Margaret stood in her kitchen washing dishes at the sink. She was looking out the window at the ocean, just loving the view. It was her first anniversary, and her children were now three months old. They were smiling and laughing, especially at their daddy, who always new just the right faces to make to the right sounds and things to say to get them kicking their feet, laughing and smiling big toothless grins. She smiled to herself as she thought of their daddy. He was a wonderful father. Always there when she needed a hand. He was at work today. He had hoped to have it off, but got called in that morning, before any celebrating of their first anniversary could be done.

He promised tonight he would do something special. Ben was always romantic, and she wondered what he had up his sleeve. She knew it would be something extremely special, the past three months had been hectic as they got used to the idea of being parents. She hadn't exactly been a great wife lately, but the fact that he stuck by her even when she hadn't been in the mood for the past three months made her love him even more.

She was brought back out of her thoughts when someone playfully started to bite her neck. As hands wrapped around her stomach. She giggled "Hello Ben."

"I can't talk with my mouth full" He mumbled as he lifted his lips off her. He smiled at her. "Happy Anniversary, baby." He said and gave her a bouquet of yellow roses. "I bought these for you. That's only part of my gift though." He looked at her with that look. She knew just what they would be doing that night.

"Really?" She smiled her own suggestive smile.

"Yeah. Nick and Beth are spending the night with Dad and mom." They had taken to calling Daniel and Jane Dad and Mom or Mom and Dad. They lived together, and they were very close to their parents. "We drop them off, then I'm taking you very special. They know where we'll be if they need to reach us, so don't worry. I know, it's the first night for them away from us, but I think they'll do it. Besides, the babies need their sleep, so we'd have to be quiet tonight." He winked at her.

"So when does the evening begin?"

"Well I've got the kids bags packed, so all we have to do is get changed and head on out."

"Sounds great. I have to get ready."

"I think I'll join you. I need to get out of these work clothes."

They headed upstairs and changed their clothes. Margaret put on an elegant but simple burgundy dress, with thin straps and floor length skirt. Hawkeye put on a suit and blue button up shirt. Again, he refused to wear a tie, but he still looked great. When he came out of the bathroom, he took one look at Margaret, saw her in the dress and wrapped his arms around her.

"God, you look good." He mumbled as he kissed her deeply.

"Thank you, so do you." Margaret put her hands in his back pockets. "I still love your butt."

"Well, I love your," He was looking down at her and Margaret took his chin in her hand and guided his head up to look at her face. "Your, face" He said smiling.

"And that was what you were thinking right?"

"My dear, you wouldn't believe what I am thinking right now. I don't know if I'd say it while the twins are still in the house."

"Hmm, really? Well how about tonight? When we're all alone?" She said seductively.

"Well then, well, it's been over three months Margaret. Three months. I've been taking a lot of cold showers, and tonight, well, I won't be held responsible for my actions. Actually I will, because I love you so much my Major Baby."

"I love you too, Captain Sexy." She moved closer to him, kissing him and moving her hands from his butt to his---

"Hmm, Margaret, this is difficult to say no to, but I don't want to start something we can't finish for a while. I know, I'm just as disappointed as you are, but for now, we just have to wait. We have dinner reservations, so, you know"

"I know, I know. Well, we should go now and drop Nick and Beth. You sure you think they'll be alright?"

"Margaret, please, stop worrying. Dad raised me, and Mom raised you and another daughter and son. They'll be fine. Trust me. We'll have a wonderful, quiet, romantic, and I emphasize romantic, evening. They'll be asleep by the time we bring them over. They'll wake up once, maybe twice for something to eat, and when we finally wake up from a long hard night, we'll go get them. Dad promised that he'd call if something were wrong, and only then. So, tonight, it's just you and me, and we'll be happy in our other blue heaven."

"Ben." She giggled. "We'd better go."

Reluctantly they let go of each other and got the babies dressed up. They headed out to their parents house, and Hawkeye finally managed to pull Margaret away from them, her giving them instructions all the way. They headed out to the restaurant the Lighthouse, the place where they had supper that first night. They ate supper by candlelight, looking at each other longingly the whole time. When they finished supper, Hawkeye brought her home and down to the beach behind their house, in time to watch the sunset. Like always, Margaret was cuddled into Hawkeye, and he planted sweet gentle kisses around her neck. Eventually, it got too much for him, and once the sun had gone down he had pulled her around and rolled her over and got on top of her. His lips found hers and they kissed passionately.

"Hmm Ben, let's take this back to the house. This beach isn't our property, and besides mom and dad might call."

"Okay" He said not lifting his lips off her neck. He picked her up and brought her into the house. He brought her up the stairs and onto the bed. He jumped down next to her and was just about to kiss her again when

"Ben" Margaret said while pushing her finger on his nose. "I was going to get a bath. Would you like to join me?"

"Would I?! I knew that big bathtub would come in handy. We could play hide the washcloth."

"Ben!!" She giggled and pulled him into the bathroom.

He made love to her slowly and passionately that night, and when they woke up the next morning it was already ll:00. Margaret was cuddled into Hawkeye as much as she could. When he woke up he kissed her on her neck.

"Good morning Major Baby"

"Good morning Captain Sexy. We should get up honey. We have to get the kids this morning, and you know if we're really late we'll never hear the end of it from your dad."

"Don't worry, he already knows what we were doing. He made fun of me already. Hopefully he's used his best jokes already. We should get a shower before we go over there. And I emphasize the we." He said and managed to pull he closer than either thought possible.

"Okay, just give me a few minutes. I'm tired. You really wore me out, sexy."

"Yeah, well he has been over three months of cold showers for me. I had a lot built up in me."

"I could tell. But even though you haven't had much lately, you haven't lost your touch." She said giggling and kissing his nose.

They kissed passionately again and made their way to the shower.

When they got to their parents, Daniel and Jane were asleep together on the couch, with Nick and Beth in their arms. Daniel had one arm around Jane and her head was resting on his chest.

"Shh" Hawkeye put his finger to his mouth, smiling. He brought Margaret into the dining room where they could see the older couple with the twins without being seen. He then coughed a little, just enough to make them stir. They didn't realize what had wakened them up, but slowly they opened their eyes.

"Good morning, Dan."

"Good morning Jane. Looks like the little ones finally went to sleep. Too bad they interrupted us last night. I was going to do something really special." Hawkeye looked over at Margaret and the two screwed up their faces in disgust.

"Don't worry Dan." Hawkeye looked at Margaret and questioningly mouthed "Dan?" Nobody ever called him Dan. It was always Daniel. "Tonight Margaret and Hawkeye will have them again. They had their night last night. But tonight will be our night." Jane said in the same way Margaret did to seduce Hawkeye. She placed a finger on his nose and kissed his mouth.

Minding the babies they maneuvered, so Daniel could put them in the carriers, which were in the living room next to the couch. He then sat back next to Jane and guided her down so he was lying on top of her, kissing her neck, acting just like Hawkeye did to Margaret. The younger couple watched in awe as they realized that it was like looking at an older version of them. It was the way they always acted towards each other before they had sex.

Hawkeye motioned to Margaret to come with him. Quietly they exited the house and sat down next to the swimming pool.

"That was disgusting! I'm a doctor, and I know the way we act, and I know what they're doing right now."

"What will we do Ben? I mean, I don't want to interrupt them. Not to mention being gross and awkward for us to see them doing more that what they were doing, I know I hate to be interrupted when I'm with you."

"I know, we'll run back home and call. In, say a half hour. It's hard to say how long it will take. Given Pierce men, if Dad's anything like me, he could make it last an hour, but if they haven't done it for a while then it might only last five minutes. but then there's also-"

"BEN! I do NOT want to think about how long it will take them! That is disgusting! When we get home, we'll call them. Simple as that. We are not supposed to know what they are doing, they will be expecting us to call, and so they shouldn't be disappointed."

"Sounds like a plan."

They drove home and called their parents house. The phone rang for a while before Daniel picked up the phone. He sounded out of breath. "Hello?"

"Hi dad! You sound out of breath. You working hard? Exercising, are you?"

"Uh, yeah, sure son. I was exercising. Got to keep healthy."

"Yeah dad, okay." He smiled and winked at Margaret. "Listen, we were planning on coming by now to pick up the kids. How are they?"

"The kids?! Oh, yeah, they're fine! Not a peep from them at all. You coming over now?"

"I guess so. Is that all right with you?"

"Yeah, sure come on over when you're ready." Hawkeye could hear the slight panic in his voice.

"'K, bye dad! Talk to you later!"

He hung up the phone. "Give them a few minutes. They don't sound finished."

"EWW! BEN!!"

"Well, at least give them time to finish what they started! You know how we hate to be interrupted."

"I guess so."

"So maybe we can do a little something something while he still have the time and privacy." He grabbed her and pulled her close.

"You read my mind." She laughed as she guided him on top of her on the couch. She wrapped her arms and legs around him as he kissed her all over.

When they finished they decided that if a young couple did that in that time, then the older couple would definitely be done. Actually, Hawkeye said that, and Margaret was totally disgusted. He pulled on his boxers as she sat there looking at him.

"You know, we just did it the same time as our parents. On a couch. Isn't that a bit, uh,"

"Disgusting? Yeah. Not to mention that couch in Dad's house was the place where we started off that night, remember?"

"You bet I remember! That was one of the most amazing nights of my life!"

"Better than last night?"

"Well I don't know about that. You see to get better all the time, so it's hard to say. At the time, it was the best night of my life."

He laughed as he finished getting dressed. They then made their way over to their parent's house for the second time to get the kids.

"Let's say, no more surprising them. We always call before we come over." Hawkeye said as they drove.

"Sounds like a good idea. We don't need a repeat. I know they're too old to now, but can you imagine if they got us a little brother or sister? It would be weird. It would kind of make us brother and sister, you know?"

"I'll never think of you as a sister, my dear. You're too sexy."

"Hmm, Thank you, and the same goes for you. I could never think of you as a sister."

"Hey!"

They picked up their children, and were delighted to see that they recognized their parents. When they saw Hawkeye, they laughed and kicked their feet, and when they saw Margaret they smiled and moved their arms in such a way to show they wanted to be picked up. Hawkeye picked up Beth and Margaret picked up Nick, and they headed home. They were grateful for the night they had alone together, like they had before the twins, but were equally as grateful to see their children again. They had not been away from them for this long before. They got the kids home and continued to be parents again after that one night of just being lovers.
