Okay, this little ficlet oughta ride you guys over until I get my next requested story up. I'm working on two at the same time right now.
Anyway, on with the show!

Now that they were adults, especially with positions on the police force, and still secretly helping the Kids Next Door, peaceful nights at home were more rare.
Fortunately for Nigel, his partner/beautiful wife could enjoy these moments with him when they weren't fighting crime side-by-side.
They both had the night off and decided to relax together. While they were watching a movie, he found himself falling in love with her all over again.
How could he not just adore the serene look on her face, or the low humming noise she made as she slept? How could he not just beam at how adorable she seemed with her head resting in his lap?
How could this not be a perfect moment?
As the credits began to roll, he felt his cellphone buzz in his pocket.
He answered as quietly as he could, "Hello?"
"Hi. Uh, why are you whispering?"
"Oh, no reason. So, what's up, Hoagie?"
"Just wanted to let you know there was an epic brawl downtown between the KND and Stickybeard's crew, left a pretty big mess."
"Oh boy, do you need any help?"
"We've got it covered. I just wanted to make sure you were notified."
Nigel breathed a sigh of relief after his friend hung up.
Race stirred a little, "What's wrong?"
Nigel smiled at her and ran a gentle finger down her nose, "Nothing's wrong. Everything's alright. Go back to sleep, my love."
Rachel sighed and snuggled into her husband's lap more as she drifted back into a peaceful sleep.
Nigel grinned, turning off the T.V. and enjoyed the rest of their night together in the darkness.
...
If you know what's good for you, don't ruin the warm fluffiness with any flames.
Until next time!
