Alice's P.O.V
The next morning when I woke up, I sat up on the bed and felt quite sore. I groaned in pain as quietly as I could, so I didn't wake up Paul. Unfortunately, he heard me.
"Love, are you alright?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm just sore, like I said I would be" I said
"Oh love, I'm sorry" Paul said. He took me in his arms and gently pulled me into his lap. His hands rested on my bum and he gently stroked it.
"You're all bruised. I'm so, so sorry, love" Paul said.
"Paulie, its fine. It's not like I haven't been sore before. Gym class has done worse things to me, trust me" I said
"Like what?" Paul asked
"A girl who really didn't like me hit me square in the face with a dodgeball. I went home with a broken, bleeding nose and a black eye" I said
"If only I had known you then. I would have been there to take care of you and make you feel better" Paul said. He pressed a gentle kiss to my shoulder.
"I suppose I should go pick up the girls" I said
"Do you want me to come with you?" Paul asked.
"Why wouldn't I?" I said.

During the ride to Maude and Albert's, I kept shifting in my seat, as it hurt to sit. Paul kept glancing over at me.
"Are you sure it doesn't hurt that much?" Paul asked
"I'm fine. It's more uncomfortable than painful" I said. That may have been a slight lie, because it really was painful to sit. I just needed Paul to stop worrying.
"Alright, I just feel bad because maybe I did-"
"You didn't hurt me too much. I promise I'm fine" I reassured
"If you say so" Paul said

When we pulled up in front of the house, Paul stepped out of the car first. Just before I could step out, Paul rushed over to my side and picked me up.
"What are you doing?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Carrying you" Paul said
"I can see that but why?" I questioned.
"This is my way of taking care of you when you're hurting" Paul said
"I know I said I'm sore and all, but it only really hurts when I sit. I'm okay to walk" I said
"Maybe I just like carrying my beautiful wife" Paul said. I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Do you know how much I love you?" I asked
"Not as much as I love you" Paul said. When we made it to the door, Paul gently put me down and then I rang the doorbell. There was an immediate answer.
"Hello you two! Please, come in. The girls are just eating right now" Maude said. We followed her inside.
"Did the girls behave?" I asked
"They sure did. You two raised three angels" Maude said
"Well, Paul is their father" I said
"And their mother is a beautiful angel herself" Paul said.
"Aww! You two are cute! I never see enough couples like you two" Maude said. We ended up in the kitchen, where the girls were finishing up breakfast.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Ethel said when she saw us. She literally jumped out of her chair and ran over to us, giving us both a hug.
"Hi, sweetie" I said
"Did you have fun?" Paul asked
"We did, daddy" Ethel said.
"That's good to hear. Are you're bags all packed up because we're leaving shortly" Paul said
"Yes daddy. I also packed Mary and Stella's bags. I'll go get them" Ethel said. She ran off to go get the bags.
"Are you two just about ready to go?" I asked, walking towards Mary and Stella. Stella held out her arms for me so I picked her up.
"Daddy, can you pick me up?" Mary asked.
"Of coarse I can, little one" Paul said. He picked up Mary.
"Now we just have to wait for Ethel" I said. Without thinking, I sat down but quickly stood up when I felt the pain.
"Are you alright Alice?" Maude asked
"Yeah" I said.
"She just accidentally fell down the stairs last night" Paul said.
"My goodness! Are you alright though Alice?" Maude asked
"I'm fine. Paul was there to take care of me" I said
"I'll always be there to take care of my klutzy wife" Paul said. Maude smiled at us and put her hand over her heart.
"Aww! I'm serious, you two are precious" she said. Ethel joined us again with the bags.
"I'm ready" Ethel said.
"Alright. Thanks again for having them over" I said
"Albert and I didn't mind, and Lilly had fun with them. We'll be happy to have them spend the night anytime" Maude said
"Whenever Lilly wants to spend the night, she can" Paul said
"We'll keep that in mind" Maude said. We said our goodbyes and left for home.

By the time we got home, I was still feeling sore so I decided to take a bath.
"I'm still feeling sore so I'm going to take a bath" I said
"Are you okay mommy?" Ethel asked
"She's fine. She just accidentally fell down the stairs" Paul said
"That's right, so now I'm going to have a bath to make me feel better" I said. Paul smirked and leaned in close to my ear.
"How about I join you?" Paul whispered. I playfully smacked his arm.
"Paulie, you're such a dirty boy sometimes" I said
~
Once I had filled the tub and stripped my clothes off, I stepped in. The hot water felt so soothing against my skin, especially where I was feeling sore. Not even a minute later, the door opened and in walked Paul. He then closed the door.
"Paul, what are you doing?" I asked
"I was being serious when I said I'd join you" he said. He started to undress himself. Once all his clothes were removed, he joined me in the tub.
"How are you feeling now, love?" Paul asked
"Better, now that you're here with me" I said. With that, Paul took me in his arms and pulled me into a passionate kiss.
