Authors Note: This is dedicated to the wonderful way a TV show is always
interrupted by the commercials just when you're the most interested
in
it. Also, this is basically a PWP, I guess. It really has no
plot. The idea for those two characters together stems from the
episode
Perfect Strangers except that I've altered the ending of
it since I
haven't gotten to see the whole episode yet. Hope you
enjoy. :) :)

Potty Break
by Adia
Thatcher and Kowalski were eating breakfast together. His usually
candied coffee and something resembling a Pop-Tart. Thatcher had
finished her eggs and poured the remainder of her orange juice down the
sink into the drain. Kowalski hooked a finger through the handle
of his
mug and held his toasted breakfast in the same hand. With
his free arm
he wrapped it around the front of her stomach.
"Don't leave yet." A slight plea in his voice.
"Ray, I really must be going." She turned to face him only
to find his
expression clouded with disappointment. Thatcher poured
it on thick,
making up for it, even calling him, "Honey, really
I have a high power
meeting a O-900 hours."
"I know. Tell me about it. Yer always busy. Fact, yer the single
busiest
pregnant woman I've ever met." He gently rubbed his
hands on the silky
fabric covering her stomach.
"Don't remind me." She resented the fact that Kowalski couldn't
take
over for a while, "I feel like a live, gigantic Buddha!
Look at me,
Ray!" Her eyes were tearing up and she dropped
her arms to her sides
helplessly.
Kowalski set his breakfast aside and gently knelt down on the kitchen
tile in front of her. He lightly slid his warm hands under the hem
of
her blouse and reached to unbutton the top button of her slacks.
By the
time he had completed his task Thatcher was leaned against
the kitchen
counter running her fingers through his soft blond spikes.
He slowly let
the fabric around her waist drift to just below her
new small round
belly.
Wait a minute, "No, no, no. Ray. Please! I can't do this now."
Isn't
this how it all started in the first place?
"Relax." He whispered soothingly and pressing his burning lips
to the
skin just below her bellybutton. The heat that brought traveled
all the
way through her making her forget everything. Who gave a
damn about a
high powered meeting? Let Fraser handle it!
Of course complete control hadn't been lost untill Ray got the clever
idea of softly pressing his tongue into her bellybutton. Just then
her
head fell back and started to sway. She pulled Kowalski closer
to her
and made a soft warm sound. Her eyes closed and her hips
started to
gently rock as his fingers trailed circles on the smooth
skin of them.
The sound of Kowalski's voice made wonderful images
invade her mind.
Forget working today. That was now impossible.
He whispered easily, "You
are so beautiful. More and more beautiful
each moment."
She couldn't help the tears filling her eyes.
All she could think about
was how on earth he could still find her
attractive, even beautiful,
when all she could feel was ugly. How
he thought she was beautiful was
beyond her mental grasp. All she
knew was that it was him that made her
feel this way. Made her feel
beautiful. Made her feel loved.
My how pregnancy hormones had changed
her. The Inspector's days of being
a royal witch were, so far for
now, behind her. Kowalski missed that
side of her a little bit.
That was what made him fall for her in the
first place. She had
reminded him of Stella in the way she was always
commanding everyone
and everything around her. The more he got to know
her, the more
he started to fall for her. Come to find out, she wasn't
like Stella
at all. Appearing to be made of ice, but not all the way
through
like Stella had become.
If it hadn't been for Fraser and his ability to put things into a
logical perspective neither of them would have given eachother a second
thought. During a case involving an acquaintance of Kowalski's and
a
Canadian waitress-in-the-sky both being murdered Fraser had mentioned
the topic of the Inspector wanting to have a child. The more Kowalski
mulled it over and the more the Inspector contemplated it, the more
it
became the wisest decision for either of them. Their child would
be the
most loved child to ever grace the face of the earth. Loved
beyond all
words. Funny thing was, neither of them expected that
the love they
already had for their unborn child would grow. Turn
into a love for
eachother. One strong and unbreakable. One long
conceived before their
child. Genuine. Faith-filled. Continuos.
Kowalski brought himself up to stand in front of her. He places his
hands on either side of her waist while she angles her head to kiss him.
He lets his head fall closer to her. Thatcher's hot mouth covers
his and
her tongue slips past his parted lips slowly. Moving inside
him feeling
as though she's recovered something she'd lost long
ago. As though she
belongs. Feeling like she's found her home. Kowalski's
hands begin
slowly sliding down her body finally finding their place.
Just above her
knees. He scoops her up and places her on the cool
marble of the kitchen
counter.
His kisses leave a trail down from her mouth. Thatcher scoots closer
to
the edge to wrap her legs about his waist tightly. He rests his
open
mouth on the pulse point at the base of her neck letting his
warm breath
heat her skin. The feel of her heart beat made his hands
tremble. Never
being able to fully grasp the way she makes him feel.
The way she causes
his whole being to be filled. Filled with a sincere
warmth that made him
only want her more. Want to surround her and
be protected by her. The
pounding of her heart beneath his tongue
made a heavenly sound leave his
lips. With a soft moan she leans
her head back against the wood of the
cabinets and her eyes gently
close.
Soft spikes of his blond hair tickle her neck and chin. Her hands rest
upon his shoulder blades under the soft fabric of his white T-shirt.
Amazed once again by his warmth. Always warm. In the dead of winter,
lying in the snow beside him, nothing but heat. Like bathing in
warm
rays of sunlight even in a blizzard. His skin tingled under
her
fingertips. Letting herself revel in the sensation of his skin
smooth
under hers she moved her hands slowly down his curved back.
Feeling
alive.
His lips curled around the top button of her blouse. Taking the button
between his teeth, tugging at it. Effortlessly his tongue pushed
the
button through the hole. Her breath caught in her chest as he
began a
full appreciation of the newly bared skin before moving
on the do the
same to the next button. All the while keeping his
hands busy by tracing
his burning fingertips in circles on her hips
and the small of her back.
Successfully making her loose all sight
of reality. Wanting never to end
the electricity that flowed between
them. Pulling them together, like
static. Never wanting to leave
what she always seemed to be consumed by
when he touches her. A
feeling of an endless void being filled while his
voice barely breaths,
"I love you." Words that aren't always just
spoken. But
still received in any form by her soul's life.
Under his shirt her hands drift down to the waist of his jeans. Pushing
them down just slightly. Moving her hands to the front she hooks
both
her index fingers through the belt loops of his pants. Pulling
him
closer to her with a sharp tug. Pressing him to her untill she
could
wrap herself around him. As her fingers move to the zipper
of his jeans
they suddenly still. Her whole body tenses. Her eyes
pop open wide.
Kowalski notices her sudden cease and lifts his eyes
to meet hers. Such
great concern in his eyes. Caring for nothing
but her comfort. Before he
could ask if she was all right she unwrapped
herself from him
reluctantly. She slid off the counter and started
running for the
bathroom. Offering only, "I have to pee!"
He slumps over onto the empty
space on the counter where she was
only moments ago. Feeling a slight
disappointment, he sighs heavily.
Perfect timing. Noting to himself that
most good things are usually
interrupted by potty breaks.
