"Here you go, Slim. One baby-sized pilot delivered."
The taste of her lips lingers, but there's no regret. None at all: they'll get their chance to explore one anothers' bodies when the time is right. Now it's time for Junior, and he takes the opportunity to watch -- really watch -- Beth with her daughter. It's pretty damn priceless: there's this almost unexpressed fierceness on her face when she looks down at Junior. It lurks just below the surface and he knows if anyone tries to fuck with either of them, they'll get repent or burn or something just like it really fast.
It can't be any other way. It's what Beth's like; it's what he's like except his weapon of choice is his Jericho, not a can of hair spray.
He could do that too, in a pinch.
Almost automatically, he reaches for pillows for Beth. "I should get you a rocking chair."
If he could go anywhere to shop and have a way to get one back, he sure as hell would.
"Bed or chair?" If she sits on the chair, he can rub her feet while Junior gets fed. If she opts for the bed, he can... rub her feet there, too, or read to her, or whatever she wants.
