Parenthood

Chapter 11.

Washington heights.

Bobby sat in his study. He had heard Alex return home. Gwen and John were in the garden with Spot, he could hear them playing and laughing. It was good that she had John, he could give her what he no longer could.

A sharp knock at the door brought him out from his thoughts.

Alex had come home early today. She had a few things to set straight with her husband. As she entered their house she saw that her dad and Gwen were outside playing with their dog.

Deciding that there was 'no time like the present' she walked over to the big heavy door and knocked hard. She knew that he had locked it again.

"Open the door Bobby!" She called to him and waited.

After a few minutes she heard the key turn on the other side of the door and watched as Bobby opened the door a little and looked at her.

"We need to talk, right now!" She pushed at the door and forced Bobby to let her in. Before she sat down she saw that he had Googled spinal injuries and long term effects.

Bobby saw where she was looking and quickly switched off the monitor. He reached over to his coffee pot.

"Would you like a coffee?" He offered her, trying to distract her from whatever her intentions were.

Alex shook her head. " No thanks. What I need is for you to read this, and then we need to talk." She handed him the return to duty letter that Dr. Gyson had handed her.

She watched him read it and then he shook his head and handed it back to her.

" Why are you shaking your head? I thought that you would be happy to return to duty."

Bobby looked down at his legs and felt anger.

" What is the point? I'm no longer any use to the NYPD. I won't be able to enter most crime scenes, unless they have wheelchair access, and no perp is going to take a guy in a wheelchair seriously during interrogation!" He looked up into Alex's eyes daring her to challenge him.

Alex knew that antagonistic look he had on his face, she was not going to back down. There was too much on the line here.

" I damn well hope that you aren't expecting me to agree with you Bobby." She leaned in so that her face was right up against his.

"I know how capable you are in your job, and the fact that you are sitting in a wheelchair, will in no way diminish those capabilities. You will know how to turn that to your advantage. As for crime scenes that is what cameras are for they take pictures, you have full access to the morgue with the chair."

She was challenging him and held his gaze as she spoke.

Bobby shook his head.

"Did you understand anything that I said to you?" He asked, realizing that he had raised his voice.

"I understand you Bobby, more than anybody else ever could. You are returning to duty tomorrow. I won't take no for an answer. I'm not sure if you have noticed it, but we have missed you in our lives. So no more hiding in this study. I'm going to get Gwen ready and then we are going to go over to the store. Be ready to go with us in 10 minutes."

Alex stood up and left him in the study to go and get Gwen. Once she had left the study she started to feel scared as to what she would find when she returned with Gwen.

Ten minutes later, true to her word she led Gwen to the study and knocked on the closed door. Trying to control her anger when there was no answer she reached for the door knob.

"It's about time. Been waiting here for ages."

Alex whirled around startled. She saw Bobby waiting by the front door for them. Gwen squealed and raced towards her father and leaped up into his lap. Bobby returned her hug just as enthusiastically.

"Come on daddy let's have a race to the store." Before he could react Gwen was half way down the garden path. Alex grabbed his arm before he could give chase and leaned down and kissed him.

" I see how it is. Distracting me so that Gwen can win huh." Bobby smiled up at her. Then accelerated after his daughter yelling. " Last one there buys the root beer floats!"

She had of course lost and had bought the root beer floats. It was now 10pm and Gwen and her father were already in bed. They had all enjoyed a lovely dinner together. Even Bobby had eaten at the table with them instead of returning to his study. They were now seated on their couch with a bowl of popcorn and were watching Clockwork Orange on their TV. It was about the only DVD that they both enjoyed watching.

It was about half way through the movie when she felt Bobby lay his arm around her and she leaned into him.

It was pretty obvious that he had stopped watching the film when she felt his lips brush at her ear and his hot breath against her skin gave her goosebumps.

When she turned towards him, he captured her lips with his.

She hungrily returned his kiss, the bowl of popcorn fell from her lap onto the floor. But she didn't care she couldn't get her body close enough to Bobby's. So she straddled him. As she ground her hips against him he groaned into her mouth and with both hands he grabbed her hips and pulled her even tighter against himself.

She yanked at his t-shirt and pulled it up and off of him and ran her fingers through the dusting of hair on his chest, as Bobby kissed her throat. He slipped both of his hands inside her pants and cupped her buttocks, pulling her closer to him.

Alex was becoming impatient and she removed her own top, she needed to feel his skin against hers. She loved it when their chests rubbed against each other.

It didn't take her long to remove her bra. Bobby was driving her crazy. Between his wet kisses and nips along her throat and collar bone.

He had slipped one hand down between them and inside her panties and was softly stroking her. It had been too long since they had last made love and everywhere Bobby touched and kissed was leaving a trail of fire. She was losing control of herself, she arched backwards. When she felt Bobby take her nipple between his lips and suck, it was like a small explosion of white lights as she climaxed.

She rested her forehead against his, then scooted back on his lap and started to work the belt to his trousers loose. She was becoming impatient and it took her longer because she was all fingers and thumbs doing it. Finally though she succeeded and freed Bobby of his trousers and boxers.

Finally she too was naked and she straddled him again this time with no clothing between them. She could feel him pulse between her legs and knew he was very close.

Bobby lifted her and she adjusted her hips and she slowly lowered herself down onto his erection. Feeling him stretch her to the max. It felt so damn good as she started a long slow rhythm, Bobby claimed her mouth, his tongue echoing the thrusts of himself inside her.

He had forgotten how amazing it felt to be inside her, to love her. He bit his lip as she quickened the pace and reached between their bodies and teased and rubbed at her until they both could no longer hold out and came.

Their bodies were spent and it took them both awhile to recover from their lovemaking. Alex then watched as Bobby got into his wheelchair and followed him to their bedroom. Once in bed he pulled her body against his and for the first time in ages he was able to have a nightmare free sleep.
