I'm a family man...and I love every minute of it!
Rated M for some conversational content!
It really annoyed Horatio Caine when people stared when he was out with Aimee and their children, or just the children that at times he found people looking and making whispered comments about his age and having young children, some even making comments about a pregnant Aimee.
One time a man around the same age had the gall to come over when the family was out for breakfast when Aimee and the girls went to the restroom and say that Horatio had a "pretty lady" but raising small kids at this age must be a "pain in the ass."
"Both of them are cute," the man said of Rachel and Cheyenna. "But after the first mistake I'd think someone this age would learn their lesson."
Neither of Horatio's girls was a 'mistake.' Granted, Rachel had just been a 'surprise' being the couple wanted children but weren't trying to conceive at the time. And if he had thought having Rachel was a 'mistake,' Horatio would have got himself "snipped" to make sure Aimee didn't get pregnant a second, let alone a third time as she was now. Before Horatio could give a curt reply of the suggestion that man turn around and walk away, the woman the man had been dining with, from the way the two had been interacting Horatio thought the woman had to be the man's relative, maybe his sister walked over took the man's arm, Horatio could see she drug her nails into him. She had a furious expression on her face.
"I apologize for him, sir," the woman said. "My brother should know better. C'mon, Myles." she said through gritted teeth.
Horatio had been right about the relationship. He nodded to the woman. A gesture to accept her apology.
Anytime someone commented to Aimee about having an older husband and especially at times when they added something her being pregnant for a third time she'd have to bite her tongue being she wanted to say "yeah, but he's great in bed! And he doesn't need the little blue pill!" just to shock them and shut them up. Some of Aimee's close friends joked to her Horatio must be good in bed if she were pregnant yet again. Aimee didn't mind, she laughed at that.
Someone had even asked Horatio's mother-in-law, yes, Lacy, how good, or bad, Aimee's sex life must be with a husband fifteen years her senior.
"It must be pretty good," Lacy had replied. " She got a four-year-old, a two-year-old and she's pregnant again!"
The phrase "age is nothing but a number" applied to Horatio Caine in many ways.
If you said there was a line 'she was a great lady' and it was from "Under Suspicion" in this chaoter you were right! Pat yourself on the back, you know your CSI: Miami!
