Author's note: Hello Everyone! Sorry for the update. School is back in session so I won't have as much time to write unfortunately. Enjoy.
Red was working on something in the garage when a brilliant idea hit him. He knew he needed to take Kitty's mind off of sex and okay his too. He decided he would woo her. He began thinking of ways to make his plan work.
There was smoke coming from the stove causing Kitty to cough. She grabbed the rolls she accidentally let burn while she was thinking about Red making love to her. She looked down at the now black rolls and tossed them into the garbage.
Laurie got out of her car and saw her dad in the garage deep in thought.
"Hi daddy!"
He was so startled he dropped the wrench. He heard his daughter laughing.
"Hi princess."
Laurie said "sorry. I scared you."
He said "you didn't scare me!"
She rolled her eyes and said "surrrre."
He huffed "it's not nice to sneak up on people especially one that had a heart attack!"
She laughed "you had that almost a year ago! You can't use that forever."
He was getting annoyed "did you need something?"
She raised her eyebrow and said "can't a daughter just say hi to father?"
He cocked his head and looked at her like she lost her mind.
She sighed and smirked "okay I need money."
He sighed "how much?"
She really felt bad for asking because she had gotten really good at saving her money but she had a few expenses that snuck up on her.
"$70. I promise I'll pay you back!"
He sighed "I'll need to go to the bank. I don't usually carry cash. When do you need it?"
"In two days."
He nodded "I'll go to the bank tomorrow."
She smiled brightly and squeezed his neck "thank you daddy! I promise I'll pay you back as soon as possible."
He patted her arm and smiled slyly. She saw the look in his eye and let go of him.
"What?"
He said "forget about paying me back! I need your help with something then we can call it even."
She narrowed her eyes at her father and said "you've been spending too much time around Hyde daddy!"
He laughed "relax, its nothing bad. I have a surprise for your mother and I need your help. So?"
She begin to smile and said "okay. What do I have to do?"
Red filled her in on his plans.
Eric and Steven came into the kitchen and crinkled their noses.
"Geez mom what did you burn!"
Kitty rolled her eyes "rolls. Dinner is almost ready go wash up."
The boys washed their hands and sat down.
Kitty went outside to get her husband. She walked over to the garage froze when she heard her daughter exclaim "oh daddy that is so romantic. Mom will love it!"
Kitty's eyes widened and thought 'mom will love what?'
Her curiosity got the better of her so she crept closer. Much to her dismay they clammed up.
She said "Red din... Oh hi Laurie! When did you get back?"
Red narrowed his eyes and wondered how much his wife heard. He saw the gleam in her eyes and immediately knew she had heard them talking.
Laurie wanted to get out of the garage as soon as possible so she said "thanks again daddy!"
Kitty saw Red looking at her "what was she thanking you for?"
He said "she needed some money to pay her bills."
Kitty sighed "Red she is a grown woman besides I thought she was saving her money now. She needs to be responsible and won't be as long as her daddy is there to get her out of trouble!"
Red said "it's not a big deal Kitty. It's been over a year since she's asked me for anything. Everyone needs help sometimes. Don't you agree?"
She sighed and realized she was being a bit hard on Laurie "I guess you're right. I'm just sick of how you baby her!"
He raised his eyebrow "oh you mean like how you baby Eric?"
She glared at him "someone has too!"
He knew this conversation was going badly and the last thing he wanted to do was fight with her so he said "what we're you going to tell me?"
She was confused by the change of subjects but welcome it.
"Oh! Dinner is ready. Go wash up!"
He nodded and playfully said "yes ma'am!"
She laughed and they walked into the house. Red immediately frowned at the smell and said "did you burn something?"
She sighed "rolls. It was all your fault you know!"
"My fault?!"
She nodded and said "I was thinking about sex."
Suddenly they heard three voices shout "mom! Gross!"
She smiled as Eric said "seeing you guys doing it was bad enough now you're talking about it at the table?!"
She ruffled his hair "what kids can have sex but parents who are madly in love with each other can't?"
The kids groaned and Laurie muttered "oh for god sakes! I think you need to hose her down dad!"
Red laughed and Kitty glared at her daughter "you two started this! I know your up to something and I want to now!"
Red said "I don't know what your talking about sweetheart."
She glared at him and switch tactics.
"Well then Laurie if you don't tell me right now what your father is up to you won't get that $70 to pay your bills!"
Laurie's mouth fell open "mom, I need that!"
Red calmly said "don't worry princess you'll get it. You're mother is just nosy."
Kitty's nostrils flared and she slammed her fork down "nosy?! Red Forman I am not nosy I am sexually frustrated and I'm taking it out on the kids!"
Eric sighed and pushed his plate away. He miserably said "that's it! I've lost my appetite."
He went down to the basement while Hyde watched the show.
Red looked at the empty seat and smirked "nice going Kitty. One down 2 to go!"
Kitty huffed and said "that's it! You clean up the kitchen I'm going to bed!"
He watched her storm out of the room. He looked at the clock and said "I wonder if she realizes it's only 6:45?"
Laurie said "daddy you should've just told her!"
Red smiled said "but fighting with her is fun!"
Hyde laughed while Laurie shook her head "men! You're all the same!"
She stormed out of the room.
Hyde smirked and said "and then there were 2!"
Red rolled his eyes and left the room.
Hyde looked at the empty table and "and then there was one!"
Red went into the bedroom and saw the bathroom door shut. He heard the tub filling up. He softly knocked on the door and said "Kitty? I'm sorry baby I was just messing with you."
"It's open!"
He turned the knob and saw her in the bathtub. Her eyes were closed and she had bubbles surrounding her. He smiled. He walked over to her and kneeled besides the tub. He kissed her shoulder and she opened her eyes.
She smiled and said "care to join me?"
He sighed "you know I want to but I can't Kit-Kat."
She groaned "dammit Red I want to make love! I miss you. I miss us."
He heard her voice crack and he brushed his finger down her cheek "I know baby. I know this is hard on you so when the time comes I will make it worth your while. In the mean time their is something I want to ask you."
She sniffled and looked at him "what?"
He grabbed her wet hand and said "Kitty, would do me the honor of going on a date with me?"
She looked at him like he lost his mind then started laughing. He look disappointed and said "so does that mean no?"
She finally got herself under control and said "oh you were serious?"
He nodded.
She smiled softly "you want to date me?"
He shrugged "never mind. I wanted to do something special for you since we can't make love but this was stupid! Forget I said anything."
She dug her nails into his skin "wait! I'm sorry Red you just sprung that on me. I thought you were joking you don't normally doing romantic things like that!"
He looked at her wedding ring and whispered "well maybe I should start. After everything we've been through the last few years its like we've been given a second chance. I don't want to waste a second of our time together. You're my queen you always have been. I think it's time I started treating you like one."
She had tears in her eyes "oh Red I know you love me. I feel special when I'm with you. I get to see the real Red Forman. The truth is your a big'ol softy."
His eyes widened "I am not!"
She smiled and ran her finger down his cheek "I wouldn't fall in love with a jerk. I know you have a big heart and would do anything for anyone that needed help. I also know you love all those kids that are always in our house; even the foreigner."
His eyebrow twitched and she giggled. She rubbed his cheek and said "yes."
He looked confused "yes what?"
She smiled "I would love to go on a date with you Red Forman."
He smiled "excellent! I will pick you up at 7:00. We have reservations at Giovancii's."
Her eyes widened "are you serious?!"
He nodded "only the best for my girl."
She blinked back tears "you're so sweet. That was one of the reasons why I fell in love with you."
He smiled "really?"
She nodded "you treated me better than any of my old boyfriends. I knew you were the only one for me the first time we kissed."
Tears sprang in his eyes and she reached up to wipe a tear that threatened to fall "why Mr. Forman are you crying?"
He pushed her hand away and stood up "don't be ridiculous! I don't cry!"
She smiled "Did I embarrass you?"
He snapped "no! I'll be downstairs!"
"Wait! Don't go."
He walked back over to her and kneeled back down. He brushed his hand down her arm.
She sighed "I love you Red. This would be more fun if you were in the tub with me!"
"Kitty!"
She muttered "I know, I know!"
He kissed her head.
