her and nyx had so many adventures all their own, times when they were home in their little nest, in the past raising their own, and times when they were off exploring corners of the world together, times like right now were more rare and new to marley, getting to be here for a few weeks to see the final stages of coreyâs pregnancy and the time around the birth of her and irisâ second child. they hadnât been here around the time of spencerâs birth, not long after it, but still not like this, so enjoying a little piece of alaska and a branch of their family tree expanding was exciting to her. it was near impossible to think about much else past it and past nyx right beside her because they got every night together, so many days they got to themselves where they had the freedom to explore and do their own thing. sure the last day was spent cooking some bulk meals for the girls but corey and iris were productive all on their own, they didnât need them here like that. how many times sheâd poked her head into the house and seen iris with spencer and a basket of laundry the two were tackling or corey out measuring things in the barn and jotting down plans. their life wasnât pausing and they didnât need help from nyx and marley with their life. that was what excited marley so much about getting to cook some for them the last day or so, because everywhere else in life really, and for the near entirety of coreyâs life thus farâŚ.corey didnât need them. she didnât need help, she didnât need to be held, she didnât need something handled for her, she was their most independent and the mate sheâd foundâŚiris was just as independent, so the chances marley in had in little ways to help them warmed her. theyâd be gone soon enough, theyâd be leaving soon enough and it would be back to corey and iris and their little family being on the opposite end of the country from them. the nest time they saw spencer heâd be bigger, the next visit both babies would no doubt be bigger. she still understood nyxâs words about comforts she missed from home and she nodded hearing her. course she missed their things, their space, their bed, their couch, it was just for marleyâŚ..being home in that big empty space hit her at random times that it was just them there. nyx would always miss her work, she loved her work, marley loved working with her at times, the work itself wasnât her biggest selling point but nyx from the time that she was a teenager deciding what she wanted tooâŚhad always loved the work she pushed herself towards. her missing it wasnât ever going to surprise her. âwe can go home whenever youâre ready, obviously talking after we meet the baby and i check on corey and make sure sheâs alright and all that, but any time youâre ready weâll go home. itâs not like i canât be out here in seconds to see all of them or you canât. any time you want. i donât miss work right now but thatâs me, iâm kind of liking being a full-time grandma at the moment butâŚ.iâm not sure what i need in the way of work. you know me, iâll run away with a circus or open a bar, thatâs always been me just like nypd has always been you.â she tells her, because it was the truth, it was where they were different and it worked for them. nyx moved to sit more behind her and sheâd already shifted her plate aside to be done with dinner, wrapping her arms over top of nyxâs and leaning back into her a little bit. âheâs the sweetest little boy, and so smart. heâll be the best big brother.â she agrees, spencer always making her smile, between him being cute and a feisty little thing, he was so many little layers, grumpy if he woke up too soon, the first to grab your cheeks and rub his nose all over yours to get kisses out of you, little baby growls and clingy fingers and then his determination with crawling over every inch of the floor that he could and exploring opening cabinets. âiâm excited for it too, and itâs a short chapter right now, itâs going to pass so quickly and thenâŚ.â she let out a little breath, a smile on her lips as she turned her head into nyx to kiss her cheek and her neck. âonto the next.â she murmurs, before she was standing up to stretch and reach for nyxâs hand, pulling her up into her arms. âitâs going to be a long night, because weâre not going to be able to sleep soâŚ.â marley stepped back from her a little and pulled the tank top she was wearing over her head. âyou wanted to swim and i want to swim.â she pulled the sweatpants of nyxâs she was wearing down her hips too and kicked them off, skin bare now and warm but she could be warmer, even a lover of the colder temperatures she was pressing back into nyx to kiss her lips and asking for her.
everything was coming into place. yes their home was quiet now that all their children were not there. cade out doing her own thing, conor away in collage, chance out exploring the world the way she wanted to, and corey making her own little family right here in alaska. their place once loud with little feet running around, to teenagers grabbing food, or wanting to talk, was quiet. it was back to nyx and marley, and the quietness was beautiful, it was, but she knew marley missed the sounds of those children around them and nyx did too. she wasnât ready to leave here yet, she loved her job very much so. if it werenât for marley, nyx would work day and night with little to not sleep or food. but this, was by far more important than her work. work was always going to be there, but spencer and their granddaughter were not going to stay this small forever. time flew by so quickly, which was ironic considering they had plenty of time in their life, but not enough for children. they werenât like humans, they didnât stay small for months or years, they grew up fast. she didnât want to miss out on spencerâs first words, or his first step. didnât want to miss the moments where they had to change his diaper, and feed him. didnât want to miss watching iris and corey loving on him. she didnât want to miss a thing, and she knew marley didnât either. they could go back to their place, take up work again, but nyx knew, they would always find themselves back here again, to see these little children, and their own. to watch them all grow. she had her arms around marley, and she was kissing her curls hearing her words.ânot ready yet. i enjoy watching you be a grandmother, and a mom.â she says ,smiling softly on her curls.âfucking bastard.â she mutters, shaking her head softly, before she was breathing in her wife.âdo you feel like being a gymnast? a full time clown?â she teases softly, though she knew her wife, knew that work was just an experience for her a hobby. something to do just do when she felt like doing something.âi think a full time nanny suits you. could come out here and just dote all over these babies. spend more time with all of them, before the littlest babies grow up.â she whispers, pressing her lips to marleyâs cheek once more. didnât matter what marley wanted to do, nyx was always going to support her in everything that she did. her wife was amazing at everything, but the one thing she loved watching most; was marley being a nanna and a mother. that was the job she wanted her to always have. she was smiling at marley, nodding her head and agreeing with her. there was so much pride for corey and iris, knowing without any doubts that they would be amazing parents and their children would be the most well mannered little punks. but marley was right, spencer was already precious, and he was going to be an amazing big brother, and she wanted them both here to witness that too. she felt marleyâs arms resting on her own, and nyxâs chin found her shoulder, her eyes just taking in marley, just falling in love with her impossibly more. though she never fell, she always soared toward marley.âand the next will be just as amazing.â she whispers to her, kissing her cheek and her curls as she felt marley kissing her cheek and neck. then she was moving and amber hue looks into blue seeing the out stretched hand, nyx takes it, not before watching her stretch which had a smile pulling at her lips but she was also now closer to her wife, hearing her words, she was nodding her head.âdefinitely not going to sleep.â it was just too wiring, knowing their littlest granddaughter their only granddaughter was going to be born any moment now, and they were excited to meet her, and also wanting to make sure everything had gone alright also. though there had never been any problems at all, but you just never know, and it was worrisome, because this was their daughter, pregnant for the first time, you always prayed everything turned out right. but nyx had faith, and looking at marley now, she had a lot of faith. right now, she had a lot of marley her eyes taking her in, the sight of her as she took off her clothes, it had nyx nodding, swallowing, licking her lips, before she was pulling her own clothes off in a hurry, wanting to get to that swim.âyep, definitely all for swimming.â she tells her, smiling as marley comes back close to her, and nyx was wrapping her arms around her, kissing her, her arms pulling marley up off her feet to wrap her legs around her as nyx began to walk them over to the pool, lips not once breaking from marleyâs, her hands gripping into her ass as she got closer and began to walk them into the water. it was cold, but marley was warmer, and nyx was not going to let her out of her arms, wanting her wifeâs body heat always.
