A new puppy and a huge fight
A/N I would like to thank I would like to thank hippogriff-tamer, ICPinkFuzzyBunnies and L T Freak, for reviewing chapter sixteen. I would also like to thank hippogriff-tamer for all of her help with the chapter.
A few days later Nick and Jessica were walking around the streets of New York. She was pushing Elizabeth in her stroller. As they ambled down the street they passed by a pet store. Jessica gazed into the window and noticed a cute golden cocker spaniel looking back at her. The puppy's eyes pleaded with her saying "please take me home".
"Isn't that dog cute?" she said pointing the puppy out to Nick.
Nick looked to where she was pointing. "Yes want to go in and play with her doll face?"
"Do you mind?"
"Not at all," he told her shaking his head.
"Then can you take the stroller so that I can do that?"
He walked over to the stroller and placed his hand on it. "Absolutely angel."
They headed inside and Jessica found a young man behind the cashier.
He smiled at her. "How may I help you miss?"
"I'd like to see the golden cocker spaniel in the window," she answered as she motioned to the puppy.
"All right let me get her for you."
"Can I have a ball or something to throw for her too?"
"Of course but be careful, I wouldn't want to see anything broken."
"I'll be careful," she told him.
He walked over and took the puppy from the window. She was wagging her tail at the attention. He brought her over and placed her at Jessica's feet.
"I'll be right back with a toy."
"All right."
The puppy jumped up and licked Jessica. She then bent down and scratched her. The store guy handed a ball to Jessica. She threw it for the puppy and she brings it back with a yelp of happiness and a wag of her tail. Jessica threw it again and yielded the same reaction.
Jessica looked up at Nick with a smile. "Nicky this is the puppy I want."
"Let's see how she does with Elizabeth first."
Jessica brought the puppy over to her and she licked her. Elizabeth giggled and reached out and touched her.
"They seem to like each other so can we get her?" Jessica asked gleefully.
"I can't see why not."
She French kissed him. "Thanks Nicky."
"You re welcome go and pick out her things."
"All right. Come on girl let's go pick out your toys."
She wagged her tail as she followed Jessica..
They bought food, bowls and some toys before returning to the car. The puppy fell asleep on Jess's lap.
"So what are you going to name our new dog?"
"I was thinking Lucy."
"That's a great name."
"Do you like the name Lucy?
Lucy licked her and wagged her tail
"I think she likes it."
"So do I."
When they arrived home Lucy awoke. She hopped out of the car with Jessica not far behind. Nick took Elizabeth from her car seat.
"I'll be out back with Lucy," Jessica said.
"All right angel. I'll get her things inside."
Later that day Jessica made burgers and fries. There was also a chocolate pie for dessert. Lucy lay at her feet as she cooked. Nick saw that her back was turned to him so he snuck up and placed a kiss on her neck. Jess giggled.
"Hey Nicky."
"Hey angel something smells delicious."
"I am making your favorite dinner."
"Yum. Can we make out after dinner?"
She French kissed him. "You read my lips."
Upon finishing dinner Jessica put Elizabeth to bed. Once again Nick snuck up behind her and kissed her neck. Jessica giggled. She took his hand and led him to the bedroom tossing him onto the bed. She lay atop him and they shared a French kiss as they moved under the covers. Nick pulled away and attacked her neck with kisses causing nonstop giggles. She took his lips again and placed them firmly on hers. Liking her neck he sucked on it leaving a hickey as they continued to make out.
At three the next morning Lucy woke up needing to go to the bathroom so she began licking Jessica, who woke up a moment later.
"What is it girl?"
Lucy whimpered.
"Do you need to go potty?"
Lucy wagged her tail. Jessica put on her bathrobe and took Lucy outside. Nick was awake when she returned.
"Is everything all right angel?"
"Yes Lucy had to go to the bathroom."
"How about we go back to sleep?"
She snuggled next to him. "All right."
They closed their eyes hoping for sleep but it didn't come.
Jessica looked to him. "Nicky are you asleep?"
"No."
"Want to make out till we fall asleep?"
"Sure," he said as he leaned over to kiss her.
The next morning in Baltimore Tracy was getting Adam from his crib.
"Morning sweetie."
"Morning mama."
"Morning," Linda told Tracy.
"Let's make breakfast."
"Chocolate chip pancakes."
"Yes."
Tracy placed the twins in their high chairs before heating the griddle. Link came from behind and kissed her neck. Tracy giggled She turned and gave him a French kiss
"Morning sexy."
"Morning Linky."
"Something smells delicious."
"I'm making your favorite breakfast."
"I'd much rather snack on something much more delicious," he said as he bit her neck, leaving a hickey.
"Linky how many times must I tell you not to do that when the twins are in the room."
"Sorry."
He walked over to Linda and kissed her forehead.
"Morning sweetie."
"Morning Linky."
Link went over to Adam next.
" Morning buddy."
"Morning dada."
Once the pancakes were cooked everyone was around the table. Adam took a pancake piece and threw it at his sister. She retaliated but hit Tracy instead.
"Linky aren't you a little old for food fights."
"I didn't do it."
"Then who did?"
Adam threw another at Linda. This time Tracy saw him.
"Adam, don't throw food."
Linda threw some more pieces at Adam but Link caught her.
"That goes for you too young lady."
"Time for time out guys."
"No," Adam said.
"Yes," Tracy replied.
"Can you handle them so that I can get ready for work?"
"Absolutely."
Tracy placed the twins in the den. The second she left the room Linda hit Adam with a toy truck. He charged her and they hit the floor making a loud thunknoise. They started fighting once again. Tracy ran into the room and saw them fighting.
"Knock it off you two."
They don't listen so Tracy pried them apart. Linda bit her as she tried to get away.
"Ouch."
She finally got them apart.
"Linda you are coming with me for the rest of your time out."
"No."
She hit Adam with the truck again. This time Adam scraped her knee on the floor making it bleed.
"Ouch."
"Bad girl Linda."
"I'm a good girl."
"Well good girl don't hut their brothers with trucks."
"He made me mad."
"I don't care."
"Well you should. I need for you to stay in here while I try to get the bleeding to stop."
"NO."
She ran out of the room. Tracy decided that she didn't want to catch her and focused on getting the bleeding to stop but to no avail.
"Looks like it's time to pay a visit to grandma to see if she can get the bleeding to stop."
"Grandma."
"Yes sweetie grandma."
Tracy got Linda and Chris and the four of them went to Beebe's office. She placed Adam and his car seat in the passenger seat even though she knew it was dangerous to do so. But she had to do something so they wouldn't fight. When she got to Beebe's office she went up to the secretary.
"How may I help you Tracy?" she asked.
"Does Beebe have any openings anytime soon?"
"She's free now let me get her for you."
"Thanks."
The secretary left and returned a minute later with Beebe.
"Mary can you give me a hand and keep an eye on Chris and Linda?"
"Sure things Mrs. Larkin."
Tracy followed Beebe back to an exam room holding onto Adam.
"What seems to be the matter?"
"The twins were fighting and Adam hit his knee agents the ground and I can't get the bleeding to stop."
"Let me take a look at it."
"All right."
Beebe sat Adam down on the table and examined his knee.
"Looks like he'll need stitches."
"Can you do it for him?"
"Yes."
She walked over and got the needle and medical thread needed. She walked back over and using a small amount of alcohol cleaned the wound. She then stitched it up, wrapping it in some gauze for protection. Adam was quiet throughout the whole procedure.
"Here we go."
"Thanks."
Beebe handed Adam a sucker. He happily took it.
"Can I have another one for Linda so that another fight doesn't break out?"
"Sure here is one for you too."
"Thanks mom."
"You're welcome sweetie."
Tracy headed out to the waiting room and gets Linda and Chris.
Linda took the sucker from Adam. "Mine!"
"Linda that is Adam's here is one for you."
"Sucker."
"Yes sweetie sucker. I want for you to apologize to Adam."
"I'm sorry I hit you with the truck and made you scrap your knee."
"It's all right."
"Linda you have time out when we go home."
"No."
"Yes."
"Do I need another timeout?" Adam sobbed.
"No you do not, but I need for you to stick around with me to make sure you don't make Linda mad."
"Hey no fair," Linda said.
"Very fair."
Around noon Tracy was trying to decide what to do for lunch.
"What do you want for lunch Adam?"
"Pizza."
"Let's call grandma and see if she wants to come with us then."
"All right."
Tracy picked up the phone and dialed her parent's number.
"Hello," Edna said.
"Ma I was wondering if you'd like to go to Vincent's pizza with the twins and I for lunch?"
"Sure hun I'll meet you there in ten minutes."
"Great see you then ma."
Tracy got everyone ready and took them to the restaurant. She got three highchairs for the kids. They didn't have to wait long for Edna.
"Hey ma."
"Hey hun."
She greeted her grandkids with kisses. Chris reached out for her when she kissed him.
"What happened to Adam's knee?"
"He skinned it earlier."
"Any idea how?"
"In a fight with Linda."
"Was he brave about it?"
"Yes."
"Maybe you should take him to Beebe's after lunch to have her take a look at it?"
"I already did. She's the one who stitched him up."
Their waitress walked over.
"Afternoon folks welcome to Vincent's what can I get you to drink?"
"I'll have a cherry coke light ice," Tracy answered.
"I'll have a cherry coke," Edna said.
"And we'll have milk for the kids," Tracy added.
"I'll be right back with those," she said before walking away.
"Ma, want to split a pizza with me?"
"Absolutely hun."
The waitress came back with their drinks and a basket of bread.
"Are you ready to order? she asked.
"Yes we'll take two kiddy pizzas with sausage and tomato, and a medium pizza with sausage, green peppers, and tomato."
"All right."
She walked away. Tracy and Edna each took a piece of bread. Tracy also broke some into small pieces for Adam and Linda.
"Mama diaper," Adam said.
"Ma can you keep an eye on Chris while I change the twins?"
"Sure thing hun."
Tracy took the twins to the bathroom and was soon headed back to the table. She passed Edna and Chris. Chris was crying.
"Seems like he needs a new one too."
"I'll take care of him."
"Thanks ma."
"You're welcome hun."
Tracy handed Edna the diaper bag before heading back to the table. She placed Linda and Adam back in their chairs before sitting down in hers. Tracy ate another piece of bread as she waited for her mom and Chris. They returned a couple minutes later. The waitress came by with their pizzas and placed them down on the table.
"Can I get anything else for you?"
"I'll take another cherry coke light ice," Tracy said.
"I'll have another cherry coke," Edna added.
The waitress nodded and walked away. Tracy cut Adam's pizza slice for him and Edna cut Linda's. They all began to eat and Tracy was pleased at how everyone behaved themselves. The waitress stopped by and gave them their refills and they asked for more milk for the kids. When they were finished the waitress returned and cleared the empty plates off of the table.
"Did any of you save room for dessert?"
They nodded.
"What can I get for you?"
"We'll take two kiddy sundaes. I'll take a piece of chocolate pie as well," Tracy said.
"I'll take a piece too," Edna added.
"All right. Let me take these plates and I'll be right back with your desserts."
After they finished their desserts Tracy returned home with the kids. Edna went to cook dinner for Wilbur. Link arrived home that evening with a bag from the smoke house. Upon stepping into the house he saw Chris with his favorite stuffed dog. He moved further inside and found Linda in the time out area. Tracy was facing towards Linda and had her back turned to him. He went up to her and kissed her neck making Tracy giggle.
Hey Linky," she said as she turned around and French kissed him.
"Hey sexy."
"Where are the twins?"
"Linda is in time out as you can see and Adam is playing somewhere."
"How much longer does Linda have?"
"She can come out now but find Adam first."
"All right."
Link found Adam playing with some blocks in the living room. When he picked him up he noticed the gauze around his leg.
Link walked back to Tracy. "What happened to Adam?"
"Linda hit him with a truck making him skim his knee on the ground."
"Poor thing."
"I know luckily your mom was able to get him stitched up."
Two days before Tracy was to return to work, on March thirteenth, Edna was keeping her three grandchildren for the night so Link and Tracy could have some time together. She prepared his favorite dinner before putting on a sexy dress. When he saw her he kissed her neck. She giggled before leaning back and French kissing him.
"Hey cutie."
"Hey Linky."
"What's for dinner?"
"Burgers, fries, and chocolate pie."
"Sounds delicious. Where are the kids?"
"My mom took them for the night so that we can have some mommy daddy time."
"That was nice of her."
"She knows we've needed some time away from the kids."
Link helped her set the table and pulled out her chair once the food was ready.
"Linky can we have sex after dinner?"
"Absolutely angel, is that why your mom took the kids?"
"Yes."
They ate their dinner and put the dishes in the sink. Tracy gave Link a seductive smile before grabbing his hand and leading him to the bedroom. She pushed him onto the bed and let out a playful bark.
"Good doggy."
He scratched her. She nipped at his ear before attacking him with kisses. He fought his way up kissing her. She kissed him back as they hopped under the covers, their lips never leaving the others. They helped each other shed their clothes. Link lingered atop Tracy and he began kissing every inch of her face and neck causing her to giggle. Next he nibbled on it also causing her to giggle. He then moved to her ear, nibbling on it. This caused her to whimper. Next he licked it causing her to growl. He then placed kisses down her body pausing at her breast to nibble on them causing her to whimper once again. He also licked them causing her to moan happily before pinching them to make her gasp. T hen he squeezed them before placing kisses all along her arm.
Tracy moaned. Oh Linky."
Tracy then rolled over so that she was on top. She rubbed Link's inner thigh, making him whimper. She moved to Link's neck placing kisses on it before sucking on Link's ear. He moaned at her lips on his ear. Next she ran her tongue over Link's mouth. He opened it knowing it meant one of two things both of which he loved. Next she began to nibble on his lower lip causing him to whimper. They continued their ministrations for a while falling asleep in each other's arms.
Tracy went to work early on the fifteenth. She wanted to get a start on some leftover work. Be fore leaving she fed the dogs and left a note to Link letting him know that he should drop the kids off at her moms. Link saw the note when he awoke and as soon as he left the Turnblad's he drove to the studio and went straight for Tracy's office. The door was closed so he knocked.
"Come in," she said.
Link opened the door and walked inside. Tracy smiled and walked to him.
"Morning sexy."
He kissed her and started attacking her neck with kisses. This made her giggle non stop.
"Morning Linky."
She threw Link on the desk and lay down on him as they started making out.
"Did you get my note?"
"Yes they tried to lie to me again."
"Those little liars. Did you drop the kids off?"
"Yes."
"Good I've missed our morning make out sessions when I come in early."
"So have I."
They began making out again. A knock at the door interrupted them.
"Come in," Tracy said.
Corny opened the door and walked in.
"Tracy we need to get started."
"I'm coming Corny."
"Hi Link," he added smiling.
"Hey Corny."
Cory left closing the door behind him.
Tracy walked out of the room. The new council girl, Jill, came up to her when she saw her.
"Welcome back Tracy."
"Thanks Jill I'm glad to be back."
Another new council member, Greg, approached her next after Jill left.
"We're glad to have you back Tracy."
"Thanks Greg I'm glad to be back."
"How are your kids doing?"
"They're good thanks. "
After work Link picked up the kids so Tracy could stay and finish some work.
Edna answered the door and let him in. "Hey sweetie."
He looked over at the kids. "Hey mom how did the kids do?"
"They did well but Chris had a hard time when you left."
"Did he do all right once he settled down?"
"Yes he settled quickly with the help of Jack."
"I'm glad to hear that."
Linda heard his voice and crawled to him.
"Dada."
"Hey sweetie. Boy daddy missed his little girl."
He picked her up and kissed her cheek.
Edna smiled. "She missed you too."
Adam crawled to Link as well.
"Linky."
"Hey buddy."
He picked him up and kissed his cheek. Edna helped him get everyone into the car and Link drove home.
A couple months later, on Saturday May twentieth, Eric was sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper. Beebe was cleaning the kitchen. She had been tirelessly cleaning the whole house for the last few months. Even if she wiped the table clean it was never clean enough.
Eric looked up. "Angel I think the kitchen is clean."
She scowled at him. "No it's not."
"You've been cleaning all day."
"Do you want our babies to live in this filthy house?" she said in a stern voice.
"I bet there isn't a speck of dust left in this house," he answered.
She paused and looked at him. "There's still some dust left, I can see it."
"Honey, this place is so clean we can eat off the floor," he stated.
"Eric that's disgusting."
"But it's true."
She gave a loud sigh and went back to work on the kitchen counter.
She brushed a loose strand of hair from her forehead. "It's never going to be clean enough."
"Yes it is. I will really be glad when you back to your normal self."
" I know but being pregnant does have one perk," she said turning giving him a mischievous smile.
"What's that angel?" he asked enjoying her sudden mood swing.
Beebe French kissed Eric.
"You're right that is a perk."
Beebe French kissed Eric again. They soon found that they were making their way to the bedroom as they continued kissing. She pushed him back on the bed once they reached in and meowed like a cat.
"Good kitty," Eric said as she petted her.
Beebe got in bed and held the covers for Eric to join her. He instantly went to her. They helped each other dispose of their clothing. Eric lingered atop Beebe and he began kissing every inch of her face and neck causing her to giggle. Next he nibbled on it also causing her to giggle. He then moved to her ear, nibbling on it. This caused her to whimper. Next he licked it causing her to growl. He then placed kisses down her body pausing at her breast to nibble on them causing her to whimper once again. He also licked them causing her to moan happily before pinching them to make her gasp. Then he squeezed them before kissing20them then he began placing kisses all along her arm.
Beebe moaned. Oh Eric."
Beebe then rolled over so that she was on top. She rubbed Eric's inner thigh, making him whimper. She moved to Eric's neck placing kisses on it before sucking on Eric's ear. He moaned at her lips on his ear. Next she ran her tongue over Eric's mouth. He opened it knowing it meant one of two things both of which he loved. Next she began to nibble on his lower lip causing him to whimper. They continued their ministrations for a while.
On May twenty-seventh Beebe and Eric's mom were arriving in anticipation of their new grandchildren's birth. They were going to stay and help Beebe and Eric adapt to being parents again. Tracy and Link20had extra rooms so their grandmothers were going to live with them during their stay. Beebe and Eric went to pick their moms up at the airport.
"Hey mom, Justine," Beebe said when she saw them. She hugged them as well.
"Hey sweetie," Martha and Justine both said.
"Hey mom, Martha," Eric told.
They both hugged him while they greeted him.
"Let's go see the kids," Beebe said.
"All right how are they doing?" Martha asked.
"They are good and looking forward to you staying with them."
Justine nodded. "We have really been looking forward to it too."
After getting suitcases everyone got into the car and Eric drove to Link and Tracy's house. Tracy opened the door and let them in.
She hugged everyone. "Hey mom dad, grandma."
"Hey sweetie," Beebe said.
"Hey Tracy," both Justine and Martha told her.
"Where are my great grandchildren?" Martha added.
"Your new great grandson is taking a nap and Link took the twins to the park."
"Can you get my new great grandchild," Justine asked.
"I'll see if he's awake."
Tracy left and returned moments later with Chris in her arms.
"Well who do we have here?"
"This is Chris Eric Larkin."
"He's adorable," Martha said.
"So cute," Justine added in agreement.
Link returned pushing the twins in their strollers. Tracy handed Chris to Beebe before helping Link with the twins.
"Mama," Adam said as she picked him up.
"Hey sweetie," Tracy said as she kissed his cheek.
Adam looked around the room. "Nana," Adam said as he noticed Justine and Martha.
Justine and Martha went over to him.
"Hey sweetie," they said.
"I'll go get the gifts," Justine added.
"Gifts," Adam repeated.
"Yes gifts," Justine said.
She left the room and returned with three wrapped gifts. She handed one to each of her great grandkids. Adam received a toy police car. Linda got a doll and Chris got a stuffed lion.
Link and Tracy showed their grandmothers to their room and let them settle in before dinner. After the sun set that night, Martha headed to bed. Justine followed shortly after.
"Night guys," Justine said.
"Night grandma," they both said."
Justine headed to the room. Marley followed her.
"I guess he wanted to sleep with her."
"He must let's allow him."
"Okay."
Saturday June third Beebe and Eric went to a Baltimore Orioles baseball game. In the seventh inning they were creaming the New York Yankees.
"Eric, will you get me a chilly dog and cheese fries?"
"Absolutely doll."
He stood and headed to the concession stand. Beebe looked back at the field but paused when she felt something wet between her legs. He returned a few minutes later and kissed her neck. Despite knowing she was in labor pain Beebe giggled.
"Eric, the babies are coming," she told him.
His eyes widened a bit then softened. "We better get you to the hospital then."
She nodded. "I'll still eat but in the car."
He chuckled. "All right angel."
Beebe waddled out of the stadium while Eric held her arm in assistance. She waited at the curb while he found the car. Once he did he drove right up to the curb and helped Beebe inside. She was breathing in and out focusing on the contraction she felt. They arrived at the hospital in record time.
Eric hopped out of the car. "Wait here angel and I'll go get a wheelchair."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Eric smiled before heading inside. He found the receptionist.
"My wife is in labor with twins."
Let me grab a nurse and a wheelchair."
She walked through a nearby door and returned with a nurse pushing a wheelchair. She followed Eric outside and helped him get Beebe out of the car and into the wheelchair. He held Beebe's hand as the nurse pushed her inside and to the elevators. Once on the right floor she was given a room. Eric had to fill out some forms.
"Beautiful after I finish with these forms I am going to call everybody."
" All right handsome."
He began to fill out the forms while the nurse took Beebe to her room. He handed them to the older nurse at the nurse's station and went to find a payphone. He rustled around in his pocket and found the change he needed. He picked up the phone.
"Hello," Tracy said on the other line.
"Tracy Beebe is in labor."
"We'll meet you at the hospital within half an hour."
"All right."
While he was on the phone with Tracy the nurse at the desk called Beebe's doctor. Eric didn't know that she did so he called the doctor as well. He then headed found the nurse who wheeled Beebe in and she told him his wife's room number. He walked in and noticed that she was still dressed in the clothes she was wearing at the game.
She heard him and turned. "Eric is that you?"
"Yes."
"Can you help me with my hospital gown?"
"Sure."
He closed the door before helping her unzip her dress and tying the hospital gown at her waist.
"There all set," he said as he kissed her neck. Beebe giggled and thanked him. With his help she made her way to the bed and lay on it. He found a chair and sat beside her.
Tracy and Martha both appeared in the door half an hour later.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" Martha asked.
"The kids are ready to come out. Is everybody else here?"
"They're in the waiting room."
Doctor Rodgers walked into the room ten minutes later.
"How are you feeling?" she inquired.
Beebe winced in pain as another contraction hit her. "I'm ready for the twins to be born."
After the contraction passed Dr. Rodgers went to the end of the bed. "Let's see how far along you are."
She placed her hand under the sheet so she could examine Beebe.
"You're at three centimeters so you have a ways to go."
"I'll be back later to check on you again," she said before leaving.
"I'll go get you some ice chips," Tracy told her.
"Thanks sweetie."
Tracy went out in the hall to ask for ice chips. She came back with them a minute later.
She handed the cup to Beebe. "Here you go mom."
Beebe popped a couple into her mouth. "Thanks sweetie."
Four hours into her labor Beebe awoke from a short nap. Dr. Rodgers walked in the room to check her progress.
"Let's see how far along you are."
She was done a moment later. "You're six centimeters so you can have an epidural if you like."
"Yes, please."
Dr. Rodgers walked out within ten minutes an anesthesiologist came in the room and administered the epidural. By ten that night Beebe had been in labor for seven hours. Dr. Rodgers came in to check her progress and found that she was at ten centimeters. A nurse was called in to assist.
"All right Beebe it's time to push. Now I want you to push after your next contraction," Dr. Rodgers told her.
Beebe was positioned in a semi sitting position and pushed after the next contraction. She pushed for several minutes until a cry was heard.
"Congratulations! It's a girl!"
"She has a powerful cry," Eric said.
"She certainly does," the nurse agreed.
Dr. Rodgers looked to him. "Eric do you want to cut the cord?"
"Sure."
Eric cut the cord and Dr. Rodgers handed the baby to the nurse. She was then taken out of the room to get cleaned up and weighed.
"Push at the next contraction."
Beebe nodded her head. "All right."
Beebe pushed a few more times until another cry was heard.
"It's another girl! Congratulations!"
Eric cut the cord again and she was handed to another nurse so she could be cleaned up and weighed.
Tracy hugged Beebe. "Two girls! Congrats mom! I'll go get everybody."
Beebe rested her head against the pillow. "All right sweetie."
Five minutes later the nurse returned with the older of the twins wrapped in a pink blanket.
"She's five pounds five ounces," the nurse told them as she handed her to Beebe.
"What shall we name our little angel?" Eric asked.
"How about Stacy Beebe Larkin?"
"I love that name," Martha said.
Stacy let out a cry.
Beebe giggled. "Seems she likes it too."
Eric smiled and nodded.
The nurse returned with their other daughter wrapped in a green blanket. Beebe handed Stacy to Eric so she could hold their other daughter.
"This one here is five pounds three ounces," she said as she handed her to Beebe.
"What shall we name our other daughter?"
"How about Heather Tracy Larkin?"
"I love that name."
Martha smiled. "So do I."
Tracy entered the room followed by the others.
"We'd like for you all to meet Stacy Beebe Larkin, Eric said as he held her up so everyone could see her.
Beebe smiled. "And this is Heather Tracy Larkin."
"They're adorable!" Justine said.
"They are so little," Tracy added.
"Here let me take Stacy," Justine said.
"And I'll take Heather," Martha said.
They visited for a few more minutes before everyone left for the night to let Beebe and the twins get some rest. Beebe had the paper in hand the next morning. Eric sat beside her with a book. Tracy and Link walked in pushing the kid's strollers.
"Morning guys," Beebe and Eric greeted.
"Morning," they both said.
Eric took Chris from his stroller and held him.
"Hey Chris," he told him.
Chris reached out and touched his nose.
"Where is everybody else?" Beebe asked.
"They'll be here soon."
"Where are my new baby sisters?" Link asked.
"The nurse took them so that I could read the paper."
"I'll go ask the nurse to bring them in here," Eric said.
He walked out of the room and several minutes later returned holding Stacy. A nurse followed with Heather and she handed her to her mom. Eric stood by Beebe with Stacy still in his arms.
"Who's that?" Linda asked pointing to Heather.
Tracy smiled. "Linda, Adam, Chris I'd like you to meet Heather and Stacy. They are your new aunts."
"What are aunts?" Adam asked.
"Aunts are family members that let you get away with things that your mom and dad won't," Eric said. He winked as he said this.
"I think I might like that," Linda replied.
"Linda, they are just babies so they won't be doing much for some time," Link reminded her.
She frowned.
"But I am sure you'll have lots of fun when they are a little older," Beebe20told them.
That following Saturday, June tenth, Tracy and Link's grandmothers were going to watch the kids so that they could have a nice meal at the prime rib restaurant to celebrate Tracy's birthday. Link awoke early and quietly fetched Marley from the guest room. Julia followed as they went to the kitchen. Link fed them before making breakfast. When everything was ready he placed it on a plate. He placed the plate on a tray along with two glasses of juice and a vase full of rises. The dogs eagerly anticipated getting to eat bits of the food so they followed Link back to the bedroom. Tracy was still asleep when he arrived so he gently set aside the tray and kneeled in front of her so that he could kiss her. She awoke and deepened the kiss by slipping her tongue in his mouth.
He moved the tray so she could have access to it. "Morning sexy."
"Morning Linky you're so sweet to bring your wife her favorite breakfast in bed on her birthday."
"You deserve it cutie."
Tracy noticed the flowers.
"Roses! Thank you!"
"You're welcome you also have the day off child care."
"Can at least play with my kid's right?"
"Absolutely."
"Good can we make out after breakfast?"
"Absolutely doll."
They ate the delicious meal and put the tray aside. Link hovered atop Tracy and French kissed her. Her lips moved against his as they made out in bed. Link moved onto Tracy's neck. He attacked it with kisses and she started giggling with no hope of stopping. He then continued down her neck and chest until he reached her breast. He moved the fabric of her nightgown so that he could nibble on her breast, causing Tracy to whimper.
"Mama breakfast," Adam called from his room.
Tracy and Link parted before getting out of bed.
"It's your day off remember?"
"I know but I have every right to tell them good morning."
"That you do and I am not about to take that right away from you."
They headed into the nursery. Tracy went over to Adam while Link went to Linda.
"Morning sweetie," Tracy told Adam.
"Morning mama," Adam said smiling.
"Morning sweetie," Link greeted Linda.
"Morning Linky."
"What do you want for breakfast Adam?" Tracy asked.
"Waffles."
"What about you Linda?" Tracy asked.
"French toast."
"I am only making waffles," Link said.
"I know today is my day off but can I make the French toast?"
"I can't see why not."
Martha and Justine were in the kitchen when Tracy and Link walked in with the twins.
"Morning Tracy happy birthday," they both said.
She hugged them. "Thanks grandmas."
"Would you guys like any breakfast?" Justine inquired.
"Can you make the French toast so that I can have the day off of cooking?" Tracy asked.
"Absolutely Tracy."
"Thanks grandma."
Justine and Link started cooking. Martha walked out of the kitchen and came back with a gift and card. She handed them both to Tracy. She opened the card first. It read-
Dear Tracy,
Happy Birthday Sweetie! This is a day to reflect on the years past and look forward to the next.
Love,
Justine and Martha
Opening the gift Tracy saw a pair of dancing shoes.
"Thanks grandmas."
"You're welcome sweetie," they said.
That afternoon Link made roast beef and cheese sandwiches for lunch. Martha made her famous chocolate brownies. Tracy and Link were watching TV while there grandmothers were sitting on the floor playing with there great grandchildren. The dogs barked at the door bell ringing.
"I hear it guys," Tracy said.
She opened the door to see Beebe, Eric and their twins.
Beebe hugged her. "Happy birthday sweetie."
"Thanks mom."
Beebe handed Tracy a gift and a card. She opened the card first and read it-
Tracy,
Happy Birthday honey! We are so proud of the woman you are and how you've changed this family for the better. I hope that you can find time to relax and just enjoy the day. You deserve it!
Love,
Mom and Dad
Tracy then opened the gift to find a gift certificate to her favorite store.
"Thanks!" she told them.
You're welcome. How has your birthday been so far sweetie?" Beebe asked.
"It has been great."
"I am so glad to hear that."
Tracy smiled. "I finally have my birthday off from work."
"More time to relax right Tracy?" Eric said.
"Yeah."
Martha took Heather into her arms.
"Hey sweetie."
Heather reached out for Martha.
They spent the rest of the afternoon talking. Before six that evening Tracy and Link went upstairs to change. Link was downstairs before her so he had to wait.
"Cutie we need to get going."
"I'm coming," she called to him.
She came down the stairs wearing a seductive blue dress. She had blue sapphire earrings and necklace to match. When Link saw her he couldn't help but drool.
He kissed her neck. "Hey sexy my you look ravishing this evening."
She giggled. "Thanks Linky."
He offered her his arm and she took it. He escorted her to the car and drove to the restaurant. They gave the hostess their name and were seated soon after. Their waiter arrived not a minute later.
"Evening folks welcome to the prime rib restaurant what can I get you to drink?"
"We'll take a bottle of wine," Tracy answered.
The waiter nodded and walked away. Link handed her three gifts and a card. Tracy opened the card first. It read-
Trace,
I am glad for the day you were born because if the world didn't have you in it, it wouldn't be much of a place to live in. You make the world a better place just by being here and I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Link
She kissed Link before opening the first gift. It contained a locket. The second had records full of make out music and the third was a box of chocolates.
"Thanks Linky."
"You're welcome cutie."
The waiter returned wit h their wine and a basket full of bread.
"Are you ready to order?" he asked holding his pas and pen.
They nodded.
"What can I get for you?"
"I'll take the blue cheese balsamic glaze prime rib with a stuffed potato," Tracy said.
"So will I," Link added.
The waiter nodded and walked away as they each had a slice of bread.
Link heard soft music and turned to see the dance floor. A small band was playing. "Would you care to dance angel?"
"I'd love to."
They headed over to the dance floor. Tracy wrapped he arms around his neck as his found her waist. Their bodies were close together as they began dancing. Link gave her breast a playful squeeze before kissing her neck. She giggled and pulled his mouth to hers. Their tongues mingled as they continued swaying to the music. When they were out of breath they returned to the table.
Tracy picked up the locket and looked at it.
Link smiled. "I forgot to tell you to open your locket."
Tracy opened it to see a picture of their three kids and the dogs.
"It must have been hard to get everybody in the picture."
"Yes it was especially Marley because he kept wanting to lick Chris."
"I bet, but he managed to stay still."
"Yes, but it took several tries," Link told her.
"I love it thank you again," she said as she leaned over to kiss him.
"I'm glad that you like Trace."
She placed the locket back in its box before looking at the bread basket. "Pass the bread."
He handed it to her. "Here you go angel."
"Thanks Linky."
"You're welcome. You know I can't wait to get you out of that dress," he said as he grabbed her free hand in his and twined their fingers.
"Later," she told him.
"Promise?"
Tracy nodded.
The waiter came by with their dinners and placed the plates in front of them.
"Can I get anything else for you?"
"We'll take another bottle of wine," Tracy said.
The waiter nodded and took their empty bottle. He returned a minute after they began to eat with the new one. He uncorked it and refilled their glasses for them. The rest of dinner passed in companionable silence.=2 0When it was time for dessert the waiter reappeared.
"Did either of you save room for dessert?"
"Yes I'll take a piece of chocolate mousse pie."
"That sounds good, so will I," Link answered.
