Who: Lincoln and Brittany Where: Their home When: Night Why: They talking about expanding their family Rating: TBA
Link had a busy day today as far as home maintenance was concerned. He had moved between various homes with various projects. One home he had to fix the garbage disposal, another home, he had to fix the gutter. Then a dishwasher, a dryer unit, his bigger task was putting in a second fuse box in another house and putting everything on its own breaker. Then of course he went home to fix the sink and his own dishwasher. But then he left again, this time not going to do a job, but go to his near nightly routine of visiting a bar and having a few drinks.
Now he could have all the beer he wanted in the house. Brittany was fine with beer. The kids knew not to touch it and if they did, well, it was beer. They likely wouldn't like it anyway. But she didn't allow the harder stuff in the house from when after leaving the Military, Link went through a dark period where all he did was drink. So she nipped that in the bud real quick, saying it was not welcomed in her house. So he went elsewhere to drink, but he didn't become dead stone drunk either. He had one DUI on his record and that was a wake up call enough.
But he sat at his usual spot, drinking his whiskey. He had brought out his phone, which he normally didn't. When he went to drink, he usually stayed away from social media because he would be focused on drinking and conversing with the other patrons. But today was different, he was speaking with his wife and his son. Namely about all the God damn animals they had in the house. Which led to them talking about the possibility of having another baby. They were still young enough. They started a family super young. He knew the kids may object to it but once they showed them nothing changed and they still equally annoyed them, things would be fine.
She wanted him home and well, who was he to not give her what she wanted? He downed his glass, paid his tab and bid everyone farewell. He drove home and got out of his truck to enter the house. The house smelled good, Brittany had finally put dinner on the table after he left. He moved to the kitchen where she was cleaning up. He moved up behind her and grabbed her behind, giving her a squeeze as he brought his head to her neck, giving her a playful raspberry that got him a slap in the chest. He smiled and pulled her close, kissing her lips.
He pulled back and moved to the microwave, where he found his plate and pulled it out. He moved over to the fridge, retrieving a beer and came to sit at the table and began to eat and drink his beer. He seen his son moving in to do something and kicked out his leg, kicking Remy in the butt. What? "That's for looking funny. And bringing in more animals!" He settled back down. "You get both of those from your mama." He laughed and attempted to dodge the rag she threw at him. Which, he didn't, it still hit him on the shoulder. He pulled the rag down and waited for Brittany to walk passed him and he twirled the rag in his hand and slapped it against her butt. Oh there she went. "HEY! HEY! HEY!" He snapped. "I'M EATING! I LET YOU EAT IN PEACE!" Of course he wasn't being serious, he was smiling throughout the whole thing. He did, however, pull Brittany down in his lap and held her while he ate his dinner.
When he was finished, he helped Brittany stand and got up himself, scraping what was left of the plate into the garbage and took to washing it, since Brittany had already done the dishes for the night. He put his plate and fork in the strainer and moved over to the table to grab his beer and took a long, finishing drink before disposing of it.
He walked over to Brittany, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. Remy had went on in the other room so it was just the two of them. "So are we serious?" He asked. "About adding another dependent on my taxes?"
