Chapter Twenty
It had been four months since Izzy's birth.
Erin was in the kitchen doing up the last of dishes from the night before. It was almost eleven am. Izzy was asleep upstairs. Erin had cleaned the last three hours while her daughter slept. Freddy came into the kitchen cleaning his blades.
"Fun night?" Erin asked without turning around.
"The little fuckers learned to run. And their always waking up to pee. I killed some teenagers too. I got bored and killed a middle aged couple", Freddy replied.
Erin couldn't help but laugh to herself. Freddy walked over to her, he put on arm around her waist. He kissed her neck ever so gently.
"I've got an ich I need to scratch. How's about you and I have a night off from the kid", Freddy whispered.
"I guess we could. I could call Maggie and ask her to baby sit", Erin said.
Freddy smiled and wouldn't leave her alone, Erin found it hard to finish doing the dishes. She gave up trying and put down the sponge and plate. She rinsed her hands and turned to Freddy. She put her arms around his neck.They started kissing but then crying came from the baby monitor. Erin pulled away.
"Sorry, I'll be right back", Erin replied.
She went upstairs and picked Izzy up. She brought Izzy down stairs and into the kitchen. Izzy stopped crying once she saw Freddy.
"You wanna see daddy, okay, go see daddy", Erin cooed and handing Izzy to Freddy.
Erin went to the fridge and took out a bottle.
"When do they start teething?" Freddy asked.
"Why?" Erin asked shutting the fridge.
She turned to see that Izzy had latched on to one of the blades on his glove. She was gnawing on it.
"Oh, how cute", Erin said.
"It's not cute", Freddy replied.
Erin tilted her head. She took Izzy from him. Izzy was still staring at him.
"I don't like you", Freddy replied pointing a burnt finger at her.
Izzy just smiled a toothless grin at him.
"She's your baby too", Erin pointed out.
"I was joking. Of course I like her. But not right now. Right now all she does is cry and shit", Freddy said.
Erin rolled her eyes and gave Izzy her bottle. After feeding her and changing her diaper, Erin put Izzy in her swing.
"Will you watch her while I call Maggie?" Erin asked.
Freddy sat on the couch and just stared at Izzy.
"Mommy says I have to watch you", Freddy said.
Izzy just looked at him.
"I don't know why she put in that thing", Freddy replied, then rolled his eyes and muttered, "Good fucking god, I'm talking to an infant".
Izzy began to cry and squirm in her swing.
"Now what the fuck do you want?" Freddy asked.
He sighed and got up. He undid the seat buckle and picked her up. Izzy stopped crying.
"Maggie said she'd babysit", Erin replied coming into the living room.
"Good", Freddy said.
Maggie came over around six that evening. Erin went over everything. Freddy tried to move her towards the door but Erin kept forgetting to tell Maggie things.
"Go on. Have fun. Everything will be alright", Maggie said reassuringly.
"What she said", Freddy replied grabbing Erin's wrist.
Erin and Freddy finally left around seven. There was no need to take a car. Freddy and Erin disappeared on the front porch. And reappeared in the lobby of a really nice hotel.
"Where are we?" Erin asked smiling and looking around.
Freddy went up to the desk. Erin almost jumped when she saw that the desk clerk's face and chest had been cut into.
"Honey moon sweet", Freddy snapped.
"Yes sir", The desk clerk replied.
Freddy and Erin disappeared and reappeared in a big room. The bed was the biggest piece of furniture. There was a thing of champagne sitting on the table. Ignoring the rest of the room, Erin and Freddy drank the champagne. They didn't have to drink the whole bottle, Erin got rather tipsy after a few drinks.
"How come you're drunk and I'm not?" Erin asked laughing a little bit and leaning against him, to keep herself upright.
"Babe, if I knew you got this drunk after just a few sips of this shit, I'd of married you months ago", Freddy replied.
He lifted her up into his arms and carried her to the bed.
"But we're not even married", Erin pointed out, even in her drunken state.
"Well, there's something you need to know about that. But I'll tell ya later when you're sober", Freddy said laying her on the bed.
He got on his hands and knees and got on the bed. She lay beneath him as he kissed her,moving his mouth across hers, sticking his tongue into her mouth. He moved down her cheek to her neck. Erin unbuttoned her shirt, she tossed her shirt and bra to the floor. She reached up and took his hat off his head, dropping it to the floor with a slight plop.
Freddy pressed his mouth against hers, with his left hand he pushed her skirt up. Erin stuck her hand under her skirt and pulled off her underwear. She tossed her underwear to the floor. She found the zipper to her skirt and tossed the skirt to the floor as well.
"Hell hath no fury", Erin muttered, smiling.
Erin and Freddy made love that night. They made love many times. Stopping and starting up again. Erin had finally gone to sleep after hours of having intercourse. Freddy put his clothes back on and picked up his hat. He went over to the table and picked up the champagne bottle. He took several sips from it. He put the bottle down and put his hand in his left pocket. He took out what looked like a ring, it was an off gold color and it was distorted. Blood stained the inside of it. It had been in the dream realm for so long, it was much more than an object.
Freddy went over to Erin, who was lying on her side. He picked up her left hand, he slipped the ring onto her ring finger.
"Time to seal the deal", He muttered.
The ring began to melt into her skin, as though her skin were fire. Erin didn't wake up while this was going on. After the ring had totally disappeared, Freddy walked over to the table and picked up the champagne bottle. Freddy sat up in bed and drank the rest of the bottle. Erin awoke the next morning, her head felt like a helium balloon. She sat up, the night before hadn't been a dream. She was in a nice room, dark red and white silk sheets. Soft pillows. A hot tub was in the corner. A table with two chairs in the middle of the room. Lamps on both nightstands. A master bathroom. Erin looked down at the floor to see her clothes all over the floor.
She ran her fingers through her hair. Freddy came into the room a second later.
"Glad to see you're up", Freddy said.
Erin went to look at her wrist but then remembered she never wore a watch.
"It's one in the afternoon", Freddy pointed out.
Erin rested her head against the soft pillows, "My head hurts".
"You got really drunk last night", Freddy replied.
"What did I drink?" Erin asked quietly.
"Champagne", Freddy replied sitting on the edge of the bed.
He took off his shoes and crawled onto the bed next to her.
"Oh my god, Izzy", Erin exclaimed sitting up.
Freddy pulled her close to him.
"My good for nothing daughter is babysitting for us", Freddy said pressing his lips against the back of her head.
His mouth moved down to her shoulder blade and her neck.
"You have a hang over, so we can't go home", Freddy whispered.
Erin just smiled and laid back against his shoulder.
"If you're going back to sleep, then I might have to take advantage of you", Freddy replied.
Erin didn't say anything but she had, indeed, gone back to sleep. Freddy sighed and laid her back onto one of the pillows. He laid with her. They didn't leave the hotel until that evening. Erin wasn't as hung over but her head still hurt but not that much. Maggie was on the couch as the two came in.
"I don't even want to know where you two have been", Maggie said standing up.
"We weren't going to tell you anyway", Freddy spat back.
"How was Izzy?" Erin asked before another war broke out.
Maggie turned to Erin.
"She was fine. Slept mostly", Maggie replied.
"Thank you for taking care of her. I really appreciate it, both of us really appreciate it", Erin said.
Maggie and Erin hugged. After Maggie left, Erin and Freddy went upstairs to check on Izzy. The little baby was on her side, her hands curled up against her chest.
"Can you sit with her? I'm going to go get a bottle for when she wakes up", Erin replied.
Freddy shook his head. Erin left the room and went downstairs. Freddy turned back to Izzy. She didn't wake up but she moved just a little. Stretching her little feet. Freddy stroked her cheek, Izzy opened her eyes just a little and then went back to sleep. Freddy sat down on the bed. Erin came back with a bottle and set it on the night stand.
"You can take off if you have dreams to reap", Erin replied.
"I'll give 'em a night off. Make 'em think I'm gone for good then when they least expect it-", Freddy replied and then held up his glove and made a invisible slash in mid air.
Erin giggled as she changed into a t-shirt and pajama pants. Erin sat on the bed next to him.
"You said something about telling me something but you were waiting until I was sober", Erin said.
"When did I say that?" Freddy asked.
"Last night", Erin replied, "What were you going to tell me?"
Before Freddy could say anything, Izzy woke up. Erin dropped the conversation and picked up her daughter. Freddy watched Erin feed Izzy. Erin would forget to ask him and Freddy knew it was probably all for the best.
