Chapter 61 Different
The next day at Killarney ...
After diner, which seems to be pretty much of a success, they had laid Aislin in her crib upstairs with the baby phone next to her. Sitting down on the couch in the living room they looked a bit uncomfortable at each other. 'So', Alex said, 'finally some quality time for us all alone.' Stevie nodded, but gazed in front of her. Alex stared at her. 'You're okay?' She turned her head immediately. 'Yeah yeah, it's just ... it's different.' 'It sure is', Alex moved closer and lay his arm around her.
'Now just relax.' Stevie almost laughed. 'Gosh Alex.' 'What?' 'I dunno it's just ... we're getting married, we have a daughter and this is just strange.' He gave her an odd look. 'It's a bit forced', she spoke softly. 'I'm not even doing anything. We don't do anything if you don't want to.' She stared in his blue eyes and started to shake her head. 'This is silly. I'm silly.' Alex had to smirk. She obviously was having her strange moment. 'Really it is.'
'You're so turning me on with this talk Steves', he said playfully, moving his arm back to start playing with her hair. 'Sorry', she looked a bit down. 'Don't be', he said sweetly, placing his other hand under her chin to make her look up. They gazed into each other's eyes. 'You're a bit tired', he remarked. She softly smiled at him. 'What if we just go to bed?' Alex asked. Stevie could see in his eyes he was serious about it and didn't have the intention to push her in any way, so she agreed.

Alex walked back in and saw her smiling softly at him. He lay down, leaned a bit over her. 'Comfy enough?', he asked caressing her cheek. She nodded a bit shy. He placed a kiss on her hair. He saw her smile grow and moved closer to kiss it.
Her arms reached for him and pulled him close. Being in his arms was always her favorite place. She kissed him back and a second later they slowly started to kiss, just enjoying each other's lips, going on for minutes. 'This is nice', she whispered against his lips. 'It sure is.' He moved on top of her and started to kiss her again, deeply, passionate, but mostly gentle. The sheets were having a hard time lying between them.
Alex moved his lips of her mouth and kissed her cheek and moved to her neck. Her fingers were softly brushing his back and neck. 'I love you Alex', she whispered. Alex looked up and she could see the twinkle in his eyes. 'I love you too.' He pulled the sheets slightly away and moved his hands to her shirt, starting to loosen the buttons. 'Alex', she said slowly. 'Yeah', Alex didn't look up. 'Can you move up?' He immediately looked at her, raising his upper body by leaning his hands on the bed, hearing his daughter ...
