Age of Aquarius (c)

Tyler kept close to her, arm around her waist after they'd buckled in. He kissed her hair. "It'll be ok, baby. I got ya." The helicopter lifted, lurching forward. He gave her a squeeze of support.

Maggie pulled back to look at him, searching his eyes desperately. "Do you hate me? Because I will completely understand it if you do."

[Mush]

Kathryn was freaking out on the inside during the flight to Tokyo, and the long flight to New York. She tried her hardest not to show it on the outside, though. She regularly smiled over at Tyler, assuring him she was fine.

Teddy laughed, rolling his eyes. "Of course I don't hate you. Come on, Mags." He pressed his forehead against hers, kissing the tip of her nose. "I love you."

[Script]

Tyler squeezed her hand as they landed in New York. "Ya know. I've never been here." As they were getting their luggage and heading out to find a taxi, he looked over at her. "How 'bout we get a hotel for the night. Do some sightseein' tomorrow before we go to Vermont." The Veteran's Association had already gotten a house on hold for them.

[Script]

((Whoops!))

Maggie sniffled. "You...love me..." She threw her arms around his neck, leaning into him. "Oh, Teddy, I love you. I've missed you so much."

[Kathryn]

"Y'know..." Kathryn said, staring out at the nearby skyline. "That sounds like the best idea ever." She had been to New York once when she was a young teenager with her parents, but the prospect of going there with Tyler seemed more enjoyable. "It can be like a delayed honeymoon..."

Teddy just smiled to himself, hugging her back. Apparently new mothers weren't to be understood, either. "I love you, and I love Daisy. My two girls." Teddy then thought of his two sisters, which made him think of his mother. "Sh--sherbet," he corrected himself. "My mom is a grandma, and she doesn't know it yet."

[Script]

Tyler grinned at her, telling the taxi driver to take them somewhere nice. They ended up at the Waldorf-Astoria. He led her in, kissing her, got them a room, then immediately threw himself face-first onto the bed with a muffled. "Holy shit, this feels amazing."

Maggie bit her lip, looking a little terrified. "She'll be so mad at me...You call her." She pointed at the phone, getting up to get Daisy, on the pretense that she needed to feed her.

[Mush]

Kathryn crawled on top of him, lying on her stomach on top of him. She kissed the back of his neck, lips lingering there.

Teddy sputtered, watching Maggie walk back to a room with Daisy. He cursed her under his breath before going over to the phone and dialing his home phone number. "Hey, mom! Yeah, it's me. Got here okay, yeah. Maggie's fine. Yep. Uh, mom, there's...uh...somethin' I gotta tell you..."

[Moonshine]

Tyler moaned, face buried in the blanket. He turned his face to the side. "You know what I want? A shower. A real one."

Maggie sighed, feeling guilty, so she walked back out to the main room to witness the phone call. Daisy was cradled in her arm, mouth attached to her bare breast.

[Kathryn]

"Ooh, I want a bubble bath," Kathryn replied, her lips resting on his cheek.

Before the word 'grandma' had finished coming out of Teddy's mouth, he held the receiver away from his ear as his mom shrieked with excitement. He laughed, telling her everything once she'd calmed down a bit.

[Script]

He rolled over to get off the bed. "Yes. Bubbles. Now." He grabbed her hand, tugging her to the bathroom. He turned on the faucet.

Maggie grinned, feeling better now that she was clearly not despised. She switched the baby to her other breast, moving to sit on the couch, waiting for him to get off the phone.

[Mush]

Kathryn tied her hair up in a messy bun so as not to get her hair wet; she would worry about washing her hair tonight. She gazed around the bathroom, taking in its opulence. When her eye fell upon candles sitting on a small shelf above the tub, she gasped. She grabbed a box of matches on the counter and immediately lit them.

Teddy was forced to explain more, describe more, and just talk more. He rolled his eyes at Maggie, mouthing 'talk, talk, talk' to her, smiling.

[Script]

Tyler grinned, finding a bottle of bath bubbles, adding it to the water. While it finished filling, he stripped down, then slid up to her to unbutton her blouse, kissing her skin as he exposed it. "I love you."

Maggie giggled, moving the baby to her shoulder to be burped. When he was finally off the phone, she had just put Daisy back in the swing, where she yawned, ready for another baby nap. Maggie moved back to sit on the couch, blouse still unbuttoned. "So, she's happy then?"

[Kathryn]

"How much?" Kathryn asked cheekily, smiling as she watched him undress her.

"Let me put it this way," Teddy said, making his way over to the couch. "When she's happy, she talks." He smirked, plopping down next to her. Then, he remembered something that popped briefly into his mind when he'd first seen Daisy. "Hey, Mags... I thought you said you were on the pill back then."

[Script]

Tyler bent down to kiss the tops of her breasts, pushing her blouse off and to the floor, hands moving to her skirt. "More than anything. More than I've ever loved anybody."

Maggie blushed, chewing on her lip. "I was...I guess it didn't really matter much." She licked her lips, put her hand gently on his. "Teddy...tell me the truth. Are you...upset about all this..?"

[Mush]

Kathryn looked at him expectantly, eyes wide. 'More than anything' was overused, not very original.

Teddy chuckled, holding her hand tightly. "No," he shook his head. "I wanted kids eventually. With you." He leaned closer to her, pressing his forehead against hers. He trailed a finger down her neck, following the line of her open blouse, down the valley between her breasts.
