A/N: I've reached the point that I wish crossword books used more normal words. Coos? Seriously? I hope this one is okay, 'cause it stumped me for a while there.

6-Down Coos

Before he met Jenny, Jethro didn't truly know what it meant to 'coo'. It was merely a description used in the feminist trash Diane liked to read, an absurd name for a sound that didn't really exist. But there was no other way to describe the sing-song, throaty murmurs of adoration Jen would whisper in his ear. Her declarations of love were an undertone to every moment of their time together. Now, years later, her legs are wrapped around him again and if he concentrates he can almost make himself believe that it's just to see if she still coos.
