Chapter 9
"So who want's pizza?" Maureen asked as she walked into the apartment, with Jake hanging on her back in the piggy back form.
"I do!" Jake called out.
"Can we stay up and watch a movie tonight too?" Ally asked, as Joanne carried her into the apartment.
Joanne shook her head. "You my dear are going to bed early for calling mommy the 'B' word."
"Mama!" Ally whined, her arms tightening around Joanne's neck. Her lips soon formed into a pout, and she kissed Joanne on the cheek. "I love you."
"Sorry Ally that's not going to work this time." Joanne smirked.
"But I love you!" Ally whined again and buried her face against the lawyer's neck and began to sob.
"Somebody is cranky." Maureen stated.
"I'm not cranky!" Ally argued.
Joanne set Ally on the ground. "Why don't you go take your cranky pants off, and change into your PJ's?"
"Fine." Ally huffed, and Joanne sent her on her way with a gentle pat on her bottom.
"Can I stay up?" Jake asked while sliding off of Maureen's back.
Joanne walked over to him and pulled him into a hug. "Yes you can. You will also never leave my sight ever again." She said and pulled him in tighter.
"Mama…I can't breathe." Jake said, his eyes averting to Maureen for help. "Mommy…she's gone insane."
Maureen giggled. "Come on Jo…let the poor kid go, he's been through enough."
Joanne nodded and sniffled, while pulling away. "I'm just so happy you're okay."
Jake nodded, he couldn't help but get teary eyed and flung himself towards Joanne for another hug. "I missed you mama."
Just then Ally walked out of her room half naked, with her arms crossed. She came to a stop in front of everybody, and jutted out her foot, with her hip sticking out, and in the most attitude she could muster up said, "Somebody is supposed to help me get changed!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Ally sure was good at brightening up the mood with her little four year old diva attitude.
"Well…" Her eyes landed on Maureen. "Mommy? Let's go!"
"You are such a diva." Maureen smirked. "And you know who doesn't like divas?"
"Who?" Ally questioned with a raised brow.
"Monsters!" Maureen shouted and began chasing her back into her room.
"Mommy no!" Ally squealed in delight, and tried to get away, but Maureen scooped her up and cradled her in her arms.
Ally couldn't control her giggles as she let Maureen carry her into her room.
"So how about that pizza?" Joanne asked, and Jake nodded.
After dinner, and after Jake watched a movie, he was sent to bed. Maureen and Joanne were now cuddled on the couch together, watching a late night talk show, enjoying the nice calm atmosphere after being through so much.
During a commercial Maureen lifted her head off Joanne's shoulder, and turned her attention to the lawyer. "So what happens now?"
Joanne turned her head to face Maureen. "What do you mean?"
"With Sara."
"Well…they take her in for questioning, and if they find her guilty enough they will send her to jail. If not, then we have to go to court." Joanne explained.
"Oh." Maureen simply nodded.
"Let's not worry about that until the time comes." Joanne said. "We have Jake back and that's all that matters."
"Okay." Maureen smiled. "I do know something we should worry about though."
"What's that?"
"How I haven't gotten sex in a very long time." Maureen answered with a seductive grin.
Joanne leaned in with a smile of her own, placing a quick peck on Maureen's lips. "Maybe I should take care of that right away."
Maureen could only nod as Joanne pushed her on her back and slipped her tongue inside her mouth, savoring the feeling of being in familiar territory. It however ended all too soon for Maureen as Joanne pulled away and climbed off of her.
"Hey!" Maureen whined. "I was enjoying that."
Joanne giggled and reached out for Maureen's hand, pulling her up. "Me too, but I think we should carry on in the bedroom. The last thing we need is for one of them to wake up and find us naked on the couch."
"Good point." Maureen said, and wrapped her arms around Joanne, so they could kiss all the way to their room.
