Warren and his family had been here just over a week, and already I had slunk into the shadows and was very afraid of Warren's capability. A paternity test had been done, and Warren was indeed David's son which did send a feeling of disappointment into my heart. I didn't understand how he could be so different to David. But then again its nurture over nature.

My love for David didn't diminish, but at the same time I knew I was with drawing from him because, as much as I hated Warren and wanted him out of our lives, I could never be that selfish. David cared about him and felt and overwhelming guilt, almost as bad as the guilt he felt when he finally found Ella and I when we had parted ways, because David was not one to run from the responsibility, especially not when there was a child concerned. It was because of this, I couldn't tell David about who Warren truly was.

Since Warren had stepped into our home, he had again made several moves on me including kisses and squeezing my ass, as if trying to dare me to run and tell David. I never would. His wife and daughter, on the other hand, were caring and considerate and decent people. However, I couldn't figure out what Warren's end game was though. I couldn't get my head around how flirting with me was going to, in anyway, achieve and end goal.

"Hey baby," David murmured in my ear before kissing his way up my neck and jaw.

I turned to face him, holding his hands, "Hey baby. I'm glad we can finally be alone tonight."

"Mmmmm," he replied. He kissed me again, "So am I."

"Brandy, ice cream and twilight?" I asked.

"You have me until twilight," David laughed, "Bourne ultimatum?"

"Can we agree on a compromise?" I asked.

"I'm listening," David flirted.

"Star Wars?" I offered.

"Oh baby," David moaned, "You know how to turn me on!"

I kissed him again, "Don't. I. Just."

It was the first night in almost two weeks that we had had the evening alone. The kids were all out on dates and Warren and his family were out for dinner meaning that, for once, I could have my husband to myself and even if we didn't have sex, I could at least enjoy his company. I loved my kids more than anything but I missed the days when David and I could curl up on the sofa together and watch films with a cheap bottle of wine and ice cream.

"I love how much of a cheap date you are," David laughed as he walked into the kitchen to get the brandy and ice cream, "Makes my life easier."

"I could always drag you into the bedroom and fuck you hard if you want it to be cheaper," I offered sweetly from the room next door while I got the films, "I could really turn on your lightsaber."

"Tempting," David laughed, "But I don't wanna hurt our baby who is so close now."

David kneeled before me and kissed my stomach. I was now at thirty two weeks and looked like I was about to pop the baby out there and then. Regardless of all we had been through, I knew David loved me, no matter how I looked, or how large I got while pregnant with one of our, so called, angels.

"You're beautiful," David murmured.

"And you are a liar," I laughed.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on," David flirted as we walked back into the living room together.

"Your eyes aren't the only thing that you've laid on me," I laughed.

David laughed, "Very true."

The film was put on and left to play while David and I cuddled up to each other, the brandy and ice cream slowly decreasing in it's content. David more so the brandy and me more so the ice cream. I snuggled in closer to my husband.

"I can't wait until you retire!" He whispered, his hands leisurely stroking under my top.

"What?" I asked, "I'm only forty two."

"I know but I want you to retire for selfish reasons," David replied.

"Such as?" I pressed.

"Such as spending more time with you. Having moments like this without fear of them being cut short. Being able to lay in bed for hours and let the world pass us by," David said, "You know the little things."

I smiled, "That sounds perfect, but i can't retire just yet. I'll retire when Aurora turns twenty so she'll be old enough to be able to start managing it on her own. Until then she's still a trainee and still learning."

"I know," David responded, "I just miss our time."

David slowly brought his lips onto mine and we fell back with him leaning over me. Even at sixty, he had the energy and sex drive of a puma which I had always and still loved. Our kissing was becoming more passionate and slowly clothing was being removed before we heard a key turning in the lock from the front door. We immediately stopped what we were doing and pulled away to adjust our clothing and the resumed our previous position of cuddling on the sofa. A small giggle and snort was the last emotion before all became normal again.

"Hey mum! Hey dad!" Aurora poked her head in the door.

"Hey Rory," I replied, "Hey Luke."

David jaw stiffened. He wasn't used to Luke, "Hey kids!"

"Omg you guys are watching Star Wars?" Rory said.

The two sat down on the other sofa. I laughed, "How was your evening?"

"It was great," Luke replied, "I fell on my arse several times."

"Babe you were THAT bad a roller blading," Rory laughed, pawing his chest affectionately.

"Says you who easily dominated it," Luke responded.

"Love you baby," Rory said.

The kids kissed and I couldn't help but smile. Seeing their love for each other reminded me of mine and David's love for each other and the beginning of our relationship and, when I looked at him, I could tell he was reminded of the same beauty.

"Right I think it's time we went to bed," I said nudging David.

"Errrr yeah," David joined in, "We should."

"Come on!" I whispered.

We climbed up the stairs, our fingers entwined. We climbed into bed and I once again cuddled up close to him. His arms enveloped me into the embrace and I snuggled into is chest, breathing in his scent.

"I love you David," I said.

"Love you too baby," He replied.
