Time setting: Post 4th Season
WARNING: If this DOES some how managed to get posted, this is actually my first fanfic written. As much as I enjoy reading all the other fanfics posted in various places, I wanted a chance to see how well one of mine would be received. Also, I have no Beta for this, so any goofs are my own.
Reviews: ALL will be appreciated. FLAMES will be doused immediately, but will also be useful for future postings. Thanks and happy reading (hopefully)!!!!!!
PLOT: I've read many a fanfic on various scenarios in the life of Lee and Amanda. This is just a little short story on Lee and Amanda's family.
Lee Stetson drove toward Arlington in his silver Corvette thankful the day was over. At least the work day was over. He had spent a stressful day at the Agency listening to a case going nowhere. First Francine had laid into him about not having his reports done, and then Billy grilled him about a contact who had given him zilch. Then his day got worse when Dr.Smyth arrived to pounce on him and give him one of his patented, sarcastic lectures about his lack of work getting done. He would be happy to get home and happily tune off his five senses and collapse.
Stepping out of his car at 4247 Maplewood Drive, he made his way to the back door, still out of habit more than anything. As he opened the door, his senses assaulted him. First, he could hear the sounds of Philip and Jamie playing one of the new video games he bought them. He could also hear the sounds of Dotty talking to someone on the phone. Then he could smell dinner. Amanda's delicious pot roast was cooking, along with what smelled like her famous chocolate chip cookies. He smiled as he walked further into the house.
He could hear upstairs Amanda bathing the twins, Matthew and Jennifer and listening to their squeals and laughter made him smile. He saw Dotty sitting in the living room with the boys and waved. She waved back motioning him to come and sit down. Philip and Jamie acknowledged him with quick "Hi's" before returning to their game. As he went towards the living room, Amanda came down the stairs with the twins. His eyes grew wider in anticipation. He never tired of looking at her. She crossed over to him and he could finally feel her lips on his, something he'd been waiting on all day. As they broke apart, Matthew and Jennifer each held up their arms for a hug. As he picked up his son, then his daughter, he smelled the fragrance of their baby shampoo and the faint scent of Amanda's perfume on them.
After setting the twins down, he reached for Amanda once more. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her again. She tasted sweet, of chocolate and sugar. He loved the taste of her. And he loved this family of his. This wonderful family that could make him forget his bad day. Maybe turning off his five senses wasn't such a good idea, he thought. Think of all the fun I'd miss.
The End
