It was late by the time Betty and Grace left. After Janet said goodbye to them and closed the door, she noticed that Tim seemed to be having trouble staying awake. "Okay, I think it's time for bed, Tim." She said.

"Can't I stay up longer? Please, Mommy?" He pleaded, his eyes struggling to stay open.

Frank chuckled at his son's determination. "Your mother's right. You need your sleep."

Tim looked at Frank, frowning. "But I was having fun with you, Daddy."

"I'll still be here when you wake up tomorrow." Frank quickly glanced at Janet, who nodded her approval. "I'm not going anywhere!"

Janet smiled. "You can stay here longer than that, Frank. Would you like to move in with us?"

"I'd love to." Frank smiled back at her.

"You're staying here forever and ever, right, Daddy?" Tim hopped up and down excitedly, suddenly full of energy.

"That's right, Tim." Frank said, grinning.

"Now that that's settled, let's get you to bed." Janet said to Tim.

"Can Daddy tuck me in?" Tim asked, glancing at Frank.

"But of course!" Frank picked up the giggling little boy.

Janet blew kisses to both of them as she watched them go up the stairs. Then she sat down and waited for Frank to return. She thought about how lucky she was to have such a wonderful man in her life. She and Tim were both lucky to have him, and she hoped it would last forever. She also wondered how she could have forgotten about Frank's existence for so long. She knew that sometimes people forget certain things after a traumatic experience, so maybe that was it. She got so lost in thought that she jumped when Frank came back and sat beside her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He said, laughing.

"Don't worry about it. I was just thinking, that's all."

"About what?" He asked.

"About you." She snuggled up to him. "I'm glad you came back, Frankie."

"Me too. I was so afraid you'd reject me after the way I treated you back then. As I said earlier, I'd never been in love before, and I wasn't sure how to handle it. With you, there was this spark that I'd never felt with anyone else. It actually meant something." Frank explained. "And then when I saw you with Rocky... I got so angry that I couldn't think straight."

"I'm so sorry, Frank." Janet said, ashamed. "I was just confused. When you left my room, I had so many emotions running through my head. I was disgusted with myself, because I'd always thought I'd be married before anything like that would happen. I was also amazed at how much I liked it. That spark you just mentioned... I felt it too. Then when I looked at the monitor and saw you and Brad in bed together... Rocky was right there in the lab, and well, one thing led to another. It didn't mean anything to me."

"Brad didn't mean anything to me either. I just did that out of habit." Frank shrugged. "If you don't mind my asking, Janet, why were you with him for so long?"

"We met in high school and started dating. Until we ended up in your castle, I didn't find it odd that our relationship didn't evolve. He was still the shy, awkward teenage boy I'd fallen for all those years ago, and that was fine. We were both naive back then. We'd never gone beyond kissing." Janet sighed. "Until you came along, I never even thought about giving in to absolute pleasure."

"Well, for me it's just the opposite. I didn't know the names of my sexual partners half the time, and I didn't care. They were just there to entertain me, nothing more. When I met you, though, I found myself wanting to ask you so many questions. I wanted to get to know you as a person. I wasn't sure how to bring it up, though, so I kept it to myself. Afterwards, I would have loved to stay and hold you in my arms, but I didn't even know if you felt the same way."

"Oh, Frankie." Janet snuggled closer. "So, in other words, you need a friendly hand."

Frank nodded, grinning suggestively at her. "And you need action." He then chased her up the stairs.
