Who: Reed Richards, Sue Richards (and Franklin, too!)
What: Sue and Reed get ready for bed, but somebody didn't get the memo. So. They start discussing names. He does need a name, after all.
Where: Sue and Reed's Bedroom, Baxter Building, New York City, New York
When: Saturday, November 24 2012
Rating: PG. I don't think I should have to warn for pregnancy, but I will anyway. Just in case. Oh, and fluff. ;)
Sue had a ritual of taking baths at the end of day. After long days, they were warm and relaxing. They soothed her. Nowadays, it also helped relieve the aches and pains that came along with her pregnancy. The pain in her sore muscles eased up in the bath, allowing her to relax.
Resting her head on the bath pillow, Sue closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. She went to a Zen place. At least, for a little while. Eventually, the water cooled off; Sue let the water drain completely before getting out of the bath -- very carefully.
She sat on the toilet while drying off and applying cocoa butter, as best she could, to her skin to prevent stretch marks. It smelled nice. Oh, and there was the whole needing to pee thing, too. Cinching a robe, she dried her hair and brushed her teeth.
Sue smiled when she emerged from the master bath and saw Reed getting ready for bed. She crossed the room, to be closer to him. She smiled affectionately.
“Not burning the midnight oil tonight?” she queried. She didn’t mind it. She knew that most of his projects -- most of his concerns lately -- were centered around making sure they were prepared for when the baby arrived. It was almost crazy to think she was in her third trimester. Where had the time gone?
