Chapter 7

45 minutes later...12:45 pm.

Jackson pulled into their driveway, and stopped the car. They were home at last. He opened the passenger door, and helped April out, before going around to the back door. He opened it, unbuckled the car seat, and gently lifted their daughter out and into his arms.

"Hey, princess. We're home." he whispered, before giving her a kiss, and handing her over to April.

He wrapped an arm around her waist, and all three of them headed inside.

1 hr.15 minutes later...2:00 pm.

Since they had been home, Jackson and April had unpacked, taken Kaitlyn up to the nursery, since she was still asleep, had lunch, and were now just cuddling together on the couch.

"Jackson?"

"Yes, April?"

"Have you ever had a really good friend, who, over time, you realized you were starting to have feelings for?"

"What kind of feelings?"

"Well, caring for them a lot, missing them where they're not with you, not being able to get them off your mind, always wanting to be with them, no matter what."

"April, what's going on? Why are you asking me this?"

"Well, because yesterday, shortly after Kaitlyn arrived, I got to asking myself that question, and the answer was yes. Then, I asked myself if I felt all those feelings, and again, the answer was yes."

"April, what are saying?"

She laid on top of him, and put her arms around his neck. "What I'm saying," she said, getting lost in his gorgeous blue green eyes, "is that I" she lifted up his shirt, revealing his perfectly chiseled chest and abs, and kissed it. "am" she kissed him on the left cheek. "in" she kissed him on the right cheek. "love" she kissed him on the left side of his neck. "with" she kissed him on the right side of his neck. "you." she finished, kissing him on the lips.

He smiled, sliding his hands down her back and onto her ass, before pulling her closer to him, and deepening the kiss.

Then, before they knew what was happening, they were on the floor doing, well, what came naturally.

About half an hour in, however, the baby started to cry, stopping them before they could go any further. They both jumped up, hurriedly threw their clothes back on, and ran upstairs to the nursery.

April was first to reach the crib, reaching down, lifting Kaitlyn up to her shoulder, and walking around the room with her.

"Sssh, ssh, it's okay. Mommy's here." she whispered, kissing the side of her head. She thought this would have helped calm her down, but instead, the crying just got louder. Then, however, she had an idea.

"Jackson, could you take her for a minute?"

He looked at her. "Of course, why would you even have to ask?" He took the baby out of April's arms, and into his. Immediately, immediately, she stopped crying.

April shook her head, and smiled. "I should have known. I guess all she wanted was her daddy."

He smiled, and started talking in his baby voice. "Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You're just daddy's little girl, aren't you? He kissed her on the cheek. "Now, why don't we be a good little girl, and go to sleep, because mommy and daddy need their sleep, too."

He laid her in her crib, and as soon as he did, she fell asleep. April looked at him, as if to ask how did you do that?

"What can I say? I guess I just have the magic touch." He wrapped his arm around her, before leaning in and kissing her. "Now then, what do you say we pick up where we left off, so that I can show you the magic touch?"

They both smiled as he literally swept her off her feet and carried her to their bedroom, closing and locking the door behind them as he did.

* I know it's a little soon after having the baby for them to be doing this,but I just couldn't pass it up. That, plus the fact that I couldn't figure out where else to go with it. *
