Hello everyone. I have a new chapter ready. At the moment it goes on. But next week won't be a new chapter because we celebrate my birthday. But the other week will be a chapter again. Until then I have this chapter for you. Enjoy some fluffiness and smut.

Greetings Petit Erik

Erik POV

Time passed. I had recovered from my injury and my children were literally glued to me. Lou's belly slowly began to show. Again and again our children ran to her and asked to put their little hands on their mother's belly. I found this gesture unspeakably sweet. Whenever they put their hands on her belly, Lou would look up and smile at me. I smiled back with all the joy I could muster and looked up at my wonderful family. Lou meanwhile went to the doctor and had everything checked out in her belly. It was July and unbearably warm. Apparently, my spouse seemed to have an idea. I saw her eyes light up and she looked at me.

"Shall we go outside and relax in the water for a bit, dear?" she asked me.

"Sure. Will you get the kids ready while I quickly change and get everything set up outside?"

She nodded and went upstairs with Josy and Jere. Meanwhile, I quickly went into the bedroom, changed into my bathing suit and a white T-shirt, and then went out to our backyard. Like at Lou's parents' house, it was very large and had a pool. I put up the parasol so that it cast shade towards the pool. Shortly after, Lou arrived with the children. Jere reached out his arms to me and I lifted him to my hip.

"Daddy with me?" he asked me, tilting his head.

"Of course I'm with you. I'll be holding you the whole time."

My son nodded.

"So but now dad still has to take off his shirt, because he's not supposed to bathe in it," I said to my son.

He nodded again and I lifted him down once more. Then I took off my shirt, put it on a chair and lifted my son back up. I climbed the ladder to the pool and then climbed the steps into the water. My son clung to my neck. Slowly I let myself slide into the water and shortly after my wife came in with Josy. Our daughter also held onto her neck and then Lou was with me and Jere.

"Are you all right?", I asked my son.

He nodded and eyed his sister and mother, almost as if he was worried about them. I smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Josy reached down with her little foot and touched the water. She squealed a little and pulled her foot back. But I knew she was curious like her mother. Immediately, she touched the water again and started kicking lightly. The water splashed to my son and me and while he pressed against me, I laughed. Jere looked at me and tried the same thing his sister did. He squealed briefly, but immediately put his foot back in the water. He started kicking too and the water splashed to his mom and sister. Both my girls giggled and Josy fought back with more kicking. We all giggled and Lou started splashing water in my face. I laughed and splashed water on her face too. She joined in the laughter of the kids and me and we enjoyed our happy togetherness with our children.

Louise POV

Our children seemed to like the water already now. They kicked happily with their legs and splashed the other always water in the face. Meanwhile, my hair and the few of Erik were also wet because of the play of the children. My husband laughed happily and our son giggled in his arms. Suddenly Erik handed Jere over to me. My son started to whine and wanted to go back to his father. Erik lay down with his back on the water and stretched out his arms to his son. Carefully, I put Jere on his belly. Erik held him tight and his son pressed against his chest. The same thing Erik did, I now did with Josy. I also lay down on the water and put my daughter on my belly. She giggled happily and looked at her father and brother. Erik held out his hand and waved at her. My little girl giggled and pressed herself against my chest, as Jere did with my husband. We lay there relaxed and our children had their eyes closed. Erik reached out his hand to me and I took it. His lips lifted into a smile and he pressed a kiss to my hand. My cheeks colored and his smile turned into a grin. Jere held his legs in the water and started kicking. As was usually the case, Josy was thrilled by her brother's actions and joined in with glee. Erik and I laughed and our children squealed happily. After an hour of kicking and laughing, we went back into the house.

While Erik changed the kids again, I took off my bathing suit again and hung the wet clothes on the clothes horse to dry. Erik returned from the kids' room, came into the living room and flopped down on the sofa.

"Kids changed and tired. Fell right into bed."

"But we'll have to wake them up again for dinner."

"Don't worry. We won't forget them."

I snuggled up to my husband and he put his arm around me.

"Erik?"

"Hmm."

"What would you do if we had twins again?", I asked him.

"I don't know. I'm sure the kids would love it. But it would be a lot of responsibility again."

"Not that we haven't done that already."

He laughed.

"That's true, though."

He grinned, and I saw his distorted cheek contort even more as a result. Suddenly, something caught my eye.

"Wow," I said.

"What is it?" asked Erik.

"You have dimples on your cheek when you smile. Here," I explained, touching a spot on his deformed cheek.

Then I turned his head slightly and looked on his other cheek. A dimple had formed there as well. I grinned and kissed him on both.

"You look so cute with that," I smiled.

Erik blushed.

"Thank you, dear. I still can't believe sometimes that you can look at me without disgust. I've been used to other things for so long."

"Oh, Erik. Of course I look at you without disgust. I would never look at you any other way. I love you. Your inside and your outside. Both of which I love. Because I love you."

Erik's eyes were wide. Then, with moist eyes, he pulled me into a tight hug. I knew what he was trying to say even without words. I pressed him to me and I felt my neck grow moist. I brought my hand up and gently stroked his few hairs. He sniffled and squeezed his arms around me more. Ayesha jumped on the couch and rubbed against Erik, purring. He leaned back and stroked the Siamese's soft fur.

"See, she wants to show you how much she loves you, too," I said.

"Apparently, she really does. My little diva," he whispered to her.

Ayesha looked at him, meowed, and then jumped off his lap again.

"Sometimes I can't believe she can't be that friendly either," I said, looking after the cat.

"Oh yes she can. Back when I had lived under the opera, she had only trusted Nadir and me. Even Madame had hissed at her when she came to me sometimes."

"Oh wow. I wouldn't have thought so."

"Yes, yes. That's just the way she is."

"Speaking of diva. Weren't you going to train your daughter to be a prima donna?", I asked him.

I saw his face pale and his eyes widen.

Erik POV

Oh God! She still remembered that? It had been ages ago. She had told me this when I came to her. When I had found out I was going to be a father.

"You...you still remember that?", I asked her.

"Of course. Don't think I've forgotten."

"Oh my God," I muttered, dropping my face into my hands.

I heard my wife laugh and she stroked my few hair.

"I'm not so old that I'll forget, dear."

"I was hoping you would."

I felt myself blush. My hands opened slightly from the front and my wife grinned at me.

"Peek peek, opera ghost. Are you all right?"

I returned her grin and cradled my head.

"Well. It's going like this."

"Sure? I have to keep an eye on your health, don't I? You're not that young anymore, are you?"

"I'm sorry, what?!", I exclaimed.

My wife grinned even more and moved away from me slightly. I stood up and walked slowly toward her.

"What did you just call me?", I growled and continued walking towards her.

"Nothing at all," she giggled and continued to walk away from me.

"Oh no? Then I seem to have misheard you, haven't I?"

Slowly, I began to run faster and Lou began to speed up. Soon she was running away squealing and I was chasing her. Laughing, we chased each other around the house until I caught her by her T-shirt in the bedroom, causing her to fall onto the bed. I fell next to her and we laughed loudly and uproariously.

"Wait, I need to see that the kids aren't awake," I said, jumping out of bed for a second and running to our kids' room.

I opened the door and peeked in briefly, but they were both sound asleep. I exhaled with relief, closed the door and walked back towards the bedroom. I closed the door and looked at my wife with ardent desire. Slowly she walked towards me and I could almost feel her desire. Agonizingly slow, she unbuttoned my shirt and slid it off my shoulders. Meanwhile, I took off her T-shirt and pulled it over her head. Meanwhile, she tampered with the waistband of my pants. I did the same with her pants. We each stepped out of our pants and I stroked my wife's belly, where a small bulge was already showing. I stroked it and smiled. Lou pulled me to the bed and together we lay down. I tugged at her underwear and took them off. Then I removed my underwear and aligned my erection with her womanhood. I slipped all the way in and we both groaned. Lou smiled at me and swayed her hips slightly. I grinned and began to move easily inside her. We moved together in a rhythm and I placed my hand on her stomach. I put my other hand on her breast and circled her erect nipple with my thumb. Lou moaned and laid her head deep into the pillow. I bent over and put my mouth on her nipple. Gently I circled it with my tongue and sucked on it. Lou squealed and moaned.

"Don't stop, Erik. Please don't stop."

I grinned around her nipple and continued to suck and lick as I continued to thrust into her. I could feel her tighten around me and feel her trembling and I released into her. I took my mouth off her breast and put my face on it and took a gasping breath. Lou stroked my few hair and I stroked her other breast. Lou purred and I smiled. Gently I slipped out of her and continued to caress her breast. Again I put my mouth around it and started sucking on the nipple. Gently I pulled on it and enjoyed the way Lou arched her back. I didn't even notice how she slowly brought her hand down and it encircled my flaccid member. I moaned and sucked harder on her nipple. She started stroking me and guided her hand up and down. Soon I felt myself stiffening again. My wife grinned and moved her hand faster.

"Oh, Lou," I moaned around her nipple that was still in my mouth.

With a loud pop, I let go of her and went straight to the other one. Louise, meanwhile, guided my now re-erect member into her womanhood. She moaned and moved again. Slowly, I started thrusting into her again. She accommodated me with her own hip movement. Soon I felt her trembling around me again, pushing me into her and spilling my seed inside her again. I took my mouth off her breast and buried my face against her neck. Lou stroked my back and I sighed in pleasure. I pressed my deformed cheek against her soft cheek and Lou clasped my head and stroked my normal cheek. I pressed closer to her and hugged her. We were still connected and the feeling of it was wonderful. Lou bent over a little, grabbed the blanket and put it over both of us. She put her arms around me, kissing the top of my head while I kissed her on the neck. Lou gave another quick jerk of her hips and I looked at her.

"It's all right," she smiled, kissing me on the lips and closing her eyes.

"Don't you want me to pull out of you, dear?", I asked her uncertainly.

"No, it's all right. I'm just fine. Can we please go to sleep now?"

"Of course, angel," I replied, kissing her again, moving inside her once more, eliciting a small moan from her once more.

Then I closed my eyes as well and fell asleep on top of her.
