Kenzie had slept all the way home as I carried her into the house she woke up.

"Mommy, you home." As she hugged me tightly.

"Yes baby girl and you can go back to sleep." I told her.

"No, stay up with you."

I didn't fight with her; I really just want to cuddle with her.

"Okay, I am going to put you on the couch and go change really quick." I told her.

"Okay." She replied as I sat her down.

I went into my room changed into a pair of sweat pants and a shirt and pulled my hair up. As I was walking back into the living room, I heard her giggle.

"You funny, tell me another." She had my phone in her hand, must be Emily or Garcia.

She knew better to answer it, but she knew their ring tones so sometime she would answer call from them.

"Will that's not as funny." She giggled making me stop.

"Kenzie, who are you talking too?"

"Will, mommy he tell me joke."

"Can I talk to him?"

"Nope me talk."

"How about I put him on speaker and we can all talk." I told her as I shook my head.

"Okay." As she handed me my phone, I hit the speaker button.

"Did you just get off work?" I asked Will.

"Yes, just got home. I am surprised you're not asleep." Will

"No, Haley fixed me a plate of food; I am warming it up and then going to cuddle with Kenzie." I told him

"Can we watch a movie?" She asked.

"Yes, go pick one out of your room." I told her.

I watched as she ran toward her room; I took Will off speaker phone.

"Hey, adult conversion for at least a couple of minutes." I told him as I sat on the couch.

"How are you really feeling honey?" he asked.

"Tired, I hate cases that involve kids and this one lasted to long."

"You guys were gone almost a week, it has to be exhausting."

"Yeah, I missed Kenzie. I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"I wanna talk too." Kenzie as she came back in the room.

"I'm going to put you back on speaker phone; unless you have to go." I told him.

"Nope, I am yours and hers until you tell me different." He replied.

I started laughing as I hit the button.

"Kenzie, what movie are you watching?" he asked.

"Little Mermaid. You should come watch it with us." She told him.

I stood there for a minute and Will hadn't said anything.

"Umm Kenz remember I told you that Will lives far away and he has to take a plane to get here." I told her.

"Oh, I forgot." She told us.

"Kenzie, it's okay." Will told her.

I started laughing.

"What?" he asked.

"You should see her face, she is thinking about something." I explained.

"I know, then you should come visit when mommy doesn't work, you would like the movie." She told us.

Silence again from both of us, I smiled after a minute.

"Kenzie that's something your mom and I will have to talk about." He told her.

"Don't put me in the middle, it sounds like it's between you and Kenzie." I told him, I didn't have to ask Kenzie was doing it for me.

"Jennifer" he started.

"Peazzzee Will Peazzzee." Kenzie interrupted him as I was trying not to laugh.

"You really will like it. Peazzzee." She continued.

I could hear him laughing.

"Kenzie, we'll have to see." He told her.

"Nope, not see; you should come visit. I said Peazzzee." She told him, I started laughing.

"Does anyone tell you no?" he asked.

"My mommy, aunts and uncles but not Uncle Morgan." She informed him.

"Are you going to be out done by Morgan?" I asked laughing.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes and she said Peazzzee." I replied.

"Kenzie of course, I'll come visit you and your momma." He told her.

"When?" she asked.

"Kenz, why don't you go get your blanket and pillow." I told her.

"Okay, but when." She asked again.

"Will and I will talk about it." I told her.

"Okay." As she went back out of the room.

Once again I took him off speaker phone.

"You play dirty you know that." He told me.

"You could have said no." I told him with a laugh.

"Yeah right, because I would have won."

"Probably not."

"Jennifer are you sure?"

"Are you?"

He knew I was afraid of her getting attached to him and then him changing his mind about us.

"I am absolutely sure." He replied.

"Me too, I was going to ask you but Kenzie just beat me to it."

"Okay, so when are you off."

"We have a long weekend starting tomorrow. I know it's short notice but I really do want to see you." I told him as I got up to put the food in the microwave.

"We are the only couple I know that can do short notice." He told me with a laugh.

I walked back into the living room and turned the movie on for Kenzie, who was sitting on the couch; then went back to the kitchen.

"You are right about that." I told him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"That this trip will be completely different." As I took a bit of food.

"I am not on speaker right."

"Right."

"So what you are saying is that you're not going to be able to take advantage of me as soon as I walk through the door."

"Will, I haven't even thought about that part yet."

"Jennifer, I promise you that I will never hurt either one of you."

"I really do know that, it's just me being me."

"One day, I might understand that."

"You're so funny."

"Kenzie thinks I am. You should go cuddle with her; I'll call you tomorrow with the information on my flight."

"Okay, we'll pick you up."

"Sounds like a plan. Good night, I love you."

"Me too." I told him before I hung up the phone.

I walked back into the living room, Kenzie was almost asleep, I laid down behind her wrapping her in my arms.

"Mommy, is Will coming." She asked.

"Yes, tomorrow night." I told her.

"Good I like him." She told me.

"Kenzie, you haven't met him yet. How do you know that you like him?" I asked.

"Cause he makes me laugh and he makes you smile real big." She replied.

"I love you." I told her as I gave her a kiss.

"I love you too." She told me as she closed her eyes.

Okay, Chapter 2. Tell me what you think.
