Work Text:
Ten months had passed since the birth of your first child. The bliss they brought into your life was immeasurable, but with such a great joy came also the enormous fatigue that was being a new parent.
Larissa talked you into going on parental leave while she kept working.
The first couple of months were the hardest. The baby wouldn’t sleep; both you and Larissa would be much more irritable than usual.
You two used to be a power couple and now, after the baby arrived, everything seemed to crumbled.
Yes, you loved each other deeply, but you were both constantly exhausted – both physically and mentally. The baby drained you completely and you knew this was going to happen, you just didn’t expect it was going to take so long for you to adjust to your new life.
Sex was something you both yearned, but since the baby arrived it was almost impossible to have a moment of privacy. The only way to make them fall asleep was to held them in your arms. This meant either you or Larissa had to sleep with them several hours per night.
During the day, you both went into survival mode and sex was not a primal need.
At least not during the first five or six months…
Now, every time you tried to have some privacy with your wife, the baby would start screaming bloody murder. Teething was a real nightmare.
It was the day after Outreach Day, you decided to surprise your wife at work. Of course you had to bring the baby, and of course, before you knew it you were surrounded by a crowd of teachers and student.
They all wanted to say hi to baby Weems, and you remembered why you never brought them to your workplace…
All the stupid little voices, the hands trying to grab them, the unwanted advices, the invasive questions.
Luckily, you had true friends there. Vlad, the fencing coach, faced the excited crowd to get to you.
“All right, all right!” He said. “The show is over. Now let them both breath” he smiled, walking you and the baby towards a more private area of the courtyard.
“Thanks” you said.
“Don’t mention it” he held out his hand to the baby and they blabbed happily. “Are you here to see your wife?” He asked.
You nodded. Something popped up in your mind and you immediately felt guilty about it.
You sighed.
“Would I be a horrible friend if I’d ask you to babysit the baby for a while? I really need some time alone with Larissa…” you tried to explain and Vlad smiled at you.
“Just hand me the little one. Please, take your time… all the time you need” he half laughed, as he reached out and you gave him the baby.
“Okay…” you said, suspiciously. “What’s going on?”
“She needs to get laid” he said. “She’s a nightmare these days. I’m asking you as a Nevermore teacher, please do something about it”.
You laughed lightheartedly, but nodded seriously. “I promise” you joked as you kissed your baby on the forehead, leaving them with your friend.
Once you reached the Principal’s office, your wife was surprised to see you.
She greeted you with a smile and a kiss.
“What are you doing here, love?” Larissa asked, with a smile. “Where’s the baby?!”
“Don’t worry. Vlad volunteered as a babysitter. I’m here on a mission for the school” you replied, locking the door behind your back.
“On a mission for the school?” She sounded confused but her smile didn’t falter and her eyes sparkled with curiosity.
You closed the distance between you two once again and kissed her with love and passion. She was taken by surprise, but immediately accepted the kiss with a soft moan and walked back as you pushed her forward until her legs hit the top of her desk.
You grinned in the kiss, deepening the kiss, savouring her lips and sighing in satisfaction.
Her red lipstick was all over your mouth but you couldn’t care less.
“Oh— how I’ve missed you, my love…” she breathed against your mouth; her eyes were closed, her fingers were deep into your hair, keeping you close.
She sat on the desk and parted her legs, welcoming you between her knees.
“I’ve missed you too” you managed to reply, breathless, between her kisses.
And if Larissa was more relaxed after two hours of screwing each other’s brains out behind the locked doors of her office, it was all to the good.
