A/N I don't own these characters, wish I did though...
butterflyV- Yeah, the Tony and Cecil thing will make sense in the next few chapters, I promise. And thank you for all the great feedback you've given me, a little bit of criticism about what H and Q did sometimes was way helpful. You actually helped write a few scenes:) Thanks!
shesXsuperXfreaky- Yep, I knew they were going to be back together, but it had to take a while. Hope it was worth it:D
KaliAnn- That's a very good summary for the chapter:) Yep, so Tony and Cecil will be making things more complicated but I think I'll give H and Q a little break before the drama really heats up again.
Idk- Mostly because this is rated T, LOL. But there will probably be a smut scene, just not very soon or a very graphic one, thanks!
JLluvr- Yeah, it was pretty confusing. I mean a few people know who I was talking about, but not everyone. Thanks for reviewing!
ChristinaWasHere- LOL, and sorry about that but it'll make sense later I promise. Glad you're happy, though:)
valevilandra- Yep, we needed more fluff with this story:) And the confusion, it'll all make sense soon, I promise!
Guest- You kidding, she'll be at least ninety when she's done, LOL. He-he, oh there are definitely more interesting things they could do than watch TV, but this IS rated T so I gotta tone the smut down a tad:( Ha, if they keep it up Bella will have a new sibling, maybe leaving them alone in bed wasn't so good, who knows what they'll do when I'm not writing this? Thanks for reviewing!
JezCul4646- Yay, I made people happy, LOL. Thanks!
Cooper101- Yeah, but it'll all make sense in the next few chapters, I promise.
Knight Watcher- Yep, the past just keeps coming back and biting them in the butt. But for now they get a break:)
GlassBirdNoir- Thanks, and I couldn't have Helena just jump back in the sack with him two seconds later, it just would be too OOC. Thanks for the Bella compliments, I try to write her as realistic as possible but not boringly so, OCs' are hard! Oh, what's a Mary-Sue, I kind of know, but I'm not totally sure:)
Helena woke up feeling a warm body next to hers.
Who the hell..? Oh yeah. She thought groggily as she began to wake up. She tiredly blinked her eyes and looked up at Vic. "Hey, you awake?" She yawned.
No response. "Vic?"
"Q?" Nada.
"Vic!" She snapped smacking him on the chest. She heard him grunt a noncommittal reply before turning over and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"What?" He mumbled into her hair.
"Get up, dummy!" She laughed.
"Why?" He yawned. "You're very comfortable."
"Glad you think so." She smirked. "Now come on."
"But I'm already up." He protested.
"Oh, yeah. Up and in bed. Don't you know that's a crime in some countries?"
"Thank God for America." He mumbled giving her neck a light kiss and pulling her close. "Why do you want to get up so bad anyways? Is being in bed with me so terrible?"
"Actually, it's the opposite." Helena admitted. "Which is why we need to get up. Because, let's face it; if we start kissing and laughing and touching alone in bed together somehow our clothes are gonna fall off and we're going to end up giving Bella that sibling she's always begging for. Besides, we agreed; no sex until the fifth date."
"So I suppose taking a shower together to get washed up is out of the question?"
"No dip, Sherlock."
"Just checking." He shrugged getting up. "Do you want to make something or just have cereal for breakfast?" He asked walking down the stairs.
"Uh, just coffee, I guess." Helena shouted following him down the stairs and into her kitchen.
"Okay." Q agreed beginning to make a pot. Helena looked at his wrinkled cloths, messed up hair, and sleepy face and smiled.
"What?" Vic asked wondering what was so funny.
"Just...I don't know. I never thought I'd see you in my kitchen making coffee after sleeping in my bed again." She explained.
"Me either." Vic admitted. "But I'm not complaining."
"Q, if we're going to try again then there are conditions."
Question thought about it for a few moments. "Such as?"
"Well, like I said before; No sex 'til the fifth date."
"Sounds reasonable." Vic nodded. "What else?"
"I don't want to tell Bella yet." Seeing his questioning gaze she explained, "It's just, I want to see of we can make it to five dates first and if we're really going to work out this time. After the fifth date, if we make it that far, we'll tell her."
"When we make it, we'll tell her." He agreed. "Go on."
"I don't really want Dinah to know either. I just don't think she'll understand until we give her some proof that we're good together. She didn't exactly think we were good for each other the first time, you know."
"Also understandable. Continue."
"I want you hanging around the house and spending time with Bella and me, okay? Not like just us hanging out but her too."
"Absolutely. Anything else?"
"Yeah, when you do spend the night for real try not to act to weird. Bella's smart and I don't want her to have nightmares about us in bed while we're...wrestling."
He snorted. "Alright. So..." He trailed off looking around the kitchen. "Are we still allowed to kiss?"
"Mm-Hm." She smiled.
"And...touch each other?"
"Depends on where you're touching." Helena smirked.
"Are we allowed to hold hands?"
Helena burst out laughing. "So, what, after you've made out with me and felt me up you want to hold my hand?"
"Well, I thought it was worth asking." He huffed defensively.
"Sorry." She laughed not remotely sorry. "But, yes, if it makes you happy we can hold hands and cuddle, you big baby."
"As long as I'm your baby." He conceded pulling her into his arms and kissing her.
"Yeah." She agreed snuggling into his arms.
"So we're not telling anyone?"
"No." Helena said thoughtfully. "Not yet. Is that okay?"
"I suppose."
"You sound so happy."
"I am, believe me." Vic assured her.
Helena looked up at him and smiled.
"I know."
"So why are both of you here again?"
"I, uh, spent the night." Vic explained.
Bella looked at them in surprise. "You had a sleepover?"
"Basically." Helena shrugged. "Except Daddy slept on the couch."
"Did you sleep with him?"
Helena ignored the first thought that popped into her head. Stupid perverted mind. "No, I slept in my room."
Bella thought about this for a few seconds. "Well that doesn't sound like a very fun sleepover. Did you even have a pillow fight?"
"No." Vic said quickly. "Besides, I don't think I stand a chance in a fight with your mother. Even if it is only with pillows."
"Got that right." Helena laughed.
"Did you play any games?"
"No!" Helena said quickly. Oh, wait, she's six and talking to her parents. She means board games, not the games Vic and I used to play when we had 'sleepovers'.
Q looked at his watch and announced, "I have to go to work."
"Bye Daddy!" Bella said sweetly giving him a hug before running off.
Helena pulled him forward by the tie and kissed him, smirking when she saw the goofy look on his face. "So, see you later?"
"Definitely." Vic said quickly. "But I can't believe we've gotten away with this so far."
"Hate to break it to you babe, but we haven't even started yet." She sighed. "But if she does find out, you know I'm going to say you seduced poor little me and I fell helplessly against whatever little common sense I have."
Question laughed. "Fine, but only if I get to say that we did have a pillow fight."
"Perv." Helena teased giving him a quick kiss.
"Love you too." Vic snorted.
"Now out! Dinah's gonna be here soon." Helen laughed patting his butt and pushing him out the door.
"I thought you said we weren't going to touch each other." Vic smirked.
"Did I?" Helena asked innocently.
"Do I get to touch you?"
"Maybe." Helena said coyly. "Depends on what you get me for dinner."
"Why Ms. Bertinelli, is that a bribe?" Vic asked in mock horror.
"Nah, but it is a promise." She smirked giving him one last kiss. "Later babe."
"Bye!" He called.
Helena walked into the living room still laughing.
"Mama, why are you so happy?" Bella asked in bewilderment.
"What, I'm not entitled to be in a good mood?"
"No, but you're usually kind of grumpy in the morning and when you're around Daddy. I mean, the two together should make you really mad but you're happy which is weird, but nice. Hey, if Daddy slept on the couch then why aren't there any blankets and why's it so cold? Shouldn't there be, like, a dent or something in it?"
"Um, I made him put the blankets away." Helena said quickly. Damn, she gets that sleuth stuff from Vic, not me, thank God.
A blue beam appeared in the living room. "Hey, what are you all doing?" Dinah asked. "Are you ready for practice?"
"Yep." Helen said cheerfully.
Dinah cocked an eyebrow, "You're in a good mood today."
"That's because her and Daddy had a sleepover." Bella smiled, oblivious to what she'd just implied.
Dinahs' eyebrows went up so high they touched her hair. "What?"
"Bella!" Helena exclaimed.
"What? That's what happened, right? You and Daddy slept together which is why you're so happy."
"Go to your room for a few minutes!" Helen yelped, horrified.
"Okay!" Isabella exclaimed in bewilderment, oblivious to what she'd done.
"So..." Helen started turning back to Dinah. "How was your night?"
"Well obviously not as great as yours!" Dinah snapped. "What the hell Helena, you're taking him back!"
"It's not like that!" Helen protested. "He came over because he got the day screwed up and couldn't go home since it was raining cats and dogs, so I let him sleep with me."
"So, what, if the Joker comes to you soaked and cold you'll spread your legs for him, too?"
"No! I meant that I let him sleep at my house! It just came out wrong! And shut up, mom, just because you're older doesn't mean you can tell me what to do!"
"So you did sleep with him?" Dinah exclaimed.
"He slept on my freaking couch, calm down." Helen sighed.
"Helena, listen, I'm your friend, okay? I want to protect you and look out for you, and I don't want you to get hurt again." Dinah explained.
"I know." Helena muttered. "But I'm a big girl, I make my own decisions. And no, we haven't had sex in, like, seven years, so relax."
"I'm sorry, I just don't like him that much." Dinah explained.
"I know, but try to get along, please?" Helena pleaded. "For Bella?"
"I'll try." Dinah sighed. "But only for Bella."
"That's all I ask." Helen grinned. "And if I do take him back, don't yell at me. Ollie's gotten way more second chances than he deserves and he hurt you really bad to all those times."
"It wasn't that many." Dinah corrected. "But he deserved it. I love him and he loves me, even if he's an idiot most of the time."
"Whatever floats your boat, Blondie."
". . .He did cheat a lot, didn't he?" Dinah said after a few minutes.
"Yeah, he's probably got a few more illegitimate kiddies running around somewhere." Helen shrugged.
"Shut up." Dinah frowned. "Ollie doesn't want kids."
"That doesn't mean he doesn't have any." Helena said cheerfully.
Dinah glared at her.
"What?"
