“Rio was a great idea.” Amanda was all smiles as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of the wind through her hair. The sun, the salty air … It was so relaxing. The children had a playdate with Aubrey, so it granted Niels and Amanda some alone time. Niels’ arms slid around Amanda’s waist. “I haven't seen you this relaxed in a long time,” he said.
“I know. It's really nice feeling so relaxed again,” Amanda agreed. She leaned close to press a kiss against his cheek. “It’s been a great Valentine’s Day too,” said Amanda. Niels grinned at her. A cheeky grin accompanied with a naughty sparkle in his eyes. Amanda knew that look all too well. “The day isn’t over yet,” he said. He turned Amanda towards him, his lips softly brushing against hers. He was always amused by Amanda’s belly getting in the way, pressing against him. Just as Amanda deepened the kiss, there was a firm kick between them. “Oi!” Niels exclaimed, laughing as his hands moved to his wife’s belly. “Little man doesn’t approve, I take it?” Amanda burst into laughter. “Apparently not,” she said, glancing down. Now amusement danced in both of their eyes Niels knelt down and pressed a kiss against Amanda’s stomach. “Hey there little Valentine,” he said. “Feeling left out?” Another little kick, against his hand this time. Niels chuckled. “Okay, fair enough. We haven’t forgotten about you, I promise. We’re really looking forward to meeting you, but before that time comes, I’m going to steal some of your mummy’s attention. Do I have your permission?” He smiled up at Amanda, who couldn’t resist laughing once more. “Maybe we should just go for a walk,” she said. “A stroll along the beach? Perfect.” Niels stood again, pressing another quick kiss against Amanda’s lips. He took her hand in his. “No worries,” said Amanda. “Maybe you can… warm me up once we get back to cold, wintry New York.”
