Halloween Night

Debra and Ray got the kids off to their respective parties with their friends and it was almost 10 pm. Robert and Amy were already at Ray and Debra's.

Ray was trying to gather together everything they would need for the night: blankets, a battery powered space heater, flashlights, "Deb, where are the emergency flashlights?" he called from upstairs.

"In the garage, honey." She replied sleepily from where she was curled up on the couch. Late nights were rare for her these days.

Ray came bounding down the stairs, duffle bag in hand, "Thanks, cheese doodle." He said playfully as he stopped to kiss her on his way to the garage.

"Well, Deb, do you want to pop in one of the movies?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, but I am not sure how long I will make it." She yawned.

"That's okay. Mel Gibson takes his shirt off in this one so if you fall asleep I will have plenty to keep me occupied." Amy joked.

Robert gave his wife a hurt look, "What about me? Since when do you need Mel?" he asked teasingly.

"Aww, Yogi, you know I love you. He's just eye candy." She assured him, giving him kiss on the cheek.

Debra laughed as Ray came in from the garage, "Okay, I think that's everything. You got the sandwiches Ma made?"

"Oh yeah, they're in a cooler in the car. Let's roll Cubby." Robert replied.

Ray walked over to where Debra was and kissed her good-bye, "I have my cell phone if you need me. I love you." He said patting her belly.

"I love you too, Ray." She smiled, "You guys have fun and watch out for what goes bump in the night." Debra laughed.

Amy kissed Robert good-bye, "Bye, Yogi, be careful." They watched as Ray and Robert walked out the front door.

Debra looked at Amy, "Alright Amy, fire up the DVD player, let's catch some eye candy."

Amy laughed as she put in the movie and went to the kitchen to make popcorn.
