Tina slowly opened her eyes the next morning as she felt Paul run his hand over her bare arm, she smiled and rolled onto her back, turned her head and gave him a light kiss on the lips, Paul moved his hand from her arm under to the cover to her naked stomach and deepened the kiss.
"Now that's what I call a good morning." Tina spoke softly as they broke the kiss. "Have the babies been feed yet this morning?"
"No and they haven't budge or made a sound since their last feeding." Paul answered while he lightly caressed her stomach and side. "When do you think they'll wake up?"
"Why? Did you have something in mind?" Tina wrapped her arms around is neck and pulled him in for another kiss.
"I was just thinking about jumping in the shower, but I didn't want to leave you out here all alone."
"Well then we better hurry and get in there before they wake for their morning feeding." Tina kissed him softly.
Tina picked up the phone on the third ring as she pulled her tee shirt on she looked at the caller id and saw Dave's number and let out a sigh as she pushed the talked button.
"Hello."
"Hey Tina, I tired to call you earlier but no one answered."
"I got your message I was in the shower, the kids decided to let me sleep in a little later then normal." Tina gave a little laugh.
"Well they can be nice once in a while." Dave laughed. "I'll be there a little later then I said in my message, the traffic out here is crazy. I'll probably be another hour or so before I get there."
"That's okay, gives me a little more time to get their things packed. How long are you going to keep them?"
"I have to be back on the road in five days, is that okay?" Dave knew this was hard on her she was their mother and was the only person that was with them twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. "If it's not I'll bring them back sooner."
"No it's okay you're their father and you deserve to spend time with them." Tina paused as she wiped a tear that was threatening to fall from her eye. "I'll talk to ya when you get here. Bye." Tina hung up the phone and laid it on the night stand. After a few seconds she felt Paul wrap his arms around her waist.
"They will be fine baby I promise." He whispered to her to comfort her. She nodded her head and turned around in his arms and buried her face in his chest as she let tears fall, Paul lightly rubbed her back and let her cry. "It's okay sweetie. Why don't you feed them and I'll finish packing up their things, that way you can spend time with them." Tina lifted her head and wiped the tears away as Paul placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Thank you." She whispered then walked over to the playpen and picked up her waking son.
Dave pulled in the driveway of Paul's house forty-minutes later. Dave walked up to the front door and pushed the door bell and few seconds later Paul opened the door for Dave to walk in the house.
"How ya holding up?" Paul asked after he shut the door.
"I'm going crazy." Dave answered honestly. "But I know that there are things that I need to figure out for my self before I can bring Tina and our kids back in to my life full time. I just hope that when I do get things figured out that Tina still wants to be with me. I really don't deserve her with everything that I have put her trough over the past year."
"She does care about you Dave and I'm sure that you will get her back once things are better." Paul knew that Tina would go back to him, he knew that after last night when she moaned Dave's name instead of his. "Tina's feeding them now, so we can take their things out the car." Paul turned around and picked up two on the bags while Dave grabbed the other two then walked out to the car that he had rented and put them in the trunk. They walked back in the house and headed to the living room, they stood in the doorway and Dave watched as Tina fed their daughter, he missed that most of all. There was always such a bond that Tina made with the babies when she fed them, she would sit in the rocking chair that he had bought for her and softly talk or sing to them she they fed. He could watch her with their children all day, no matter how bad of a day he was having that always made him smile. Tina looked up when she felt like she was being watched and gave the two men a small smile then looked back down at her daughter.
"She's just about done." Tina voice was soft and it broke Dave's heart. "Xavier was been fed and changed and is now sleeping like always." Tina paused and looked back up at Dave as he walked over to the playpen where his sleeping son was. "There should be plenty of bottles and milk for the week if not then just buy a can of formula, it won't hurt them for a day or so. Paul did you get the bottles out of the fridge?" Tina turned and looked at Paul who stood still in the doorway.
"I knew I was forgetting something." With that he turned and walked to the kitchen.
"There should be enough clothes, diapers and wipes and Seheria has a little bit of diaper rash." Tina moved Seheria to her shoulder when she finished feeding and began to lightly pat her back. "They've been eating every four hours and then they sleep for about an hour afterwards. At night they've been going down at seven and then back up at ten or so for a feeding, but since they slept a little later this morning they might be a little off so just kinda go with what they tell you. Could you please get me their car seats over there?" Tina pointed to corner at the infant seats, Dave walked over and picked them up and carried them over the couch where Tina was, he sat one beside her and she gently placed Seheria in the seat and buckled her in then stood and started to walk over to the playpen when Dave put his arm around her waist and stopped her.
"Tina stop and take a breath." He pulled her back in front of him. "Everything will be okay, I know it's hard. Trust me I know what you are going through right now, I've been there remember." Tina suddenly felt bad at the thought of what she put him through the night she took their kids and left. "You do trust me with them don't you?"
"Of course I do Dave."
"Alright then you have to believe me when I say that everything is going to be okay. You can call anytime day or night just to check on them if you want. I don't plan on going anywhere this week so I'll be there. Everything will be fine." Dave spoke in a calm and caring voice; it had been a long time since he talked to her like this it made her heart flatter.
"This is the first time that I will be away from my babies; I have been there every day since they were born. It's just hard for me right now you're taking my babies for five days that's five days that I won't be able to hold then or kiss them or feed them or play with them or watch them sleep what am I going to do?" Tina cried, Dave pulled him to her and held her as she cried in to his chest and soothingly rubbed her back. "I'm so sorry Dave I told myself that I wasn't going to do this, I've been telling myself that I can handle them being gone for a week."
"Tina its okay, if you don't want me to take them right now I won't. I know how hard it is to have you're kids taken from you, I know what it's like not to be able to hold them or even see them everyday and I don't want to put you through that you have been through enough because of me. I don't want to hurt you again."
"No they're your kids too; you have a right to see them when you want to. I just have to suck it up and be tough for once in my life. I know that they will be just fine and you will take great care of them, if there is one thing that I know about you it is that you are the greatest father there is." Tina gave him a smile through her tears.
"And if there is one thing that I know it is that you are the toughest woman that I know. Not only have you put up with all of my shit but you gave birth to two babies in the same night, I could never have done that."
"Yeah well you made me that tough."
"At least I did one good thing while we were together." Dave lightly ran his thumbs under her eyes to wipe away the rest of the tears and make-up. "Do you feel better now that you had your little break down on me?"
"Yes I do, thank you for letting me have my break down." Tina smiled at him and walked over to the playpen and picked up Xavier and carried him over to the couch where the other infant seat was sitting next to his sister. After she fastened him in the seat she turned and looked at Dave. "You take one and I'll take the other." Dave smiled and picked up one of the car seats as Tina picked up the other and they walked out to the car. They fastened them in the back seat closed the doors then Dave walked around the car and to the driver's side where Tina stood. "I guess I'll see you at the end of the week then."
"I'll call you when I'm headed out okay and you can call the house anytime that you want to check on the kids. But I promise everything will be okay." Dave pulled her in for a quick hug and kissed the top of her head.
"Call me when you get home please, if not I'll worry." Tina pulled back from the hug when she heard footsteps approach them.
"I'll call no matter what time it is when we get there." Dave smiled and took the bag that Paul handed him. "Thank man."
"Drive careful." With that Dave got in the car and started down the driveway. Paul slipped his arm around Tina's waist and pulled her close. "You doing okay?" Tina nodded and snuggled close to him as she watched Dave turn out of the driveway and out of her sight. "You want to go inside and help me find something for lunch?"
"I'm not really all that hungry." Tina replied as she looked up at him.
"Well then you can watch me eat." Tina smacked him lightly as they turned and started into the quite and empty house.
Paul pulled had the table set nicely for dinner and was waiting for Tina to walk through the front door from her day of shopping, the twins have been gone for two days and Tina for those two days Tina wasn't sure what to do. Every night she woke up at three am waiting to hear one of the twins start to cry for their feeding, when it would hit her that they weren't there she try to fall back to sleep but would end up lying in bed for an hour before sleep would finally over come her. This morning Paul decided to give her his credit card along with the keys to one of his cars and told her to go out and spend the day buying herself some new clothes and just be by herself, of course she refused about a hundred times but after carrying her outside to the car and shutting her in she had no choice but to go. After she had left Paul spent the day cleaning the house fixing her a nice candle lit dinner, as if on cue he heard the front door open and Tina drop what sounded like a million bags on the floor.
"I'm back." Tina said loud enough for Paul to hear her as she closed the door behind. "And you are now poor." She added so only she could hear with a laugh.
Paul walked out of the kitchen and down the hallway where he found Tina in the middle of tons of bags. "I see some one had fun today." He smiled as he picked up most of the bags. "And I would have to say that I have no more money now."
"You were the one that put me in the car remember." Tina said as she followed Paul upstairs with the three bags that she had. He sat the bags on the bed and turned to Tina pulling her close to him. "Don't worry I got something for you." Tina pulled his credit card out of her back pocket and handed it to him. "Here ya go."
"A card that is maxed out, how did you ever guess?" He joked and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Actually I got you a couple things." Tina pulled one of the bags to the edge of the bed and pulled out a silk, burgundy colored dress shirt. "I always see you blue or white so when I saw this I just had to get it for you." Paul smiled and took the shirt from her.
"I'll wear for the next show." He wrapped one arm around her waist and gave her a soft kiss on the lips one of which Tina returned with a kiss of her own as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer to him. "What else did you get me?" Paul asked when they pulled away from the kiss.
"The rest you'll get later." Tina kissed him again. "That is if you're a good boy."
"Well why don't you put all this away and I'll go check on dinner and we can see just how good I can be." Paul patted her on the butt, kissed her nose and walked out of the room.
After Tina hung up the clothes that she had bought that day she put Paul's other gift in the bathroom then started down to the kitchen. She stood in the doorway and watch as Paul dished out food on two plates then sat them to the side and pulled out a bottle of wine from the fridge. Tina walked in the kitchen and wrapped her arms around Paul from behind and pressed a kiss to his back.
"What are you doing?" She asked stepping to his side.
"I made us dinner and I didn't burn the house down." Paul picked up the plates and Tina grabbed two glasses out of the cabinet along with the wine and followed him into the dining room.
All throughout dinner Tina couldn't help but think of how right everything felt being at Paul's house. He treated her like a queen from the time that she woke up in the mornings to the time she went to bed, he gave her everything that she wanted or needed and she didn't have to ask for anything he just knew. He listened to what she said no matter how stupid or dumb it may have sounded to most people, and if she needed help with something he was always there to help you come up with a solution. She felt like this was where she was meant to be and his was the person that she was meant to be with, however, no matter how much she tried to convince her heart that it still said she was meant to be with Dave. She couldn't shake her feelings for Dave and she tried every second of everyday to get him out of her head, but she couldn't he was still there in the corner of her mind and he wasn't going anyway. Tina looked up at the man sitting across from her as they ate, this man never once lied to her or promised her things that he knew he couldn't keep; he left her and her two kids in his house and was willing to take care of them. Maybe she just needed to forget about Dave, he says that his going to change but how many times had he said that before and it never happened. She could trust Paul with anything; she couldn't trust Dave not now, now when she had two babies to take care of. Yes her heart belonged to Dave but for once in her life she was going to listen to her head and tell her heart to shut the hell up. Paul made her happy, he could make her smile when she was upset and he cared about her, love will come with time, she thought to herself.
Paul stood from his chair and walked back in the kitchen taking their plates with him and he returned with one bowl of cookies and cream ice cream and two spoons he pulled the chair out beside her and sat beside her placing the bowl on the table between them. Tina watched as he dug the spoon in the ice cream and held it up for her to take the first bite, slowly opening her mouth she accepting the bite with a small moan. Tina picked up the second spoon and fed Paul the next bite then leaned over and gave him a kiss on the side of his neck.
"You know we could take this upstairs and finish it in bed." She whispered seductively in his ear. "And I could show you what else I bought you today, since you've been such a good boy." Tina kissed his neck once again getting a slight moan from him as he pulled her from her chair to his lap, he moved her hair from the side of her neck and dribbled a little bit of the ice cream on her neck causing her to shiver when it hit her bare skin and the feeling of his tongue on her skin as he licked the ice cream from her neck making her shiver more. Paul stood from his chair and Tina wrapped her legs around his waist as he began carrying her upstairs.
Once inside the room Paul set Tina on the bed and began to climb on top of her as he kissed his way up from the top of her breast to her mouth. He began to tug her shirt up and over her stomach but Tina stopped him and pulled it back down then lightly pushed him back from her. Paul moved back with a confused and shocked look on his face Tina moved from the bed and walked in the bathroom leaving Paul sitting on the bed thinking that his night was over, he let out a frustrated sigh and laid back against the head board flipping the TV on. As he flipped through the channels he wondered if he had done something to make her change her mind, he thought that she was all for it, she was the one who suggested they come upstairs in the first place, maybe it had something to do with Dave. Just as Paul was about to close his eyes Tina opened the bathroom door and leaned up against the door frame wearing black thigh high stockings that were held up by a black garter which was attached to the sexiest black teddy that he had ever seen. Tina seductively walked into the bed room running a finger across the top of her breast; she stopped at the foot of the bed and slowly crawled onto the bed and over his legs, giving him the best view of her breast possible. Stopping at his waist she took his hands and placed them on her hips as she moved against him slightly then leaned down and kissed him with all the passion that she had in her.
"Do you like your gift?"
Paul ran his hands up from her thighs up to the sides of her breast and in towards the satin ribbon, that was just barely keeping the material together, and pulled lightly undoing the ribbon giving him a much better view of her. "I love it. But I think that I would love it more if it was on the floor instead of on you."
"Well then you're just going to have to fix that aren't you?" Tina replied leaning down to kiss him once again as he began to remove the ribbon and completely expose her.
