Nat walked into the house and inhaled. “You are already my wife, Rhoda… You don’t need to bake for me too.”

Rhoda chuckled as she came out of the kitchen with the spatula with icing still on it. “So… I should just wash this off?”

“I didn’t say that!” Nat grabbed her hand and took a slow lick on the spatula and she pulled away with a swat from her free hand. “We are going to have dinner like normal human beings tonight. Don’t you start trying to twist my plans.”

“Was I doing that?” Nat inquired and Rhoda nodded her head with a sigh. “You know that you were.”

Nat grinned as he walked into the kitchen. He had thoughts but he leaned against the wall. “Why the cake tonight?”

“I had some time… things at the clinic went fine…” Rhoda explained and Nat nodded his head. “Do you like the new position now?”

“A couple weeks ago I thought I was nuts taking on administration duties… but I like that I’m on a steadier schedule… and I can make sure that I’m home when you have early days,” Rhoda replied as she put the cake into a container and up into the cupboards. “And what do you think about your schedule change?”

“I still have variety…” Nat nodded his head as he settled down. “But I like to have more time with you.”

Rhoda blushed and moved to the table. “Lasagna still has about a half hour...”

“And you have something you want to talk about?” Nat inquired and Rhoda nodded her head. “We have all this extra time.”

“Is that wrong?” Nat inquired and Rhoda exhaled. “We wanted it for us… and we use it… but doesn’t it feel a bit empty?”

Nat tilted his head. “We’ve talked about this Rhoda… our time has passed for a family.”

Rhoda swallowed and then sat down. “But if we thought that family was defined strictly by biological… but we’ve seen Nikita... and her friends… we know that Walter is more than a friend… he is her family… and the same with Jason and Mick… and in ways even us…”

Nat reached for her hands and rubbed them. “You’ve really been thinking about this.”

Rhoda nodded her head up and down. “And Nikita was in to take pictures at the clinic today… she told me more about the little bit of time that she spent in the system… and in talking to others at the clinic… it hasn’t changed that much since Nikita was in. Not enough good people taking the children… and we wouldn’t have to adopt… we could start out fostering a child… probably one that is older… they are the ones that don’t normally get a home…”

Nat exhaled. “I haven’t thought about all of that, Rhoda. I like the thought… but I can’t image that I can just instantly become a father.”

“And I’m not sure that I can instantly become a mother,” Rhoda admitted as she touched Nat’s cheek. “We have so much more that we can give a child… now that we have figured out what it was between us… I know that we have enough love to share with a child… or two…”

“Pretty soon you are going to be saying six or seven…” Nat chuckled and Rhoda shrugged her shoulders slightly. “Would that be so bad?”

Nat laughed as he grinned. “Is this why you were baking a cake? To sweeten me up?”

“I was planning on taking half of it to work tomorrow,” Rhoda admitted as she looked at Nat. “And I would never try to win you over on something this important with just cake.”

“Oh… so you would throw in some bedroom activity?” Nat winked and Rhoda laughed. “You are a dirty old man!”
