Chapter 3
After school
(NC17 rating)
"Where are you going?" Jez asks walking with Kieran out to the front of the school
"Doctor's appointment" she sighs unhappily
"For the baby?" Lise asks
"Yep" she nods as she leans against the cement wall waiting for Dominick to pull up. "I was too stunned for her to do a full check up last week. So I made an appointment for today"
"How did you get him to go with you?" asks Jez
"He asked." Kieran shrugs "I want him there"
"Hey Addington what are you doing here?" demands a snobby voice
Kieran rolls her eyes at her friends turning she finds a blonde haired girl wearing a short red dress with small blue stitched flowers on then thin spaghetti straps then across the top of the bodice and at the hem. "Rachel. I go to school here remember?"
"Oh yeah your the bathroom wall mentions" Rachel snickers
"Rachel" another girl calls
"What?" Rachel demands
"Check out the hottie over there" the girl nods
Kieran follows her gesture smiling faintly as she sees her lover leaning against his car waiting for her.
"Girls watch and learn" Rachel says with a smirk
"Uh Rachel he's not interested in you" Kieran remarks trying to cover up a laugh
"All guys are interested in me" Rachel tosses her hair over her shoulder
"Only if they have no standards" Kieran replies then looks at the blond with a smirk "Trust me he has standards. He's a one woman type of guy."
"How do you know?" Rachel's friend demands
"Because he's mine" Kieran replies hurrying down the stairs she hurries to Dominick. "Hey baby" she smiles "I missed you"
"I missed you too"
Kieran moves closer "You know we have an hour an a half until the appointment"
"Oh really"
"Hmm" Kieran nods "And its ten minutes away from the mansion,"
Dominick grins. "Well then home it is" he opens the car door for Kieran and goes around to the driver's side.
"Dom?" she asks her voice hopeful
"Yeah Kiera?" he acknowledges looking at her from the corner of his eye
Kieran leans her back against the passenger door "Baby I had a thought..." she trails off
"What?" he asks suspiciously
"When I was in class I realized that I won't be able to get my license for another year." She whines
"Why not?" he asks
Kieran rests her hand on her abdomen. "My birthday is in 4 months, and I'll be 7 months pregnant and I bet I won't fit behind the wheel." She explains
"I know baby, but after the baby's born you can go get your license." He promises
"OK." She sighs in agreement as they pull into the driveway. The two walk into the mansion once inside the door Kieran smiles at Dominick jumping up she wraps her legs around his waist. "Upstairs" she orders kissing him while rubbing her body against his.
"Kieran" he growls his hands cupping her ass he kisses her as he carries her upstairs to their room. He shuts the door with his foot then carefully places her on the floor next to the bed. His hands go to her shirt he frowns as she pushes them away. "Kieran" he hisses his eyes flashing gold.
Kieran shakes her head then places her hands on his chest shoving him onto the bed. "Not this time." Slowly she unbuttons her shirt allowing it to fall to the floor she begins to undo her jeans she strips them off leaving her standing there in her blue satin bra and panties. "You like?" she purrs raising her eyebrow
"Oh yeah" he growls looking her over "Come 'ere" he demands
Kieran moves closer to the bed catching his hands before they try to removes the underwear. She shakes her head her hands going to his shirt she slides it off his shoulders tossing it beside her clothes. She kisses him softly as her hands slide under his white wife beater pulling it off him she scratches his nipples smiling as he hisses. She watches his eyes as her hands go to his jeans and slowly she unbuttons them and slides the zipper down over his hard arousal, "Mmm." She purrs her hand brushing over his arousal teasingly. She kneels before him as she removes his jeans leaving him only in his boxers she meets his eyes and with a small smile she asks teasingly, "For me?"
"Always for you" he states watching as she removes his boxers her hand lightly stroking him "Shit" he growls
Keeping her eyes on his Kieran leisurely licks him her hands stroking him as she does. She smiles as she sees the need in his eyes "What do you want baby?" she whimpers rubbing her cheek against his thigh
"You" he growls pulling her to her feet he removes her bra and panties. He lifts her onto the bed his body covering hers he thrusts into her wet, hot body.
Kieran cries out in surprised pleasure "Mmm." She sighs looking into her lover's eyes she raises her eyebrow questioningly "Are you gonna share? Or take turns?"
"What do you want baby?"
Kieran touches his face tenderly "I like it when you share. But I also like it when you take turns" she kisses him "I want all three"
"I think that can be done" he smirks
Kieran watches as Dominick gives up part of control to his demon. She smiles pulling his face down to hers she kisses him tenderly as she wraps her legs around his hips. She meets his hard and slow thrusts as they kiss leisurely their hands move over each other's bodies. "Mmm you feel good baby" she gasps her hands grasping his shoulders.
Dominick smiles down at her "You are so beautiful" he growls kissing her
Kieran sucks on his bottom lip as she runs her hands up and down his back lightly scratching as she does. "Oh God" she cries squirming "Harder. Faster" she whimpers in frustration
Dominick growls his eyes flashing as he pounds into her with hard, furious thrusts. "Kieran" he hisses tightening his grip on her hips
Kieran tightens her legs around his waist her hands cupping his face in her hands looking into his golden gaze, "Dominick taste me." She growls her own eyes flashing.
Dominick looks at her unsure "Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you"
Kieran pulls his lips to hers "You promised you'd mark me as yours." she pulls his head to her neck "Please" she begs breathlessly
Dominick growls in pleasure as his face changes. He presses a light kiss to her jugular then tenderly pierces her neck with his fangs.
"Dom" she shrieks as her body explodes she clutches him to her as she chants his name "Dominick. Oh God Dominick" she runs her hands through his hair
Dominick retracts his fangs from her neck licking the twin holes clean. Purring in contentment, he lays his head on her shoulder watching in rapt fascination as the holes begin to close. Lifting a shaking hand he touches the wound, "Mine" he growls pressing his lips against the scar.
Kieran smiles "Yes yours, always yours." She promises stroking his head
"You taste so good." He purrs
Kieran brings her hand up to her neck touching the bleeding punctures "It felt so good. So right" she sighs running her hand down his neck
"It did. I can't believe we waited this long to experience this"
Kieran sighs, "We waited until we were ready."
Dominick smiles nuzzling her neck his hand trails to her abdomen his hand rubbing her damp skin "We waited for one thing longer than another."
Kieran smiles rubbing the small of his back "What do you expect from us"
"You know I could taste everything." He whispers
"Like what?" she asks
"Your passion, love, arousal, anticipation" he props his head up to look at her "I could even taste the baby"
"What do you mean?" she asks curiously
He looks down at his hand as he talks "I could taste how much love you have for the baby. How much you want it"
Kieran smiles gently caressing his face "I want this baby... your baby more than anything else life has to offer. I want our baby because it is not only part of us but part of our parents. I love you and our baby and all the others we'll have; so much" she says her voice tearful as she traces his features
"I want this baby too and all the others we have." he kisses her tasting her tears
Kieran laughs lightly. "And how many do you want?"
"6?" he asks hopefully
"Not unless your gonna have half" she chuckles
"Well since your gonna be the one pregnant then tell me how many do you want?"
Kieran frowns sitting up she rubs her abdomen absently "I hate the idea of having one kid 'cause the poor kid won't have anyone to play with"
"Hey we're both only children." Dominick reminds
Kieran smiles "I know" she strokes his arm absently "but we always had each other so we weren't really alone. Two would be good. I think it depends on the age difference between them. I know one thing I want to have an even number so each has a sibling to depend on so no one is stuck in the middle alone."
"I like that idea. Each has someone to count on just like we had"
Kieran lays her head on his chest "Do you think we'll be happy living like normal people? After all we aren't normal"
"We'll be happy no matter what is considered normal." He promises kissing her head he gently pulls up the blankets
"We missed the appointment." she yawns
"I know. I'll call tomorrow and reschedule"
"I was kinda looking forward to going. It woulda been baby's first checkup" she mumbles burrowing into his arms
"Get some sleep baby." He orders softly as he kisses her
Chapter 4
Next Afternoon
Kieran flies down the steps of the school jumping into Dominick's arms. She wraps her legs around his waist kissing him. "I... missed... you." She says punctuating each word with a kiss
Dominick smiles "I missed you too" he puts her down on her feet opening the passenger door for Kieran. Going around he gets into the drivers side "How was school?" he asks starting the car
Kieran groans "Long. I felt nauseous most of the day" she lays her head on his shoulder
"I'm sorry." He whispers putting his arm around her shoulders he kisses her head, "I managed to get you an appointment for today."
"When?" she asks clasping his hand
"In 15 minutes" he answers
"Oh" she sighs watching as they pull into the parking lot of the medical clinic. She unbuckles her seatbelt as Dominick turns off the car. Kieran leans over kissing his cheek "I love you" she murmurs
"I love you too" he smiles "Now lets go" he prods
Kieran sighs scooting across the seat she follows Dominick. "I hate doctors" she whines
"I know baby" he says holding the door open for her to enter first.
Kieran walks up to the check-in desk "Hi I'm here to see Dr. Thompson"
"Name?" asks the receptionist looking up startled to see the young couple before her
"Kieran Addington" Kieran supplies
The receptionist nods "all right I'll let her know you're here." she hands Kieran a clipboard "fill this out while you're waiting"
Kieran takes the clipboard "Sure" she answers following Dominick to the waiting area she sits beside him "Paperwork bites" she grumbles
"I'd love to bite you" Dominick growls kissing her neck
"Stop it" Kieran growls "I'm working" she says writing
"Okay" he sighs pouting
Kieran giggles "I'll make it up to you later" she promises
"You better" Nick chuckles
"Be good" Kieran admonishes
"I will." He promises twirling a strand of her hair
I want you two to share. She orders
We will Dominick promises
Sure love Nick agrees
It is our baby. The three of ours. So we share all of this
"Kieran Addington?" calls a nurse
Kieran sighs standing "Yeah" slipping her hand into Dominick's they follow the nurse into an exam room
"Put on this gown. The doctor will be here in a minute." The nurse says heading out the door
Kieran looks at Dominick "Don't give me that look." she says unbuttoning her shirt she pulls on the gown removing her jeans from under the gown. She sits down beside Dominick lacing their fingers.
"Hey I forgot to tell you my news"
Kieran looks up at him her eyes wide "What?"
"Well I finally came to a decision about school"
Kieran looks at their hands "Are we moving?" she asks softly
"No baby we aren't" he assures "I would never make that decision without you and not even thinking about it until after you graduate."
Kieran nods "What's the news then?"
"I made some calls to Sunnydale U about grad classes. They offer some that would go towards my degree. So I'm thinking that I'll take some classes and work part time."
"Where?" she asks
"I talked to the lawyer about the Gallery. Grandma put a stipulation in her will that whenever I need to work I will have a job at the Gallery, so the lawyer called the manager and I now have a part time job as his assistant. I also talked to some people at the college and the history department hired me to work in the research department."
"You don't need to have a job why are you getting one?" she asks
"Kieran I don't want to live off Mom and Dad's money when I can work."
Kieran is about to protest when the door opens and in walks the doctor. "Hi Dr. Thompson" Kieran greets
A petite blonde haired woman in her early 30s smiles at the dark haired teen. "Hello Kieran. I was wondering when you would return. I was hoping it would have been earlier." She admonishes gently
Kieran looks at her sheepishly "I know. I needed some time to think." she stands going to the exam table she hops up "Oh that's Dominick. Dominick Dr. Thompson" Kieran introduces
"Nice to meet you" Dominick nods
Dr. Thompson smiles "Likewise" she takes out her stethoscope "Kieran take a deep breath." She instructs as Kieran does she asks, "So how have you been Kieran? Any bleeding? Or cramps?"
"Nope" Kieran shakes her head
"And your nausea?"
Kieran sighs. "It used to occur mostly in the evening. Now its starting earlier"
Dr. Thompson nods "That sometimes occurs. What about dizziness? Are you experiencing extreme dizziness with your nausea?"
Kieran bites her lip thoughtfully "Once that I can remember"
"When was that?" Dominick asks concerned
"On Saturday" Kieran answers When I was near Acathala. The power made the baby nervous
"What happened to cause it?" asks Dr. Thompson
"I hadn't had anything to eat yet and I must've say up too fast." She answers with a shrug
"You need to remember to eat." Dr. Thompson remarks. "You are all ready considered to be underweight for someone of your age and height"
"Would that put them in any danger?" Dominick asks worriedly
"Its not something to be worried about at this time" Dr. Thompson reassures "Kieran you need to be sure to keep your weight up"
" 'kay"
"Kieran was your mother thin?" Dr. Thompson inquires
"I guess she could be considered to be thin." she shrugs "She was athletic"
"All right" nods the doctor writing some notes
Half an hour later
"So are you going to tell me more about your plan?" Kieran asks as they get into the car
"Sure baby" he agrees. "I'm thinking that I'll go to school starting next term"
"Doesn't that start next month?" she asks surprised
"Yes it does. I have managed to get into all the classes I wanted to. It took some convincing but I managed to convince the professors."
"Cool. What about the working thing?"
"Well I'll be working at the Gallery on the weekends and for the college after classes"
"How many classes?"
"Two. I told the head of the research department that I'd need a flexible schedule so that I could pick you up from school and stuff"
"But I can get home" she protests
"I know but I like picking you up from school." He tells her as he pulls the car into the driveway "Besides it makes me happy to see you"
"Makes me happy too"
"Then I'll work at the Gallery and the research department over the summer... part time of course." he continues as they walk into the mansion
As they sit on the couch Kieran sighs, "God I'm due in July"
"I know." He kisses her temple his hand resting on her stomach "After the baby's born I'll see about working at home"
"What about when school starts? What are we going to do then?"
"We'll figure it out when the time comes"
Kieran nods "I know"
"I love you." He whispers
"I love you." She echoes
Dominick notices the journals beside the couch "How about we read some more" he suggests
Kieran agrees burrowing into his arms
Dominick opens Faith's journal and reads:
"May 1, 2000
Buffy and Angel discovered some wicked news today. G and Wes have been researching day and night for information on Angel's curse and its clause. B and Soulboy can now jump each other's bones."
"First mention of the curse" Kieran remarks
"Yep but we have a while before we read about the announcement of me"
Kieran smiles "Lot longer til the thought of me existing"
Dominick chuckles as he starts to read again:
"Spike and me have a bet going that the mansion ain't gonna be quiet for a while. Those two won't be seen for a while. I say two weeks. Spike says three. I guess we'll have to see. After all they have a lot of time to make up for."
Kieran looks up at Dominick "Well I for one am grateful that they had all that time to make up for"
Dominick chuckles "Me too" he kisses her forehead "Lets read some more"
"May 10, 2000
God those two have been busy. We seen 'em like once or twice a day. Spike and me do most of the patrolling. B and Soulboy are happy. The mansion is less moody. If they were normal B would already be knocked up. But hey no worries there."
Kieran laughs, "Little did she know that that would happen not once but twice. Read ahead. I wanna know the reaction to Buffy being pregnant"
"All right" he agrees "Dad once said that Mom was 2 months pregnant before they told anyone. Except Spike since he woulda found out anyway" he flips through the pages "So that would have been in August." He mutters stopping "Here it is"
"August 10, 2000
"Ok the Hellmouth performed another freaky act. And I mean this is beyond normal. B told us she's two months pregnant. My first thought was that she was slamming some other guy but then I was like 'Faith this is B she is totally into Soulboy and would never cheat on him.' G and Wes freaked major. Then the Scoobies cracked the books. Spike looked like he was about to pass out from laughing until Buffy threatened to stake him. I guess I should be glad that B and Soulboy found their happiness after all they've been through."
"Well you gotta admit it is a little freaky that we exist" Kieran agrees. "Let's see what Daddy thought when he found out"
Dominick laughs "Sure baby" he picks up Spike's journal. He frowns "It looks like this journal didn't start until Mom and Dad told him. Wonder why"
"July 10, 2000
Bloody hell, I must have the worlds worst luck. Peaches and Summers are having a kid. The Hellmouth is working overtime for this one. At least its Angelus's kid and not Fishboy's.
August 10, 2000
Bloody hell that was funny. Watching the looks on the fools faces when the poof and the Slayer told them about the kid. The Watchers looked like they were about to pass out."
"I can imagine" Kieran laughs
"I woulda paid to see the look on Giles and Wesley's faces when they told them."
"I would pay to see the look on everyone's faces when they found out about me. Their looks would be priceless."
"I know. That woulda been sweet" Dominick chuckles
"Read more" she demands
Dominick turns the page of Spike's journal:
"September 1, 2000
Faith and me have pretty much taken over the slaying. Peaches helps out at times. Summers is pretty much banned from patrolling. I get to beat up the baddies. Unlife's going good"
"Skip to when you were born"
"Why?" he asks
"I know Daddy well enough to know all he's written about is fighting and dissing Angel"
"Good point" Dominick chuckles flipping through the journal
"March 18, 2001
Today peaches and blondie had their kid, a seven pound 3 ounce baby boy born at 3 AM. Peaches was totally panicked when Summers went into labor. She was in labor for 16 hours and we learned that the Slayer has a dirtier mouth than me. He's a cute little bugger. The kid's name is Dominick William Summers Connely."
"What did Faith write?" Kieran asks
Dominick picks up Faith's journal turning to the day he was born:
"March 18, 2001
B and Soulboy had a baby boy at 3 AM weighed seven pounds 3 ounces named Dominick William Summers Connely. He looks like a mini Angel. He's adorable with his brown hair that sticks straight up and big brown puppydog eyes. B was in labor for 16 hours. She broke Soulboys hand and bent the metal bars of the hospital bed. Poor doctor looked like his eyes were going to pop out when he saw that.
When I saw little Dominick I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach its hard to explain but it was like something deep inside of me was drawn to him. It was like something inside of me was connected to him. Maybe its because he's a Slayer's kid. I don't know."
"Seems like she felt it even before I was conceived" Kieran muses
"So in a way I knew you were going to exist one day." Dominick says twirling a strand of Kieran's dark hair around his finger
"Yep" Kieran agrees, "We exist for each other. We always have, always will"
Dominick kisses her hair "Time for someone to do her homework"
Kieran groans, "Do I have too?"
"Yes." he insists
Chapter 5
March 18
Kieran awakens to the sound of the alarm going off and Dominick rolling over hitting the snooze button. Propping her head up on her hand Kieran watches her lover slowly wake up. As she lies there she thinks about the last month and all that occurred bringing a faint smile to her face. 'We've been back together for a month. Things are great.' She rests her free hand on her slightly distended abdomen. Her smile widens as she sees the familiar hand covering hers as she looks into the familiar gentle brown eyes Happy Birthday my loves
Dominick kisses her Morning.
Kieran lays her head on his shoulder lacing their fingers I wish we could stay in bed all day.
Dominick rubs his cheek against her hair I know but we have school.
I say we stay in bed Nick suggests
Not unless you want to deal with me being a junior for another year. Kieran sits up stretching her arms above her head glancing at the clock then grins at Dominick "Do you realize you've been 22 for three hours?"
"Hmm" he sighs nuzzling her abdomen he lightly kisses her navel
Kieran squirms at the feeling running her fingers through his hair, "Baby we don't have time for this. You don't want to be late for your first class do you?"
"No." he sighs kissing her stomach again he sits up he kisses her, "We love you." He says referring to him and his demonhalf
"We love you" Kieran echoes "Both of you" she kisses him twice "Now go get ready"
Dominick nods "School just had to start on my birthday" he groans standing he walks into the bathroom wearing only his boxers
Kieran rubs her abdomen smiling at the slight movement "I know baby. You don't like your Daddies being gone huh?" She stands going into the bathroom where she finds Dominick at the sink shaving, "Don't forget you won't need to pick me up after school." She reminds turning on the shower
"How are you getting home?" He questions watching as she takes off her camisole and panties. "I don't want you walking home."
"I have to meet with a couple of students for tutoring in French. Brent said he'd bring me home."
"All right"
Kieran gets into the shower sticking her head under the showerhead. Her eyes closed she reaches for the shampoo
"I got it" Dominick takes the shampoo out of her hand
Kieran sighs relaxing as his hands massage the shampoo into her hair "Hmm that feels good"
"I'm glad you like it" he kisses her shoulder
"Don't forget you have to be home on time." She reminds rinsing her hair, "We have celebrating to do." She kisses him her tongue seeking his
Dominick leans his forehead against hers breathing heavily "So is that a preview for tonight?"
"Its going to have to be" she pulls away her stomach lurching she slams the shower door open reaching the toilet seconds before she empties her stomach.
Dominick hurries out of the shower kneeling beside Kieran he pulls her hair back.
"Thanks" she coughs "Oh God" she moans
"Oh baby." He says his stomach lurching in sympathy
"I'm fine." she assures him weakly
"Kiera you don't sound fine." Dominick argues. "You throw up pretty much everything you eat. Brent told me that you've been spending lunch in the bathroom"
Kieran runs her hand through her tangled hair "I shoulda known he'd tell you" she grumbles standing she goes over to the sink
"Kiera" Dominick stands behind her his hands resting on her stomach "he's just worried about you" he kisses the mark on her neck his hands rubbing her stomach tenderly "and his future niece or nephew."
Kieran turns around touching his face "Dom we're fine. You heard the doctor she said that I'm fine... the baby's fine." she kisses his collarbone
"I just worry about you." He whispers kissing her hair gently "I don't want anything to happen to you"
She smiles "I promise that if I feel anything wrong I'll let you know." She kisses him gently, "Now we need to get ready." She reminds pulling out of his embrace she walks into their bedroom going to the closet. She turns around to find Dominick sitting on the bed watching her. "Don't forget to be home on time. I have the night planned."
"I'm supposed to patrol tonight." He reminds
Kieran straddles his thighs "Not tonight. Brent and the others will." She takes his hand kissing his palm "If you aren't home on time..." She threatens
"I promise I'll be home on time" he kisses her forehead
Kieran nods "You know I was going to give you a preview but this little person" she smiles tenderly rubbing her belly fondly "decided to interrupt. So be home on time" she stands heading to the dresser
"I will." He agrees standing "So what is the plan for tonight?"
"You'll see" she smiles pulling on her panties and bra
"Can't wait." He says pulling on his boxers
Kieran pulls on a pair of pants then groans as she realizes that she can't button them "Great" she groans stripping off the pants throwing them across the room "another pair of pants that don't fit" she grumbles pulling a pair of baggy overalls out of the closet "do you realize I've gained 10 pounds in 3 months? I barely fit in any of my pants"
"How about this weekend we go shopping?"
Kieran grins, "You better not be kidding"
"I'm not." Dominick grins buttoning his shirt "I was thinking that we could start shopping for the nursery"
Kieran smiles "Fun. Baby shopping" she looks at Dominick quizzically "Don't we still have our baby stuff? I thought Buffy would have kept it"
Dominick shakes his head "All that's left is the rocking chair and our basinet"
"Are you sure? I thought she kept the crib and changing table"
"I'm sure. I checked storage a few days ago, when I couldn't find them I asked Tara. Tara said that Mom stored the rocking chair and basinet at Grandma's and sent the crib with Spike when he came for you."
"I wonder what happened to it"
"Tara said that Spike had to leave it behind when you guys had to leave last minute."
"Oh" Kieran replies exiting the bedroom
Dominick follows her downstairs to the kitchen, "You know I was thinking." He says
"About what?"
"That maybe we should move to the second floor"
"Why?" Kieran asks opening the fridge
Dominick pours her a bowl of cereal "Its not really practical for when we have someone babysitting. We'll be able to hear the baby from here but others won't."
"But I like where we are. Can't we just set up two nurseries? One in my old room"
"Where would we put the other nursery?" he asks
"The study." Kieran suggests. "We could move everything in the study to one of the empty rooms on the second floor."
Dominick frowns thoughtfully "That would cost a lot"
"I know but I'd really like to stay in our room." she smiles at him "After all its possible that we made this" she runs her hand over her belly "in that room. It may cost more to set up two nurseries but I like our room."
"How about we talk about it later? We need to get going" he remarks tilting his head at the clock
"Oh all right" she grumbles placing her bowl in the sink. Picking up her backpack she follows Dominick out to the car
10 minutes later
"Happy birthday baby" she whispers kissing him gently "be ready for tonight"
"So what am I in for?"
"You'll see." She says mysteriously sliding out of the car. "See you at 5?"
"5 it is" he promises "Call me if you need anything"
"I will" she smiles "Love you"
"Love you" he echoes
Kieran watches as the car pulls away from the curb then turns and heads into the school. Reaching her locker she finds Jez and Lise waiting for her "Hi" she greets
Jez cocks her eyebrow looking Kieran over "I take it another pair of pants don't fit" she observes
"Don't start" Kieran says opening her locker
"So did the birthday boy get an early present?" Lise asks with a smirk
"No" Kieran sighs regrettably as she takes out her books
"What happened?" Jez asks
"I was going to but..." she nods down with her chin
"Let me guess someone didn't like having to get up" Jez states
"Got that right." Kieran grumbles. "I asked Tara to come up with a potion of some sort that I can take so that tonight won't be interrupted by me hanging over the toilet all night"
"So have you told Dominick what he's in for?" Lise asks
"Nope its a surprise. All I told him was to be home on time"
"Is everything ready?" Jez asks
"Tara said she'd pick up the gift during her lunch break. The caterers will drop off dinner at 4:45. Are you guys sure you can handle patrolling?"
"We're sure. Besides things have been calm. The soldiers are rarely out." Lise replies
"That worries me" Kieran mutters "You know that means they're up to something"
The bell rings signaling that class is ready to begin. The three separate for their classes
That evening
"Baby where are you?" Dominick calls entering the mansion
"Right here" she answers
Dominick turns around to find Kieran wearing a short blue dress with spaghetti straps her hair swept up. "Wow. You look good"
"Thank you" she moves closer "So do you birthday boy" she kisses him taking his hand "Come on. Close your eyes" she instructs leading him outside to the courtyard. Smiling at the sight before her of lit candles and flowers "Open your eyes"
Dominick opens his eyes to find a romantic table set for two with flowers and candles. "You didn't have to do this"
Kieran smiles "It is your birthday baby."
"Thanks" he kisses her
"There's more after dinner." She promises
"Like what?" he asks pulling the chair out for her to sit
"You'll see." She says mysteriously
Later that night
"So did you like your gift?" Kieran asks listening to him purr
"Mmm. I loved it" he kisses her hair "I have something for you"
"What?" she asks surprised as she looks at him
"Just a sec" he kisses her nose. Pulling away he grabs his pants off the floor reaching into the pocket he smiles as he feels the familiar shape. "Here" he says handing it to Kieran
Kieran looks startled at the sight of a jewelry box for a ring "What is it?" she asks
"Open it" he replies.
Kieran opens it to find a silver claddaugh ring. Looking at Dominick tears in her eyes. "Its beautiful"
He smiles wiping away the fallen tears "Dad gave me this one" he nods at the box "and this one" he points to his ring finger 'on my 18th birthday. He told me to give it to the woman I love."
"Dom its beautiful" she whispers tearfully
"I love you" he slips the ring on her finger kissing it "my wife" he finishes with a shy smile
"I love you, husband" she says tears falling
"Forever"
"And ever" Kieran kisses him
