"Tish!" I shout through the house as I finish putting a pair of earrings on "When will the sitter be here?". Tonight we are going on a very much needed date night Morticia won't tell me where though or what we are doing. The only thing I was told was to dress nice and to eat a bit before we leave.

I find her in the kitchen making Hubert and Raven a drink. I freeze when I spot larissa stood leaning against the counter. "What the hell is she doing here?" I ask as my eyes dart between the two women. "There wasn't anyone else available to watch the kids. I asked Enid and Wednesday but it's one of Enids brothers weddings and they are there." Tish explains. I give her a look before sighing and leaving the kitchen.

After a while Morticia and I go to the car after I reluctantly leave the kids with Larissa. Morticia let's me play with her rings as our driver takes us to wherever tish is taking me on a date. We pull up to a building and we thank Hector as we climb out of the car.

A confused frown forms on my face as I spot a large building with many people walking into it "Tish where are we?". She grins passing me a mask and putting one on herself "We are at a masquerade ball mon cheri.". My eyes widen as I stare at her "Morticia I can't dance! I have the coordination of a..a...I don't know what!". She laughs placing a kiss on my cheek "you shall be fine". I scoff taking her hand as she walks us in.

The room is filled with many many people and a ton of tables. Some longer tables have food laid across them whilst people are sat at the other tables. Tish takes me over to a food table and picks up a weird salmony looking thing. She taps the bottom of my chin and I roll my eyes as I open my mouth. A hum falls from my mouth at the taste before my face changes to be disgusted at the after taste. She picks up a glass of wine off of the same table and holds it for my mouth for me to take a sip.

I'm pulled onto the dance floor amongst many other people making me make a face at Tish "Tish I swear-". "You will be fine" She reasures me. I nod slightly and I stand close to her. One of morticia's hands rest on my waist whilst her other holds onto one of my hands. I place my hand on her shoulder and I stare at her as she moves us to dance with the music. The music speeds us slightly and I gasp slightly as tish throws me to the side then pulls me back quickly. A smile appears on both of our faces as we dance with the rest of the room starting to watch us.

The song ends and the room is filled with the sounds of clapping. A blush covers my face as Morticia leads us over to a table. I place a hand on my stomach as I try to catch my breath. Morticia sits down infront of me and pulls me to straddle her lap. Her hand cups my face as she smiles at me cautiously "is everything okay Mon cheri?". I nod still struggling to catch my breath "m..mhm. I just can't move the same as I did..three kids ago". I place my forehead against my wife's as I focus on my breathing.

A flash goes off making me jump as tish places a hand over my eyes.  I look to the left of me and I spot a woman with a camera. I spot morticia growing angry instantly as the woman nervously mutters out "I'm so sorry. I had to get pictures of everyone here and after that performance I just had to get a photo of the two of you.". Morticia scoffs "you didnt have to blind my wife in the process. I give her a look as I dig my nails into her shoulder "Morticia she was being nice.".

The woman hands us three photos. One of us with morticia's hand on my face, one with our foreheads together and one of us dancing. I smile massively as I thank the woman over and over again. She leaves and I stay sat on Morticia's lap as I stare at the photo. "We should get photos of us and the kids done" I mutter out as I slide the photos into my purse. Tish nods and stands us up.
