Reunion
"Don't go to work." Dominic moaned childishly, watching his wife wandering around their bedroom early the next morning, clipping her bra on at the back as she looked for her scrubs.
"Sorry, babe. I kinda have to." She said, "Where the hell did I put my uniform?" She questioned, looking in her dresser, "Did you hide it?" She looked over her shoulder at him as he chuckled.
"No." He laughed, sitting up on the edge of the bed and rubbing his eyes tiredly as she looked over.
"What you got planned with the kids today?" Thea asked him, eventually finding her scrubs and putting the pants on.
"Sofia has gymnastics in the afternoon. Gonna take James to see the new Lego movie whilst she's there. Then I'll take them for dinner." He nodded as Thea smiled.
"Such a good daddy." She smiled proudly, putting her top-half on and looking over at him eagerly as she walked over, crouching down in front of him as he watched her with a small smile.
"What are you doing?" He asked, small smile turning into a smirk as he watched her pull his boxer shorts down a little.
She wrapped her hand around him, stroking him up and down before using her mouth on him as Dominic moaned, placing his hand on her head as it moved up and down, "Fuck." He moaned, watching as she pushed her uniform down along with her bra.
"I hate you for this." She told him fondly between using her mouth and hand on him as he laughed a little.
"Doesn't look like you hate me." Dominic smirked cockily, placing his hand back on her head as it moved up and down.
"I just showered." She said, standing up and pushing her pants down.
"You can shower again." Dominic reminded her as she pushed him back onto the mattress, climbing over him as he smiled, feeling her lips against his as she pushed her panties to the side and guided his length up inside of her.
"Fuck." Thea moaned, moving her hips on him wildly, grabbing his chin and kissing him passionately as he grabbed at her ass.
They were quiet enough to suddenly hear a small voice on the other side of their locked room door.
"Mommy." James knocked at the door as Thea paused, placing her hand over Dominic's face and turning her head around, pausing all movement, "Mommy." James said again as Thea turned back to Dominic.
"What's wrong?" Thea called calmly.
"I'm awake." James let her know as Thea closed her eyes and nodded. Children.
"Ok, why don't you go pick out your cereal?" Thea called back.
"Ok." James said over the other side of the door, heading away downstairs.
Thea sighed to herself, suddenly feeling Dominic thrust up inside her slowly, "What are you doing?" She shook her head, immediately getting off from him.
"Come on, he's away downstairs." Dominic nodded.
"No way." Thea scoffed, "This one is all you, buddy." She told him, wandering back into their bathroom to quickly get ready for work, for real this time as Dominic soon followed, turning the shower on as she smirked cheekily, "You gonna jerk off in there?" She nodded.
"Yeah, don't you feel bad for me?" He frowned as she shook her head with a smile.
"Can I watch?" She asked.
"You're filth." Dominic nodded as she smiled, "We could have finished in there."
"Dominic." Thea said, "James is awake and downstairs. No way." She said.
"Yeah, he's downstairs. We're up here." He said.
"No, it feels wrong." Thea shook her head, "I'll press my tits against the glass of the shower but that is all you're getting." She said.
"You're ridiculous." He laughed, "But yeah, do that." He nodded seriously as she chuckled.
"Hello, sister." Cassie nodded, approaching the hospital where her sister worked, spotting her outside having a cigarette, "I like the message your sending." She nodded.
"You'd do it too if you worked twelve hours." Thea nodded.
"I do work twelve hours." Cassie assured her.
"What are you doing here?" Thea asked.
"I'm here to speak to a patient." Cassie said, "Stabbed at a barfight last weekend." She nodded.
"Ouch." Thea nodded, "You heard from mom and dad?" She asked.
"No, but I've not been messaging them or anything. They needed this break." She said as Thea nodded in agreement.
"They need more than a weekend break." Thea scoffed as Cassie nodded. They were all in agreement of that.
"They're back tonight, unless they've decided to run away and leave us forever." She teased as Thea smiled, "When you finish tonight?"
"Eight." Thea said, "Perfect timing to come home and hear the sweet sound of silence." She smiled as Cassie chuckled.
"It's hard to remember you love your kids sometimes." Cassie chuckled.
"Hey, I love my babies but…" She put her cigarette out, "Sometimes I just feel like I can't be me. Me and Dominic haven't had proper sex in like… a month." She said.
"Some couples with kids don't have sex at all. You're doing ok." Cassie rolled her eyes, "Plus, what the hell is proper sex?"
"Oh, when you get further than five minutes with no interruptions." Thea said as Cassie chuckled.
"Maybe you need the weekend getaway." Cassie nodded.
"I'm scared our sex life goes down the drain." Thea said, "There's just never time. Between his shifts and my shifts, the kids always interrupting telling me that they've wrote their letter to Santa when we're in frickin March, I mean come on!" Thea yelled as Cassie nodded slowly.
"You'll be fine." Cassie rolled her eyes, "First world problems, babe." She reminded her sister as Thea nodded.
"Yeah, I know." Thea nodded as Cassie looked at her.
"Hey, why don't… tomorrow night I take the kids out and they can stay the night? I'll take them for pizza." Cassie shrugged as Thea looked at her.
"You don't have to do that." Thea scoffed.
"I know but… I love my niece and nephew. And I don't wanna be the aunt who is always too busy to hang out with them." She shrugged as Thea smiled.
"They don't think that of you." Thea assured her, "But I bet they'd be stoked to hang out with you." She smiled.
"Yeah yeah, you just want laid." Cassie shook her head.
"Easy for you to say ms swipe left, swipe right." Thea teased her.
"Shut up." Cassie rolled her eyes, "I have work to do." She announced.
"I do too." Thea nodded, walking back into the hospital with her.
"You don't have to go, you know." AJ said, pulling up outside their house after getting back from their hotel getaway. It had been relaxing and peaceful to spend the weekend just purely with each other. To relax with each other with no distractions.
"I know, but… I think I want to." Punk turned to her, "I think I avoided it because it reminded me so much of… that time, and that's not fair to him. He was a good friend to me." He shook his head as AJ smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, he was nice to me." AJ assured him, "But… don't put yourself under any pressure."
"I'm not." Punk nodded, "I want to do this." He said as she smiled and nodded, leaning over and kissing him sweetly, stroking the back of his hair at the back of his head before pulling back.
"Next time, we go for a week." She smiled as he laughed softly and nodded.
"Two." He challenged as she smiled, pecking his lips again before opening up the door at her side, "Don't bother about the bags, I'll get them when I come back." He told her as she nodded.
"Ok." She smiled, getting out of the car and watching as he drove off.
She never needed a weekend getaway to connect with her husband, there was never a level she needed to reach with him. They'd been at that level since they were sixteen together. But in such a relaxing space, on their own with no distractions, she could see her husband opening up more and that was all she wanted for him.
Punk drove off after leaving AJ to get home, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove to his destination, the one AJ had told him.
He'd avoided this for so long, wrongly so, due to his own insecurities and fears of memories and things he'd rather forget flooding back to him. But, after the past week, those memories had come flooding back to him, and he was learning to cope with them. To understand them and take it easy on himself. Not without the love and support from his amazing wife and children.
He parked up at the address AJ had given him, stepping out of the car and looking at the house in front of him, folding his arms as he leaned against the car. He hadn't seen this man since he was released from prison.
He walked up the few steps, standing in front of the door and ringing the door bell, taking a deep breath as he watched a young woman, perhaps the age of Thea or older answer the door.
"Hi, can I help you?" She asked politely as Punk looked across at her.
"Shauna?" Punk took a guess as the woman looked at him, wondering how this man knew her.
"Who's asking?" She raised a brow.
"I'm Phil Brooks." Punk nodded, "I was cell mates with your dad, some many years ago." He laughed nervously as Shauna looked at him.
"Daddy!" Shauna called, "You got a friend here to see you." She smiled, wandering away out of sight as Punk stood nervously, suddenly watching as Tom appeared into the doorway. It was madness to see him again, outside of the prison world, outside of that stressful and awful time in his life.
"B Boy Brooks." Tom smiled in awe, folding his arms as Punk looked across at him.
"Hey, man." Punk nodded, taking a deep breath as Tom smiled.
"How you doing, kid?" Tom nodded.
"I'm doing ok." Punk said, "So much for you thinking your kids would never talk to you again." He smiled.
"I did some pleading." Tom smiled, looking across at him as Punk looked back, swaying back and forth on his heels, "Come here, man!" Tom chuckled happily, grabbing Punk's hand and pulling him forward as Punk smiled happily, wrapping his arms around him as Tom squeezed him tightly.
