Hello Everyone. I hope you enjoy this update! Happy Reading!

Monday morning, the twins were given their 2-months shots. It hurt Fitz more than them. He hated to see his babies cry even though he knew it was best for them. Both parents decided to stay home with them just to make sure they were ok even though Kat had told them that she would take good care of her grand babies.

Fitz spent the weekend helping his mother put most of her things into storage. He knows that he should be at work but he felt that his babies needed him more. He was sitting in his recliner holding both of them when Liv and Kat came back in the house with groceries.

His mother shook her head, "Fitz, they are fine. I bet you haven't moved since we left."

Fitz was frozen like a statue. He spoke quietly too afraid to wake the babies, "I just don't like them crying. That nurse gave them too many shots. My Faithy was crying too long. She knows her daddy doesn't go for that."

Liv walked towards him to get Quad, "I can help you put them to bed."

He turned from her, "No, they need some daddy time."

Liv grabbed Quad anyway. Then the two of them sat in Fitz's lap. She rested her head on his shoulder, "I need some daddy time too."

He held her tight and kissed her forehead, "I don't like those shots. How many more do they have to get?"

Liv sighed, "A lot. But it's necessary."

He started pouting, "I still don't like it. I wanted to hurt that nurse for hurting my babies."

Kat sighed loudly with a groan. She walked in front of Fitz and Liv, "Ok, I see now that I have to be tough with you two." She pointed towards the kids, "They are babies. At this stage, they only eat, sleep, shit and cry. Crying is good for them. It's helps their lungs and it's how they communicate. You can not stop them from crying and you shouldn't jump every time they do. These are going to be the most spoiled kids in the world. And the most sheltered if you are upset about simple shots."

Fitz kissed Faith on the head, "You didn't see her cry. She was hurting."

Kat rolled her eyes, "Boy please. I had you. You cried too. Once it was over then you were fine. I will admit I was a nervous wreck at first but being a parent is about letting your child experience some pain. Everyday will not be rainbows and sunshine, but that is okay."

Liv leaned back into Fitz as he pulled his family closer to him.

Kat put her hands on her hips and huffed, "Okay, this is the game plan. Today you two will be over protective of the twins. That's fine. But tomorrow, you are both taking your asses to work and leaving them home with me. You will only be allowed to call me twice and I will send you check-in pictures. You will do your jobs and do them well knowing that Granny is taking good care of her babies. Once they are in school next week, I will start looking for a place of my own. Any objections?"

They both shook their heads no.

Kat clapped her hands, "Good. I will put the food away and see about lunch. You may carry on with your protectiveness." Kat walked back into the kitchen.

Fitz turned his head into Liv's neck, "I told you she was mean."

Liv snickered, "Are you going to be a baby all day?"

He kissed her neck, "No. I will enjoy spending time with you and the kids. I just hate the shots. I don't want to see that anymore."

Liv kissed his cheek, "Next time you can wait outside and then play super daddy when they are done."

He smiled, "I like that."

Fitz held his family until Faith woke up. He fed and changed her. Then he switched and did the same with Quad. Neither of them were put down the entire day. Kat silently walked around shaking her head but inside she was overflowing with joy.

She looked at a picture of Big Jerry on the mantle. He was smiling and happy. She looked at Liv, who was working on some music on her piano and Fitz, who was up walking and bouncing the babies in his arms.

He was talking to them in his baby voice, "You like listening to mommy sing? Yeah. She has a beautiful voice."

Kat put her fingers to her lips. Then she put her fingers on the picture, "I wish you were here. But I know you are looking down on us. We raised a good son. He's going to be an amazing father just like you."

Thursday evening after school, Liv was in her room playing her keyboard. She was rearranging a song and she was so in her head that she didn't hear Fitz come in the door behind her.

He stood there looking at her with his arms crossed. She was mumbling and singing so softly that he wasn't able to really catch the song.

After a few minutes, Liv noticed a shadow and turned around startled, "Jesus! You scared the mess out of me."

Fitz laughed and walked towards her, "I've been standing there for the past 5 minutes. You get into those music zones and you can't hear anything."

She finished writing her notes, "I know. I just thought of this song and I wanted to play around with it while I had time." She turned back to face him, "What are you doing here? I didn't think I would see you until you got home."

He sat beside her on the bench, "We are finished with our project and don't need to set up the new one until Monday. I thought that I would take you out some place to celebrate your birthday."

She kissed him on the lips, "Babe, my birthday is Saturday. I thought we were going to Boston."

He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, "We are but I wanted to go somewhere without the babies. I figured you would like this."

She took the paper from him. She read it and squealed, "Oh my god! You are taking me to the Museum of Natural History. Wow!" He had given her their printed tickets.

He laughed at her excitement, "Yeah, I remembered you saying that you wanted to go there. Plus they have a performance art show exhibit or something going on this week. How about that and dinner?"

She threw her arms around his neck, "I have the best husband in the entire world!"

He picked her up and spun her around, "I have the best wife!"

They were laughing and didn't hear Mrs. Butler come into the room, "Excuse me!"

They stopped spinning but Liv kept her smile, "Hey, sorry."

Mrs. Butler smiled and waved her off, "No, I hate to interrupt but Mr. Beene wanted me to remind you that the record company may be stopping by tomorrow to check our progress."

Liv was bubbly with excitement, "That's fine. I think they will be pleasantly surprised and I will make sure to give you all of the credit. You did very well while I was on leave."

Mrs. Butler beamed with pride, "I learned from your example and I couldn't let you down after you got me a raise as well."

"You deserved it and more."

"Thank you. Now my husband doesn't have to work as much and we can enjoy each other. Which why I am headed home. I will see you tomorrow, Mrs. Grant. It was good to see you too, Mr. Grant."

They both waved bye to her.

Liv turned to Fitz, "I am ready when you are."

He pointed towards the door leading to the hallway, "Don't you have to sign out or something?"

Liv shook her head, "No, Butler took care of that for me. It's a long walk from back here and she had to go to the office anyway. I do the same for her sometimes."

He extended his arm, "Well it would be my honor to be your escort for the evening."

She took his arm, "Look at you being a gentleman. I love it when you spoil me."

They headed towards the back door, "I spoil you as much as you spoil me."

He opened her car door for her. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "No, you spoil me more. That's why I love you so much."

He kissed her back, "I would give you the world if I could."

She whispered against his lips, "All I need is you."

They both got in the truck and drove to the museum. When they arrived, they quickly realized they didn't have time to cover everything. Liv wanted to visit the areas of astronomy, archaeology and paleontology. Fitz listened as always as she explained some things. Her father had brought her a natural history book when she was younger. She explained the different dinosaur periods and the theory of how Earth was one big continent that broke apart.

Fitz is constantly amazed by her vast knowledge, "Why do you know all of this stuff? I would have thought they were useless facts."

Liv shrugged her shoulders, "To some people they are. You have to remember that I didn't have friends growing up. Every time I met a friend, we had to move. I mainly kept to myself and read. When we lived in Italy, my father wouldn't allow me to go outside when it was getting dark. I hate that because I wanted to go to the library. That's when he bought my first set of encyclopedias and my history books. I found it fascinating how everyone had a theory for everything. Evolution versus creationism is the cornerstone of history and science."

Fitz frowned, "Okay. That just went over my head."

Liv laughed, "Some people believe in Evolution. They believe everything on Earth including people evolved or grew from something. They think that man grew from Apes or monkeys."

Fitz asked the obvious question, "Then why are there still Apes and Monkeys at the zoo? Why wouldn't they just become human and leave?"

Liv pointed to him, "Exactly. If things evolve then why hasn't it evolved in the last 200 years or so. Now Creationism believe that God simply created everything the way it should be. Man did not evolve because as the bible clearly states, 'God created man.'"

They strolled along hand in hand. Fitz continued the conversation, "Which one are you?"

Liv tilted her head to the side, "The Christian part of me believes creationism. But there is a part that believes in some part of evolution." They stopped in front of a Woolly Mammoth from the Ice Age Era. She pointed to it, "Take this for example. The Woolly Mammoth is an ancient ancestor to the elephant yet they are extinct. We have to believe that they evolved and adapted over time to get what we know as an elephant today."

Fitz nodded in understanding, "I get it. The original mammoths are extinct but they evolved and changed with the climate and history."

Liv smiled, "Exactly. An elephant couldn't survive then like the mammoth couldn't survive now."

Fitz looked at it in awe, "Wow." He turned to Liv and smiled, "I like these little outings with you. I learn more than I did in school."

They walked around some more. She squeezed his hand, "Babe, you are smart. I think you were more concerned with fitting in at school. I had that same problem when I first came to this country."

He kept looking at different exhibits, "I bet it was amazing growing up overseas."

"I guess. But you have to remember that I knew no other way. I was born overseas."

He stopped to look at her, "That's another thing I am confused about. If you were born overseas, how are you a citizen."

She pulled him towards a bench where they sat down, "US law says that if my parents were married at the time of my birth and at least one is a US citizen then I am a citizen or if they are not married then as long as my mother is a citizen then so am I."

"But you are also a German citizen since you were born in Germany."

Liv nodded her head, "It's actually called Deutschland and the language is Deutsch. Only English speaking countries call it Germany."

Fitz laughed, "Are you serious? How the hell do you change a name of a country?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. Trust me when I say they don't think too highly of the US over there. My mother liked living there because she felt safe from her father. She always talk about his need to control everything."

"It must have hurt to live in fear of your own father."

Liv sat quietly for a few minutes. Then she got an idea, "How about we go to Europe this summer instead of our US travels? We can do a two week guided tour."

"I thought you wanted to visit the states."

She squeezed his hand tighter, "I do but the babies will be too young for all of that. You and I can go on this last ride before they are ready to see the world. Plus I am kind of homesick. I could show you places I lived and different foods we ate. I think it will be fun."

He leaned over and gave her a kiss, "If that's what you want to do then it is fine with me." He looked at his watch, "Ready to see this performance art?"

Liv jumped up pulling his arm, "Yes, let's go."

Liv and Fitz sat at a local pub. They had just ordered their food and drinks. Every time Liv looked at Fitz, she would start laughing.

"Just admit that you hated it."

Fitz rolled his eyes, "Fine! I will admit it. I don't know what the hell that was but it was not art. Seriously four people in a sheet while a narrator talks about knowledge and giving birth. Then it got gross when they threw blood on the sheet as it split open. I almost lost my appetite."

Liv laughed and laid her head on his shoulder, "That's the thing about art. It's all about interpretation."

"Well my interpretation is it was fucking stupid."

Liv laughed harder and kissed his cheek, "Thank you baby. I have an amazing time with you today."

He kissed her forehead, "I am glad. It's nice to do something with just the two of us."

"We do something together all the time."

Fitz kind of groaned, "Yeah but before now, you were pregnant. I felt like the kids were always there in a sense. I realized earlier this week that I never got the chance to date you. We went from friends to marriage then parents. We skipped the dating and getting to know you phase. I like dating my wife."

She played with his wedding ring, "I like dating you. But I feel like what we went through was exactly what we needed. We probably would have gone back and forth until one of us ended up hurt or we hated each other. Remember how you didn't speak to me for a month after the first time we had sex. If I hadn't ended up pregnant, you probably would have started dating someone and I would have been hurt because I was secretly in love with you then I would have stopped coming around. Then I would have been alone again. Our lives would have been a mess. God gave us a nice kick in the ass and that was what we needed."

He put his arm around her, "I am sorry for being angry with you."

She shook her head, "You had every right to be angry. You didn't know about Derek. Then I said sleeping with you was a mistake. If the situation was reversed, I would have been angry too. But it all work out."

Fitz had a huge smile, "Yeah it did. I got a beautiful wife with two amazing children. Plus, my mom is here and I don't have to worry about her being at home alone anymore. I have everything I need and more."

She kissed his lips, "I couldn't agree more."

The waiter brought their food and they finished eating while enjoying each other's company.

After dinner, they went home. Kat was straightening up the kitchen when they walked in, "Hey, did you enjoy your evening out?"

Liv gave her a hug and kissed her cheek, "I had a wonderful time. My husband took me to the museum and dinner."

Kat's eyebrows shot up at Fitz, "Museum? I've never known you to go to a museum."

Fitz kissed his mom on the cheek, "Since I met Liv, I have been to several of them. Thank you very much. To be honest, I kind of like it."

Kat sat down at the kitchen table, "Really?"

Liv smiled brightly, "This one even had performance art."

Kat asked Fitz, "How was it?"

Fitz frowned, "It sucked ass big time."

Liv hit him on the arm, "That is a terrible thing to say. Just say it wasn't to your liking."

Fitz rolled his eyes and responded, "Whatever. It wasn't to my liking. Where are the kids?"

As if on cue, someone started crying. Fitz took off for the nursery .

Kat looked at Liv, "Honestly, how was it?"

Liv sat down at the table, "It sucked ass."

Kat burst out laughing, "Oh my god."

Liv started whispering, "It was horrible. They threw pig's blood and everything."

Kat pointed towards the stairs, "He doesn't know that you hate it."

Liv shook her head, "No. I LOVED the museum. It was amazing and he worked hard at being understanding even though I know he hates that stuff. I didn't want him to feel bad because I hated the show too."

Kat got up and put on a kettle of water for late night tea, "Every year for our anniversary, Big Jerry and I would go to a New York Yankees baseball game. He would spend money on the most amazing seats. Sometimes we would take Fitz but it was really something for us." She sat back down at the table, "We did this for over 25 years. A month before he died, I finally told him that I hated baseball."

It was Liv's turn to laugh, "Wow. That is amazing."

"My mother told me that was the mark of true love. Suffering through something you hate to be with the one you love."

"What did Big Jerry hate?"

Kat smiled, "Antiquing. I would drag him to different markets around the state or when we travelled. He would smile and be polite but deep down I knew he hated."

"Sounds like my parents. I think Fitz is a closet nerd. He doesn't want anyone to know but me."

The tea kettle whistled. Kat got up, "Well you know I have to make fun of him now."

Liv stood up from the table, "I am headed to bed. I will see you in the morning."

Kat kissed her on the cheek. "Good night sweetie."

Liv went upstairs and found Fitz in the nursery rocking Faith. She whispered softly, "Hey, is she okay?"

He nodded and kissed Faith on the head, "Yeah, she just knew her da-da was home."

Liv playful rolled her eyes, "I am going to take a shower."

"Okay."

Liv took a nice long shower. She still had some extra curves that she would like to lose but she tried not to think about it too much. Fitz came into the room as she was coming out of the bathroom.

He started taking off his shirt, "Quad woke up time I put Faith down. I fed and changed him."

Liv smirked, "I guess he wanted some daddy time too."

He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Don't get jealous. I will give you some daddy time as soon as I get out of the shower."

She put her arms around his neck, "I am not jealous. I love that you are a devoted father. I was thinking about that in the shower. I got to take a long hot shower because I have you to pick up the slack with the kids. Just another reason why I love you so much."

He squeezed her tighter, "I can never thank you enough for those kids. They are my babies. I would move heaven and earth for the three of you."

She gave him a kiss, "Including suffering through the museum."

He put his mouth by her neck, "I enjoyed the museum. I like that we do atypical things." He kissed her neck, "I will be back out shortly."

Liv went on doing her nightly ritual. Since she had been cleared by the doctor two weeks ago, she and Fitz had sex twice. She would be the first to admit that they weren't the best experiences. She understood that it was satisfying a basic need for each other. The last time they had sex before then was about 3 months ago. They both were desperate but at the same time, they knew they were on a time constraint because the kids were not sleeping more than 30 minutes at a time.

She hoped tonight would be different. She decided to forgo any clothing or underwear and crawled into bed completely naked to wait for her husband. She grabbed her IPAD and decided to use this time to work on her music from earlier.

Fitz came out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and one in his hand drying off his hair.

He saw Liv was working on some music and he remembered her doing it earlier as well, "What are you working on? I thought you had all the music completed for the choir."

She put her IPAD on her nightstand, "I do. This is for something else. I was thinking about taking Rick up on his offer to do a show. He wanted me to do it New Years' Eve but I told him that was a no. I plan on being home with my husband and kids that night. So now we are looking into New Years' Day. He is talking with his promotion team and then he is going to get back with me."

Fitz looked at her through the mirror, "If everything is good, are you going to do it?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I think you and I will probably have to sit down and go over our options. I would like to use that money to send your mom and my aunts on a vacation. They have been a big help to us these last few months."

Fitz came and sat down on the bed, "We have enough saved to do that. Your job is already putting a strain on you. I don't want you to this concert if that is your reason for doing it."

Liv looked at him and smiled, "You're right. That shouldn't be my reason. I honestly think that I just feel so overjoyed and loved that I want to sing about it. It will be my show and my ideas that are on display. But more importantly, it will be my love for you that is on display."

Fitz took her hand, "Okay, I can deal with that. I can help you set up in any way you need me to. I will be there for you through it all. I can be your muse or stagehand or your bodyguard. Any way you need me."

She pulled him towards her, "I just need you there as my husband. All the other jobs are included."

He threw his towel off his body, "You are damn right. I am your everything."

She laid back on the bed, "Yes you are."

He climbed under the covers, "You are my everything too. I love the fact that you are mine and I am yours."

She pulled his mouth to hers. They shared a long lavish kiss. Their tongues explored each other's mouth. Fitz roamed his hands all over her naked body. He deepened the kiss as she moaned into his mouth.

He moved from her mouth to her jaw then her neck, "I know the last two times weren't that good but I will make it up to you this time. I just missed your body and I couldn't wait to have you again. But this time I want to reconnect with your mind and your soul."

She put her hands in his head pulling his mouth closer to her neck, "God, I love you baby."

He slowly moved down her body, "I love you too." He kissed her breast, "My wife!" He kissed her other breast, "My Queen!" He kissed in between her breast, "My best friend!" He moved down to her stomach. He kissed her stretch marks and scars, "The mother of my children!" He slowly made his way to her core. He put one leg over his shoulder and stretched the other one wide, "My everything!"

He attacked her clit with his tongue almost causing her to rocket off the bed. He tightened his grip on her hips holding her in place. Her hands were in his hair pushing his face deeper into her core. He obliged by giving her what she wanted. He made love to her with his tongue listening to the way she moaned and enjoyed it.

She pulled his hair, "FITZ! OH..My..God!" She came with such power that she almost suffocated him with her pussy.

He lifted his head with her essence all around his mouth. He winked at her when she looked down still breathing heavy.

He crawled up her body and lined his cock in her entrance, "I can't wait any longer."

He pushed into her and she tensed at the intrusion. He pushed all the way in until he was bottoming out in her pussy.

He groaned, "Fuck, I missed this."

He gave her time to adjust. She wrapped her legs around him and nodded, "Come on baby. Give it to me."

He started moving slowly, "Yeah, baby."

He was determined to go slow this time. The last times were hurried. This was about reconnecting. That was the purpose of the entire day. He wanted to reconnect with her on a deeper level. This was all a part of dating his wife.

She clawed at his back pulling into her, "Oh God Baby!"

He lifted one leg, "I love you baby!"

His words and his movements gave her a heighten sense of pleasure.

He put his face by her ear as he kept drilling his cock into her over and over, "I am never leaving you. We will always be together. You will never be alone or friendless again."

He spoke to her insecurities. He knew what she needed to hear. A tear fell from her eyes as her body shook from her orgasms. He picked up speed when her core squeezed his cock.

He growled, "Fuck, baby. This pussy loves when I fuck it."

She pulled his head towards her face. She looked him in the eyes, "Fuck me baby."

He gritted his teeth as he went deeper and harder, "Yeah baby."

She pulled him into a kiss as he fucked her harder and harder. She tasted herself on his tongue.

She moaned into his mouth as he growled, "Mine" over and over.

He rubbed her clit at the onset of her orgasm, "Come with me, Livvie!"

She came pulling him with her. He spilled his seed in her. They loved not having to worry about getting pregnant again because Liv had her IUD put back in. They wanted to enjoy the twins before having another baby.

Fitz laid his body on top of hers allowing her to hold him a little longer. He worked to keep most of his weight on her side. She ran her hands through his hair and down his back. This was something else he missed when she was pregnant. This was the intimacy they needed. They felt more connected than they have in a long time.

Fitz finally pulled out of her and cleaned both of them up before returning to bed. He pulled her to his chest. They wrapped their arms around each other and drifted off to sleep.
