Chapter 33

"Fucking incredible," Brian panted as he collapsed on the bed beside Lorelei. "Remind me to put your doctor in my will for giving you the all clear."

She had to giggle a little. "Happy Valentine's Day to you too."

"Yeah. Sorry about practically attacking you when you barely got in the door from the doctor's office."

"Given the circumstances, it's perfectly understandable."

"So you want to get a shower and go to dinner?"

"Aren't you Mr. Romance," she teased. "Sex, and then a shower before dinner."

"Hey, with the kids out of the house at least overnight, we may as well make best of the little quality time we have."

Lorelei nodded. "Good idea."

The phone then rang, causing him to groan. "I knew this night was going all too well."

"I'll get it," she said, checking the caller ID. "It's Yvette, probably wanting to ask something about Brilor."

"Couldn't it have waited till later?" he whined.

"Don't have a hissy fit; it will probably take less than two minutes."

Brian yawned and grabbed the TV remote. "Okay then. I'll entertain myself for a few."

"No porn," she warned him teasingly.

"Oh right, I'm going to watch dirty movies with my wife right here. Then again I could see what's on the gay channel."

"You are one weird man," she laughed before directing her attention to the phone.

Lorelei spoke to Yvette for awhile about specific feeding instructions for Brilor; Joey hadn't been sure of the exact amounts and both had figured it would be better to call Lorelei than take the chance of guessing, with the end result either being him receiving too much or too little."

She told Yvette not to worry about it before giving the needed directions before speaking to Joey for a few minutes and telling her not to monopolize Yvette's phone or play music too loud.

"Don't worry, Ma," Joey reassured her. "I have my ear buds so I don't disturb the baby and my own cell phone if I need to call anyone for something. I'm hardly a little kid."

"I know, sweetie," Lorelei answered, "but I just want to make sure you don't give Vette any more trouble than she needs."

"Bri Bri and I will be fine, Ma," Joey said. "Go back to your romantic evening with Dad. It isn't often that you get those opportunities."

Lorelei then hung up, her attention then turned to a strange noise. Looking down, she saw Brian asleep, snoring away.

"Oh this is one romantic evening," she muttered to herself, picking up the remote to change the channel.
