Previously…

He looked at her and didn't see any response. She just lay there motionless. "George told me that you can hear me, so I'm going to give it a try," he said before getting up and leaning so his lips grazed her ear, "I know you are going to come back to me. You take however long you need to heal because I promise that I will always be here waiting for you" he kissed her cheek and returned to his original position.

He sat on the chair, holding her hand and just talked. The doctors and Nina kept telling him that talking to her would help her wake up, so he told her about his day. When he ran out of things to talk about, he talked about the weather or what the gossip was around the firehouse. He was going to do whatever he could to get her back.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Chapter 7- Family gathering

The next morning, Nina walked into the room and smiled at the sight of her brother sitting there holding Mia's hand asleep on the chair. She was sure to be quiet as she walked in and started to check over Michelina's vitals.

She wanted to get everything charted before George started his rounds. She wanted to be sure everything was ready. As she was going over her vitals, she noticed Michelina start to wake up.

She felt the pain, a heavy pressure on her chest. She struggled to open her eyes. Nina noticed and reached for her other hand. She squeezed her hand. "Mia, come on…can you hear me? Just try and wake up" she urged.

Michelina opened her eyes to the bright lights and tried to flutter her eyes to keep them open. She squinted and tried to squirm. "No, it's okay. You're in the hospital. Just try and relax" she said before looking over at Kelly.

Michelina followed her gaze and smiled a little. She squeezed the hand he was holding. He stirred but stayed asleep. Nina walked over and shook her brother awake. Kelly stirred awake and took a second to gather his bearings.

When he noticed Nina, he jumped up and turned to see Mia looking at him with a smile on her face. Kelly smiled and leaned over to caress her cheeks. "Hi princess," he said. She couldn't talk because of the intubation tube, but she smiled and a few tears fell down her cheeks.

He caressed her cheeks and leaned over to kiss her forehead. "Don't cry. You're okay. Everything is going to be okay now that you're awake" he said.

Nina walked out to page George and call everyone at the firehouse. Nina met them all in the hall. When Chief Boden got the call from Nina, the whole house got in their trucks and ready to go, lights and sirens. They all got the firehouse and skidded to a halt when they saw Nina.

"She's awake…she still has some residual effects. George and I need to do our exam" she said. She waved them to follow her down the hall. They all stood outside the window of Michelina's room and smiled when they saw her awake. She looked up and smiled at them with a wave.

George and Nina walked in to start their exam. "Kelly you are going to have to wait outside" George said.

Michelina panicked. Her eyes flew to his and she squeezed his hand as hard as she could. She was not letting go. Kelly looked back at George and Nina, "I can't leave her" he said.

Both George and Nina noticed how tense she got when Kelly got up to walk out. She stiffened up. She got scared. It's like she needed Severide's strength to rely on.

George nodded, "yeah that's fine, he can stay. I just need you to relax Mia" he replied.

Kelly sat back down and cupped her head, "I'm not going anywhere. I promise you" he said to her. She smiled and squeezed his hand.

George took out his pen light and Nina grabbed her chart to update everything. George looked into Michelina's eyes to see how her pupils reacted to the light, asked her to blink her eyes, track his pen, wiggle her fingers and toes and squeezed his hands. Basically, he checked all her reflexes while Nina wrote everything in her chart.

He finally took out his stethoscope and checked her lungs and pulse ox. Her reflexes and vitals looked good. "Okay, we are going to take you off the vent. I know you know how to do this, but the main goal is to try and relax" he said as Nina got everything ready.

They put a spit rag around her neck, grabbed the bucket. "Okay Mia, on the count of 3 I need you to breathe out" he said.

She grabbed Kelly's hand and squeezed. She knew as a doctor that these things were uncomfortable. Nina had the spit bucket ready under her chin. "Okay on the count of three breathe out," George said.

"One…"

"Two…"

Kelly squeezed her hand and tried to stay out of the way but wanted to be there for her.

"Three, breathe out" he said.

Michelina took a big breathe and breathed out. She could feel the plastic tube coming up her throat. When it was finally out, she started coughing and gagging. Nina held the bucket under her chin and took a wet cloth to her forehead and her neck.

"It's okay, just take easy breaths" she tried to soothe her.

Nina wiped her chin and helped her lay back. They wanted to hold off on the oxygen and see if she could breathe on her own.

"I'll leave you to visit" she said.

Once they were alone, Kelly held her hand and wrapped his other hand around the top of her head, mindful of her stitches and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

"You scared me shitless princess" he admitted.

"Kelly…" she wheezed.

He knew she wanted to talk about Katie and explain things but he also knew that she needed to rest to get her strength back.

"Don't even worry about it okay. I know why you kept it from me. I messed up Mia. I completely acted like an idiot. I was a selfish ass, only thinking of myself. I should have noticed that you were pregnant. I was so wrapped up in my own shit that I just lost my head. Didn't really think about anything else, especially my family. But now, I know Katie is mine and she just gets to me. She totally takes after you in the smarts department. She's the perfect little girl anyone could ask for and I guess I am asking you if it's okay that I want to be in her life" he said.

She let a few tears fall and smiled. "She needs a dad and she's super lucky that her dad is you" she replied before reaching out and wiping a few of his tears.

"Well good, because she got one" he replied.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Sorry, we couldn't wait anymore" Shay said as she came rushing in with Nina and Gabby to greet Mia with a little hug.

"We are so glad you are okay" Hermann said.

"Thank you all for supporting me and Katie" Michelina replied.

Clarke came in and put his arms around Nina. "That little girl is running circles around us all. She's a little ball of energy. We are glad she's part of our family now" he said.

"She loves anything related to firefighting" Michelina commented.

The guys from 51 stayed for a little while and visit with her. They were really glad that she was okay and on her way to recovery.

Johnny wasn't able to make it until after shift. He walked into her room and saw that she was asleep with her hand in Kelly's. He knocked slightly and walked in.

"Hey man" Kelly greeted.

"Hey, how is she? Is she really okay?" Johnny asked.

Kelly rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "Ahh, Nina said that she is doing okay. She's breathing on her own. They are saying she is doing well. We just want her to keep breathing on her own. We need her lungs to keep working and for her to steer clear of infection," Kelly informed.

Johnny let out a breath of relief. "Thank God" he said going over to kiss her forehead. "We're pulling for you Rocky, you just have to keep fighting" he kissed her forehead.

"Johnny, Lt. Severide" they both turned around to see Chief Danny De Luca.

"Dad" Johnny greeted.

"How's she doing?" he asked.

"She's hanging in there" Kelly replied.

"Dad, since you are here, Kelly and I are going to get a beer. I know Mia would want Kelly to get out here" he said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kelly and Johnny sat at McLaren's bar. Johnny was trying to stay tough. He was trying to keep a strong exterior. On the inside, Kelly knew he was struggling. Michelina was his only sister, his little sister. Seeing her like this was not easy for him.

"This is an interesting place" Johnny quipped. He didn't know about this place. Usually the guys hung out at Molly's.

"Yeah, this is where I first saw your sister after the divorce," Kelly started. He took a swig of his beer before continuing, "I flirted with her, I didn't recognize her. Then she proceeded to kick my ass in pool" he informed with a smirk.

He remembered that day like it was yesterday. Johnny laughed, "I'm not surprised, I taught her how to play when she was little" he added.

"God I remember that day like it was yesterday" Kelly stated.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-Flashback-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Michelina walked into McLaren bar with her friends from work. They were residents. Just passed their boards and came to celebrate. They got themselves a table in the back and ordered a round of drinks.

"So what are we celebrating tonight ladies?" the bartender asked.

"We just passed our boards and are officially fellows" Silvia said in her Spanish accent. It only came out when she was angry and when she got drunk.

"Well my congratulations. The first round is on me" he replied handing them the tray of drinks.

"Thank you" Silvia said as she carried the tray over to the table.

"So, since we are finding you a man tonight Mia, I think we should start with those firefighting hunks" Noelle said pointing to the front table.

Matt, Kelly and Andy were sitting in McLaren's after shift. "This seems like a nice place" Andy observed. Kelly was looking at the table to the back. The one with all the girls.

"Check out those three girls back there. They are hot" he commented.

"I have a girlfriend and Andy is married. You are the only single one and you are a player" Matt quipped.

"Shut up! I think I have a shot with one of them at least" he stated.

"Look Mia, they are looking over here. I think the one in the middle is interested in you" Noelle said.

"I am not looking for a guy right now" Michelina said.

Michelina walked over to the bar to get something to eat. All the alcohol was getting to her.

"I'm going to make my move" Kelly said before walking up to the bar next to her.

"You're order will be right up honey" the older lady said.

Michelina smile at her, "Thank you" she replied politely.

Kelly walked up to her and leaned on the bar next to her, "Do you come here often?" he asked.

Michelina rolled her eyes and was about to tear this guy a new one when she turned around and surprised when she saw Kelly Severide. She hadn't seen him in a few years. She quickly got over the shock and turned angry.

"Did you just try and hit on me?" she asked with her hands on her hips.

Kelly was at a loss for words. "I didn't recognize you. You look different" he observed.

"Yeah I cut and dyed my hair. I can't believe you just hit on me" she argued.

Kelly put his hands up in surrender. "I am sorry okay. I didn't know it was you. What are you doing here anyways? This isn't your usual hang out" he asked.

"Noelle and Silvie wanted to check this place out" she informed.

"Well, would you like to join us?" he asked pointing to Matt and Andy.

She smiled and waved at them. They were watching amused. "No thanks, but I will do you the honor of kicking your ass in pool" she teased.

Kelly laughed and wrapped his arms across his chest. "Really?" he replied.

"Yeah really. We may not be together anymore, but I will always be your friend Kelly" she said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-End Flashback-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Johnny couldn't help but laugh. "That sounds like my sister. I wanted to pummel you when I found out what happened, but I knew she would hate me for it. She's always going to love you Kelly. That's not going to change" Johnny informed.

"I would have kicked my ass if I was you. I really messed up with Mia. I became my worst nightmare. I became my father. I abandoned my daughter" he said as he took another chug of beer.

Johnny put the beer down and let out a big breath. "Kelly, it doesn't really matter what happened in the past. We can't change it. Katie knows about you know and trust me, she is not going to let you out of her life. She's got her dad and she ain't lettin' you go" Johnny said.

"Well I promise that I am going to be the best dad that I can be. I just need to figure out how to fit in her life, in both of their lives" he admitted.

"You just be her dad. As for Mia, you have to work for her trust back" Johnny informed.

"Yeah, she's stubborn as hell. You know your sister. She doesn't listen to anyone. She has a big heart. Did you know before we got married, she used to bring dinner every time I was on shift?" Kelly asked.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, every time she used to bring dinner over, the guys would freak. It was like feeding time at the zoo. If when we got divorced, when I saw her at the bar, she brought dinner the next shift"

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-Flashback-NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

The next shift after seeing Michelina at McLaren's Kelly was still reeling. He couldn't help it. He missed her, he didn't realize how much until he saw her again.

They were all on shift and it was crazy busy. They all just wanted to chill and relax for a break before it got crazy again.

"So Mills what's for dinner?" Capp asked.

Before he could answer, they heard the Chief come in. "I think I can answer that" Chief Boden said. He as carrying a pot. The guys looked at him confused, until Michelina stepped out from behind him with a smile on her face.

She was holding another pot. "How about beef stew, some Italian white bread for dinner and some pezzels, and double chunk chocolate brownies for dessert?" she teased.

"Oh, Thank you God" Mills groaned in relief. He was relieved from kitchen duty.

"Heaven sent us an angel" Hermann commented as he took the bags from her arms.

She smiled and set everything up in the kitchen. Kelly came over and stood awkwardly with his hands stuck in his pockets.

"What are you doing here Mia?" he asked.

"I brought dinner. I told you last night Kelly, just because we aren't together anymore, doesn't mean I don't still care about you guys. You guys are my family. Always have been, always will be. I know from Johnny that things have been rough, so I figured you could use a break" she replied.

"Thank you" he said.

She smiled and nodded, "You're welcome" she answered.

Once she got everything set up, she grabbed her stuff to go. "You aren't staying?" Otis asked.

"No, I have a big day at the hospital tomorrow. You guys enjoy though" she commented as she bundled up.

Casey came over and gave her a hug. "It was good to see you Mia" he kissed her cheek as he pulled away. She smiled and returned the kiss, "you to Matt" she replied.

She said goodbye to Andy the same way. "Bye Darden, I'll be seeing you with Heather at the hospital" she whispered in his ear. He smiled and gave her a big hug.

"I'll walk you out" Kelly said.

She grabbed her purse and nodded. She turned to all the guys, "you guys be safe" she said before walking out with Kelly.

He walked her all the way to her car. She got herself together and leaned against the door facing him. "Thanks for walking me to the car" she said wrapping her coat tighter around her. The weather was changing and it was getting cold out.

"Thank you for coming by with some dinner" he replied.

She shrugged, "it's no big deal. You have a safe shift okay" she said.

He nodded, "can I hug you?" he asked.

Michelina smiled and reached up to wrap her arms around his neck in a hug. Kelly wrapped his arms around her waist. "I'll always be here for you. Don't forget that" she said as she kissed his cheek before pulling away.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-End Flashback-NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Johnny let out a little laugh. "Yeah, that sounds like my sister. Always there for her loved ones. She's always going to care about you Kelly. You are her daughter's father. You're always going to be in her life. Which way is up to you two" Johnny said.

That gave Kelly a lot to think about. He knew that Michelina and he needed to have a talk. He needed to figure out how he fit into their life.

The next day, he was off from work. The next morning, he got up and skipped out on breakfast. "Kelly, where are you going this early?" Shay asked.

He grabbed an apple and his gym bag. "I am going to have a picnic" he replied shooting her a wink.

She just watched confused as he grabbed his stuff and walked out. She had no idea what he was talking about but he looked happy so she let it slide.

Kelly got to Chief D's house in record time. He already called ahead of time, so the Chief knew what was going on. He pulled into the driveway and parked next to Johnny.

He knocked on the door and waited. He couldn't help but smile when he heard little pounding feet running towards the door. It swung open to see his little princess in her pajamas that he bought her smiling up at him.

"Hi Daddy" she greeted before launching herself at him. He laughed and picked her up in a hug. He carried her in the house and shut the door behind him. "I missed you" she added.

Kelly kissed her strawberry blond curls, "I missed you too baby girl. Were you a good girl for your grandpa?" he asked.

She pulled away with her arms around his neck. "Yeah, but I had to go to bed early" she pouted. He laughed and walked into the kitchen with her in his arms. He smiled at the domestication he felt. It felt normal, it felt right.

Johnny was there with his partner and the chief was making breakfast. "Hey Severide" he greeted. Kelly put Katie at the table so she could finish her breakfast. "Hey Johnny, how's it going?" he asked.

"Can't complain. Kelly Severide, this is my partner, Angela Corano" Johnny introduced. Kelly shook her hand, "Please call me Angie" she said. He smiled, "Kelly. Nice to meet you Angie" he replied.

Johnny bent over Katie and kissed her head, "I'll see you later kiddo," he said. Angie got her bag and her coat before standing at the doorway. "You're leaving?" Katie asked.

"Yeah I got to go to work and catch the bad guys" Johnny replied. The Chief sniggered. Johnny wanted to be a cop his whole life. Ever since Kelly has known him, that's all he could talk about. Naturally, the chief wanted him to follow in his footsteps and be a cop.

"Be careful Uncle Johnny" she said before reaching up and giving him a hug.

"Don't worry munchkin, your uncle is like batman. He survives anything" he teased before giving her one more little kiss before walking out.

Kelly took a seat next to Katie at the table. "Do you need any help Chief?" he asked. Chief De Luca laughed, "You mean do I want you to burn my house down, no thank you" he replied. Everyone knew Kelly could burn water without even trying.

Once Katie was all finished, she took her plate and put it in the sink. "I'm done daddy" she said. "Okay, go wash up and get dressed. We are going to see Mommy today" he replied with a smile when her face lightened up.

She was super excited. She ran upstairs and got ready in record time. She made her dad braid her hair and make it look nice. She wanted to look presentable for her mom.

Kelly said his goodbyes to the chief and watched as his daughter did the same. "Bye grandpa" she gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. "Bye angel, you say hi to your mom okay" he requested. Katie smiled and nodded before turning to grab her dad's hand.

Once he got her buckled into her seat, he took off to the hospital. He planned a whole day with Mia. She was in for the surprise of her life.

At the hospital, Katie became extremely excited. She hasn't seen her mom in a long time and she missed her. She wasn't used to being away from her. Outside the door, Kelly knelt to his daughter's eye level. "Okay baby, we have to be on our best behavior and keep our inside voices okay. Mommy is still really tired from her surgery" he said.

"Does she still have tubes daddy?" Katie asked worried. She didn't want to see her mom sick.

"No baby, but she does have some nasal oxygen. It's just help her get better" he explained. Katie took his hand and nodded. She was ready.

Kelly smiled at her courage and opened the door. Mia was sleeping. She looked a lot better than before. Her color was back and Nina did her hair in a side ponytail. Other than being in the hospital, she looked relatively normal.

He walked in and put his bag on the couch. Katie just stood there silently waiting. Nina was asleep in the chair next to Mia's bed. She was in her scrubs, with her white coat over her as a blanket. Kelly walked up to her and shook her awake.

"Kell, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I am going to stay with Mia. Me and Katie are going to spend the day with Mia. You go home" he said. She nodded and got up to get her things. Once she had her bag, she grabbed her coat. After giving her brother a kiss and her niece a hug, she made her way home.

Clarke was making himself some breakfast when he heard the door open. He was surprised to see Nina walk in. She told him that she was going to spend the day in the hospital with Mia. He was really worried about her. She was beyond tired.

She dropped her bag by the door next to his and walked into the kitchen. "Hey babe, I thought you were going to stay with Mia in the hospital" he said. She just walked up him and wrapped her arms around him and cried in his chest.

Clarke instantly became concerned. He put down the spatula and wrapped his arms around her, caressing her hair. He figured she was worried but she hasn't broken down yet. "Shsh, it's okay. Let it all out" he said.

She pulled away and smiled up at him, "I'm sorry. I got your shirt all wet" she played with the wet spots.

"Hey," Clarke cupped her face and wiped her tears away. She looked up at him with a solemn look on her face, "don't apologize. You are allowed to feel sad and worried. She's your best friend. But she would want you to take care of yourself. You have been wearing yourself thin since Mia got sick. I am going to treat you to a day of pampering" he said wiping some hair from her neck.

He got behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her back into him. "All day…me and you…a day of relaxation…and best of all…no clothes required" he said in between kisses. Nina smiled and wrapped her arm up around his face. "I love you Jeff" she said in all honesty.

She didn't know what she would do without him. He's her rock. Helped her through the worst times. "I love you more Nina" he countered with a kiss to her pulse point. She moaned and went limp against him.

Breakfast forgotten, he held her up when he felt her sag. He wanted everything to be about her. He knew she needed this. She wanted this so bad. She needed it. She missed him so much.

Clarke turned her in his arms and smiled. He picked her up and wrapped her legs around his waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck so support, so she wouldn't fall. He carried her upstairs, down the hall and into their bedroom.

He let her down next to the bed. He pulled back and cupped her face to kiss her. She smiled against his lips and pulled away before things got too passionate. It was sweet how gentle he was being for her. He wanted to make it good for her.

He walked her around the room and dimmed the lights, he reached into the closet and pulled out a bag. "I had this planned for when you got home tonight but I guess now will do" he said as he took out the rose petals and placed them around the bed and the floor. He really didn't have time for anything else. He was planning on doing all that during the day.

She looked at him with more tears in her eyes. "It's beautiful" she replied. She loved the thought. Once he spread them around the room, he walked back over to her and took her hand, she squeezed his hand and walked with him to stand next to the bed. "I love you" he said.

She smiled and closed her eyes as he leant down to kiss her. He slowly let his hands wander and started to undress her. He broke the kiss to pull her top off. He trailed his hands down her back to the clasp of her black lacey bra and took it off. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned as his hands made their way to her waist band.

He undid the tie on her pants and pushed them down. He let her clothes fall and pool at her feet. She smiled when she saw him smirk at her. She knew he loved black and he loved her in black lace. It only turned him on even more. He hooked his fingers into her panties and kept his gaze on hers as he pushed them down.

He walked her backwards until the back of her knees hit the bed. "Lie down" he instructed. She did just that and got comfy in the middle of the bed and smiled as he laid down next to her. "Close your eyes," again she obeyed. She had a huge smile on her face. She was enjoying the sensations and he didn't even touch her yet. She couldn't imagine what the night had in store for her.

"Just feel okay, don't think. Just let the feelings overwhelm your senses" he whispered before kissing her forehead. She smiled and couldn't help but chuckle. "Really, it's our romantic night and all you could think of is the Pillsbury Dough Boy?" she asked. He smiled against her forehead, "shsh, no talking" he replied.

"I just love you so much. You have been stressing out over everything and I want to just take care of you today" he said. She tried to hold in her tears, "I thought we weren't talking" she counted.

Using just his mouth, he explored her body. He started at her forehead. He planned to get to every part of her. He kissed her on the tip of her nose and then brushed his lips across hers. He nuzzled her neck before giving her a love bit. He bit at her pulse point. She arched and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her with a moan.

She's never seen Jeff acting like this. Usually she was the one to start everything or they would just get to it. He's never been spontaneous like this before. The last time they were like this was when he first told her he loved her a few years ago. She was enjoying every minute of it. He kissed each breast and laved the undersides. He kissed her stomach and then dipped his tongue in her navel. He wanted to make this good for her.

She moaned loud and arched of the bed. She clawed at his back. She wanted him as close as humanly possible. He worked his way down her leg until he reached her feet. When he kissed the foot of her arch, her back flew off the bed. "Clarke" she moaned.

She didn't know that the amount of attention he gave her foot would shoot right to her center. She was beyond delirious. She just wanted him. She didn't want to wait anymore. "Clarke" she tried again. He smirked, with a dark chuckle he moved to her other food before making his way up her other leg. He completely ignored her throbbing core to pay meticulous attention to every single one of her fingers.

Nina was trembling with pleasure by the time he dropped another kiss on her mouth. When she felt his hand cup her hips to hold her down, she thought he would just get it over with. She couldn't take anymore torture. It was too much. She was on cloud nine. Her whole body was on fire. Every single nerve in her body was firing.

She didn't want to wait anymore, she just wanted to do it already. She couldn't hold out anymore. She knew he wanted to make this for her, but she couldn't wait anymore. She didn't want to put an end to his spontaneous gesture, so she kept quiet.

He helped her to turn to her stomach. He sat behind her and pushed her hair to the side, he kissed the nape of her neck and felt her shiver beneath him. The time, he used his hands to pleasure her. Pressing his thumbs on either side of her spine he massaged her back. She curled her muscles inward and moaned when he pressed her tight spot. He ran his fingertips down her spine and smiled when she arched forward and moaned.

"Please…" she cried.

He ignored her and trailed his lips down her back and nipped the back of her knees. Nina whimpered, moaned and sighed as proving his total mastery of her body. He knew her better than anyone. Only he could make her feel this way. By the time he was finished touching her, Clarke's hands were shaking and he was so hard it hurt. He couldn't take it anymore. He needed to be with her again. He held in his need and made it about her. He wanted tonight to be about her needs, not his.

She felt drunk and high all at the same time. She couldn't even think of forming a normal sentence. She smiled at the gentleness of his touch. This was her boyfriend. This is the guy she loves. It took them a long time to get to this point. It was rough when Jeff got back from the Marines. He had a rough time getting readjusted. He only let a few people see this side of him and she was one of the special ones.

"Stretch your arms over your head" he instructed as he dropped a kiss on her lower back. He was so close to where she needed him to be. She did what he asked, hoping he would soon be joining his body to hers. Jeff stretched out over her warming her chilled skin. He placed his feet outside hers as he totally surrounded her with himself.

"You feel so good" he whispered into her ear before he turned her over to look into her eyes. "You are so soft and silky. I love you so much, I love being with you like this. I want this to be all about you" he kissed around her lips.

"Please Jeff" she whispered, gasping for air as she involuntarily lifted her hips. "Shsh, it's okay. Just tell me what you want, tell me how you need it" he used her words against her with a smirk on his face. She glared at him, she knew her words would come back and bite her in the ass.

"Please Jeff, please I need you inside me…please" her voice cracked as she told him. "I need to be there too. Just lie here and let me make love to you" he had a plan. He wanted to give her as much pleasure as humanly possible. He wanted to make her feel the way she made him feel the other night. Letting one hand go, he slid it under her hips urging her up so that he could wrap around her waist.

Once she was ready, he placed his arms on either side of her head and looked right into her eyes. "Are you ready? You're sure" he asked. He just wanted to make her feel the way she made him feel since he met her. She helped him so much after getting back from the Marines.

She smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're joking right? I love you Jeff. I will always be ready for you because I can't believe I found you and have you in my life" she said. She cupped his face, "I want this because I want you" she added.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss her as he thrust into her. It took a matter of seconds for Nina to cum screaming his name. He continued to thrust into her and found his release seconds later. His whole body shook, he just fell on top of her. She smiled and cuddled him to her body. She kissed the top of his head, and held him as they came down from their high.

He wanted to stay nestled in the heat of her body but knew that he couldn't so he pulled her up and kissed her with gentle passion. She pulled away and smiled down at him. She rested on his chest and traced his jaw line. "I love you more than words can say, you do know that right? I've loved you since the moment I saw you" he said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the hospital, Kelly walked up to the bed and braced himself on either side of her head. He slowly leaned down and kissed her forehead. She turned slowly and started to stir awake. She smiled when she saw Kelly. "Hi" she greeted. He smiled back that she looked better and felt better.

"Hi, so I know that today you are feeling better. Nina told me that last night you did good last night and you were getting out of here soon" he said.

"I am so bored Kelly. I just want to go home. I miss my little princess. How's Katie?" she asked.

His grin got bigger, "well, why don't you ask her yourself?" he replied. She looked at him confused for a second before he moved out of the way and she was able to see her little princess sitting on the chair. Katie came over and smiled at her mom.

"Hi mommy, are you feeling better?" she asked.

Mia started crying and laughing. "Oh baby, I missed you so much" she said. Kelly picked up his little girl and sat her on the edge of the bed next to Mia. Katie reached down and gave her mom a little hug. Michelina squeezed her daughter tight against her. She missed her so much.

"I love you angel. I missed you so much. Are you okay? How's school? Are you being good for your dad?" she asked all at once.

Kelly laughed. He let mother and daughter reconnect while he set up the lunch. "What's all this?" Mia asked as Kelly set up her hospital table. "Well, I figured since you couldn't really get up yet, we would have a family picnic and reconnect with each other" he said.

Mia looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I think that's a perfect idea. What do you think baby? Want to have a picnic with mommy and daddy?" she asked her daughter.

Katie smiled at her mom and dad, "Family picnic" she replied.
