Bedtime

Jacob carried Tessa to the bath and then set her down. He had really gone all out. He had candles burning all around and had filled the tub with bubbles. "When you're feeling better, we can go to the bath houses. There's a giant heated tub that we can all get into. Remember like that first night in the hot tub?"

"Do I remember? Jacob, I think about it all the time. Everyday I replay it."

Jacob smiled and said. "Yeah. So do I. C'mon lets get you undressed." Jacob grabbed the bottom of her dress and started to lift it.

“ You really don’t have to stay Jacob, I’ll be fine.”

“Are you kidding?” Jacob chuckled. “ Darlin’ I’m never letting you out of my sight again.”

Jacob helped Tessa pull her dress up over her head then stood back and looked at her. She was wearing a matching red bra and panties, her pregnant breasts pouring from them. Her swollen belly stretched against her skin and looked huge against her petite frame.

“Still a naughty witch I see. I hope you brought more of this kind of stuff Tessa.”

Tessa smiled at Jacob, he always knew how to make her laugh even when she wasn’t feeling like it.

“C’mon darlin, I don’t have all day,” Jacob said as he motioned for her to take her underwear off.

She unclasped her bra and took it off slowly. It felt good. Her breasts were so sore from being penned up in that tight, uncomfortable thing.

Tessa’s nipples stood out like two ripe cherries and Jacob was dying to take a bite. He hadn’t seen his wife naked in over twenty years. He lifted his handsand gently touched Tessa’s breasts. Goosebumps appeared under his hand as he circled her nipples with his thumbs. Jacob took a deep breath and tried to suppress the erection building in his pants.

Then he left her breastsand ran his hands down her belly. He grinned at the round firm abdomen standing in front of him. “Tessa you look so beautiful.”

“Oh come on, I look like a whale. You don't have to be nice.”

“You look amazing. So fucking beautiful. I’m sorry I missed all this. I’m so sorry. I wanted to give you children Tessa. I’m sorry I left you like that. I never should've left you in Savannah. Oh, I was so stupid.” Jacob said as he started to falter. His eyes teared and his throat burned.

“Jacob ,baby, that’s not your fault. Our life together was perfect Jacob. You were the perfect husband. I’m not sorry for a single day we had, not one.”

Jacob glanced back up to her face and smiled. “Maybe someday I can talk you into having one of my pups.”

“Dear God, can I have these two first,” laughed Tessa.

Jacob chuckled, “Yeah fine, now let’s see the good stuff, take them panties off girl.”

Tessa pushed her panties off her hips then shimmied her underwear down her legs and stepped out of them. Then Jacob took her hand and steadied her as she stepped into the bathtub.

He sat beside her on a stool and washed her hair. Then, rubbed her neck and back. “Sorry I don’t have that great shower we used to have Tessa.” Tessa smiled thinking about the nearly daily fuckings she got from Jacob in that shower. “Me too.”

When they were done in the bath, Jacob helped Tessa dress and comb her long, dark curly hair. Then he picked her back up in his arms and carried her to the kitchen where Logan and Marissa were waiting. “Isabelle brought over some food y’all, have a seat,” said Logan. Jacob set Tessa down and she sat beside Logan.

“Oh my baby,” Tessa said as she reached for Marissa but was stopped by Logan.

“Tessa eat sweetheart. Marissa can wait a few minutes.”

Tessa glared at Logan. “She’s right here Tessa, eat,” he demanded.

“Where’s Haldir? Has anyone seen him? I thought he’d come see me,” Tessa said. She was a little hurt. He had been like a father to her for a long time and his absence right then seemed unusual. He had always been there for her when she needed him.

“He went back for Erik.”

“Oh good. Do you really think Erik’s coming? He’s a teenager now, it’s going to change his life so much to be here,” Tessa said.

“Honestly, I don’t know Tessa. You’re right. It’s a big fucking change to be here, there’s no internet or Xbox. But, you’re his Momma and he loves you,” said Logan.

“I don’t want him to be unhappy because of me,” said Tessa, starting to tear up.

“No one believes any of this is your fault Tessa,” said Logan.

She sucked back her tears and played with her food.

Jacob said, “Tessa darlin’, whatever happens, it’s meant to be. It’s Fate. If Erik stays it’s because his Fate is waiting for him there. Someday, we’re all going to be here just like the four of us are here now. Don’t be sad. You’re going to see everybody you love again. I promise you.”

Tessa smiled and nodded as she wiped her eyes.

That night, Jacob carried Tessa to bed so Logan could tuck in Marissa. He laid her down and sat beside her, pulling the blankets over her.Them he leaned down and kissed her gently on her lips. Tessa reached her hand up and put it lightly on the side of his face.

Logan came back and walked around the bed then took off his clothes and crawled in bed beside Tessa. Jacob stood up and rubbed the back of his neck then said, “Well goodnight then darlin.” But, Tessa grabbed his hand before he could walk away.

“No Jacob, you stay.”

“There’s no room Tess,” he said.

“There’s plenty of room Jacob,”said Logan, “ Tessa needs love and affection, so we’re going to give it to her. Healers orders.”

“I’m not going to only be with my husbands every other night, that’s not going to work for me anymore,” said Tessa as she sat up and scooted over in bed.”Get in here and love me dammit.”

Jacob smiled widely and said, “Yes ma’am.” Then he pulled his shirt over his head and threw it on a chair. Tessa rested her head on her hand as she sat up and watched Jacob pull off his shoes and socks, then take off his pants. She was hoping he'd keep going but his underwear stayed in place.

Tessa backed up against Logan and he put his arm over her hip. He always enjoyed her ass against him most anyway. He loved his beautiful wife, but seeing her from behind was a special kind of hot for Logan. He fantasized about bending her over and pulling her hair as he pounded away at her. He hadn't been able to for months now and he missed it like crazy. Then Jacob got under the blankets and laid beside Tessa. He took her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers and placed it on the bed between them.

“We’re going to need a bigger bed. I’ll see what I can dig up,” said Jacob.

“No this is perfect Jacob,” said Tessa. "I want this every night forever."
