"Hon, have you seen Tyler and Marco around?" Tony Almeida asked his wife of
8 years, Michelle as he walked in the kitchen.
"Yeah. Outside in the backyard playing with Erin and Noelle. Why?" Michelle asked back, cleaning up the kitchen counter.
"No reason. I just got worried, that's all."
"You know, you worry too much, honey."
Tony gave his wife a soft kiss, but the two were interrupted by three separate yells.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Their 4 –year old twin boys, Tyler and Marco ran into the kitchen where their parents were, and were followed by their 3 –year old sister Erin, with their babysitter Noelle hot on their heels.
Tony picked up both Tyler and Marco, while Michelle picked up Erin. "You kids have fun?" their father asked.
"Yeah! Loads! Noelle, uh, 'teached' us how ta play in the sand!" Marco reported.
"That's great, sweetie. What about you two? You have fun too?" Michelle asked, smiling.
Erin energetically bobbed her head, her dark curls bouncing as she sipped her orange juice from her yellow sippy cup.
"Yup! Fun! I wanna go again, can I, please mom?" Tyler pleaded.
"Well, sweetie, Noelle has to go home now, don't you Noelle? She can come back tomorrow if it's okay with her..."
"Its fine with me, Michelle. I had fun too." Noelle replied, causing cheers from the three kids.
"Great. Well, we'll see you tomorrow, then?" Tony asked her.
"Yeah. Bye guys. Bye kids."
"BYE NOELLE!!" the three kids yelled in unison.
"Okay, kiddos. Time to take a bath. How's that? You kids look like you took a bath in mud." Tony told them, laughing.
Three slumped, sad faces looked up at him, then at Michelle, who was trying not to laugh.
The two parents gave their kids showers and changed their clothes, with Tony handling Erin and Michelle, the two boys. As soon as Tony finished, he went to the den and came across a photo album. He opened it and a smile crossed his handsome features. About two minutes later, Michelle walked in and sat down next to her husband, leaning her head on his shoulders.
"Watcha lookin at, hon? Oh... never mind. I remember this. This was on our..."
"Our first date, sweetheart." Tony finished for her, giving her a kiss on her temple.
====================================== Flashback ======================================
At 3.30 in the afternoon a few days after CTU saved the United States from a nuclear explosion, Michelle Dessler's phone rang.
Without checking who it was, she answered. "Dessler."
"You know, we're not at CTU anymore. You don't have to answer with your last name." came the sarcastic tone.
"Tony... I, uh... Hey." Michelle replied nervously.
"Hey Michelle. How are ya?" Tony asked gently, smiling at her hesitation.
"I'm good. You?"
"Same. Hey, listen... I just wanted to ask if you were free tonight?"
"Uh, yeah. I am. Why?" Michelle asked, anxiously waiting what would come next.
"Well, I told you I'd take you out to dinner and a movie, didn't I?"
"Oh, uh, yeah. Sure. That'd be great."
"Great. Pick you up at 7? You still live downtown, right?" Tony asked, heaving a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, I do..."
"Okay. Great. Well, see ya later, Michelle."
"You too, Tony."
At 7.00 on the dot, Michelle's doorbell rang. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and saw Tony, casually dressed in a light blue button-down shirt and black pants.
"Hey Tony."
"Hey Michelle. Uh, these are for you." Tony told her, just as nervously as she was, as he gave her a bouquet of flowers.
"Wow. They're beautiful. Thanks, Tony."
"Pleasure. So, shall we?"
"One sec. I just need to put these in some water. Please come in." Michelle told him, opening the door wider for him to enter.
Tony walked inside her clean apartment and marveled at the neatness and elegance of the place. It had a state-of-the-art motif, the place beautifully decorated with various artistic pieces. A few minutes later, Michelle came out.
"All set?" Tony asked, his hands in his pockets, fumbling nervously.
"Yeah. All set."
Tony held out his arm to Michelle as the two of them walked towards his car.
Part 2 of the date will come soon. I'm working on two fics right now. Hahah. This fic is mainly a bunch of flashbacks. You know, first date, the next day back at CTU, proposal, wedding, etc.
Comment please! :D
