Whistling, she made her way down to the yard. "HEY, YOU!" She jerked her head at Gerald.
"Yeah, what now?" He snorted.
"I have your order." She patted the wrapped box. "Want to give it a look and present it?"
Gerald rubbed his hands together. "Boy, do I."
She tugged the flap up. "What do you think?"
"Oh, man." He rubbed his hand on his mouth. "Is that really me?" He blinked and cocked his head to the side. "Is that really my ass?"
"You question my accuracy?" Her eyebrow shot up.
"Not a bit. I'm just in disbelief that my ass could look that hot."
"Smart answer."
A low wolf whistle had them both jolting. "Man, what a sight!"
Gerald put a hand on the man's face and shoved him back. "You only WISH you looked as sexy as I do!"
"That's YOU? As if!"
"Oh, shut it, Donald." Gerald closed the flap on the picture. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get laid." He shot them a grin. "Probably twice."
"So, your best month yet?" Donald called.
Gerald shot his middle finger into the air.
"Ah, brothers." Elunara snorted.
Donald jerked his head. "How ya been?"
"Haven't seen you in awhile, doll." She wrapped an arm around his waist.
"Just got back from Draenor a few days ago." He ran a finger down Lulu's cheek. "Why do you have another baby?"
"Long story short, she's Jordan's." She shrugged.
Donald blinked. "Since when does Jordan get it up for anyone but you?"
"When I command him to." She winked.
"Makes sense." He considered. "You keep secrets..."
"Oh, no. What now?" She freed Lulu from the sling and sat her on the platform, tossing a couple of toys down.
"I'm rather jealous of Gerald right now."
She giggled. "Applying for my dating service?"
"You have a dating service too?" He shook his head. "Even with what I know, how the hell do you manage it all?"
"By being me, sugarcake. You want me to find you a chicky, you stop on by." She sat down and popped out her board.
"There's my little girl!" Jordan cried brightly, as he sat down at Elunara's side. When Lulu raised her arms, Jordan tugged her into his lap and gave her a cuddle.
Elunara reached out and ran her fingers through his hair.
"You know, I remember the first time I did this." He grinned at her. "I was just SO desperate to spend time with you."
She giggled. "And I was worried I was going to break your poor little heart." Leaning over, she kissed his temple. "Now look at us."
"Funny how that works."
"Hey, that's my line." With a wink, she went back to her work. "So, what happened to this paperwork?"
"I've gotten half of it done and turned in. Decided to take a little break. I'll get back to it after." He sighed. "Be quicker if I wasn't doing Grogek's paperwork on top of it."
"Yeah, but you two work best like that."
"I know." Jordan wrinkled his nose. "I need to get on him about filling in his assessments."
"Why don't you have him dictate, and you write? You know he has difficulty with those tiny forms."
"True." He snickered. "Those forms were not made for hands that large."
"It's a wonder he doesn't just use them to wipe his ass."
Both Jordan and Elunara jolted at Renwa's comment.
"Don't give him ideas." Elunara snorted.
Renwa eyed Jordan. "I am aware of one's desire to spend time with their wife and child, but I at least get my work turned in first."
Jordan flushed. "Yes, boss." He grumbled, before sitting Lulu back down on the platform. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked away.
Renwa sighed. "Since you're best at it, why don't you get him doing his paperwork on time, so he won't back pile it and get MY wife on MY ass?"
Elunara giggled. "Zelinnia is a slave driver for her paperwork."
"Maybe I should threaten Jordan with her."
"Might be more effective."
"Jordan has become entirely too lax since he took up with you."
"Most likely because he had nothing to do BUT work, before me." She shrugged.
"Even if his change in work ethic is a result of him finally being happy..."
"It doesn't excuse the fact that he's changed his work ethic." She shrugged. "That, I understand completely. I'll work at him; see if I can get him back on track."
"That's all I ask."
Elunara giggled. "Zelinnia has a three year old and a near two year old, and she never got backlogged on her papers." She waved a hand. "But we know how obsessed that girl is."
"Obsessed with what?"
"Your paperwork." Elunara eyed the kids. "How are things?
Zelinnia sighed. "Some days it feels like this is getting easier, others harder. I'd have Nara down walking, but he's napping." She gestured to the child sleeping in the back sling.
"Come, sit down. Take a load off."
"Ugh, maybe later. I've been sitting all day and now I need to walk." Zelinnia sighed and rubbed her back. "That hard surface is just going to suck."
"You could sit in my lap." She winked.
Zelinnia went bright red. "Uh, maybe later. In private."
"Well, I'll come by and we can stick the babies together and I'll rub your back out."
"Oh, that sounds delightful."
Renwa considered. "On the one hand, if you would TELL me you need a back rub, I'd be glad to help. On the other hand, I do enjoy watching."
Elunara sang softly to Lulu as she made her way home. "That's my little sugar, go to sleep now. You'll have your nap, and when you wake up, I'll have plenty of fruit to con you into eating."
Without warning, arms came around her. With her burden, she didn't have time to react, and could only cling tighter to her precious bundle. The arms tightened around her middle and she gagged for air. "LET GO OF ME!" She growled.
"Momma, I told you. Elunara does NOT like to be hugged by strangers."
