Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

It had been almost two weeks since Doc had been home, having spent a good deal of time back on Shasta getting some much needed work done there. What made it bearable was that Midori had spend much of it with him, bringing Emiko with her. They had returned to Tombstone only a day before Doc himself finally did. He walked in his front door and found Midori feeding a squealing Emiko.

"Feeding time, I see," he said as he walked in, leaning over to kiss his wife as she fed a messy faced Emiko some soft foods.
"That it is," she said with a chuckle, "She like bananas now we try some rice."
"Well, she does seem to be eating it so that's good," he answered, "I'm going to put my bag upstairs. I'll be back down shortly."
"Hai," she replied with a smile.

It took him awhile but he packed the contents of his bag. He hung up his robes and got into some sweat pants and a bath robe. He returned downstairs to find Midori playing with Emiko.
"My turn," he said as he sat next to his wife and took Emiko, placing her on his lap, gently bouncing and tickling her a bit.

"She so loves you, John Henry," she said with a laugh.
"That she does, Dahlin', he answered with a smile.
As time went on, both would enjoy time together with their daughter as she went between the two before letting out a big yawn and finally falling asleep.
"I got it," whispered Doc as he picked her up and carried her to her bed where he lay her down and covered her up. As he did, Midori brought a bottle of Gallic Wine and two glasses to their room.

"Out like a light," he said softly as he entered the room. He then smiled as he saw his wife standing before him in her Kibuki gown, pouring two glasses of wine. He just smiled at the site and accepted the wine glass she offered.
"It has been awhile since we have time alone," she said.
"Yes, it has," he answered softly.

He raised his glass to hers, "To you."
She just smiled and toasted, "To us."
They klinked glasses and sipped. He then put his glass down half-full.
He gently placed his hands on her gown where it began to split, "May I help you with this?"
"Hai," she whispered, putting her glass down as well, allowing him to reveal her to him, her doing the same to him. Tonight was there night as the light was extinguished.
