Time passed quickly by, and for almost a month Rick and Evelyn had slept in the same bed, but not expressed a complete loving. Rick knew his wifes fears, but he didn�t share them as she did. As much as losing their only daughter had hurt, he couldn�t see not loving her in the way he was used to.
For Evelyn the separation, the dissatisfaction of not completing their love was almost as painful as her worry over conceiving another child. Never in her life had she been afraid to face anything, be it a difficult test in school, or a 3000 year old cursed mummy. Until Christina�s death, nothing had worried her, and now all of that had changed.
Their life was getting back to normal. Alex was doing better now that he was back in school, and both parents had set aside time for him when he arrived home from school, to talk to him about his day, and to help him with his studies, which thus far consisted of his learning to write, and learning shapes and colors, as well as reading. He still had a difficult time talking about Christina, and just recently had started to go with his uncle John to the cemetery to put flowers on her grave.

Another week had flown by, and with the end of Friday quickly approaching, Evelyn was looking forward to a weekend spent with the family. She and Rick had talked about taking Alex out to the cottage a little past Oxford, and she hoped they would be able to do that, and when she arrived she smiled, anticipating a wonderful time with husband and son.
While Evelyn had been at work, Rick had made plans for both of them to go to the Cottage on their own, and had a friend, who lived not far from there, go and prepare things. Aunt Maggie had agreed to stay with Alex, who at first had been upset about them not taking him, then after he found out that Aunt Maggie was taking him to the Circus his sadness had quickly taken a back seat.
Now in the Parlor, Rick waited for his wife�s arrival. They would leave when she arrived, and he already had everything they needed packed. It was the click of her heals on the black and white tiled floor that alerted him of her approach, and Rick quickly got up getting the roses he had bought for her.
The quiet was not usual place, but Evelyn had guessed her two guys were out at the barn cleaning stalls, or perhaps out for a ride on their horses. When she walked into the parlor she was met with a surprise. �Oh Rick their beautiful,� she said as she set down her briefcase.
Seeing the sparkle in her eyes that he so loved, made Rick smile, and after handing her the roses he leaned in and gave her a light kiss on the lips. �I would love to give you more, but the other part of your surprise is a drive away. I thought we could use time alone, and don�t worry about Alex, Aunt Maggie is taking him to the circus,� Rick said, knowing that their son would be her first concern.
Truth be told as much as Evie loved her baby, her only child, she wanted time to be with Rick. They had not gotten much time to themselves both knowing that they had needed to focus their time on Alex. �I will gather my things,� she said, and started away, only to be pulled gently back into his arms.
�Not necessary, I already packed for us. If you need to get anything extra, then that is all you will need,� he said as he kissed her again.
Upstairs, Alex had heard her arrival, and pulled Aunt Maggie to the stairs, �You can�t go without kissing me,� he interrupted.
Both parents parted and when Alex ran downstairs, Evie knelt down and hugged him close. �You be good for Aunt Maggie, and if you get sad, you call and we will come back,� she said.
�I�m going to be good mum. I promise,� he said as he gave her a kiss.
Rick was next to give his son a hug and kiss, then after good-byes they got in their car, and headed away for the weekend

The cottage was even more secluded than their Manor. Nestled in the countryside twenty miles from Oxford, it was a nice get away for two people who needed just that. When they arrived at the cottage it was dark, and while Rick tended to the bags, Evelyn got the key from him, and opened the door, finding a fire lit, and on the table dinner for two. For a moment all she could do was stand there, then she moved when Rick called for her to do so. �Did Fritz do this?� she asked of their friend.
Rick grinned at her as he set down the bags. �Yes, he was very eager to please,� He said, then pulled her into his arms looking into her hazel eyes. �Now Mrs. O�Connell, tell me how I can please you,� Rick said, then kissed her lightly on the lips.
Being held in her husbands arms was true bliss, and the more time they spent with one another, the more of her doubts slipped away. �Do you mind if we eat, and talk?� she asked.
After giving her another kiss, Rick led her to her chair and pulled it out for her. Once she was seated he pushed it in, then went to his chair on the other side of the small wooden table. Their Dinner consisted of Glazed Ham, Mashed Potatoes and greenbeans, all warm, and for a while there was not much talking.
�Would you be angry if I told you I wasn�t ready to love yet?� Evelyn asked as she swallowed the bite of bread she had taken, and washed it down with a sip of white wine.
Knowing that it was going to take her time, and amazed that he wasn�t going nuts, Rick reached out and took her hand in his. �Hey, were in this together, and when you feel comfortable, then we will move past our cuddling,� he said.
Relief shown clear on her face, and the rest of dinner she told Rick about her day at the museum, then listened fondly as he told her of his day with Alex.
When dinner was over, Rick went to the Radio and found a station which played soft music, then went back to his wife and took her hand. Evelyn went willingly into his strong arms and sighed as they began to dance. �It has been so long since we have done anything like this,� she said.
Hearing the longing in her voice, Rick stopped their slow dance and pulled away from her. �Yeah it has. Evie do you trust me?� he asked.
�Of coarse I do,� she said.
He took her hand and led her to the bed, and had her lay down. �Now close your eyes. No peeping, no matter what you feel,� he said.
Having never done this before, at first Evelyn had a difficult time keeping her eyes shut, but as the need to feel his touch grew, she complied with his request.
Once he was sure she was ready, Rick started at her feet removing the black dress shoes she had on, then ran his hands over her left foot, then up her leg and back down.
Feeling his hands on her, and not being able to see him, was a whole new experience, one which Evelyn liked. She moaned out softly as he continued to stroke first one leg then the other. When she felt his hands work at the fastenings at the top of her stockings, Evie shivered with anticipation.
Never understanding why his wife put up with the fastenings on her stockings, Rick grumbled as one didn�t seem to want to cooperate, then finally he got it to release, and pulled first one stocking of then the other. With his lips, he kissed her , starting at her ankles and worked his way up her legs, kissing the inner part of each leg, getting soft moans of pleasure from her as he did.
�Touch me everywhere,� she managed as she felt his teeth scrape against her inner thigh. Reaching up, Rick lifted her hips then slid down the silky underwear she had on, and took it all the way off of her.
Evelyn placed her arm over her eyes, breathing heavy as she felt his lips travel up her legs. It was when she felt his tongue lick around her center, that Evelyn let out a cry of pleasure, and she grasped at the sheets with her free hand.
Her sweet smell was enough to finish Rick, but somehow he remained in control, taking his time to reacquaint himself with her taste. It had been too long since they had allowed themselves to be as intimate, and Rick was pleased that she wasn�t showing any signs of hesitation. Wanting to gain better access to her center, Rick lifted her hips again and unfastened the button on her tan skirt, then slipped that and the slip she had on, off, leaving her dressed in her silky white shirt, and her bra.
�I�m afraid,� she said gasping out.
Rick moved over her and moved her arm away so that she could see him. �Have you felt something missing?� he asked as he leaned in and kissed her lips.
Evie nodded her head, and she wanted more of his touch to complete her, but wasn�t sure how to let him do that, without being afraid.
�Don�t think Evelyn. We can�t live the rest of our life afraid, as much as it hurt to lose her, we owe it to Christina and ourselves to live full lives, which means not only a mental love for one another, but also a physical love, and if we conceive then we will deal with that when the time comes. Please trust me Evie,� he said.
His words moved her to tears, and she sighed as he kissed each tear away. How she ever managed to find him, was beyond her, and she would forever be thankful to whomever guided their lives together. �I want all of you this night,� she finally said. Finally she had accepted that they needed one another in this way, and she was no longer going to be afraid of what may or may not happen.
After kissing her lips tenderly, Rick stood up, and started to remove his cloths, only to be stopped by his wife. �Let me do this,� she said. His nod was her answer, and once she had gotten that, she worked at the buttons on his blue button down shirt, exposing his chest to the touch of her lips and hands.
Feeling her touch as it always had been, was like fire on his skin. It was an addiction, something which he could never seem to get enough of, and as she began to kiss him all over his chest and firm stomach, he realized just how much he had missed this time they spent together in love.
�Don�t stop,� he said as she lifted her head.
Evelyn smiled and rubbed her cheek against his chest, hearing the loud thundering of his heart, as his pulse quickened. After a few moments of resting her cheek against his chest, Evelyn moved away, and her hands made quick work of the black leather belt around the waist of his pants. Once she had that off, and even before she worked on removing his pants, Evelyn rubbed her hand over the already swollen flesh there, getting a groaning gasp of pleasure from the man she love.
Wanting to do more of his own exploration, Rick reluctantly moved her hand away from his pants, and then unbuttoned her shirt, exposing the cream white mounds he found beneath the silky fabric. With one swift move, he ripped her bra away from her chest, and lowered his head, taking her right breast into his mouth.
Evelyn closed her eyes, leaning her head back, trying to remember how to breath. His mouth and teeth on her breasts were enough to drive every doubt out of her, about making love to the man she was meant for. Again she reached down, and this time freed his engorged flesh from his pants rubbing the length of him.
For a moment, Rick stayed at her breast, but it had been too long since their bodies had been one, and after one last suckle on her breast, he pulled away, and finished getting undressed. Once he had, he gently eased his wife on the bed of the one room cabin and carefully moved over her.
�You�re sure?� he asked, wanting to make certain that she wasn�t doing this just because he wanted her to.
�I need us,� she said. Rick reached down between them, his fingers gently stroking over her clit, then dipping into her already wet flesh. It had been a long time since they had made love, and he knew that this first joining would likely be painful. Carefully he positioned himself over her, then pushed into her slowly.
Her inner walls immediately tighten around him, and both of them gasped at the intense pleasure that caused.
To give him better access, Evelyn lifted her legs, then wrapped them around his waist. He pushed further in to her, sliding his hands under her bottom, then lifted his head from her chest too look at her.
�Evelyn I love you. I�ve missed showing you just how much,� he managed, then lowered his head and kissed her deeply, while beginning a gently rhythm of moving in and out of her.
When she felt his tongue enter her mouth, Evelyn sighed, and reached up pulling his head down harder upon hers, deeping the kiss. For too long her body, her life had been in a deep sleep, and it was only now as her husband moved carefully, lovingly against her, that she was beginning to awaken. As he kissed her, Evelyn took the pleasure of running her hands through his soft hair, having forgotten how much pleasure she got from the simple touches such as that.
It seemed all to soon, that both of their bodies were calling out for completion, and Rick�s movements went from gentle loving caresses to demanding thrusts. Each movement, both of them cried out, each touch was a reaffirmation of the love they shared for one another.
Finally their completion came, tumbling both of them into a world that was just for them, and it was long moments before either of them could think to move.
Despite the fire going in the Fireplace, Rick felt Evelyn tremble and reached for the quilt at the bottom of the bed. He turned them on their side as he pulled the quilt over them, then looked at her beautiful face.
�I�m not sure why I was so afraid and uncertain,� Evelyn said after a few minutes of silence. Her head was nestled against his chest, and her body still tingled from their loving.
�Because what we lost with our baby threw both of our lives in limbo, and it has taken time to realize that the only way to heal from that is to love the ones we have left to love,� Rick said simply. His words and his touch brought comfort, and soon both of them drifted into the first night of peaceful restful sleep they had gotten since their little girl�s death.

Epilogue:
With the passage of time, and the love of family, Christina�s death, and the pain of that began to subside. None of them would ever forget her sweet smile, or her happy little laugh. There would be times when each of them would miss her, enough to hurt, but they had all found that as long as there was love, then there was nothing, not even death that they could not face, and come through.
THE END
NOTE. I noted that I might continue this, one of two ways. Would you guys like them to have another baby, to be born after Ahm Shere, and of coarse that would be difficult on them. Or would you like Alex to Bring his sister back as described in my reviews. Tell me and I�ll get started.
