Wedded Bliss

After getting the room key they took the elevator to the third floor. Link grabbed Tracy and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Her hands clung to the back of his jacket as his encircled her waist. They still remained in that position as the elevator doors opened on their floor. They parted only after hearing a loud cough from an older woman looking to get on the elevator. Tracy smiled at her as she took Link's hand.

"Let's go to our room shall we?" she asked.

"Yes, lets," he answered smiling.

They walked hand in hand to the door. Link stopped and Tracy looked at him thinking that he was just going to get the key from his pocket. Instead he swept her off her feet. Tracy instinctively wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Linky what are you doing!?"

"I'm carrying you across the threshold."

She looked at him then at herself in his arms. "Are you sure you can handle me?"

Link nodded then winked. "I'm sure. You're not too heavy."

Tracy grinned actually liking being carried by Link. "Oh alright."

Before he grabbed her he swiftly grabbed the key so it rested in his right palm. He took the key and opened the door letting it swing open. She wrapped her arms tighter around him and leaned in to capture his lips as they stepped across the threshold. Link kicked the door shut as he stepped inside the suite. After another kiss he gently placed Tracy down immediately wrapping his arms around her again to keep her close. Her hands never moved from around his neck. He leaned down and seized her lips again in a French kiss. Link started moving her to the bedroom but before she allowed him to lay her down Tracy stopped and put a finger to his lips.

"Go sit on the bed."

Link nodded and sat.

Tracy's eyes scanned the room where she noticed a coupon on the bedside table. She walked over and picked it up.

She showed it to him. "Look Linky a coupon for breakfast in bed for two."

Link grinned at Tracy. "Let's use it tomorrow."

She nodded. "Yeah."

"Wait here," she added. He nodded as she placed the coupon back on the table.

Tracy went to her suitcase and pulled out a couple items before walking into the bathroom. Link stared at the bathroom door waiting for her to reappear. While he waited he removed his jacket and tie and took off his shoes.

"Are you ready Linky?"

Link grinned. "Yes ma'am."

Tracy opened the door and walked into the bedroom wearing a red bathrobe. She walked towards Link. He stood and met her halfway. She leaned up and captured his lips. He eagerly kissed her back as he grazed his tongue across her bottom lip. She quickly gave him access only deepening the kiss further. Link's hands went to her waist where he untied her bathrobe. He ended the kiss and glanced down to see that she was wearing dark blue lingerie that hugged her in all the right places, making her look sexy. As Link's eyes glanced up and down her body Tracy noticed that his mouth was open and that had begun to drool. She giggled softly as she closed his mouth.

"Does papa like?" she asked innocently already knowing the answer.

"Oh papa like."

Tracy giggled again seeing that her robe's untied. "Linky you're such a bad boy."

He smiled mischievously. "I know."

Tracy motioned to the chair on the other side of the room. "Now Mr. Larkin please sit down in that chair."

Link looked at her curiously but did as he was told. "What do you have in mind Mrs. Larkin?"

Tracy moved to Link and gently sat on his lap so that her legs straddled his. She began moving seductively rubbing herself up and down his body in a teasing manner. She even made sure to move so that her breasts were in front of his face as if to say "I know you want these". Link moved his hands and placed them on her breast, squeezing them.

"Oh Mrs. Larkin you're such a tease."

Tracy smiled at him seductively. "I know."

She continued slowing moving her whole body giving him a lap dance. Needing to touch her lips Link pulled her close and French kissed her. She quickly responded and put her hands in his hair to move his face closer to her. His hands held tightly to the back of her lingerie holding her near. They only parted for need of oxygen.

Breathing heavily Link smiled. His eyes sparkled with lust. "There's nothing better than your sexy wife giving you a lap dance."

Tracy gently brushed her lips against his. "I'm glad that you liked it."

He gazed into her eyes. "Can I have another tomorrow?"

Tracy nodded. "Yes, maybe even later."

She moved to get off his lap but Link didn't allow her. Instead he started kissing her lips and cheek and moving down her neck. She giggled as he nibbled it. He then placed soft kisses on her shoulder as he pushed the bathrobe off of them. He then kissed her again before scooping her up and placing her on the bed. He got on the bed and she grabbed his collar to pull him to her lips. As their tongues mingled together Tracy helped him unbutton his shirt. He broke the kiss and took it off throwing it in the chair they had sat in moments ago. He then took his pants off throwing them in the chair. Tracy's hands rubbed his chest and he leaned down and seized her lips in a passionate kiss. They slipped under the covers and Link slid her lingerie up and over her head tossing it in the direction of his clothes. He nibbled on her neck again making her giggle before moving to her breasts. He lingered there and nibbled her soft flesh as she whimpered. He wiggled out of his underwear before French kissing her again.

Once satiated they fell asleep in each others arms.

The next morning Tracy awoke first as the sun shone threw the curtains. She smiled at seeing Link so peaceful. His arm was protectively around her stomach. She wiggled out of his grasp as gently as she could as not to wake him. She then grabbed her lingerie and slipped into it before walking into the bathroom. Link awoke several minutes later and felt around for Tracy not finding her. He sat up and looked around the room where he noticed the bathroom door was closed. He grabbed his underwear and put it on before standing. He walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door. Tracy opened it and smiled. Link smiled back as he swooped her up and captured her lips in a deep kiss.

"Morning Mrs. Larkin."

Tracy kissed him again. "Morning Mr. Larkin."

"How are you feeling today angel?"

She smiled. "Ready to start our first day as husband and wife."

Link cupped her cheek. "So am I." he leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers.

"And how is our little one doing this morning?" He asked as he kneeled down and kissed her stomach. With his hand on her stomach the baby kicked.

"The baby kicked," he said smiling.

Tracy smiled then giggled. "I guess she's telling you good morning. She's doing fine by the way."

Link looked up at her. "And what makes you so sure we are having a girl?"

"Call it mother's intuition."

Link was about to say something when her stomach growled.

He chuckled. "I think its time to use that breakfast coupon."

Tracy nodded. He followed her back to the bed where she found the menu.

"What do you want doll?"

"Blueberry waffles, sausage and milk to drink," she quickly answered.

"Sounds good."

He picked up the phone and placed two orders of blueberry waffles, sausages and milk. Tracy was lying back on the mattress and snaking her arm around Link pulled him next to her. She then turned her head and placed a sweet kiss on his lips. She then snuggled into him as both his arms wrapped around her. They stayed like that until they heard a knock at the door. Link kissed her forehead before standing and putting a bathrobe on.

"I'll be right back."

Tracy nodded as she watched him go to the living area of the suite. She heard him open the door and talk to the waiter then hearing the cart full of food being brought in. The door closed and Link reappeared pushing a tray with covered plates on it. Tracy's mouth began to water as he positioned the tray oh her side of the bed. He placed a tray that had been provided over her lap with the plate full of food and the glass of milk. He picked up his own tray and sat besides her. Once the tray was positioned over his lap they dug in. Link took the trays and placed them back on the cart after they finished. He then sat besides her again.

"What do you want to do today?" he asked.

Tracy thought for a moment. "We could go for a walk or to the museum or to the movies or just stay in bed."

"I like the last one," Link told her.

Tracy smiled. "hmm though I like that one too we can get back into bed later. Let's go walk around the museum."

Link sighed but nodded. "Alright."

They got up and after showering together got dressed. Since Link didn't have his car they took a taxi to the museum and toured the rooms which were full of paintings and sculptures.

Tracy leaned up and captured his lips as they stopped in front of a painting of a family.

"We should bring the kids here some day," she said.

Link grinned. "We will, but I don't think either are at an age where they'd appreciate art."

"No, they aren't."

They returned in the evening and sat on the couch. Tracy kicked off her shoes and leaned against Link's shoulder. Tracy moaned softly.

"What's the matter Trace?"

"My feet are sore."

"Here give them to me."

She positioned herself so that her feet were in his lap. He started massaging her right foot and soon moved to her left. Tracy groaned happily. He finished as she sat up but cringed at her shoulders and neck bothering her.

Link looked at her worriedly.

"My neck and shoulders," she told him.

He nodded and moved his hands to where her neck and shoulders met. He began to rub his fingers gently loosening up the muscles. As he did so he leaned over and placed sweet kisses up and down her neck making Tracy giggle. She turned her body making Link cease the massage and placed her hand behind his neck. She pulled him to her and placed a kiss on his lips.

"Thank you Linky for the massage."

"If this is the reward I get for giving you a massage then I'll be happy to give you one again."

She smiled as he kissed her again. "You haven't seen anything yet Mr. Larkin."

Link watched curiously as she straddled him beginning to gyrate. She kissed his neck and cheeks then lips as she did so. With one swift movement Link swept her up and carried her into the bedroom and gently placed her on the mattress. He got on the bed so that he was atop of her. He captured her lips in a French kiss. While kissing they unbuttoned or unzipped shirts, pants and skirts throwing them to the floor. He moved his lips from hers and placed sweet kisses down her chin and neck where he lingered nibbling it. Tracy giggled and Link grinned at her reaction and moved down until he came to her breasts. She whimpered as he nibbled it. She moved so they were more upright. She then kissed his shoulders and chest making him moan happily. He maneuvered so that she was laying down again and captured her lips in a passionate kiss.

After making love they fell asleep in each others arms. The next two days were spent exploring parts of Baltimore that they hadn't seen and the nights exploring each other. Five days after the wedding they went home. Penny and Amber had moved out to Link's old placed but slept in their old rooms for the nights when they while they were gone so Robby could sleep in his own room. Jim ran and almost knocked Tracy over in an attempt to greet her. Luckily Link was behind her so she didn't fall. Jim licked her before being pulled back by Penny.

"Guessed he missed you," Amber stated.

Tracy nodded. "That would be my guess."

Jim then tried to jump on Link but after a slight scolding from Tracy he stopped and instead wagged his tail rapidly. Link and Tracy both scratched his head.

"Hi boy," they said in unison.

"Did you guys have a nice time in the suite?" Penny asked as she hugged them.

"It was incredible!" Tracy told her.

"How was Robby?" she then asked.

"He missed you but had fun hanging with us," Amber answered.

Link looked behind them. "Where is he?"

"Mama, dada!" they heard as Robby walked over to them finding Link first. He was holding his teddy bear.

Link picked him up. "Hey Robster."

Robby hugged him. "Dada I miss you!"

Link smiled. "I missed you too big guy."

Robby saw Tracy. "Mama!" he held his arms out.

Tracy took him from Link and kissed his forehead. He nuzzled into her blouse, holding her tight.

"I missed you Robby."

"Stay," he told her.

"Don't worry we're not going anyway anytime soon."

September and October passed quickly as Tracy and Link got used to married life. They also worked on the nursery for the new baby which was a little down the hall from Robby. One day Tracy's back was really bothering her. At nine months a baby can put a lot of strain on the lower back. She was lying on the bed trying to relax. Heather had Robby for the day, wanting to spend time with him. Link walked in and saw that she was uncomfortable despite lying there.

"Turn over Trace."

She did and Link lay next to her propping himself up on his elbow. He began rubbing her back gently while softly singing "It Takes Two" Tracy's muscles loosened under his touch and she seemed to relax just hearing his voice. She chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"The baby kicked. I think she likes your singing just as much as I do."

He smiled and started to sing again. The baby kicked again.

Tracy smiled. "You should sing this to her after she's born."

"What if she turns out to be a he?"

"Then you should still sing."

November fourteenth arrived. Tracy went to the studio to see Corny, Maybelle and the others. When she got to Corny's office she felt something between her legs.

"Corny! Maybelle! My water just broke!"

Corny quickly went to her. "Again what's with you going into labor at the studio?"

Tracy shrugged. "All I know is that I need to go to the hospital."

"Don't panic, I'll go get Maybelle and she'll drive you."

"I'm not panicking Corny, but thank you."

He nodded as he went to find Maybelle. He soon returned with her behind him.

"Okay sugar, remember to breathe. I'll go get the car."

"I'll call Link and the others once you're in the car," Corny told her.

Tracy nodded as she took a few breaths. Maybelle walked swiftly to the doors leading outside. Tracy followed slowly. Corny went with her. By the time they reached the door Maybelle was there standing by her car. She opened the door and helped Tracy inside. She then got in the driver's side. Tracy practiced her breathing as Maybelle swiftly drove to Baltimore General. She stopped in front of the entrance and quickly helped Tracy out. She helped her inside and immediately grabbed the receptionists attention.

"Help this woman is having a baby!"

The receptionist nodded and picked up the phone. A short few minutes later a nurse appeared with a wheelchair. Together with Maybelle they helped Tracy sit in it and the nurse began pushing her towards the elevator. They got off at the maternity floor and were shown into a room. Tracy was left alone to change into a hospital gown. She lay on the bed and another nurse, the same nurse who was there when Robby was born, walked in. She smiled at Tracy.

"Its nice to see you again Miss Turnblad."

"Actually it's Mrs. Larkin now."

"Oh is your husband Robby's father too?"

Tracy nodded. "He'll be here soon."

"My name is Alyson by the way."

"Nice to meet you."

Alyson took her vitals and hooked up the baby monitor then left and Maybelle came in the room.

"I called Corny. He said that Link, your parents, Penny and Amber along with Robby will be here soon. Link and Edna will come in while the others wait in the waiting room."

"Thanks Maybelle. I'm glad you're here."

"You're welcome Tracy."

A contraction came and Tracy's face contorted in pain. Maybelle moved to her side and Tracy grabbed her hand. Alyson came in a minute later with a cup full of ice chips. She handed it to Tracy and she put some in her mouth.

"I thought that you might need these," Alyson told her.

"Thank you."

The contraction subsided and she released her grip on Maybelle.

Tracy looked at her. "Sorry about that."

"Tracy don't worry. I did the same to my mama's hand when I was having both Seaweed and Inez."

Maybelle told her stories of her two labors to distract her from any pain she may have had. She also reminded Tracy to breathe. Ten minutes and a couple more contractions later Link arrived with Edna not far behind. They flew to either side of Tracy.

Maybelle was standing so Link could have her chair. "Now that Link is here I'll go wait with the others in the waiting room."

Tracy grinned even though she was in pain. "Alright thanks for keeping me company until he got here."

Maybelle smiled. "You're welcome honey."

Link kissed her forehead before sitting and taking her hand. "Hey cutie how are you feeling?"

Tracy frowned. "I'm in labor. How do you think I'm feeling?"

Edna noticed the cup. "Do you need more ice chips hun?"

Tracy nodded and Edna stood and took the cup. She then left the room. Dr. Rodgers came in moments later. He first checked the monitor and nodded.

"Hi Mrs. Larkin, I see you're ready to have this baby," he said trying to be funny.

"Yes," Tracy stated.

"Let me check to see how far along you are. Would you like your husband to stay?"

"Yes please and can he stay here for the entire time?"

"That's unusual for the husband to be in the room while his wife is having their baby but I guess it'll be alright."

Tracy smiled. "Thank you Dr. Rodgers."

He nodded then pulled up a stool to sit on so he could check her progress. Link looked at Tracy's face the entire time while rubbing circles on the back of her hand with his thumb.

"Well you're about two and a half centimeters so a while longer."

Edna came back in with the ice chips and handed them to Tracy.

"Dr. Rodgers says I'm at two and a half ugh" Tracy winced as another contraction hit. She dropped some ice in her mouth but they did little to help. She squeezed Link's hand.

"Centimeters," she finished.

"So a while longer," Edna said.

Tracy nodded.

"I can stay here. Trace doesn't want me to go," Link told Edna.

"That's good to hear."

Link nodded and placed a kiss on her hand.

He looked back at Tracy. "You look beautiful doll."

"I don't really but thank you," she replied.

Link knew not to argue with her. Five hours later Tracy was at six centimeters. She was given the option of an epidural and she took it. The anesthesiologist came in and gave it to her. The needle had to go in the spine.

About twelve hours into the labor Tracy was at ten centimeters. Dr. Rodgers, Alyson and another nurse were in the room. They positioned her bed so that she was sitting more upright to push. Link held one hand and Edna the other.

Dr. Rodgers looked at her. "Ok Tracy, take a deep breath and push."

She did what he said. She squeezed Link and Edna's hands as she pushed. She repeated the breathing and pushing a few more times.

Alyson smiled. "The baby's head is out."

Tracy's eyes widened.

"Push!" Dr. Rodgers told her.

She pushed again and again then she heard crying.

"It's a girl," he told them.

Dr. Rodgers looked to Link. "Would you like to cut the cord Mr. Larkin?"

Link nodded. He was handed the scissors and shown where to cut. He did so. Alyson took the baby so she could be cleaned off. The other nurse placed a towel. Alyson brought their daughter to Tracy.

"Here is your daughter."

"Hand her to Link Alyson."

Link looked at Tracy. "I insist that you go first."

Tracy shook her head. "I held Robby first so it's your turn to experience the joy of being the first one to hold a newborn."

"Oh alright," Link said.

He smiled as Alyson wrapped the baby in a towel and handed her to him.

"Now I have two lil darlins," Link said as he gazed upon his daughter for the first time.

"What's her name going to be?" Edna asked as Link handed her to Tracy.

"Margaret Tracy Larkin," Tracy answered.
