Still the one.

Alison woke at a reasonable hour and was only mildly ill. The morning sickness so far with her second pregnancy had been easier to handle than the first. She was especially glad for it on days like today. It was Valentine's Day and she needed to do something special for her handsome hubby.

Following tradition, Longshot had been up early and gone into the camp for his yearly chocolate haul. Despite being a happily married father of three (four soon), he still made out better than most single men in the country. They would be eating chocolate for weeks after the holiday.

While he was out, Alison bathed and dressed the twins in little Valentine outfits she'd bought for them. They got their breakfast and a little stuffed monkey each. Both were white with little red hearts on their palms and the bottoms of their feet. By the time Daddy returned home, there were two babies with slightly soggy stuffed animals and a picnic lunch for four waiting for him.

Alison climbed out of the jeep and left Daddy to unbuckle babies while she gathered up the picnic basket, the diaper bag, and a nice, big blanket. There were picnic tables, but if it was nice enough, she'd rather sit on the ground.

She stopped beside him and watched him juggle the little ones. "You okay there, Daddy?"

There were tickles, shiftings, liftings, and general get the twins out of the Jeep motions. Once her had both of them securely, he turned to face his loaded-down wife.

"Perfectly fine. Got my babies. Got my wife. Got a baby in my wife. Got food coming. I'm ready!"

"You do sound like the man who has everything." Alison laughed. "No wonder you're so difficult to shop for."

She gave him a teasing wink and turned to head for the park. She wanted to find a nice spot by the baby playset.

"Am I?" he asked as he pondered it. That meant he jutted his jaw out a bit as he walked. "I've never really shopped for myself."

He usually had someone else around to do the shopping or what he needed came to hand on its own. Longshot followed Alison and considered it.
