Disclaimer: I don't own a thing except the kids and Amy. A/N: Okay so yes I know this is an M/L story but you gotta be patient with me. HAHAHAHA... dinky blu you rock! Hahaha.
*** Amy's Place***
"Hey!" Alec greeted Amy as they entered the house.
"Hey." She grabbed the carrier from Alec and looked down at the baby. "OH! How's the little guy doing?" This elicited a round of kicks from the baby. "I got to go do some things, will you be willing to watch him tonight for a while?" Alec asked. "Sure" Amy sat on the couch and took the baby out of his carrier. She lightly rocked him to sleep. The baby was soon fast asleep and she handed the baby back to Alec. "How are you?" Amy asked. "I'm okay...I guess...I'm just a little..." Alec trailed off. "Stressed." Amy finished. "Yup." "Well, you should take some time off." she said as she got up.
Amy wasn't wearing anything really nice looking. She wore some gray sweats and a blue shirt. She had the waistband to the sweats rolled up twice to keep them from falling. Alec watched her move, unable to take his eyes off her.
"Yea. Hey maybe you and I could go to crash next weekend." Alec smiled mercilessly as he flashed his million-dollar smile.
"Maybe I'll take you up on that." Amy slowly made her way to the kitchen. "I have to make dinner for the twins." she said from inside the kitchen.
"Did I tell you that I had found a home for two of the three babies that were left with me?" she added. Alec carefully got up and put the baby on the couch, making sure he wouldn't fall. He then walked towards the kitchen stopping at a wall and looking at the pictures of Amy and the twins and of pictures that the twins had drawn. "No, I don't think you told me that." He said as he walked down the wall to look at more pictures.
Something pulled on his pants. He glanced down to see Stephanie glaring at him. "Hey!" Stephanie said. "Oh, hi there." Alec said as he bent down to be at eye level with her.
Once Alec had gotten to her level, the little girl threw punch and kicks at him. A few even made contact with his face and legs. Alec quickly grabbed her arms and picked her up. She struggled in his arms and began to scream. He placed his hand over her mouth and she began to bite and lick him. Alec cautiously made his way into the kitchen. Alec gave Amy a questionable look. "Oh she likes you." Amy said as she turned her attention to Alec and Stephanie. "MOMMY! I got him!" The little girl said exasperated. "Your right sweetie, but don't hit your...I mean don't hit him." Amy smiled taking the girl from Alec and placing her on the floor. Amy gave the girl a quick tap on the bottom. Stephanie scampered away into the living room.
"Did you want something to eat?" Amy looked up at him. Alec had leaned against the fridge and was watching her move thru the kitchen. "Or maybe something to drink?" Amy added. Amy moved quickly thru the kitchen stirring some pasta and soup.
"Oh...uh...no thanks, but I will take a 'yes'." Alec looked her over. "Excuse me?" Amy was quite confused. "You said maybe." Alec cleared his throat. "I want a yes from you." Alec added. He could see that Amy was really thinking this over. "Of course a, 'yes I would love to join you next weekend at crash,' would do justice."
Alec smiled. If he couldn't swoon her with his words he'd use his smile, which usually seemed to work.
"Well, I don't have a babysitter, but..." she trailed off. She was now cutting some carrots. "I know someone that would be willing to, if I asked them."
Amy began to cut the carrots faster. "So?" Alec was starting to shift his weight. He was getting nervous, he didn't know why but he was. "Well...sure...I guess." Amy really wanted to go, but was still a little unsure. "I still haven't heard a 'yes'" He smiled and gave a quick chuckle. She smiled up at him. "Yes, I'll go." "Great, I'll be back to pick up the kid in a little then."
He turned on his heels and walked towards the door. As he walked towards the door he passed Stephanie who was sitting in a corner playing with a doll. Alec ruffled her honey brown hair and walked on. She quickly stood putting both hands on her hips and scrunching up her face.
'Guess all Manticore girls are like that.' He thought chuckling to himself as he got in his car and drove away.
