Getting away? (for carolina_stokes)

[_nickstokes_]

Nick had been planning something special for his and Carolina's one year anniversary. He wanted them to have some alone time, but he also wanted her to be completely surprised. With five kids, a surprise getaway was going to be difficult to execute

Carolina chuckled, having just gotten off the phone with Bane, herself, while Nick spoke to the nanny. "It was a great night, honey. We got to dance and play dress up, then come back here for some alone time. Just sleeping all night with no kids in the bed was a treat for me."

She was putting stuff in their bags, dressed in her jeans and the sweater that she had planned to wear when they were going to get breakfast. They could still stop or drive through for something, before they went home. She was starving.

"Jake is Emmie's little mood ring. I guess it's true what they say about twins, huh?"

"Yeah. They come in twos." Pause. "But you were talking about the other thing people say, right?"

Nick smiled as he helped her finish packing their bags. So far, so good. She didn't seem to suspect anything. At least, not yet. He might actually be able to pull this off.

"You want to get some food before we head to the airport?"

"Yes, Nicky. I was talking about the thing they say about twins being telepathic with each other, sensing each other's pain." Carolina chuckled and grabbed her coat, pulling it on. "Food would be great, and not hotel food. Something else." One thing about having five kids to run after, she really burned up calories.

"I had fun last night, though. It was fun to just get out and dance. You know, I'm a much better dancer without a toddler clutching my leg."

"We could do it more often. Make it a point to get out, maybe spend a few nights at the hotel every month, just for us." All bundled up, with wool scarf, cap, and gloves, Nick hugged Carolina from behind. He was about to kiss her neck when his stomach grumbled loudly.

"I saw a little cafe across the street, when we were coming back last night. Want to try there?"
