For Kristina: Nothing More, Nothing less
Disclaimer: I do not own them!!
[A.N: The Dobson thing never happened, it was stupid and degrading to both the character of Alexis, and the actress Nancy Lee Grahn and not to mention her fans. This story is focused more on Skye and Ned than baby Kristina.]
Their kiss was interrupted by Edward yelling something about almost incest, he gave them a long lecture about how Skye was using him when in reality she was really beginning to feel something for Ned. Soon they both admitted that they were just using each other, but Ned was the one that said that they had pre-owned hearts. That what they were doing was for the sake of
Kristina.
And here they were kissing in the foyer, beginning again where Edward had
interrupted them. She was going to pull away, to tell him that she felt something more, that she wouldn't pursue this relationship if she knew that it was heading nowhere. Then he caught her by surprise, lifting her off her
feet and into his strong arms.
She was shocked, too shocked to say anything. For not wanting this relationship, he sure as hell was taking it to the next level. She swore that she wouldn't do this again, equaling sex with love just because she
felt something for him.
This wouldn't be like it was with Coleman. They shared sex with no strings.
She always knew in the back of her mind that their relationship wasn't going anywhere and at the time that was fine, but she kept on pursuing him, she couldn't blame it on alcohol because there were times when they were
together that she was stone cold sober.
Skye shut her thoughts off, she only wished she could shut her feelings
off. Ned was carrying her up the stairs.
Could she do this?
Could she let her feelings go?
Did she want to look back and wonder what if?
Did she want to be lonely?
Maybe waking up in the arms of a man would revitalize her. Ned opened the door to her bedroom, carried her over the threshold and closed it behind them with his foot. He walked over to her bed and tossed her onto it. Skye
laughed at Ned trying to be Casanova.
Ned climbed on the bed and crawled over to her, but when he looked down at a laughing Skye he seen more that her outer beauty and the loving side that
got more enjoyment out of playing with Kristina than downing a fifth of vodka these days. He felt something different, he didn't know what exactly,
but something was definitely different.
He discarded his thoughts and focused his attention back on the woman below him. He lowered himself to the bed so he was laying beside her. Skye was
confused by his actions, but when wasn't she?
He propped himself up up on his elbow, he brought his left hand up and
traced her lips with his fingertip, he brushed his knuckles across her cheek, her skin felt like velvet, so milky and flawless, his thumb brushed
over her bottom lip, he slowly brought his head down.
He placed his lips on hers, she parted her lips slightly, allowing Ned to slip his tongue into her mouth. His tongue was warm and plundered her mouth throughly, massaging against hers. The kiss was slow and gentle, but yet
passionate. A promise and a threat of things to come.
Skye wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down to her, she took control of their on going kiss, exploring his mouth inch by inch. He was mesmerized by her and her depths of passion. Neither one of them took the
initiative to take things any further than kissing.
The next morning the sunlight coming through the window awoke Skye, her eye lids fluttered against it. Then she noticed that she wasn't alone. There
was a warm body next to hers, she turned her head slightly to see Ned's sleeping face. Although nothing happened between them last night, well not
nothing, but not sex, she felt somewhat closer to him. She smiled to herself and closed her eyes drifting back off to sleep in the security and
comfort of his arms.
Sometime after Skye fell back asleep Ned awoke to check on Kristina, he
gently got up off the bed, careful not to wake Skye. It had been a long
time since he had woke up with a beautiful woman beside him. He quietly made his way across the room and out the bedroom door and into the hallway,
closing the door behind him, as he turned to walk down the hallway he
bumped into none other than Alan.
"What are you doing in Skye's room? Is something wrong?" Alan asked
concerned.
Ned didn't know what to tell Alan, he didn't even give the family a
thought, "No, everything's fine, Skye's still sleeping."
Alan nodded and observed Ned, "You look like you slept in your clothes."
"I did" Ned admitted.
"I still don't understand why your coming out of my daughter's room at
seven thirty in the morning."
"Well, I'm going to check on Kristina." Ned said trying to avoid the
awkward situation. After all he and Skye never discussed telling the
family. They didn't even know where this 'thing' they had was going."
"That's not what I asked" Alan stated simply.
"Well" Ned began, "I was so tired last night that I feel asleep in my clothes, I was going to check on Kristina and then remembered that I was
going to ask Skye if she'd want to join us today in the park, but she's
still asleep so I'll talk to her about it later."
"Oh" Alan nodded, "Makes sense."
"Why, what did you think?" Ned asked curiously.
"I thought that you had stayed the night in there."
"Of course not" He lied.
Ned let out a sigh of relief as he walked past Alan, this was something
that he and Skye were going to have to discuss, rather they took their
relationship any farther or not. He opened the door of the nursery and
slowly crept inside, he peered over the crib at a sleeping Kristina. He could never lose that little girl, but if her did would he lose Skye too?
And what about Alexis? For someone who loved her daughter so much she wasn't being rational about her decisions, the Alexis he used to know would have followed the law, upheld it. It had been six months, she could have
already had Kristina back. She had no one to blame but herself. Cameron
proved that he won't help her, she's truly on her own.
Ned pulled the blanket over Kristina and quietly exited the nursery. Skye awoke for the second time alone. She was a little dazed wondering if she had imagined waking up in Ned's arms. She once again dismissed her thoughts
as she headed for the bathroom.
An half an hour later she headed down the stairs and into the dining room for breakfast. When she entered she took her usual seat across from Monica, who happened to be the only one there at the moment. Skye smiled at Monica,
not really knowing what to say. They didn't get along, but they didn't
fight these days either.
"Where is everyone?" Skye asked breaking the silence.
"They'll be down, you're just a little early."
"Imagine that"
Skye noticed Monica smiling, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No", Monica said continuing to smile, "It's just that you and Ned have
been spending a lot of time together lately and....."
"Ned's my cousin." Skye interrupted.
"I know, but really he's not."
"Ned and I have just found out that we have a lot in common."
"Kristina?" Monica questioned.
"Yes, among other things."
Monica's eyes became fixed on something behind her, but Skye didn't know what. Suddenly she became very uncomfortable. Two Strong male hands covered her shoulders, slightly startling her. Before she could say anything, She heard a voice, "Good morning, sweetheart." Alan said as he placed a kiss on
the top of her head.
Skye let out a breath of relief, "Good morning, Daddy." God was she
relieved.
Alan walked around the table and sat down beside his wife, "I'm taking the
morning off."
"I thought you had a board meeting?" Monica asked.
"It can wait" Alan said sternly.
Monica nodded, "What's so important?"
"I'm meeting someone about a family vacation in the Caribbean." Alan
responded.
Monica was surprised, "Were going on vacation?."
"Yes, the whole family." Alan stated, "What do you think?"
"I think it's a great idea." Monica agreed.
"What do you think Skye?"
"Sounds great, but I won't be joining you."
"Why not?" He questioned.
"Because I have some things that I need to take care of."
"At least think about it."
"Okay" Skye agreed.
Three weeks later Skye stood at the front door wishing everyone a good trip. As they pulled out of the driveway she shut the door behind them. As she turned around she faced Ned, "Well, are you heading for the office?"
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Ned questioned.
"What would make you think that?"
"Well, it's just that you've been avoiding me lately."
"I just thought I'd give you some space."
"I think that we've both been avoiding each other, afraid of what might
happen." Ned said as he took a step closer to her.
"Or what may not happen." Skye whispered as she moved past him.
Ned turned around, "Skye, why are you doing this?"
Skye stood with her back to him, "Doing what?"
"Pretend that there's nothing going on between us."
"I didn't know that there was something to pretend about."
Ned turned Skye around to face him, holding her arms tightly, "You can't
deny that there's not something here."
