A/N: HUGE Thanks to MissCallaLilly, Zoe6, metube, Smurf5, and Anonymous Terra Nova fan for your wonderful reviews! Just a quick note…to terra nova fan: the Lucas thing you brought up.. I can't change this story...but you have officially inspired my next story after this one. I was looking for a good excuse to do another time traveller fic with a new character! Please all enjoy the update :-)
"Now I have brought you prenatal vitamins, also some more meds for the nausea so if the morning sickness is unbearable again then take it. Also no alcohol, no construction work that involves toxic substances, fumes or materials" Elisabeth said after she ran through with Kate everything else she needed to know about prenatal care.
Kate felt lightheaded from conversation and she wasn't even pregnant. Sure she read a book once and talked to someone who was pregnant but when all the information was given to you as the person who was pregnant? well it was a little overwhelming. Kate looked in one of the bottles at the tiny tablets inside.
"Ok, work less and lots of fresh air" Kate said as she screwed the lid back on the bottle. She made a mental note to pass on all this information to Alicia over lunch. She could also understand why Alicia wanted to keep it a secret for a few days than make a Colony wide announcement.
"Yes and you need to increase your iron intake. I remember your last scan that your iron levels were a little low. Something we'll need to keep an eye on. I really wish you would let me take a new scan" Elisabeth said as she placed the pill containers on the dining table.
"If I go to the infirmary and get a scan then everyone will know and I want to tell Malcolm first" Kate said. She felt horrible for lying to Elisabeth but it was with good intentions. Elisabeth would forgive me… probably after she tortures me with a few big needles... Kate thought begrudgingly.
Alicia just wanted a couple weeks for her reasons and Kate agreed to be her for want of a better name 'Pregnancy beard' until then. If anyone found out that someone in their house was pregnant. Kate was happy to take the fall from grace. It wasn't like she had far to fall anyway and the Colony thought she was already pregnant. Thanks to a stupid rumour. The only difference was Elisabeth believed Kate was, as Kate had asked for the at home pregnancy test and when Elisabeth asked if it was positive. Kate answered 'yes' she just left out the part where she wasn't the one who took it.
"Have you told Malcolm?" Elisabeth asked. Kate gave an awkward smile and shook her head.
"Not yet, I was thinking about surprising him next week. Just in time for our anniversary I can't think of a better time to drop such a bomb" Kate said casually trying to downplay it all.
"I'd pay to see his face when you tell him" Elisabeth said with excitement.
"Yeah I can't wait for that conversation either" Kate said weakly as she ran a hand through her long red locks. She really hoped she didn't have to have that conversation for a while. Her nervousness at the idea must have shown as Elisabeth grasped her hand that was on the table in a comforting manner.
"Don't worry everything will be fine. First time I was pregnant and found out, I was happy but I was a complete mess but when I told Jim everything was perfect" Elisabeth said.
"So how did you tell him?"
"Well I had very bad nausea and it's so embarrassing" Elisabeth said cringing. Kate looked at her waiting for her to continue. "I couldn't sleep one night as I just had to tell him. So I woke him up and I said I had to tell him something important and he asked me what it was and I opened my mouth to tell him and instead of words…" Elisabeth drawled not able to finish but Kate guessed from the hand gestures Elisabeth used.
"Oh did you throw up on him?" Kate asked wincing as she tried not to laugh. Elisabeth nodded.
"Yes, it was horrible and disgusting! I didn't know I was going to throw up. It just happened!" Elisabeth said horrified but also amused while shaking her head at the memory.
"Not the magical moment you were hoping for?" Kate asked before laughing. Elisabeth joined in her laughter because it was funny now that there was some distance between the memory and present day.
"No, not even close. He was horrified and I apologised profusely and told him that I was pregnant and not sick" Elisabeth said. Kate chuckled as she could just see Jim's reaction.
"Well at least it's memorable and disgusting" Kate said honestly.
"Yes, I don't recommend you tell him the way I told Jim" Elisabeth said.
"I don't know I think that might be a great way to tell Malcolm" Kate said thoughtfully before she chuckled and scrunched her nose in disgust at the thought. Elisabeth laughed shaking her head at Kate. "So what about Maddy and Zoe? Did you use the same method of communication?" Kate asked.
"No, I didn't have any nausea with Maddy and Zoe only a little but otherwise they were a walk in the park compared to Josh but every pregnancy is different and every baby is different. Have you and Malcolm talked about children and how many you want?" Elisabeth asked.
"Not really, I mean we briefly discussed it once upon a time. I know he wants kids but I think when he said it he meant like maybe a couple years down the track" Kate said honestly.
"Well too late for that one. What about you?" Elisabeth asked.
"Three kids but I'm happy to wait, I got time" Kate said with a shrug.
"Well in 9 months or less you will have one down at least" Elisabeth said with a smile.
"Yeah that's insane" Kate said nodding.
"Well I should leave you as I have to start my shift" Elisabeth said.
"Right, thank you for all this and stopping by" Kate said.
"You're welcome and if you need anything at all or just to talk I'm here ok?" Elisabeth said as she and Kate stood up from the table.
"Thank you. You don't know how much I appreciate this" Kate said as she opened the door for her. Elisabeth hugged her goodbye and left. Kate closed the door and exhaled slowly before she moved to the table and picked up the prenatal vitamins and the iron supplements and placed them in the back of one of the kitchen cabinets out of the sight.
"Wash, you sure you're over that bug?" Taylor asked he sat down behind his desk. Alicia welcomed a chance to sit down as she had been running around the colony for the better half of the morning.
"Yes Sir, why do you ask?" Alicia asked. She couldn't stop looking at him and blamed the anti nausea drugs for her wayward mind as little fantasies flickered through her mind like him holding their child for the first time, she could just see the smile he would wear as baby would grasp his finger with its tiny hand. She really needed to control such thoughts, it wasn't productive.
"You're still looking pale and to be honest you've been eyeballing me oddly the past day" Taylor said, Alicia blinked suddenly nervous. She didn't need his mind connecting any dots prematurely. She wanted to tell him she was pregnant but held her tongue. She knew all the risks and facts of pregnancy in women over the age of 30.
But as much as she just wanted a couple of more weeks to adjust to the situation the more she just wanted to tell him. The conflicting desires were not helping her mental state. She had wanted a couple of weeks so she could put their plans into effect before she told him. She knew as soon as she told him, he take her off duty immediately and drag her ass to the Infirmary before she could finish saying the word 'pregnant'. But then she wanted to share the news with him now and deal with his inevitable overbearing and stubborn attitude of taking care of her.
"I have? I didn't mean to. I guess I just missed seeing your ugly mug everyday sir" Alicia joked with a smile.
"Mug? You're spending too much time with Kate" Taylor admonished her. Alicia chuckled and then they fell into a companionable silence. He looked over the request forms Alicia had handed him all the while Alicia waited for his approval or to make correction. Alicia pulled out her comm. unit and looked at the time noting it had been about 5 hours since her last anti nausea tablet. She put the comm. unit away and went back to watching Taylor.
"Everything looks fine. I approve of the redistribution of manpower" Taylor said as he signed off on the plex.
"Baz and Kate will be happy" Alicia said.
"She ok? I passed Doc Shannon this morning on her way to your house. Don't tell me the rumour is true?" Taylor asked.
"Which rumour?" Alicia asked innocently.
"That she's pregnant and Malcolm is avoiding her" Taylor said, Alicia laughed and shook her head.
"Trust me she is not pregnant. If Kate was she'd tell me, she's just having one of those days. I was going to check on her at lunch" Alicia said lying through her teeth but Taylor nodded accepting the lie as they had seen Kate on 'one of those day' when she was too tired to even lift her head from breakfast table to eat.
Luckily 'one of those days' were few and far between now Kate had learned to cut down her energy expenditure it took a lot of arm twisting to get Kate to cut down her work hours and her amount of exercise but she eventually caved in.
"Well it's quiet around here. Why don't you take the rest of the day off and get some rest. Send my regards to Kate" Taylor said. Alicia wasn't going argue about some time off and stood up to leave. She looked to Taylor.
"You can join us for lunch if you want?" Alicia offered, Taylor smiled at the offer and shook his head.
"I'll eat in the mess but if dinner is an option I'd be happy drop by" Taylor said it sounded more like a question than a statement as he was wondering if the 'no visitors' ban was lifted.
"We're having stir fry, come by whenever you're finished" Alicia said and with that she left the Command Centre.
He made himself lunch and sat down on the couch turning on his plex and activating the live feed for Alicia and Kate's place.
"…So all that's everything she told me" Kate said to Alicia, he looked at the feed wondering what was in the medical containers on the kitchen bench as he took a bite of his meal.
"I bought you a week but if Malcolm goes OTG next Monday like he was telling me over breakfast. Then we have three weeks, will that be enough time?" Kate asked Alicia.
"Thanks but I don't think I can keep it a secret from Taylor as long as I thought. I have to tell him, tonight… or maybe tomorrow night" Alicia said indecisively as she picked up the containers and put them away in a cupboard. Kate moved to set the dining table and continued talking while Alicia started preparing lunch.
"Well I say the sooner the better! I want to celebrate and we need to talk seriously about the extensions for Taylor's house for when you move in with him." Kate said.
"It's not necessary"
"A bath and second toilet are definitely necessary! It's my wedding gift for if or whenever you get hitched" Kate said.
The man chuckled those extensions were never going to happen. In less than 24 hours she would be in his world and under his control for his pleasure. The thrill of anticipation drummed in him as everything was in place and ready to go.
He continued to eat his lunch while he watched Kate and Alicia talking as they went about making lunch, their last few hours together.
"Are you pregnant?" Taylor asked Kate. He had finished up early in the office and was now sharing afternoon tea with Alicia and Kate.
Kate and Alicia both choked on their tea as Taylor hadn't been looking directly at Kate when he asked the question.
"Sorry?" Kate asked first after she cleared her throat.
"I heard a rumour" Taylor said, he looked to Alicia wondering why she had choked on her tea. She was in her civilian clothing with her hair out looking relaxed. He loved it when she had her hair down.
"You should know better than to listen to a rumour" Kate said who was already dressed up and passing time catching up with them before she left to have dinner with Malcolm. Malcolm had been wrapped up in his work since Outpost 10 closed down and their research moved back to the Colony. So as an apology for forgetting they were going to have dinner that night and standing her up for the first time in their 6 month relationship.
Kate didn't need an apology as she understood Malcolm would get caught up in his work and forget a dinner here and there. It had already happened a couple of times. She got annoyed sure but Malcolm always made up for it even though it was necessary. She just wanted to see him and since it had been over a week since she had spent any quality time with him she was looking forward to the night. She was even wearing her green dress.
"Just thought I'd check as Elisabeth said she was dropping by with vitamins" Taylor said, he couldn't help but feel the two were keeping a secret from him. He didn't like secrets or surprises and they both knew this.
"Yeah to help me with my fatigue" Kate said, now he knew Kate was lying as Elisabeth hadn't mentioned anything about vitamins only that she had been dropping by for tea.
"What kind of vitamins?" Taylor asked seeing how well versed Kate had her cover story. It made him curious as to what she was really covering up.
"What's with the twenty questions?" Alicia asked him. Kate and Alicia exchanged looks.
"Just curious" Taylor said with a casual shrug.
"Calcium and Iron supplements along with Alpha lipoic acid to fight free radicals" Kate answered with a shrug before she took a sip of her tea. "Would you like to see them?" Kate asked with an amused smile.
"No, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure everything is alright" Taylor said.
"Yeah definitely you know one bad day for every 5 good ones. I'm taking it easy tonight just a quiet dinner with Malcolm and tomorrow is a half day. I just have tick a bunch of boxes and make sure windows, cupboards and doors open and close etc." Kate said.
"Good. You work too hard" Taylor told her, Kate made a derisive noise.
"Yeah right, a 25 hour week is so tiring for a delicate flower like me" Kate scoffed rolling her eyes.
"So how is everything going with Malcolm?" Taylor asked changing topics.
"Busy, were supposed to have dinner the night before last but he got caught up with the Outpost 10's collection of 'discoveries'. So he's making up for it tonight. Speaking of which I should go" Kate said as she drained her cup of tea.
"Well if Malcolm is stands you up tonight we got plenty of dinner" Alicia told Kate.
"Thanks but I don't think he'll be standing me up. When I saw him yesterday he looked like he was ready for a break. But who can blame him, working with Dr Haynes would make me want to call in sick" Kate said.
"Let's not get started on Dr Haynes" Alicia said, she had to put up the woman and her complaints about the housing. She had been placed into a new house as her old place had been bombed in the occupation. The new house didn't have a bath.
It had a shower and apparently the woman could not live without a bath. She even had the nerve to say that someone like Alicia who had been in the military all her life and was used to living and chose an impoverished lifestyle would never understand the necessity of a bath tub was. How this woman survived at Outpost 10 without someone feeding her to a carno stumped Alicia. It was probably lucky for Dr Haynes that Alicia had never been stationed at Outpost 10 with her. She would definitely strung the woman up as a carno snack.
So Alicia told her calmly that having a house was a luxury and if the house was unacceptable then she could live in a tent as those were her only two options. Alicia didn't wait for her to complain further instead she walked away. There were soldiers still sleeping in tents and half constructed houses because one of the barracks had been destroyed. Taylor's place still didn't have windows and they did not complain. Even though they had every right to be mutinous as the civilians were prioritized before them.
"Agreed" Kate said Taylor kept his mouth shut as he knew why the women had their mutual hate for Dr Haynes. "Ok, I'm out of here and you kids have fun" Kate told them with a wink. She pulled on a jacket and pocketed her baton and left the house.
To say Kate was angry was an understatement, she was livid. She had waited 20 minutes for him at his place before letting herself in and finding his house empty. At least the dinner was in oven but there was no Malcolm. So she tried calling him on the comm. and after the third call Dr Haynes picked up. The woman had the nerve to tell her Malcolm was busy with work and turned off his comm. unit before Kate could reply.
Kate knew she should have gone home but she was hoping that if Alicia and Taylor had some alone time then Alicia was going to tell the man that she was pregnant. Kate knew if this happened then the two would definitely need the house to themselves to celebrate. So in her starving state Kate decided she'd go and find out what Malcolm was up to and how long he would be in a calm and understanding fashion.
Kate pulled the door open to the Research labs and when she stepped inside she was greeted by Dr Haynes shouting at her to close the door. She did as she was ordered and closed the door and locked it.
"What are you doing here?" Dr Haynes asked already annoyed at Kate's presence.
"Locking a door and you?" Kate asked Dr Haynes in feigned innocence. Malcolm appeared from behind a cabinet and looked at Kate apologetically as he walked to her. It eased her anger at Malcolm as he looked annoyed and upset instead of wrapped up in the marvels of some science advancement.
"You look amazing and I'm an arse. I'm so sorry for not calling. I couldn't find my comm. unit and well we have a bit of a situation here" Malcolm said as he reached her side and gave her quick kiss in greeting. Kate felt all her anger focus on Dr Haynes as she knew the woman had Malcolm's comm. unit. But instead of outing the woman as she so richly deserved Kate took a deep breath and took the high road.
"Yeah I got that from the warm welcome Dr Haynes gave me" Kate said, she really loathed that woman. Dr Haynes was an attractive brunette in her mid 30's with 5ft 6 curvy body. She was also two-faced, self conceited bitch. So it wasn't like Kate hated her for no good reason.
"And now she's stuck with us until we find and secure the specimen" Dr Haynes said.
"Specimen? Please tell me it's not a spider" Kate said moving closer to Malcolm while looking for any eight legged foes. She hated spiders, passionately to the point she couldn't stand being in the same room as one without being incredibly uncomfortable.
"No, it's an infant primate not an arachnid" Malcolm assured her as he ran a soothing hand down her back before He moved deeper into the labs to the main area they used for cataloguing new specimens and samples retrieved from outside the gates. The place that was normal tidy was a mess of broken glass and knocked over items.
Malcolm picked up the plex and showed her on a plex a picture of the primate and gave her a brief explanation of its species. It reminded her of a Tarsier and this one was incredibly small, furry with big eyes. The last of her anger sapped away as even she wasn't immune to cute baby animals. The picture made her melt inside at how adorable it was but she kept her girly 'awwwh it's so freaking cute!' to herself. Malcolm explained to her that Haynes had captured the baby and kept it in a cage for a month studying and caring for it. Malcolm had no qualms in expressing his opinion on the matter and how he had established protocols for a reason. Kate agreed with him while Haynes looked suitably chastised.
"Ok so a baby monkey about the size of Zoe's fist with long arms and legs and tail is lost in the lab. Anything else I should know?" Kate asked not impressed, she was expecting dinner and a night of hot sex, now she was stuck in the labs looking for a baby primate that should be still out in the wild with its mum and not running loose in a lab thanks to Dr Haynes.
"It is not a baby monkey it's-" Dr Haynes started finding her backbone to correct Kate. But Kate held up a hand stopping her and shook her head.
"Yeah I don't care about the fancy science name you gave the monkey. It isn't going to help me find him faster" Kate said, Dr Haynes made an indignant noise. She just assumed it was a male and used the pronoun to personalise the animal.
"Good luck, we've been trying for the last hour and half and only spotted it twice." Dr Haynes told Kate.
"You two have been searching for over an hour and only thought to lock the doors now?" Kate asked Malcolm and Dr Haynes. The two chagrined and Kate shook her head before moving on.
"Ok, does he have diseases or anything I should be worried about?" Kate asked not liking her luck at not getting bitten in the process of capturing it. She figured she rather know what she was getting into by searching for the little creature.
"No, but it is a vicious primate. It tried to bite me several times so try not to get bitten. I don't want you contaminating the specimen with your blood." Dr Haynes said.
"Oh right why didn't I think about that?" Kate said with a smile looking at Malcolm. It was the kind of smile that said 'I'm trying really hard not to claw her eyes out right now'. Malcolm moved behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders and massaged them slowly.
"Just take a deep breath, would it help if I told you that once we find this infant primate. I will spend the rest of the evening showing you just how much I appreciate your help?" Malcolm asked her in a low voice.
"Yes" Kate said with a sigh as the shoulder massage and his proposition softened her up. Malcolm pushed Kate's hair out of the way and placed a kiss on the back of her neck. It was his signal for saying it was time for them to get back to searching the labs.
"Are you sure the monkey is still in here?" Kate asked them.
"It's a primate and yes as soon as the cage dropped to the floor we quickly closed every door and window. The primate had nowhere to escape" Dr Haynes answered.
"Ok, then perhaps you two should stay here and let me have a go by myself" Kate said as she pulled off her boots and jacket. She highly doubt she would have much luck finding it but understood how the primate felt she'd definitely want to escape if Dr Haynes wanted to study her.
"Oh and what will make you find it when we haven't had much luck?" Dr Haynes asked.
"Well for one I don't make a fraction of the noise you two make stomping around in your hiking boots" Kate said to Dr Haynes. Malcolm took a seat on a stool at the main table knowing when Kate wanted help she would call for help. There was also the fact he and Dr Haynes had been unsuccessful so far.
"Try not kill the specimen, it's just a baby" Dr Haynes told her as she sat down next to Malcolm.
"Please there's barely any meat on him." Kate said rolling her eyes. Malcolm smiled at her humour while Dr Haynes looked horrified.
Malcolm watched as Kate slowly and quietly dimmed all the lights in the labs. He wasn't exactly sure what she was doing but then he was at the point where he just wanted to find the infant primate and go home with Kate. If she would still have him after tonight, sadly it wasn't the first time he had gotten caught up in work and neglected her. Kate understood but everyone had a limit.
He felt horrible for standing Kate up once and now twice. Thanks to Dr Haynes who had broken strict protocols in studying local fauna in its natural habitat. He had written the strict protocols that no scientist should physically interact with the young of any species unless absolutely necessary. Granted he had broken the protocol with the Ankylosaurus but he knew from past research if the baby Ankylosaurus could be helped the mother would take it back.
Unlike this primate species that identified their young by scent. Once Dr Haynes touched that baby primate the damage was done. It had been rejected by its mother. The incompetence and arrogance of the woman was astounding. It just added to the aggravation of the woman who had been clumsy knocking a cage over and the primate escape.
He would have called Kate but he had lost his comm. unit and then with the primate escaping. It had become a mess and he couldn't in good conscious let an infant primate to roam freely in labs or worse escape and be eaten by a predator due to Dr Haynes incompetence.
If anything watching Kate slink around his lab searching for a tiny infant primate made him realise more than anything just how much he loved her. Kate disappeared into his office, if she found the primate he would forever in her debt. It was embarrassing enough he'll have to inform Taylor of Dr Haynes suspension as it reflected poorly on him and his control over his own staff. He really would prefer to not add that they lost the specimen as it was now his responsibility.
After about 5 minutes, Dr Haynes sighed loudly and looked at Malcolm. He wasn't blind to her beauty or the fact he could hold an in-depth academic conversation with her about his work but she really did not hold his attention the same way Kate did.
"She's not going to find the specimen" Haynes whispered to him as she leaned in close. Malcolm sat back from her. Not wanting to encourage her in any way.
"If you had followed protocol the primate would not be our responsibility. We are here to explore and examine not start a zoo by making the local fauna dependant on us. As such tomorrow you will be on suspension until further notice" Malcolm informed her.
"What? This is outrageous! Who will look after my projects?" Haynes hissed.
"I'll delegate them to those who are interested in extra work." Malcolm said calmly.
"That is unacceptable! You can't shut me out of my own projects! I'm going to talk to Commander Taylor about this." Dr Haynes threatened.
"10 am tomorrow good for you?" Malcolm asked calling her bluff. Dr Haynes looked flabbergasted that he wasn't ruffled by the threat and opened her mouth to speak when Kate reappeared looking a little dishevelled and extremely uncomfortable.
"I found it" Kate said quickly to them.
"Where is it?" Dr Haynes asked getting off her seat.
"Safe and secure, so if you two want the monkey? Malcolm stays and you Dr Haynes call it a night and go away" Kate told her, she folded her arms across her chest. Malcolm nodded in agreement as he had had enough of Dr Haynes's presence for one evening.
"Miss Renshaw do try to act your age and be mature about this." Dr Haynes said with disdain.
"I'm way too hungry to be mature about anything right now." Kate told her. Dr Haynes looked to Malcolm to try and resolve the situation.
"Dr Wallace you must appreciate Miss Renshaw is out of her depth. I've been taking care of this primate for the last 4 weeks." Dr Haynes said she touched his arm as if making a physical connection would help her manipulate him to her way of thinking. "Couldn't you persuade her to tell us where the primate is so we can make finish our work for the night?" she asked. Malcolm pursed his lips for a moment and then came to a very easy decision.
"Dr Haynes, go home" Malcolm said he got up from his seat and moved to the closest exit and unlocked the door. He even pushed it open for her a clear sign he was dismissing Dr Haynes. He knew better than to try and fight with Kate when she was hungry and he wanted Dr Haynes gone.
"Dr Wallace-"
"Go home. I will meet you in the Command Centre at 10 am. Goodnight" Malcolm said to Dr Haynes. Dr Haynes looked hesitant for a moment before decided it was better to leave than make a scene. Once she left, Malcolm closed the door and looked to Kate.
"My god, I thought she'd never leave" Malcolm said Kate chuckled weakly at the joke and twitched her shoulders.
"You are looking distinctly uncomfortable" he said.
"You would be too if you were currently being licked by a monkey. Sorry 'infant primate'" Kate said correcting herself. Malcolm was equal parts confused and amused. His confusion was cleared as soon as she turned around and he saw right in the middle of her back just below her shoulder blades under the fabric of her dress was a small but visible lump.
"Dr Haynes was right about one thing. He sure is fast, didn't even buy me a drink before he raced up my sleeve of my dress and got personal with me. I tried to grab him but I was afraid of hurting him so I gave up." Kate said with a sigh as she walked in the direction of his office.
Malcolm followed trying not the laugh and once inside his office he closed the doors and the blinds. Kate slowly removed the top half dress from her body so Malcolm could see the little primate. Any other time it would have been incredibly sexy but Malcolm couldn't stop the smile of humour as he saw the little Primate latched on her back.
"He likes you" Malcolm commented. He looked at the tiny primate with its little clawed hands dug into Kate's back while its feet used the hooks and eyes of her bra to leverage its feet and body. So far the creature hadn't drawn blood but Kate would definitely have marks.
"Yeah I got that impression when he started to lick me. But can you please pull him off me. He's really digging into my skin to hang on. I don't want him drawing blood" Kate said sarcastically as she was referring to Dr Haynes's comment of contaminating the primate.
"You must be giving off a scent or something he likes" Malcolm said in an amused tone. The tiny primate was licking her back like she was his version of catnip. He crossed his left arm across his body and cupped his right elbow. He placed his right hand over his mouth to cover the smile he had on face while he tried to think of a way of removing the primate without it biting him. He already knew the monkey didn't like him. Yet it was happy as a King attached to Kate.
"Yeah I have a theory that it's my moisturiser. Now if you don't get the little pervert off me in the next 10 minutes it's the only thing that will be licking me tonight" Kate said impatiently. Malcolm pressed his lips together trying desperately not to laugh as he knew her threat was empty or at least he hoped so.
(A/N: Yes I made up a cute animal…Anyone with a name suggestions let me know!)
