Amaleez had lived on her own most of her life, while she could cook, it was far from five star. At least he could cook very well. Or very well compared to her meager skills. Amaleez did honestly feel bad for Esmerelda having to help them out as much as she was. The poor woman had enough to do probably. It wasn’t like she needed a new weight put on her shoulders. Esmerlda had done her time with Nicholas, the last thing she needed was two more, and they were her grandchild. Not to mention Amaleez liked taking care of them herself. She didn’t need help from everyone else as much as she loved the other woman. It was just her natural stubborn streak to refuse all help.

Amaleez couldn’t remember the last time that Nicholas and herself had gone anywhere just the two of them. She couldn’t remember the last time she got out of the house for that matter. The coffee shop used to be a normal for them. But even that had disappeared. The only real other time in the past few months had been the hospital. And that was hardly a fun place to go. Well yes her child had been born that time but still. It didn’t matter. The last time they had any fun at all she couldn’t even remember. Maybe they could have a weekend. Have Esmerelda take the children or something. She was sure the woman would enjoy it. But she didn’t want to bug either of the crawlers or use up their kindness.

She jumped slightly, startled from the sudden touch, having been so focused on both food and scratching. She thought for a few moments about his question. She really wasn’t sure how long it had been honestly. Amaleez shrugged at first, swallowing the food she had, then scratching at it again. “Um I don’t know. It’s just been bothering me recently.'' she said sighing softly. A weekend alone would be nice. Not to mention she could feel herself beginning to go into heat. Last thing the children needed to be around. Or at least the peak of it.

''Maybe your mom would like to take the kids for the weekend. She doesn’t get to see them to often and she mentioned it the last time she here.'' Alright she had been eavesdropping. But still. She had overheard part of a conversation that she thought Esmerelda wanted to take the kids for the weekend. Correct her if she was wrong. But it was what she had heard in her mostly sleepy state. She figured he would be able to tell when her hormones were starting to rise. Sometimes it just came on suddenly only lasting a day, but when she could feel it she knew it would be at least three days.

Nicholas went into their bathroom and grabbed the rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. He sat back down on the bed after pouring some of the alcohol on the cotton ball and he lightly ran it over the irritated skin on Amaleez's arm. Rubbing alcohol was an old trick but it still worked. "This should ease the irritation. Just don't scratch at it or else the itching will come back." Nicholas said quietly before throwing out the cotton ball and putting the alcohol back under the sink. He washed his hands just as a precaution to the kids before heading back into the bedroom.

As Nicholas stood by the side of the bed he looked down at Amaleez with a curious smile. "I'm sure my mother would be happy to take Aaliyah and Alexander for the weekend." It might be hard getting them back, though. Nicholas though to himself. Esmerelda really loved Amaleez and Nicholas's kids. It was hard to not love kids as cute as theirs, at least that's what Nicholas and Esmerelda had both agreed on.

It took Nicholas a moment to catch on to what Amaleez was implying and when he got it his eyes widened before narrowing again. "You know what happened the last time." Nicholas said in an amused tone. There was no way in hell he and Amaleez were having another kid. Maybe a few years from now but not in the near future.

Amaleez winced at the feeling of the alcohol touching her raw flesh. Even through the burning she made no other movement thanking him for doing that. It was still itchy but now he said don’t scratch it. Well that would be hard enough but she would deal. Hopefully it would help. Otherwise he might need to find her some new skin for that part of her arm. She had scratched enough off already. Alexander had finished bits of his food, now playing with it more then anything, so Amaleez took the plate making him pout. ''Well your not eating it. When you want to eat instead of play you can have it back.'' she told the boy who glared at her momentarily before he saw his daddy walk back in the room.

She nodded when he said his mother would enjoy having the kids for the weekend. She was pretty sure they would enjoy that too. Or Alexander would. He loved his grandmother very much and almost bounced off the walls if he got even wind of her coming over. Amaleez did enjoy having the other woman in their lives. Her grandparents, at least on her moms side, ignored her completely. They didn’t like the marriage of her mother to her father. Her father had no money and little education, they simply thought their daughter was better, but hey love was love. Amaleez had found that out. Here she was with Nicholas. A night crawler and a shape shifter.

Amaleez watched her crawlers eyes get wide then suddenly narrow. Oh hell no was she getting pregnant again if that was what he was thinking. He was out of his damn mind if he thought there was another baby any time soon. She snorted and gave a fake laugh. ''If you didn’t know there are a few things to help prevent that on your end. My end not so much…'' she said. There was no magic shape shifter birth control. More then enough times there had claimed to be but it seemed there bodies refused. Other then surgically getting her tubes tied there was little she could think of. She didn’t know if he wanted more kids or not. Right now for her there was no way in hell.

Nicholas crossed his arms as he continued to stand next to the bed. Maybe in two or three years they could talk about another kid but at the moment Nicholas found himself overwhelmed with the two they already had. The night crawler looked down at the fusing Alexander before picking him up.

Alexander glared up at Nicholas before crossing his own arms. This boy was awfully moody today. Nicholas frowned before speaking. "I suppose there are." Nicholas said as Alexander reached up and yanked on a few strands of Nicholas's hair. Nicholas glared down at Alexander before the boy giggled. Precautions probably needed to be taken at the moment so no new kids populated the small apartment. Nicholas sighed as Alexander began squirming around in his arms.

"I don't know if this is something you'd want to do. But I'm thinking Aaliyah and Alexander are going to need rooms of their own soon..." Nicholas's voice trailed off and he looked over at Amaleez. "Would you object to getting a bigger place?" He asked her quietly. He wasn't sure if she would want to move but he felt eventually the family of four, no five, including the cat would need more room. Especially, Amaleez's cat. "Then maybe in a few years we can talk about another kid. But for now, I am good." Nicholas said as Alexander climbed half way onto his shoulders. Nicholas grabbed the little boy gently before setting him back down on the bed.

Her body hadn’t gone through either of her pregnancies well. Even with all the nutrition and such she had been getting when she had Aaliyah that she hadn’t when she had Alexander. Amaleez really doubted she was even made for child bearing honestly. She was very light boned and had little to nothing to call hips. But some how she was able to get both Alexander and Aaliyah out without killing herself. But for now the two trouble makers they had were more then enough. If Amaleez had a say previously it still would be Alexander. Not that she wasn’t happy her daughter was here but it would have been nice to wait another year or two.

Amaleez wasn’t really mad at him for the two they had, just simply annoyed he assumed another, there was no way. She was not having another baby for as long as she could. No need to stress her body beyond repair. It was almost to that point. The fact she had hardly gotten out of bed in the past few days was testament to that. She needed a break. She had no doubt he did too. But he hadn’t been the one giving birth to the two children now had he? Amaleez couldn’t remember the last time she had shifted or gone anywhere fun. It was hard enough being the parent to one kid, two made everything twice as hard, even if she did love them.

Amaleez was brought out of her train of thought when Nicholas spoke. Currently the small two bedroom apartment housed all of them. It had been getting cramped when Alexander was here now with Aaliyah it felt suffocating honestly. Well depending on what he meant as bigger she wouldn’t object to it. ''We can start looking. I doubt Alexander will want to share a room with his younger sister.'' she said simply nodding. She had grown up in a two bedroom house not much bigger then this. With her two sisters, parents, and three cats. It had been tight but it hadn’t felt constricting as this had. It must have been the fact they were surrounded by other buildings here. No place open. Not that she wanted to move far from the city but at least something where she could shift and go out for a hunt. Whether that was what he wanted she didn’t know. But of course her idea of bigger and his idea of bigger had to be different.

She wanted something a little bigger, not to much but enough, not empty and huge.
