A/N: Sorry about the delay, crazy busy at work and with Christmas prep. Doesn't seem to be too much interest in this story so far, I hope more ppl review.

Any way on with the second chapter.

Chapter 2:

Lilly woke up to the instant pressure of her husband's lips against the sensitive skin just below her ear. She grinned in her half state of sleep and she threaded her finger though those of Scotty's that were sliding up her body to fondle her breasts.

"Good morning" she murmured as she felt his erection pressing into the small of her back.

"Good mornin'" he whispered, nibbling on the soft flesh of her ear.

"You're up early" she murmured as her eyes slowly opened enough to glance at the clock.

Scotty shrugged and tightened his grip on her waist "after the night I had with this smokin' hot blonde I thought she might be up for round two"

Lilly giggled and rolled over to face him, her lips brushing against his "Mmmmh" she murmured in delight, closing her eyes again "normally I would" she reminded him "but, today is Saturday you know that the triplets always get up early to watch cartoons"

No sooner had she spoken, than Scotty heard the sound of doors opening and the triplets whispering loudly at each other not to wake their parents. He sighed, and ran a hand down her arm "Well, I guess we should get up and make breakfast'

Lilly nodded, pressed one last kiss to his lips and sat up, sliding out of bed. Scotty licked his lips as his eyes fixated on the perfect curve of her ass.

"You better put some clothes on fast if you don't want me to jump you" He said casually and Lilly giggled, grabbing a fresh shirt, a pair of jeans and underwear out of the closet before retreating to the bathroom. Scotty thought for a few moments, than a thought occurred to him. After last night he was definitely going to need a shower. And since the kids were already up and be wanting breakfast soon, it made sense for him to have a shower now, and with Lilly in there already…well, two birds, one stone, he thought as he climbed out of bed, and headed into the bathroom after her.

Scotty pulled back the shower curtain and moved in behind her, Lilly gasped and turned around, her beautiful blonde hair already soaking wet. "You're not gonna take no for an answer are you?" she replied as he moved in closer to her, trapping her wet body against the cold tiles.

"Thought you knew that when you married me?" he answered in a husky voice.

He wasted no time in pressing his body against hers and his tongue and teeth started to suck and nip on the skin of her neck.

Lilly gave in; the instant pressure of his body against her own made it hard to say no. She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes.

Scotty hummed happily to himself as he stirred the pancake batter; he made the triplets pancakes every Saturday morning for breakfast. Sometimes Blueberry or Raspberry or Buttermilk but this morning…..this morning was double Chocolate Chip.

"Hey Daddy" the sweet musical sound of his daughters voice entered the kitchen and he turned around, grinning broadly.

"Morning Princesa" Scotty replied and he scooped Laura up in his arms and placed her on the kitchen counter, tickling her ribs as he did so.

Laura giggled and tried to push his hands away.

"Stop it Daddy" she pleaded through her gales of laughter.

"Wanna help Daddy make pancakes?" he asked

Laura nodded enthusiastically, her eyes widening in excitement "Yes please"

Scotty pressed a kiss to her cheek and handed her the whisk, watching the look of concentration on her face as she carefully stirred the batter. Lilly entered the kitchen, her heart swelling with love at the adorable scene unfolding in front of her.

"Those pancakes smell good" She replied as Scotty carefully helped Laura ladle pancake mixture into the griddle.

"They are Chocolate Chip" Laura informed her mother happily "Daddy's favourite"

Lilly grinned "I know"

Scotty lifted his daughter down from the bench, setting her back down on the floor "Go tell you brothers that Breakfast will be ready soon"

"Okay Daddy" she replied and happily called out to her brothers as she ran up the stairs.

Scotty slid his arms around Lilly's waist and sighed contentedly "How 'bout we get a sitter for tonight and I take you out for a romantic dinner?"

Lilly grinned and looped her arms around his neck and took a step closer to her "really?"

Scotty nodded "Oh yeah, some place with candles and soft music…" he lowered his head to press a kiss to her neck "…someplace with expensive wine, great food"

"Why Detective Valens, are you trying to get me into bed?" she teased

"Definitely"

Lilly nodded "you're on"

"Great, I'll call Karmen, see if she's free" Scotty replied happily as he released Lilly and turned his attention back to the pancakes.

Scotty was washing up the dishes after breakfast when his cell phone rang. He sighed, it would have to be work; his family would call the land line on a weekend if they needed him.

Sure enough, he glanced at the caller ID, Agent Schneider, His FBI contact for the gang taskforce that he'd been detailed to for the next few months.

"Valens" He paused, listening to the Agent Schneider "it's Saturday Agent Schneider, can't this wait till Monday morning?" He rolled his eyes, shook his head as his contact continued "ok" He checked his watch "I'll be there in 15 minutes" He closed his cell phone and slipped it back into his pocket.

"Who was that?" Lilly asked as she entered the kitchen.

"Agent Schneider, he wants me to come in the precinct to go over some old case files." Scotty replied "reckons there might me something useful in em', something that us dumb cops mighta missed" he added a note of sarcasm in his voice.

"Did you explain that you were spending the day with your kids?"

Scotty nodded "Yes, but Agent Schneider doesn't seem to care, as he is single and has no life"

"But you promised Matty that you'd play catch with him today"

"I know" Scotty snapped

Lilly could see the anger that was coursing through him and it wasn't directed at her "You want me to talk to Matthew?"

Scotty shook his head and sighed "No, I will"

Scotty found Matthew in his room, sitting on the top bunk and chatting to his brother, tossing a baseball in the air and catching it again. "Hey boys" Scotty said as he walked into the room.

"Hey Dad" James replied

"You ready for a game?" Matthew asked as he climbed down from his bed.

Scotty sighed "Not yet buddy, James can I talk to your brother alone for a minute?"

James nodded, got off his lower bunk bed and headed out of the room grabbing his book on the way out.

"What is it Dad?" Matthew asked

"I am sorry Mi hijo I have to go into work"

Matthew's face, that was full of excitement at the prospect of spending the day with his father, changed to one of disappointment and hurt. "Why?"

"I have to; I'll make it up to you though"

Matthew pouted "How?"

"I'll play with you tomorrow after church, I promise"

"That's what you said about today"

It felt like a knife to his heart that his son was disappointed in him but he had to go into work "I know. I am sorry, why don't you ask James to play with you?"

Matthew rolled his eyes "He's too busy reading that book, besides he sucks"

Normally he would have reprimanded his son for his comment about his brother but he decided to let it slid today "What about Mum? I'm sure Mum will play with you"

Matthew scowled "Forget it, just go to work already" He snapped and brushed past Scotty, slamming the bedroom door closed as he left.

Scotty arrived at the precinct 15 minutes later, finding Agent Schneider sitting on his chair, his feet propped up on Scotty's desk.

"This better be good Schneider, I was gonna spend the day with my son"

Schneider frowned as he turned to face Scotty "Sorry Detective, but I had a hunch and I wanted to check out your closed case files" he replied, standing up and holding out a cup of coffee to him.

Scotty took the proffered coffee and took a sip, finding it was just the way he liked it "It couldn't have waited till Monday?"

Schneider shook his head "I'm sorry, once I get an idea in my head I gotta run with it"

Scotty sighed and pulled out a chair, sinking down into it and looking over the case file Schneider had been reading "look I'm sorry about your son" Schneider replied sincerely "how old is he?"

"Seven" Scotty answered, looking over at the photo of him, Lilly and the kids.

Schneider's eyebrows rose up "you have three kids"

"They're triplets, Matthew, James and Laura"

Schneider grinned, reaching into his coat pocket he pulled out his wallet and flipped it open "Twin girls Abby and Lucy, two"

"Didn't know you were married Schneider" Scotty commented

Scotty watch him shift uncomfortably on his feet, Schneider cleared his throat "Divorce was final two months ago, the twins live with my ex in Seattle"

"Sorry man, that's gotta be rough"

Scotty noticed his divorce was obviously painful for him so Scotty decided to change the subject "So what's this hunch you had?" he asked, watching Schneider's face light up as he flipped open the file and start to explain his theory.

Lilly was just putting the final touches to her make up when Scotty walked in the bedroom door "Sorry I'm late Jack and I, Agent Schneider, really think we are on to…something" he trailed off as he took in what she was wearing, a form fitting deep red dress. "Wow, Lil you look gorgeous"

Lilly blushed "Thanks"

"Give me ten minutes to get ready and we'll go" Scotty replied.

"Ok, I'll meet you downstairs. I am gonna say goodnight to the kids"

Scotty grinned and slid his arms around her waist, he lowered his head and pressed a kiss to the side of her neck "Or we could just stay here and do this" he whispered, inhaling her deeply "you smell amazing"

Lilly giggled "I got all dressed up and you promised me a night out"

Scotty pulled back from her "we'll just have to pick this up later" Lilly chuckled again and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"Go have your shower" she replied softly "and I'll see you down stairs soon"

Scotty nodded and pressed another kiss to her cheek before heading into the bathroom.

Scotty and Lilly said goodnight to the kids and then left for their romantic evening.

At first Lilly thought Scotty was pulling her leg as he pulled into the parking lot of the most expensive French restaurant in all of Philadelphia, but as he got out of the car, opened her door and took her hand in his, she realised that it wasn't a joke.

"Scotty, this is ridiculous" she explained as he opened the front door of the restaurant "this place is really expensive" her voice trailed off as the maître d' approached.

"Bonsoir Monsieur, may I help you?"

"Yes, we have a reservation for Valens"

The maître d' looked down at the reservation list, scanning the names "Yes of course, follow me please"

Scotty smiled at Lilly and held out his arm to her, she chuckled and slipped her hand thought it and allowed him to lead her after the maître d'.

"Our best table sir, as requested"

"Thank you"

Lilly slid into the cushioned, high backed booth and glanced around the restaurant. The walls were lined with more booths, and red, velvet curtains were hung in front of them, tied back as to allow patrons in and out but they seemed to be able to also be pulled closed as to allow some privacy. Scotty slid into the booth opposite her and reached out to take her hand, running his thumb back and forth over her soft skin.

"This is romantic" Lilly said dreamily as she looked across at her husband

"Only the best for my wife" Scotty whispered back and he lifted her hand to press a kiss to the back of it.

Lilly grinned "Oh and I wonder what these are for?" Lilly asked as she ran her fingers over the curtains.

Scotty chuckled, got out of his seat and moved to slip in next to her "Maybe there for…." He paused and leaned in to whisper something rather elicit in her ear.

She blushed and giggled "I could arrest you for that you know?" she informed him.

"Are you gonna use your handcuffs?" Scotty asked in her ear, his hand coming to rest on her thigh.

"Only if you're a good boy" she replied

The rest of the evening was wonderfully romantic, Scotty order the best bottle of champagne and the most expensive meals on the menu. Lilly protested that he was spending too much on her, but he refused to listen, telling her that this dinner didn't even come close to what she deserved.

They arrived home to find Scotty's cousin Karmen in the living room watching TV.

"How was dinner?" Karmen asked as she turned off the TV and got up.

"Great" Lilly replied honestly, as she handed her coat to Scotty to hang up "Scotty took me to Marque, that very expensive French restaurant in Centre City"

Karmen's eyes lit up "Oh I have always wanted to go to that restaurant, but I doubt Rico will take me" she chuckled, her boyfriend Ricardo wasn't known for his romantic side "well, I better go now. Leave you two…alone" she wiggled her eyebrows and Scotty rolled his eyes.

"Thank Karmen" he said as he kissed his cousins cheek

"You're welcome, see you at church tomorrow"

Karmen left and Scotty sighed contentedly, sliding his arms around her waist "I had a really good time tonight" Scotty replied.

"Me too; thank you for dinner. Although I would have been happy for you to cook me dinner at home"

Scotty smiled at her and lowered his head to kiss her "But then I wouldn't have taken you out to Marque and we wouldn't have had that time alone, like we are now"

Lilly giggled and kissed him back, sliding her arms around his neck "I guess you're right"

"Let's go to bed" Scotty suggested

Lilly nodded, took Scotty's hand and followed him up the stairs to their bedroom.

Lilly and Scotty closed the bedroom door and where just starting to undress each other when there was a soft knock on the door. Scotty sighed, knowing it could only be one of their children. He opened the door and found his daughter standing in the doorway, clutching her teddy bear tightly.

"I had a nightmare Daddy" Laura whimpered, tears welling in her piercing blue eyes.

Scotty squatted down in front of her "It's ok Princesa, it was only a nightmare" he said soothingly "besides Daddy is here now, those nasty bad dreams won't hurt you now"

She flung her arms around his neck, buried her face in his shoulder and cried. Scotty lifted her into his arms and stood up, hugging her tiny body against him. "Can I sleep in here with you and Mummy?" she managed between sobs

Scotty and Lilly exchanged looks, they were hoping to be alone tonight but clearly their daughter needed them.

"Sure baby" Lilly said, stroking her dark blonde hair.

Scotty lowered her down onto the mattress "you just close your eyes and you'll be asleep in no time"

"Okay Daddy" she whispered, her eyelids drooping closed.

"I am just gonna get changed" Lilly whispered as she dug out her pyjamas from the cupboard and headed into the bathroom.

Scotty sighed, shed his pants and dress shirt, slid into a pair of jogger bottoms over his boxers, grabbed a t-shirt and climbed into bed, his little girl immediately curling up beside him.

Lilly emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later and climbed into the other side of the bed.

"I'm sorry" Lilly whispered as she saw Laura curled up asleep next to him.

"It's alright"

He leaned over and pressed a kiss to Lilly's cheek "Goodnight, I love you"

"Love you too" Lilly replied

She closed her eyes and within minutes, she was asleep as well.
