CH14 (95)

It was now 1 month later:

It had been later that day and Alexis had taken her sisters out to one of the exterior greenhouses to help her with the plants. A few of them needed to be moved into larger pots so they could grow.

Rick had Kate in their bed and was slowly removing her clothes. It had been three months and he was going to take his time the first time.

Rick had Kate breathing heavy as he worked his way down from top to bottom. When her pants finally started to come off, Kate stiffened. Rick was about to see her leg. Her ugly, ugly leg.

Rick however barely lingered over the area. It's not that he didn't touch it, he did, but it wasn't the part of Kate that interested him most at the moment.

They were lying together wrapped up in each other after Kate had two orgasms and Rick the one.

Kate was happy, just not yet stated. So she reached down to see if her husband was ready for round two.

Kate soon had him just the way she wanted him and rolled over till she was on top and straddled over him

Kate was soon leaning down over the top of Rick breathing heavy and still calming down from the orgasm she had been given by her husband. And looking into his eyes she kissed him and used her tongue asking for entrance.

Several kisses later Kate was just laying on top of him, resting. Rick has his arms wrapped around Kate holding her in place. Three long months and they were both right where they wanted to be.

Kate started to move off of Rick. "Oh no, you're right where I want you." Rick tightens his hold on her.

Kate immediately relents and softens to try and meld in better with him.

"I'm not concerned with how your leg looks Kate. I didn't marry your leg, I married you." Rick whispers to her.

"But I'm damaged babe, I'm ugly." This time Kate felt damaged, she could see the damage.

Rick rolled her over. "Now you listen to me Katherine Houghton Castle, you are not ugly. Your babies do not see you as ugly. Alexis doesn't see you as ugly and I see you as anything but ugly.

You were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen when I met you. Your arm was broken, your ribs were hurt, your leg was a mess and you had a concussion.

I think you were in worse shape then and I still thought you were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and you still are. The only one who has a problem with your leg is you.

Did you feel ugly when you were injured when we found you?" Rick asks her.

"No, just lost." Kate whispers.

"Well this time you're not ugly and definitely not lost, and you're going to find out tomorrow just how not ugly and lost you actually are." Rick tells her having come up with a plan, he hoped didn't backfire on him.

They had about 45 minutes of cuddle time left before Alexis brought the girls back and Rick made the most of it.

The next day was pretty close to being a repeat of the previous day. Kate woke up on top of Rick with both wearing bed clothes, in case the girls came charging in. Which was easy to do since there were no doors, just screens to separate the areas, just like last time.

Kate got to cuddle with Rick trying to make up for lost time. Kate still loved having him next to her.

This was followed by cuddle time with her girls, followed by a trip to medical for physical therapy.

Physical therapy left Kate tired and was back in their dome taking a nap after taking a pain pill.

Kate knew Rick had something planned for later today and it didn't sound like sex, even though she wanted to make love to him. Kate still saw him as the love of her life. But she was so broken now. Kate had seen her leg during physical therapy and it was really ugly. A normal looking thigh and a pencil for a calf area.

Kate knew her breasts had never been her strong point. They were a nice size but they weren't going to get noticed by every man. Her long legs however where her strong suit. She could wear dresses that showed them off and her running style involved long strides. Now she couldn't run at all and tomorrow was another trip on the bars.

Kate had been feeling bad about herself when she finally went to sleep.

While sleeping she relived her first few nights at the summer house after crashing. Rick had already captured her heart the moment she had seen him. She was broken and damaged and yet he was flirting with her, even teasing her, and she had wanted him.

Her injuries hadn't concerned her then, why did they concern her this time?

Even now when she felt bad all he had to do was show up and her heart would skip a beat. Kate loved him more than anything.

Kate was twisting, turning and moaning in her sleep as Rick made love to her that very first time. He had teased her to the breaking point and she had fallen all over him, wanting him.

Kate woke up alone in bed and she could still feel her heart racing. Kate knew just what kind of dream she had. Kate was still amazed that Rick could do that to her. He wasn't even in their bed and she wanted him, good leg or bad.

Kate also noticed one more thing as she was waking up, her panties were soaked. Now things were going to get embarrassing. She could change them if she could get to them, but they weren't close enough. And then her husband stepped in. "You're awake. Have a nice nap?" Rick got down and helped lift her into her chair.

"Restroom first?" Rick offered before he was ready to delivery her surprise as promised.

Kate perked up, maybe a way out of this gracefully. "Sure, fresh panties first."

"Is there something wrong with the ones you're wearing?" Rick sensed something was going on. Why is she interested in clean panties all of a sudden?

"I haven't had a real shower in months and I feel dirty." Kate lies by telling a half truth.

"Hhhmmm." Rick thinks about it. It was plausible but wasn't convinced, but he wheeled her over to her clothes anyway.

Rick left her at the entrance. Kate could transfer herself without problem. It was here that allowed her a chance to clean up and change to something drier. It may be embarrassing, but Kate was grinning. She loved him and still wanted him and she could actually do something about it now.

Kate tried to wheel herself back out where Rick collected her and wheeled her to medical.

"What are we doing here?" Kate had already had her physical therapy for the day. She didn't know of any other planned activities.

Rick wheeled her over to one of the beds. "Hop up and lay down." Rick tells her and heads for a cabinet that Madison had told him she would put it in for him.

Kate was now lying on the bed and Rick came over and moved her chair out of the way and then started to remove Kate's clothes. "Rick, this is a public space." Kate was willing to take risks, but this wasn't a simple risk of being caught.

"Not for the next hour it's not. Unless there is an emergency." Rick explains and continues removing Kate's clothes.

He soon has her naked however. "Turn over." And Kate turns over on her stomach. Then she feels a towel cover her lovely rear end.

"Babe?" Kate didn't understand, but soon found Rick's oily hands working over her shoulders, then down her back. Followed by her arms, then back to her shoulders.

As Rick worked his way down her back he skipped over her covered rear end and started with the foot of her good leg, working his way up.

Then switched to the foot of her injured leg working his way up, messaging her muscles all the way.

Rick leaned down to whisper into her ear." Turn over babe."

After Kate turns herself over Rick starts on her shoulders again moving down each arm.

Then he switches to messaging Kate's breasts, pinching her nipples till they are both hard and getting a moan from Kate.

Then he moves down to the foot on her good leg and works his way up just whispering over the area between her legs.

Rick moves down to the foot of her injured leg getting Kate to moan in complaint that he left where she wanted his hands.

Kate could feel his hands move up her injured leg messaging her muscle in her injured lower leg, following his hands as they work their way up her thigh.

Finally his hands are where she wants them and Rick is putting his hand and fingers to good use, as he listens to Kate moan and squirm around on the bed. Until she finally releases and screams from the pleasure of his hand and fingers.

After Kate calmed down she opened her eyes to see Rick's eyes smiling back at her. As her mind returned she found she was completely covered with a towel except for her legs.

"Feeling better?" Rick asks grinning.

Kate didn't yet trust her voice so she could only smile at him. Then she felt him rubbing her injured leg with a still oily hand.

"You're leg is injured. It was injured the first time we met. I didn't care then and I don't care now." Rick stops rubbing her injured leg and leans down to look into her eyes. "So listen babe and listen good. I love you. I loved you before your leg was injured and I love you still after the injury.

I don't care what other people see when they look at you. I only know what I see when I look at you.

The love of my life and the mother of our children. You're not escaping from me, today, tomorrow or any other day.

Am I clear now?" Rick asks still looking in her eyes that are watering as the tears run down the side of her face, and with her lips quivering Kate nods her head.

"Good! I have one more surprise for the day." Rick tells her. "You need to get dressed a little, so sit up and put your top on." As Rick hands over her top.

Rick helps her put her pants on. "Now plant your butt in this chair and we can leave."

After Kate gets out of bed by herself with only a twinge of pain now, Rick drops the rest of her clothes in her lap and starts pushing.

Kate doesn't understand where they are going but she sees her girls in the distance. They are standing in front of the woman's shower room. Alexis has a hold of Emily and Kali and doesn't allow them to go to their mother.

As Rick pushes Kate past them. "We'll stand guard dad." Kate can hear Alexis tell him. 'Stand guard?'

Kate twists around to look after they pass. Alexis pushed Kali out to one side and pushes Emily out to the other side of her. Effectively blocking access to the shower area.

Rick stops and takes the items Kate is holding and places them on a bench. "Stand up." Rick commands in a tone of voice that doesn't allow for the word no.

Kate stands and Rick pushes the chair away. "Now strip." And Kate sees Rick start taking his shirt off.

"Babe?" Kate hasn't caught on yet.

"You're taking your first shower in 3 months and I'm the one who is going to wash you this time. Now strip." Rick tells her, as his shirt comes off with his shoes next.

Kate is grinning as she starts unbuttoning her top. After it is off she throws it onto her chair where Rick's clothes are going. Kate had always been comfortable naked in Rick's presence and she was getting another chance at seeing his arms and chest. The two parts she loved most on him.

And Kate was going to love being bra less again now that she was cleared for sex. It allowed Rick easy access and it seemed to get his attention everywhere she went. Just like being back in the summer house when she didn't actually have a choice only having the one bra.

Rick is down to his boxers when he steps over to help Kate remove her pants.

Rick had washed both of them and had made sure to wash every nook and cranny of Kate's body, including her legs. Then he dried both of them with the towels in the shower area.

Half an hour later a clean and thoroughly happy Kate is exiting the shower area collecting her girls as she does. "Feeling clean now mom?" Alexis was grinning since she was in on both the message and the shower. Just not what Rick did during the message, besides a message. But she could guess. Still loving that her parents loved each other.

"Did you need a pillow mom?" Alexis couldn't help but tease her.

Kate's mouth hits the floor, then she starts grinning. "No, I forgot to use it." Kate was still grinning remembering what Alexis had told her years ago.

The next day was a repeat of the previous ones. Kate woke up on top of her husband and instantly started smiling. What he had done for her yesterday had been amazing. Kate had been scared but was now feeling much better.

Kate soon had a bed full of children and husband and was cuddling with all of them as best she could.

Alexis took the girls to the showers while Rick pushed Kate into the kitchen and started breakfast for the colony. Alexis and the girls soon joined them all clean.

"Are you staying mom?" Emily asks her.

"Of course sweetie, I'm getting better. I'll be just like the mommy you remember in no time." Kate strokes her and kisses the side of her head.

Madison and Shawn soon joined them. "You're getting bigger Mags." Kate notes her baby bump is getting bigger.

Madison places a hand on her stomach. "Yea he or she is still growing. I'll be as big as a house in no time." Madison was smiling. She was thinking what her's and Kate's children could do together as they grew up.

"And your breasts will start to hurt. Your feet will get bigger. Your back will start to hurt. You'll love Shawn one minute and hate him the next. Happy one day depressed the next. And don't get me started on the junk you eat." Kate teases her.

"Be nice Becks or I'll make you suffer during your walk today." Madison teases back.

"When is the first launching of our submarine?" Rick asks looking at Shawn.

"Tomorrow sometime. The dome is constructed and everything is ready. I was going over her earlier getting her ready." Shawn tells him.

"Tell me when and I'll be there to help you." Rick offers.

"Thanks, I could use it to launch her." Shawn was happy to have the help.

"She?" Madison asks, hearing Shawn refer to it as a "her".

"All ships are a her." Rick answers for him. "Ask Roy next time he is here if his ship is a her."

"So I suppose you gave it a girl's name." Madison challenges, sounding jealous a little.

"It doesn't need a girl's name for the ship to be a she, however there are ships that do." Rick answers.

"And no I haven't named it/her yet. Hadn't really thought of it." Shawn shrugs his shoulders.

"What are we going to name our ship dad?" Alexis asks.

"I'm with Shawn, I haven't really thought about it." Rick shrugs his shoulders too.

"How about Atlantis?" Alexis offers.

"Atlantis?" Kate didn't get it.

Atlantis (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, "island of Atlas") is the name of a fictional island mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, where it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens". Lucy provides the response to all of them.

"Interesting. Any others?" Kate asks her.

"Radiant?" Alexis offers not liking it as much.

"Lady Kate." Rick offers getting Alexis to smile and Kate to glare at him.

"Phoenix." Rick offers instead. Getting Kate and the others to look at him funny.

In Greek mythology, a phoenix or phenix (Ancient Greek φοίνιξ phóinīx) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Lucy provides the response to all of them.

"What do you think Emily? What name do you like?" Alexis asks her.

Emily scrunches her face like she has seen others do. Choose a name for something. Not understanding what the name is actually for. But she did remember one name. "MOMMY!"

"Kali sweetie, what name do you like?" Rick asks her. Knowing she probably isn't understanding any of it.

"MOMMY!" Kali tells them with conviction, following her sister.

"Lady Kate it is." Rick tells them.

"They said mommy babe, not Lady Kate." Kate points out.

"And what is their mommy's name?" Rick glares at Kate. "Lady Rick doesn't sound right." Rick was grinning.

"Very funny ha, ha." Kate would punch him if he was close enough, so she wiggles her finger beckoning him closer. Once he is close enough and Rick leans it to kiss her, Kate punches him lightly.

Rick rubs his arm. "Husband beating. Where's my lawyer?" Rick grins at Kate and leans down to kiss her head. "I still think Lady Kate is the winner."

"Pumpkin?" Kate asks turning to look at her.

"I agree with my sisters, Mommy." Alexis grins.
