...
The party at the White house went well, although Reese and Maggie's absence was noted. Marissa's roast dinner was a huge sucess and the kids greatly appreciated the sail boat cake that Bianca had order for dessert.
AJ went to bed announcing that he had had the best day ever and Miranda was also wearing a gleeful expression about something. Gabby was also very happy, but in her view any day that ended with cake was a good day.
Bianca climbed into bed with a sigh.
"Another good day!"
Marissa snuggled in beside her.
"Another good day." she agreed.
"So what excitement do you have planned for tomorrow?" Bianca asked as she tried to settle comfortably on her side.
Marissa gave a chuckle,
"I thought the kids would be so exhausted that we would have a quiet day tommorrow."
"And if that doesn't work?"
"Then I'm sure we'll think of something quiet but fun... Movie night or something?
Bianca nodded.
"Yeah." She said sleepily. If the kids hadn`t been worn out, she sure had.
Just then they heard the clunk of the front door closing.
"That will be Maggie and Reese." Bianca muttered.
"I wonder where they went today?" Marissa whispered as she nestled close to Bianca, her lips by her ear.
Bianca simply shrugged.
Marissa strained her ears to listen for Maggie's footsteps as she climbed the stairs.
She listened... and listened...
No footsteps came.
She raised her eyebrow at the thought and turned to make comment to Bianca. Then she noticed that her lover was already asleep.
Marissa sighed and planted a soft goodnight kiss on Bianca's cheek.
"I love you, you know." she whispered, and even in her sleep Bianca's lips curled into her perfect little smile.
