Date Night {RP Thread for Abby}

[dr_hair]

This morning during a routine surgery Lee casually mentions he and Abby have run out of babysitters for Lily, what with Neela still recuperating and Sophia not relishing the task any longer. It's entirely intentional on his part, and as he suspected, Shirley offers to watch the baby almost immediately. Childcare in place, the chief spends the rest

When Abby checks her voicemail and receives Lee's message, she can't help a feeling of nervous excitement at the implication of his words. They haven't been out together in what feels like forever, and she thinks a night out might be just what they've been needing.

As the time nears for Lee to come home, Abby spends a bit longer than usual getting ready, putting on a new pair of jeans and a nice shirt that shows off her cleavage a bit. She puts her hair halfway up in a clip, using her curling iron to create soft waves down her back.

Lily already bathed and in pajamas, though the baby is wide awake and happily playing, Abby settles with her daughter on the floor of the nursery to wait for Lee's arrival.

Letting himself and Shirley into the house, he gives the nurse a shrug when there's no sign of Abby and the baby downstairs. They must be upstairs...

He gestures towards the den, meaning for Shirley to make herself at home as he heads for the second floor. He doesn't want his nurse to walk in on Abby if she's not dressed or if she's otherwise engaged with the baby.

He smiles as he hears them in the nursery, knocking softly on the door frame to get their attention. Hey...

Both Abby and Lily look up when he knocks, Lily squealing his name happily. Abby grins up at him and lets Lily off her lap so she can crawl to her father. Hey, yourself.

Hi, pretty girl! He crouches down, arms outstretched for Lily as she moves towards him, grinning at the way their daughter scoots across the floor. Did you miss me? I missed you.

Shirley's downstairs...He picks Lily up, kissing her cheek as he balances her in one arm. Giving Abby an appreciative look, he glances at his own attire. How is it that you make jeans and a shirt look so much more...chic than I can?
