a smile bit at her lips, iris joining her in the kitchen and making her cheeks warm as she tried to bite back the smirk to no avail really. she got sandwiches made and wrapped up, got them tucked into the bag along with a tiny spoon of spencer’s and a little jar of plain yogurt. he didn’t like the cold of the ice cream they’d let him try before but corey reached to grab one of his little bibs from the drawer as she listened to iris purring in her ear and she hummed back to her. “promise?” she whispers, though she knew it didn’t have to be a question and she turned in iris’ arms after feeling the nip at her ear, pressing her lips to her wife’s. “i love you, so you can’t hate me, not even a little.” her lips formed a little pout and she moved her hands to put spencer’s little bandana bib on him, before she reached for the freezer door to pull it open and unwrap one of the pickle juice popsicles she’d made for iris. “if you’re anything like your momma….you’re gonna love this, and those little gums of yours will too.” she handed the popsicle to iris, and kissed her cheek. “share. he is so ready to try that.” she smiled down at spencer, seeing him watching iris and sticking his little tongue out. corey kissed the tip of it and then his nose before she grabbed the bag from the counter and placed it by the door. “about five minutes, tops, you have time for a shower if you’re that distracted and if you think the popsicle isn’t enough to cool down. i can grab the bag and spence and we can go find a place outside to sit while you shower.” she tells her, looking to spencer wondering if iris wanted that. corey had her moments when she needed to cool down, but for the most part she was mind over matter when she had to. spencer went back to latching on to his momma and corey smiled stealing a little taste of her wife’s lips. “i love you and i’m gonna have you, the second we’re back in our room.”
marley’s smile spread and she laced her hand with nyx’s, nodding. “yeah a little bit extra, more extra than you, it was the give-away. she was trying to convince me and i….just need my baby girl.” she smiled and pressed her lips to the back of nyx’s hand, breathing in her scent and keeping her tight in her lungs as she walked with her. she couldn’t keep her eyes off of nyx and the smile she had on, the way she kept singing little words. she knew she was excited and marley was too, loving their time here with the girls and spencer and everyone really excited for the arrival of the newest baby in their family, nyx especially so excited that rumor told them it was a girl. they stayed away from checking those things when they checked corey but they knew that corey and iris were adamant and she was so excited to find out for sure, so happy seeing nyx this happy. seeing her around babies though, stirred something in the pit of marley’s stomach and that was something else entirely that had her pulling nyx in closer to her. “most beautiful family in the world.” she whispers, pressing her lips to nyx’s neck and nodding. “yeah actually, i was kind of thinking of things to make them for dinner. i know i don’t really do chicken but i know they do and i managed to find a farm near here that has some free-range, so i was thinking one night doing some fried chicken for them, maybe a collection of local hot sauces with it that they could have fun trying because we’re a spicy kind of family, but tonight i was thinking of making beef stew and some salad, fresh dinner rolls with that. it’s a comfort food and it’ll keep tummies warm and if they’re not feeling like anything too heavy then there’s the salad at least.” she muses, swiping her tongue over her lips. being still early enough in the morning, they had time to figure out dinner, but she knew a pot of stew would sit fine in the fridge to be reheated. “we could roll some sushi too, me and you. the fresh seafood here is epic. we could make some shrimp alfredo by the pot-full…” so many things, she knew neither of them wanted the girls stressing over meals when they could be relaxing and preparing for the newest addition, relaxing with spencer, or….”she’s really close.” marley muses, her eyes touching on the house as they approached it and she had to pause for a complete mom moment. she could hear corey’s heartbeat, her little nyx, and her blue eyes teared over slightly with her tender smile. “our littlest girl.” and she had an amazing wife beside her, an amazing little son already; their littlest daughter though…”she’s really close, like….hours, not days. it’s not days anymore.” she whispers, smiling and wiping her hand on her cheek to blink back moisture in her hue. “we made that.” she lets out, more quickly but with just as much emotion before she pressed her lips to nyx’s shoulder and pulled in her scent again.

she was smiling hearing the question leaving her wife’s lips, and iris was nodding her head.”promise, baby girl.” she whispers, looking at the sandwiches corey had made, just made her stomach grumble, loving all the different varieties of sandwiches, and it made her lick her lips, before pressing them into her curls, smiling more at the sound of her wife’s voice ringing so beautifully in her ears.”you have a point. i love you too, enough to not have me hate you.” she whispers, chuckling softly, her lips pressing to corey’s to remove the pout from them, before she was watching corey move, and iris was looking down at their little man, smiling softly at him, before she was kissing the top of his head, breathing in the scent that was corey and spencer also. she watches as corey put his little bandana on him, her hue going to corey once more, seeing the popsicle she pulled out of the freezer, smiling hearing corey and seeing the color of it.”you made pickle popsicles?” she asks her, her smile warming into a loving one, her heart skipping beats before she looks down at spencer, seeing the way he was eyeing up the popsicle. iris was looking back to corey hearing her words, and she sucked on the popsicle a hum leaving her lips at the deliciousness that her wife had made, before she was placing it down to spencer’s lips, watching his little tongue dart out to lick it, and then back in as he smacks his lips together to see how it tasted, before he was going back for more. her hue moved to corey’s, shaking her head gently a smile tugging on her lips.”nah, think i’ll be good, think i hear them outside. popsicle will definitely do wonders until you and i get a chance to be alone.” she whispers, knowing a shower wouldn’t do it any justice, she preferred her wife anyway. she was humming to the kiss that was given, smiling as she heard spencer sucking on the popsicle still, a soft moan leaving her lips.”promise?” she asks gently, a smile tugging at her lips, before her hue goes to the door, before she was moving to place an apple on the windowsill of the kitchen, and moving back to corey. @thenolansx
"mmm, well if she comes back, i'll handle it." she told her, nodding once, stubbornly, though her smile stayed on her lips. "i always need my baby girl." she added, squeezing her wife's hand with her own and smiling more feeling the warmth of her lips against her skin. she pressed closer to her, soothing her thumb over her knuckles as they walked but her eyes stayed mostly on her mate, drinking her in and seeing her surrounded by alaska, seeing her here where they were on the cusp of another beautiful life being added to their own. nyx was excited, bubbling over with the feeling and it was shifting into nerves too, a restlessness that was more tender under her skin but still there. she wanted to help get things ready for the girls, wanted to make sure they were settled and had everything they needed and wanted, wanted to take as much stress off of the two of them as they could. every new addition was beautiful and welcomed, and she knew the ways marley and herself had talked before about things, the way that they both knew that they'd never be through loving each other, never be through wanting things together and getting to see her wife be the beautiful mother that she was even more only made nyx want more with her. it was a beautiful cluster of feelings and she cherished them, focusing where they needed to at any given time but she was aware of her own feelings too, of the way her wife looked at her with little spencer in her arms and she knew it even more for the way it was the same look she gave to marley, that same pride and love mixing with a beautiful ache and tender wants just the same. this new chapter was on the horizon, not of being grandmothers but of being grandmothers all over again, of having a granddaughter, of being surrounded by their family and being here to help them in every way that they could and she nodded with her mate's words, and more with the ones that followed, agreeing to her ideas for food and she pressed closer to her wife still. "we've always been a spicy family. the fried chicken sounds good, and definitely beef stew. right, it's warm, stick to your bones food. i can do wraps, any time. they're quick and easy but filling and that's a no-effort lunch, basically. "ooooh, seafood. definitely will have to do sushi then, yes shrimp alfredo. what about fish tacos?" she mused, looking to her wife more. "maybe some crab too?" she added as an afterthought. her voice trailed off with her wife's though, feeling the subtle shift in her mate that had her eyes looking to her more and she heard her words, stilling more in their movements to pull her closer, the words she gave hitting her square in the chest. it hit her, realizing just how close they were and she pulled marley into her chest, wrapping her arms around her to press her lips to her temple, her cheek, breathing her in before she found her lips, kissing her deeply and feeling her eyes burn as she did. "we made that." she breathed, nodding stubbornly as her smile spread against her wife's lips, her arms flexing around her. "our girls are bringing another little girl into the world." she hummed, more excitement stirring. it wasn't set in stone of course, they didn't press that deeply when they checked on corey and lincoln, but their daughters were insistent that the little grandbaby...so close to coming into this world was a little girl and until they knew otherwise, she was. god, hours. "so close to meeting our second grandbaby." she hummed, those words making her stomach twist and her eyes sting more but her smile only spread more on her lips, her hand reaching for her mate's once again to flex there. "let's go check on them." she whispered, nodding softly and moving more toward the house. "see how our girls are doing, our little grandson."
