Mark pulled on his dress shirt and buttoned it up. Olivia came in the room with a newspaper and a coffee cup.
"Well you sure are relaxed" Mark looked over at her as she got into bed again. He grabbed his holster and pulled it on.
"I have the day off and the kids aren't awake yet. I think I deserve some relaxing" She opened the newspaper and looked over it.
He sat down by her and took a sip of her coffee "You're still in your jammies mommy"
Olivia smiled and looked up at him "My jammies?"
"Yes. It's a word"
"I know it's a word it's just a funny word coming from a federal agent," She teased as she gave him a kiss.
"Don't mock me"
"I'm not mocking you, I'm making fun of you," She said with a smile.
He gave her a kiss "Glad we cleared that up" he got off the bed and grabbed his blazer "I have to go. We have a new agent coming in today"
"Are you going to intimidate him?" Olivia asked with a small smirk.
"Yes. I love how everyone is intimidated by me except for you and Casey. I find that very funny." He smirked and tucked his shirt in.
Olivia rolled her eyes and returned back to her newspaper "We know you the best"
He nodded and put his badge on "Let me get a kiss and I have to go" He walked over to her.
Olivia gave him a kiss "Love you. Be careful"
"I will. Want to come and visit me today at work?"
"I'll see if the kids are in the mood," She answered as she gave him another kiss.
"Ok. I have to go. Love you" He put his tie over his neck and left the room. He went to each of the twin's room and gave them a kiss as they slept and then went to Lilly's room and gave her a kiss on the head.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad pulled on his blazer and left the room. Ben was eating his cereal and Casey was looking through a file.
"Hey guys. I have to go" He gave Ben a kiss on the head and kissed Casey.
Casey got off her chair "I'll walk you out"
"Sure" He put his holster on and gave Ben another kiss on the head "Say something"
"Bye" Ben smiled up at him.
"Alright good enough shy man. Take care of mommy ok?"
"I will" Ben nodded and returned to his breakfast.
Casey and Brad walked out and closed the door behind them. "Be careful ok?" Casey whispered as she hugged him.
"I will. I'm in the office today all day anyway. I'm getting a new partner" he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Know anything about him?"
"He is from North Carolina I think. Southern guy"
Casey smiled a little "If he has an accent don't make fun of him"
"I wont" He rolled his eyes and kissed her on the cheek "I have to go before I'm late."
"Ok. Love you" She gave him a kiss and let go of him.
"You too" He let go of her and went down the hall.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark sat in his office looking over at the new agents file. He repeated his name over and over in his head for some reason. Dakota Jones. Agent Dakota Jones. He looked up at the younger man sitting across from him.
He had short brown hair. Bright blue eyes and a fit body. He almost had a cocky smile but rarely showed it. Mark heard he already flirted with some female agents and they were drooling over him.
"So Mr. Jones have you met your new partner?" Mark asked looking up at him.
"No. All I heard is that he is your top agent" Dakota answered as he straightened his tie.
"Yea. Agent Stewart" Mark answered as he got up and went to the door. "Are you married Dakota?"
"No sir"
"Girlfriend?"
"No sir"
Mark nodded and opened his door "Stewart my office!"
Brad was standing by someone's office and looked over. He excused himself from the other agent and walked to Mark's office. "Yea?"
"Brad Stewart meet your new partner Dakota Jones" Mark introduced as he sat back down in his seat.
Dakota got up and shook hands with Brad "Nice to meet you"
Brad nodded "You too Dakota" he smiled a little. He could already hear the southern accent from his partners talking.
"My name amuses you?" Dakota asked with a serious face.
Mark looked at two but said nothing.
Brad smirked "Just a little partner"
"Show him around" Mark spoke up.
Brad nodded "Sure. C'mon" He walked out of the office.
Dakota nodded at Mark and then followed Brad.
"Your desk" Brad pointed to a desk in a cubical. "My office" he pointed to a closed door. "If you need anything I'm there most of the time or Anderson's office"
"What's the captain like?"
"Married with kids. Very protective so whatever you do don't talk about his wife."
Dakota nodded and looked at his desk "How long have been a fed?"
"About…maybe eight years." Brad answered, "I have some papers to finish but if you need anything just ask"
Dakota nodded and sat down in his chair. Brad went into his office and closed the door behind him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Casey and Olivia walked down the hall. Brad's sister was watching all the kids so only the girls came to the federal building.
Both spotted the stranger sitting at one of the desks. They knew all the agents but this one they never seen.
Casey nudged Olivia in the shoulder and looked at the blue-eyed man. Olivia smiled a little since he was extremely attractive.
"I'm going to see Mark" Olivia said with a smirk when they reached Brad's door. Casey just nodded as Olivia went down the hall.
Casey opened Brad's door but he wasn't there. She turned around and looked at the stranger "Excuse me do you know where Agent Stewart is?"
Dakota looked up and smiled a little at the redhead "No. Can I help you?" He asked taking glances at her tight jeans that showed off her butt.
Casey couldn't resist not smiling back at the cute smile she received "I was just looking for him but thanks"
Dakota got up and came into Brad's office "He was here a couple of minutes ago. Maybe he jumped out the window"
Casey heard his southern accent and didn't even realize that this could have been her husband's new partner. "He does a lot of things but flying he lacks"
"Who said anything about flying?" Dakota asked with a cocky smile and leaned on the door making it closed behind his back. "Agent Dakota Jones"
"Casey Novak"
"Nice to meet you Casey Novak" He went around her and sat on Brad's desk. "I could be Brad if you want" he crossed his arms on his pumped chest.
Casey smiled a little at him "Not really." She moved to her husband's desk to get a picture of her and Brad from their wedding that she knew he kept on his desk. Dakota moved a little to the side and now he was two inches away from her lips.
"You have nice lips," he whispered as he licked his own full lips.
Casey put her hair behind her ears feeling uncomfortable how close he was. She tried to move away but something about his eyes made her not move a muscle.
Dakota put her hair behind her other ear "And very nice red hair" He whispered "Beautiful" he said quietly as he took her hand off the framed photo.
They heard the door open and Brad was standing there with a box of files in his hands "What the hell is going?" he asked looking at the two. Dakota was sitting on his desk and holding Casey's hand. Both were extremely close to each other's face.
Casey quickly looked over at her husband and moved away from the stranger "Nothing. I was just looking for you"
Brad threw the box on his desk angrily. He looked at Dakota who still had his cocky smile on and still checking out Casey. "Get out of my office"
He nodded and got up "Hope to see you again Casey Novak"
Brad stepped in front of him "What did you just say?"
"Problem?" Dakota asked looking at him.
"Big one" Brad answered and slugged him as hard as he could. Dakota practically flew out of the office and landed on the floor. Everyone looked up at what just happened. One agent got up and went to Mark's office.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia had her arms around Mark's neck and kept kissing his cheek to annoy him. She quickly stepped away hearing his door open.
"Stewart just hit his new partner," The agent informed him.
Mark quickly got up and went out of his office. He spotted Agent Jones on the floor and holding his nose as it bled.
He walked down the hall with Olivia following him. He could hear Casey and Brad yelling in the office with the door closed. Mark looked around at all of his agents "Get back to work and someone move Jones off the floor"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What the hell do you think your doing!" Brad yelled at her.
"I did nothing!" Casey yelled at him "He hit on me not the other way around Brad!"
"You couldn't move away?" He started to pace around "If I didn't come in you would have gladly screwed him on my desk huh?"
"Screw you Brad! What do you think I'm some slut who opens her legs for any guy?"
"What the hell were you doing in my office with the door closed then!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark grabbed the extra key he had of Brad's office and unlocked it. He quickly went in and Olivia followed. He closed the door behind him before anybody could hear the couple fighting.
Mark tried to calm Brad down and Olivia was trying to calm Casey down but it wasn't working.
"When someone hits on you, you move away!" Brad yelled at her.
"I did nothing wrong!" Casey yelled back.
"I really hope you aren't this friendly in the DA's office to screw every guy cause I'm not around there to interrupt your flirting session with some southern asshole you slut!"
Casey tried to hit him but Olivia was holding her back.
Mark grabbed Brad by the shirt and pushed him out of the door "Time to cool off"
"Bastard!" Casey yelled after him.
Brad got lose from Mark's grip and hit a wall with his fist angrily.
Dakota was sitting at his desk holding an ice pack to his nose. "Was that your girlfriend?"
"She's my wife you fucking red neck!" Brad tried to swing at him again but Mark grabbed his arm and kept pulling him to his office.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Casey kept pacing around the office angrily "I'm going to kill him"
"Relax"
"I hate him. I want a divorce"
"After one fight? Trust me I went down that road. It sucks" Olivia placed her hand on her shoulder "Let him cool off."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad kept trying to leave Mark's office but Mark kept pushing him away from the door.
"I want to kill him. Let me go!"
"No" Mark shook his head and leaned on the door "Breath. Relax"
"Screw you Mark!" Brad yelled at him "You and your fucking calming thing! You cheated on your wife!"
Mark crossed his arms on his chest and kept calm knowing that Brad was just mad and needed to fume his anger at someone. "Yes I did"
"She's a whore"
"No she's not and you know that"
"He is an asshole"
"Probably" Mark nodded "Cool off"
"I don't want to cool off! I want to hurt one of them!"
"No you don't" Mark shook his head "Hit my desk if you feel better"
"Get out of my way"
"Nope"
Brad started to pace around "In my office of all places."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I did nothing wrong Olivia" Casey wiped her eyes "I wouldn't cheat on Brad"
"I know" Olivia nodded "Let him cool off and you'll be fine"
"He called me a slut. I'm going to hurt him so badly"
"You should"
"I need some air. I'm going to the roof"
Olivia just nodded.
Casey went out and ignored the looks she got from the other agents. She went up the stairs to the rooftop and just sat on the ledge staring at the sky.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm calm. Let me go" Brad crossed his arms on his chest. Mark kept looking at him. "Please?"
Mark moved out of the way "Make her cry and I'm going to hurt you so badly."
Brad nodded and went out of his office. He went to his office but Casey wasn't there "Where is she?" He asked looking at Olivia.
"Rooftop."
Brad nodded and went up the stairs to the rooftop. He spotted Casey sitting there. He took off his blazer and walked behind her. He gently put it over her.
Casey turned around and looked at him. She said nothing as he leaned on the ledge by her "I'm not apologizing. I did nothing wrong"
Brad nodded "Ok."
Casey turned around and got off the ledge. She slapped him across the face as hard as she could. "Don't you ever call me a slut again"
Brad held his cheek as it burned with pain "Ok"
Casey just kept looking at him "You're such a jerk sometimes"
"I know," he said quietly.
"I'm going if that's all your going to say"
"Wait…" He spoke up "I'm…I'm…sorry"
"I would never cheat on you"
He took her in a hug "I know…I'm sorry that I called you a slut but I'm not sorry for anything else"
Casey just nodded into his chest "He started to hit on me. I wouldn't have done anything I promise"
"So much for a new partner"
"He was your partner?"
"Yea" he answered as he kissed her on the head "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I need you, you know that. I just can't imagine another man having you."
"No one else is going to have me you know that. You're my husband and that's the way it will be."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night Olivia was washing the dishes as the kids played with the puppy in the living room. Mark came in from the back door and slammed the door shut. Olivia jumped getting startled "What's wrong?"
"Nothing" he answered angrily and went to straight to their room. Olivia turned the water off and wiped her hands. She followed him and quietly closed the door behind her.
"Want to talk about it?" She asked quietly as she leaned on the door watching him pace around.
"There's nothing to talk about" he answered as he pulled his tie down and threw it on the bed angrily.
Olivia watched him knowing something was pissing him off "Mark honey what's wrong?"
"They wont let me transfer Agent Dakota Jones" Mark answered. Mimicking his name.
"Why not?"
"I asked for a transfer and they have no more room in other division for top cases in the country. Washington is already overfilled. So he has to be Brad's partner until they find a place for him"
"Well then Brad will just have to deal with. He is a grown man you shouldn't worry about this"
Mark punched the wall behind him angrily "I don't want my record as captain being smudged because of those two idiots. I have a perfect record. If my agents fight it goes on me"
Olivia walked over to him and took him in a hug "Talk to them. They are grown men. If they cant stand each other then they will just have to deal with it"
Mark hugged her "I hate this" he mumbled into her shoulder.
"Aww I know baby" Olivia gave him a kiss on the cheek "I hate this too cause you hate it"
He smiled a little "Thanks. I'm going to make those two sit in a diner until they work it out" he let go of her "I'll be back soon ok?"
Olivia rolled her eyes "Fine. Don't be long though. We need you at home also"
He nodded and gave her a kiss "Love you" he grabbed his blazer and went out of the room. He gave each of the kids a kiss on the head and went out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Casey was sitting on the couch watching a movie and Brad was lying down with his head on her lap and Ben lying on his chest.
"How come the fish can't remember?" Ben asked as he kept his eye on Finding Nemo.
"We never figured it out," Brad answered as he stroked the back of his hair. Ben just nodded. "Did you have fun with Lilly today?"
Ben looked up at him with a mean look. "No!"
Casey smiled and kissed Ben on the head "He is just teasing you honey"
"I should tease you for kissing mommy. She's a girl and you kiss her" Ben made a disgusting face.
Brad lifted him up in the air "How about I just throw you away huh?
"You can try" Ben smiled down at him "Mommy will hurt you cause she likes me better then you"
"Oh mean" Brad smiled and started to tickle him. They heard a knock on the door. "I got it" he put Ben down on the couch and went to the door. He opened it and Mark was standing there "What's up?"
"Can you come with me to a coffee shop down the street?" Mark asked.
"Why?"
"I need to talk you about what happened today"
Brad looked weirdly at him and nodded. He grabbed his leather Harley Davidson jacket and pulled it on "Casey I'm with Mark. I'll be back soon"
Casey turned around from the couch and noticed Mark there "Hey Mark"
"Hey" he waved a little.
Ben stood on the couch and waved at Mark "Hi"
"Hi Ben" Mark smiled back "Ready to go?"
Brad nodded and followed him out "What's going on? I'm I getting fired or something?"
"No" Mark shook his head "I like Casey too much to do that to you"
Brad just nodded uncomfortably.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They went into a diner and Brad immediately saw Dakota sitting there sipping on coffee.
"What is he doing here?" Brad asked looking at Mark.
"I called him" Mark answered and pointed to the table.
Brad took a deep breath and walked over. "How's your nose?"
Dakota didn't look up from his coffee "How's your wife?"
"That's it I'm out of here" Brad turned to leave but Mark gave him a look. He turned around and sat down across Dakota at the table.
Mark sat down by Brad "Ok I know you two don't like each other but there isn't anything I could do."
"What about transferring him out?" Brad asked.
"I am here" Dakota spoke up "You don't have to talk like I'm not here"
"Relax cowboy" Brad rolled his eyes.
"Funny aren't you?"
"I'm a regular comedian" Brad smiled a little at him.
Mark took a deep breath "There isn't place for top cases division anywhere in the country"
"Hear that Dakota you pissed off the whole nation" Brad smirked at him.
"Screw you" Dakota rolled his eyes.
"Something you wont get a chance to do with my wife"
"You two are still partners" Mark spoke up louder "Like it or not you have to get along" Neither man said anything. "If you fight with each other again I will suspend both of you and you can count on that. Understood?" Both nodded. "Dismissed"
Brad got off his chair "Hey Dakota?"
"What?"
"Think twice before you touch my girl next time"
Dakota just smiled and got off his chair. He said nothing and left the diner.
"See you tomorrow boss" Brad waved at Mark and went outside.
Mark just nodded not caring what they did when they were off work time. He got up and headed home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad walked outside and started going to his apartment.
"Hey Stewart!"
He stopped and turned around at who yelled his name. Dakota was walking over to him. "What do you want?"
"Next time you hit me is the time I sleep with Casey Novak" He winked at him and displayed his cocky smile. "Don't even think about hitting me again"
"You think you scare me?" Brad asked with a smile "Please. I can have you fired"
"I bet you and Mark tie each other up and decide who's job your going to ruin next. Which one has the bigger dick to suck huh?"
"Aw what's wrong you homophobic? You're so southern it's pathetic Dakota"
"You better watch what you say to me boy"
"What's wrong you want to hit me?" Brad smirked "I have the longer history with the bureau. You hit me and they will fire you before they suspend me."
Dakota just nodded "I'm pretty sure you would gladly get on your knees for your job"
"We'll see who's going to be on their knees"
Dakota let out a small chuckle "You're wife will be when I'm fucking her. Hey Brad is she a screamer?"
Brad's smile faded and he looked down at him. "You don't talk about her if this partnership is going to work. You don't so much as say her name. When she visits me you will walk away and not say a word. You understand me you son of a bitch?"
"Loud and clear" He smiled a little "But hopefully she can keep away from me. She was kind of getting excited when I hit on her."
Brad grabbed the back of his neck and slammed him against the brick wall "The only reason I'm not braking your body in half right now is because Mark is a good friend of mine and I'm not going to put his job on the line because of some little frat boy like you."
"Screw you. You better let go of me."
"You don't talk about my wife. You insult me but don't you dare talk about her" Brad pressed his knee in his back "I will run you and your career straight into the ground if you even think about my wife. Do you understand me?"
Dakota let out a groan as Brad pushed his face more on the brick "You're making a mistake. A big one boy"
Brad pushed him on the ground and fixed his leather jacket. "See you at work partner" he purposefully said the last word in a southern accent.
Dakota let out a cough and lay on the ground.
"Welcome to New York cowboy" Brad winked at him and walked away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad came into the apartment and the TV was off. Casey came out of Ben's room and quietly closed the door. "I just got him to sleep," She said as she walked over to him.
Brad just nodded as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Where did you and Mark go?" Casey asked as she took pulled his jacket off.
"Diner" he answered.
"Everything ok?"
He thought for a second and then nodded "Great"
Casey nodded and held his jacket in one hand and took his hand in her other. She led him to their bedroom and closed the door behind them "I like how this jacket looks on you"
He smiled a little and leaned on the door. "Really?"
"Yup" She nodded and started to kiss him on the lips.
He pulled away "I'm not in the mood tonight"
"What?"
"I'm sorry"
Casey just nodded and stepped away from him "That's ok"
He nodded and bit his lip. He didn't want to tell her that her and Dakota together was getting in his head and he was starting to worry since he didn't trust his new partner.
"Maybe another time" Casey said with a small smirk and put his leather jacket down.
He nodded again and took his belt off "I'm sorry"
"It's fine Brad. We don't have to have sex all the time" She took her shirt off and started to get ready for bed.
"I want to…I just…" he shook his head and took his shirt off.
"Just what?"
He shook his head again "Nothing"
"What is it?"
"I can't get the picture of you and Dakota together out of my head" He answered "I'm sorry"
"Wow!" Casey took a step back "Ew. No. I would never-"
"I know that's what's so crazy about this. I can't get that image out of my head" he threw his hands up in the air.
"What are you scared I'm going to sleep with him?"
"No. I…well-"
"Hey!" She yelled before he could finish.
"I don't trust him that's all. I trust you though," He answered. "This isn't about you…well it sort of is but not really. I don't trust him and I don't trust me"
"What do you mean you don't trust yourself?"
"If he hits on you I'm scared I'm going to kill him. I don't want to be like Mark! I'm not that crazy!" He yelled out.
Casey smiled a little and nodded. "Ok. Let's just go to bed. No sex. No images of Dakota"
He nodded and took a deep breath "You know Mark seems like a good guy to be but he isn't"
Casey got under the sheets "I know honey. God help Olivia"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia got out of bed and wrapped the bedsheet around her. It was almost one o'clock. She went to the kitchen wondering what was taking Mark so long to get food after they made love.
She spotted him at the freezer with the door open and he was reading the back of an ice cream carton. "What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Experiment" He answered.
"What experiment at one in the morning?" She whispered as she held her bed sheet up.
"I'm trying to see if my penis gets cold after sex if he will want more sex" He answered as he put the ice cream back. "I'm reading an ice cream carton cause it's sort of boring just to stand here by the freezer"
Olivia looked at him and buried her face in her hands "Oh god"
"What?" he asked with a shrug of the shoulders "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You're worse then a high school student" She whispered as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Correction. I didn't have sex in high school so I couldn't do this experiment. People thought I was the dork" He said the last sentence sort of disappointedly.
"I wonder why" Olivia rolled her eyes and closed the freezer door. She caught his bedsheet when she shut it.
"At least it was only the bedsheet," He whispered with a smile.
Olivia opened the door and moved his bedsheet away and then closed it again "You're so weird"
"That's why you love me. Elliot wouldn't do these experiments. He is too manly. I bet he is the type of guy to fall asleep after sex"
Olivia nodded and wrapped his arms around her stomach "Bed time"
Mark nodded and walked with her. They got into the bedroom and he closed the door behind him.
"We need to stop having so much sex. It's unhealthy" Olivia thought out loud.
Mark looked at her "What? Are you trying to kill me? It's like giving me viagra and then not having sex with me. Just cruel and cold"
"Cold like your penis?" Olivia teased with a smirk and sat on the bed to get ready for bed.
He sat down on the other side "He isn't cold. He is cool. But I think my experiment worked. I'm in the mood for sex again" he quickly moved to her side "Hi baby"
Olivia chuckled and pushed him on the bed "No"
"Aww c'mon. When I get rich because of this experiment I'm pretty sure you will want sex." He kissed her cheek "Sexy mama. I'm like an energizer bunny now. I can go for hours and no viagra needed. I just saved us money when we get old."
Olivia rolled her eyes and pulled her tank top on "You could go for hours either way. You're like a teenage boy stuck in a federal agent's body." She looked down at his muscular, tan body "And I'm not complaining"
"I'll invent something to keep you going for hours if you want" He smiled and pulled her down on the bed "I'm like a sexy Einstein" he kissed her neck and moved on top of her. "You could be my secretary. Why do you think his hair was always messy? He was having sex with his secretary all the time cause he was inventing things for sex like me"
Olivia burst out laughing. "Ok stop"
"What? I'm serious. We don't know who invented the vibrator." He grinned and took his bedsheet off "C'mon lets invent something. Not a baby cause we already have like...what…twelve kids?"
"Funny. We just had sex. Enough for tonight"
"Damn girl" he moved down her body and kissed her stomach "Don't support your man in his inventations."
"C'mon stop" She ran her hand through his hair.
Mark grinned and pulled himself back up "Let's go to the candy shop and you can lick my lollipop and shake your laffy taffy"
Olivia burst out laughing, "Stop making me laugh. I need to sleep"
"Sleep. Go ahead. But you know you want to kiss me now"
She grabbed the back of his neck and pressed her lips to his "Just cause I love you"
"Oh I liked that" he gave her a kiss and got off her. "So lucky I believe you that you are tired cause I know I wore you out"
"Oh honey I'm tired when I just look at you" She teased as she pulled her panties on.
Mark slammed his head on the bed "No" He whined.
Olivia giggled and kissed him on the head "Let's sleep"
He got off the bed and grabbed his boxers. He pulled them on and got in bed "I am in the mood for sex. I shouldn't have done that experiment"
"You always have to learn the hard way don't you?" Olivia teased with a smirk.
"I know. No more trying to make Mr. Junior cold."
"Good" Olivia gave him a kiss and rested her head on his chest. "Goodnight"
"Goodnight my love" He gave her a kiss and held her. A couple of minutes later they heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Mark mumbled sleepily.
"Lilly."
"What's wrong honey?" Olivia called over.
"I wet my bed"
Olivia looked up at Mark "You're turn"
He got off the bed and opened the door. "Come on honey" he picked her up "Oh you're all wet"
"I told you" The four year old responded.
"I know" Mark nodded. "Mommy you change her and I will change the sheets" he put Lilly back down and went out of the room.
Olivia got off the bed and took Lilly. She took off her pajamas and her shirt. Mark came back in the room with Lilly's clothes and gave it to Olivia. Olivia changed her into dry clothes and threw the wet clothes into the laundry bin.
Mark came back into the room "All done"
"Thanks daddy"
"Aw of course honey" He picked her up again and held her in his arms "Anything for you"
"Read me a story cause I can't fall asleep now"
"Ok I'll read you a story" He gave her a kiss "Give mommy a kiss" He let Lilly lean over and kissed Olivia on the cheek. "Hey mommy didn't you hear that Lilly is bringing sexy back?"
The four year old burst into giggles as she rested her head on Mark's bare shoulder.
Olivia smiled a little and got into bed "Stop making her laugh. She wont be able to fall asleep"
Mark made a funny face at Olivia and kissed Lilly on the head "Want to fly or be a bat?"
"Bat" Lilly answered. Mark turned her over and held her by her ankles. "Goodnight mommy"
Olivia smirked and waved at the little girl as Mark carried her out of the room and into her own by her legs. He put her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket.
"I'm not in the mood for a story tonight. Can I have Sparky here tonight?" Lilly asked as Mark kneeled down by her.
"No because you will play with him and you wont fall asleep and mommy will yell at me." He winked at her and tucked her in "You have to sleep."
"But I'm not sleepy"
"You will be in the morning when I wake you up extra early for not sleeping now" He gave her a kiss on the cheek and moved her hair behind her ears.
"Can I get Ice cream tomorrow?"
"Only if you fall asleep right away."
"Ok. Goodnight"
Mark
gave her a kiss on the head and got off the floor "Goodnight
sweetheart" He whispered and left her room. He closed the door and only
left it open a little bit so some light came in.
He went back to his room and closed the door behind him. He got in bed
with Olivia and wrapped his arms around her waist from the back.
"She fell asleep?" Olivia asked sleepily with her eyes still closed as she put her hands over his.
"She will." He answered as he gave her a kiss on the cheek "Goodnight babe"
"Goodnight"
