Basically, didn't realise I'd uploaded this chapter as I continued to edit it on my word document, the end of this chapter is different (better - I think) than the previous chapter that was up. Please give it a read and let me know what you think in a review. Sorry and thank you x

After Zoe picked Rosie up from school, they headed over to the McDonald's drive thru, Zoe had promised as Nick wouldn't be home for dinner, that Rosie could have a treat.

'Guess what mummy!' Rosie beamed. 'Guess!'

'Um...you got a boyfriend?' Zoe teased, laughing at the faces Rosie pulled.

'No mummy! Boys yucky.'

'I don't know then sweetheart.'

'I get highest points in my class mummy!'

'Oh wow!' Zoe grinned. 'Highest in what?'

'Spelling!' she beamed.

'Oh, clever girl!' Zoe grinned as she cuddled her step daughter. 'Daddy, have you heard this?'

Rosie ran to him before Zoe had chance to say anything else, 'I get sticker for highest spelling in my class!' she stuck her chest out as far as possible, showing off the gold star.

Lifting her up to inspect it closer, he winked at Zoe, 'Dr Jordan on the way. I can see it now.'

Laughing to herself she sat down and started eating her dinner.

'Baby come now please?' Rosie begged, urgently. 'Want to play with it daddy.' Sighing as her dad shook his head she finished her meal and ran to watch tv.

'Well, that's her settled for a while' Nick winked at his wife, the wink that still, after all these years, made her weak at the knees. Nick, knowing this, used it to his advantage to get his own way 'maybe mummy and daddy can 'settle down' in here for a while?' he teased, kissing her jaw and neck softly.

'Nick' she breathed before laughing quietly, 'not tonight, eh. Maybe a foot rub instead?'

Knowing - hoping - she was joking, Nick unfastened his top few buttons before kneeling down and setting about giving her the mother of all foot rubs. Rubbing deep circles along the base of her foot, he looked up at her smiling, 'good enough, queen?'

She cringed pointing to her swollen stomach, 'you got me into this situation, the least you could do is look after me.'

Standing up, Nick chuckled 'you weren't complaining before you got pregnant, were you, hm?'

Laughing, squealing, as Nick lifted her onto the table and kissed around her stomach gently, she leant back on her hands and watched him.

'Better?' he smiled as he ran his hand over her stomach, grinning as the baby kicked, 'baby knows daddy.'

'Mmm. He certainly does.'

'He?' Nick raised his head, he'd always wanted a boy, always.

'Maybe, maybe she. I don't know Nick, I don't like calling the baby 'it' though' she mused, 'doesn't sound nice, at all.'

'He' Nick kissed the centre of her stomach, 'she. Whoever you are in there, we love you' he whispered against Zoe's skin and she couldn't help but laugh.

'Mad man.' she teased.

'Don't listen to mummy, she's just jealous that you're getting daddy's attention tonight and not her. Aren't you mummy?' he looked up to see her quickly wipe the smile off of her face and replace it with a look of seriousness.

'I am not jealous' she stated. 'I am tired.'

'Hmm, if you say so Zo.' Nick smirked as he unfastened his shirt more, 'warm in here isn't it.'

Zoe laughed as she wrapped her legs around Nicks waist pulling him closer towards her, she kissed him softly, 'are we going to settle down then?' she whispered against his skin as she kissed along his neck slowly.

Smirking, Nick held her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table, closer to him and wrapped her legs tighter around his waist, 'I knew you couldn't resist' he winked and kissed to her lips gently.

Before he knew what was happening, Zoe had ripped his shirt off and thrown it to the floor, along with her own blouse and Nicks trousers.

Rosie ran through to her dad and step mum, minutes after they had got dressed. 'Can I get biscuits before bed? Please please please.' she smiled her sweet smile and held her hands in front of her face, begging.

Chuckling to himself, Nick reached into the cupboard and handed her a small packet of her favourites, 'there you go sweetheart, will daddy read you a story tonight? Or are you too big for stories?'

She thought for a moment then responded, 'I am a big girl daddy, but big girls can still get stories' she nodded and cuddled Zoe. 'Night night mummy, night night baby' Rosie grinned and rubbed Zoe's bump then ran off to her room, 'hurry daddy!'

Zoe laughed, 'you'd better go before you get into any more trouble.'

Nick smirked and slapped her bum gently before walking off upstairs and reading Rosie her favourite story, Snow White. After finishing the story he made his way to his own bedroom where he found Zoe laid on the bed in a rather revealing nightdress and her infamous heels. 'Good evening' she teased, biting her lip ever so slightly.

Nick grinned and leaned over the bed to her, 'good evening Dr Hanna' he winked before kissing her slowly, he then whispered in her ear 'you never fail to turn me on Zo.' He bit her earlobe gently and carefully lay her back, laying himself between her legs, propping himself up on his elbows. 'Keep the shoes on doctor.' Nick kissed down Zoe's neck, grazing his teeth over her skin softly. He slowly took her nightdress off her and kissed along her hip. Zoe leaned up on her elbows and watched him, focused on his hands as they unbuttoned his shirt quickly as his eyes took in every detail of the beauty that lay before him. 'You are gorgeous' he whispered as he removed his clothes and proceeded to kisses up her body slowly until he reached her lips, kissing them tenderly.

'I love you' she whispered against Nicks lips as he entered her slowly. She wrapped one of her legs around his waist and threaded her hand through his hair. 'I love you' she repeated, over and over, through her moans of pure pleasure. No man had ever made Zoe feel how Nick made her feel. And she knew that no man ever would. Nick was hers, and she was his. Zoe and Nick.
