Paris, France - December 2, 2009 - 9:00 PM Softly falling snow was blanketing the city as a crowded Hummer limousine made its way through the evening traffic. Twinkling lights of the season greeted the passengers as they gazed out over the brightly lit streets. From inside the warm vehicle, Lexi Blair grinned as Ben plastered his face to the window in awe and then laced her fingers through her husbands. Jo and Curse sat across from them and the babies were all safely strapped in car seats beside their respective parents. To set the mood to perfection, christmas tunes played softly in the background and a feeling of excitement filled the air. "Wow... would you look at all those lights?" Lexi exclaimed as they passed by a huge park that looked to be a winter wonderland. "And I thought the good ol USA had a flair for the season. Isn't this just BEAUTIFUL?"The two families had been planning this trip for some time now. Life had been hectic and filled with insane drama and both couples had decided some time away from the hustle and bustle would be perfect. It would give them some nice quality time while still taking care of the christmas shopping needs. Since Jo had never been overseas, it would be extra special for her. Knowing this, no expense had been spared and the arrangements were made with the finest hotel in Paris along with full time nannies and at their beck and call transportation. Glancing across the aisle at Jo, Lexi smiled and kicked her softly. "So... Is this the life or what?" she teased. "Who would have thought a few years ago all this would be possible? Makes you really thankful doesn't it?"Then, glancing at her husband, she kissed him softly and laid her head on his shoulder. It was truly the season of love.

JoJo chewed on her lip as she looked out the window, watching the city go by. It was a breath taking sight. Everything decorated for the holidays. The lights made the snow sparkle and Jo was mesmerized. She couldn't believe she was really in Paris. In a limousine on her way to a luxurious hotel. She really still thought of herself as the girl from small town Nebraska. How she ended up here was still kind of a blur to her.
Sitting next to Curse, Jo leaned against him and smiled at him. The twins were contently sleeping in their car seats, lulled to sleep by the moving vehicle. The anticipation was mounting. She felt like a little kid, it was all she could do to not ask "Are we there yet?" Everything was amazing so far and she couldn't wait to see the hotel.
Jo looked over at Lexi as she felt her foot nudge her. Jo grinned and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, it is. It's amazing. I'm so excited. I never thought this would be me, my life. Definitely makes you appreciate things and count your blessings." She gave a soft sigh as she started to stare out the window again. It was all so beautiful and seemed so peaceful from inside the limo.

Curse was glad to see that his wife was enjoying herself. That was what the vacation was all about, after all. It seemed like getting away for a bit was the best thing they had done in a long time. Life had a way of getting out of hand and some relax time was always called for. He'd been to France once or twice but never during the Christmas season. Various diplomatic mission had kept him busy so this would be his first actual time in the city that he would get the chance to look around.
"There is a sense of history here I think.... America is so young compaired to other countries and you can almost feel it in the air." he drawled out before smiled at his wifes comments. "Believe it Darlin... This is your life.... Just don't get to use to Paris because I'm a bit partial to home. Paris is an expensive city to live in" he teased.
Turning his gaze to the others, he gave them a wink and then checked on the twins. At 3 months, they were more alert and even now, Jake was awake and looking about him. Sebastian started to jabber across the isle and Curse had to smile. It all seemed so... surreal.... at times. Him a father of two? And a husband? All in one year? How many more blessings could a guy have?
Just then, the limo pulled up to a brightly lit building and the hunter saw a bellman rush out to greet them. Evidently, they had arrived at their destination and as the man opened the door, Curse stepped out and offered a hand to his wife.
"Looks like we've arrived......Come on Darlin... Lets get settled in..."

JoJo sat quietly for the rest of the ride. Snuggling up against Curse and watching the view roll by the window. She was happy they were able to take a vacation. To Paris no less. But, mainly she was happy to be able to get away from the day to day responsibilities of their life back home for just a little while at least. Not that she didn't love her life at home. It was just nice to not have to worry about the bar, the house, cooking meals, and her mother hovering around a lot lately. They were going to have to deal with getting her mother her own place.
Blinking her eyes a few times she tried to clear her mind. Push away the intruding thoughts. It was exactly what they were supposed to be getting away from. Jo wrapped her arm around Curse's middle a little tighter and just let herself get lost in the warmth of his body and sound of his voice when he spoke."Looks like we've arrived......Come on Darlin... Lets get settled in..." Jo grinned, then bent down and made sure both babies were bundled up in their blankets before she grabbed one of the carriers. Leaving Curse to get the other one. When she stepped out of the limo she took a moment to look around. The hotel was huge, the grounds were beautifully decorated. She was still feeling that sense of non-belief that she was here, that all this was real. It was almost like she was going to wake up from a dream any second and it would all be gone.
Walking the short distance from the limousine to the front entrance the door was opened for her automatically by a uniformed door man. She smiled at him and nodded as she walked in. Again she had to stop for a second and take in her surroundings. The hotel was magnificent. It was way beyond any placed she'd ever stayed before. More than she could ever have imagined. As they walked toward the desk to check in she suddenly felt out of place and felt the need to clutch onto Curse. She took in a deep breath to steady herself. She just needed to get used to this. It was going to be a great vacation.

Smiling at the bemusement on Jo's face, Curse lifted Tessa's carrier and then followed her into the hotel. People bustled to and fro and gold lights seemed to glow from everywhere. It was Paris at its finest celebrating the Christmas season.
Taking his wife's hand, Curse moved to the desk and gave their name and reservations. As the man typed them up and then smiled widely, he greeted them enthusiastically.
"Yes, Yes.. Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Jordan. We are so pleased to have you staying with us. Our two best penthouse suites are reserved for you and a .. Mr. and Mrs. Blair? It says here that you are traveling together?"
Nodding, Curse glanced over his shoulder where Lexi and Max were just entering the hotel with Bastian and Ben. The couple were talking to the estatic teenager and Lexi laughed at some comment that was made before making her way towards them.
"Yes, we are. They are right behind us but we are anxious to get settled in. Its been a long trip with the twins." the hunter returned.
Nodding wisely, the man handed them funny little keys type objects and then a card.
"The key will allow you to unlock the penthouse floor from the elevator and the card will unlock the rooms. We keep extra security up there and a nanny has been throughly investigated for both you and the Blairs."
Then, clicking his fingers, he waved to the bellboy who was just bringing in the luggage and directed him to take the bags up to the top floor. Nodding, the man hurried to the baggage elevator and went on up to await their arrival.
Turning back to Jo, Curse wrapped an arm about her waist and pulled her towards the glass column leading upwards to the sky. As they stepped inside, he leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"So.... What do you think? Was it worth the effort of flying?"

JoJo smiled as Curse took her hand. She stood quietly as Curse handled getting them checked in. Her eyes still wide taking in the beauty of the place. She flinched a little when the man mentioned the penthouse and glanced sideways at Curse but she didn't say anything. Taking the little key things and card that was handed to her she put them into her shoulder bag. When Curse put his arm around her she leaned into him as they walked. While they rode up in the elevator Curse asked her if it had been worth the flight over. All Jo could do was grin at him and respond with, "Hell Yeah." Jo snuggled up beside him and rested her head on his shoulder while they waited out the ride up. It was a surprisingly short and very smooth ride considering they were going all the way to the top floor. When the elevator stopped and the door opened Jo stepped out with Curse.
It was a bit different from what she was used to at a hotel. Instead of being in a long hallway it was more like a foyer or lobby of it's own with two doors one on each side. It seemed they were the only rooms on that floor. Sticking close to Curse the moved to the door that led to their suite. The door was already opened and the bellman was unloading their luggage.
Once again Jo was finding herself mesmerized by the sight of the place. It wasn't just a room. It was a huge suite of rooms and it was very elegantly and lavishly furnished. Jo set the baby carrier down and urged Curse to do the same. Then she tugged on him so she could drag him around the suite and look at everything.
Standing in what was a very large living room there were big comfy couches, recliners and arm chairs arranged in a sitting area that faced an entertainment center that housed a very large flat screen TV. There was even an actually dining room area with a real dining room table and chairs, not some rinky dink table with wobbly chairs.
Jo giggled as she moved around the place. Going from room to room. The master bedroom suite had a huge canopy bed that looked quite inviting. It also had it's own entertainment center with the TV mounted on the wall. She gave Curse a wicked grin as she looked into the master bathroom. It had a large double shower as well as one of the monster size jacuzzi bathtubs that looked like it could fit 6 people. She was definitely looking forward to trying that out.
Reluctantly pulling herself away from the master suite she moved onto the other bedrooms and peeked in. There was a room for the children. Already set up and furnished with cribs and everything they needed. There was another bedroom which Jo assumed would be for guests or the nanny. Then there was another full bathroom. Not as fancy as the master bath but still, quite the set up.
Finally they ended up back into the main living area again. Taking another look around the room she spotted the large glass French doors that led to an outside balcony. She didn't care if it was cold outside she had to go see. Grabbing Curse again she pulled him with her, opening the doors and stepping out onto the balcony with him. There was a full set of patio furniture out there. A table and chairs where if it was warmer you could set and eat. There were also a couple of nice big comfy lounge chairs and Jo could see them cuddled up out there with a nice warm blanket to enjoy the breath taking view. It was remarkable.
Jo couldn't help the excitement that was bubbling up in her. She turned and wrapped her arms around Curse. Pulling herself close to him and kissing him hard for a long moment before she pulled away. "I LOVE IT. It's beautiful. And... Have I told you how much I loved you lately? I'm really glad we decided to do this." She couldn't keep the silly grin off of her face. Her arms still holding her husband as she took another look at the view. Happiness enveloped her.

(JP Jo, Curse, and Lexi. Some moving of characters done here for thread purposes)
Watching Jo wander around the room, Curse had to grin. She was obviously happy and it felt good to see it. There had been so much tragedy in their short time together that it was passed time to just be able to enjoy each others company and that of their friends and family. New Orleans was a hot spot for supernatural activity and the tension was thick enough to cut with a knife. What, with the holy war hovering over their heads and the crazies coming out of the woodwork.. It was a miracle either one of them had time to breath , much less spend time just relaxing together. Paris had been the perfect escape.
As she approached him and wrapped herself around his body, he in turn put his arms around her. Her declaration of love made him laugh and he gave her a long kiss.
"I think you have but I'm not above hearing it again a few million times." he teased before spying a young woman hovering in the door. "Ah... Mademoiselle LaBlache.. Please come in... This is my wife, Joanna Jordon. Our twins are asleep in their carriers!"
"Excuse me, Madam.. Sir? I am Mademoiselle LaBlache. The hotel has hired me to look after your enfants?" she said shyly.
Drawing his wife along, Curse leaned down and undid his daughters carrier and picked her up. "This is Tessa... our baby girl. Jacob is in the other carrier."
Jo smiled up at him after he kissed her again. Then her eyes turned to follow his as he looked toward the doorway. Jo nodded as Curse introduced her to the nanny. It just added to the overall feling of being sureal when he called her Joanna. Not that she minded, she actually kind of liked when he called her that. It was just strange to hear sometimes. When she was younger people called her Joanna but after her dad died she had fallen into being Jo.
Jo moved and went to the other carrier and unbuckled Jake from his seat. Snuggling him up close to her before she brought him over to the young women to see him as way of introduction. "We call him Jake... I've never really had a nanny fulltime for the babies before so forgive me if I'm a little nervous." The woman gave her a smile as if she understood. "It is no problem Madam... I'm at your disposal. I would much prefer a mother who worries about her children than those that see them as a hindrance and gladly leave them with me without even looking back."
Again Jo gave a little nod and held Jake out to her for her to take.
"Well...I guess you should get to know them. Here's Jake if you'd like to take him. They really are pretty good babies. It does get a little crazy sometimes if they both decide they need attention at the same time. But we've been managing it." Jo gave a little laugh thinking about some of the times when both the twins were fussing and her and Curse both had their hands full. As the nanny took the baby from her Jo moved over a little closer to Curse. Holding onto his arm as she watch the new caregiver interact with Jake.
Everything seemed to be going fine. The woman had a soft touch and immediately seemed to take to the boy. Still a little nervous about leaving the babies, but excited at the same time. Jo was practically giddy with anticipation. There were so many things she wanted to do, so many places to go and things to see,... Not to mention she could also just curl up with her husband in bed all day too. Sure, technically she could do that at home if she wanted... But here there were going to be no phone calls, not interuptions for business or anything else. They could just relax and move at their own pace. Grinning up at Curse she asked him. "So.. What do you want to do? Stay here and settle in or go out and see something? I have to say I'm a bundle of energy right now and I can't decide what I want to do. I am hungry though... so whatever we do I think food should be involved."
Watching the woman closely, Curse was satisfied by the way she handled the whole situation. She was obviously used to children and geniunely seemed to enjoy them. That put his mind to rest since he didn't want to have to worry about the twins the whole time they were here.
Evidently, Jo came to the same conclusion because after observing for a few moments, she turned to him and asked what he wanted to do.
"Well, Darlin... I'm about fine with anything but I do think food sounds wonderful. Why don't we see if the others are hungry and find the nearest eatery?"
Before he could say anything more, another face popped into the doorway and Lexi was smiling at them. "Hey guys.... Max recieved an emergency call so he had to take off for the London offices. Ben and I are hungry though... Bastian is with Ms. LaBlance's sister so they should be fine with the babies.... You guys want to come with us? I'm famished since I havent eaten since this morning and there is a great little pub around the corner!"
Glancing at Jo, Curse frowned and then shrugged.
"Sure.. Sounds like fun to me. To bad Max had to run off. This was suppose to be about fun.. no business."
Rolling her eyes, Lexi nodded. "Yes but Nick is a slave driver... He always has been. I think he looks at this vacation as a good oppurtunity to make Max handle some of the load. I have a feeling we won't be seeing much of him."
Trying to hide her dissappointment behind a bright smile, the blond continued. "Come on you too! We can walk over there and enjoy the city lights. I'm sure you'll enjoy them Jo!"
Shaking his head, Curse nodded and looked at the nanny once more. "You have our numbers right? So if you need anything, please call! My wife or myself will be available at all times."
Nodding, the young woman beamed at them and then went to sit down with Jake. Curse gentle put Tessa in the swing that the hotel had provided and then watched as the infant settled back to sleep. Taking his wifes hand, he said goodbye to the girl and then headed for the door. "Let's go then..."
Jo was just about to respond to Curse's question when a familiar voice came from the doorway. Jo gave a bright smile to her friend that turned into a concerned look when Lexi had mentioned Max having to handle some emergency with his company.
She heaved a little sigh and glanced over at Curse, exchanging a look with him. Jo knew that Lexi had to be disappointed, despite the smile and happy face she was putting on. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot that Jo could do about that, maybe smack Max upside the head the next time she saw him she thought to herself. Letting the thought go for now, it wouldn't do to let it ruin everything. They could still have a good time and enjoy themselves. "Yeah, we were just talking about going to see if you guys wanted to get something to eat. So that sounds great. I'm starving."
Waiting a moment while Curse got Tessa settled she smiled again when he took her hand. She gave a little wave to the nanny as they left the suite. They all took the elevator down and then walked outside. Lexi lead the way to the pub she had mention. Jo walked with Curse, tucked up beside him and taking in the sights as they walked.
They arrived at the quaint little pub and all headed inside and found a table. Jo took off her long brown leather trench coat and draped it over the back of her chair before she sat down.
"Wow... this place is nice and cozy don't you think? I really am starving. What's good to eat? I've never really had French food before. I don't think French fries count right?"
She gave a little chuckle as she looked at her companions then picked up a menu and started reading.
Allowing his wife and their friend to lead the conversation as they passed the distance, Curse smiled at the teasing and chatter before ruffling Ben's hair and giving him a soft shove.
Snow was still falling down gently but it was a light, feathery dusting that seemed in harmony with the world. Once they reached the small eatery, he got them all situated at a table
When the waitress approached he ordered an ale and took the menu. Since it was in french, he turned to his wife and went over things with her. He knew she would probably recongize some of the words for lore research and such but French was also the language of love so he enjoyed teasing her with it.
Rolling her eyes at the pair, Lexi helped Ben order and then got a goblet of wine for herself. Her gaze went around the pub and then settled back on the other couple.
"So... I know we had shopping planned maybe tomarrow but what do you guys have in mind? I would like to check out a few of hte libraries and museums."
Nodding, Curse agreed. "That sounds good.. but lets not make it to early.. I want to take advantage of having a nanny and being able to sleep in for a bit"
Jo sighed as she looked through the menu somewhat surprised that it was in French. She shook her head knowing she shouldn't have been surprised, it was just something she didn't think of. They were in France, of course everything was going to be in French. She took a deep breath, feeling a little inadequate again. Out of her element. The others, Lexi and Curse both had been abroad and seemed quite comfortable with it all.
A frown creased her face as she tried to sort out what the menu said. It seemed like a lot of crepes were on the menu, at least that was a word she recognized along with quiche. She desparately tried to remember what the word for snails was because she knew that was a popular French dish and she wasn't too keen on ordering that by accident. There was also some kind of fish stew she was aware of that was popular and that just wasn't her kind of thing. She was wracking her brain trying to figure out what the hell the French words for steak or burger was when much to her relief Curse leaned over and helped her with the menu and she whispered quietly to him. "Ok. So I'm not a world traveler. Steer me away from snails, fishy stuff or weird internal organ type foods. Steak or chicken would be good."
Jo nodded as he pointed something out and tried to help her pronounce the French words. Finally getting the ordering out of the way Jo handed the menu back to the waiter who took their order. She had ordered a glass of wine so she sighed a bit and took a long drink from the glass as Lexi spoke again.
Jo couldn't help but smile again. She was still excited about everything. Nodding enthusiastically as Lexi mentioned a few things. "OH MAN! I want to see EVERYTHING. Whatever you want to do first is fine with me. Libraries, museums, the Eifel tower... I'm sure shopping will ensue throughout the whole trip, but yeah we could take a whole day just to do that too. Just point me in the direction you wanna go and I'm there."
Jo gave a little chuckle then felt a little sheepish as it probably seemed she was acting about as hyper as a kid in a candy store. A knowing grin spread across her face as Curse commented on not making it too early in the morning and wanting to be able to sleep in. Snickering a bit she muttered under her breath. "Yeah, I think we might be doing more than just sleeping in." Then she raised her eyebrows as she glanced over at her husband sitting next to her.
Grinning like a mad man, Curse settled back to enjoy supper and the evening. Laughter and chatter rang out over the little group as they relaxed and waited for their food. Soon enough, they were all stuffed and Lexi was stiffling a yawn when the hunter looked at her.
"OH LOOK! Mrs Blair is tired.... So much for an all night party animal!" he teased before standing up and taking Jo's coat to help her into it. "What do you all say we call it an early night and get some rest before we head out tomarrow? We can do all those things we were talking about then and maybe Max will be back to join us. How does that sound?"
When there was a chorus of agreement, he paid the waiter and then led the little band back to the hotel. Leaving Lexi and Ben to go to their suite of rooms, Curse guided Jo back to theirs before checking on the babies. Once assured that everyone was where they needed to be, he grinned at his wife and poured her a goblet of wine. Pulling her to stand in front of the huge balconey windows, they gazed out over the city as snow blanketed the sky.
"I love you, Darlin... I hope you know that..... I wouldn't do this for just anyone ... and even if we never do it again... I want you to enjoy it and have the memories we can make... If you decide you don't like being abroad... well, we will always treasure this time.. right? I love you just the way you are so don't you ever worry about what you are or aren't familiar with."

Paris…the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Centre Pompidou, Musee d'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe...Max had been there before a few times, but he’d be locked inside the hotel room with his goddess of a wife if she let him…and let’s not forget Nicholas!
Max loved his brother, but he’d like to smack his brother in the head for wanting him to leave his wife in Paris and go off to sort some mess. But he would have to smack himself in the head as well for letting himself be convinced. It was that or having to live with Mel’s complaining incessantly that she needed time with his brother since they were trying to get a new baby, and that was so much Max could take of it.
It was a quick flight to London, what wasn’t all that quick was the business meeting with all those suits complaining about stupid stuff and details. Who said running a multi-billionaire company would mean having to babysit a bunch of annoying old geezers?
Somehow Max managed to survive through it however, it was less messier than changing Bastian’s diaper, but a million more times less compelling. So after just a few hours of sleep, he had managed to get on a plane and back to the Paris’ hotel where the others were still fast at sleep.
Giving a smile as he gazed at the sleeping beauty in the bed, he forgot all about being tired. It was one of the perks of being married to the sexiest and hottest woman he ever saw. Taking a seat on the bed, he gently leaned down to place a kiss upon her lips.
“Does a kiss awakes my sleeping beauty or do I have to be more creative about it?” he asked her in a playful and teasing whisper.

Having enjoyed an evening meal with her friends and Ben, Lexi was more than ready to check on Bastian and then turn into her cold bed. Snuggling into the soft pillows, she sighed and wished Max was there but knew he'd be back as soon as he could. The flight and excitement of the last few days caught up with her and soon she was sound asleep as the snow fell down over Paris.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of a beloved, familiar voice woke her from a warm sleep and the press of lips against hers was the best awakening ever. Knowing instinctively that her husband was home, Lexi pushed at the covers and then snagged an arm around his neck. Blinking blearily, the blond smiled up at a dark visage and brushed a long lock of blond hair out of her face.
"Hey baby..... Your back already? Business taken care of? No more unexpected trips?" she whispered huskily. "I missed you.. This bed is WAY to big for just me.... I actually got to sleep all night long without Bastian waking me up once..."
Drawing him down into bed with her, she eyed him.
"You, however, look like you haven't slept at all... Why don't you get naked and crawl into bed with me? We don't have to be up and about for hours yet and you look like you could use some rest before going and and about."
Kissing him softly, she played with a strand of his ebony hair.
"Did I tell you how glad I am that your back?"

The sweet aftertaste of her lips remained on his as Max gazed at his wife believing to be the luckiest man on the world. No man that saw a goddess like her smile as she just woke up, knowing he was the reason of that smile, would commit the heresy to think any different as a smile crept into his features.
“No more unexpected trips, it is all sorted out and I’m not stupid enough to leave bed while there is such a beautiful woman in it,” he replied to her truthfully. “I got only a couple hours of sleep, but I wanted to be here when you woke up. I wanted to see that smile in your face, because without it my whole day would be ruined.”
Placing another kiss upon his lips, he smirked and sighed when he pulled back slightly. “There is nothing I want more, but I’m afraid…that if I lose my clothes and climb under the covers with you the last thing I will think about is sleeping.”
As much as his affirmation was through, he was unable to stifle a yawn. Only his brother to manage to come up with a reason to make him leave his wife alone in Paris and having him fly to London to talk with a few old geezers in suits.
“I don’t think you did,” he replied to her, “but that bright smile on your lips told me so.” He nodded and smiled before getting rid of his shoes and suits and moving to lay in bed with her.

JoJo was glad to get back to the hotel suite. As excited as she was to be there, a little unwinding was in order. They had enjoyed dinner and it was nice to take that walk back and forth to the pub. Right now she was perfectly happy to be here with her husband as he handed her a glass of wine.
Letting him guide her over to the balcony they looked out over the city. The view spectacular and all the snow gave everything that holiday feel. Jo sipped her wine and turned to face her husband while he spoke. Another drink from the glass and she set it down on a nearby table. Jo let out a brief sigh before she said anything. "I know... I know all that... I just... Honestly I feel a little bit like Cinderella. Out of place and afraid everything is going to go away at midnight. I'll end up back at the bar with my mother or in some crappy motel room ALONE trying to figure out how to take down some supernatural 'thing' without getting myself killed in the process. I'm just a small town girl who's still not used to all of this." The petite blond moved closer to her husband. Putting her arms around his neck she pulled herself up so she could kiss him softly. When they broke apart she looked into his eyes. "I love you so much, sometimes I don't even know how to handle it. It's like I can't breathe without you. I've never felt that way before and I'm scared to death that something might take it away from me." Jo let out another sigh, this one much heavier. She reached out and took up her wine glass again. Draining what was left of it before she set the empty glass back on the table. Then she shook her head and gave her husband a slightly sideways look as she tilted her head to the side. "Christ, I'm sorry. I got all rambling right there. It must be all the traveling. Maybe we should call it a night and go to bed. We need to get some rest if I'm going to drag you all around the city tomorrow." She gave him a playful grin as she raised an eyebrow at him.

Laughing huskily, Lexi moved over in bed as he took of his shoes and clothing before crawling into the warm haven with her. Letting her fingers trail over his bare chest, her impish nature got the best of her and she set about showing him just how much she had missed him. When she was done, they both dropped back off to sleep only to be awakened a few hours later by a tap on the door and a loud squeel of a baby.
"Excuse me... Madame? Sebastian has been crying for his parents.."
Blinking blearily, Lexi opened her eyes slowly and frowned. At first, she didn't know where she was and then she realized that she was snuggled up to her handsome husband in the City of Love. Groaning a bit, she poked at him and sighed.
"All right, Ms. LaBlanc... We'll be out in a moment!" she called out before looking at Max. "Baby... Can you see to your son? I need a quick shower and he no doubt is missing you. He looked for you last night."
Then, sliding from the warm covers, she kissed him and glanced at the windows to see that the snow had stopped and the city looked new and innocent. Energy seemed to enfuse her then.
"Come on sleepy head.... I want to see the city!" she called before heading for the bathroom in her birthday suit. "I'm sure Jo and Curse will be ready by the time we are. Why don't you ring them and see?"

Stirring in the bed, Max instinctively cuddled closer to his wife and groaned against the intruding banging noise at the door. He hadn’t had nearly enough sleep, but the sound of a baby crying snapped him into attention…or maybe it was his wife poking him, regardless he was awake.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he opened them in time to watch the very naked form of Mrs. Blair as she moved towards the bathroom, it was a sight worth to behold and one he could get enough of.
Slipping off the bed, he slipped back into his pants and his shirt, without bothering to button it up as he moved towards the door to greet the babysitter that held his fussing son. Picking him up into his arms, Max smiled down at little Sebastian and spoke to him in a soft voice. “What is it son? Dad missed you.”
In that moment Max could swear that Bastian stopped crying instantly and smiled, and that little sight was enough for him to forget that he hadn’t enough sleep and instead was full of energy.
Giving a smile and a nod to the babysitter as she excused herself, he sat on the bed with his baby in his arms and allowed his son’s tiny hands to grasp firmly to his index finger for a moment before reaching for the phone and asking reception to transfer his call to the Jordan’s room.
“Come on guys, we didn’t come to Paris just so you guys could sleep the whole day…” he said playfully as he heard a familiar voice in pick up in the other end.

Smiling down at his wife, Curse hugged her closed and kissed her hard for a long moment. He knew this was all new to her but he wasn't going anywhere any time soon. Sweeping her up into his arms, he carried her towards the big, soft bed that awaited them. There, he set about showing her just how much he loved her and removing all of her misgivings. When they were both two tired to move, he pulled her into his arms and they drifted off into contented slumber together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Next Morning
The blaring of the phone next to the bed brought Curse awake with a sudden jolt. Glancing at the clock, he saw it was almost noon and groaned before realizing Jo was still curled up next to him. A smile spread over his face before his palm connected with the reciever and he pulled it off its resting spot.
"This is Jordan.. You better have a damned good reason for bothering me!" he snarled into the phone playfully, already knowing who was probably on the other end.
“Come on guys, we didn’t come to Paris just so you guys could sleep the whole day…”
Rubbing a hand over his stubbled jaw, Curse pushed himself up a bit and felt Jo stir beside him. Grinning at her sleepy expression, he held the phone to his ear with a shoulder and pulled her in for a morning kiss.
"Damn it Blair... I"m in bed with my gorgeous wife... I'm not leaving it just cause your ugly ass wants to go shopping." he retorted back, grinning wickedly all the while. "Where the hell are you anyways? Lexi know your back?"
THen, over the line, he heard Bastian jabber and his question was answered.
"Never mind that... " he said just as a knock sounded on their own door and the nanny called out. "Hmmmmm.... Seems like the offspring are giving their sitters fits this morning.... Your lucky I have to be awake anyway, Blair..."
Swatting Jo's bare rear playfully, Curse climbed from the bed and pulled on his jeans. Striding to the door with phone still to his ear, he plucked Jake from his nanny and was told Tessa had just gone back to sleep. Smiling at the woman, Curse shut the door again and took the little boy to his mother.
"Give us a chance to get showers and something to eat and then we can meet in the hall and figure out what we want to do. I'll ring you when we are ready!"
Hitting the end button, Curse smiled down at his wife and son and said ruefully.
"Well, this isn't exactly how I envisioned waking up but... Beggers can't be choosers I guess!" he teased.

JoJo had fallen into a deep blissful sleep, still snugged up against Curse after they had made love. The next thing she was aware of was a noise that started to pull her from the depths of her sleep. Then she felt Curse move, then his voice.
Yawning and rubbing her face, she sat up beside him. Smiling at her husband as he paused from talking on the phone, slid her closer to him and gave her a kiss. As he went back to the phone conversation Jo laid her head on his chest. Closing her eyes she would have been happy to just curl up with him and go back to sleep but then there was a knock at the door.
Jo let out a bit of a sigh but before she could make a move Curse was already out of the bed and into his pants, still talking on the phone. Letting out a small yelp as Curse smacked her on the ass before he moved to the bedroom door. Jo wrapped the sheet around her tightly and sat up against the head board while her husband took their son from the nanny.
Jo snuggled the infant as Curse handed him to her. Kissing the top of his head, touching his face softly and talking soothingly to him. She looked up at her husband as he ended the phone call and grumbled good-naturedly about being woken up by the call. "It's fine. It was about time we had gotten up anyway. If you want to take a shower first I'll get Jake settled back down, then you can order us up some breakfast while I take a shower." Giving her husband a warm smile she stretched up to give him a quick kiss before shooing him off toward the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A short time later...
After showers were taken, breakfast was eaten, Jo and Curse spent a little quality time with the twins. Once the twins were settled back down and back in the care of the nanny they were ready to head out to meet up with Lexi and Max.
Jo was excited to go out and see Paris. Grinning she tugged on Curse's arm to get him to hurry up. Pulling him along out the door of the suite, out into the grand foyer of the penthouse level.
(We can do whatever you guys want from here. If we all want to go do something together. Not sure if we still want to have some of that stuff with the Elemental plot line start popping up while they are out or what?)
