Tonks had made Mac’s favorite dessert (thanks to a cooking lesson or two from AJ) and was now cleaning the huge mess she’d made of the kitchen while singing and dancing along to the radio. She was cheating a little bit, using magic to wash and dry the pots while she put things away.
Mac was working in the orchard and when the day was done, he started in, stopping out by the backdoor to use the cold pump and wash off, shedding his coveralls and splashing water all over, with the soap used to scrub himself. It was an indulgence that made him feel good, in an odd way, reminding him of winter days back at the homestead, and having to shower outside when the main pipes froze. Truth to tell, it hardly bothered him at all, now. He strode inside, rubbing off with a plain towel and smiled as he peered into the kitchen.
“Hello, nurse!”
Tonks turned at the sound of his voice and smiled brightly, bouncing over to him. "Hello you" she replied before reaching up to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him soundly.
Mac kissed her hard, lifting her into a hug and whirling her around for a moment, hands planted on her ass and lower back, and kissing her soundly as only he would. He shuddered as he slowly lowered her. “Mmm, how are you?”
“After that hello, I’m great” she smiled at him, “I’m making your favorite” she added, her fingers stroking through his hair lovingly, “How was work?”
Mac smiled wider. He did not deserve this woman. Wow!
“It was good, Laura is adapting as a new worker, and makes me tired just seeing her work. Having her around makes me far more assured that the orchard will be in good hands with us taking time to be together now and then from it.” He nodded.
Tonks nodded, "I'm thinking of training Bo to take over my job so I can help out too" she said, "If you wanted me to of course" she added with a smile. She wanted to spend more time with him and working on the orchard was hard but fun.
Mac smiled. “I was thinking of that, yes, and more… Would you be interested in learning more about the business? It would mean spending some time out East…” He smiled softly. “And you’d get to meet my Granny.”
“I’d love that” Tonks said with a bright smile, “Can we really?” she asked, “Who will look after this place?”
“Laura can and Jubilee, for a short time, with AJ being the boss. She knows how to run an orchard as well as I do.” He grinned at Tonks. “A few weeks or more out there, and Bo can live here, and Laura and Jubes at the other place, and with Aj running things here everything will be fine.” Mac nodded. He kissed Tonks softy.
Tonks returned the kiss and hugged him tightly, “Let’s do it” she said happily, “Embrace our life together by working to be the best at what we do” she nodded before laughing with happiness.
Mac grinned and kissed her, hard, snuggling her close, and found that he knew, without a doubt that life would be pretty fucking okay now. He had a lovely wife and a business and a family. And that was good.
Tonks snuggled close too, content and happy with their plans. She had no doubts either that their life would be great, they had each other and everything else seemed to be slotting into place. They really were the lucky ones.
