And because of this one chapter, I suddenly had to change the rating to T. Of course; it always ends up like this at some point. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one!


Maya bopped her head in tune to the music playing through her headphones. After cleaning the house the whole day, she finally got a chance to sit down and take a real rest, before getting ready to go to sleep. She had no idea how Phoenix convinced her to become a housewife. Ah, wait—he convinced her, and when he did, out came Mia. But between the Wright residence and Kurain Village, she was secretly glad that she didn't have to add "assistant" to her long list of responsibilities, though sometimes she does drop by to help out. She, sitting up on the bed, closed her eyes in relaxation when some soothing jazz came on.

Next to her, a shirtless Phoenix was getting ready for sleep also. That day's trial had been a particularly stressful one, and he knew that all he needed was a good night's rest. He turned to Maya next to him, who had her eyes closed and her hands rested daintily on her stomach. He stared at her for a little while, and smiled at the thought that they were married. She was absolutely beautiful, and he smiled again at the thought that she was all his.

He leaned closer to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled at him sweetly. "Yes, Nick?"

He placed his forehead on hers. "Oh, nothing... I just feel like I'm in the mood for something... yummy."

She gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Yummy? Like what?"

He grinned devilishly. "Like dessert."

She smirked playfully. "What kind of dessert?"

He scooted even closer to her. "Something like... the All-Maya Dessert Special."

"...Oh, I see how it is..." Maya purred. "But still—"

"Could we try making a son? I really sort of want one."

"Easy for you to say! You know how hard it was for me to carry around Mia? I don't know if I want another one..."

He whined and pouted, trying to get Maya's attention. "But sweetie, at least you have the experience now! So it would be much easier!" He grinned devilishly again. "Plus, aren't I yummy for you, too?"

She said mockingly, "I suppose I want some dessert, too..."

He smiled and started kissing her passionately.

Maya laughed against his lips. "But, Nick..." She backed off for just a bit. "The kids..."

Phoenix smiled devilishly once again. "Don't worry about them. They won't hear a thing..." He continued to kiss her again.

"These accursed clothing! Away they go!

I agree!"
