Hansel made sure that Abi had everything that she needed to keep Robin and Mina for the night. He kissed them both goodbye and then headed to the diner. He could cook but he didn't want to risk messing everything up and Isabel had been kind enough to make a meal for them. He then headed back to the apartment.

Getting Marian out of the apartment had been the hardest part. He'd wanted to set everything up so that he could surprise her. When he got back he had the table set with crystal candle holders and the best plates he could find. He put the food in the oven just to keep it warm as he went to take a shower and change. He needed for everything to be perfect.

Once he was squeaky clean, he changed into the clothes he'd picked out to wear for the evening. It wasn't fancy by normal standards but it was fancy for him. He then went to get the food out of the oven and set the table. He put a small red vase on the table with a single red rose and had silver candles in the holders, ready to be lit.

	When he shifted them she chuckled softly. "Oh, so you were plotting too, hmm?" Marian teased, loosening her grip around his neck so that her arms simply dangled over his shoulders. She raised her left hand just enough to see the bit of sparkle on her finger. She felt a moment of guilt. But only allowed herself that single moment. Hiding it with an easy smile.

	He kissed her softly again. "I did need the walks, but I was plotting too, yes." He smiled, reaching up to move some hair back from her face. "I love you, Marian. More than I thought I could love anyone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I love you too, Hansel. So much. So very very much." And with that the guilt was gone. It had been over a year, and Robin wasn't coming back. She had to move on. She did move on. To a man that wasn't afraid to say he loved her. Wasn't too prideful to let her know he cared. Marian lifted up just enough so that she could kiss him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As he kissed her back, he shifted them so she was on top again, smiling up at her. "Perhaps we should get off the floor." He chuckled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-29 04:36 am UTC (link)
	"We should." She chuckled, leaning up just a little. "The question is do you need to get up off the floor." Marian shifted so that she could raise her weight up off of him, but still managed to remain over him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I need to, but I'm not sure that I can without help." He bit his lip, then sighed a little. His knee had started bothering him the moment he knelt down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I thought that might be the case. Old age and all." Marian teased lightly. Knowing he wasn't that much older than she was. Sure, older than Robin had been, but not too much. She lifted herself up off of him and held out her hand. Bracing her legs so that she knew she had the leverage to draw him up in one pull. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, I am a terribly old man." He chuckled, then groaned as he got to his feet. He tried not to pull too hard on her hand, using it mainly for some extra support. When he was standing up, he brushed himself off. "Thank you, my dear." He kissed her cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're quite welcome, darling." She turned her face up toward the kiss as if his lips were a bit of sunlight. Needing the touch. The love that radiated from it. Her heart had already begun skipping a beat at his faintest touches. Now it seemed to soar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hansel smiled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. He felt as if he needed her in his arms to feel whole again. He closed his eyes for just a moment, then chuckled softly. "I could have sworn that I just heard Robin crying, but I know he's not here." He shook his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Perhaps that's fatherly intuition kicking in, maybe he is." Marian leaned back just a little and checked her front. No. She was, fortunately, not leaking. "But I don't think so." Her arms slipped around his middle. Content to be close. And warm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hunterofwitches 2014-03-30 02:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Perhaps it is." He nodded and started running his fingers up and down her back, sighing softly. After a moment, he bit his lip. "Would it be wrong for me to call and check on them? She's got it under control, right?" This was supposed to be their night and he was worrying about the children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't think it would be wrong to call and check on them at all, darling. But I am fairly sure, whomever you picked to care for our children, she is doing a fine job of it." Marian knew his mind would be set at ease if he heard their coos, or perhaps that they were at least sleeping soundly. It was their first time away from their children. And she couldn't say that part of her wanted to do the same.

	Hansel took a deep breath and let it out slowly before nodding. "You're right, I'm sure they're fine." He smiled. "Abi has taken care of other children on the island without any problems at all." He nodded again. "This night is supposed to be about us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-03-31 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Marian chuckled. "Go call her, it will be on your mind until you do. And I'll be honest, it'll be on mine too." How was she supposed to survive when he was so very endearing? She rose up just as much as she needed and pressed her lips to his for just a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He kissed back and smiled, touching her cheek. "One of the reasons I love you." He kissed her again quickly before limping off to their bedroom for his phone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian followed him at a slower pace, leaning against the doorjam once she reached the room. Her arms crossed below her bosom as she caught her lower lip, and just listened for the call. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After a couple moments of talking and face making, Hansel started to sing. It was the lullaby that he always sang to Mina, to get her to sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-04-02 05:51 am UTC (link)
	Marian couldn't resist, once he began to sing, she came up behind him and loosely wrapped her arms around his waist. Pressing a light kiss against his shoulder. "What about her bear?" She whispered softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hunterofwitches 2014-04-02 05:57 am UTC (link)
	He nodded and kept singing in the tune of the lullaby. "See if Mina's bear is in reach or if he's gotten away from her." He smiled a little and kept singing, giving Marian a thumb's up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-04-02 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Marian smiled against his shoulder. Having heard the song enough times, though she didn't know what they meant but she knew what they were, and started singing along with him, softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hunterofwitches 2014-04-02 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Hansel smiled softly but he kept singing. He would never get tired of singing for his children. Even if it meant interrupting a romantic date to do so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-04-02 07:48 am UTC (link)
	Little did he know that this only added to the romance. There was nothing more attractive than the way he took care of their children. And Marian was in total awe of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Once the babies were back asleep, he hung up the phone and set it on the nightstand, smiling at Marian. "Sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_night_watchman 2014-04-03 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Marian took his face in her hands, and whispered. "Don't ever be sorry for something like that." Raising up she pressed her lips against his, lingering and impassioned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
