~oooOYOHOHOooo~

The sun had barely been over the horizon when three large SUV with tinted windows came barreling down off the highway and heading straight towards the restricted area that was becoming populated by both pedestrians and newscaster as they were coming in by the dozen. It hadn't taken that long for the officials to catch wind of the unexpected explosion that occurred at two-fifteen that very morning. With very little intel on what was going down other than what they were told before but now finding this happen and at their secret base that didn't waste time dallying as they called a few of their people in to check it out.
They had to be certain that nothing was brought to light as their reputation would be jeopardized if they didn't keep the media from uncovering anything that could directly be linked to them and having that information spread across the county like wildfire would be disastrous. They had to put a stop to it and intercept any that could be documenting or attempting to within that small timeframe.
By the time their men arrive on the scene, the compound was a total wreck, charred to a bitter crisp with everything inside burned beyond recognition. There were firefighters busy putting out the flickering flames while some going inside to see if there were any people within the building only to later return to grab some body bags for those they manage to come across but would take a forensic to identify them if possible.
With the immediate destruction of the laboratory now lost inside the smoldering wreckage, everything being unsalvageable, all that viable data most likely gone up in smoke with it. Even so they still had to do damage control and immediately took over in covering everything while doing their own personal investigation into the matter to figure out what just went on down there.
It took a few hours to gather what they needed to find and then when every official was gather into the conference room that later afternoon to discuss what little they manage to collaborate from the sight and other reports, something between a faulty experiment gone haywire to one of deliberate means of sabotage as no one should be that stupid when it came to such hazardous chemicals and equipment.
A few made some open remarks as they suspect foul play, some who silently assume it to be one person arrogant enough yet with all the bodies recovered but not able to determine which was who as they were burnt beyond recognition, though found it had three females and four males. That meant only one person was still alive and figuring which one it was and have them brought in for immediate questioning.
It didn't take long to find which one it was and letting someone alert Joanna Charnel that her presence was being summoned by the board of directors that day. She arrived at the pentagon looking uncertain as to why she was being brought in and being led into the interrogation room where she saw two men in military uniform waiting for her. She was given the chance to sit before being told about the unfortunate accident that occurred and how she was the only one left that hadn't been caught by the debris.
Finally realizing as why she was brought in and also them being obviously curious to know the reason to her not being inside the building day when the explosion occurred. The ones behind the two-way mirror were also watching her and gauging her reaction to see whether she had something to do with this or not. They noted the shock expression that appear on her face, the way she looked distraught to hear everyone on the team was dead and then saw her close to tears but wasn't about to let them fall.
While getting over the sudden news of what happened to her colleagues, she managed to compose herself long enough to answer their question even as she was still reeling by this unexpected tragedy. She started at the very beginning, explaining how there had been some serious issues with the serum, a flaw that they had overlooked but finding had generally it had mutated inside the body once injected which trigger an abnormality unforeseen and spread like cancer.
She told how this had the cells rapidly deteriorating at an alarming rate and even with their attempts to resolve the problem and reverse it, it did more harm than good. They found it cause the target to be more erratic in behavior, uncontrollable even when sedated and becoming much harder to keep under control.
Everyone in the group had been doing all they could with figuring the dilemma and while Joanna had been going over every hypothesis and theory in between work and on her own spare time. The reason why she hadn't been at the compound was that she had been working on the issue at home and a to prove her point, she reached into her pocket to remove her keys, showing the thumb drive she carried on her person.
"I always keep a backup, we all did as we prefer to take our work home with us and work where we were most comfortable and I had spent twenty-four hours on it but I will let you take a look for yourselves if you wish."
She set it down in front of them and no one could miss the glint in their eyes when they took notice of the small hand device. The officials seeing that everything was not all lost and wouldn't have to work from scratch. Though they realized there might be a price to pay for her to willingly give them what they wanted. It didn't take long before negotiation had been laid out and given Joey a few papers to sign and then shook hands while the ink was drying and part ways.
She was let out the door with a reasonable compensation for all her hard work with an added bonus for keeping her silence and not speak a word of this to anyone outside those four walls. They figured it would be best for her to keep her mouth shut and also see she didn't try anything, had their men keep watch on her for surveillance until they were convinced otherwise.
Joey had kept her face impassive but drop it once she exited the building and heading towards her car that was parked not far from there. It was only until she was a few miles out did she release the tension from her lungs and then smiling to herself, seeing that went better than expected and glad she managed to pull that off with no trouble at all whatsoever.
It had been a very risky gamble as she feared she might've given herself away but thanks to those meditations and breathing exercises that kept her well calm and able to speak without stumbling over them. She had given them what they wanted to hear, well half truth within the whole tale but they wouldn't know as it was her word against everyone's and there was nobody else who could counter it.
Plus, she did consider what she might have to do in order to get out of this without being thrown into prison for conspiracy and by dangling the carrot in front of their nose seem to work in her favor as she came out with a nice fat check for all her worth. Yeah it looked all good on her end.
Though she knew it would be a good long while before she can let her guard down as they were most likely keeping tabs on her every move even as soon as she left the building. They would have to be fools not to consider and it took nearly three months before she thought their watchdogs were long gone and heading back to base, finally leaving her in peace. She had also check to find they hadn't bug her place but made to be extra cautious just in case they would tap her phone lines or computer just to be sure.
When she thought the coast was most definitely clear, she proceeds onto the next phase and called in a few numbers to get the task done.
When she had all the arrangements done and a couple weeks later had all her things packed and already shipped off, though some of the furniture had to either go into storage or were sold off but she didn't mind. She wouldn't need them where she was going as it was already furnished but would like to have some of her keepsakes with her if possible. When she saw that nothing had been left and the realtor having found someone interest in her former home and already got it worked out to have them move within the following month.
Joey had paid her last rent and given the key over to the realtor and hope the people that bought the place enjoy it as much as she had. It was sad to leave it all behind but she felt it was time for a change and start fresh elsewhere.
She put the last of her belongings in her car and then getting onto the highway without too much hassle that afternoon. The drive cross state took nine and a half hours even with the short stops to refuel or use the bathroom and by the time she got there, it was twilight and barely a soul in sight upon her arrival. She had taken another turn off where the streets and small town area seem to slowly disappear as she went towards the remote wilderness that seem to have trees for miles before finally arriving at her immediate destination.
She parked her Lexus inside the separate garage/storeroom that sat behind the building before coming out to take a good hard look at the two-story cabin that was there. This was a piece of her family's property, having been built by her great-grandfather's as he had it constructed for his new bride in the years of their marriage and had pass onto his son when the time came and so on and so forth.
It was rather quaint with that rustic country feel and seeing it had been well maintained over the years and while her dad had the place refurnished and adding a few new things like the sundeck and open veranda to overlook the lake and such. It certainly turned out to be the perfect haven to escape from the busy network and having shared so many wonderful summers going up here.
This was all hers and very grateful that she never sold it even though the memories at the time had been too much to bare yet couldn't let something of her family just be given to the bank because of her own heartache.
But now, now she had a new purpose for it as she went to pull her suitcases from the trunk and walking towards the vacated porch. She was getting ready to unlock the door when she heard it slowly opening and then feeling herself being tugged in without any warning. Her body was push up against the door, slamming it shut behind her before she felt those warm familiar lips as they pressed into hers, kissing her roughly and feeling his tongue slip into her waiting mouth.
She had thought he would've been asleep when she got in but she had clearly underestimated him and not minding at all as he came to greet her like this. When she was able to breath and smiling gently while reaching with one hand to caress where her lover's face was, finding it just a few inches from hers which she didn't mind at all.
"I'm glad to see you manage to make yourself comfortable in my absence Sebastian. Sorry it took me so long but you know I would have come sooner if I had the chance."
She felt his invisible arms move down her back and knowing he had definitely been missing her although at least he made himself at home when she gave him the key and also some cash through the mail to keep him from sneaking to town.
Would be hard to deal with people gawking at him especially in his strange disguise but seeing how isolated and remote the area was, Sebastian didn't have to worry so much.
"Hey it's fine, I knew that you had to go and keep those idiots preoccupied as last thing we need is them showing up and finding out about little old me. Thanks by the way for letting me stay here in the meantime, you have no idea how much I appreciate this little hidey hole here."
Sebastian may not be an outdoorsman type of guy, being use to living in more an urban lifestyle but beggars can't be choosers and in his case it was better to have no one come snooping or wondering what was going on.
"So I take it all went well when you saw them? I imagine they must be going over Linda's old notes and by the time they manage to test it, they will probably run into a few problems and still wonder what the issue is." He wished he could see the look on their faces as they try to figure out what was wrong and not realize that they were given those bogus notes and not the originals themselves.
"True but I doubt they'll even realize it as they are very similar but with a few mathematical differences in some areas. So did you manage to get what you needed? Were there any problems?"
She had mentally been going over the things that were necessary in order to reverse the damage done to him. They had the basic equipment and limited chemicals but needed specific ones that would be vital in this procedure.
"Some but I'm sure we can get the rest later. I took a look at your gramp's stuff and they seem pretty sturdy even though they're a bit outdated but hey at least the basement is well modified and gives us a lab to work with, got to give him props for that."
"Yeah that he did, given he was a brilliant chemist back in his day and even help me to gain a better understanding of the concept in theory and such before high school. My folks thought I was more like him and left this room alone, yet kept it locked because they didn't want to risk me doing any dangerous experiments until I knew better. Grandma on the other hand thought it was a waste of space down there and had to move most of the stuff up to the attic instead. She always did like to complain about that."
She heard him chuckle and Joanna lean against him, feeling content to be in his arms after so long. It felt like ages since they were like this and having to be separate from him had been unbearable. Even though they had nothing to convicted her with, she had been so scared that they would find something damnable and lock her away.
Or one of her worst while she had been driving up here that they tail her and would find out about him. So she had to wait until the heat died down so she could get it all arrange. She moved to lie her head against his chest, feeling at ease as she heard his heartbeat drumming up by her ear while invisible fingers were running through her hair. She had her face buried in his naked chest, inhaling the faint scent of his intermixed with that of wood and other earthly spices that seem to cling to his pores.
"I'm just glad that we won't have to worry any further and can move forward with our plan and see that we can do without anymore interference."
"You and me both Joanna." Then she felt his lips once more on hers and feeling herself melted into the kiss which she couldn't help smiling as she thought she was definitely right where she belonged. "You and me both…"
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
Time can pass like one big blur as the years fly by and being almost a decade since that moment. The summers up north were consider to be reasonable with its fair climates and fine weather when the temperatures were just right. No more was said true up within the Vermont area during that time of year.
Many people would either flock to the south like Florida or other sunny states to catch rays or enjoy fair beaches, while fairer few prefer a more different approach and head to where the grand mountains, or even close to a lake was perfect for anyone, especially for one certain family that was enjoying this as much as others would at their little private getaway, a home away from home.
The perfect place to have some R and R. Joey enjoy these quiet moments, finding time for herself to just breath and not stress so much over the smallest things. She had been sorting a few things that were taking up space in the closets and planned to be set for storage up in the attic.
While she would've like some assistance with this, her husband had taken the kids out and since this wasn't too much of a hassle for her to handle, despite his insistence that she didn't overexert herself but was just one small box and wasn't that heavy in all honesty.
Walking up and down the stairs was good exercise, she told herself as she had made it to the top and setting it down over one of the other box. She had pulled back a few steps but felt one of the boards creaked loudly and looking down to where she was standing. Underneath her feet hidden beneath and saw the silver that was the metal briefcase that was right there. The same case that carried vital information on the 'Invisible soldier' program.
All their former notes and even the last few drops of the formula which gave testament to what they went through and which she wished to never lay eyes on again.
She thought it was too great a risk to have it lying around and after what Sebastian had gone through knew should've been destroyed the moment they manage to reverse the process.
Yet seeing how this had been his life's work and all those years of ongoing research would be force down the drain….
They knew they couldn't chance it falling into the wrong hands and decided on the next best thing was to keep it hidden where no one would dare to come across it. Burying it out into the woods was a no as it could be found given that an animal or something could uncover it so having it in a place where they knew it would be safe was the alternative. The basement and attic being of the other two options until Sebastian noted the loose floorboard and seeing could fit the case down there and easily hide from plain sight.
It sounded very logical to her and so far she had been the only one to stumble on it. Thankfully none of the children had yet to dare come up here but when they got older, there was no telling what might happen if they did and being curious as to what it contained or even dare to try the serum…
No that she would definitely not allow, no sir not on her watch. She went ahead and moved a few items around, setting the large trunk over the spot with some other junk on top and seeing that it was truly cover up with no one knowing what was underneath it. She wiped her hands to remove the grime and dirt off while thinking, "There that's better."
With her work done and feeling a tad thirsty after that, she took her leave, knowing it would stay hidden for the meantime and that there was no way to open it unless they had the lock combination to pry it free.
Yet it took two actually and one being an actually thumbprint from both Sebastian and herself but people always found means to pry stuff open so it was to be better safe than sorry.
She had made her way towards the kitchen, pouring herself a tall glass of iced tea and grab a bowl with some apple slices while drizzling them with a little bit of caramel just to give them that extra flavor.
Hey, just because her doctor said to be easy on the sweet in her condition and while her husband was also persistent in that category, didn't mean she couldn't have a small snack to bid her over until dinnertime. After all what he doesn't know won't hurt him, just be 'our' little secret.
She went to sit outside, taking a seat on the porch swing while enjoying the peace and comfort that was right before her as she nibbled on the delicious delicacies in her lap and rocking gently back and forth.
It was hard to believe that this would be where she finds herself in ten years. Who would've guess this is where it would lead her to this wonderful life she had now.
She was looking down to her right hand, seeing the two gorgeous rings that were set on her finger. The rose gold band holding the eighteen karat diamond that shine beautifully in the faint lighting while the other was pure gold with intricate designs on the edge in the shape of ivy with tiny diamonds and sapphires lining it all around. The inside was engraved her husband's name just like the one he wore with hers on his.
She smiled and thought how much her life had changed once they left Washington and made their way here.
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
It had been almost a few weeks since she came down to her family cabin up in Vermont with Sebastian already waiting for here and were working around the clock to reverse his situation. They had no problems with anyone snooping as the area was well secluded and were keeping a well low profile in case the government suspect something with her story.
But she made sure to have not let anything give herself away and with the bodies completely incinerated during the explosion and would be even impossible to have dental records pinpoint on who's who other than how many there were and one lone survivor.
Sebastian hadn't want there to be any chances and though she did feel sorry for Ed as he had been a sweet guy though kinda too nosey for her liking. Still he was a risk hazard to them and Sebastian didn't want there to be any slip up. He took on removing all possible identifications like their teeth and their fingertips so it wouldn't make things easy for the gov to figure who they were. She had helped to see that he was given a safe place to crash, packing some things that she figured he might need and that if he had any problems, would wire him some cash and hopefully would be taken care of while she deal with the feds.
He was pleased by the location itself, finding was pretty isolated with no neighbors around and having hundreds of acre of trees hiding them from plain sight. He could go out into the woods and no one would even know he was out there.
It was absolutely perfect and seeing they could work in relative peace without anyone coming up to bother them and the nearest town was half hour drive away. It hadn't been an easy thing to do, saying their goodbyes but Joey promise to come when things had died down, knowing the government would be onto them within seconds if they knew what they did.
They had worked on acquiring everything they needed and making sure that all of it was ready and set when they had it all together. It took some time tracking down and trying to acquire some of the most basic equipment and having to order the chemicals online wasn't cheap since she wanted them here right away and see they got everything down to the last drop.
She was fortunate that she managed to get the essentials, though not as top notch like the one the government paid for but at least was in working condition and better than using some cheap knock off. They were taking such a high risk with his life on the line and hoping that it would be fine when it was time.
They took on shifts every single day for the past month, working from morning to late in the evening, although Joey had to drag Sebastian away to get him to eat/sleep while waiting on the chemicals to balanced out and seeing them settled as this was a delicate process. A lot was on the line and knowing that they had one shot to get it right and Sebastian back to his normal cocky self.
Joey was going over her own notes and seeing that it should work as they done the calculations more than once and seeing how accurate it was and could definitely be their big break in this. She wanted to believe that but still had her worries and for good reason. It was difficult not to let her growing concern on the matter show as it was written on her face when she look to Sebastian and couldn't help wondering what would they do if things didn't go as planned. The formula was about finished going through the processure and Sebastian figured they could do it sometime tomorrow once it was cooled down and ready for him. She was torn between being overjoy, relief but also being fearful all together seeing that they were close to their goal. She was happy to see that the serum would be ready for injection but her fears were for a reasonable purpose as the what ifs came to play inside her head. What if it didn't work, what if it was all for naught, what if she didn't manage to—
Sebastian had taken a good look at her, seeing the look in her eyes and obviously guessing what she must've been thinking about. Not that he could blame her for having such doubts but she shouldn't be letting it get to her even though this might be his only chance to return to normal. But not wanting her to stay like this and going over to comfort her by putting his arms around her while saying she shouldn't fret about it, that it would go as planned without a hitch.
She felt his warm invisible lips touch her brow and imagining him staring at her solemnly and heard him speak to her in a soft soothing tone. "I'm not going to leave you, Joanna that's a promise I intend to keep."
It did help some but was still not fully convinced so he did the next best thing and had her thoughts onto something otherwise more pleasant for them to look onto. Since they didn't have until tomorrow, Sebastian thought they deserve to have one more intimate moment together before the big day. It was easy to get her in the mood and had no trouble getting her mind off everything else once his hands started caressing her in certain places and his lips finding the spots that made her quiver with need. He tend to her every whim, giving her what she wanted as she deserve this for putting up with all this and Sebastian listening to her voice and thought it was the most beautiful thing he ever heard. They took it slow, making it very pleasurable and intimate for them as their bodies meld together like that first time and seem to set their souls ablaze with the passion burning between them.
They came as one, Joey arch up against him, her breasts against his and seeming like she was floating in mid air as he held her like this before lying her back down and feeling like she was on top of a cloud. When they had finished and were lying together with their arms wrapped around each other, did she hear him utter those three small words softly in her ear: "I love you Joanna…'
It took every ounce not to start crying while she buried her face into his invisible chest and saying the exact same thing for him to hear yet he already knew. If tomorrow were to be his last day, then at least he would leave her something to remember him by and he would know her heart only belong to him.
When morning finally arrive and Joey knowing it they couldn't put it off any further as it was time. They got everything ready and had him lying perfectly still on the slab with the leather straps holding him in place. She had try to make him as much comfortable without worrying of him inflicting damage on himself during the procedure. She had the pillow propped up behind his head and a sheet to cover himself.
She kept checking to make sure everything was stable, not wanting anything to go wrong while she got the reversion and ready to eject into him. She had to make absolute certain nothing would go off. Sebastian had told her he trusted her and he believed he would pull through as he had her by his side.
She smiled and hearing him be so confident while she took to find his vein and then as she gave him one last kiss before injecting the serum into his body. She watched as it was going through his bloodstream, seeing it circulating through to get at every particle while outlining his veins for her to see.
She thought it was going good so far as his vital organs were no longer transparent and nearing the halfway mark with them reversing it. They were well on there way, but then that's when they hit a snag and everything went downhill.
She heard the noise from the monitors as they went insane, showing that his heart rate was sky rocketing, his pulse was eradicating beyond the normal setting. He was struggling against his bindings, the pain being unbearable and though hoping that this would not turn out like last time but still watching him like this was pure torture for the both of them .
But even though it was like watching a train wreck coming on impact within the given seconds, she at least had to try and help him. She had to go and stabilize him and hurried to grab one of the syringe that were already set out in case something like this happened.
"Sebastian listen to me, everything will be all right, you hear me, I'm here and I'm not leaving you!" She kept saying this over and over after she inject the drug into his system, wanting him to know that she was not letting him go without a fight. She could heard the rapid beeping was slowing down, far too quickly than she would have like and Joey immediately realize that she was losing him. When his breathing came to a sudden halt within that second, she wasted no time as she hurried to revive him.
She got the defibrillator out, making sure that it was fully charge before pressing down and giving it a jolt. Nothing, she tried once more. Frustrated, she tossed the pads before manually pressing down on his chest, trying to get his heart to jumpstart itself and holding his nose while she blew air into his lung then trying again. She was waiting for him to come around, she tried again, she was pumping up and down before putting her mouth over his, breathing air in through his mouth.
Nononono, he can't die! You promised Sebastian! She was putting more pressure, almost certain she'd be leaving a bruise there or even close to cracking his ribs but she was far from caring as she would keep at it, even slap him just to stop lying there like there. She was checking to see his pulse but not getting anything from him.
"C'mon, c'mon don't you dare die on me!" She did this three times before she stopped and realize it was too late. Oh god, she had lost him just like Gabe and now he was gone.
She draped herself over his half visible form, sobbing loudly as she struggled with the growing reality that had came crashing down on her. She should've known better, should've double check and now because of her, Sebastian was gone.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't want this to happen…" She had lean forward and went to brush her lips over his one last time. At first she thought it was her imagining things when her mouth made contact and felt the faint electrical currents circulating and then taking a step back to see his chest was moving as he breath in, slowly but steadily as he did. She heard the EGC monitors were showing his vitals were also on the recovery.
Everything was stabilizing themselves and then within a few seconds watch the transgression as a form began to emerge before her very eyes. She saw the milky white ivory bones, all two hundred and six of them, as they appear and outline the skeleton along with the red mass of muscles and tendons began to crawl over them like coiling snakes and creating that familiar body she was so intimate with these past few months.
She watched as it was being blanketed over by skin going from top to bottom, covering every square inch of him while his facial features were being eroded by all that hair that sprouted out in a matter of seconds. She thought he look like a moderate lovechild of a caveman and a hippy and was in desperate need of a shave and a haircut.
Yet she could care less about that once she saw that the process was near finish and wasn't long before she had a visible Sebastian lying on that slab in front of her. She waited for him to stir, watching his eyelids struggling to open themselves and see how he react.
When they finally did, blinking a couple times and squinting as he adjusted to the faint lighting in the room while looking around his surroundings. When she found those wonderful blue orbs looking at her and speaking in that strain voice as his vocal still hoarse from earlier.
"Either I'm dreaming or this is Heaven because there's an angel I see right in front of me that looks so much like my Joanna." She went over toward his side, immediately undoing the bindings and saw Sebastian reach out with one hand to touch her. She felt his fingers stroking her face gently to wipe her tears and grinning weakly when she went to put hers over his, feeling the warmth of his callous palm against her skin. She never thought she feel so happy to see him…alive and visible!
Joey couldn't help as she reached to stroke his face before bending down to press her lips gingerly over his forehead and whisper softly, "You're not dreaming Sebastian, you're right here with me...welcome home my love."
She felt time could've came to a standing halt as they remain like this and for what it's worth she would have let it as long as she had her Sebastian right there before her eyes, that's all that really matter to her…
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
Joey came out of her reminiscing as she set the empty bowl to the side and lean back. It seem almost like a dream to think all this had happened but considering what they've been through and knew it had been all too real as she witness the whole thing. It took some time for Sebastian to fully recover as the serum had really done a number on him and also Joey wanted to make sure he was a hundred percent all right.
There was no telling what side effect there might be and Sebastian knew that though like to complain that he wasn't invalid but Joey wouldn't hear a word of this. She just wanted to make double sure he wouldn't be disappearing on her and didn't mind staying by his side nursing him back to health. He had been on bed rest for a few days with her monitoring his vitals and taking a few samples to check to see how they appear and saw no signs of any changes to them.
Three days after their successful reversion of the serum and Sebastian had recuperated enough strength so he could stand outside in the sunlight without being totally blind by it. She remembered him standing on the open veranda, hand up over his face and grinning like a loon when she joined him.
It seem what with them no longer being on the government's radar and everyone believing Sebastian was dead among the others and if they were to ever find out, there was very doubt what would happen and have the book thrown at the both of them. That had been remedy as they work on getting him a completely new identity, changing what was Sebastian Caine to Sebastian Kane.
It cost a pretty penny to get them but was all worth it in the end. They got his birth, social security, medical, every thing he needed to be consider a different man and Sebastian honestly said that coming out from his transparent state, he felt like he had been reborn again.
She had laughed along with him and said, 'No matter what, you are and always will be my Sebastian, my Hollow Man…'
The cabin became their private sanctuary and of course still made to come back every now and then during the holiday season when they weren't too busy with their social lives. So many fond memories were made here and though they had both missed their previous occupation and promising careers, they found it was much easier on them and didn't mind living a quiet peaceful life outside the hustle and bustle that they had been use to for so long.
Though of course they did find work that both suited their needs and kept them busy on a daily basis. Finding something that wasn't overly demanding or stressing as they had no need for such what with the money Joey receive but want to keep preoccupied with their time.
Sebastian even found something to do, working on scientific theories and decided to do a website posting articles online for people to take a look at. Though he might never get it publish unless it was under the pseudonym, Griffin Norwood but at least had something to keep him well occupied and finding he can be quite creative of his own design and also wrote his own thesis which many agree upon.
He even decided on writing a novel based on his experience of being invisible, purely fictional of course and seeing that it had very little distinction to what they gone through and also saw that it didn't mention either of them. He had send it to a publishing company which got it print and so far had been given very positive reviews.
She walked back inside and heard the clock in the living room chime loudly bringing her back to the present. When she took notice of the time and seeing it was six thirty and knowing they should be here pretty soon as they told her they would be back by seven.
She thought she best get started on dinner and heading for the kitchen that overlook the lake and seeing how beautiful it was right now with the sun setting and painting the sky a nice orange-red.
Joey had set the pot on the stove and letting it boil the water while she went to grab the vegetables out of the fridge. She had the sauce on when she heard the door open with the sound of rubber sneakers running through the hall heading straight towards her.
"Mummy mummy!" She turned and saw a small boy with sandy brown hair and wearing a baseball cap that flew off as he rushed in and threw his tiny arms around her. Joey had bend down to hug him and giving him a quick peck on the forehead, "Hey sweetie how was your day with daddy and J.J."
The boy's blue eyes were shining bright as he went to relate everything that they did while at the park this whole time. Joey heard the sound of the car door being lock and then them entering through the foyer while Gabe finished, "…And then there was this huge frog just sitting by the edge of the pond and it was really big too! Like this!"
He held out his hands in pure exaggeration but Joey didn't mind seeing how hyped up he was telling her. "Wow he really does sound like a big fella." Gabe nodded, "I would've shown ya if I had caught it too."
"I don't know about that bud, I think your mother wouldn't like having frogs brought in here and make a mess in mommy's nice clean kitchen and we don't want that do we? Bac knows that's too, isn't that right fella?"
Joey lift her head to see her husband standing in the doorway with a warm smile on his face while holding the little girl who was clinging to her daddy and their miniature Australian Shepard standing right beside him.
Their daughter, J.J., named after her by her husband's insistent of it and seeing how much she looked remarkably like her at that age. Her dark blond hair which was done up in pigtails were slightly ruffled and her knees covered in dirt as were her tiny sneakers, her cheeks a little fluster but saw she looked like she had a good time herself, judging by the way her eyes seem to shine as they did. She saw Bac coming over to greet her, rushing up to run circles around her and couldn't help chuckling at it's cute antic before reaching to scratch him behind the ears.
Joanna couldn't help but take in the sight that was before her, watching the love of her life set down their little darling before turning his attention towards her and giving her that smirk that made her inside melt just by seeing it. He had definitely changed from the man he once was though still had one or two quirks that he couldn't shake off and Joey didn't seem to mind as much.
Being out here had certainly done wonders for Sebastian and Joey thought it made a great impact on him both physically and mentally. It took a little persuasion to have him even consider doing what she was asking but it worked out in the end.
He certainly hadn't mind when she was able to get him to come on those morning walks or having a nice swim out in the lake when it was just the two of them, and she could be quite persuasive when she wanted to be.
Within the following months, he managed to acquire a nice tan and some lean muscles around his arms and abdomen but still kept his slender frame which was fine by her. His somber blue eyes were watching them and could easily tell what he was thinking.
"Gabe sweetie why don't you go wash up and take your sister with you, then you two can help mommy set the table okay?" He did as he was told, grabbing J.J.'s tiny hand and heading for the bathroom, the dog following them while leaving the two adults alone for the moment. She went to pull the cutting board from the drying rack and grabbing one of the ripe tomato and set about dicing it into tiny pieces before adding to the bubbling sauce.
"So I take it you had a lot of fun today. Must've worked up quite an appetite. Don't worry the food should be ready momentarily." Sebastian was leaning against the doorframe, watching Joanna add the oregano and other spices and stirred it a few times.
She was sure that it was done and went to dip a finger in it to taste how it was. But before she could even sample her own cuisine, Sebastian had already made his way over and had a hold of her hand and was licking the digit clean.
"Mmm, that taste so good, almost as good as something else that I like to have a go for later." He whispered this in her ear before he was moving to where her throat was and laying kisses all over it. He had forgot to shave that morning, though had been intentional on his part for good reason. She had once comment that it made him look devilishly handsome with that rugged look going for him and gotten a bit frisky a few nights ago. So sometimes he skipped a shave because of how turn on his Joanna got when in the mood.
He moved to lay his cheek against her, the stubble that were on his chin making her ticklish and feeling his hands were practically pawing at her, going down and reaching under her skirt.
"Whoa down boy! Gabriel and J.J. could come in here at any minute!" She heard him chuckle before he pulled back, not minding she stop him before he could get the chance, "Sorry but it can't be help that I find you so irresistible. It almost makes me want to skip dinner and just head straight for dessert."
Joey couldn't help shaking her head before turning to her husband, "Be as it may, I don't think it would be leading a good example if we were to do so in our own kitchen and have our children walk in on us in the process."
She wasn't going to deny that they were quite affectionate for one another and have done it a few times in certain areas of the house. Sebastian, once he reverted to his visible self, wanted to do what he had called their 'christening the domain' as not one room had been left untouched and had sex on or against wherever possible.
He certainly didn't hold back on the enthusiasm and not that she blamed him for he was a very passionate lover when it came to this vigorous activity they both enjoy together. They learned to be careful in keeping the noise level at a minimum and having the door lock at all times. They didn't want to risk the kids coming in while mommy and daddy were dancing under the sheets naked like that one time when Gabe was five and they had forgot to lock the door in their rush.
When she saw him make that cute scowl she then leaned forward to press her lips against his and then whispered huskily, "But the bathroom is another matter altogether and I'm sure you worked up quite a sweat that I won't mind giving you a good scrub down to get you all nice and clean."
That seem to do the trick as she saw the light spark in his eyes and having that wicked grin on his face. He knew she was right as it made more sense to be behind a door with locks while the kitchen itself was open to anyone to come in or out.
He didn't think Gabriel or their little J.J. was ready to know what their mommy and daddy like to do and wouldn't be given the talk until much later when they were a bit older. Or maybe leave that to the Sex Ed teacher in high school.
Joey smiled as she leaned into Sebastian's chest and enjoying the feel of him. She loved when he would wrap his arms in a possessive manner and having his hands lie on top her expanding waistline since her belly was now pushing the front of her dress.
His palms were rubbing small circles around it, feeling the life that was growing inside her. Just a couple more months she thought and have yet to decide what color for the baby's room but already had the furniture order and ready to be put in. They still had some of Gabriel's and J.J. old stuff but figure might go for something different and having a few ideas of what kind they should put in there before the baby arrive. They hadn't been planning to have another but finding they didn't mind having one more added to their small broad.
Joanna had her hand resting over his as she said, "I wish I could've join you guys but they have been keeping me up through the night again and didn't get much sleep like I wanted."
She was used to the whole pregnancy ordeal and being close to eighteen weeks and still had some ways to go until they came into the picture. This one however was a lot more active than her first two now that its' motor skill were coming into play and having her go to the bathroom almost like clockwork as it like using her bladder as a trampoline.
Even now the baby was stirring once they sense Sebastian's familiar touch and wanting to greet their father by swiftly kicking against the wall of her abdomen in a rapid flurry. Joey had to suppress the groan as she look to Sebastian who also felt that as well. "Seem like someone wants to say hello to you papa."
Sebastian chuckle before he went to start giving them some attention to so they didn't feel left out. She was turned around and felt him bending down close to her stomach. Somehow she felt the little one love listening to the sound of his voice and always seem to mellow out after Daddy had a good talking to them.
He had no problem with it as he didn't mind letting them know he was there and speaking in a calm soothing tone, "Now kiddo you know we don't like keeping mommy up all night. It makes her very cranky and we don't want that now do we? So do daddy a huge favor and let her rest more, okay sweetie."
Joey try not to roll her eyes finding the baby seem to be more reasonable when it came to listening to their father and wonder if this one would be a daddy's girl like J.J. They haven't really determined the sex yet but had another ultrasound in two weeks which would help solve their little dilemma on what color gender they should go with.
Though she wouldn't mind if the baby turned out to be another girl and sure Sebastian would be over the moon to have another adorable sweetie that was just like his wife. J.J. already had her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger and could only imagine what he'd do once boys came into the picture.
She knew whether it be another boy or girl, he would love them all the same as fatherhood had certainly done wonders for him. Sebastian was lending her a hand while asking what she had been up to for the last couple hours while the boys were out having their father-son moment.
"Not much really…" She was busy putting the pasta in once it was boiling to a right temperature. "Well beside taking a nap and a nice sit outside on the porch, I was putting some stuff up in the attic and just sorting through them before getting started on dinner when you guys came home."
She saw the look Sebastian was giving her and trying her best to keep from laughing. "Don't worry I got that covered, can't be too careful especially with these little rascals but I'm sure that no one would find it."
Sebastian nodded and gave her a reassuring smile. "Yeah well can't be help now can it? Those kids will be sure to cause more mayhem once they reach their teens, especially our girls. Remind me to see on getting a shotgun or a baseball bat later…"
Joey couldn't help shaking her head while saying, "Sebastian really, she's only seven, there's no need to go overboard on that just yet. And beside I doubt they would have found out or even figure out where it even come from. No one knows the real truth other than us and those in DC but it's nothing to fret now is it?"
That was true, they had managed to get away with it while the government manage to sweep it all under the rug, coming up with some bogus story that an irregular gas line breaking underneath and had ignited the building, burning the whole place to the ground. With the bodies pretty much cremated and no names being mention, the military simply did a good enough job with keeping to that and no one was the wiser.
Sebastian was amused by how this turn out for them, all for the best. They had moved on with their lives and when they met the folks around town, they were the Kanes, a young couple that were enjoying themselves and had no reason to be suspected of anything unusual. Yeah it had been something all right.
Then when it had been nearly a full year since they came to settle out here that Joey found something that would be life changing for the both of them. Oh they remember how well that was...
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
Joey had been unsure whether she was looking at this wrong or not the moment she found she was late. She usually kept a good count on when she was supposed to start and when it ends. The only time she had irregulars was when she got overwhelm and would be out of whack before the cramps finally kicked in and everything was back to normal.
Course the last few weeks, she and Sebastian had been going at it like two horny animals in heat, enjoying each other's company and hadn't thought much of using protection within those moments yet she still had her birth control on hand. But then like all prescription for anti-conception, there was a five percent chance and realized how tired she got even when she went to bed early and then last week got sick by vomiting at 3 o'clock in the morning.
At first, she assumed she had caught a stomach virus but then when she took notice to the other changes her body was going through and coming to one startling conclusion. It was easy to put the math together but she also decided to play it safe and getting a kit to see whether she was right or not.
It took a minute for the result but it seem like forever with the seconds ticking slowly and finding herself anxious to know what it would show. When the timer rang, she saw the little plus sign and reading the contents on the box that clearly state it was positive she didn't know how to see this as.
She had no idea how she was going to bring herself to tell him and would he be okay with this. They hadn't broach the subject within the time they've been together. She was trying to wrap her head around it and thinking how to break it to Sebastian. She had her hands resting over the flat plane of her stomach and hoped he wouldn't take it as bad.
When Sebastian came home that later afternoon, she already had a plan figured out as they had a brisk walk around the woods before going back to the lake for a swim together which last almost the entire day.
By sundown, they had an early dinner out on the veranda and watching the colors changing in the sky and then when it was dark enough lighted up with all the constellations align in their position. When dessert was finish and were relaxing on the deck with a blanket wrapped around them, Joey decided that now was her chance.
"Sebastian there's something you need to know and I think you'll be very much in for a surprise." Sebastian couldn't help smirking as he kinda had an inkling of what it was, "Oh I thought we were going to save that for upstairs, unless you were hoping we could do it out here which I don't mind."
While she rather enjoyed his open enthusiasm, she was practically shaking even though she kept her voice level, "No but just promise that you won't freak out when I tell you." She had it set inside a small plain box and holding it out for him to take, "Go on open it."
Sebastian not sure what this was about but seeing that she looked like she really wanted him to do this and figure what the hey. "Really Joey I don't see what got you so worked up, honestly it's just—" He lift the top off and stared at the contents that were inside. It took him a few seconds before turning his gaze on her, disbelief showing on his face yet hearing him utter in a confuse tone, "Joanna, is, is this what I think it is?"
She dared not look into his eyes as she nodded slowly as she was definitely sure. "I checked and I'm pretty sure I'm about three weeks along, give or take though I haven't gone to see a doctor yet. But I just couldn't bear to keep this from you."
Joey gauge his reaction, wondering how he would take this unexpected bombshell. At first he didn't say anything, simply looked at her and then down to where her hand was. It took him a few seconds for those words to process inside his head, hearing them play over and over like a broken record.
A baby, they were going to have a baby, he was going to be a father! He felt torn on how to react, thinking how the previous Sebastian would have been utterly terrified at that sudden notion of him being a dad, he still was! Hell he never thought of having kids, considering he assume no way he wanted any snot nosed brats as they would've cramp his style! He couldn't really stand them or figure how anyone in their right mind would want to deal with them constantly.
Linda never made any mention of wanting some in their past relationship and in their short time together, they never thought to go and talk about it. He wasn't pointing fingers and it wasn't really Joanna's fault, it took two to tango or in this case make a baby. But was he ready for that kind of commitment, could he handle such a huge responsibility?
Looking at her, he could see she was also scared of the very idea but having her hands wrapped protectively over her stomach as they were. They had gone through a rough ordeal with him during his situation and now had a new issue presented to them with her current condition.
He doubt she wanted to give it up, even if it was totally by accident and wouldn't force her to as it was her call really. It was a tough pill to swallow but then thinking that even with all they've been through, he didn't really think it was the worst.
Sure he might not know how to raise a child but then thinking Joanna might actually be a good mother, any kid would be lucky to have her as theirs the way she took care of him and seen how she react to some of the kids in town.
Would it be so terrible to actually have one…He could already envision her stomach growing out with a small life inside her, a child they had created together and then seeing that small infant in her arms, either a boy or girl, having them coo up at him and waving tiny arms at him…
He lifted his gaze towards her, seeing the concern written on her face and finding himself unable to hold back his own emotion any longer. He pulled her towards him and holding onto her tightly while telling her if she's willing then he would be there for her. They had cling to one another, feeling the tears flow freely as they let their fears wash away given way to new hope and for the first time in his life, happiness of a special kind.
The next few months went by with relative ease with little to mild complications, well maybe not so much as this was a new thing for the two scientist. Sebastian took to making sure her pregnancy went as smoothly as possible as he looked into any reference that dealt into this sort of thing. There were so much that had to be done and by Mid-March it was finally time for their baby to make its' arrival.
Sebastian had try to be calm but on the inside he was totally panicking even as he drove Joanna to the hospital, practically breaking the speed limit to get there. He remembered feeling his hand practically breaking under Joey's grip, her cursing and swearing to cut him down there for putting her in this position. He knew it had been the hormones talking and Joey trying to focus with the contractions hitting her and knowing when to at least push.
He really wished they had given her the epidural even though Joey thought it was okay and didn't want to be drugged up when the baby came. He still thought she should've gone with it especially when she was busy trying to crush his bones into dust. If they dared try to have another kid (which would happen eventually sometime later in their lives) he would ask her to at least take the drugs for all their sakes!
It took almost six hours and swore she was cutting the circulation in his hand when they heard the sound of a small squirming infant wailing loudly as it made its' way out of it's mother's comforting womb and into the doctor's waiting hands.
The doctor examined the baby before looking to the couple, "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Kane, it's a boy." That was what Sebastian heard and turning to Joey and kissing her on the mouth and pressing his forehead against hers, "A boy, we have a son…"
Not long after they cut the umbilical cord and the nurse finished examining him and jotting down the information to be place on his birth certificate. She later returned with a clean and swabbed newborn that was pass onto Sebastian who was being mindful as he cradled him close to his chest.
He was in awe by this tiny thing, this little baby who was squirming and looking at him with half shut eyes. He noticed how much he took after him but had some of his mother's features like her nose and chin though the thin fuzz on his head seem a shade darker than hers.
It took a while to see what color his eyes were but found to be the same shade of blue as his though that could change but had a feeling they would stay that exact hue. He was so busy staring into those mesmerizing orbs before noticing the baby was getting fussy and realize he must be hungry.
He handed their son over to Joanna as she adjusted the hospital gown to have one breast free. He watched as she guided their child towards it, his tiny mouth latching onto the nipple and suckling on it while the two parents couldn't help smiling at the sight of it…
~oooOYOHOHOooo~
Sebastian came back to the present as he looked to his wife and seeing her have that same glow as she did with their first child. She always seem to have that radiance when he was around her and thought he was the luckiest guy in the world having her with him. He would give her a dozen children if she were to ask him knowing he would love every one of them as they carried an essence of his wife as well as some of him.
Never had he felt such overwhelming emotions until after getting the chance to hold their little Gabe and then their daughter two years after and won't be long before he got that feeling again. Being a dad was certainly amazing but being married to her was a godsend. He was thinking to how before she came into his life, he had thought he had everything figured for himself and didn't considered how hollow it was until Joey waltz in and just made it so much better.
She had been there for him when he like a fool jump headfirst into untested waters and she was the only one willing to swim into those murky depths to pull him right out.
She saved him from a meaningless existences and given him so much in return for being there for him.
Now that emptiness was gone and his heart was fill to capacity but still had room for one more when their baby arrived and was all thanks to her, his Joanna, his Joey girl.
"Yeah I suppose you're right." He lifted her hand and giving it a small kiss before saying, "You always know just what to say." He smiled as they looked at each other before Sebastian took notice of the water ready to bubble over, "I'll get that, you just sit there and rest your feet while you let your man finished the cooking."
He stood up and kissing her forehead before heading to turn the heat down and making sure the pasta wasn't overcooked. Joey decided she wouldn't just let him do all the work and standing side by side when their children came down and helping set the silverware on the table. J.J. was the one to pass the napkins to him before Joanna help her take a seat in between her and her brother.
The four of them were sitting down to a nice relaxing meal, Gabe sometimes sneaking a little bit of food to Bac as he sat underneath them. Once dinner was finished and as Sebastian went to put the last of the dishes in the dishwasher while Joey got Gabe and J.J ready for bed. She made sure the kids had taken their bath and getting into their pjs. Then having them brush their teeth before tucking them in and saying her goodnight to the both of them.
She was heading down the hall towards their room and heard the water running as Sebastian was going to take a shower after the long day he had. She thought back to earlier and how she did say they could have their time when they were in there.
After all I did say we could and don't want to go back on my word. She found him standing bare chest and was about to undo his pants when she got in, "Hey there handsome, you got room for one more to join you."
Sebastian turn to her and grin as he how could he say no to her, "Of course, you should know that I could never resist having you work on scrubbing me down. But in exchange I'll do yours as well, fair is fair of course."
She smiled as that was all she needed to hear. She pushed the lock in place and went to join his side while reaching for the belt buckle and undoing it for him, "Good because I've been thinking just how dirty you are and that you are going to need a good cleaning, especially right down here."
She had her lips locking onto his while he reached behind to pull the zipper down and having the dress slide right off and helping her get out of her other clothes. Her bra and panties joining his jeans and underwear as they fell to the floor in a heap.
Once they were stripped of all their outer garments and Sebastian letting her enter the stall first before he came in and shutting the pane glass behind. He saw she was eagerly waiting for him with the shower gel and getting it lather up in her hand. Sebastian then took the bottle from her and doing the same himself while the warm water was coming down on them and drenching them completely in the progress. She was standing right in front of him with her body glistening as water drizzling from her now slicked hair over her protruding stomach and down her legs.
She looked at him with those honey brown eyes he adored staring into while her supple hands reach out and went to work their magic on him. He felt those soapy digits moving with slow ease up and down his chest, leaving a trail of lathered sud in their wake, her fingers practically dancing over his taunt stomach as they kept going further south where she found him already hardening in her wet grasp and proceed to get him nice and clean like she promised.
He had a hard time suppressing the groan that was aching to escape from him yet Sebastian let her, while he had his hands over her now slick skin, rubbing the soap down her whole body while having them linger over her robust stomach. They continue to do this until Sebastian had her turn around and looking towards the wall, wanting her to be in a more suitable position. He had her grasp onto the rail so she wouldn't slip and hurt herself while he align his fully harden cock at her wet opening and rammed it in, pressing himself against her under the warm spray.
Joey tilt her head back and cried out each time he thrust himself from behind and meeting it with equal force, loving the sensation that was being given to her, having him pounding in and out, slowly but fiercely while the water was dripping down their flush bodies as they let their primal urges give way to their needs.
They knew that they still had some time before they had to put this to a halt. Joey didn't have any issues with her outward appearance as Sebastian said time and again that she looked beautiful and love to show it in his special way by giving her exactly what she wanted. Being overly hormonal can be almost a blessing in disguise whenever Sebastian went to sate her urges and she didn't mind helping him get off as it was a win-win for the both of them. It was something that they took great pleasure for one another and Joey could never get enough of him.
She could feel her inside quivering, the walls tightening their hold onto him before they squeeze themselves around his cock and milking him hard. Sebastian came with a sudden rush, clinging onto her as he let himself go and spurting every drop into her. They turn the water to a cooler temp as they rinse off and by the time they got out, the bathroom had a light film of steam when they both exit the stall, feeling clean and very much satisfied.
They found Bac already waiting for them outside the room and standing up when Sebastian came over towards him. He gave the dog a quick pat on the head before walking to the dresser to pick out his clothes and Joanna sitting by the vanity combing her still wet hair.
She was busy rubbing lotion onto her skin, mostly around her stomach where the stretchmarks were when the dog came over and lied his head on her knees, asking for her attention. Joanna didn't mind when he did that, finding it very sweet of him to do so. He had been such a precious little thing that Sebastian had got for them when Gabe was only two and J.J. ten months old and was celebrating her first as a family together on Christmas Eve. Her husband had definitely surprised them when he came to bring the medium size present that was shaking slightly right as he set it down in front of their son and they as a team tore the wrapping off before they saw what was inside.
The puppy had been so adorable with it's tricolor russet fur and those soulful baby blue eyes that practically made her awed the moment she saw him with a red bow and small nametag right there for everyone to see what his name was. She had loved the little darling though found the name had been questionable as really of all the things that he could come with, it had to be base on a meat product. Sebastian sheepishly explain it hadn't been his doing, that the breeder sort of misspelled it on the papers and well what's done was done.
But at least it wasn't so bad she thought as Bac was an absolute sweetheart and love to be around the kids growing up. Yet when it came for bed, he would slip into his master's room and go take his place right there beside them.
Joey had slipped into her nightgown while Sebastian pulled up some sweatpants and an old tee shirt as she crawled into bed with him, the dog hopping up to join them before taking his normal place at their feet.
Once they were lying together in each others arms, Joey looking to her husband's face, seeing his blue eyes gazing into hers with such emotion and couldn't help smiling before she nuzzled in his warm embrace and fell right to sleep with little hesitation.
Sebastian wasn't ready to call it a night just yet as he laid there wide awake, letting his thoughts wander for the moment in the darken room. It was a rare occurrence to him and sometimes having him think about the past and couldn't help pondering about a few things, the big what ifs that pop up in his head, the ones that he questioned himself if things had gone differently for them. These thoughts that consist of seeing things that brought chills down his spine.
There had been a few nightmares right after he was revert back to normal, ones that were beyond horrifying to describe and had him screaming in the middle of the night and waking up in a cold sweat. The dreams so utterly vivid and seem so real that he almost thought that it had occurred until he saw Joanna right beside him, trying to calm him down.
He couldn't remember much of what they were yet he chose not to dwell on them long as they didn't matter to him anymore once she was there to comfort him. Eventually they manage to fade over time until they disappear and no longer had to fear about going to sleep to see those in his head again, not as long as she was there to keep the night terrors away.
He was very grateful for having her there and would always would consider her the best damn thing that walk into his life up until the day he dies. He knew what he did would lie heavily with him for the rest of his day and take this to his grave so no one would know the secret of the hell they've been through, especially for the likes of him.
Sometime thing didn't go exactly as one plan yet thought it wasn't as bad and found were perfectly happy with what they had. Life was hardly perfect, it was far from it honestly, but for them it was enough to get by and forgoing their past to move forward and not let it get in their way as they look to a brighter future for themselves.
Sebastian took to stare once more at his wife, reveling in her peaceful tranquil state, hearing her soft snores and seeing how serene she appeared right there. He moved with gentle ease to kiss the top of her forehead and then letting his arms cradle around her as much as he could.
Even with her protruding girth getting in the way and making it hard to hold her close yet finding it comforting being up against their unborn child as they were like this, feeling the moving life of the growing fetus inside as they laid face to face with it in the very middle of them. Even right then, he felt it brush up against the walls of its' own mother's stomach, touching his abdomen as it kicked out in its sleep.
He couldn't stop the grin that appear as he moved his hand to lie over where he sense that, feeling the small kicks come to an eventually rest and knowing that there weren't going to be any more until later in the wee early morning. Boy or girl, it didn't matter to him but he had a feeling this one would have a headstrong stubbornness like both their parents and would use that to get ahead in life and whatever obstacles got in their way.
He was very much content with how everything turned out in the end and that was all that truly matter to him as he went to close his eyes and let sleep took over with no more thoughts of anything else other than her and his family and that was all he truly needed.
