157 Astila asks Aisling to go on a date

In bed that night Astila cuddles his wife close. He loves the slight swell of her stomach . Thinking to himself that they need to go shopping for maternity clothes soon. 

" hey babe would you do me the honor of going out on a date with me. I know I am on call for Valentine's Day . I want to do something with you to celebrate it. It can be either before or after you choose. We need to think about getting you some new clothes soon." He kisses the top of her head . She snuggled closer to him loving the warmth he gives her. 

"anytime any place I am always ready for a date. I don't need to get new clothes I have trunks full in the attic. I have so many trunks of clothes from different eras. I also have the ones Debra gave me when I first found out. I was going to ask Moll and Maureen to help me look through them to see what the three of us need. I will still need to get some things but I don't want to have a lot that will be of no use after they are born. What did you think of the treasure we got tonight?" Looking up at him to gage his reaction. 

"I think that it's an amazing gift. Do you mind if I have Salali make a few traditional swaddling clothes from some of the cotton. She is a great seamstress. Maybe a set for each of the new babies. " Aisling sits up quickly and kisses her husband . She picks up her phone and starts a search for swaddling clothes patterns. He sighs he had to bring it up so much for getting to snuggle for awhile. She is to excited now to settle down. He notices that she is texting . Then a few moments later his sister and the others are heading back to the attic. Astila covers his head with a pillow in frustration. He is taking her phone away when they go on their date. No interruptions allowed. 

the ladies begin to open trunks looking through the clothes. They found a trunk filled with infant clothes. One with maternity clothes as well. By the time midnight came they had sorted through several trunks making piles that would need to be washed. Only a few were in need of repair or to old fashion to be used. Salali takes the ones in need of repair or just out of date to do something with. The rest they leave to be washed. Tired now they head to bed. When Aisling gets into bed Astila is sleeping. She smiles tenderly at him and falls instantly to sleep. The next day Astila begins making plans for his date with his wife. He clears his schedule and since he has a three day weekend coming up makes reservations. Calling Maureen he has her and Remi pack her suitcase since it's to be a surprise. Remi picks out a few of the maternity clothes and that has been freshly cleaned. Salali packs her brothers clothing. When Astila gets home they pack the car before Aisling gets home from work. They are all prepared when she arrives. Aisling knows something is up when Astila comes out from taking a shower . Looking at her he smirks. 

"I will have my phone but it is only to be called in case of an emergency. If anyone calls her unless it an emergency no one is to contact us while we are on our date." With that he takes his wife's hand and they leave. Aisling looks at him and rolled her eyes. 

Waving bye to everyone they leave. She is wondering where he is taking her that she could not have her phone. Thinking they are just going to dinner she looks out the window. Noticing they are going down the mountainside and going towards Maryland she turns and asks him. 

"where are we going for dinner that we are heading towards Maryland?" He smiles are her

"where we are going is about three hours away. So you can take a nap if your tired. It's a surprise but I'm sure you will love it. " 

she starts to say something but he gives her a stern look and she stops and closes her eyes. Aisling was more tired than she thought. She fell asleep before they even reached Baltimore. Astila always likes watching her sleep it's the only time she is still. It is dark by the time that they reach their destination. Astila wakes her and hands the keys to the valet. They the bell hop gets their luggage out of the trunk and Aisling wakes up when the trunk door slams. 

Looking around she sees they are in front of a hotel but where. Astila comes to her side to take her hand. She looks around and starts to ask where they are he just shushed her. When they walk in it's a large lobby not much in decoration just a large desk. There are escalators to the right of the door. She hears a lot of bells ringing so she thinks that they may be at a casino. After checking in they go to an elevator to the left of the desk and head up to their room. The room is huge and has a large king size bed. Astila goes over and pulls the curtains apart and holds out his hand. Aisling looks out over the beach the moon silvery glow illuminated the night sky . Aisling gasps at the beauty before her. The reflection of the moon on the moving water. Astila whispers in her ear. 

"welcome to Atlantic City. These next two days is our Valentine's Date. We can shop ,walk the boardwalk , walk the beach ,watch the Sunrise and sunsets, and of course gamble. I have tickets to see a show I know that you love Brett Michaels so I got tickets. I wanted to do something special for our first Valentine's Day. Our live have gone so fast that we have had very little real alone time. Truthfully I can only count four days that we have been completely just us no family about. I don't mind but I want some time with just you before the babies are born. "

Aisling reaches up and kisses her husband. 

"I'm sorry , I have never thought to ask if you liked having so many people around. Before you came I only really had Onacona and Maureen for company. Except when the family would descend on the house or needed something. Debra and Sam were at the house everyday but that was mostly so I could take care of them. At night I was always alone now I have you and the house is filled with love . You know that once the house by the lake is finished that they will move there. Salali hasn't said how long she is staying. I know Yona will not want to live with us. So soon it could just be us again. Moll wants to give Salali her house as a wedding present when she decides to marry. Inola says that out of the three of you she is the only one who does not have her own home. I like having everyone there I feel safe. For the first time in my life I feel safe and truly loved for me. Thank you so much for loving me." 

Astila picks her up and carries her to the bed. Laying her down he lays beside her. Pulling her into his arms. 

" it's me who should be thanking you. You gave me a real connection to my family. We were close but we always kept our distance. Now there is no distance with us. You made me want to settle down. I don't want to go anywhere else but our home . I look forward to coming home at night. To have you come in and smile at me. It makes everything worth while. I love that we have such a loving family and yes sometimes I would like some alone time with you. We just need to make time for ourselves to be alone. I am relieved that there are so many around. That way if you need anything I know someone is always with you. " he kisses his wife deeply reveling in the warmth of her. His hands start to unbutton her shirt. He notices how much easier they open. Her breast have started to grow larger since being pregnant and are spilling out of her bra. She was already endowed with large perfect breast. He never realized how much he liked them until now. So soft and yet so firm. Making quick work of releasing them from their prison . He gently squeezed them watching her close her eyes with pleasure was his undoing. The pent up desire he has had begins to overwhelme him. Taking her mouth roughly he kisses her deeply while his hand finds their way to her waist band. Quickly stripping her he stares at her body while heavily breathing. She is perfect in every way. Even the soft mound of her stomach excites him. Spreading her legs he lays between them . Bringing his lips to gently kiss her stomach while his fingers find her sweet spot. Aisling arches her hips to the rhythm of his movements. Soft moans escaping her lips. He can't take much more he rises and plunges into her feeling complete. Whispering in her ear. 

"I love you."
