RICKY'S POV:

After settling Jacob into bed that night I made my way into the living room, flopping down on the sofa next to Brax, reaching for a slice of pizza and the beer he'd bought for us, a soccer game on the TV…

"Can we not watch something more interesting?" I questioned as I rested my head against his arm

"Just catching the highlights" he informed me, taking a sip of his beer "I'll put a movie on in a sec. Did Jacob go to sleep okay?"

I nodded… "Out like a light. The beach must've tired him out"

"Tires me out too" he admitted "saying that, you look tired as well"

"Do I? I feel fine" I informed him

"Nah, I think you're tired" he replied, turning the TV off, setting his beer bottle down on the coffee table along with mine "I think we need to go to bed so you can get as much sleep as possible"

"Brax, what're you doing?" I proclaimed as he picked me up into his arms and carried me towards the bedroom

"I don't want you collapsing from tiredness. I kinda love you" he explained

"I kinda love you too" I mirrored as he set me on my feet again "but I'm not tired"

"You are" he informed me, his face lowering so our foreheads were touching "you really are"

"Yeah, I really am" I replied, gasping as Brax's lips connected with mine passionately

BRAX'S POV:

The next morning I was out in the kitchen making coffee for Ricky and I when I felt her arms wrap around my waist, her lips pressing kisses to the bare skin of my back…

"Morning" I greeted her as I focused on making us a cup of coffee each

"Morning" she mirrored "you coming back to bed anytime soon?"

"Yep, just organising you your morning caffeine fix. I know how you get when you don't have it"

"And what's that supposed to mean?" she asked as I turned to face her, a smirk on my face

"You get grouchy" I informed her, kissing her softly as I handed her the cup "drink it, babe"

She huffed as she took the cup from me and I chuckled, taking a sip of mine… "What're you doing today?"

"I have an appointment with a potential client in Yabbie Creek this afternoon" she replied "and then I've the shopping and the housework to do"

"So I'm guessing you'll want Jacob out from under your feet?" I asked, raising an eyebrow

"You're a mind-reader. Yes please" she stated, smiling "just don't be plying him with ice cream because I'm cooking his favourite for dinner. I'm gonna hop in the shower"

I nodded and she kissed me quickly, hurrying into the en-suite bathroom…
