LIFE WITH ALEX
Chapter 2: Sleepless Nights.
It had been a week since Alex joined them, making them a family, and Rick Evelyn and Jonathan were slowly getting used to having him around. Today had been his first outing to the museum in Cairo, and he had slept most of the day in his harness that Evelyn wore around her middle. Now as they approached the house he was crying very loud about something.
“Shhh, were almost home baby, then I’ll take you out of here, and you can stretch out,” she told him as she rubbing his back. As she approached the door, it opened and Rick came out.
“I heard your approach,” he said as he lifted Alex from the sling, and settled him against his shoulder. Then he took her hand, and they went inside. Even in his fathers arms, Alex wasn’t very happy, and when the got in the Parlor Rick laid Alex on the quilt that he liked to stretch out on, but he only cried harder.
“Hey there Alex,” he said, as he lay next to him rubbing his belly. Alex lifted his legs and kicked them out, angry at something, so Rick sat up and held him again rocking him.
“It’s okay daddy’s got you,” he said rubbing his back. His voice, and the rocking did the trick, and in a moment Alex had calmed down. He lifted his head looking around then rested it against daddy’s shoulder. Alex was strong, and curious, which the doctor said was good. Again Rick tried to lay him on the blanket, and this time he didn’t get upset about that. Rick lay next to him and called out for him, and Alex looked in his general direction.
“Did you have a good time at the museum?” he asked his son. Alex yawned at that, and Rick chuckled.
“I know exactly what you mean,” he said, then yelped as a pillow hit him.
“Hey no throwing things at me when I’m so close to the baby,” Rick said teasing her. Evelyn came over to them and sat down behind Rick.
“For your information, Alex had a very good day. He got to see some of the displays, and met several of the guests,” she said, letting her baby hold her finger. He looked around moving his arms and his legs, getting his exercise for a little bit, then he started to get fussy. Rick reached over and got one of his little soft toys that had beads in it which rattled when shook, and tried that, and Alex settled down, following the sound with his eyes. Evelyn smiled and took his tiny hand helping him hold the rattle, shaking it and his eyes got big as he heard it rattle. He was entertained by that for a little longer. Then he got fussy again, and Evelyn knew it was time to get him ready for bed. They both stood and Rick lifted him into his arms.
“Are you ready for a bath with your daddy?” Rick asked his son. Alex rubbed his face against his fathers shoulder fussing more, hungry, but he needed a bath. So, both he and Evelyn went upstairs to the bathroom. While Evelyn drew the bath, Rick sat in the rocking chair, and got Alex out of his little shorts outfit. Then he took his diaper off, as Evelyn came back. She held Alex in her arms and he fussed more wanting to be fed.
“Not yet baby,” she said swaying with him. Once Rick was undressed and in the tub she handed Alex down to him. Rick had his legs raised a little and laid Alex on them taking the washcloth and covering his penis so that daddy wouldn’t get sprayed. Baths always relaxed their baby, and Alex found his fist sucking on that while Rick got the mild soap and cleaned him. Once he was all clean Evelyn came with a towel and took him while Rick settled back in the water sighing. He loved his life, and he didn’t have anything about it that he wanted to see changed. It was the sound of clothing falling to the floor that made him open his eyes, and Rick smiled as Evelyn undressed, then settled in the water between his legs. He got the wash cloth and dribbled water over her stomach, and then over her breasts. She sighed leaning her head against his chest. Both of them had missed their long nights of love making, and that would have to be put on hold for a while until her body was healed enough to handle that kind of rigorous activity.
“I miss us,” Evelyn told him, moaning as he rubbed his hands over her stomach, then higher to cup her breasts. He squeezed them gently rubbing over them, then moved his hands back down to her stomach, and was about to do more when they heard Alex start to cry. Rick slid out from behind her, and grabbed a towel rubbing himself dry, then went over the cradle. Alex had rolled onto his back and was not very happy.
“Hey, hey Alex,” Rick said placing him back on his side, and propping the blanket behind him. He knelt down, and rubbed a hand over his side swinging the bed just a little. Alex continued to fuss, so Rick lifted him out against his shoulder, and settled down in the rocking chair.
“Shhhh,” Rick said as Alex cried louder rubbing his face against his shoulder.
“All right, lets see if dad can figure out how to make you feel better,” Rick said as he laid Alex on his lap. His son continued to fuss despite his efforts, the Evelyn walked out.
“Mum to the rescue,” Rick said with a smile on his face, and stood up letting her take a seat. When she was ready, he gave Alex to her, then just like a magical spell Alex was quiet content nursing at her breast.
“I think he is going through a growth spurt, he has wanted me all day,” she informed her husband as she rocked their baby.
“Hmm well I don’t think I blame him,’ Rick replied and got smacked for that.
“Hey what did I say?” he said.
“Your being naughty,” she told him. He sighed.
“But you know you like me that way,” he told her. She smiled at him, and nodded.
“I wouldn’t have you any other way Mr. O’Connell,” she replied, and looked down at her baby who was asleep again.
“If you will burp him, I will put on my slacks and top and we can go for an evening walk,” Evelyn said letting Rick take him. Out of the two of them Rick was the champion burper, and in a moment got a good burp out of Alex.
“Now lets get your little sweater put on you,” Rick said, and put the soft knit sweater on his son, pulling the hood over his head and got little grunts from him as he did so.
“Now lets get daddy ready, and we can got for a walk.” Rick took him to their bed laying him on his tummy, which relaxed him, then went to get dressed. As he did, Evelyn came out from the bathroom dressed, and went to her closet slipping on the harness.
“Why don’t you let me carry him,” he said. She smiled and nodded adjusting the harness to fit him, and when they were ready she helped Rick get Alex situated, then they left for their walk.
They lived on the outskirts of Cairo, and their walk took them a little away to a favorite spring fed off of the Nile. Rick held Evelyn’s hand and kept one hand under Alex supporting him.
“I love our night walks,” she said resting her head against his arm.
“I love them too,” he said.
“It’s so quiet at night, and peaceful. I always feel more at peace with my life at night,” he admitted as the arrived the small oasis. Evelyn spread out the blanket they had brought then they sat down.
“Do you remember the first time we came out here?” he asked as he held her close to him. That time had been magical for both of them.
“Hmm I do. It was a month after our honeymoon, and I was already showing a little. You told me you had this wonderful place to take me to and kept me blindfolded the entire trip. When I saw this I was amazed by it,” she said. He nodded.
“I remember how beautiful your hair looked in the moonlight, and our time in the water.
“We could do that now,” she said.
“But we didn’t bring any towels,” he told her. She stood up, and he watched her take off her blouse, then her brow. When she took off the rest of her cloths he lifted Alex out of the sling and gently place him on the blanket putting his jacket over him then got undressed and went down to the water with her. She had already stepped in and he soon followed her, going under and then came back up pulling her into his arms. When his hands started to stroke down her wet back she shuttered and began to rub her cheeks against his chest. He closed his eyes and continued to work his hands over her back then lower to her bottom.
“Oh Rick,” she said, as he moved his body against hers, as she felt his erection rub between her legs. His lips went to hers and he kissed her hard moving his tongue into her mouth and pushing her head closer. Their teeth raked together and he was starting to feel really good when they both heard a sound they didn’t want to hear in the heat of passion.
“No no,” Evelyn said holding him still. She reached up and pulled his head back down to her and he kissed her one last time.
“We need to see about Alex,” he said. Evelyn knew that, and she loved her son but she missed being in his fathers arms. They walked back over to the Blanket and Evelyn pulled her slacks on chilled then took Alex into her arms as he cried harder.
“Are you being grumpy?” she asked as she kissed his little cheeks and his nose. She tried him at her breast and he latched on.
“You know if he keeps eating like that he’s going to be taller than both of us,” Rick said as he held her against him dressed in just his pants.
“I know, but I think most of it is just wanting to be held, and reassured,” she said as he seemed to have stopped nursing for the moment. She looked down at him and smiled because he was watching her.
“Did you get lonely?” she asked. He was too young to respond and closed his eyes after a moment. Once Rick was dressed, she let him take Alex then pulled on her own cloths, and they headed back to the house ready for bed.
Three sleepless nights had passed, and Rick was awake pacing with Alex in the parlor. The Doctor had reassured them he was healthy, and said some babies were more fussy at night, and Alex happened to be one of those babies. Right now he was quiet resting against his fathers shoulder as Rick carried him around.
“What should we talk about tonight?” Rick asked as he patted Alex’s back gently and turned his head kissing his son.
“Well how about girls? The only one in your life right now is your mum, and she is a very good friend to have. But one day when your older you will meet other girls, and I bet at first you will think they are icky,” He said as he turned and paced the other way.
“But some day you will find a girl who makes your heart stop beating. You will think your in some sort of dream, and you will say really stupid things and wonder how in the world she ever decided to love you, but if you find a girl, a woman Like your mother then you need to hold on to her and not let her go,” He said At that Alex lifted his head trying to find his daddy, and Rick smiled and cradled Alex in his arms.
“Hey buddy daddy’s right here. Are you going to let me get some sleep tonight?” He asked. The light was dim downstairs but Rick could still see his son’s face.
“Do you like these talks?” he asked his son. Alex was content and just watched his father trying to figure things out.
“Well I don’t know about you, but I like this time. However I would like one night in bed with your mum, so maybe we can work out an arrangement,” Rick said as he carried Alex back up to their room. When he arrived, Evelyn was sitting up in bed with tears in her eyes.
“Hey whats wrong?” he asked as he came to the bed and placed Alex in her arms. She kissed her baby and then her husband, and let Alex nurse as Rick settled beside them.
“I came downstairs and I heard what you told Alex,” she admitted.
“I bet you didn’t think I had a soft side,” he teased, then held he close.
“Evie, until I met you I was a selfish...well you pick the word but I was, and the day you walked into that prison was the best day of my life, Minus getting hung but you saved me in more ways than one and you gave me a reason to live, to better my life,” he said, and held her close kissing both of them. Once Alex was asleep Rick put him back in his cradle then lay in bed holding Evelyn. She turned onto her stomach and propped her chin on his chest.
“Make love to me,” she said. He smiled at her.
“Your still healing,” he reminded her. But she didn’t seem to hear him as she lifted up and covered his mouth with hers in a tender passionate kiss, one that started both of their bodies in wanting more. He lifted up her nightgown and prayed that once, just once, Alex would let them have this time together. Gently, he eased her away long enough to get her undressed, then he lifted his hips and pulled off his boxers, the only article of clothing he wore at night, and pulled her on top of him crushing her against him as he kissed her more passionately.
“Rick I want to be a part...” He silenced her with more kisses, and turned them over so that she was under him. The feel of his hands against her body made her moan out, and she covered her mouth trying not to make any noise so Alex would stay asleep. When his lips traveled down to her breasts, she shook her head back and forth lost in the sweet rapture of his kisses against her sensitive flesh.
“Evie,” he whispered, and then covered her breast with his mouth suckling her there, taking in her milk which was for Alex, but right now for him. He drank a little from each breast, then left them, and slid down further on the bed. Evelyn took a pillow, his pillow, and bit down on it screaming into it, as she felt his lips cover her belly. He licked over her belly button, then dipped his tongue into it. That caused her to kick her legs, and he held them still so she wouldn’t hurt him or wake Alex. When he moved lower to her soft thatch of curls, Evelyn thought she would pass out from the shear pleasure he was giving her. He parted her lips with his forefingers and started to lick over the soft skin there, licking over her clit, and then down the walls leading to the opening of her Vagina.
“Rick please,” she gasped out, forgetting about Alex, who seemed for once content to sleep on his own. Rick answered her cries, and dipped his tongue in to her soft flesh being gentle as he pleasured both her and himself. She cried out and put the pillow back into her mouth as he moved his tongue faster and faster into her flesh. After a minute of that, felt the muscles inside of her warm body wrap around his tongue spasming. He lifted himself over her and eased just the tip of his penis in to, her and at the same time both of them orgasmed. He moved the pillow away from her mouth, and kissed her lips as she moaned into his mouth and he moaned into hers Once their bodies had relaxed he eased away from her and rolled them to their side.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked, concerned that he had. Her response was to shake her head.
“You gave me pleasure, just pleasure,” she breathed. He held her closer to him and pulled the cover over them both. Soon sleep took over and for once Alex allowed his parents to have one night at least with just them.
