"Put your bag in your room for me okay" Kate held out Theo's backpack when they arrived home
"Then can I watch SpongeBob?"
"How about some colouring instead?"
"Why?"
"Do you have to question everything I say?" she sighed
"Why?" he giggled
"Get outta here" she playfully kicked his butt with her foot just as a knock at the door echoed through the apartment,
pulling open the door she couldn't help but smile when a bouquet of roses lowered to reveal Dylan's cheesy grin
"For you" he held them out
"There beautiful, what's the occasion?"
"Just wanted to see that smile" he leaned in kissing her cheek "can I come in?"
"I.."
"Is Mike still here?"
"No but I'm not.." she stepped back in surprise when Theo pushed past her
"Dylan!" he jumped up at him
"Theo, careful" Kate shook her head moving back to find a vase for the flowers
"Hey little man" Dylan grinned lifting him into his arms
"Did she say yes?" he whispered holding a hand up to cover his mouth so Kate wouldn't see
"I didn't get to ask little buddy"
"You said you would?"
"We ended up pigging out on pizza last night, I didn't get the chance" he moved into the apartment kicking the door shut with his foot
"Now's your chance" Theo squirmed out of his arms, running over to Kate he pulled on the hem of her shirt
"Just a sec Munchkin"
"Mummy" he tugged again
"Just a sec"
"But it's important"
"What?" she turned kneeling to his level, placing a hand over her ear he whispered softly she almost didn't catch what he said looking up at Dylan he had a smug grin while leaning his back against the bench
"So?" he pulled back to look at her
"An hour that's it"
"Yes!"
"What was that about?" Dylan asked when Theo ran out of the kitchen as Kate arose to stand
"I have no idea" she laughed "but I heard the end part about watching SpongeBob"
"That kid and SpongeBob"
"So what did you wanna ask me?"
"I.." he looked at her in confusion "how'd you know I wanted to ask something?"
"Theo thinks he's good a whispering but he's not"
"Right.."
"So?"
"Well.." he gripped her hand pulling her flush against him "I wanted to ask you out"
"Like a date?"
"Yes, like date maybe some dancing, drinks some ice cream too"
"And how did Theo know about this question?"
"I asked his permission last night at the wedding"
"You.." she rested her hands on his chest "you asked my four-year-old permission to take me out?"
"Of course, I wanted him to be okay with it"
"And he actually said yes?"
"After he told me I wasn't allowed to steal his hug time yeah" he grinned pushing a loose hair behind her ear
"Dylan.."
"Sorry I overstepped.."
"Thank you"
"What?"
"Theo means the world to me and the fact that your asking his permission to date his Mummy.." she was at a loss for words, reaching her hand up behind his neck she lowered his head kissing his lips softly "just thank you.." she whispered pulling away
"I adore Theo, and his Mother happens to me my most favourite person"
"Oh.. well I gotta say I'm sorry but Theo tops that place in my life"
"Ouch.." he sarcastically clutched his chest "seriously?" he raised an eyebrow
"No" she laughed hitting his chest "you and Theo tie for first place, maybe you just a little more because of those killer Orgasms last night" she winked walking away
"I'd be happy to give you some more very soon" he swatted her backside as he pulled out a kitchen chair taking up a seat
"By the way you are aware you left shirtless this morning?" Kate questioned over her shoulder where she was finishing with the flowers
"Yes but asking my shirt back in front of your ex isn't exactly the way I wanted to see you naked again"
"Fair point"
"So what time did the dreaded ex leave?"
"Not long after you actually"
"For real?"
"Mm-hmm" she hummed placing the vase of roses in the middle of the kitchen table,
Dylan grabbing her wrist and pulling her into his lap before she could move back to the bench "Are you okay?" he nuzzled he neck when she wrapped an arm around his shoulder
"Serena's Pregnant.."
"What?" Dylan threw his head back to look at her
"Theo's gonna be a big brother to his father's love child" she shrugged
"Do you know how far.."
"No"
"Jesus.."
"From what I've been told she tricked Mike into getting her Pregnant"
"Is that what he told you?"
"No, I kicked him out before he told me anything more"
"Then.."
"His Mother" she shrugged
"I mean I love Mumma Flynn but I just don't know if I believe her"
"Have you spoken to Mike since?"
"I don't want to know"
"Kate.." Dylan tightened his grip around her for comfort
"Please can we just change the subject?" she sighed sadly
"Sure"
"How was training?"
"Exhausting my muscles are killing me"
"You know my bath has jets, if you wanna stay the night?"
"Are you sure? I mean Theo's here and I don't want to impose.." placing her free hand across his cheek she ran her thumb across his lower lip
"Stay, please?"
"On one condition"
"Am I going to like it?"
"Have a bath with me, tonight once Theo goes to bed"
"That's it?"
"Well.. not exactly" he trailed his free hand up her thigh, his eyes glistening with desire
"Naughty" she grinned stopping his hand "later, but it's only lunchtime think you can wait till tonight?"
"For you? Always" he kissed her cheek lingering close after his lips pulled back,
looking into her eyes that were reflecting his own feelings Dylan leaned his head in to kiss her lips the sound of Theo throwing a tantrum interrupting there moment.
Letting his hold go from around her waist Kate arose to stand "I better go check on him"
"Yeah" grabbing his face in her hands Kate pushed hr lips against his in a passionate kiss Dylan groaning when she pulled back nipping his bottom lip slightly
"Just a little tease of what's to come" she winked exiting the kitchen,
laughing to himself as he moved to stand he couldn't help but smile when he followed after her.
