Hey all! I wanted to get some stuff up in time for Christmas but it just isn't happening. I hurt my back and just kinda had to suffer through the pain. I couldn't finish out this next chapter and get a start on the following one. I usually like to be a couple of chapters ahead of what I'm posting so I always have something to post just in case I get stuck. Good news though, this chapter is pretty lengthy, I think. I hope you enjoy it and that I've done the characters justice. It's real smutty, you've been warned.


Mary – Margaret rolled over and shut off her alarm. She slapped a hand over face and let out a small groan. It was early in the morning but it was also during her week off from school and she longed for the days before she had a child that maintained schedule no matter what. She listened out for Neal to signal that he was awake. She heard no sounds coming from his crib. She rolled over to cuddle closer to David. He had the day off. Regina was going to keep Neal for them over night so they could have a child free day and night. She wanted to take advantage of sleeping in while she had the chance. Who knew how long Neal would decide to sleep that morning? She needed all her energy for her day with David. She had a couple of activities planned. She leaned over to look at David and judging from the tent in his covers, perhaps he had some activities planned as well. His hand found her back and began rubbing small circles. Good, he was awake. Perhaps they could get a head start on child free day before they actually got rid of the child. A small part of her felt a little guilty for wanting to get rid of Neal for a little while, but she and David rarely got time alone anymore and she was grateful for this arrangement with Regina. The circles became long strokes starting from her shoulders and drifting down to her butt, which David would squeeze before heading back up. Mary –Margaret scooted in closer to David and began peppering is neck with kisses. They were still waking up and there was no real need to rush anything, Neal would probably interrupt them in a few moments. After a few minutes of languid kisses, tongues exploring mouths, teeth nipping lips swollen from kisses, David shifted over Mary – Margaret, placing his hands on either side of her head. Mary – Margaret shifted underneath him to accommodate his new position. David resumed kissing her lips for a few seconds longer before peppering them down her jawline towards her neck. Mary – Margaret lolled her head to the side to give him better access. His lips moved towards that spot just below her ear lobe and he gave it a strong pull that had Mary – Margaret whimpering. She wanted to be just a little louder but if Neal was still sleeping during their morning make out session she didn't want to ruin it. David sucked a little longer, a little harder before ghosting lightly down Mary – Margaret's jawline to her throat where he could feel the vibrations from her moaning. David paused, causing Mary – Margaret to turn her head back to David.

"Why did you stop?" she whispered. All David did was give her a mischievous grin before resuming his attacks, this time kissing the middle of her chest, above her breast. His hands moved to the sleeves of her nightgown. He pulled one down to gain access to her right breast. Mary – Margaret brought her hand up to his chest, stopping him. It was David's turn to look at her with a puzzled look. She chuckled lightly and brought her hands down toward the bottom of her gown to shimmy it up and over her head. David sat back to gaze at her body. Mary – Margaret caught his eyes and let out a shy giggle as she brought her hand over her eyes. David moved them to her sides.

"What?"

"I want to look at you."

"No, don't. I still haven't lost all the baby weight. And it's been two years. Ugh, I really need to take Regina up on her offer for evening walks. She's really going to be into it now that she's pregnant. Heaven forbid that woman gain a pound." David laughed at his wife's comment. It was true, Regina was the biggest health nut he knew. Most of it was for her health condition though and not to maintain her figure even if that was a side effect.

"You, you are beautiful to me. Your "baby weight" means that you've carried a child, our child. In that body we created a life and I love you more for it every day. When I look at Neal, I can't help but to feel such joy and happiness and you gave me that, how could I not love your body? How could I not love to look at it? Your boobs, are more awesome, and so's your ass." Mary – Margaret let out a chuckle. She shook her head and brought her arms around David's neck to pull him closer. Her lips grazed his nose before capturing his lips in a soft kiss. She picked a good one. He was sappy, but not in a bad way. He was sappy in a way that made her abandon all her insecurities. Sappy in a way that made her feel loved and cherished that no guy before him had ever made her feel. Once the kiss was finished, David pulled back once more to stare into his wife's eyes.

"David," Mary – Margaret whispered, "if we're going to do anything we better get a move on, Neal might wake up."

"Oh? Well why don't we just stop here?" Mary – Margaret's eyes went wide.

"What? No? We can't stop, I'm kinda worked up here and it's all your fault. You and your kisses and your overly dramatic compliments." David looked offended, only a little bit.

"What? I just want to please you and I cannot effectively do that in what precious few moments we have before our son awakens. So you'll just have to settle for this." And with that, David peppered kisses across her chest, nipping at her breasts that have gone taught with anticipation. David massaged one breast while his mouth busied with the other, sucking and licking and grinning when it became a stiff peak. Mary – Margaret watched her husband with strange curiosity while rubbing circles on his back, feeling his muscles expand and contract. Just as David switched his mouth over to her other breast, Mary – Margaret heard a small whimpering sound.

"Shhh, maybe he's not really awake," David cautioned his wife. For yes, he was giving Mary – Margaret all sorts of pleasure that the only way to properly express her gratitude was with deep moans and groans that she couldn't quite keep quiet.

"Don't 'Shhh' me. This is really all your fault. We might as well get up now. Regina is coming over this morning to oversee delivery and to pick up Neal so we don't have to leave the apartment." Mary – Margaret placed her hand on David's chest to stop his ministrations and pushed him so that he fell to her side. She pulled back the covers, replaced her nightgown and walked over to the crib where Neal was already standing, looking at her with curious eyes.

"Up." It was one of the few words Neal knew. Regina always commented on Neal's limited vocabulary given that Mary – Margaret was a teacher. It used to bother Mary – Margaret a little bit but, now she just responded to Regina's comments with "I just want him to be young and innocent for as long as possible. The world is cruel enough." Regina wouldn't respond much after that. Mary – Margaret picked up Neal and cuddled him close. He laid his head on her shoulder. She stood there rocking him for a minute before he picked his head back up and started surveying the room around him. She took him over to the changing table to change him out of is night time diaper. As she should stood there changing him she called out to David, "Hey David! Do you think we should start trying to potty train Neal?" David was in the kitchen getting started on coffee.

"Um, yeah, sure. I don't see why not, yeah?" Mary – Margaret nodded her head in agreement even though David couldn't see her.

Her little boy was growing up. First potty training, then school and girls and marriage and grandkids. Oh goodness how could she stop time? She couldn't, she knew and tears pricked her eyes, threatening to fall.

"Well now Neal, let's get you all changed, okay? And then we'll go join Daddy for breakfast. How does that sound?" The small boy gave a small whine as she busied with taking off his sleeper and wiping him down with a warm washcloth. She changed his diaper and redressed him with just a pair of sleeper pants and left him topless. She had learned long ago that it was pointless in dressing him in an outfit for a day out before he had his breakfast. He would just mess up all his clothes. The warm smell of coffee wafted through the loft. Mary – Margaret's stomach let out a low grumble. It was a bit past the time she usually ate breakfast. With one last longing look at her son and smoothing back his hair with her hand, she picked him and whisked him away to the kitchen area. She sat him in his high chair while David brought over their coffee and a bowl of dry cereal for Neal to munch on.

"So, what are the plans for the day?" David asked.

"Well, I thought we could eat breakfast here while we waited for Regina to get here. I'm not actually sure how long that is supposed to take. Depending on when she's finished will determine our next activity." Mary – Margaret finished as she took a sip of her coffee, letting it warm her through.

"Okay, I understand that, but what are we going to dooo?" David emphasized. Mary – Margaret let out a small chuckle. Her husband could be a goof sometimes. She loved that about him, he wasn't always so serious. It helped keep her mellowed out. They were good together in that way. She was a little neurotic when it came to Neal, but now that she had some years under her belt with the small child and teaching, she was perfectly content to not hover over him. Well, except when it came to night time. Night time they all snuggled together on the Queen – sized bed. She knew the time would come when the little boy would want to go off exploring all on his own and so while he was content to fall asleep in his parents' arms each night she would hold on to that as long as possible. She let out a shy grin before responding to David.

"You'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"

"Well, what if I had something planned as well and wanted to know how exactly to work it in?"

"Not. Telling. I'll let you know if it interferes. Now, what's for breakfast?"

"What's for breakfast? I made the coffee!"

"Yes, I know that David, now make breakfast too!"

"Okayyy. How does dry cereal sound?"

"That sound positively horrid. The delivery should be here soon, as well as Regina. Why don't you walk over to Granny's and get us a big breakfast? We cook enough."

"Yeah, we also eat enough at Granny's. I get the hint though, you want me out of the house."

"Well, the delivery is a surprise for Robin. She doesn't want you spoiling it."

"Hey! I can keep a secret you know."

"Uh huh, sure. Hurry up and put some clothes on." Mary – Margaret smacked David's arm as he stood up to head upstairs and take a quick shower and dress. Mary – Margaret shook her head, took another sip of coffee and glanced down at her son. He finished his cereal and was now slapping his bowl around on the table of his high chair. She ruffled his hair and reached to pull him out of the chair. She took him back over to the bed and went back over his sticky face and hands with the wash cloth. She put him on a blue Finding Nemo t shirt and socks on his feet. She walked over to the sitting area and pulled out some toys before turning on the tv to watch the morning news. The weatherman was forecasting out into the next week. It was to be relatively mild, the temperatures not climbing any higher than 55°F. She heard David coming down the stairs and she pulled herself off the couch.

"It's supposed to be nice out later today. You might want to take a light jacket though." David nodded his head and headed back over to the coffee pot to refresh his cup. There was a knock on the door. Mary – Margaret walked over to answer the door before David could.

"Regina, what a nice surprise!" Regina pursed her lips and eyed Mary – Margaret.

"You know good and well I was coming over this morning."

"Well, yes we did, but I wasn't sure what time."

"I wanted to get here before the delivery guys. Have they gotten here yet?"

"Nope, it's just you so far. Would you like to come in?" Mary – Margaret prompted. She stood to the side to allow Regina to pass through. Regina stepped through into the loft and Mary – Margaret noticed the gift bag in her hands.

"Oh is that a gift?" Regina looked down at her hands and looked back up at Mary – Margaret, looking a little startled.

"Oh, um yes," then she leaned forward to whisper, "but I'd prefer to give it to you without David here."

"Oh, Regina! I am so touched! But now you've got me curious as to what this might be, you never just give presents."

"Well, don't get too excited, it's just a Thank You gift for letting me store my purchase here until Christmas." By this time David was dressed and ready to head out to Granny's.

"Well this must be something super special for you to hide it here, what is it?" David asked as he approached the two women. Regina regarded him for a moment before responding.

"I am not telling you, or you, for that matter," Regina looked pointedly first at David and then at Mary – Margaret. "It's for Robin and I don't want you to spoil the surprise. But," she said as she looked back at David, "I will need your help in getting this to my house on Christmas. Do you think you can handle that?" Mary – Margaret and David looked at each other.

"Uh yeah sure. I'm sure we can get it loaded onto David's truck. We don't have to be over there super early in the morning, do we? We would like to spend some of that just the three of us."

"Oh yes, that's fine, I don't want to terribly interrupt your Christmas plans, I'm not that heartless," Regina said.

"Great! Maybe we could invite Emma and Killian over? Have a nice Christmas afternoon dinner maybe?" Mary – Margaret suggested.

"Hmmm, that sounds doable. Now, weren't you headed somewhere?" Regina asked David.

"Me? Yeah, I was headed out to Granny's to grab us some breakfast."

"Great, I will take a double order French Toast and a double order of bacon." Both Mary – Margaret and David's eyes went wide at Regina's audacity to request breakfast. Clearly David meant breakfast for Mary – Margaret and David.

"Um, Regina, I meant breakfast for me and Mare." Regina's faced dropped a little.

"Well, I'm feeling rather famished." Mary – Margaret pulled Regina towards her, seeing tears make their way towards the corners of Regina's eyes.

"David, don't be rude, Regina is a guest. I would also like an order of French Toast, with strawberries and link sausage. And maybe get some eggs for Neal?" David nodded his head and went out the door. Regina turned back towards Mary – Margaret, relief washing over her face.

"Thank you Mare. I'm not sure what's wrong with me. One minute I can barely keep anything down, the next I'm ravenous."

"It's okay, Regina, David's just a little anxious to get our day sans Neal started and you're kind of hampering things." Regina pulled back to consider her friend, looking a little taken aback.

"Well, I never! I am so sorry! This little parasite is sucking the life out of me. I'm sorry to be an inconvenience." Mary – Margaret slapped Regina's arm and pulled her towards the couch so they could sit.

"Quit it with the dramatics. We love having you over. Neal's excited to spend the day with you, aren't you buddy?"

"Gina! Up!" The little boy abandoned his toys on the floor and approached Regina. She pulled the little boy into her lap and he started fussing with the gift bag she still had in her hand.

"Honestly Mare, why doesn't he know more words? And here, this is for you…and David." Mary – Margaret rolled her eyes and pulled out the tissue paper from on top of the small package inside the gift bag Regina handed to her. She finally pulled out the small box and gasped.

"Regina, what is this for? Condoms, really?"

"Yes," Regina started, lightly bouncing Neal in her lap and pursing her lips before continuing, "I thought you could use them on your 'day sans Neal'. We wouldn't want any more accidents, would we? I don't want to be pregnant at the same time you are. It'll take all the attention away from me." Mary – Margaret chuckled and rolled her eyes at her friend.

"Honestly, Regina. Did you think of this all by yourself? Or did Emma help you out with this? This seems like something Emma would do."

"Who said Emma is the only one to give gag gifts? I have a sense of humor, you know."

"Yeah, sure you do," Mary – Margaret rolled her eyes and got up to put the box of condoms by the bedside so Neal wouldn't get into them. She returned to the living area of the loft to find Regina playing Peek – a – Boo with Neal. It was the cutest thing. "So, what is this mystery package that Robin can't find out about?" She asked when she went to sit down. Neal reached out his arms towards her to sit in her lap and slap her cheeks a little.

"I'm not sure I want to tell you."

"Come on Regina, you can tell me. I've kept your secret about the pregnancy, haven't I?"

"Oh yes, you did such a great job keeping that secret, even from me!"

"See? I can totally keep a secret!" Mary – Margaret laughed at herself. Neal climbed off her lap and motioned towards the tv. Finding Nemo had gone off and was replaced by the screen saver for the DVD player. Mary – Margaret picked up the remote control and restarted the movie.

"Well, the other day when we met you at Granny's from a fun – filled day of Christmas shopping?"

"And paint? For the nursery, I presume?"

"Hey, don't interrupt me, do you want to know or not?" Mary – Margaret nodded her head for Regina to continue. "Well Robin was shopping with Roland and I was shopping with Henry and when Henry and I went to find them, they were in the baby store, looking at cribs," Regina finished off with a flourish of her hand. Mary – Margaret's eyes widened slightly and tilted her head, indicating she wanted Regina to continue on with her story. Regina glanced down at Neal and sat silent for a moment.

"Is the, is it, oh my gosh – did you buy him the crib?!" Mary – Margaret exclaimed in realization.

"Shh, no need to be so loud! Yes, I bought him the crib."

"Oh my goodness Regina that's great! He's going to love it!"

"Yes yes, I'm sure he will. This is why I need you and David to bring it over on Christmas Day."

"Of course! Of course we will do that for you!" Mary – Margaret leaned over to give Regina a hug. She sobbed a little into her friend's shoulder. "Why are you crying?"

"I don't actually know. You know how much I hate to ask people for help."

"It's okay, that's what friends are for. We're happy to help. He's going to be so surprised! Have you told the kids yet?" Regina looked down into her lap.

"No, we haven't yet. We thought we'd tell everyone on Christmas."

"Tell everyone on Christmas what?" David asked as he entered the loft carrying everyone's breakfast. Regina and Mary – Margaret looked at each other. Even though Mary – Margaret had already told David that Regina was pregnant, she didn't want Regina to know that he knew.

"It's a surprise David. We're not telling you. Now go set that stuff up in the kitchen. We'll be there in a moment." Mary – Margaret leaned over to whisper into Regina's ear. "We're going to have to tell him, you're having the crib delivered here. Think of it as practice for telling everyone else." Regina nodded her head and made a move to stand up to eat the wonderful smelling French Toast wafting from the kitchen area. Mary – Margaret followed Regina to the dining area.

"Want something to drink Regina?"

"Yeah sure, I'll take a coffee."

"Coffee, Regina?"

"Yes, Mary – Margaret. I will have a coffee. Thank. You." Regina spoke tersely. Mary – Margaret wandered over to the kitchen to where David was plating out the food. She leaned over to whisper into his ear.

"Hey David, Regina's going to tell you she's pregnant. I know you already know, but she doesn't know that you know so I need you to act surprised, okay?" David slowly nodded his head so as not to call attention to himself from Regina. He finished plating out the food and took the plates to the table, two by two. Mary – Margaret followed him with their coffee. Regina wasted no time in tucking into her food. David was amazed at how much she was eating. Even if she was eating for two, he figured she would still be a little more health conscious. He figured she'd eat oatmeal and fresh fruit with yogurt. Certainly not French Toast and bacon.

"So, Regina, enjoying breakfast?" David prompted as he started in on is meal of eggs, sausage, toast and grits. Regina looked up at him, mid – bite before she slowly nodded her head.

"Yes David, thank you for bringing this. In my haste to get over here I forgot to eat."

"What time is your delivery getting here? Mary – Margaret has some things planned for us today and we can't wait to get started, right?" Mary – Margaret paused in mid – bite before slowly nodding her head in agreement. She didn't want to rush the woman.

"I do have some things planned out but nothing that can't wait until the delivery gets here."

"Good. I was hoping they'd be here by nine o'clock. We just need to find a place to stash it where Robin won't see it if he comes over."

"What is it exactly that we're hiding?" Regina dropped her fork, startled by David's directness.

"David! Don't be rude. We're doing Regina a favor, it's what friends do, no questions asked."

"Yeah, well unless it's a dead body. Is it a dead body Regina?" Both Mary – Margaret and Regina rolled their eyes at David's absurdity. Regina scoffed before responding.

"No, it's not a dead body. If you must know, it is a crib. There, are you happy now?" She got up, having finished her meal and walked her plate over to the sink to rinse it off. Mary – Margaret slapped David's arm. Regina walked back over to the table to sit down and finish nursing her coffee. "We were waiting until Christmas to make this announcement. We haven't told the boys yet and the only people Robin thinks that knows this information are me, him and the doctor. So please keep your mouth shut, do you think you can do that, David?" David swallowed. He hadn't known it was such a touchy subject. He nodded his head. "Well then, Robin and I are expecting a baby. I caught him looking at cribs so I decided to get him one. I wanted to surprise him with it for Christmas and subsequently announce it to everyone. We have an appointment later this week and if everything went well I told Robin we could announce it and start doing things to get ready for the baby."

"W-, well of course we'll keep your secret. Sorry, I didn't mean to pry."

"Well now that you know my deep, dark secret, what's yours?"

"What?" Just then a knock came from the door. Mary – Margaret stood up.

"That must be your delivery. Come on Regina, why don't we let them in and find a spot and you can be on your way and we can get our day started."


"What a rough morning, who knew Regina was so touchy?"

"David, be nice. This is a really big thing for her! Now let's forget all about this morning and focus on the rest of the day and night we have for ourselves, okay?" Mary – Margaret leaned into her husband and kissed his neck. She loved the smell of his aftershave. It smelled of warmth, if there was such a thing, and comfort. And safety and security and love. He loved her enough to shave the ticklish stubble from his beard. Especially if they were getting into shenanigans later. Perhaps she was glad Regina brought over condoms. Mary – Margaret hadn't transitioned back to her birth control pill as of yet and they definitely didn't need another baby while Neal was still in diapers. Potty training was definitely on her list of New Year's Resolutions for the upcoming year. She pulled away from David's neck and held him at arm's length. She studied his features, noticing the scar on his chin from some childhood incident. She ran her fingers over it before tracing over his lips, their memory from this morning still burned on her lips. David stared back into her eyes before grabbing onto her fingers, stopping the soft glides across his lips. He brought her wrist to his lips and kissed it ever so gently and then sucked on her pulse point. He wasn't sure what his wife had in plan for them, but he hoped she wouldn't mind the sudden detour he planned. Mary – Margaret gasped as David pulled her arm towards him, tucking it between them. He grasped her and brought her close to drop a soft kiss upon her lips. Her eyes closed at the contact, inhaling a sharp breath. David finished the kiss with a smile against her lips. "Breathe, dear, breathe." Mary – Margaret chuckled and released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.

"Sorry, it's been a while that we've taken anytime to be this way with one another," she lightly chuckled out.

"It has indeed, so let's not waste any more of it, hmm?" He asked as he leaned down once more to capture his wife's lips. It was a short kiss at first, but Mary – Margaret responded more eagerly, teasing her tongue across David's lips, shoving its way through. David obliged and parted his lips to receive her tongue. Their tongues danced in a sweet harmony, just relishing not being interrupted by a two – year old. David's hands began to drift up and down Mary – Margaret's sides while Mary- Margaret's hands hooked around David's neck, urging him closer. His hands found the bottom of her shirt and eased it up a bit so his hand could sneak all the way up to her breasts. He rubbed the soft mounds of flesh without the parting of their ever deepening kisses. His hand snuck around to her back and unclasped her bra. She chuckled a little, feeling quite like a school girl. Now with her breasts free, David was able to palm them, massaging them, taking each nipple between his fingers and rolling them. Mary – Margaret shifted her hands from David's neck down towards his pants. She undid his button and unzipped the zipper. She gave the pants a light shove. David did his best to shimmy the pants down and step out of them. Now that his pants were off, David decided to pull Mary – Margaret out of her bra and shirt and he did just that. He stepped back to admire her just as he did in the earlier hours of the morning. She was beautiful. Her breasts were more fuller, more rounder and even though her body showed marking of her pregnancy he found her more irresistible for that very fact. She let out another shy giggle.

"What? Don't do that."

"Don't do what?"

"Stare, it makes me nervous."

"Oh, my dear don't be nervous. I find you incredibly, delectably, sexy and you are all mine and if I want to gaze at your beauty, you can not stop me."

"Oh, I can't?" She asked as she took his hands and intertwined hers through them. David shook his head.

"Nope, you can not. Now, let's move this over to somewhere we'll be more comfortable, whadya say?" She nodded her head and directed him over to the bed. She pushed him down into a seated position before climbing on top and ground her hips ever so slightly. David let out a moan. "My dear, you have on too many clothes." Mary – Margaret looked at him shyly and stood back up. David reached forward and pulled down her pants, taking her panties along with them. She was fully bare before him. She reached forward and pulled his shirt from his torso. They stared at each other for a few moments before she stepped in between his legs so they were flush against each other. David buried his head in between her breasts, savoring the scent they gave off, enticing him. He began slow delicate kisses across them, taking one nipple into his mouth while palming the other. Mary – Margaret let out small gasps at the unexpectedness of his caress. She made a mental note that her breasts seemed a bit more tender than usual. He continued his assault, switching breasts. She held his head close to her chest, reveling the feeling and the sensations she was starting to feel elsewhere. Her hands drifted lower and she spread her feet apart. She stroked herself lightly, sending a shudder through her body. David paused with a nipple in his mouth and stared up at her with a cheeky grin. He released her nipple and dragged his hand across her belly and replaced her hand with his. He dipped one finger into her folds as she shuddered out a sigh. She was wet, practically dripping on his hand already. He let out a soft chuckle. "It has been a while, hasn't it, my love?" Mary – Margaret just nodded her head, it was all she could do to not make any noise. She wasn't sure why she was trying to be quiet, they were the only ones in the loft. "Don't be afraid, let it out." She gasped more loudly as he slid in two more fingers and sped up his ministrations. She soon found herself writhing unable to keep her balance. David braced her back as she started coming undone with his quick motions. His name shuddered across her lips. He was quite pleased with himself. He found himself getting quite worked up as well, his manhood growing ever so taught with anticipation. He stopped. Mary – Margaret opened her eyes that had shut. She stared down at her husband to see him giving himself soft strokes. He replaced one and began rubbing her now swollen clit. She shook her head and removed his hand from his dick. She began stroking it for him. She started at the tip and worked her way downward. He bit back a moan. She dragged her hand back up and gave him a few more pumps. "I don't think I can hold out much longer, Mare." David said and he tried to pull Mary – Margaret onto his lap, but she resisted.

"What? Don't get me all worked up here." She let out a soft chuckle and reached to the side.

"Here, Regina brought these over for us to use." David's mouth dropped open.

"Did you tell her all your plans?"

"No, just that we wanted a proper night to ourselves. She's an adult. She figured it out. She said she didn't want to be pregnant at the same time as me."

"We're always careful."

"I know, but I don't want to chance it. My breasts are really tender which means I've probably ovulated. Do you want to chance it?" David looked down at his softening dick. He shook his head no. Mary – Margaret leaned forward and kissed him before opening the box. "Wow, she got us the economy package. I wonder how much sex she thought we were going to have today." David resumed stroking himself while Mary – Margaret separated one of the packs from the strips of packs. She carefully peeled apart the wrapping so as not to damage the condom. She handed it to David to slip on. David then pulled Mary – Margaret towards him. She climbed on top of his lap, hovering just a moment to allow him to place his penis inside. She sank slowly, allowing her body to adjust to him. They sat there for a moment. David rubbed her thighs and began encouraging a rhythm. Up and down and a thrust. It was slow at first, building to a crescendo. David grabbed his wife's ass for more leverage. She seemed a being all unto herself like he'd never seen before. She usually considered where he was throughout their love-making, if he was being satisfied. She was giving in that way, but today, it seems, her hormones were driving her. She braced one hand on his chest as she leaned back with the other hand bracing his thigh as she changed the angle. He could feel contractions pulsing around his penis, knowing she was about to explode. He picked up the pace. He wanted them to cum together. She screamed out his name and stilled. David could feel the buildup and resumed his thrusts inside her for a few minutes more. She didn't mind. She settled back into a rhythm, rolling her hips. She slid up his shaft until it was almost completely out before settling back down again. Oh, she may have come but she could definitely feel a round two approaching. She leaned into David. Her thighs were starting to cramp. He stood up and her legs wrapped around his waist. He placed her onto the bed and slid her to the edge. He leaned over her and began thrusting. She pulled back her legs and held them open so David could go deeper. It was the best feeling in the world for him. He thrust, once, twice and one third final time, letting his orgasm over take him. He laid on top of his wife for a moment to allow himself to soften a bit before pulling out. He pulled the condom off and dropped it into the waste basket by the bed. He offered his hand to his wife and she pulled him down beside her. Their bodies were covered with a sheen that left them both with the afterglow of their love – making and it was wonderful. Mary – Margaret snuggled into her husband's side and they fell asleep, exhausted.

It was a few hours later that Mary – Margaret opened her eyes to see that her husband was absent from his side of the bed and that she'd been covered with their sheets and thick cover. She could smell food. Her stomach grumbled a bit, reminding her that the last time she'd eaten was early this morning and she wasn't sure what time it was now. She glanced over to the bedside clock. It was nearly four o 'clock. All her plans for a day sans Neal were practically out the window. She threw the covers to the side. She was still naked. She swung her feet to the floor and picked up the clothes she and David discarded earlier. She felt sticky and in desperate need of a shower. She went to the washroom and showered off. After about ten minutes she emerged feeling quite refreshed. Although she enjoyed her day with just David, her heart ached just a little bit knowing she wouldn't see her little man for many more hours. She dressed in some yoga pants and one of David's oversized shirts and headed down the stairs and over to the kitchen where David was plating up grilled chicken sandwiches and salad.

"Hey you, thought you might be hungry. Did you sleep well?"

"Mmmhmm, that was amazing. I can't remember the last time we've done anything like that."

"Probably not since before Neal I would reckon."

"Yeah, but I miss him so."

"I know. We'll have him back in the morning." They sat down at the table and ate in silence for a few minutes, famished from their earlier activities. David let out a light chuckle. Mary – Margaret looked curiously over him with a shy grin. Soon they were both laughing uncontrollably.

"Why," Mary – Margaret began in between laughs, "Why are we laughing?"

"Because we are! We're happy! We're alive! We're together! And it's so amazing I can't help but to laugh because it just feels so damn good." They stood and pulled each other into a hug. They stood like that, dancing to a silent tune until their laughter died down. David pulled back to look at his wife. "I know you had this big day planned out for us and we've practically wasted it by sleeping and stuff, but you what?" Mary – Margaret shook her head. "I couldn't imagine a better way to spend a day with you. Why don't we just stay in and curl up in front of the tv and watch something on Netflix?"

"I think that sounds like a most wonderful idea." They chucked their dishes into the sink, not bothering to rinse them off and load the dishwasher and headed over to the sofa in front of the tv. They chose some sappy Christmas movie and cuddled up in each other's arms, blissfully in love.


Thanks for reading! I'm not one for begging for reviews because I just enjoy writing the story, but they do mean a lot to me and I would love it if I got some more - hopefully constructive, if you love, if you don't like it (but be gentle and tell me why). Again, thanks for the faves and follows and Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy (belated) Diwali, Happy Holidays in general. May it be filled with love and laughter and happiness.
