"Finally!" Catherine sighed as she flopped onto the bed next to Gil. "I thought he'd never go to sleep."
Gil took off his glasses, set them on the bedside table and turned to his side, facing her. "He sure was fussy tonight. He didn't want me at all, he just screamed louder. Sorry to get you out of the tub." He ran his hand over her stomach, sliding under the hem of her tank top, caressing bare skin.
"Its ok. I guess he just wanted Mommy." She laid her hand over his. "Lindsey is asleep, so is Drew. It's been a long time, Gil." She looked into his eyes, so blue, the exact shape and shade as his son's.
"I know. I've been waiting for you to be ready. I didn't want to push you and it has been so hectic lately."
"I know," she whispered, looking away from him. "I haven't felt very sexy or appealing. I'm not back in shape yet."
"You are incredibly sexy and appealing. You always have been," Gil kissed her neck, his lips gentle and soft. "You always will be. Look at me." Gil turned her face to his. "I don't care what size jeans you wear or what the scale says. That's not what I love about you."
Catherine's eyes misted. "I love you so much, Gil." She kissed him softly, almost shyly, her hands caressing his face. "I'm ready now."
"Good, because I want Mommy too." He grinned at her and continued his ministrations to her neck.
Catherine sighed with pleasure as he moved his mouth to her ear. She slid her hands down his back and grasped the bottom of his shirt. Just as she started to pull it off, Drew's crying voice came over the baby monitor next to them.
Gil groaned into her neck. "I see I'm going to have to teach him about interrupting," Gil muttered.
"Just ignore him. Maybe he'll go back to sleep." Catherine wrapped one arm around his neck and pulled him to her. "Kiss me."
Gil complied and they kissed, long and slow, their tongues mating, rubbing sensually. "Hey, he stopped," Gil whispered a few moments later.
Catherine smiled at him and pulled his shirt up and over his head. She ran her hands over his bare chest. "I was hoping he would." She kissed his neck, moving up to his mouth. She felt him harden and she undulated her hips against him. "God, I want you. So much." She pressed her lips to the corner of his mouth, her tongue flicking against his bottom lip. She stopped suddenly, thinking she heard knocking.
The knocking grew louder. "Mom?" Lindsey's voice was muffled through the door.
Gil rolled off of Catherine and threw one arm over his eyes. "If it's not one, it's the other."
Catherine smiled at him and pushed herself off of the bed. Sighing, she opened the door to Lindsey. "What is it, Honey?"
"My head hurts. Can I have some Tylenol?" Lindsey's eyes were full of tears, indicating that she was in serious pain. She didn't cry easily or often.
Catherine nodded and walked into the bathroom to get a pain reliever.
"You okay, Linds?" Gil's voice was gentle. "Come here." He patted the bed.
Lindsey padded over to the bed and climbed on. Wiping at the tears on her cheeks she shook her head, slightly, not wanting a fresh wave of pain to hit. "My head hurts, bad."
Gil nodded. "I get those too. Here, this sometimes works for me." He took her hand in his and applied gentle, but firm pressure to the skin between her thumb and forefinger.
Catherine returned with a pill and a glass of water, which Lindsey quickly swallowed. She closed her eyes and leaned against her mother as she stroked her hair. A few minutes later she opened her eyes and sat up.
"Feel better?" Gil asked.
"Yeah. Thanks. I'm going to bed now." Catherine followed her to her room and tucked her in. "I'm so glad you married him, Mom," Lindsey said before closing her eyes.
"Me too, Baby Girl. Me too." Catherine pressed a kiss to her daughter's forehead and left the bedroom.
"Okay," she said as she walked into their bedroom, closing and locking the door behind her. "Are we gonna try this again?"
"Do you want to?"
"Hell yes," Catherine said as she climbed onto the bed. "Third time's a charm. Where was I? Oh yeah, right here." She leaned forward and met his mouth with hers, running her tongue across his lip, then delving inside. She felt his hands slide over her hips and under her shirt, slowly making their way to her breasts. She arched her back, pressing herself into his hands. "I've missed this," she whispered against his mouth. "I've missed you."
The indignant wailing coming from the baby monitor stopped whatever reply Gil was about to make. Catherine flopped onto her back and pressed a hand to her forehead, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes.
"Strike three and you're out. I'll get him." Gil kissed her and went into Andrew's room.
"Hey, Buddy." Gil lifted him out of his crib and held him close, swaying gently. "Your mom and I were busy. What's wrong? Did you lose your pacifier?" He fished in the crib until he found it. "Here you go," he crooned, popping the pacifier into Drew's wailing mouth, wiggling it gently until he felt Drew close his mouth around it and start sucking.
Catherine listened to the one-sided conversation and smiled despite the tears and frustration. So sex might have to wait a bit. She had her husband, her daughter and her son. She was happy and content.
"Let's go see Mommy. I bet she misses you." A few seconds later, Gil appeared in the doorway. "I think he just needs us tonight," he said as he walked over to the bed. He laid the baby on the bed next to Catherine and gently slid in on next to them.
Catherine smiled gently. "I think you're right," she said softly, caressing her husband's cheek. "Maybe we needed him too." She pulled Drew close to her and laid her head on one folded arm. "Tomorrow?"
"Most definitely." Gil leaned over and kissed her, then his son and lay down.
Catherine closed her eyes and smiled. Like her husband and her baby son, the best things came to those who waited.
