"I'd like that," Andy said softly. Riley was asleep, and didn't wake up when Nathaniel picked him up. She followed her boyfriend inside and went straight to the master bathroom to start running her bath. Once that was running, she went into the bedroom to undress.

Nathaniel entered the bedroom after he put his son into his sleep. He smiled as he looked at her. "Hm..." He said and stepped behind her. "You look so..." He shrugged and helped her undress. He kissed her neck and wrapped an arm around her waist. He then moved to kiss her shoulder. "So... how cramped up are you? Massage worthy? Because I could do that."

Andy jumped a little when her slid an arm around her waist from behind.

"I wouldn't mind a massage," she said. It was true that her back and shoulders felt tight, but really she just wantedan excuse to be close to him. "Come on, the bath is still running, I don't want it to overflow."

"It won't." He said and grabbed her hand, sensing out and shutting it off with her powers. "Now it's overflow is postponed." He turned her in his arms and grinned, kissing her gently. "It's nice to see you happy. I feel like the site keeps getting more and more rare..." He unbuttoned her jeans and slid her shirt all the way off of her. He smiled, kissing her collar bone gently. He then stood and turned, heading to the bathroom. "What are you waiting for, the water's going to get cold."

Andy bit her lip a bit when he said that she was seeming less and less happy.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to worry you," she said as she followed him to the bathroom. "Things have just been stressful lately... Having a child does that, I hear." She added the last part in an attempt to bring in a bit of humor. The thought crossed her mind that she wouldn't mind having a second child, but she didn't say it aloud. She would let things happen as they did.

"It's not Riley." He said and pulled her gently into the bathroom. "I'll give you that massage when you're out of the bath if you don't want me to join you..." He then slid a hand through her hair and snapped open her bra and held the straps to her shoulders, so they didn't fall. "You are stressed because you don't know what you want." He sat at the edge of the tub, turning the water back on and filling up the rest of the tub as he kissed her stomach. "So spill, what do you want?"

"I... don't know what I want," Andy admitted. "I wouldn't mind if you joined me in the bath, though... There's more than enough space." And she really wanted that massage, now... She knew she was tense, and it would help. She stripped off the last of her clothing and stepped into the warm water. It was the perfect temperature.

Nathaniel stripped happily. He slid in behind the girl and wrapped his arms around the woman for a moment. "You dont regret Riley, do you? I... I want to try again when you do, but we dont have to. I honestly would rather us be married before 'trying'. But this is NOT a proposal. Im more classy than that." He said then moved to start massaging her neck and back.

"I could never regret Riley," Andy replied at once, leaning back against him. "I regret that I was so unprepared for him, but I could never regret having him." She relaxed as he rubbed her shoulders and back. "I would rather us be married before we have any more children, as well, though we still have two more years before I'm completely done with school. I start graduate school in the fall, after all." She wanted to get all of her schooling done at once, so she didn't have to juggle her education with more than one child to look after.

"All right, I'll respect that. You have known that from the start." He said and kissed her neck, then squeezed gently on her back. "Mmm two years and you could be round as a watermelon all over again. I loved your pregnant belly." He said and grinned, pulling her body back against him. "I love you so much."

"I barely had a belly the last time you saw me pregnant," Andy pointed out. She leaned back against him, relaxing. "At least, the last time you saw me pregnant in person. I was huge by the time Riley was born." She ran her fingers across her belly softly. "I still have the stretch marks."

"I was learning actual seer work, I have seen you round, probably the next child and I loved it. You were gorgeous, you are now, but you are then too." The stretchmarks jusst showed him how much pain and love she had dealt with to bring the boy into the world. Each one was beautiful.

"You couldn't have possibly liked seeing me all round and out of shape like that," Andy protested, blushing a little. Even she hadn't liked seeing herself so swollen and round like that, and she was the one carrying the baby.

" I loved it. I loved seeing you attempt to walk also." He said and then bit his lip scooting a little further away from her out of physical contact of some anatomical parts. "You were gorgeous, and I cant wait to be there, to see it for real... So amazing..." He whispered.

"Yeah, well, you try having your joints loosen like that and see how well you can walk," Andy retorted half-heartedly. Concentrating a bit, she managed to get a wobbly, vaguely-balloon-shaped bubble of water to rise out of the bath. It was obvious that she was picturing a water balloon to get it to work. It rose slowly, and collapsed over Nathaniel's head. "That was for making fun of my pregnant waddling."

Nathaniel shuddered and then rose an eyebrow. "Two can play at that game!" He said and rose water in his hands and dropped iit on her head. Not as much of an effect but the kisses and nips he laid on her neck afterwards left small indents.

Andy reached up and rubbed the water out of her eyes, but didn't retaliate. She was too busy enjoying the little kisses and nibbles he was leaving on her neck.

"Mmm... if you keep that up, we might have another child sooner than expected," she murmured. Not that she would mind sex in the bath... they would just have to make sure not to get water everywhere.

"They make condoms you know." He said and grinned. Finally she was breaking out of that little shell he was so tired of seeing her in. He sucked on a spot as his hands slid over her abdomen and then down to her legs. "I wouldn't mind the child, but let's think about you for awhile. Right now... what do you want? And don't say I don't know." His kisses moved up her neck to kiss her earlobe.

"Mmm..." she murmured. "I think you know what I want." Using her phantom touch, she ran imaginary fingers over his skin. Turning a bit, she gave him a kiss.

"You have to turn all the way around for that." He said and picked up her hips as he felt that touch from no where. "Ohhh, you are waaay too good." He kissed her back and then moved to shift her entire body over his own and he grinned. "So what you want is this?" He kissed her collar bone, sliding his hand around her waist.

((I think mayhap we should move to the PMs soon... Yes, I realize this isn't a real post.))

[[I agree, go ahead and move]]

Andy leaned against Nathaniel, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I think we both needed that," she murmured. She was wonderfully relaxed, now, and she could tell he was too. The water was starting to get cold, though, so she reluctantly got up. "Come on, dry clothes sound good."

"Mmmmmhmmm." He muttered and grinned, slowly standing and kicking the drain back on and grabbed a towel and tried himself off. "Are you shocked your child has been insanely quiet this time? Must be really reaaaally asleep." He muttered and went to the door and peered into the room after he wrapped the towel around his waist. He was sure his girlfriend had seen teh amazing site multiple times but it was so new to him. "I love you Riley." He whispered.

"He had a long trip," Andy pointed out. "I'm not surprised he's tired. I'm sure he'll be awake soon enough, letting us know he's hungry." She wrapped a towel around herself, as well, and checked on Riley before going into the bedroom. It didn't take her long to dig out her favorite set of pajamas, and she was glad that they were freshly clean. She slid into them with a pleased sigh.
