James carefully opened his front door and crept up the stairs. He peered in on his sleeping children before near-silently entering his bedroom.

Sliding into his bed, James sighed softly as his wife's arms wrapped around him and she rested her head on his back. “Bad day?”

“Not the best.” He could hardly tell her that they had lost three people in the past. He did, however, quietly moan when her fingers kneaded his tense muscles.

Drifting asleep as he slowly relaxed, James murmured “Love you” to the one person he know he could always depend on.

Awwwww! That was sweet ... "Not the best", surely has to be the biggest understatement of the century lol

Thanks, I do like a bit of Lester at home. Hee, it must be, but he wouldn't want her to worry (and he couldn't (wouldn't) tell her anyway). Glad you liked it.

Awwww! Yay (well, not to the three people in the past bit, but still). I do love happily married Lester.

Thanks, I love a happily married Lester too (Mmm *pokes for Min* *eg*). I'm sure Abby, Connor and Danny are pleased you are not yaying them stuck in the past *nods*

*twitches* Well, I got that history essay done finally, so how 'bout we set a goal for me to finish the Min!fic by Christmas? *g*

Hee! Probably!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-11-29 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yay for the history essay!

*snorts* I don't have to sharpen my claws (or employ various aerial creatures) to get you to write it, do I? *feeds the bunnies*

[identity profile] canadian-jay.livejournal.com 2010-11-29 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Hopefully not. *looks shifty* And stop that, you! The bunny doesn't need any feeding - its the muse whats being stubborn now! ;P

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-11-29 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
*eyes the shifty looking birdie* Bunnies always like food, whether or not they actually do anything once fed is another question. What does the muse need as encouragement? (and should I really ask?)

[identity profile] canadian-jay.livejournal.com 2010-11-29 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
*looks shiftier* LOL Erm... no idea. I'll be sure to tell you when I find out. *g*

Awww, poor Lester. He's got a tough job... good thing someone loves him. Very sweet.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Lester quite agrees about his tough job, although you got a quirked eyebrow for the rest of the comment. Glad you enjoyed it.

For? That it's good his wife loves him? *confused*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
No, he's quite happy with that. *so am I*

Nothing like sleeping children to make you feel relaxed... *g* This is lovely :)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He just had to check in on them (and I blame the last prompt *g*) Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[identity profile] quillori.livejournal.com 2010-11-29 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, sweet. It'd be nice to think he had a home life like that to come back to - I'd love to see more of it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. He needs a home life something like that - maybe, if the muse comes back (I'll never say never).

[identity profile] echo-fangirl.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's lovely. I'm glad Lester has someone he can be safe with. :)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I think our Lester needs that, someone he can let his guard down with.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2010-12-05 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, poor Lester. At least he has someone to hug him on the bad days.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2010-12-05 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Lester's got someone to hug him any day he asks, but especially on the bad ones.
