A/N:This is something of a prequel to my upcoming story about Jacob and Layla from 'Isabella Nelluc.' It's based on one of my all time favourite songs. I have changed some of the words to fit, but only whether it was a man or woman singing because the song was not originally a duet. Layla's thoughts are in italics, and Jake's are in bold italics.

I do not own the song 'Little Green Apples' or the characters.

Layla turned over and looked into the eyes of her messy husband. She swept her hair out of her eyes.

'And I wake up in the morning

With my hair down in my eyes

And he says hi.'

'Hey,' whispered Jake, and bent his head to kiss her. He rolled out of bed and grabbed the children out of their beds. They shrieked and laughed as he tossed them into the kitchen. Layla watched fondly from the counter as the kids ate their breakfast and went to school. She went over to Jake after the children had disappeared into the distance.

'And I stumble to the breakfast table

While the kids are goin' off to school…goodbye

And he reaches out and takes my hand

And squeezes it and says 'How ya feelin', hon?''

'I love you,' said Layla, laughing. 'That's how I feel every day.'

'And I look across at smiling lips

That warm my heart and see my morning sun.'

Jacob smiled at his beautiful wife and said happily,

'And if that's not loving you

All I've got to say is,'

He sang a chorus in his rough voice and she joined in with a lilting harmony,

'God didn't make little green apples

And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.

And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss

Or Disneyland, or mother Goose, no nursery rhymes.'

They smiled at each other again, and went back to their room to change for work.

'God didn't make little green apples

And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.'

'And when myself is feeling low

I think about her face aglow and ease my mind.'

A/N: What did you think? I know some of you are waiting for updates on Isabella Nelluc, but I thought of this and wrote in the two seconds I had free from doing homework. Please tell me what you thought in a review, because I need to know whether anyone is going to read the Jake/Layla story when I start it. It won't be as soppy as this all the time, but it fit the song so well that I had to do it! PLEASE REVIEW! It will make me write faster, seriously.
