Who: Susan Bones & Dean Thomas When: Monday, February 5th, Evening Where: Bones Manor, Main House What: Interrupted Progression Rating: Medium.
Susan was tired. Ronnie had been fighting a bit of a cold over the last few days and Ron had been handling a big case at work. They were ships passing in the night on good days, but the last few had been exceptionally rough. She finally collapsed on the sofa a bit before dinner on Monday, a cup of tea in hand and a headache throbbing behind her eyes.
Being a mother was truly amazing. Susan adored their daughter and the family she and Ron had created and were continuing to build fulfilled her in a way she hadn't known was possible. Her free hand moved to rest on her stomach, smiling softly as her baby boy kicked within her. He was an active little one, far more active than his sister had been.
Dropping her head to the back of the sofa, Susan closed her eyes and sighed. If the stars aligned just so she'd be able to nap for just a few minutes before Ronnie woke up again. All she needed was a little sleep, she told herself. Hearing footsteps, Susan's eyes snapped open and small smile graced her lips. "Hi," she said to Dean softly. "I didn't realize you were home."
