The Fire Girl: A One Chicago Fanfiction

Chapter 49

The night Kelly came home we got the kiddos taken care of and all put to bed. Even Kinsley went down beautifully for us. He ran me a bath and when I walked into the bathroom it was heaven. There were two filled wine glasses, a lit candle, and a hot bath all there for me.

"You're the best husband ever," I sighed in joy, pressing a kiss to Kelly's lips.

"Please, it's the least I can do."

"Well why don't you join me? We could both use a little relaxation."

He quickly agreed, sliding into the tub before I slid in, resting my back against his chest. We had suction cup wine glass holders on the wall, so we placed our glasses there. His fingers traced designs on my arms and upper back before moving to massage my shoulders. I couldn't help but let out a moan of appreciation. After he loosened up my muscles we just sat there, chatting and enjoying each other's company.

"It's been too long since we've had a moment like this," Kelly sighed as he rested his head against the tub wall.

"Agreed. We need more us nights."

"Well let's plan on making that happen then," he spoke, pressing a kiss to my bare shoulder.

Eventually we got up and drained the tub before taking a quick shower together to actually get clean. Nothing was better than the feeling of Kelly washing my hair. These simple intimate moments weren't always often, but always highly appreciated.

When we climbed out, Kelly pulled on his black boxers. I dried my hair a bit before throwing on panties and one of his old t-shirts. Despite him trying to hide it, I noticed him trying to crack his back a few times.

"Back bothering you?" I questioned as I rubbed on my face lotion.

"Eh got knocked on my ass on a call, so it's sore. But I'll live."

"Turn over."

"What?"

"Just turn over."

Kelly agreed, rolling onto his stomach on the bed. I climbed on him, straddling his ass as I grabbed my body lotion. I began digging my fingers into his tightly wound muscles, causing a groan the slip through his lips.

"I swear you have magic fingers," he complimented.

"Yeah you say that when I do a lot of things to you," I smirked to which he let out a different kind of groan.

"Don't start something we both know you can't finished."

With a chuckle I went back to working his muscles. Once he was all loosened up, he caught me off guard by rolling over and tightly gripping my hips. We both chuckled at his antics as he took one hand to tuck my hair behind my ear.

"I love you, you know that?"

"I know. And I love you too."

We made out like horny teenagers, unable to do much else. It felt like we were young and dumb again, just roommates full of lust. And I love it. Then the sound of crying brought me back to our reality. Pulling back from Kelly, I dropped my head down in a groan. He couldn't help but chuckle at me.

"I've got her," he smiled, giving me one more kiss before I rolled off him and he got up.

Scooping her up from the bassinet by our bed, he slid back in beside me. He handed Kinsley to me and I latched her on.

"Thanks."

"After this one I've got the night feedings. You just get some sleep," Kelly spoke, kissing my forehead.

"Thanks babe.  I can't wait."

"I bet. Kids have off of school tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah teacher in-service. I have no idea what we're going to do with them tomorrow."

"It's supposed to be like 80. Why don't we take them to the zoo?"

"That's not a bad idea."

We ended up roping Matt and Sylvie into coming to the zoo with us which made it even more fun. The babies were in strollers and Kelly pulled a wagon with the bigger kids. It was always so much fun to see how fascinated they are with the different kinds of animals, no matter how many times they've seen them before.

"This was a good call Corin," Sylvie smiled as we stood in front of the penguins, "It's nice to get out of the house, enjoy the sun, and have contact with other adults."

"I told ya," I chuckled, "We get the zoo pass which makes it for a great deal. And take them as often as we can. It's totally worth it."

A FEW WEEKS LATER

"There's a protest going on this afternoon over the fact that they overturned Roe v. Wade this morning," I explained to Kelly, "since we don't have shift I want to go and bring the kids. I found one that's family friendly."

"You sure you want to take all the kids?"

"I am a mother of two daughters who have less rights than there grandmother had which is messed up. They deserve to see it's their future too I'm fighting for."

"I'm okay with it, I'm just double checking."

With that we made up a few signs, and got the others from 51 to join us. I explained to Ember in child terms what we're protesting and she was on board.

When we arrived at the protest, I slid my baby girl into my chest carrier. Ember held my hand in in hand and her sign in the other. Kelly had Ashton on his shoulders while Matt put Eli on his.

"Ember is really into this," Sylvie stated surprised.

"She's Corin's mini me. What else did you expect?" Kelly chuckled.

Nothing will ever be more beautiful too me than not only the sound of my baby girl chanting 'My body, my choice.' But hearing my husband and our boys chanting right along with us 'Theie bodies, their choice'. I reaffirmed that I had married an amazing man and that we were raising outstanding boys. And in a world this crazy, that's all I could teach me kids.
