Darling Nikki

"Hello New York!" Jodi screamed excitedly from the window of their limo as they pulled away from the airport, on the ground for the first time in Manhattan.

John grinned, sitting back in his seat. The truth was their honeymoon had completely exhausted him. Of course they had spent most of their time relaxing, but that time was mostly spent having sex pretty much everywhere on the ship.

As he looked at Jodi, he noticed for the first time how tan she had gotten. She was well on her way to looking African-American now, and she looked absolutely fantastic.

"That was so great but God its good to be home." she sighed, laying her head down on his lap.

He smiled, running his hands through her red hair, which tumbled across his lap and had grown at least an inch.

"I'm going to be sleeping for the next 72 hours just so you know."

"I might join you on that." Jodi replied.

They rode home in silence, his hands gently playing in her hair as she smiled in content. Nothing could be happier than this moment, right here, right now.

****************

"Hey there." John said quietly as he snuck into the bedroom. His first day back to work of course proved that he was still very much a part of the SVU. He had been out for almost three days now, and had barely gotten the chance to talk to Jodi let alone see her.

She groaned, rolling over and looking at him through squinted and sleep-tainted eyes.

'What time is it?" she asked, her voice rasping from her throat.

"About three."

"Hurry up and get in here." she muttered.

John chuckled before shedding his clothes down to his boxers and climbing into the bed with Jodi. He scooped her up in his arms, kissing her forhead before drifting off to sleep.

***************

"Morning." John said as he walked into the kitchen. Jodi was at the sink, rinsing her hands off. She turned around to greet her husband, leaning in and kissing him.

"Made you breakfast." she smiled, resting her hands on his neck.

"What would I do without you?" he grinned before pecking her on the lips and walking over to the island bar to take a seat.

She brought him a plate, setting it down in front of him before pulling up a chair, crossing her long legs.

"I have to make an appointment with the OB-GYN. Do you want to come?"

"That depends...for what exactly. I mean, if you're having a gynecological exam as much as I love being down there I'm not so sure as to if I want to watch another guy dig around in your vagina."

Jodi tossed back her head and gave a throaty laugh before replying.

"Actually I meant for the baby. The doctor on the ship said I was about seven weeks along, which means we can probably see the heartbeat."

"Wow...I can't believe I forgot. Yeah of course I'll come." John replied, taking a bite of the panoramic muffin Jodi had made him.

"Okay well, I've got an appointment in about half an hour so I've gotta cut out. I'll see you at dinner. If you're at work I'll bring you something." she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek before exiting the kitchen.

John watched her walk away, wondering for the millionth time how he got so lucky. That was his wife, and she was perfect in absolutely every way.

He heard the familiar patter of Sadie's feet on the kitchen floor and looked down to find Sadie, sitting at his ankles, silently begging.

"You're a spoiled little brat you know that?" John looked down at her before tearing off a piece of his muffin and handing it to her. She quickly snatched it from him, chewing quickly before licking her lips and staring at him through wide eyes.

He sighed before picking her up and sitting her on his lap, kissing her head before letting her go for his plate. Just as he was finishing up his plate his phone rang.

"Munch." he answered.

"Hey man it's Fin, you gotta get down here."

John sighed before slamming down his phone and standing up, causing Sadie to jump down in alarm. Maybe he should have just stayed in Hawaii.

******************

"Hello?" Jodi asked as she closed her umbrella, stepping into the house. Sadie barked excitedly, rushing to meet her. Jodi looked down to find something tied to her collar.

"What's this baby?" she muttered, leaning down and picking her up before pulling a rectangular box off her collar.

Jodi lifted off the lid before gasping. Nestled inside was a beautiful pair of pearl earrings, surrounded in tiny diamonds.

"Do you like it?"

She looked up to find John standing there, his hands in his pockets.

"John these are beautiful." she gasped, setting Sadie down before running towards him, kissing him fiercely. John wrapped his arms around her waist, caught in the passion of the kiss before pulling away.

"What's this?" he asked, running a hand through her hair. The long curly locks were gone. Instead, Jodi's usually curly hair was now bone-straight and cut severely, stopping just shy of her long neck.

"Do you like it?" she asked sheepishly.

"Well I'm going to miss having something to grab onto when I do you from behind but...it looks nice."

Jodi rolled her eyes before John leaned down and picked her up, cradling her in his arms.

She threw her head back and giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck as he carried her upstairs to the bedroom.

It had been what seemed an eternity since they had made love in their own bed, and both were happy for the opportunity.

He tore off her wet coat, slick with rain before throwing it on the floor beside the bed. Jodi lifted up a leg, running it down John's back. He pulled his t-shirt off over his head before unbuttoning Jodi's blouse, burying his face between her breasts and kissing her sternum.

She closed her eyes, surrendering everything but the feel of his lips as they ventured down her body. He pressed his lips to her stomach, circling her navel with kisses.

"Hey there." he said softly, pressing an ear to her swollen waist.

Jodi smiled, looking down at him and putting a hand on his head.

"He or she can't hear you yet." she giggled.

"I know, but it would be nice for her to hear daddy's voice."

"Is she could I think she'd already be kicking by now."

"What makes you so sure it's a girl?" John asked, sitting up and raising his eyebrows.

"Just a feeling." Jodi shrugged, challenging him with her eyes.

"Hate to tell you this babe but I don't make girls."

"You don't make girls? How about this...my appointment is tomorrow at seven. If it's a girl...you have to give me whatever I want. If it's a boy...well I will do absolutely whatever you would like."

"Hm, anything?"

"Absolutely anything."

"Well....that sounds like a deal. Let's shake on it."

Jodi extended her hand before pushing him off and getting out of the bed.

"What the hell?!" he asked.

"You'll see tomorrow." Jodi smiled before grabbing a bottle of lotion from the dresser and sitting back down on he bed, slowly lathering herself up. John watched, as she rubbed lotion on her large breasts, going slowly and deliberately.

John grabbed his clothes before rushing out of the room, leaving Jodi grinning on the bed as she smoothed lotion onto herself.

This was going to be good.
