The first time he brought it up that week was on Monday morning.

The couple was laying in bed, Chris trying to ignore the buzzing of the alarm clock that told him to get up for work. He turned it on snooze, snuggling up to his wife's warm body and started pressing tired kissed along her neck. She happily sighed in her groggy stated and enjoyed the feeling of his lips along her skin.

"I swear the way you kiss my neck could make me do anything," Nina hummed in appreciation with her eyes still closed.

"Anything, huh?" Chris nibbled along her jaw.

Thinking she knew where this was going, she tilted her head to give him better access to her neck and mumbled, "Mhmmmm."

"Even tell me the streaking story?" His voice was low and raspy, but still full of amusement.

Her eyes flew open and she grabbed a pillow and smacked him over the head, making Chris burst into laughter.

The second time was Thursday.

"C'mon Mom! The movie is starting!" Logan called out from the living room.

"I'm coming!" She called out, hurrying down the stairs where she found her whole family curled up for movie night. Everyone was in their usual positions. Jack sat in the chair, Logan and Ryan sprawled on the loveseat with Sargey while Chris sat in the middle of the couch, Sophie snuggled up to one side of him with Fluffy and his other side empty and waiting for her.

She plopped down by her husband and kissed the top of Sophie's head where it laid in Chris' lap. When she sat up, she realized Chris was holding a fork in one hand and a plate in the other. A big slice of half eaten cheesecake was being eaten and Nina quietly asked him, "Are you eating my leftover cheesecake? I was saving that!"

"I'll share it with you..." A smirk appeared on his lips. "If.... you tell me the story."

"Chris! You can't hold my cheesecake hostage for that story!" Nina told him.

He laughed softly while taking another bite, "Looks like I am, babe.... Better hurry up and decide before I eat it all."

"You're evil," Was the last thing she said before her delicious cheesecake was devoured.

The third time was Sunday night.

"Uno!" Sophie squealed, putting down her final card on the table. "I win! I win!"

"Awww I was so close!" Ryan groaned, looking at the two colorful cards in his hands. "Let's play again."

Jack put his cards on the table and said, "I'm out for the next round, I want to call Jane before bed."

"I think we're all done for tonight. It's getting late and you guys have school tomorrow," Nina looked at the children's sweet faces.

They let out a collective groan but obeyed their mother, getting up from the table and got hugs and kisses from their parents before going up to bed. Chris stayed sitting at the table, stacking up all the cards to put them away while Nina collected the mugs from the table and was going to take them to the kitchen but got stopped before she could.

"Hey Nina... I have an idea," He started while shuffling the cards.

"What's that?" She asked, picking up the box that had fallen to the floor.

"Let's play a round, just you and me and settle this once and for all," Chris began. "If I win, you tell me the streaking story, and if you win, I never bring it up again."

Nina put her slender hands on the curve of her hips and couldn't help but wonder, "Why have you been so curious about that story lately?"

"Because our oldest son is 16 years old and I've been hearing about it since we were dating! I think I've waited long enough..." Chris trailed off with a chuckle, smoothing out his white tee shirt.
