• If the darkness is to keep us apart... -- Dominique, 08:37:12 01/13/07 Sat
  • Take a look at my girlfriend -- Brett, 08:57:22 01/13/07 Sat
    • "You know, in this world we live in, cell phones are so inescapable. Personally though, I find it the most rude when people are constantly answering or making calls while out to eat... I hate phone calls at the breakfast, lunch, or dinner table." She was infamous for rants - hot-tempered but also thankfully one of the most forgiving people in the world. As she trailed off, she leaned back against the wall and watched her friends in the distance of their table for a long moment, and then allowed her gaze to wander, her free hand spreading slowly over her enormous swollen stomach. She felt as big as a house these days, but she still looked amazing - bright and healthy... When she wasn't scolding him for one reason or another, that was. (NT) -- Dom, 09:03:02 01/13/07 Sat
• "I hate when my pregnant girlfriend doesn't respect my simple requests, Dominique." He stated with a growl to his voice, his brow furrowed as he leaned forward to pick up the cigar and taking a long drag off of it. "When are you coming home?" It wasn't that he didn't want her to have a life. He would love for her to be able to come and go as she pleased, to be able to go out with her friends, to go shopping or to a movie with the girls but unfortunantly because of the life she had been unknowingly dragged into, that just wasn't an option for her. Until Luca was behind bars in isolation, unable to get any of his cronies to do his dirty work, Dom had to live life in a gilded cage. All Brett could do was make life as easy as possible for her but also unfortunantly, it wasn't in his nature to be appeasing or cajoling. He was used to saying jump and having people say how high and the fact that Dom fought him like she did both enraged him and also endeared her even more to him..... (NT) -- Bret, 09:07:33 01/13/07 Sat
• "Every half hour, Brett? That's a bit excessive." She, once again, expressed her displeasure at having to be babysat twenty-four/seven, despite the fact that she knew that he believed wholeheartedly that it was necessary. Sighing quietly, she rubbed her stomach slowly, shrugging even though he couldn't see the gesture - though she could see him imagining her doing it, just as she could imagine him sitting at his desk, elbow on the desk, or maybe leaning back in his chair. "I don't know, baby... We just finished up eating..." They'd talked about strolling down the boardwalk and maybe popping in to a couple of stores along the way - it was a chilly winter day, but the sun was out and they were all dressed appropriately. (NT) -- Dominique, 09:17:23 01/13/07 Sat
• The displeasure in her voice was nothing new. Sadly, he was used to her being pissed with him and he had a feeling it wasn't going to stop being such a regular occurance until Luca was gone. He was the thorn in their side, the dent in their relationship even though he was no longer directly in Dom's life. He was a stumbling block for them to grow together and Brett was painfully aware of that. His hand lifted to run over his face before he spoke again, carefully. "Did you eat enough?" The question was not to pressing, he supposed. It was one that any concerned father to be would prose to his baby's mother. She usually ate pretty well, she was healthy, he just got worried that was all. If anything was to happen to her or the baby it would send him over the edge. It wouldn't kill him, he would live through it, but he would be a shell of a man bent only on revenge and once he had that...well then he would have nothing. Protecting his girlfriend and child was his number one priority. (NT) -- Brett, 09:22:00 01/13/07 Sat
• This was typically how things went - he would make her mad, she would voice her displeasure, then give a little, and then if he would give a little back, then that made all the difference in how things progressed from there. She hated fighting with him, and she always felt bad afterwards for getting so upset with him when he was just trying to look out for her. At his question, her own voice softened, and her gaze dropped to her hand spread over her stomach, lips forming something of a pout. "I ate a lot... I think maybe you might have been a little disgusted with me if you had been here. I think I've put on like ten pounds since you saw me this morning... I hope you don't get sick of sharing your bed with giant me." (NT) -- Dominique, 09:29:03 01/13/07 Sat
• His demeanor softened at her words and anyone watching him would have seen his body visibly relaxing as he went into reassuring mode. "You know you could never disgust me and I am not sharing my bed, I am sharing our bed." He smiled softly at the thought of her all round and uncomfortable but still curled up close to him at night. It was adorable and endearing to him. "I picked up some strawberry gelato earlier for you for when you get home." He smiled softly knowing she would be excited about that before he just sighed softly. "If you go anywhere after the bistro, Bella, just call and let me know where you are and who you are with, alright?" He wavered a touch, just wanting her to be happy but wanting her to be safe also. He never wanted her to be unhappy, he didn't want her to be smoothered or her to resent him but he had to make sure she was alright and with trustworthy people. (NT) -- Brett, 09:47:09 01/13/07 Sat
• "I know.. I just like hearing it..." She admitted without a hint of shame - every girl, especially very pregnant ones, wanted to be reassured every once in a while that she was still desirable. At the thought of the strawberry gelato that would be waiting at home, she brightened a little, a wider smile forming on her fine, glossed lips. "You're a saint. I love you." Her gaze was back to drifting over the other inhabitants of the quaint but popular place - but the moment that she made eye contact with the tall and slender and obviously well-built dark-featured man staring blatantly at from from where he sat alone out in the patio, she stopped looking around and inhaled a soft but sharp breath. He was looking right at her and wanted her to know it, and she knew that she should tell her boyfriend on the other end of the call, but instead she cleared her throat and stammered a little into the phone. "I should.. I have to go, Brett." (NT) -- Dominique, 09:54:33 01/13/07 Sat
• He was a trained federal agent, a united states marshal and as soon as the tone of her voice changed he felt it go through his body, the warning that told him that something wasn't right. "Dominique." He stated with a tone of voice that spoke no nonsense. "What is it, baby?" He questioned, his words tender but his tone all business. "Do you have a bad feeling?" He wasn't into pyschics or anything like that but he had no doubt in the power of a woman's intuition. "If you are scared, Dom, just tell me you love me, you understand?" He questioned, his voice firm and calm so as to not panic her anymore than she already obviously was. "Are your friends nearby?" He wanted people around her, to stay in the same area as the public. He would go get her as soon as he understood what was going on. (NT) -- Brett, 10:06:53 01/13/07 Sat
• He was so far away - across the whole restaurant - that if she hadn't known him so well once, she wouldn't have been able to recognize him. It was definitely him though, and he was smiling at her from behind dark glasses, lifting his fingers in a quiet wave. Her hand moved instinctively to her stomach, protectively spreading there as she shook her head slowly - to herself, to Brett, and to Luca himself watching her. "They're at the table... I have to go though, but I'll call you soon. I love you." The words were out of her mouth without her meaning to say them - she said it out of habit, not to warn him. Strangely enough, she was feeling an intense need to deal with this by herself - she didn't want him to be here, because she knew that even though he sat alone, Luca would have people around him... She couldn't stand the thought of something happening to Brett... As backwards as that seemed. (NT) -- Dominique, 10:14:02 01/13/07 Sat
• Take a look at my girlfriend -- Brett, 10:27:25 01/13/07 Sat
  • If the daylight feels like it's a long way off -- Dominique, 10:36:58 01/13/07 Sat
    • take a look at my girlfriend -- Brett, 10:55:11 01/13/07 Sat
• And if your glass heart should crack -- Dom, 11:06:29 01/13/07 Sat
  • As soon as he saw her moving he was out after her, stepping up behind her and quickly shutting up Marc who was trying to tell her to just be calm and stay where she was. His eyes were hard and cold when he gazed down at her, his tone firm. "Unless your water is breaking this very second, Dominique, I suggest you go sit back down with the friends that you so desperately needed to spend time with this afternoon." He nearly growled out the words, frustation lining his tone and features. It was all born out of fear though he would never admit it. He was afraid for her, afraid that next time he wouldn't get there in time. He knew his arrival was what had sent Luca taking off, that the man hadn't planned out the execution of his desires well enough this time but next time...well Luca wouldn't make the same mistake. He was scared to death of losing her, he felt like he couldn't breathe and he just had to stay in this hard agent mode in order to keep from freaking out completely. (NT) -- Brett, 11:13:54 01/13/07 Sat
• With her very pregnant hormones raging and wreaking havoc on her emotions - she had actually found herself tearing up the other day when, just after she had vacuumed, she had spilled some crumbs on the floor - hearing those words from him in that tone was almost more than she could handle. Her soft eyes widened a little and she actually shifted away from him and sidled up closer to the other agent without thinking about it and without looking away from Brett. Her lower jaw quivered and she inhaled short, uneven breaths through her nose as tears now poured down her cheeks - she was trying very hard to check her panic and if not for the baby growing inside of her she likely would have been able to blink away the tears and return to the table with her friends. Instead though, her face was flushed and she was just one open mouth away from outright sobs. (NT) -- Dom, 11:21:32 01/13/07 Sat
• Marc frowned and looked down at the near sobbing girl in his arms, so elegant and delicate and he couldn't help but look up and glare at his friend. "Lay off, Brett." He growled out before he rested a hand on the woman's lower back and guided her over to a bench. Kneeling down, he smiled a little and looked up at her. "He's just being a scaredy cat and hiding it by trying to be a bad ass, sweetie. Believe me, I know." He remembered when his wife had been the target of a hitman's bullet and he was well accustomed to the panic and the clenching pain and worry in the gut that Brett was now experiencing. "He'll be begging your forgiveness later, you want my opinion, you should make him beg for it." He grinned lightly, winking teasingly as he reached up to brush away her tears. It was a good thing he was a happily married man and Brett knew it - otherwise he would probably be losing a couple of those fingers for even daring to touch her. (NT) -- Marc, 11:26:16 01/13/07 Sat
• Her gaze dropped away from Brett as soon as the other agent spoke, and she allowed herself to be guided away. Once she was safely seated where it was a little bit quieter, she squeezed her eyes shut and opened her mouth to allow a few deep breaths into her lungs - she hadn't been getting much oxygen from the short gasps of before. When Marc spoke again, her quivering jaw had settled a little so she could respond, but it was still quite pitiful. "I just want to go home..." Her big brown eyes still shining, she was practically pleading with him to help make that happen - clearly Brett wasn't concerned at that moment about what she wanted and she could only hope that this man would be even just a little bit. Her arms wrapped around her stomach as she hunched over a little, her teeth catching the side of her lower lip as it started to waver again. "Please?" (NT) -- Dom, 11:37:03 01/13/07 Sat
• "I know you want to go home sweetie, we just need to get all of this out of the way so we can get any leads we have on Luca and what is going on." He stated softly, his eyes up on her. "He left him a note, Dominique, he's baiting Brett and it's tearing him up inside. Just be patient with him, alright?" He questioned softly before he stood up. "I am going to go help him out with the questioning so he can get you home sooner. Do you want your friends to sit with you?" He frowned softly, waiting for her answer but then interupted by the appearance of Brett at his side. // He sighed softly, looking at his girlfriend. She looked so delicate and sweet and yet so broken and it tore at his heart. He smiled in thanks at Marc briefly before he shifted to sit next to Dom, his hand coming up to gently stroke down her hair. He couldn't even find words at the moment, he was at a loss. He could have lost her that day, she could have been taken from him and then what would he have? Absolutely nothing. (NT) -- Brett, 11:45:06 01/13/07 Sat
• She watched Marc quietly as he spoke, and then nodded a touch to show she heard what he was saying - though it didn't mean that she wanted to go home any less. She was just about to respond very adamantly that she didn't want her friends over here - she didn't know how to explain anything - but was silenced by Brett's arrival. Her eyes wide as she looked up to him and then watched as he sat down - she briefly made a mental note to thank this Marc guy for being so nice to her another day when she was feeling more like herself. A soft whimper escaped her lips as his hand brushed her hair, and she turned into him immediately, her face ducking into his neck and her fresh tears dampening his skin and the collar of his shirt. Any thoughts of making him beg for forgiveness were long abandoned in that moment. (NT) -- Dom, 11:52:17 01/13/07 Sat
• He sighed softly, shifting to bring her closer into his arms comfortably. His face ducked to rest his cheek against the top of her head, his eyes closed as he just held her maybe a little bit to tightly. His breathing was slow and even despite the inner turmoil he had been feeling all day and even at the moment his heart was pounding a little bit rougher then natural. "Do you understand, Bella, why it hurts me to have you out of my sight?" He rasped gently against her hair, his eyes opening for a moment to survey his surroundings before he focused back on her once more. He had to keep alert, had to pay attention and he hated that when all he wanted was to hold her, kiss her and make her feel safe again....all he wanted was to make her feel safe and loved....and he couldn't even accomplish that. (NT) -- Brett, 12:11:32 01/13/07 Sat
• "I'm sorry..." She murmured against the skin of the side of his neck - thankful for the familiar scent of him that filled her nostrils every time she inhaled. Even if this wasn't directly her fault, it was her fault to some extent and she felt responsible for causing so much trouble and for causing him so much distress. Finally, she raised her face and met his gaze, her head ducking a little bit shyly as she brushed at her damp eyes - but she was more in control now that she had let some of that out. "Take me home, Brett... Please... I don't want to be here." She knew that there was work to be done here, but she desperately just wanted him to take her home and keep her safe there, and she wanted to crawl into their big soft bed with him and close out the rest of the world. (NT) -- Dominique, 12:19:26 01/13/07 Sat
• He sighed deeply, wishing with all his heart that he could just sweep her up into his arms and take her to their safe apartment where he could hold and comfort her and reassure himself that she was safe and still in his arms. Unfortunantly, the badge he wore confirmed the fact that he had a job too and he was stuck to it. Pulling back, he dropped a kiss to her lips gently. "I have to stay and lead the questioning. Do you want me to have someone take you home?" She could stay and wait for him or wait for him at home, either way, he had to remain at the scene and then after that he would need to go over any intel to see if they could find the safehouse that Luca was using in the area.... (NT) -- Brett, 04:51:08 01/14/07 Sun
• She felt one hundred times better knowing that he wasn't upset with her, though hated the fact that he couldn't be the one to take her away from there. She knew he had responsibilities though and couldn't just drop everything, but wasn't sure that she wanted to be home alone... But it sounded better than staying here. After returning his brief kiss, she sat up a little, her lips pursing gently in thought. "Yeah... I want to go home." She admitted finally, both hands still spread protectively over her stomach, and she was quiet for another long moment before leaning in a little closer to him again. "Let's get married, Brett.. Like tomorrow. Just at city hall or something... We can do the big wedding thing after the baby is born." They hadn't quite gotten around to it yet, but she was due much sooner rather than later - and she just suddenly very much so wanted this baby to be born a Holden. (NT) -- Dominique, 04:59:51 01/14/07 Sun
• He nodded a little, already pulling out his phone when she continued speaking. His eyes dropped down to hers, wondering if it was just the slight panic speaking. "We'll talk about it when I get home, baby." He stated, dropping a kiss to her head before flipping open his phone and placing a call to a trustworthy taxi company to get her to come and get him. "Alright, they are going to take you home, call me when you get there alright and then I'll call you later..." His hand shifted again to run through her hair softly. "Everything is going to be ok, Dom." He murmured softly, his voice strong and reassuring. (NT) -- Brett, 05:05:40 01/14/07 Sun
• She frowned gently at him just to show that she was serious - sure, the decision had something to do with the incident that afternoon, but really it had just shown her how uncertain all of this was. She didn't want there to be any questions ever about who's baby it was. "Okay." She let it go for now though because it was definitely a conversation to be had later. Reaching up, she pressed a brief but sweet kiss to his lips, one hand lingering over his chest as she just watched him a long moment - everything was so complicated these days, and all she wanted was to be a happy little family with him... But as long as he was just present in her life, she would be okay. "I know. I love you." (NT) -- Dominique, 09:16:07 01/14/07 Sun
• His hand cupped her face for a moment as he gazed down at her, his head cocked to the side as he took in her features. "I love you too, more than anything." He pressed his lips to her forehead for a moment longer before he shifted to look out the window and then he rested his hand on the small of her back. Silently, he headed out the door with her, opening the door of the taxi and then going around to talk to the driver. When he was done speaking and giving the tip and fare he looked back to his girlfriend. "Call me when your inside sweetheart." He instructed before he winked at her playfully, trying to lighten the mood. Stepping back, he thumped the top of the car, indicating to the driver to go... (NT) -- Brett, 10:07:08 01/14/07 Sun
• After making sure that he would settle things with her friends who would undoubtably be wondering at some point where she had disappeared off to, she willingly kissed him one final time and then ducked into the taxi. She promised to call him as he asked, and then settled back for the drive home, waving out the window to him until they were away, and then slouching down into the seat and resting her head back. Thoughts of a hot bath and a warm fireplace and a big mug of hot cocoa kept her entertained for the ride, but it wasn't until she was inside the saftey of the security-monitored building, and then upstairs in the apartment that she was beginning to feel significantly better. Punching in his number and then tucking her phone between her ear and shoulder, she waited while it rang for him to answer, perched on the edge of the luxurious jacuzzi tub as the water ran - setting up that bath for herself that she had been thinking about.. (NT) -- Dominique, 10:13:37 01/14/07 Sun
• He was in the middle of talking to her friends actually. Friends who were completely enamored with Dominique's deboniar and mysterious boyfriend. He was charming them into finding out exactly if Dom had said anything about him -- definately not what he was supposed to be questioning them about but enlightening none the less -- when his phone rang. "Pardon, ladies. I must check in with mi Bella but please, stay seated, I'll have the waiter bring you more lemonade." He smiled warmly before he stood and walked over to the hallway to answer the phone. "Holden." He murmured softly as he always did, though his voice was gentle, knowing it was her. (NT) -- Brett, 10:27:53 01/14/07 Sun
• "'S me... Don't you think you could sound a little bit more personal or something? I know you have caller ID, so you know it's me..." Her tone was gentle though, to match his own - warmth spreading through her at the soft edge to his voice. Her free fingers dropped into the tub, reaching down to dip into the hot water. "I'm home, safe and sound." She knew he had work to do, but she wished he had come home with her - not just because she needed the security he provided, because she was feeling much safer now, but because she just loved the company he provided. Her thoughts lingered on that for a long moment and a small smile softened her features. "Just running a bath.." (NT) -- Dominique, 10:37:01 01/14/07 Sun
• He smiled a little at her gentle teasing even though he figured she was about half serious. Leaning against the wall, he held the phone up to his ear as he scanned the bistro with his eyes. "I didn't look at the I.D." He fibbed gently before he spoke. "That sounds nice, did you turn the jets on?" He questioned, his head cocked. "I am sending a guy over to the apartment just to check things out and pick up Sirus. Go on and lock yourself in the bathroom, take a long soak, listen to some music and he will be there and gone without you even noticing." He was thinking about getting another dog, one to stay home with her - a well trained guard dog. He needed Sirus with him when he was working a lot of the time and he didn't like her being in the apartment all alone. (NT) -- Brett, 07:57:00 01/15/07 Mon
• "Liar." She called him out on it, but just gently and then let it go before nodding a touch to herself. "Yeah, I'll turn them on... Put on some music. It'll be nice." She assured him - as much to reassure him that she was okay there by herself while he was busy with his thing - and then smiled a little at the thought of her baby Sirus going off to work. "He's on the bed sleeping... They'll maybe need a cookie to wake him up." Even as she spoke, she ducked out of the bathroom for a moment to check on the big growing dog - flat out in the middle of the bed. She leaned down to kiss the pup's head, and ducked her face into the fur of his neck before disappearing back into the bathroom and locking the door behind herself. Sending the dog off to work felt to her like sending Brett off sometimes - the danger of getting hurt was high but still necessary... "Are you going to be late, you think baby?" (NT) -- Dom, 08:05:54 01/15/07 Mon
• "I don't think, I shouldn't be." He stated absently in response to her question as he looked around at the people who being allowed to be released after being questioning. A smile played on his lips as he listened to her interacting with the dog. She loved Sirus just as much as she loved him, he was pretty sure of it. "Ah, sweetheart, I gotta go but you just relax and I will be home before long." He murmured quietly, wanting to get this done with so that he could get home to his girl and his baby. It wasn't that the apartment wasn't secure, it was perfectly so but it wasn't just the need to protect her that had him aching to be home. He just wanted to be with her, to hold her and talk to her, to immerse himself in her company. (NT) -- Brett, 08:37:59 01/15/07 Mon
• "'K, alright. I'll probably be in bed - maybe put on a movie or something. Hurry home - it's lonely here without my boys." She reminded him, though she doubted he needed to hear it to know it. She believed that he wanted to be there with her as much - if not more than even - she wanted him there. Tucking the phone between her ear and shoulder, she unbuttoned and slipped out of her jeans - low slung to rest below the swell of her stomach - as she spoke to him. "Alright, back to work you. I love you. Be safe, Brett. And take care of my puppy..." Her voice softened as her eyes lightly closed for a moment, a silent plea lingering in her mind for nothing bad to happen to anyone she cared about that day. (NT) -- Dominique, 08:45:58 01/15/07 Mon
• Take a look at my girlfriend -- Brett, 09:25:49 01/15/07 Mon
• Her long, warm bath had her completely relaxed so that by the time the water cooled she only had the energy to drag herself out of the tub, towel off, and then crawl beneath the plentiful blankets on their king-sized bed, worn out from the stress and panic of the eventful day. She braided her long, dark hair low and loosely over one shoulder before burrowing down into the pillows and dozing off for a while. She was just waking up when he let himself in, and she actually tensed for a moment as she strained her ears to listen to the movements in the rest of the apartment. It was easy for her to determine it was him though - so familiar with his sounds she was - and so she relaxed immediately, a warm and fuzzy smile softening her features as she nestled back down into a fluffy pillow to wait for him to discover her. She knew as soon as he was ready, he would come looking for her... (NT) -- Dom, 09:32:10 01/15/07 Mon
• He came into the bedroom and smiled gently at her, he could see her bare shoulder peeking out from under the big blanket on their huge bed. "Hey amoria..." He murmured gently, his voice soft. "I am just cooking up some food...do you want anything?" He shifted to sit on the edge of the bed, watching her for a moment before his fingertips trailed down to run across her shoulder, enjoying the soft feel of skin there. Her skin was always so damned soft, it amazed him how she did it because he never saw her throwing on lotion or anything...maybe she just did it when he wasn't there. Ah, yeah he got pretty distracted pretty easily when it came to his girl. (NT) -- Brett, 09:55:50 01/15/07 Mon
• "Hello love..." She murmured gently and smiled up at him, scooting a little closer to where he was sitting. Her brows furrowed in soft consternation at his questions, her lips pursing for a moment. "I was going to make you dinner... I lost track of time though. I'll get up now to fix things." She offered dutifully - not because she thought he expected it of her at all, but because she liked taking care of him whenever she could. Her smile returned at his warm, large fingers on her cool, soft shoulder, and she raised a hand out from beneath the blankets to curl lightly around his wrist, squeezing affectionately and gaze quietly adoring. (NT) -- Dom, 10:01:01 01/15/07 Mon
• "It's alright, I already have steaks thawing, won't take me long to make them at all." He smiled lightly, he was good with steaks, it was all he had eaten before she came along. He didn't think Sirus really even knew what dog food was. The pup lived on red meats. Brett was convinced that was the reason he was so big and muscular and would swear up and down on it. A smile played on his lips as he reached down to press a kiss to her lips. "Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something while I am in the kitchen?" He pressed a warm kiss to her lips once again, briefly, just brushing against her mouth. (NT) -- Brett, 10:17:54 01/15/07 Mon
• "Are you sure? I don't mind getting up..." She assured him quickly, but wasn't hard to convince that he could handle things on his own - he was a capable boy most of the time. She returned his brief kiss and then shook her head a little in response to his questions. "Nah, I really did eat a lot at lunch... I'll probably get something before I call it a night though. Thanks anyway." She smiled slightly and a hand raised to the back of his neck to hold him down at her level to extend his second kiss - still sweet, but longer, warmer before she loosened her hold on him. "Feed yourself and my dog, and then come keep me company. Deal?" (NT) -- Dominique, 10:22:11 01/15/07 Mon
• His hand shifted beneath the covers to run over her bare stomach, a smile on his face as he felt the baby kick beneath his large hand. She always responded to him, like she just knew he was the one who was her Dad. Pulling back from the kiss, he nodded a little, pressing his lips to her forehead. "Just stay here and relax, I'll get whatever you need later." He smiled sweetly before he stood up and headed out into the kitchen with the not so patiently waiting Sirus. He seasoned the steaks the way him and Sirus liked them before tossing them into the stove for a few minutes - they liked them rare. "So, I was thinking we need another dog." He called out, the apartment was small and she could hear him all the way in the bedroom. (NT) -- Brett, 10:28:02 01/15/07 Mon
• Her features just softened at the response that their lively daughter always had to the feel of her daddy's touch and a smile lingered over her features a little as she watched him head back for the kitchen. "Alright. Tell Sirus his mommy wants to see him after he eats." She knew that there was no point in trying to convince the dog to visit her before he had his dinner - he wasn't unlike Brett in that way, for sure. Nestling back into the pillows and pulling the blanket back up to her chin, she smiled brightly at his called out suggestion. "Definitely. We need a little girl to match the boy." They'd talked before about getting a 'girlfriend' for Sirus, and though she already figured he wanted something big and tough to keep her company when both boys were gone, she figured a female shepherd would do just fine. (NT) -- Dom, 10:33:16 01/15/07 Mon
• She'd talked about getting a girlfriend for Sirus which had promptly made Brett sit down and explain to his boy that girls were more trouble than they were worth and if a girl dog came to live with them it would be Sirus's job to keep her in her place. "I think I am going to go look around tomorrow while you're at lamaze." For right now, she was going by herself and he would be attending classes starting...he had to look at the calander...next week with her. He wasn't sure he wanted a puppy, maybe a dog who was already five or six months old and easily trainable...it was something they would need to discuss. "Definitely a girl, huh?" (NT) -- Brett, 10:48:14 01/15/07 Mon
• Now fully awake, she thought for a moment before deciding for sure that she did in fact actually want to get her butt out of bed for now - for a little while at least. So, she slipped out from beneath the covers, thankful that the heat was up in the apartment as she selected an emerald green silky robe from behind the door - the larger sized one that would actually wrap around her swollen stomach these days. Tightening the cinch above her stomach, she padded out to join him in the kitchen, despite his earlier suggestions that she just laze in the bed. "I think a girl for sure. Sirus would think so too if you were to ask him, I think." Besides, she didn't want the other dog to feel any competition. (NT) -- Dominique, 10:53:24 01/15/07 Mon
• "Boys always want girls instead of other boys, of course." He stated, turning to look over his shoulder and smile lightly at her sweetly. "Though he thinks of food more than anything." He shifted to pull out the chair for her in case she wanted to sit down before he got the pot holders and pulled out the steaks, throwing them on two plates with some A-1 sauce on his and just plain for Sirus. He cut up the dogs into strips before putting the plate on the floor, smirking as Sirus laid down with his paws crossed over each other to neatly eat the food piece by piece. "Do you think a puppy, like a little one? Or maybe like a six or seven month old that's already house and basic trained?" (NT) -- Nrett, 11:05:03 01/15/07 Mon
• "Most boys prefer girls to other boys. Let's be just a little PC here..." She teased him gently and then settled onto the edge of the chair he pulled out for her, delicately crossing one leg over the other. She adoringly watched Sirus start in his food for a moment and then looked to Brett - her smile lingering. Dropping her chin into one hand, her free fingers rested over her stomach as she just very contently watched him eat. He was quite simply easy on the eyes, and she just appreciated him so much - so just sitting there with him while he ate his dinner was more than enough to make her happy. She loved the domesticity of it all. "Puppies are the most fun... But a slightly older one would maybe be the most practical. Don't you think?" (NT) -- Dom, 11:12:07 01/15/07 Mon
• "Yeah, less work, especially with the baby coming and all..." He was putting off talking about what had happened with Luca, he just didn't want to make her cry anymore tonight. They could talk about that in the morning. He quickly devoured his meal and then got up to clean off his plate and place it in the dishwater, doing the same to a very now content sirus's plate. A smile fluttered over his lips as he looked down at his dog, ruffling his ears lightly. "Good boy, you wanna sleep with me and mommy tonight? You did a good job today..." He praised the dog for a moment before he straighened and headed over to wash his hands. "I am going to take a quick shower..." (NT) -- Brett, 09:07:04 01/18/07 Thu
• "Yeah, that's what I was thinking..." She slowly nodded her agreement - they were going to have their hands full in the months to come. He always had a lot going on at work - besides the Luca thing, he had other cases and whatnot that he was working on - and she was going to be a first-time mother and that was a little overwhelming for her. She definitely wanted another dog - something to keep her company when the boys were working - but something that would be slightly less maintenance than a young puppy was probably the best way to go. "Sure..." She nodded a little, smiling briefly as she watched him with Sirus a moment and then turned her gaze to Brett's once more, pausing a moment before speaking to catch him before he disappeared for his shower, genuinely wondering. "Did I freak you out with the whole let's-get-married thing?" (NT) -- Dominique, 09:28:25 01/18/07 Thu
• He stopped, though his shirt was already off and his jeans unbuttoned to reveal a light trail of hair starting at his navel and continuing down to a 'happy place'. Turning, he tipped his head and looked down at where she was sitting. "No, not at all. I want to marry you Dom, rather it's sooner than later doesn't freak me out at all." He pursed his lips thoughtfully. "I want to have an actual wedding with all the guests and the whole nine yards but if you want to do a quick justice of the peace thing before that, just to get it official, thats perfectly ok with me." (NT) -- Brett, 09:52:28 01/18/07 Thu
• Her fingers toying with the hem of her robe that fell around her knees, her eyes studied him closely for any hint of any other feeling that what he was saying to her. Her fine lips gently pursed, let his words process in a long moment of silence before her head cocked delicately. "Really? I don't want to be Dominique Shaw anymore..." She wanted to be his wife - safe, and legitimate, and permanent. Of course there was no doubt that she would still want to marry him so much if none of this drama existed, but the fact that it did just meant that she wanted it to be official like, yesterday. She wanted the big ceremony and everything too, but that would take months more and she didn't want to wait. (NT) -- Dom, 10:01:46 01/18/07 Thu
• "I think Holden will do well by you." He smiled lightly, leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead, closing his eyes for a moment before he yawned and stood up. "Tomorrow then? I can call in a favor and get a justice of the peace in the afternoon." He stated, straightening, his hand going to scratch absently at his abs, his eyes growing drowsy. All the drama and excitement and worry and stress was wearing him out. He needed a good night of rest without worrying about her or the baby or Luca or the wedding or any of his other ten or so cases that were waiting for him to really buckle down on. He wanted to just hold her and look forward to being with her officially the next day. (NT) -- Brett, 10:16:57 01/18/07 Thu
• "I know it will." She agreed with no hesitation, and smiled a little as she watched him with complete adoration in her own gaze. "Tomorrow if you have time... Just whenever you get a chance..." She knew he was so busy and she didn't want this to be a big hassle - she just wanted it done. She caught his fingers in hers to help her to her feet - she felt like she was getting more and more awkward every day - and then tucked the fingers of both of her hands into the waist of his jeans, lovingly brushed at the soft fuzz on his abdomen. "You look tired... Go shower and then come to bed." She murmured gently and reached up to pressed a warm but brief kiss to the side of his mouth. "Love you." (NT) -- Dom, 10:22:33 01/18/07 Thu
• "I am never going to be to busy for you, Dom, you know that." He stated honestly, leaning down to catch her lips warmly before he drew back. "Why don't you join me in the shower, sweetie? I know you just took a bath..." He smiled sheepishly shrugging. "Nevermind, go lay back down and I'll join you in just a few minutes ok? I'll bring you icecream." He smiled again before he picked up his shirt and headed towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. He actually didn't feel like lingering beneath the hot spray, he wanted to curl up in bed with his soon to be wife. (NT) -- Brett, 10:50:05 01/18/07 Thu
• She smiled quietly at that and then returned his kiss adoringly before playfully snapping the waistband of his boxers and giving him a gentle nudge in the direction of the bathroom. She did definitely love keeping him company in the shower any time, but he just looked so much like he was ready for bed that she agreed with his change of mind - she had just gotten out of the bath earlier. She tidied up what was left of the mess in the kitchen - not much really because he'd put most everything away already - and then flipped off all the lights and returned to their bedroom. She draped the robe over the back of a chair and then tucked her very naked, pregnant body back between the still-warm sheets to wait for him... (NT) -- Dm, 10:55:26 01/18/07 Thu

• The meeting had been to review the majority of the things he had taken from Luca's office and it had taken more then enough time - which left him somewhat aggravated but what could he do? He was just a lackey of the agency. A smile crossed his lips as he saw her message and he excused himself to step back and head to his office, shutting the door behind him and calling her back. His fingers played absently against the desk in a rythmic beat as he waited for her to pick up, shifting a bit to shrug off his jacket and loosen his tie... (NT) -- Brett, 07:32:20 12/15/04 Wed
• She jumped and her breath caught in surprise when the phone rang, and she answered a little tentatively - she couldn't tell him over the phone, so she didn't know exactly what to say, and really it wasn't for certain that there was even anything to tell - those tests were sometimes wrong... Weren't they? Clearing her throat, she slouched back into the couch. "Hello?" For a moment she found herself almost hoping that it wouldn't be him on the phone, but that was gone soon. She did want to hear from him... (NT) -- Dom, 07:35:32 12/15/04 Wed
• "Hey sweetheart." He exclaimed quietly, keeping his voice down though a smile played on his face lovingly. He adored even hearing from her, just hearing his voice was a lift to his day. "Whats up?" He didn't think anything could be wrong and honestly he just adored hearing from her. His fingers twirled idely around the little paper weight on his desk - just patiently waiting for her to reply to his questions. (NT) -- Brett, 07:40:43 12/15/04 Wed
• "Hey... Baby... Um, when are you coming home?" Her brows were gently furrowed and her words almost stuttered at times, one hand spreading flat over her toned stomach, beneath her thin black tee. Eyes sliding lightly shut, she smothered a sigh - there was no way this could be happening. It wasn't that she didn't want kids... (NT) -- Dom, 07:44:45 12/15/04 Wed
  • But she wanted his kids, and not now - when they had that amazing house that he was always talking about, and after they were married, and settled.... (NT) -- Dom, 07:45:09 12/15/04 Wed
• "Um, well I have a few more things to do but I should be able to get out of here by four, home by five at the latest." He shrugged a bit, shifting to put another call on hold, noting the blinking red light. His focus was completely on her though - nothing else could distract him while she was on the phone. Fingers lifted up to run through his hair, a low breath escaping. "Why? Something wrong sweetheart? I left money on the counter if you wanted to go grocery shopping, did you see that?" (NT) -- Brett, 07:50:24 12/15/04 Wed
• "Yeah, yeah I saw... I just... Need to talk to you. Just come home as soon as you're done?" She requested with a soft sigh and pushed one hand slowly through her hair before shifting to curl up on the couch and tug a blanket over herself. She didn't want to worry him, but she really did need to talk to him as soon as he could get back to her. Atleast if he took a little while, it gave her time to figure out what she was going to say to him. (NT) -- Do, 07:58:44 12/15/04 Wed
• He frowned at that, his gaze dark and concerned at that. "Sweetheart, what is wrong?" He questioned, very concerned suddenly about what was going. She hadn't called yet and requested him home. "I'll hurry..but at least tell me whats going on?" he questioned, his brow furrowed, already flipping through his computer to see what he could put off till tomorrow - suddenly feeling the intense desire to go home and be with her. (NT) -- Brett, 08:16:18 12/15/04 Wed
• "I don't really want to talk about it over the phone, love..." She explained with a soft sigh and a small frown - she really didn't want him to worry, but it would just be worse if she told him over the telephone. "Just whenever you can get home..." She assured him quietly and tugged the blanket closer to herself - she loved and trusted him more than anything, yet she still couldn't help but worry about what his reaction was going to be... (NT) -- Dom, 08:19:41 12/15/04 Wed
• He nodded a bit, letting out a soft breath. "Alright...well, I will try and get out of here as soon as I can, ok? Just take it easy..." He let out a soft breath, more then concerned now but trying to reign in his over active imagionation. "I will be home soon sweetheart, I love you." He stated softly, hanging up the phone before he went about hurrying to get his work done - looking up at the clock every few minutes, it was driving him nuts with worry... (NT) -- Brett, 08:30:23 12/15/04 Wed
• "Don't worry, Brett..." She attempted to reassure him quietly before she murmured her 'I love you's in return and hung up as well to wait for him to get in. She knew he was probably worrying himself crazy, but really she didn't know what else to do, and she had herself in a bit of a mess herself - terrified about what he was going to say and think. With a soft sigh, she nestled down deeper into the couch and pulled the blanket up to her chin, she curled up in the silence of the apartment. (NT) -- Dom, 08:37:17 12/15/04 Wed
• He was home by three o'clock, kicking off his shoes and taking off his jacket and hung it up. "Dom?" He called out, his brow furrowed as he stepped in - his eyes took in her position and he finally knelt down next to the couch. "Whats wrong, love? Are you sick?" He questioned, his eyes on her adoringly - though so obviously concerned adn worried - searching her features before he laid a hand on her forehead to check her temperature. He hated being so worried but he couldn't help it. She drove him crazy with need, love and concern, it was what being in love was all about. (NT) -- Brett, 08:49:30 12/15/04 Wed
• "Brett..." She exhaled softly and shifted slowly to sit up, brows furrowing gently as she crawled into his lap. "Promise me you won't get upset..." She twisted her fingers gently into his shirt - clinging tightly to him, scared to let him go. Her eyes on him were wide and there was a curios shine to them - this was too much for her to think about right now. She was so young - far too young - and with everything that had just happened... (NT) -- Dom, 08:57:10 12/15/04 Wed
• He shifted to be sitting on the floor instead of kneeling, his head ducked against hers as he pulled her to his chest. "Ok..." He murmured softly, letting out a gentle breath. "Everything is ok...right?" He questioned, his brow furrowed, he was so confused and worried that he didn't know what to say - he couldn't really say anything until he knew what was going on but she seemed almost frightened to tell him. "You can tell me anything, you know?" (NT) -- Brett, 09:04:39 12/15/04 Wed
• Her brows furrowed gently as she held herself close to him, forehead pressed tightly against his. First she shook her head slightly - everything wasn't really okay, she believed - but then nodded ever-so-slightly - she knew that she could tell him anything. Exhaling deeply, she was silent for a long moment, and then finally just allowed the words to spill from her fine lips. "I'm really late... And I thought maybe it was just stress or something, you know? But I took one of those tests anyway-" More like three or four, that was. "And I have to go to the doctor... But, I might, I might be pregnant." She stuttered out and blinked hard a couple times - the worst thought was that, in all likelihood, it would be Luca's. She was on the pill, but Brett was usually always so careful about using protection in addition, whereas Luca was much more careless... (NT) -- Dom, 09:12:07 12/15/04 Wed
• He let out a soft breath, his eyes sliding shut as he just cradled her to his broad chest. It was a harsh truth that it was most likely Luca's but it was still her's also. "Love..." He mumbled against her, his brow furrowed as he brushed back her hair. "It's alright...everything is going to be ok..." He stated quietly, soothingly, he couldn't just let her be so upset about this without saying something - even if he was at a complete lack of words. Now was definately not the time to be dealing with a child, especially not a child of Luca's.... (NT) -- Brett, 09:17:46 12/15/04 Wed
• "I'm so sorry..." She nearly sobbed as she clung to him, her face ducking into his neck - she knew that he couldn't possibly want this, and a constant memory of Luca was the last thing she needed. This was her life now, and she hated that thought - there was so much that she wanted to do and see and accomplish, but no, if she was pregnant, this would be her life even after the child was grown and moved out. She hated the harsh reality of it all. (NT) -- Dom, 09:22:48 12/15/04 Wed
• He shook his head, letting out a soft breath. "Shh, no, don't apolagize, this isn't your fault.." He rocked her gently, his voice soothing. "There's lot of options, sweetheart, you don't have to keep it if you don't want to, but if you do you know I will be behind you one hundred percent..." He really would, he would support whatever decision she ended up making. She was his life and anything that happened to her happened to him - he would always be there for her, no matter what. (NT) -- Brett, 09:29:21 12/15/04 Wed
• She didn't think she could ever get an abortion... But at that desperate moment, adoption actually crossed her mind. Tears welling in her eyes just at the fact that she could consider such a thing, she inhaled deeply in an attempt to calm herself. This was just all so disappointing - things could have been so perfect... "I love you so much, Brett." She promised him firmly and nuzzled his neck lovingly before raising her face to rest her forehead gently against his. (NT) -- Dom, 09:36:34 12/15/04 Wed
• "We are still going to be perfect." He murmured as if he was reading her mind, his voice soothing. "I like kids." He stated absently, though firmly, easing a small smile onto his lips. "Maybe it is just the kick I needed to start looking into a desk job and that house we've been talking about." She didn't know that he had been so serious about the moving, in fact he had been looking up real estate that day but he hadn't checked prices or anything like that. Anyways, things could still work out for them, it would just take a bit of effort. (NT) -- Brett, 09:42:07 12/15/04 Wed
• "Even Luca's kid?" She questioned so softly, arms slipping tightly around his neck - she frowned gently then though. The kid would be hers too, and she had to remember that - this wasn't any tiny baby's fault. Exhaling deeply, she pressed a firm, oh-so-loving kiss to his lips. "Would you be happy though, Brett? Because that's the most important thing to me..." She stated honestly, brows furrowed still. (NT) -- Dom, 09:52:58 12/15/04 Wed
• He nodded quietly, letting out a soft breath as he returned her kiss, his fingers curling around her jaw delicately. "Even Luca's baby...because its your baby..and it could be a little girl with your pink lips and button nose..." He stated softly against her lips, his arms wrapped around her tightly as he rested his chin on her shoulder. "I would be happy...as long as you were." He stated, his hand easing down her side lovingly, slowly. "I adore you and I know that I would adore your baby too..." (NT) -- Brett, 09:58:43 12/15/04 Wed
• "I want your babies..." She pouted quietly, but tightened her hold on him and shook her head slowly - maybe one day they could have all that as well. Sighing softly, her eyes slid lightly shut as she pressed her lips to his once again for a warm, sweet kiss. He was easily the most incredible man she had ever met, and she was so thankful that he loved her so much - she would be lost through all this without him, without a doubt. (NT) -- Dom, 10:05:36 12/15/04 Wed
• "Everything is going to work out." He repeated himself,his eyes tender down on her as his voice lowered a hitch. "one of these days, my love, you'll have my baby..." He smiled gently, tilting his head as he ran his lips down her neck softly. "And they'll just have an older brother or sister and we'll be great parents..." He was just murmuring to soothe her, to set her mind at ease. It couldn't be easy for her, and she was the one who would be dealing with so many changes in her body and whatnot... (NT) -- Brett, 10:11:20 12/15/04 Wed
• "I love you." She repeated again as her eyes slid lightly shut and one hand twisted into his shirt tenderly, voice soft and loving. "You don't have to come to the doctor with me.. I would understand... But if you want to..." Of course she wanted him there with her, but only if he wanted to be there - she didn't want him feeling uncomfortable or anything. Ducking her head to press a warm kiss to the side of his mouth, a hand trailed slowly down his chest. (NT) -- Ethan, 10:15:28 12/15/04 Wed
• "Of course I will be there." He stated lovingly, his hand tugging her closer as he nuzzled the side of her neck lovingly. "You couldn't keep me away." He let out a low breath, his hand sliding down her arm before he teased quiety. "Your going to get all chubby and get a belly." he grinned gently, in all honesty, he thought she would be adorable and was almost..excited about it. It was only because he loved her so much that he was so accepting of this child and even intriguied about it. (NT) -- Brett, 10:34:37 12/15/04 Wed
• "You are the most amazing man in the whole entire world." She stated lovingly and then smiled a little bashfully as she nuzzled her cheek lovingly against his. "Yeah, and I've heard women get all chesty and some get to keep some of the size." She pointed out with a soft sigh of relief - really she had so much faith in him and the type of person that he was, but this had definitely gone much better than she had expected it to. (NT) -- Dom, 10:39:18 12/15/04 Wed
• He laughed softly, pressing his gentle lips against her forehead. "I think your perfect the way you are." he was quick to insert, though he winked and ran his hand up her chest playfully. "Though more is never really...bad...just not..needed." He winked teasingly, brushing his hand through her hair before he shifted to stand, urging her to her feet. "Lets go lay down, sweetheart, you have got to be emotionally exhausted." He stated quietly, kissing her lips softly before he guided her to the bedroom. (NT) -- Brett, 10:46:14 12/15/04 Wed
• She was feeling quite drained and was keen on the idea of cuddling up with him in bed. Allowing herself to be guided into his room, she tugged off her sweater and jeans before crawling beneath the plush blankets with a sigh of contentment. "Cuddle for a bit... I'll make you dinner later, alright? I picked up lots of groceries today..." She would have his place whipped into a normal residence before long. (NT) -- Dom, 10:50:44 12/15/04 Wed

• He smiled softly, pressing a warm kiss to her lips - it was kind of nice to just have the knowledge that she was there in his place and she was going to staying there with him. "Welcome home..." He stated softly, nipping gently on her neck for a brief second before drawing back. "You are going to have to get some groceries...and uh, well the spare bedroom, its kinda my office, so you might have to share a bed with me...." He grinned lightly, hoping to set her ease with his playful chatter and easy going manner. With a smile he let go of her and headed towards his room to set down the suitcase and look around - he had to clean up a bit - make room for her stuff. (NT) -- Brett, 09:02:56 12/14/04 Tue
• She smiled brightly at that and her fingers brushed his chest lightly before he moved back. As he headed into the bedroom, she trailed after him with a soft laugh, head tilting a little. "If you were a gentleman you would offer me your bed and say you'll sleep on the couch." She teased playfully - if he was going to sleep on the couch, then it would be a little crowded, because she would be sleeping there with him. Pausing to turn up the heat in the apartment a bit before shrugging off her sweater and then settling to lean against the doorframe to his room as she watched him adoringly. "Let's order in tonight... I'll get groceries tomorrow." (NT) -- Dom, 09:13:42 12/14/04 Tue
• He nodded a bit, his brow furrowed as he ran his hand through his hair sheepishly, glancing around the apartment before his eyes focused back on her. "So I didn't realize that the place was quite this messy." He stated, his voice sheepish as he headed back in her direction. His lips brushed against hers briefly before he rested her forehead against hers. "Why don't you go order us some food and I will straighten up here and get some of your stuff unpacked? You can help me when you get off the phone...oh and take some more alieve too." (NT) -- brett, 09:20:53 12/14/04 Tue
• Her fingers twisted into his shirt at his stomach and she pulled him slowly to her, lips pressing firmly against his for a long moment - it was overwhelming at times how much he meant to her, and the thought that she could've lost him that day was definitely unsettling. But he was okay and they were there together now. "Don't worry about it too much, love. I'll help you clean and everything over the next couple days." Murmuring softly against his lips, she smiled a little and kissed him once more before lowering herself back to the flats of her feet and gazing up at him. "You feeling like anything in particular to eat, honey?" (NT) -- Dominique, 09:41:33 12/14/04 Tue
• "Anything is good by me..." He stated softly, he just hated feeling like this was such a temporary thing. He had the money, he could give her a place ten times nicer then what she had shared with Luca but this was just..a temporary place for him and that was fine by him, but she deserved so much more. His brow furrowed as he ran his hand down her back over her backside, his eyes on her curiously quiet. "Order whatever you want, darling." He stated softly, honestly, his lips caressing down her jaw sweetly for a long moment before he let out a soft breath and took a step back. (NT) -- Brett, 09:51:13 12/14/04 Tue
• "What's wrong?" Her fingers in his shirt tightened as he moved back from her, brows furrowed gently - just curious, tone tender. She let him go though, but her hands slid slowly down his arms and then up again to gently cup his face as she met his gaze lovingly. "What're you thinking?" They still had so much to learn about each other, but she loved the intrigue - maybe one day she would always be able to know what was going on inside his mind, but for now she was content to learn bit by bit day by day. (NT) -- Dom, 09:57:37 12/14/04 Tue
• He sighed softly, resting his head against hers - a smile on her face. "I am being dumb." He stated softly, brushing his lips against hers once more. "Someday, I am going to buy you a huge house, you know that? With a big pool in the backyard, maybe a waterfall going into the pool - ever seen anything like that? It's sweet." His hands brushed through her hair, his eyes serious on her. "I am going to be in this with you for the long haul, you know that? I want to be with you for good." He pressed his lips to hers again, sighing gently. He loved her more then anything in the world. (NT) -- Brett, 10:06:57 12/14/04 Tue
• She sighed softly and slipped her arms tightly around him at his words, eyes lightly shut as she envisioned it all - she believed him wholeheartedly and she trusted that he meant every word, and there wasn't a single doubt in her mind that one day they would have a beautiful house, with a swimming pool, and anything else that they could imagine. "Brett, my love, we're in this together." She promised him without hesitation - even when she had first met Luca, and before she knew anything about his occupation, she had never felt with him like she did with Brett. (NT) -- Dom, 10:11:15 12/14/04 Tue
• He smiled lovingly, pressing a soft kiss to her lips before he leaned back a bit and smiled. "Go on, honey, you go order us some food." He eased her on her way before he headed into the bedroom to try and clear out some closet space for her, compacting his clothes into two drawers and leaving her the top two. Files were put into stacks instead of strewn all over the place, there was really little personalization of the place except for the photo of her he had snagged from her place and had on his nightstand... (NT) -- Brett, 10:24:49 12/14/04 Tue
• "Pick-up or delivery?" Was her final question as she headed finally into the kitchen to rifle through the order-out menus until she settled on the classic chinese, but just waited for his response before she called and place the order. Once all that was taken care of, she got herself a glass of water from the fridge and took some more meds for her headache that lingered, then went about tidying up the kitchen a bit - not because she had made a mess, but because there was some disorganization leftover from him, likely from breakfast that morning or something. (NT) -- Dom, 10:29:27 12/14/04 Tue
• Or..breakfast two days ago, or dinner last week, but that wasn't really anything for him to say. Instead he just made up the bed and put the files in a box and set them in the closet, scooting all his suits over to one side to make more room for her stuff. His eyes drifted over the place with a critical eye before he shrugged lightly - it would have to do. Heading out to living room, he snagged up his keys and his coat, pressing a kiss to her lips briefly. "I am gonna go get the food, make yourself at home." He stated, smiling gently as he soothed his hand over her hip, glancing at the clock. "If you wanted to take a nap, it would be ok to now..." (NT) -- Brett, 10:39:42 12/14/04 Tue
• Really, she wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of staying there - or anywhere - alone right then, but she didn't want to be a baby and so didn't protest, just nodded a little with a brief smile. "I might do that... Call me when you're close to being back?" Her fingers tugged absently at his jacket to straighten it and then wordlessly zipped it up - it was getting late and it had been getting colder and colder at night out there. "You should hurry. But drive safely." She added with another small smile, eyes up on him. (NT) -- Dom, 10:44:07 12/14/04 Tue
• He nodded a bit, smiling gently as he looked down at her tenderly, he didn't really want to leave her alone either but it was just one of those things that he could not coddle her about. She needed to maintain her indapendance. It was kind of like when you fell off a horse, you had to just get right back on. A hand eased through her hair quietly, his lips brushing hers once more before he nodded and took a step back. "I will hurry baby, don't worry. Lie down if you want or take a shower..." He smiled lightly, winking before he headed out the door. (NT) -- Brett, 10:55:56 12/14/04 Tue
• She followed him to the door so that she could lock it after him and sighed quietly after he disappeared, then padded softly into the bedroom to put on an old movie and curl up in bed, burried beneath the many plush blankets. Though she knew that he was right for not babying her, the less practical side of her was wishing that he would. Sure, she was an independent woman and always had been, but she could handle being coddled just a little bit.. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to just deal, so deal she did. (NT) -- Dom, 11:03:55 12/14/04 Tue
• He got the food and hurried home as soon as he could - while he didn't want to coddle her, he definately needed to be with her also. Eagerly, he unlocked the door, food, beer, pop, milk and some other things in his armms as he pushed open the door and then closed it behind him, a smile on his lips. Quietly he put down the food and such before he locked the door and then headed over to bedroom, smiling as he saw her. "You sleeping?" He whispered quietly, his brow furrowed as he tilted his head to the side, not wanting to wake her. (NT) -- Bianca, 11:07:10 12/14/04 Tue
• "Mmm, no..." She lied because she kind of had been - but really just dozing lightly for the last while. Despite her words, it was clear that she'd napped a little bit - her eyes were slightly puffy and she just looked a little rough around the edge, but contently so. "I'm coming..." But just stretched beneath the covers and nestled down a little deeper into the cozy bed. "Go ahead and get started, I'll be right there." She was hungry, but also so warm and comfortable - it would take her a few minutes to drag herself out of bed. (NT) -- Dom, 11:13:37 12/14/04 Tue
• "We can warm it up." He stated, sliding into bed with her beneath the covers after kicking off his jeans and tugging off his hoodie. His arms went around her, cuddling her closer to his chest as he pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head. "Rest..." He murmured softly, his hand soothing over her arms and back as he held her. There was nothing more that he wanted to do with himself then hold her and fall asleep with her every night of his life.... (NT) -- Brett, 11:20:51 12/14/04 Tue
• "Mmm... You're the best..." She murmured as she watched him strip down, and then nestled immediately close to him once he was there with her, legs entwining in his and hands just resting on his chest, face ducking into his neck so she could press a warm kiss to his pulse. "I love you, Brett, you know that? More than anything else in the whole entire world." She couldn't possibly speak anything that would be more true than that, even in her dozey state. (NT) -- Dom, 11:26:10 12/14/04 Tue
• He smiled lightly, tenderly brushing back her hair as he nodded a bit. "Yeah baby, I know, I love you too..." He hugged her closer - there was no doubt in his mind that he would die for this woman if the need arose. He would do anything for her - she was what he was living for now and if there was no her then life wouldn't be worth living. Sure, he had made it wihtout her before but now that he'd had her, it would just be to hard to go back to the way things had been before there was her in his life. (NT) -- Brett, 11:28:12 12/14/04 Tue
• She just sighed and cuddled closely against him, just needing to take the time to be held by him for a few minutes - even though her stomach was grumbling and she knew he too had been hungry for hours. She would have no trouble understanding his feelings - she was pretty positive that she wouldn't be able to cut it without him ever again. He had been there for her through so much over the past few months and she never wanted to face the idea of him not being around now.. (NT) -- Dom, 11:37:22 12/14/04 Tue

• He was stretched out on to the floor in just his dress pants, shoes, socks, shirt, tie, jacket - it was all tossed in the corner of the room while he watched CSI: Miami - his absolute favorite show. "Come in." He called out, not bothering to look back at the door - he could tell her knock from anyone elses so he wasn't overly concerned about having a stranger walk into the place. (NT) -- Brett, 06:37:52 09/17/04 Fri
• She let herself in and closed and locked the door behind her, smiling a touch as she spotted him. Kicking off her shoes, she moved over to join him - kneeling so she was straddling him and leaning down to press a kiss to the side of his mouth and not saying anything until a commercial. "Hey." (NT) -- Dom, 06:41:46 09/17/04 Fri
• Once a commercial came a long he turned onto his back, his hands sliding up to her side as he smiled up at her. "Hey angel." He ran his hand idely over her side before he cleared his throat, shifting a bit beneath her. "Missed you..." He hadn't seen her for two days, that was enough for him - he had really missed her. (NT) -- Brett, 06:44:39 09/17/04 Fri
• Hands settling flat on his chest, she smiled tenderly and leaned down to kiss his forehead lightly before sighing in quiet agreement, nodding a touch. "Missed you too, sweetie.." One hand brushed down his torso just to rest on his chest and the other absently smoothed through his hair, smiling a touch. (NT) -- Dom, 06:47:39 09/17/04 Fri
• "Luca gone all night?" He questioned, his head tilted to the side as he regarded her quietly, his brow furrowed. He loved the fact he got all this time with her with Luca's trips, but he couldn't help but worry about whatever it was the man was up to. (NT) -- Brett, 06:55:46 09/17/04 Fri
• "Yeah, till tomorrow evening..." She preferred just not to think about it and just enjoy the peace and quiet - though of course he couldn't everything like she did. "How've you been?" Her fingers trailed down his jaw absently before both hands just settled on his chest once again. (NT) -- Dom, 07:05:38 09/17/04 Fri

• He actually wasn't there but within four or five moments the downstairs door was heard closing and he was heading up the stairs, smiling lightly as he saw her. "Hey..." He'd been having some inner struggles too, seeing Luca go into the shower with the woman he had just made love to, who he had just spilled his heart too....it wasn't easy to swallow. He was clad in a collarless white shirt, regular black pants and black suit jacket completing the outfit. "I didn't know you'd be stopping over today." He teased lightly, they never knew when the other would be stopping over. (NT) -- Brett, 22:01:37 08/07/04 Sat
• She had been just about to turn around to leave when he showed up, and a relieved smile softened her features. Her fingers brushed down his arm as she took him in quietly and then reached up to kiss the side of his mouth lightly - gaze quietly appreciative of his appearence, as she always was. "I'm at the beach..." One eyelid dropped into a wink as her smile grew a little - so much felt so much better when she could just see him. (NT) -- Dom, 22:05:01 08/07/04 Sat
• He nodded a bit, shifting to unlock the door and then push it open for her, trailing in behind her. He paused a moment to lock the door before he turned to her. "Everything ok after I left?" They both knew what he was talking about, that had been a way to close call. (NT) -- Brett, 22:07:39 08/07/04 Sat
• Stepping out of her flip-flops and setting her purse down, she quietly crossed her arms under her chest as she shifted to face him again. "Yeah, everything was fine..." She smothered a soft sigh and smiled reassuringly - Luca was too wrapped up in himself to have a clue that anything was different. (NT) -- Dominique, 22:11:15 08/07/04 Sat
• He shed his jacket, tossing it over the back of a chair and leaned down to pick up Sirus, ruffling the excited pups ears. "Thats good, I stuck around for a bit, just to make sure and everything seemed safe and calm." He handed the puppy over to her as he headed into the kitchen to get a drink. (NT) -- Brett, 22:17:44 08/07/04 Sat
• She sighed quietly and settled into a chair in the living room so she could cuddle with the pup - on one hand it was nice to know he was always looking out for her, but she hated knowing he had seen Luca joining her and knowing that he had had to come home alone. Her gaze followed him out before she ducked her head to let Sirus lick at her face. "Yeah... So you made it out okay?" (NT) -- Dominique, 22:29:13 08/07/04 Sat
• He smiled at her over the breakfast bar - his gaze holding hers tenderly for a moment. "Yeah...yeah I made it out." He sighed softly, getting out some juice before he called over his shoulder. "Do you want anything?" He questioned softly, his mind wandering to Luca shedding his shirt as he walked down the hallway to join her in the shower.... (NT) -- Brett, 22:45:32 08/07/04 Sat
• "I'm okay..." She murmured gently as she met his gaze softly and then set Sirus down onto the floor and stood to join him. Slipping her arms around his waist, she squeezed him tightly and reached up to kiss his jaw tenderly - she could just tell something was bothering him, and whether or not it had to do with her and/or Luca, she just hated to see him upset. (NT) -- Dom, 22:48:41 08/07/04 Sat
• He poured his juice into a cup before he shifted out of her arms to put it away. After just a moment he came back, wrapping his arm around her waist gently. "Sure you don't want anything?" (NT) -- Brett, 22:58:50 08/07/04 Sat
• "Yeah... I'm good." Sighing softly, she leaned back against the counter and crossed her arms over her chest as she watched him quietly. "Got a busy day planned?" He seemed so preoccupied and she hated it - she never wanted any time that they had together to be anything but nice... (NT) -- Dom, 23:02:25 08/07/04 Sat
• "No...not really." He let out a soft breath before he gently pressed his lips to her forehead - brushing back her hair tenderly. "I'm sorry, I am kind of out of it today." He ran his hand down her arm gently, thumb brushing over the soft skin that he was begining to adore so much. (NT) -- Brett, 23:08:07 08/07/04 Sat
• She shook her head and spread a hand over his chest, figners toying with the edge of his jacket tenderly. "Hey - don't worry about it.. It's okay... Do you want me to stay?" She questioned softly - honestly wanted to know if he wanted her around or wanted to be alone. (NT) -- Dom, 23:10:20 08/07/04 Sat
• "Yeah, stay..." He murmured softly, kissing her cheek."I want you to stay." He winked gently at her, brushing his hand through her hair slowly. "Miss me last night?" He questioned softly, his brow furrowed gently as he gazed down at her with his dark gaze focused only on her now. (NT) -- Brett, 23:16:26 08/07/04 Sat
• "Okay.." She smiled softly and slipped her arms back around him again, but then exhaled softly and nodded, reaching up to press a kiss to his pulse lightly. "So much, Brett... You have no idea..." Luca wasn't like him in any aspect - he wasn't tender and sweet, he didn't make her feel special or so incredibe... (NT) -- Dominique, 23:20:09 08/07/04 Sat
• He sighed softly, nodding at that as he held her to him suddenly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "I missed you too." He sighed softly, running his hand down her side slowly. "Your so sweet...." He smiled softly, tilting his head. "I really do miss you when your not around..." (NT) -- Brett, 23:22:44 08/07/04 Sat
• She smiled softly at that, lips warmly brushing his neck as she spoke tenderly. "Good... Because I really do miss you when you're not around." Her head tipped back slightly so she could look up at him - gaze adoring as she tightened her arms around him. (NT) -- Dom, 23:29:39 08/07/04 Sat
• He smiled softly, taking her hand and heading into the living room so they could stretch out on the couch, his gaze tender on hers. "You have no idea how badly I just wanted to take him out the other night Dom..." He frowned softly, shaking his head. "It was bad..." (NT) -- Brett, 23:37:34 08/07/04 Sat
• Exhaling softly, she nestled close to him, a leg tucking to rest between his, one hand on his side. "I'm sorry Brett... I wish you hadn't been there... No - I wish he just didn't come home, or something.." Not that she wished him dead, because that made her feel like a pretty horrible person, but it would be nice if he just disappeared... (NT) -- Dom, 23:40:15 08/07/04 Sat
• He held her tightly, not wanting to rush into sex as they always seemed too, he just wanted to hold her and talk to her. "Good thing you got in the shower when you did...you were definately looking....satisfied." He winked down at her, the back of his hand gently caressing down her smooth cheek. (NT) -- Brett, 23:45:34 08/07/04 Sat
• She laughed softly and nestled close - always more than happy just in his arms, a light flush coloring her cheeks as she ducked her face into his chest. "I was feeling pretty... 'satisfied'." Just the thought of being with him was enough to warm her blood these days. (NT) -- Dominique, 23:48:42 08/07/04 Sat
• He smiled softly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "Your so beautiful..." He winked gently, smiling at her, his eyes tender. "I want you to be thinking of me when he's touching you...." (NT) -- Brett, 23:57:16 08/07/04 Sat
• She smiled slowly at that and brushed her fingers down his jaw, voice soft and honest. "I do, Brett.. Ever since the first time you touched me - it's been all about you whenever he touches me.." It was the truth and she didn't feel bad admitting it. He was the guy for her, and they both knew it. (NT) -- Dom, 00:01:10 08/08/04 Sun
• He sighed softly, turning his head to kiss her fingertips gently, his hand soothing over her leg as he pulled her gently into his lap. "Your to good for him Dominique, he doesn't deserve you...." Really, neither did he. They were both living in this fantasy world, once he was done here he would have to move on...then what would they do? (NT) -- Brett, 00:10:11 08/08/04 Sun
• She had thought the same, but now she couldn't possibly imagine them not being together - though somewhere deep inside she kind of knew that even after Luca was gone, everything wouldn't be easy and perfect. Cuddling against his chest, she sighed and pressed a kiss to his jaw tenderly. "Either way, it doesn't matter, because I just don't want to be with him anymore..." (NT) -- Dominique, 03:59:12 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled softly, his arms going around her tenderly. "I don't deserve you either..." He pressed a kiss to her temple, brushing his hands through her hair lovingly. "I think..pretty soon now...Luca is going to be running an errand to Miami..so he'll be gone a few days...you should stay here with me when he goes." He looked down at her, almost appearing nervous at his request. (NT) -- Brett, 04:02:26 08/08/04 Sun
• "Sometimes I think that I don't deserve you..." She murmured honestly with a soft sigh - he was such an amazing guy, with an important career, and so handsome, who was she kidding? A small, sweet smile lit her features at his request and she nodded slightly, but without hesitation. "I would love to..." Her fingers smoothed his hair quietly as her eyes met his - nothing but affection softening their dark depths. (NT) -- Dominique, 04:05:25 08/08/04 Sun
• "Good...I just want to go through a normal day with you...just a normal couple of days....laying around the house, looking over at you while I am working..." He winked lightly, kissing her lips briefly. "And Sirus would love to have you here..." He grinned. "I don't pay attention to the puppy enough, he's feeling neglected." He smirked gently, winking at her playfully. (NT) -- Brett, 04:08:23 08/08/04 Sun
• "Can we not wear any clothes for the whole time?" She teased playfully and kissed him in return before laughing softly, her lips playing over his cheek and down his jaw lovingly before she just rested her forehead against his while she spoke quietly. "Poor puppy... You need to pay him more attention." (NT) -- Dominique, 04:10:59 08/08/04 Sun
• He grinned lightly, his hand trailing down her side - his gaze serious "You know I am planning on this being long term.....I'll figure out something, someway to keep us alright, you know that right?" He questioned softly, his eyes following hers before he turned onto his back, drawing her gently against his chest. (NT) -- Brett, 04:18:04 08/08/04 Sun
• She couldn't help the soft, relieved sigh that slipped from her lips at his words - he was the type of guy who didn't hesitate to assure her that everything would be okay, and she believed him with all her heart. Smiling sweetly again, she nodded a touch and dipped her head to kiss him - just quickly, but lovingly. "Good..." (NT) -- Dominique, 04:20:51 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled softly, kissing her gently with a tender smile. "Everything is going to work out for us...I'll make sure it does." He grinned lightly, winking down at her. "For real, we'll be happy and I'll give you everything you ever wanted or needed..." He smiled gently before he tugged her tighter. "Wanna watch tv?" They never just got to do anything normal together and he felt bad for that. (NT) -- Brett, 04:29:31 08/08/04 Sun
• "I know you will..." She nodded a touch and smiled at him, head tilted delicately as her fingers played down his jaw. "Everything I've ever wanted or needed, and more, I bet.." Nestling against him, she shrugged and then nodded, fingers toying with his shirt just absently. "Sure..." (NT) -- Dominque, 04:32:07 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled softly, winking at her. "More then you could need, or want...I am going to spoil you rotten." He smirked, leaning over to turn on the tv. "I have all this money, and never really had anything to spend it on." He winked at her quietly once more, before handing her the remote and letting her scan the channels for something that caught her attention. (NT) -- Brett, 04:46:32 08/08/04 Sun
• She cocked a brow affectionately, a small loving smirk lighting her content features. "Sweet, handsome, and rich? If I'm dreaming, I never want to wake up..." She winked before just cuddled against him and flipping slowly through the channels - pausing every once in a while to watch a bit but not really settling on anything. (NT) -- Dom, 04:50:12 08/08/04 Sun
• He grinned lightly, she had no idea. "I'll be able to retire by the time I am 35...." He told her idely, his hand trailing over her side gently. "We could move anywhere you wanted, we could stay here, or go to some island somewhere...live in the mountains...whatever your litlte heart desired." (NT) -- Brett, 04:56:35 08/08/04 Sun
• "All of it." She stated with a small grin and nuzzled his neck tenderly - all this talk about the rest of their lives together making her feel especially cuddly. It was amazing - over two years with Luca and they had never talked about marriage, she hadn't even known Brett two months and it didn't scare her at all to be talking about where they would be in ten years. (NT) -- Dominique, 04:59:11 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled gently, holding her close. "I wouldn't mind staying here, but we have to be careful with my work and all...but like I said..a little under 10 years and I will be retired..." He grinned lightly, looking down at her. "Freaking out yet?" (NT) -- Brett, 05:02:50 08/08/04 Sun
• She laughed softly and shook her head slowly, head cocking as she stopped playing with the remote and looked to him, a hand caressing his cheek. "Surprisingly not... It's exciting... And I can't imagine wanting to be with anyone else like I want to be with you..." (NT) -- Dominique, 05:05:19 08/08/04 Sun
• "Good...cuz I want to be with you." He smiled softly, brushing back her hair. "I want to be with you long term - I want to take care of you and see you smile in the morning...tuck you in next to me at night... Make love to you every chance I get..." He grinned gently, looking down at her with a tender smile. (NT) -- Brett, 05:14:43 08/08/04 Sun
• Sighing softly, she nuzzled his neck and nipped tenderly at his pulse before smiling again. "Why didn't you find me sooner?" Her tone was gentle though - they had found each other, and that was what was most important now.. (NT) -- Dom, 05:34:12 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled softly, tilting his head. "Everything happens when it does for a reason I suppose.." He murmured lightly, kissing her cheek before he glanced back to the tv. "Ok, what are we going to watch? Nothing girly, I have to keep up my image you know?" He groaned lightly as his cell phone rang, mkaing him climb out from beneath her and shake his head. "Welcome to my life sweetheart. It never ends" She deserved fair warning. (NT) -- Brett, 05:37:42 08/08/04 Sun
• She laughed softly, one arm looped loosely around his neck as she continued on past the sitcom she had paused on. At his phone, she smiled understandingly and shifted so he could move - she could handle that sort of thing, as long as she got him in the end. "No worries..." (NT) -- Dominique, 05:43:18 08/08/04 Sun
• He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead gently as he reached for his phone. "Holden." He stated lightly, tilting his head to the side as he leaned against the back of the couch, his hand playing lightly through her hair as he held a quiet conversation. He didn't move away from her, there was nothing he didn't want her to hear in this conversation. It wasn't that he was trying to hide things from her, he was just tryingt o do everything in his power to keep her at her absolute safest - most of the time...ignorance really was bliss. (NT) -- Brett, 05:51:09 08/08/04 Sun
• Her hand played absently up and down his leg, settling eventually high on the inside of his thigh - television muted while she flipped channels still, eyes on the picture contently. She still had a few hours before she should get heading home - it didn't bother her at all if he had some things to take care of.. It was part of his life. (NT) -- Dom, 05:54:32 08/08/04 Sun
• He nodded, moving to the kitchen to jot down some things before he flipped open his lap top - holding the phone between his ear and shoulder - typing in a few things, occasionally glancing over to her. This is what he wanted - he wanted to be able to see her when he was working, to walk over and kiss her briefy if he wanted to.... (NT) -- Brett, 05:58:19 08/08/04 Sun
• Once he left the room, she turned the volume on the television back on but kept it low - returning to watch her sitcom contently, just comfortable and secure knowing he was near. She shifted to stretch out on the couch, nestled into the back and eyes on her show - so relaxed... (NT) -- Dominique, 06:00:13 08/08/04 Sun
• He came back in a few moments later - kissing her temple lightly - before he sat down with her. "Ok, done there. Now, whatcha watching sweetheart?" He winked teasingly, brushing a hand through her hair. "This is so great, Dom." (NT) -- Brett, 06:10:31 08/08/04 Sun
• She shifted and then tugged him gently to lie behind her, a finger pressing to his lips lightly as she winked. "Cosby Show. Ruthie's running away because Theo was mean to her... Shh." Her fingers slipped into his and pulled his hand over her stomach while she turned her attention back to her show. (NT) -- Dom, 06:26:19 08/08/04 Sun
• "This show is so dumb." He groaned, though he really didn't like the show he was content to watch anything with her. "This is so nice...." He murmured again - pressing a kiss to her neck gently - his mind playing over the words that were resting on his tongue. (NT) -- Brett, 06:40:13 08/08/04 Sun
• "Hey. Lay off." She winked playfully but then shifted back against him with a soft sigh, her fingers absently squeezing his. "So nice..." Her tone was tender and her gaze loving as she glanced back to him, brushing a light kiss to his jaw. (NT) -- Dom, 06:45:52 08/08/04 Sun
• He grinned lightly, pressing a kiss to her temple before he kissed down to her ear, nipping lightly at her lobe, tuggng gently. "I want to tell you something, I need to tell you something, but I want you think calmly about it and not flip out on me alright?" He questioned softly, his breath warm against her ear as he spoke - his words barely a whisper even though they were the only ones in the room. (NT) -- Brett, 06:54:22 08/08/04 Sun
• Her eyes slid slowly shut as she listened carefully to him, absently turning down the television just so she could focus on him. Her fingers worked quietly up his arm, teeth catching her lower lip for a moment - generally not-so-great things started out with a warning like that. "You can tell me anything..." (NT) -- Dominique, 06:57:01 08/08/04 Sun
• His fingers gently trailed down her jaw - his gaze adoring as he watched her. His gaze was soft and tender as he gazed at her - shifting so he was more comfortable and could meet her gaze more fully "I'm falling in love with you, Dominique Shaw." The words were hard for him to say, but once he realized it he had to tell her. He couldn't go through a day knowing anything could happen to him and she may never know how deep his feelings went. (NT) -- Brett, 07:03:42 08/08/04 Sun
• It took a long moment for the true meaning of those words to sink in, but once they did - she couldn't help the small, almost shy smile that softened her young, pretty features. Voice a low whisper, her hand moved slowly down his chest and then just rested on his side - twisted into his shirt. "And... I'm falling in love with you, Brett." She wasn't saying that just because he had - she meant it with all her heart. (NT) -- Dominique, 07:06:58 08/08/04 Sun
• "Yeah?" He let out a soft breath, as if he was almost afraid to believe the words that just came out of her mouth. He needed reassurance, this was scarier then deactivating a bomb to him - he was nervous and unsure - two things that never happened to him. (NT) -- Brett, 07:12:28 08/08/04 Sun
• "For real, Brett... I'm so serious.." And she was - but sweetly so. Her fingers trailed lovingly down his jaw as she shifted impossibly closer, tucking one leg between his - it scared her too, how serious things had gotten so quickly, but only because she worried she could lose him at any time. (NT) -- Dom, 07:16:19 08/08/04 Sun
• "I'm not an easy guy to love...." He murmured softly, his brow furrowed. "But you know that I will do everything I can to make you as happy as possible and make this so easy for you..." He murmured, kissing her neck softly, his lips warm and soft there. "Your so soft right here. you taste so good.." He smiled gently, nuzzling slowly. (NT) -- Brett, 07:20:57 08/08/04 Sun
• "I know baby, but I trust you... And I trust that you'll do what you can to make things as easy as possible, but no matter what happens - it won't stop me from loving you." She smiled quietly as her eyes slid slowly shut and a low sigh slipped from her parted lips - she loved the immediate twisting in her stomach as his kisses and words. (NT) -- Dominqiue, 07:23:42 08/08/04 Sun
• He grinned gently nodding a bit. "I'm glad sweetheart..." He pressed another soft kiss to her shoulder, his lips trailing back up to her neck, nipping gently there but still being careful not to leave a mark or anything like that. "Not to soon for all of this for you?" He questioned softly, his fingers slipping over her stomache. (NT) -- Brett, 07:42:03 08/08/04 Sun
• "Maybe if you were anyone else..." She commented absently - a couple months ago, she never would have been able to imagine feeling so strongly about someone so quickly. But she knew it was possible now and there was no point in hiding or surpressing their feelings. Her head tilted involuntarily and her eyes slid lightly shut at his kisses - just quietly enjoying his attention. (NT) -- Dom, 07:44:23 08/08/04 Sun
• "I agree." He murmured softly, kissing gently down her collarbone before he shifted her gently. "Come on, wanna go to my room for a little while?" He questioned quietly, offering her his hand. He just wanted to lay around and touch her and kiss her and tell her how much he cared about her, how deep his feelings ran... (NT) -- Brett, 07:53:06 08/08/04 Sun
• She smiled and nodded a touch, her fingers in his as she stood, and then flipped off the television and let him lead the way - of course, she would have followed him to the moon right then. "I should leave by 5... I said I would be back for dinner..." She didn't want to remind him of the way things really were, but it was important they not lose track of time again. (NT) -- Dom, 08:01:38 08/08/04 Sun
• "Alright." He grabbed his cell phone, setting the alarm to 4:30 but then turned off the ringer so no one could disturb them. He led the way into the bedroom, gently pushing Sirus back into the hallway. "Sorry buddy, go watch tv." He paused a moment before he picked up the puppy, went into the living room, turned on the tv and then set the puppy on the couch before he went back into the bedroom and closed the door behind them. (NT) -- Brett, 08:13:38 08/08/04 Sun
• "Poor Sirus.." She murmured - feigning sadness though she did actually feel a little bad for putting the pup out. A soft smile touched her lips when he turned off the ringer and her fingers slipped back into his to tug him gently with her to stretch out on the bed. (NT) -- Dom, 08:17:34 08/08/04 Sun
• He gently stretched out over her, a knee on either side of her. "Your so beautiful..." He murmured as he kissed down her jaw, across her neck and over the top of her chest. "I want to make love to you today.." He murmured, before he corrected himself. "Actually...I want to make love to you every day." He winked teasingly as he raised his head for a moment. (NT) -- Brett, 08:21:09 08/08/04 Sun
• She grinned slowly, hands moving down his sides to twist into the hem of his tee, and then drawing it up over his head. "Well you nearly do... A few times..." She couldn't get over how strong their attraction was - there was so much more to them then just the physical, but man the physical was unbelievable. (NT) -- Dom, 08:25:40 08/08/04 Sun
• "You know, if your never not up to it...you could tell me Dom, I would understand." She was bound to get sore, with him taking at least once sometimes twice in a short time, and then Luca having his way with her, his hand gently soothed over her - that was one of the reasons why he was always so gently, so intent on pleasing her. (NT) -- Brett, 08:29:11 08/08/04 Sun
• She smiled softly - once in a while she had been, but it was Luca she wanted to refuse, not him... And he was so gentle with her. Her fingers of one hand brushed through his hair lovingly and she shook her head, free hand working over the muscles of his broad back. "I know you would, baby..." (NT) -- Dom~, 08:31:53 08/08/04 Sun
• "So anytime...you just let me know...are you ok now?" He questioned softly, tiltng his head to press a kiss to her jaw. He was different with her then he was with the other girls he had been with - he took from them, he used them as just a shell to find his release, with her, it was mostly about her. He wouldn't lie and say all, because damn, it was good - even if he was holding himself at bay a little. (NT) -- Brett, 08:39:37 08/08/04 Sun
• "I'm good - great..." She assured him softly with a small smile, fingers drifting to his hips to pull him a little closer - she would likely never refuse him, but if she enjoyed being with him this much now, she could only imagine what things would be like when Luca was out of the picture. (NT) -- Dom, 08:45:55 08/08/04 Sun
• He sighed softly, taking his time to gently take her clothes off - whispering soft compliments about every part of her as he uncovered them. His hands gently touched her, admiring, worshiping, speaking soft words of love as he caressed her. (NT) -- Brett, 08:48:27 08/08/04 Sun
• She just relaxed into the pillows with a long low sigh, hands playing through his hair as she inhaled softly - muscles dancing appreciately beneath his touch. Warmth colored her cheeks and her eyes watched him silently - darkening just slightly. (NT) -- Dom, 08:52:54 08/08/04 Sun
• He shifted so he was on his back and she was on top of him, a position rarely used with them but today he felt like something different - they were usually so hurried that it was just the normal release, not that it wasn't tender and sweet, but he didn't want anything to get boring. He brought her hands gently to the clasp on his pants, gazing up at her tenderly. (NT) -- Brett, 08:55:55 08/08/04 Sun
• She smiled and leaned down to kiss his neck warmly, sucking heavily at his pulse as her fingers worked his pants open. Boring wasn't something she expected to happen - but it did feel at times like they were just waiting to be rid of Luca to really let loose and feel free to do whatever they pleased.. (NT) -- Dom, 09:01:11 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled gently, his hand sliding up and down her bare sides before his thumbs lifted to caress the swells that were presented to him, swallowing softly as he looked up at her again. (NT) -- Brett, 09:07:03 08/08/04 Sun
• At his touch, her breath caught and she nipped sharply at his warm, soft skin, shifting up a little so she could work his pants down his hips. She couldn't imagine ever tiring of him - or this - and it was likely she never would.. (NT) -- Dom, 09:17:44 08/08/04 Sun
• He sighed softly, watching her tenderly,one hand covering the back of her head to keep her lips where they were - encouraging her quietly to leave her mark on him as he lifted his hips to allow her to slide them off. His hands played through her hair gently, teasing through the silky strands that he loved so much. He couldn't imagine caring this much about someone, adoring each and every aspect of her.... (NT) -- Brett, 09:20:31 08/08/04 Sun
• She needed little encouragement and just settled back to sucking heavily at his neck, lips drifting down a couple inches to suck now at the ridge of his collarbone only after her first mark was left. One hand rested flat on his chest and the other slipped down to find his warm, newly exposed flesh.. (NT) -- Dominique, 09:23:54 08/08/04 Sun
• He groaned heavily - hips pushing into her touch of their inclination. He couldn't help how much he wanted and needed her, and the desire was quite evident beneath her touch. His hand fisted in her hair as he smiled sheepishly, letting out a soft breath. "It was a rough night last night..." He murmured softly. (NT) -- Brett, 09:29:01 08/08/04 Sun
• Her fingers tenderly caressed him as she smiled against his skin and pulled back just a little - blowing a cool stream of air to the second mark before she spoke softly, honestly. "Every time he touched me, I was wishing it was you..." (NT) -- Dominique, 09:31:58 08/08/04 Sun
• He sighed softly, letting out a slow breath. "Your perfect sweetheart...I wish it was me touching each time..." He cleared his throat, hips shifting again against her touch. "Your driving me crazy..." He murmured softly, letting out a soft breath as he attempted to control himself. (NT) -- Brett, 09:39:03 08/08/04 Sun
• "Right, sorry.." She teased gently - as if she had forgotten what he was ultimately waiting for. She held off a little longer though - just working at him lovingly and lips brushing the line of his jaw - before finally moving over him... (NT) -- Dom, 09:42:42 08/08/04 Sun
• His hands were still clutching her hips as he shifted a few more times beneath her before he finally let out a low groan escaping - head falling back to the pillow. "Some day Dominique..." He cleared his throat, swallowing as he still held her closely to him - not wanting to break their union. "Some day I am going to do things to you that you would never even dream of." When they had all the time he was going make love ot her in every single way he knew possible..and a few ways he had never tried - he couldn't help but smirk at that thought. (NT) -- Brett, 09:46:13 08/08/04 Sun
• She leaned down over his chest and burried her face in his neck as a low breath escaped and her hands slipped down to rest lightly at his sides, light tremors shaking her slender frame, voice low and soft. "Can't wait..." He felt so incredible now, she couldn't even imagine what was to come. (NT) -- Dom, 09:51:02 08/08/04 Sun
• He swallowed heavily, gently turning her over on her back so he could take her once more - this time slow and gentle - careful not to press her to much - but making love in every essence of the phrase. (NT) -- Brett, 09:55:50 08/08/04 Sun
• Her fingers tightened into the muscles at his back as she exhaled a long, low breath, relaxing beneath him, eyes squeezed softly shut. "God, Brett...." Her body trembled beneath him - feeling the effects of his attention, though her grip on him hinted that she wasn't ready for him to leave her yet. (NT) -- Dom, 10:03:17 08/08/04 Sun
• He didn't move for her - just resting inside of her gently - quietly. His lips caressed her neck softly, his chest pressed tightly against hers. "Your so beautiful...I love you." He murmured softly, nuzzling her neck gently, lovingly. (NT) -- Brett, 10:05:13 08/08/04 Sun
• That brought a soft sound to her lips and her eyes fluttered slowly open - it was one thing when the words were insinuated, but it was something else to actually hear them. Her hands played up his back and then brushed through his hair tenderly, her voice low. "I love you too, Brett..." (NT) -- Dom, 10:10:00 08/08/04 Sun
• He smiled gently, pressing a kiss through to her lips briefly before he heard his cell phone go off to tell them it was 4:30. "Mmm...wanna go take a shower sweetheart?" He questioned softly, sighing as he reluctantly left her. "I'd offer to join you, but I don't think we would be out by five." (NT) -- Brett, 10:14:48 08/08/04 Sun
• She sighed at the sound of his alarm, hands slipping down his arm reluctantly as he moved. "I should..." She laughed softly and shifted to sit up, a hand on his stomach as she leaned down to kiss him briefly. "You're probably right there..." (NT) -- Dom, 10:18:37 08/08/04 Sun
• He sighed softly, his hand moving over her chest slowly, kneading for a moment before he controlled himself and pulled back. "Go on, take your shower...your looking all satisfied again." She definately looked like a woman who had just had sex. (NT) -- Brett, 10:20:40 08/08/04 Sun
• His touch just sent another wave of warmth through him before she swatted at his hand and shfited to stand. "Stop that..." Not that she really wanted him to - just that if he kept touching her, there was no way she'd leave by 5. Laughing softly, she called back over her shoulder before ducking into the bathroom and flipping on the shower. "I gotta work on that - looking less satisfied.." (NT) -- Dom, 10:26:30 08/08/04 Sun
• He grinned softly, letting out a low groan as he rested back against the bed, taking in the scent of her around him with a gentle groan. "I like it..." He murmured softly, yawning softly. (NT) -- Brett, 10:28:20 08/08/04 Sun
• She was smiling softly as she climbed into the shower and washed up quickly but unenthusiastically - she would have been content to lie there with him for the rest of the evening. Emerging from the bathroom not much later, she dropped the towel around herself as she slowly pulled her clothes on - eyes on him as often as possible. (NT) -- Dominique, 10:33:54 08/08/04 Sun
• He kept silent as he watched her, just admiring her and thinking of all things he loved her for. It was strange, the thing that would stick out in his mind the most out of this day would be her laying on the couch while he did some work, the way he had been able to play his fingers through her hair as he was on the phone.... (NT) -- Brett, 10:35:13 08/08/04 Sun
• She had a few minutes to spare and so just crawled back into bed with him and cuddled against his chest with a soft, contented sigh, one hand flat on his stomach before she shifted to brush her lips over his chest. "Don't we\anna go" (NT) -- Dom, 10:41:28 08/08/04 Sun
• "I know..." He held her to him lightly, hugging her gently before he sighed softly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "I am not going to be around the next couple of days..." He had waited until now to tell her, not wanting to dampen their casual day. (NT) -- Brett, 10:43:09 08/08/04 Sun
• Her brows furrowed gently and she pulled back a little to look at him - it bothered her only because she now had just a few minutes for she had to go, and it was going to be a couple days before she could see him again. "What?" (NT) -- Dom, 10:49:34 08/08/04 Sun
• He sighed softly, brushing his fingers through her hair. "For at least two, I'll come and see you as soon as I am back..thats what the phone call had been about...." He shrugged a little, twirling a strand of her hair around his finger absently. (NT) -- Brett, 10:52:50 08/08/04 Sun
• "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She questioned softly, just honestly curious - she just wished she had had more time to get used to to the idea, with his company around. Sighing quietly, she ran a hand lightly over her hair. "Gonna be careful?" (NT) -- Dom, 10:59:13 08/08/04 Sun
• "I didn't you being all sad and thinking about me leaving..." He murmured softly, pressing a kiss to her check softly. "Of course I'll be carefull, ten times more so then before." He smiled tenderly, his hand drifting down her hair. "I have something to come home for now...." He hadn't before, other then Sirus. "Do me a favor though? Stop over and feed Sirus?" (NT) -- Brett, 11:01:08 08/08/04 Sun
• "A hundred times more careful, Brett." She sighed quietly and shifted reluctantly to stand, a hand flat on his chest as her lips brushed his warmly - she really had to get going soon. "Of course... Poor puppy.. I'll come as often as possible to keep him company too." (NT) -- Dom, 11:05:51 08/08/04 Sun
• "Thanks baby..." He murmured softly, his hand running down her side as she stood, before he stood with her and wrapped her in his tight embrace. "Remember, I love you." He grinned gently, so happy to be able to say those words to her. (NT) -- Brett, 11:07:48 08/08/04 Sun
• It was quite possible that there was no way she would ever be able to be mad at him or stay upset as long as he was saying those words to her. "I love you too. Be safe, Brett." She murmured quietly, brows gently furrowed as her hands spread over his chest. (NT) -- Dom, 11:13:36 08/08/04 Sun
• "I will do my best, love." He sighed softly, leaning down to kiss her gently, before he walked her to the door. "Drive safe..." (NT) -- Brett, 11:19:45 08/08/04 Sun
• She nodded and kissed him briefly, tenderly, once more before stepping out the door. "Come see me soon as you're back and Luca's out..." Her eyes played tenderly over his features for a long moment before she offered him a small smile. (NT) -- Dom, 11:24:35 08/08/04 Sun
• He nodded lightly, it wasn't easy for him to let her go either. "Will do sweetheart, be safe." He blew her a kiss with a wink before he slowly closed the door, sighing and running his hand down his face - going to lose himself in his work. (NT) -- Brett, 11:27:29 08/08/04 Sun
• She took her time heading home - calling along the way to see what Luca wanted for dinner and stopping to pick up the food. It was going to be a long couple days without him around, but she would survive.. -- Dom, 11:34:28 08/08/04 Sun
