Chapter 1: A Night on the Town

 

 

Now that Alex was a older, and strictly on the bottle, it wasn't as difficult for Rick and Evelyn to go out when they wanted time for just them.  He was now 17 months old and a handful, because he could walk anywhere he wanted, and was really starting to talk.  As they got ready for their night, Cara, who had come to watch Alex, was down in the parlor pushing him around the room on his hobby horse.

 

"See mummy hose,"  he said.  Hose was his word for horse, and it was raining outside, so going to do that wasn't a possibility.

 

"We can't Alex, it's raining,"  she said as she helped him off.  He ran to the couch and climbed on, standing to look out at the gray dismal evening.

 

"See hose.  On boots hat see hose,"  He said as he got down and ran out of the parlor with 14 year old Cara in hot pursuit of him.  He led her to the front entry and pulled out his water proof boots, as well as his rain slicker, and his woolen cap.  Cara sighed and knelt down.

 

"Alex lets go upstairs and I'll put on a play for you with your puppets,"  she said.  He sat down on the floor and pulled his boots over his bare feet, then stood up and put his coat on backwards.

 

"See hose, come Cawa,"  he said and pulled her to the door.  About that time Rick and Evelyn came, ready for their night out.  Evelyn had on a long black dress, and her hair was pulled back in a gold hair clasp.  She wore her snake bracelet which spiraled up her arm, and looked beautiful.  Rick had on his black slacks and a dark shirt with a burgundy tie.

 

"Hey buddy where are you going?"  he asked, noticing Alex looked dressed for outdoors.

 

"Cawa see hose,"  he told his father.  Rick lifted him to sit on his lap.

 

"It's very wet outside, but tomorrow we will go see those horses,"  he said hoping that would work.

 

"No go now,"  he said, and struggled to be put down.

 

"We'll be all right,"  Cara reassured and held him as they left.  When the door closed, Alex hit it with his hands and started to cry about wanting to go see the hoses.

 

 

 

 

Dinner was at their favorite Italian Restaurant  'Bella Notte', and now Rick and Evelyn sat in the back of the small restaurant having wine, and fresh bread dipped in olive oil, and a special set of herbs while they waited for their meal to arrive.

 

"I think we need to do this more often,"  Evelyn said as she sipped from her wine glass.  Rick had just taken a big bite of bread and nodded his head, deciding not to talk with his mouth full.  Once he had chewed it up and swallowed it he responded.

 

"I agree, Cara is good with Alex, and most of the time he is good for her,"  He commented.  She sighed and he noticed that longing look in her eyes and followed her gaze across the room to a couple with a very new baby next to them.  He reached out and took her hand.

 

"Tell me what's going on in that beautiful head of yours,"  he said, wanting to know.  She sighed.

 

"I miss having a baby.  Alex just grows so much, and so fast that in no time he will be off on his own,"  she said sadly.  He reached up and put his hand to her cheek.

 

"Evelyn we have at least 17 years before that happens,"  he reminded, and she smiled taking his hand and kissing it.

 

"I know, I just feel somehow cheated that we will never have a chance at parenthood again. That I will never hold a new born baby in my arms, never feel it growing inside of me,"  she said.

 

"Never say never sweetheart.  We have seen so much so who knows what the future will bring, and there is always adoption,"  he added thinking back to his childhood in the orphanage and how he had longed for that.  Evelyn shook her head.

 

"I want my own,"  she said, and he knew there would be no way to persuade her any differently.

 

 

 

 

On the home front, Cara had gotten Alex interested in taking a bath and now she sat on the little wicker stole while he splashed in the water.

 

"Cawa in,"  he said.  She smiled.

 

"No Alex I had my bath already, but thank you for asking,"  she said.  He pushed his duckies around in the water and she let him play until he was quite wrinkled from sitting in the bath for so long.

 

"All right Alex lets get you out of there, and we can snuggle in your mummy and daddy's bed."  Getting out of the bath was the last thing he wanted to do so Cara just sat back and decided when the water got cold enough he would come out, or so she hoped.

 

 

After dinner, Rick drove he and Evelyn out into the countryside.  The rain had stopped and he knew a place they had not visited in a long time.  Soon he pulled his car to the side of the road, and got out, walking around to her side of the car.  Once he had the door open. he helped her out past the puddle and they walked a little ways into the woods, and came out into a clearing next to a small lake of sorts.  They walked around it hand in hand and walked out on the little pier.  Rick took off his coat and wiped off the area as best he could then sat down and pulled her to sit on his lap.

 

"I think we needed this,"  she said, totally content to be nestled in his strong arms.

 

 

 

 

Alex finally decided to get out of the bath after his skin was very wrinkled and the water quite cold.  Cara got him dried off, and into his clean diaper and warm pajama's then they went into his parents room and snuggled in the large bed.  Cara had brought quite a few stories and while Alex held his bear and his bink she began to read to him from The Velveteen Rabbit.  Usually when she read to him, he went right to sleep, but tonight she got through the entire book, and he was still awake.

 

"Pay toy,"  Alex said sitting up.  Cara sighed.  Some nights things went beautifully, with Alex doing exactly what he needed to do, other nights he was not as easy to handle and so far tonight was one of those nights.

 

"It's time to go to sleep,"  she said.

 

"No seep. Go,"  he said and pushed her away from the bed.  She stood up and he laid back down, so she sat down in the rocking chair and for a long while they watched one another until Alex went to sleep.  Even then she stayed put not risking that he wake up and get into things he should not.

 

 

 

 

 

It was fairly late when Rick and Evelyn returned from their date, and as they entered the house all was at peace which was a blessing.  Rick had left the car running, and waited for Evelyn to go get Cara, sitting on one of the chairs in the hall.  When she didn't find Cara in the Parlor, Evelyn went upstairs, first to Alex's room which was empty, and then to theirs where she found their young sitter reading a book, and Alex asleep on their bed.  When Evelyn entered Cara looked up and smiled.

 

"How did he do?"  Evie asked softly.

 

"Good as always,"  she whispered then took her leave.  Once she had gone Evelyn went to her dresser, and got out a black silk gown and took it over to the bed.  After taking off her black dress, knickers and bra, she slipped the soft gown over her body, and then moved beside her son.  Alex was asleep against her pillow, content, and she hated to move him, but they were working very hard to keep him in his own bed.  Very carefully she lifted him away from their bed, but not careful enough as he came awake.

 

"Noo, tay,"  he said struggling as she cradled him against her.

 

"Shhh, mummy's here baby,"  Evie said carrying him out of their room.  Once he knew it was his mummy, Alex settled down snuggling his face against her chest. In his room Evie settled in the rocking chair, and began to rock him.  His eyes remained shut, and it wasn't long before his steady breathing indicated deep sleep.  Again, carefully, she stood and this time got him into his crib without so much as a fuss.  After putting a warm quilt over him, Evelyn walked back to the room she and Rick shared and noticed Bink and Teddy, and took them to her baby, then laid in bed waiting for Rick's return.

 

 

 

Cara lived fifteen minutes from them, so it took Rick a half hour to get back home.  Once he arrived he shut off his car, and locked the doors, then let himself inside and locked the door to the house.  He took the time to make sure everything else was locked and in order then headed upstairs.  Before retiring to his and Evelyn's room, Rick went in Alex's, and checked on his son.  He stood at the crib and smiled, watching his son sleep for a bit, then leaned in kissing his soft chubby cheek, before leaving to get to his wife.  When he arrived in their room, she was laying in their bed reading a book, looking ravishing as ever, and his unending desire for her flared to life.  He removed his cloths, and went to their large bed, gently moving the book away from her.  Evelyn looked up, and knew that the night was not yet finished, and didn't mind that at all.  When he settled beside her, and lifted her on his lap she sighed rubbing her cheek against the soft skin of his chest feeling the rippling muscles there.

 

"God Evie I never get tired of this,"  Rick said as his hands moved over her arms then against her back pulling her closer to him.  Her response was a soft sigh, and she lifted her head as his lowered, their lips meeting in a gently exploratory kiss.  Some nights their love was hurried, forceful, other nights it was slow and searching, and Evelyn liked both, but this way was her favorite.  As his mouth and tongue moved against her lips, Rick's hands moved lower on her body easing her a bit off his lap so he could remove her night gown.  He loved the feeling of silk against his body, but loved the feel of her body skin to skin against his more.  Once the gown was removed he pulled her back against the bed laying against the mattress with her on top of him.  It was Evelyn who broke the kiss, and she sat up sitting over him straddled.  Rick reached up and traced his fingers over her soft full breasts then down her stomach as Evelyn moaned out.  When she slid down his chest and he felt her wet desire against him he shuttered, then lifted his hands as she took ahold lifting her body off of him over his very erect penis.  Both of them let out soft moans as their bodies joined, as Evelyn slid down against his flesh, then she began to lift herself off of him, and slid back holding his hands for support.

 

"Evie Evie,"  he said as he felt her wet slick walls tighten against him.  The position they were in was not easy for her, but there were times when she liked this way of making love to her husband, so she could see his face, watch his expression as she gave him pleasure.  After a couple of minutes Rick eased her to lay against his chest and moved his hands against her bottom squeezing her cheeks, which got a gasp from her.

 

"Oh Rick,"  she said as she lifted her hips away from him. At the same time she moved her body against him she lifted her head and then lowered her lips to the sensitive flesh of his neck kissing him there.  She heard his gasping response and smiled, rubbing her cheek over him.  Then all at once, with one swift move of his hand, and turn of his body, she found herself beneath him.  Rick placed a hand on either side of her upper body lifting away from her and began his own movements in and out of her, slow at first then increasingly faster.  His head lowered to her lips, and he nuzzled her there with his own lips and tongue, then moved lower to her chin nibbling her there.  After he spent time exploring her there, he moved to her neck nuzzling her soft skin with his nose then his mouth.

 

"Oh Rick I love you,"  she cried out as her walls tightened around him.  She felt a sweet pressure build within her womb, then when it became almost unbearable the pressure exploded sending waves of pleasurable sensation throughout her body.  She cried out his name, and he covered her lips with his as he felt his own climax approaching.  He took long fast strokes into her and then his completion spilled within her depths. He lowered himself on top of her sliding his arms beneath her back to support his weight as he tried to catch his breath, still feeling her walls spasming around his shaft.  It took time but he finally eased away to look in her eyes.  She smiled at him a tired smile, and he knew for now there needed to be time for rest.  Gently he rolled them so that his back was against the mattress, and Evelyn lay against him. He reached down and pulled the blankets over their bodies, then joined his wife in a peaceful slumber.
