Jessie's Journal

Jessie knew that Victor was feeling a little down. He was out of work now that he was out of the Army. He hung around the house with nothing to do but mope and take care of the babies and drive her crazy. He was grumpy and seemed to pick fights with her just to have something to do. They were both more tired than usual since the babies woke up several times a night to be fed and changed, neither of them'd had a decent night's sleep since they got the babies home a month ago. They hadn't had sex, the doctor had told her not to for six weeks after the birth. She was getting antsy and it was driving Victor right out of his skin. Even the little she could do for him without having intercourse wasn't quite enough for him. Or her. They both felt frustrated. It had already been five weeks and she felt just fine. So what the hell if they were a week early?

She wanted to do something special for him. So Jessie sent Victor out to run an errand, found someone to babysit. One of her friends from town who had lots of experience with babies and didn't mind that they were mutants. Then she ordered in dinner from his favorite restaurant in town. It was delivered hot and she put the steaks in the oven to keep warm. Everything was perfect. His favorite beer was in the fridge. She cleaned up the house, lit some candles. Put on her sexiest lingere. She lit candles in the downstairs bathroom as well. She planned a little something for him that would involve the clawfoot tub and some hot water that he would like. Everything was ready and Victor was supposed to be home any minute.
