Third Times a Charm
by Donna and Abby

Methos was walking down the main street of Edan, thinking to himself. He was sure, now, that the father of Crystal's baby was Snape. Of course, he
understood why Dumbledore had done what he had, but the thought of his wife with that monster! It was depressing. Especially when he had to sleep alone.  Although he was now able to have sex with her, because she was pregnant, she was at Hogwarts, and Floo powder was definitely out. He'd need to take the train, and there just was no time to go all the way up to
Hogwarts for a quickie! 

As he walked down the street, he saw something that made the corner of his mouth go up in a smile. It was Katherine coming his way with Doireann. Even though he knew she wasn't his, he still had a soft spot in his heart for the little girl. 

Of course, he smiled and opened his arms to her, and she came running to him. She reminded him of Sallie, with her dark hair, though Doireann was older. The oldest normally aging child in Edan, in fact!

She ran into his arms, squealing with joy as he tossed her up into the air. "Hello, Papa 'Thos. Mummsie and me are going shopping." 

"Is Mummy buying you something pretty?" he asked, unafraid that Kat would scold him for putting ideas into the pretty little head.

"Uhhhhuhh!" she giggled. "I wants a dolly." 

"I expect there's one at the Mercantile, just waiting for you," he grinned.

Doireann giggled and hugged his neck tight. "I ride pony today, Papa 'Thos," she said proudly. "All by 'self!" 

"Are you sure she's MacLeod's?" Methos asked Katherine. "He can't stay in the saddle to save his life. While I . . ."

Katherine just laughed. "Yes you can, you old so and so." She slipped her small hand into the crook of his free arm. "You looked a little down in the face when I first saw you. How about having dinner at my place tonight?"

"I wouldn't say no to your cooking," he said, "but if I told you what I really wanted you'd call me a dirty old man and slap my jaws."

Her eyes sparkled. "If it is what I think it is, I think that can be arranged. You know I'm primed and ready, right?" 

"You mean you'd bring another Type A into the world?" he grinned, feeling cheeky.

"I sure would," Kat said with a soft purr. "Help me get my shopping done first though, ok?" 

"Only if you let me buy her the dolly."

Doireann squealed with joy and hugged his neck even tighter. "Of course," Katherine chuckled. 

He would always have a place in his heart for this little girl. But it looked like there might be another one to join her - maybe Kat's first boy!

Later on that evening, his belly stuffed with Kat's good cooking, and the children finally in bed, Kat winked at Connor and John and then took Methos by the hand, leading him to the guest bedroom. They knew what was going to happen of course. The subject of the choice of a father for Kat's third and last civil obligation had been well discussed, and her wanting Methos to do the honors met with both of their approvals. 

"Are you sure you're up to this?" he asked in a husky tone as he wrapped his arms around her. "I haven't been getting it regularly and I'm ready to bust."

"You know me better than that," she chuckled, moving close and sliding her hands up his shirt.

He sucked in his breath, closing his eyes and giving himself over to the pleasure. Then, sighing, he said, "Keep that up and I'll pop off right here!"

"Let me take the edge off then," she chuckled wickedly. "Then we can take our time and do it right after you recover." 

He grinned happily. "I will return the favor then," he promised.

"I'm sure of that," she said as her busy little hand undid his pants before sinking down to her knees in front of him. He was swollen and pulsing with need. She was, of course, quite expert at this, and he made no attempt to hold his ardor back. There was some wisdom to her actions, he knew. Once the edge was taken off his need, they would both have a great deal more enjoyment! 

He was not one to hurry matters, and could usually last a long time when he wanted. But tonight he had been frank and honest with her, and it paid off. Once he was satisfied, he picked her up, kicked off his pants, and brought her to the bed.

He had known Kat for some time now, from back in his Doc Adams days. After some unpleasant issues had been dealt with in her life, she had proved to be a refreshingly uninhibited lover. And if anything, she had only improved with age! 

He wanted more than just release tonight. He was a very tactile person, and actually hated to sleep alone, despite sometimes wishing for solitude in his
life otherwise. Now he laid her on the bed, stripped the clothes from her, and began slowly tasting every inch of her.

She gave herself over to him completely. There was never any halfhearted lovemaking on her part! As his tongue explored her body, her empathic talents let him know exactly what felt good, and what felt really, really good! He followed her lead, playing with her, and making her wait for release. Her body was so sensitive by the end that just a breath on her soft skin made her shiver.

She clung to him for a few minutes afterwards, trying to catch her breath. "Wonderfully done, my old friend," she purred into his ear. "Now, are you going to make me preggers again, or not?" 

"You thought I was going to stop there?" he laughed. Rolling over, he showed off his now massive erection to her. She laughed as he pulled her onto him, then gasped as he plunged deep inside her.

The fact that he knew that he would have another child on the way added a little extra spice to what was always a pleasant occasion. That and Kat was biting his shoulder as he plunged in and out of her! He liked a little pain with his pleasure. He ground his hips into hers, and moved her around so they would both feel every bit of friction possible. Then he said, "Don't think this is the last of it, darling.  After I'm finished, I plan to make you come a few more times before morning!"

"I'm counting on it!" she gasped as waves of pleasure started to overcome her once more!
