I haven't the slightest memory of feeding or changing The Kitten during the night, although I must have done so. The next memory I have is of Bob presenting a hungry, dry, baby to me in the morning. The Kitten, her mother's daughter, is not generally a morning person. This morning, however, she was wide awake. By the time I looked at the clock, it was after ten. That explained it. "What was that about?" asked Bob. "What was what about?" I honestly hadn't the faintest idea what he was talking about. "Last night." Oh that. How should I know what my feelings were about? It just seemed like a nice idea, and it had worked out fine. It is also totally unreasonable of Bob to ask about my sexual desires. They had been nicely under control before he started inciting them, thank you. "I don't argue when you want something." Something sexual, I meant. "Yeah! Right!" Well I haven't recently, at least not much. "Anyway, I was inquiring, not complaining." "Considering the look on your face last night, it would show remarkable gall to be complaining." What was I saying? Bob shows remarkable gall twenty times a day. "Look?" "You two look remarkably alike when you are blissed out." By this time, The Kitten had satisfied her first hunger, and was mostly playing. I handed her to Bob and grabbed a robe. I took as little time in the bathroom as I could, but she was not happy about the interruption. "I did get a bubble," Bob said on my return, "but only a small one. Anyway, it isn't the same." While I lay down and returned The Kitten to my breast, I tried to figure out why the bubble wasn't the same. Same as what? "She just blisses out from a full tummy," I believe that there is some maternal interaction involved as well, but never mind; I now knew what wasn't the same. "I, on the other hand, only bliss out when I experience an erotic encounter with the most arousing woman in North America." "I just decided to run some things last night. Is that a problem?" "Indeed not!" "When you want to run things, that's fine by me." Which is most of the time. "You wouldn't mind if I ran things today? Or do you still have plans?" Plans? I had been out of bed, which does not mean awake, for half an hour. At this time in the morning, he was lucky I could answer him coherently. Plans were out of the question. "I don't have any plans at all." "Then I can run things?" "Go right ahead." I must point out that this was before I really woke up. I never would have given him a carte blanche if I had been awake. He began to knead my feet. He does this sometimes when I'm tired or have been on them all day. He used to do it frequently during my pregnancy, and that protects him at times like this. About the time I see that he plans to take advantage of an agreement which he extracted from me when I was non compos mentis, I remember that he cared for me so gently when I was retaining more water than Lake Michigan and having problems fitting through doors. He finally had mercy on me, though. He was kissing my stomach when it rumbled loudly. "Hungry?" he asked. "Very." "You know, Mom wouldn't mind your feeding The Kitten while you ate." "The Kitten would mind my feeding myself while she ate." And so she would. She even objected to my attention on Bob for that conversation, although I gave her plenty of reassurance in our pauses. She is learning a little independence from Maman, but any independence on the part of Maman is a horse of a different color. The Kitten, however, finally finished her play and was ready to be burped. She's the opposite of her father in that way; she starts off sucking on the nipples and ends up just playing with the breasts. Bob started chanting "Just for a handful of silver he left us," and I escaped to take a shower. Bob's father was at work, of course. Katherine, Catherine, and Bob were in the kitchen when I got there. I had decided to wait for lunch since everybody else would be eating that soon, but Katherine asked, "Would you like to finish up the waffle batter?" I couldn't say no to that. She handed The Kitten to Bob, and gave me a hug first. "Welcome home," she said. I hugged her. The Kitten hadn't allowed me to touch anybody else when we had come off the train. "It feels like home," I said. It doesn't feel at all like the home I was raised in; it feels like a real home. Katherine got busy with the waffle iron and the batter. "Waffles are a treat," I said. "We don't have a waffle iron, and the frozen ones don't taste the same." "Yes," she said. "Bob was telling me that." Suddenly, I got an idea of why she hadn't given me a choice as to whether to have breakfast or lunch. I looked over at Bob. He gave me his innocent look, not one of his more convincing looks. "Are you really off coffee?" she asked. I'm really off coffee. Nine months without caffeine taught me what an addict I had been, and I wouldn't start on the Brennan coffee, anyway. What's the point? Instead, I drank both orange juice and milk with my waffles. Bob took The Kitten into the living room to play on the quilt. "Are you sure she can't get into trouble?" I asked when he got back. "Is she crawling already?" Katherine asked. "She can't be!" She isn't. "She can turn over," I explained. "and over, and over. She travels sideways." Bob and I spent some time listing her recent exploits. It's not as if Katherine hadn't heard them all before, but she was perfectly happy to hear them all again. There was batter for one more waffle than I could eat, so Bob helped out. Normally, we would have talked around the table another hour, but Katherine was antsy to see The Kitten again. "Wash up, would you dear?" she said. "Let's go watch my namesake, dear." The first dear meant Bob, and the second meant me. The Kitten had managed to roll onto the rug, though not in any dangerous position. I took her favorite rattle out of the diaper bag and shook it on the far side of the quilt. She demonstrated her rolling technique for her grandmother. As soon as she got to the center of the quilt, she got the rattle and verbal praise from two of us. I think that Katherine's was quite genuine. "You know, dear," she said, "so many of my contemporaries see their lives as getting worse and worse. Physically, of course, that's true. But The Kitten is the crowning pleasure of a great period of my life. And Russ feels the same way. Vi is a pleasure, too, of course." Vi is Kathleen Violet Brennan M.D. as of this spring, and we are all *so* proud of her. "It must help as well that you no longer have tuition to pay." "You aren't going to escape that easily. Your degree is next." "Sometime," I said. "Not while my baby needs me." Bob and I had specifically decided on our trying for a child before I tried for a college degree. "But you must have had loads of money worries these past twelve years. I felt incredibly guilty about the first trip to Paris. We didn't have the time to warn you, but putting the air fare on our credit card was a little much. We couldn't have paid it off without you, we shouldn't have spent it without one of those famous Brennan family meetings." "Russ was so proud of Bob for that. 'Anybody can see,' he said, 'when money is well spent; Bob has learned to see when it is well risked.' He got a dissertation out of the risk, but Russ wouldn't have blinked if the risk had failed. It was a good bet. "No. My worst worries were before that. And money was the center of it, but not the harshest worry. Let's see, you met Bob when he was in the tenth grade, and Vi was in the fifth. That year, I was finishing up my teaching certificate." "I'd already taught art in New York, but there were two art teachers in this county laid off or teaching other subjects for each one still employed. The first year we were here, we paid down our debt by nine hundred dollars. That was nowhere near one percent. We needed my salary, but Russ's position kept me out of most of the labor market. The wife of the president of Brewster Office Equipment could no more work as a secretary than she could work as a cleaning woman. "So I needed to teach, so I needed some more courses to allow me to teach general grade school in this state. But that meant more money going out. And when I needed a car for my student teaching, that was the last straw. I finally financed it on *my* credit record, since Russ owed everything in his name. We were deeper in debt than we had been when we moved here. And the tuition problem was looming on the horizon back then. "Once Russ came in shaking. He told me about a near miss in the car. That night, he laughed at himself. 'Why was I worrying?' he asked. 'That car crash would have settled all our problems.' That scared me. Going broke worried me, but the idea of Russ driving the car into an embankment so his life insurance could keep us from going broke scared me to death. I lay beside him shaking for hours. "Anyway, the next year we finally sold the condo. That cut nearly thirty thousand off our debt, not counting the condo mortgage. I was earning money. Russ finally went in to the bank which the company used and laid the whole record on the table. They refinanced the mortgage on this place, giving us a variable rate; and we used the extra money to cut down the old debt. We paid about a thousand less in interest, and all that we paid was deductible. The year after, he got a raise, I got a raise, and the car payments ended. The last little bit of that debt was paid off by the money that Bob brought back from his first year of road construction. "We had checked out the tuition and room costs at the University already. We put that amount into loan repayments and interest every year since my second year teaching. Into savings at the very end, of course. We knew that we could hack it. "You were rather a problem for us, dear. But when we offered to pay for another year of your education, we knew where that money was coming from. You and Vi talk about the carpets which we sold; leave me a bed and a table in the house if I can keep my husband to share them with." I hadn't heard all of this before, although I had heard parts of it. "I didn't mean to be a problem," I said. "You weren't a drain of resources, dear. The problem was that we couldn't fit your tuition in with the other two. That was the problem. Indeed, we stopped paying Bob's room and board after the marriage. I should have put the Chinese carpet into your room; that and my grandmother's dishes were what would have gone on the block were it not for you. It just wasn't fair." Now, I lived my whole life with "It just wasn't fair." This was a woman who once had every reason to expect that her husband was destined for higher income and higher responsibility, but he had a heart attack leading to his income being cut in two. They had put everything that they had saved and could borrow into a risky high-potential investment; that went sour while her husband was lying in the hospital. She had trained for a profession, but the demand for that profession had disappeared. She was willing to pay for the education of her children, and each of them chose a career that required years of graduate study. Any of that could be covered with "It just wasn't fair." Any of that was less fair than most of the situations people describe with those words. (Bob just finished teaching a course in which he required a short paper every week but one. The students could pick the week to miss. Several students got into assignment crushes after taking their skipped weeks. Most of them said that it wasn't fair of Bob to enforce the rules because the second week they skipped was really needed.) Katherine meant that it wasn't fair to pay tuition for "the other two," her children, but not pay tuition for her daughter-in-law. She meant that it wasn't fair to me. I didn't know what to say. The Kitten saved me from having to say anything by spitting up on the quilt. "I hope that the quilt isn't valuable," I said as I rushed up with some Kleenex. "Priceless," she said. "My daughter learned to crawl on that quilt. She already knew how to spit up. Dear, babyproofing is our responsibility." I gave her a hug, awkward on the couch. "Don't worry about college," I said. "I did what I wanted to do. And I'm glad that I did. Besides, there is the French." They had provided the means for my studying that, mostly out of school. "You've been happy then?" I had been, not continuously or deliriously happy, but mostly happy. I was about to say so when Bob walked in. "She's married to me," he said. "What was there for her to be unhappy about?" "Being married to you!" Katherine and I said in almost perfect unison. Bob, willing to be a straight man but not an audience, ignored us. "The Kitten's next meal is from a jar, no?" "Not for a while, Bob," I said. "But there is an open jar of beets in the 'fridge." "Well, the first baby I fed developed brain damage," said Katherine, "but the second went on to become a doctor. If you two would trust me with this one, you could take a little time without the responsibility. Would you want to borrow the car as well?" "That's the story of this trip," Bob said. "You want to see The Kitten, Jeanette's an essential source of nutrients, I'm entirely superfluous." "Now dear, not superfluous. I'm sure that you washed the dishes quite well. I'd like to thank you for that, dear. Vi washed the dishes before you married bob and educated him. He did the laundry." I'm the "dear" whom she thanked. I should thank her for Bob's skill with the laundry. For that matter, I didn't teach Bob how to load a dishwasher, but how to wash dishes by hand. "I don't think we'll need the car," Bob said. "We'll be upstairs if you need us desperately." That sounded awfully suggestive to me. "What's with this 'us'?" Katherine said. "I'll try not to need Jeanette. Oh my! She's blushing. Dear, how could you be married to Bob for ten years and still blush?" Which made me blush worse. How could I be married to Bob and not blush? I was terribly embarrassed by the transparency of Bob's actions. On the other hand, while The Kitten is a darling, she does tend to interrupt at the most inconvenient times. A little quality time between maman and papa without their worrying about her seemed like a great idea. Then, too, the embarrassment was stimulating in itself. I'll never be an exhibitionist, but being publicly desired does make me feel desirable. "Maybe I wanted to go for a drive," I told Bob after we were safely in our room with the door bolted. It was a fairly specious suggestion. Anybody whom I would want to see would want to see The Kitten. "You said that I could run things today." He kissed me deeply. I sank into the kiss, and chased his tongue with mine. Bob's hands were all over me. After a minute, he stepped back. "You're tense," he said. "It's having her down there knowing what we're doing." "Would you like to go for a walk?" he said. "You mean that?" "Once, when I lived in this room for example, I would have given my eyeteeth to have your consent to sex. I'm spoiled now. I want your enthusiasm." At that, I kissed him with real enthusiasm. "Bob Brennan, I love you!" I said. We got dressed in warmer clothes, pausing only for him to kiss my belly, and went back downstairs. "You don't trust me?" asked Katherine. "We trust you utterly," said Bob. "We're going for a walk." I suppose the town was miserable from any objective perspective. It was wet and cold, although we were dressed for Michigan and didn't mind it. Bob always insists that cold rain is worse for you than snow. To me, at least, it was freedom. I love The Kitten, I really do. She's a particularly happy baby, partly--we are convinced--because we are there when she wants us. But ... Even when Bob's home and actually in charge, I listen for her cry. Even when she is sleeping, she might wake up and need something--comforting if nothing else. "Whee!" I said. "I feel like I'm playing hooky." "If I feeled like that, I'd be playing feeled hooky." That sounded funny to me at the time, which demonstrates how manic my mood was. I hugged him and we kissed for a moment, then we rubbed noses. This is a nice cold-weather hug we've stolen from the Eskimos. "If you wanted to hug," Bob whispered into my ear, "there was no reason to leave the house. We could have stayed in the room where I dreamed of you so many years. I could have removed each piece of clothing and kissed each new piece of skin thus revealed. You could have lain on the bed while I knelt at your feet and kissed up your thighs to your most secret, most feminine, place. Then I could have kissed you there, and licked you there, and smelt" (I don't think that's a past tense, but Bob does.) "your femininity turn to desire, and tasted your desire turn to lust, and then to passion. And I could have been right there where your passion is centered until it turned into satisfaction. And I would have enjoyed it, and you would have enjoyed it. But, no, you needed to come out into the cold and rain." We were standing on the sidewalk alone in the entire world when someone said "Kids today!" quite loudly. This man, who looked not a decade older than us, was less than a yard away. We jumped apart, blocking his way even worse. When he had managed to get by us, and we were heading back towards the house, Bob asked, "Did he hear me?" "I don't think so. Your mouth was an inch from my ear, and I had to strain to hear you." We walked past the house; we had only chosen that direction because the man was going in the other. Suddenly it was hilarious. We walked along laughing and saying "kids today." "Anyway," I said, "you can still do that tonight. The Kitten would sleep through it." Not that The Kitten is old enough to be shocked at where Daddy kisses Mommy. "But that would interfere with what I had planned for tonight." "What is it with you on these trips home?" Bob is a sex maniac, but less of one than he was ten years ago. We seldom have matinees when we are at home. "Ah love. Once upon a time, I lay in that room night after night. Afternoon after afternoon, for that matter. I lusted after you, totally unrequited." "Not totally," I said. "Not proportionately requited, in any case. I lay there and dreamed of Jeanette Jacobs. I lusted after her slender form and small breasts... And don't complain, the breasts grew, but so did the lust. All those unrequited hormones flew out and hit the wall, as did something more palpable on one memorable occasion. They stayed there plotting their revenge. And then, years later, you arrived within their ambit. Your beauty overcame them, and they decided that they wanted fulfillment instead of revenge. Time is frozen for them. Every time we visit, they thaw out and it is as if they belonged to an adolescent again. They fly out of the walls and back into my bloodstream, leaving me helpless to do anything save fulfill the lust that has waited decades." "How did you manage," I asked "to kiss the Blarney stone without ever crossing the Atlantic?" "It is sober truth." However, he did follow up with a more prosaic description of his desire for me when we were going together and feeling out our relationship--If you'll excuse the double entendre. This is a story he's told before, but I remain fascinated. I don't know if it is a matter of boys versus girls or merely of Bob versus Jeanette. I was interested in Bob, and interested in my body. But those interests remained distinct for much longer than Bob says his did. Somehow, also, Bob's reminiscences omit those picture magazines that still live in three boxes, one in our apartment, and two in his parents' garage. I'm glad we have a daughter. Fifteen years from now, I'll know what she is thinking; that would never be true of a son. But I'm not sure. Is the greater openness that we already show around her going to make her into a little Bob instead of a little Jeanette? And the next baby, will it be a boy? Will we ever have one? "Why so pensive?" Bob asked. "Oh Bob, hug me. Bystanders be damned." He did. His puns are execrable, his vocabulary can make me blush, he thinks that passing gas is funny, his version of vacuuming a carpet isn't worth plugging the machine in, he can out-stubborn a cat without even trying. He will, however, hug me when I need it without my telling him why I need it. And no, you can't have him. "Everything will be fine," he said. But I was chilled, and we turned back. "You know," he said, "not here, but back home, we could arrange a time for me to watch The Kitten while you went out. Saturdays, maybe." "I'll think about it," I said. But what I really thought about was the hostage that we had given to fortune. She was in Katherine's lap when we got back. Katherine was playing patty-cake with The Kitten's *feet*. Neither of them needed us at all, and we slunk off into the kitchen to start lunch. "I should do it," said Katherine, not terribly convincingly. It was nearly three. Katherine, an organized soul if there ever was one, had the week's menu on the refrigerator. Bob stirred up cream of tomato soup, while I made the toasted cheese sandwiches. When lunch was on the kitchen table, my daughter finally deigned to notice me. "Maman," The Kitten said, and wouldn't be anywhere but in my lap. Bob finally had mercy on me and held a sandwich up to my mouth so I could eat. Brennans talk. Bob is the champion, but not by much. Over lunch, we talked about The Kitten's development, minor illnesses, and major charms. Bob and Katherine talked about the recent weather patterns and whether these cast doubt on (Katherine) or supported (Bob) the idea of global warming. While Katherine cooked dinner, The Kitten returned to her quilt. Bob and I sat in the kitchen with Katherine and listened. She reported every deed of The Kitten's time with her. She told stories of Vi's babyhood, which I had heard before, and Bob's, which I hadn't. "Oh, Mom," said Bob. "Hush," I said. "This is fascinating." Encouraged, although a little put off her cooking stride by the interruption, Katherine filled me in on Bob-before-I-met-him, including parts of grade school. When Bob's father got home, he was disappointed to find The Kitten in her late-afternoon fussy time. After I had fed her, however, he did the burping. "Christopher Robin goes hoppity ... " he recited, patting her back as he spoke and striding around. It was so much like Bob that I could hardly keep from laughing. Dinner was more talk. I dropped out and sat there like a spectator at a tennis match. (Tennis matches are easier on spectators, though. Only one person hits the ball at the time.) As the time approached for The Kitten's last feeding, Bob and I said our goodnights and took her upstairs. I changed into a robe while Bob changed The Kitten's messy diaper. For the second time since getting home from the hospital, I had gone a full day without changing a diaper; there is something to be said for mothers-in-law. "Sit on the foot of the bed and lie back, will you?" Bob said. I complied. Once he was ready for bed and The Kitten had settled down for her feeding, he knelt beside the bed to share a nice long kiss with me. Then he kissed my forehead. "Talk to your child," he said. I have the habit of talking to The Kitten while she is nursing. I use French, so she'll have some experience of that language. "Ton papa fait le plan," I told her. She took a few swallows, and cocked her head toward me. "Je ne sais rien." Actually, I could make a good guess as to what he had planned. My guess was confirmed when he got up and knelt between my legs. His kisses began just above my right knee. He kissed me while I murmured to The Kitten and stopped when I stopped. By the time her first hunger was appeased, he had reached to the top of my right thigh. So he started again just above my left knee. By the time he reached the top of that thigh, I was squirming in need. The Kitten not much appreciating the ride, clamped on. I controlled myself and murmured to her until she resumed playing with the nipple; she wasn't really taking much in by that time. Bob waited through this period, and then kissed my lower lips. While it was what I had wanted, that kiss did nothing to decrease my need. Stopping licking every time I stopped talking, Bob took forever to tease my inner lips open with his tongue. I had enough forethought to move my hands on Kitten down to her diaper. I didn't want to let go of her because the sides of the bed were too close, but neither did I want to risk my fingers clawing at her skin. Then I babbled on, losing coherence as Bob worked magic with his tongue. I think my last words to her went something like: "Ton papa me baise. Ton papa me ... Ton Pa! Pa!" At that point, Bob stopped completely, raised his head, and said, "Are you calling me?" "Please Bob. Oh please." His chuckle was positively demonic, but he relented. He returned to his licks and kisses. I just moaned rather than spoke. Soon all the tension concentrated in a point. Then it shattered, and so did I. I slowly came back together into a blissful repletion. Then a nagging worry intruded. "The Kitten," I asked. "I took her out of your arms," Bob said. "I'll get a bubble in a minute." I slid back into the bliss. "There," Bob said some unknown time later. "She's in her own bed asleep. The Kitten is done for the night, but you aren't!" He knelt back down between my legs. This time, he hardly teased at all. He kissed my legs briefly, my mound only once, although that was a long kiss. Then he was licking my labia once again. So soon after the last time, they were exquisitely sensitive. "Grab a pillow," he said. Good idea. He wasn't going to be able to muffle my cries with a kiss in that position. One hand held the pillow to my lips and the other felt down to his head. He resumed kissing where he had left off. When I tensed, he slipped two fingers into me. Then I pulled him against the center of all those lovely sensations while I gasped into the pillow. "You are wonderful," he said. "Darling, darling, girl. Luscious and lovely." "And lonely," I managed to add. When I go off into one of those climaxes, I usually recover in his arms. This time he was way down there. It was intimate, there is no denying that. He even still had his fingers in me. It was intimate, but it wasn't particularly comforting. He gave me another long kiss on my mound. "Sorry, darling," he said, "but we are going to do it this way tonight." He kissed upward across my stomach but didn't even reach to my breasts. Then he trailed downward again. Soon, he returned to my center. His fingers moved within me; his tongue moved over me; my hips moved in response. As I felt the gathering tension, I grabbed the pillow. Then the climax seared through me. I don't know whether I shouted; I don't know how long it lasted. I do know that I quaked and quivered and was filled with joy. Moments afterwards, I was filled with Bob. He pulled me a little more off the bed and pressed into me before I knew what was happening. He lifted my legs until my knees were on his shoulders. Then he was moving deep within me. The strokes felt long and slow, but they didn't take him out of me at all. The motion of his hips pushed me back and forth on the end of the bed while they slid him in and out of me. His hands were all over me, stroking, tickling, pinching my earlobe while he teased a nipple. I soared away again, throbbing and throbbing, seeming unable to stop. "Jeanette," he said sharply, once. Then I kept throbbing until the support of his hips collapsed under me. When I became aware of my position, I was sitting on Bob's thighs and knees. My shoulders were the only part supported by the end of the bed, although the covers were down around us, giving some support. The inside of my knees were against Bob's elbows. "Are you okay?" he asked me. Good question. Nothing particularly hurt, but I felt weak and out of breath. "Can you get up?" "I don't think so," I whispered. "Can you?" He shook his head. We both broke out in giggles. "Your parents will find us when The Kitten gets really hungry." The Kitten can wake the dead if her needs aren't met. "I shot the bolt," Bob said. "If you move *only* your left leg, I'll try to free my arm." The second time we tried that it worked. With one foot on the floor, I could move more weight onto the bed. Bob extricated himself, and I managed to stand up. What hadn't spilled yet of Bob's seed drained out, mostly onto my thigh. I grabbed a washcloth and cleaned myself off. Bob was still on the floor. "I think my leg went to sleep," he said. I helped him up. "You are the most adorable idiot in the whole world," I told him. He shrugged into a robe, and went across to the bath room. He came back with TP, some of it damp. We cleaned up the mess on the floor and on ourselves. With all the time we'd taken, I was surprised that The Kitten hadn't awakened for her middle-of-the-night feeding. I glanced at the clock to see whether it was worth sleeping before then. It was a little after eleven. Bob got under the covers, and I snuggled into his arms. "I love you," he said. "Love you, too." And I did. Continued in Part Three.
