20Three months after having Kelly, Adalind's body deemed it necessary to inform her she could still have more children.
Adalind should have been expecting it, even though she hadn't had a period since before conceiving Diana, her body hadn't had enough time to go through a full menstrual cycle between giving birth to her daughter and conceiving her son, Adalind still felt she should have known it was coming.
But, she didn't. And there for she wasn't prepared when she went into the bathroom and discovered blood.
All she could think to do for a moment was to improvise by using lots of toilet paper and fold in into a rectangle.
Then she debated with herself on whether or not she had the time to go to a store and pick up the items she needed herself.
The biggest issues were dealing with getting Kelly ready, babies needed a lot of stuff, even if they were going to be out for a short amount of time, and then the fact that the fome was in an area a good distance from any place that would sell what she needed.
Did she want to risk an embarrassing situation?
Her only alternative was to call Nick and ask him to get her things.
But that posed it's own set of challenges.
Adalind had no clue if Nick was even willing to do that sort of thing. She knew most guys tried to avoid anything that had to do with a woman's menstrual cycle.
He had lived with a woman for several years, but that didn't mean he had purchased for her tampons or even medicine made for menstrual relief.
And even if he did, that was a woman he had loved, it did not mean he would be willing to do the same for Adalind.
Maybe she could call Rosalee? But no, the fuchsbau had her own business to run. Surely she wouldn't have the time to run and get Adalind the things that she needed.
Adalind mustered up the courage and texted Nick. She decided on something funny, to try to make light of the situation so that maybe if he was resistant about getting her things, he would be in a pleasant enough mood to tell her so, nicely.
"My monthly visiter is back on schedule. Could you get me some things when you come home tonight?"
There. She left it up to him to get things at his own schedule. If he returned home empty handed, he could say he forgot. It might be the truth. It might be a lie. At least she would know the kind of relationship she could expect from him. And maybe he could take care of Kelly while she got the stuff herself.
Her cellphone signaled a message.
"Hank and I have to interview some people in different parts of the city. I can run to a store and drop the stuff off to you while we're out. What do you use and what do you crave?"
Surprised at his kindness, Adalind told him what she preferred.
About an hour and a half later, Nick arrived at the loft with several bags in hand.
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate this." Adalind expressed sincerely.
"No problem." Nick replied, like it really was no big deal. "There's some stuff in there from Rosalee. She said that they are all natural ingredients for a strong tea that will help you but not harm Kelly when you nurse him."
"Oh, that is so nice of her!" Adalind beamed. "I'll call her to say thank you."
Nick held his son while Adalind did what she needed in the bathroom, then gave Kelly a big hug and kiss and said, "I got to get back to work, but I'll try to get home as soon as I can. You don't need to bother with cooking dinner, I'll pick up something on the way home."
Adalind was speechless at his thoughtfulness and could only nod her understanding.
She called Rosalee to thank her for the tea ingredients and express to her how grateful she was. Both for the fuchsbau and for the grimm in her life.
"Rosalee! He actually bought me the stuff I needed!"
The fuchsbau chuckled. "Nick is a really good guy. His masculinity isn't threatened by being near women's issues, as some men call them."
"It is just so shocking. Do you have any idea how many men I've met in my life who all claimed to be tough alpha males, only to discover that they cringe and run away at the merest hint of a woman's natural functions?"
"Oh, I know. Trust me."
As promised, Nick returned home early evening carrying takeout from Adalind's favorite place. He insisted on taking care of most of Kelly needs, like changing and bathing him, so Adalind could relax.
"If you want, I could give you a massage?" Nick offered after Kelly was asleep in his crib.
"Thank you. But no." Adalind said sincerely. "I don't think I could handle any pressure on my back."
A look crossed Nick's face like he wanted to ask something but was hesitant to do so.
"What is it?" Adalind encouraged him.
He sighed and said carefully. "I know that some women can relieve pain by having an orgasm."
"If you're wondering if I'm one of those types of women? Yes"
"What I was wondering, is if you would let me take care of you."
Adalind's eyes grew wide. "You want to,,"
"It would help you relax more and enjoy yourself if someone else focused on you. I could hold you. You wouldn't even need to get undressed if you didn't want to. I could just slip my hand in your pants."
Adalind thought it over a moment. What Nick was offering actually did sound really nice.
They settled themselves on the bed and she relaxed into his arms, sighing contentedly as he kissed her slowly and deeply.
Nick slid his hand down her belly and then between her legs. He placed two fingers on her little bud that was already pulsing. He kept the pressure light at first, then slowly increased it as he stroked a circle over the silky flesh.
He watched her face the entire time, reading her every expression so he was able to know what she liked and what she didn't.
He was able to know to move to one side, then to the other, then back again based on the tiny expressions of her face.
Adalind gasped and gripped onto his wrist as her walls convulsed and a sweet wave of bliss spread through her.
Nick gave her a moment to recover. Then, looking into her eyes, began to caress her delicate folds once again.
"It feels so good." She moaned into his neck.
Nick only smiled and continued to finger her little bud.
Six times he made her come. Six times she felt pleasure wash over her entire being. Adalind could still feel the little shocks and undercurrent of ecstasy as she returned to coherency.
Back to herself again, she looked at Nick and asked, "Do you want me to,,"
"That's alright." Nick interrupted her, but in a gentle way. "I didn't expect anything in return. I only wanted to make you feel better."
Adalind's eyes fluttered and she smiled. "You succeeded wonderfully."
Nick laid her gently down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. He watched for a moment as her breathing evened out and she drifted off to a blissful sleep. He then carefully got up, so as not to disturb her and went into the bathroom, where he pleasured himself with the same hand he had pleasured her with, the look on her face and the sounds of her breathy gasps filling his mind.
