy somewhat tangled ringlets smattered across Joy's pillow.

'Are you wearing it still…?' Victoria whispers.

Joy looks at her, raising an eyebrow, somewhat confused by what Victoria asked. 'Huh, what?'

Victoria whispers again in response,' The gorgeous lace teddy.'

Joy nods, 'I put it back on earlier while you were sleeping. I like the feel of it against my body. You really know my taste in lingerie.'

Victoria smiles, slipping her hand under the covers. She could feel the mesh against her fingers. Smiling she toys with the bow on it. Joy grins, and loosens the bow a little. Victoria kisses her cheek as a sign of thanks, and slips her hand through the open slit. They lay there for a few moments in silence as Victoria reaches to find a position she was comfortable with. She finally rests her palm against Joy's belly and Joy sighs contentedly.

'I like you like this. Attentive…'

Victoria smiles sweetly, pressing a kiss against Joy's cheek. 'Thanks for the compliment, baby.'

She smiles, and reaches for Victoria's hand, and grasps it.

'Babe?'

Victoria looks at her, 'Yes, sweetheart?'

'Do you think I'm still beautiful?'

Victoria brushes Joy's hair with her free hand away from her face. 'Oh baby, you're gorgeous…and sexy.'

Joy raises an eyebrow, 'Victoria, be honest.'

Victoria sighs, and presses a kiss against Joy's forehead.

'I am being honest, honey…you are. Even at six months pregnant and a busy mother of two with one on the way….you're gorgeous and glowing and terribly sexy,' Victoria says, biting her lip. Joy blushes.

'You are so sweet, darling.' Joy smiles and nuzzles against Victoria's bare shoulder. Victoria gently strokes her hair.

'Three months from now, we'll have our baby girl here,' she says, leaning in to kiss Joy. Joy smiles. She was tired of being pregnant. This time around was different. She was finding herself having to take it easy more. Victoria could feel how tired her wife was and picked up the housework. No matter how unfamiliar Victoria was with cleaning, she tried her very best to keep the kids out of Joy's hair when she took her naps, or she got a babysitter to look after them while she took care of Joy when Joy's morning sickness was at it's very worst. Victoria held her when she wanted to be held, gave her foot rubs when she asked for them, or even gave her a tummy rub when she was feeling nauseated. Joy was extremely grateful for everything and she made sure every day she gave Victoria just as much attention as Victoria gave to her.

'Victoria, just so you're aware, this is our last baby. I don't think my body can handle this anymore, and at my age…I'm getting too old to carry any more kids.'

Victoria leans in, pressing a kiss against Joy's cheek. 'Aww, babe…I know this time around has been really rough. Joy smiles weakly, and nods.

'I'm really glad we're together.'

'I feel the same, babe. Every single day of my life I'm glad you're my wife.'
