Two months had passed since the girls returned home, and their
parents were beginning to see a little into their personalities. Melinda
was quieter than her twin, who seemed to always have the need to be making
noises. Also, they noticed that she was more alert than her sister at
times. They were almost exactly the same in looks, except that Evelina's
hair was a bit lighter than Melinda's.
Taylor finished feeding Melinda and lay her down in her crib. She walked over to Evelina's and peered inside. She was covered in a yellow blanket and had her fist stuck in her mouth. She reached down and pushed back the dark hair. A set of arms encircled her waist and she leaned back into Eric's arms.
"You're late," she said softly. Eric snorted softly.
"I told you- I was on assignment." Taylor turned and hugged him.
"I'm just glad you made it back at all," she said as they were walking out to their room.
"Have they been THAT bad?" he asked. Taylor fell onto her bed and glanced at the clock.
"Eric, it's 2am and Lindy JUST settled down." Eric got into his PJ pants and took his shirt off. "Evie's actually been quiet."
"That's a first. Shame I missed that," he said. Taylor was wearing her Air Force sweatpants and a yellow tank top. Eric looked down at his wife- her eyes were closed, she was wearing sweats, her hair was tussled- she was gorgeous.
Since having the twins, Taylor had lost nearly all the weigh she had put on, thanks to a vigorous exercise schedule that she accommodated so that she could still take care of the girls. Eric turned the light off and settled down next to her.
Taylor felt him next to her and rolled into his arms. Her eyes almost instantly fell shut. Eric felt her steady breathing on his chest and smiled as he kissed her temple. He knew she hadn't slept well. He would tend to the girls during the night, but during the day, Taylor had her hands full.
As if on cue, he heard a soft cry coming from across the hall. Taylor heard the cry, and immediately went on instinct. She started to get up, but Eric held her down gently. He kissed her softly on thee lips and covered her up. She smiled and fell back to sleep.
He got out of bed and went into the girls' room where he found Evelina crying. She stopped the instant she saw Eric looking down at her. "Evie," he said as his hand touched the fat little cheek. She let out small spit bubbles and he grinned at her. Taylor was right- he was wrapped around her little finger already. "Mama and papa need their sleep tonight. Papa's had a really busy day taking care of bad guys with Uncle Wes, and mama's been taking care of you." Another cry was coming from the other crib. He looked at Evelina and saw that her eyes were closed, and went to Melinda.
"I thought you were supposed to be the quiet one," he said softly to her. The child in front of him quieted down, but was still fussy. He picked her up and held her to his chest. "Lindy, I'm going to give you the same speech I gave your sister," he began, but he stopped when he felt a tiny hand reach up to his face. She touched his chin and he thought he saw her smile.
The next thing he knew, she was sleeping soundly again. Smiling, he placed her back down and covered her with a white blanket. He walked to the doorway and turned back. "Goodnight ladies," he said as he closed the door.
When he returned to his room, Taylor was rolled over on her side under the covers. He climbed into bed with her and found a pleasant surprise- she wasn't wearing anything. His arms wrapped around her warm body and he held her close to his chest.
"I thought you told me I couldn't do this to you anymore?" he said as he ran his hands down her body until he reached her thighs. Taylor turned and kissed him deeply.
"I changed my mind," she said as her hands made their way down to his pants. He helped her, and removed them.
"Just like a woman- always changing her mind," he said. Taylor reached down and took a hold of him. Eric's breath caught in his throat.
"I'd get used to that- you're living with three of them." Eric kissed her passionately and felt his need for her rise as she continued to lightly run her fingers along him.
"Come to think of it, the girls were real fussy until I came in," he said as he held her to him.
"They were just waiting for their papa to put them to bed...so was I," she said grinning wickedly. Eric kissed her and without warning plunged himself into her. Her breath left her as he pounded into her. They had both gone without each other now for nearly six months, what with Taylor being VERY pregnant and then recovering from the pregnancy. Both had agreed that they weren't ready for more kids just yet, so they thought to wait- but they couldn't take it anymore.
It was fast, hard, and brought more pleasure than they thought it would. They both cried out into each other's mouths as they continued their passionate kisses. Eric fell onto her and rolled to his side. Taylor clung to him tightly and felt his chest heaving for air as hers was as well.
"I love you," he said. "I don't tell you that enough." Taylor looked at him.
"Yes you do...I love you," she said. "I have proof of that in the next room twice over."
Eric kissed her shoulder and felt the tight muscle where scar tissue had gathered as a result from when she ejected from her plane. She felt him pause when he reached that sensitive spot on her shoulder.
"I'm so glad you're safe," he said. Taylor knew what he meant. Often he would wake up in the middle of the night after seeing Taylor's plane go down in a fiery mass. Tori had told her that she had had similar dreams as well. This scared Taylor more than anything. Mo matter how hard she tried to convince them to was just a dream, they still kept a close eye on her- just to be safe.
"Eric, I'm fine. I've never been better or more safe than I am right now...here with you." He smiled and kissed her shoulder again.
"I know you miss it...flying," he said. Taylor held him close.
"I'm still flying...just in a different way...with you and our girls."
Eric looked at her lovingly and gently caressed her face with the back of his hand and kissed her passionately as he laid down on his back. Taylor placed one arm around him and rested her head on his chest. He kissed the crown of her head and smiled. "My yellow eagle," he whispered as he fell asleep. Taylor felt her eyelids beginning to close and kissed his chest as she fell asleep in his arms.

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing would makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you found that special thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You find it in the works of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
So impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete
Well for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
THE END

AN: Tori and Blake's story will be coming soon! The first year of marriage is a trying one. Can they make it through? Could there be the pitter-patter of little feet in Blue Bay Harbor? We'll have to wait and see!
