Nicko

"NICKO!"

My eyes opened and I sleepily blinked, looking around me. I was in Mia's nursery, in the rocking chair. She was asleep on my chest, her face still red and tear-stained from her recent crying fit. Lately she had been fussy and wasn't sleeping through the night, so it was my job to get her to settle down. I didn't mind though, it was worth the hours I spent holding her. She would cuddle into my neck and let out small whimpers when I rubbed her back.

"Did you hear me?" I looked up to see Demi in the doorway.

"Yeah." My voice was raspy. "Sorry I fell asleep with her. What's up?"

"It's like midnight." She sounded annoyed.

"I'm sorry. Did you need me to do something for you?"

She sighed and walked over, gently taking Mia and putting her back in her crib. Then she took my hand and pulled me up and led me by the hand into our bedroom. Demi pushed me back onto the bed then climbed in herself and pulled the covers over us. Then, she cuddled into my neck and threw her leg around me.

"Why do you seem so angry?" I said softly, putting my arms around her.

"I apparently cannot sleep without you holding me and it's kind of annoying. I wake up when you leave to get Mia and I can't fall back asleep until you get back and this time you didn't come back for so long and it got me mad."

I chuckled and kissed her temple. "I'm sorry baby. I didn't know."

"It's fine." Her tone was sharp and I sighed, this was the part of her pregnancy that was less than ideal.

"Okay."

We were both silent for a few moments, until through the baby monitor came a low cry.

"Oh my fucking god." Demi groaned, pushing away from me and putting her hands on her face.

"She's just fussy."

"Check her temp, maybe she's sick or something. It's in the top left cabinet."

I nodded and kissed her lips lightly. "I love you. And we love our kids, both of them."

"I know." She murmured, keeping her hands on her face.

I got up and went to the nursery where Mia was standing up in her crib, more tears coming down her cheeks. I carried her into the bathroom and took her temperature, stopping when I saw it was high, nearly a 104.

"Demi?" I called out, and heard her stand up, groaning as she walked into the bathroom.

"What is it?" She rasped.

"She has a pretty high fever, 104."

"Shit." Demi sighed. "Give me her." When I handed her over Mia's head rolled onto Demi's shoulder, pathetic whimpers coming out of her mouth. "Get the children's tylenol. Same place."

Quickly, I grabbed the medicine and watched as Demi filled up the dropper and put it in Mia's mouth. Mia whined a bit, but got it down then cuddled into Demi, sniffling miserably.

"She's probably hot too. I'll get her onesie off, you go get some of the frozen teething sticks and two bags of frozen peas."

I ran off to do Demi's bidding, then took the stairs two at a time to the bathroom. I stopped just outside the door though, when I heard Demi speaking.

"It's okay baby girl. I know you don't feel good. I know, it's okay. Mommy loves you."

I smiled widely and peered in to see Demi holding a diaper-clad Mia against her chest, murmuring in her ear. "Here's the peas."

Demi nodded and rubbed Mia's back. "Let's just take her into our room. She's just clingy because she's sick and tired."

"Okay."

We put Mia on her stomach in between us and Demi wrapped the peas in a towel before holding it on the back of her neck. Mia was content now, chewing on a frozen yogurt stick and staring at nothing while Demi rubbed her back soothingly. Within ten minutes, she was fast asleep.

"She'll be fine." Demi murmured, then settled down. "You should get some sleep. She'll be up at six."

I sighed and gently moved Mia to my other side, so she could lay against me, then opened my arm for Demi, giving her a small smile.

"Nicko it's fine. I don't want Mia to fall off."

"She won't." I kissed Demi's neck gently. "I told you I won't let anything happen to her. She barely moves when she's asleep and I'll feel her wake up. I just want to hold you."

She gave me an annoyed look but rolled over and put her head on my shoulder, a small smile playing on her lips when I put my hand around her back so it rested on her bump. Then I slid it down to her butt, rubbing it through her pajama pants.

"What are you doing?" Thankfully, there was laughter in her voice.

"Rubbing your ass." I murmured, and heard her giggle.

"I know, but why?"

"Because I want to." I opened one eye to look down at her. "We haven't had sex in five weeks."

"I know that." She said, and sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Baby I was kidding." I moved my hand back to her belly. "This is more important to me than sex and I know you're starting to get uncomfortable so it's fine. Really. I just missed your butt."

Demi kissed my neck gently and leaned her forehead against my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too Demi."

"DADA!" I woke up to Mia hitting my cheeks and Demi groaning, shoving her face into my underarm. I closed my eyes for a moment and suddenly Mia's foot landed directly on the space where my legs meet and I yelped, curling forward and knocking Demi off of me.

"What the hell?" She groaned, as I pulling Mia away and grabbed my crotch with another groan. "What happened?!"

"She hit my dick." I rasped, and heard Demi laugh. "It's not funny she could've broken something."

"I think it still works." Demi sat up and grabbed Mia, kissing her forehead. "Good girl."

"No fair." I lifted my head and pouted at Demi who laughed and kissed my lips.

"Too bad baby. Now get up, I'm hungry."

After I managed to get downstairs, I made breakfast for Demi and I, while Mia ate some cut up bananas. Once Mia was in her playpen with her stuffed animals, I stood in front of Demi who was on the couch.

"Max wants me to go out with them tonight."

"Is that so?" She murmured, not looking up from her book.

"Dems." I put my finger under her chin. "Are you okay with that?"

She raised her eyebrows. "Do you think I wouldn't be?"

"I don't know." I cocked an eyebrow too. "Are you?"

She looked thoughtful and closed her book. She stood up, her eyes innocent, then her hand, nails and all, grabbed the entirety of my junk, her newly manicured nails dangerously close to puncturing my balls.

The noise that came out of my mouth was a cross between a yelp and a scream. "Ow! Okay! Ow! What did I do?!"

"Nothing."She said calmly, as if she wasn't standing in the middle of the living room with her hand holding my dick hostage. "At least, nothing yet." She smiled and tugged suddenly, making me hunch over, following her hand with my hips. "But as you pointed out last night we haven't had sex in five weeks. I may be out of service, but this-" She glanced pointedly at her hand. "Is still mine."

"Okay! I know! I know! Please let go."

Suddenly her hand softened and a very different sensation ran through my body. She began to palm me through the thin layer of my pajama pants, rubbing me in all the right places. I glanced towards the other room. Mia had her back to us, engrossed in her toys, so we were safe from little eyes.

"Fuck Demi." I let out a soft groan.

"Do you still want me to let go?"

"I... ah, shit. Demi-"

She placed her lips firmly on mine and I stifled a moan against her lips. Then, she completely pulled away, smirking and stepping around me.

"Have a good time tonight."

I panted and gripped the edge of the couch, closing my eyes. I felt Demi's hand touch my back and she leaned against me, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"I'm sorry." She giggled. "That was mean."

"It was cruel." I muttered, and felt her laugh and kiss my neck.

"I just wanted to make sure I could still do that to you."

I sighed and turned around, taking her hand and putting it on my obvious erection. "I think it's pretty clear that you'll always do this to me."

Demi bit her lip and smiled, leaning up and kissing me gently. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Do you?" She tilted her head adorably and I sighed, smiling back.

"Of course I do."

"Good." She pecked my lips again. "We're having people over tomorrow by the way." She pursed her lips, trying not to smile. "And we may or may not be telling you the gender then."

"Does anyone know but you?"

"No." She giggled. "I wouldn't tell anyone before you."

"Good." I felt my chest tighten. "I'm excited. I want to know so bad."

"Maybe..." My pants tightened as she dropped her voice to a raspy, sexy tone. "You could make me tell you."

I swallowed hard and shook my head. "Jesus christ Demi, what the hell has gotten into you?"

"This is fun." She giggled. "Making you sweat a little bit."

"It's more than a little I can assure you of that."

"And you're sure you'll be okay tonight?" The humor was gone from her voice and she bit her lip in concern.

"I'll be fine."

"I'm asking if you'll be okay. I don't want you getting drunk and getting into fist fights with the first person that pisses you off."

"I'm not going to do that baby." I murmured, my chest tightening as I remembered the difficulties we've had when I went out before.

"Promise?"

I leaned my forehead against hers. "Promise."
