What We Are

Never break the chain

It was official- Christine was joining the band again. She'd met me and Lindsey for dinner, and after scalding Lindsey for spoiling the surprise, we'd discussed how great this was going to be. With my pregnancy my solo album had been temporarily put on ice, and any touring was out of the question until Lena could walk at the very least, but Christine was chilled and dismissive of her reluctance over the past few years. "Me and Mick talked it all through, we could start some studio work at the end of next year, after you've done with your solo stuff Stevie."
"This is going to be such a great musical opportunity."
"I can't wait! I was worried us girls wouldn't be together again!" I hugged her appreciatively for the second time that night. "Speaking of girls...When can I meet this darling daughter of yours again? I've been hearing so much about her and she was so in demand at the wedding."
"She'll be sleeping right now- Karen's watching her for us, but tomorrow would be great, right Linds?" I said tapping his forearm. "Yeh cool."
"Brill, and I know it's a while off but I'm really excited about this album!"
"Me too!" Lindsey chimed in, gripping my thigh, Chris grinned at us.
"And hopefully I won't have to endure any Buckingham Nicks super-fights now you've packed up and shacked up together..."
"Well I won't promise anything yet," I laughed.

Later in the bathroom I was changing into my nightie, and enjoying the peace in the house for once, when I felt a familiar body press itself against mine, it's lips finding my neck. "Hey," he whispered and I looked up to see my husband in his boxers. "How are you even warm like that Lindsey?
"That's what you're for baby."
"We're going to be so tired tomorrow." I grinned at him and he hauled me over shoulders, and ran into our bedroom giggling.
