…

In his sleep James tried to snuggle up with Mindy only to find nobody in bed with him. "Baby Doll?" Immediately his eyes opened and he sat up, looking all around for her. Since bringing her home to live with him he hadn't been waking up alone and it wasn't something he had missed. "Baby Doll?" He got out of bed and looked at the clock. He had to give her her meds. So, with a sigh, he put on a pair of pants and went downstairs, hoping that she was down there. She wasn't though. He checked the living room and his office before going to the kitchen and making up her pill filled milkshake. The fact that he couldn't find her anywhere was really worrying him. "Baby Doll?" he called out yet again. "Baby Doll where are you?"

He didn't get an answer. Starting to really freak now, he went back upstairs and headed for Cooper's room. His intention was to wake Cooper up and have him help look for Mindy. As it turned out though, he didn't have far to look. He opened the door and went into Cooper's room, freezing on the spot when he saw Mindy sleeping on top of Cooper's chest. He forced himself to blink several times, not believing what he was seeing. He wasn't seeing that he wasn't. But he was. His fiancé was sleeping on top of his son and his stomach dropped down to the floor before rising back up, bubbling with jealousy and confusion. Swallowing heavily, he went over to the bed and lifted up the covers ever so carefully. They weren't naked underneath. They were hugging each other as they slept and it didn't appear that anything had happened…but that did nothing to make him feel better.

"Baby Doll?" It was harder to talk now but he was trying to keep his voice steady. He had to give her her pills…and get her away from Cooper. "Baby Doll?" He touched her back and rubbed it gently. "Baby Doll wake up."

Mindy mumbled something under her breath and very reluctantly opened her eyes. "Jamie…" At first she started to smile but then she remembered where she was and realized just exactly what it looked like. "Jamie!"

Her exclamation woke Cooper up and the first thing he saw was James standing over them. It didn't take a rocket scientist to see that James was clearly not happy. "Oh Jesus." He took his arms off from around Mindy and held them up in surrender. "This is NOT what it looks like."

James didn't say anything mainly because the words were caught somewhere deep in the back of his throat. Mindy immediately was all over him, afraid of what the look on his face meant. "James we fell asleep. We were talking and watching a movie and we fell asleep, we did not do anything bad."

"Yeah," Cooper rushed in to agree. "We didn't do anything Dad, I swear. We weren't paying attention to the time…" His voice trailed off at the look on James's face and both he and Mindy waited apprehensively for him to react in some way.

"…I made you a milkshake Baby Doll." That was about all he could say. He pulled her into his arms possessively and handed her the milkshake. He was usually good at telling when Cooper was lying and this didn't seem like it was the case this time and Mindy was being honest as far as he could tell and he WANTED to believe that it had been nothing but still…it just hurt. After catching Mark in the act so many times it just…no. It wasn't like that. Baby Doll wouldn't do that to him it wasn't like that.

"Thank you Jamie…" Mindy took the milkshake but didn't drink it, choosing instead to just stare at him with wide eyes until he kissed the side of her head.

"It's not poison I promise."

She slowly started to drink and he carried her out of the room, not giving Cooper another look. Cooper watched them go and slowly exhaled and ran his hand over his face. There wasn't a blowup like he initially expected but James's feelings were definitely hurt. Only an idiot couldn't see that. "Well fuck," he muttered under his breath. He thought about getting up right then and trying to deal with it but then figured it better to give him some time. Odds were he and Mindy needed to talk and he didn't really want to risk getting his head ripped off his shoulders before lunch. It was not on his list of things to do for that day.

…

"You think I had sex with Cooper," Mindy said bluntly as James slowly spun them around in his chair. They had retreated to his office and the glass her milkshake had been in sat empty and pink stained on his desk while they sat on his spinning chair, snuggling comfortably together.

"No," James said immediately. He shook his head to help emphasize that. "I don't. You said you didn't and I believe you."

"But you were upset when you saw us," Mindy pressed on. She ran her finger down the bridge of his nose and shook her head. "Don't say you were not Jamie because you were. "

"I just…I was looking for you and I couldn't find you. I just…I thought-"

"Did you think I left you?"

"I don't know what I thought really. I just woke up alone and needed to find you." He dropped his head against her like a giant dog and laced his fingers with hers. He realized it sounded like he was trying to make her feel guilty and that wasn't what he wanted. He loved her he didn't want her feeling bad when she didn't actually do anything. "Now I have you and all is good."

Mindy petted his hair and frowned a bit. "So I made you sad anyway."

"Baby Doll no. Just forget it. I'm not important."

"Yes you are Jamie."

He kissed her for that, happily sliding his tongue into her mouth as her lips parted and granted him entrance. "I love you Baby Doll."

"I love you more Jamie."

He kissed her again before kissing her finger with the ring on it and placing his hand over her stomach. "Do you want a girl or a boy Baby Doll?"

"Ummm…" she pouted her lips real cutely as she thought the question over. "A girl. I can dress her up in little outfits and play with her hair." She ran her finger over his lips, smiling as he kissed it. "What about you Jamie?"

"A girl," James replied. "I've never had a girl before so I want a little girl." He rubbed circles on her stomach with his thumb. "I made you a doctor's appointment, so we can start that "fun" process. And I'll eventually have to brush up on my diaper changing skills and all that."

"Good because I do not want to do diapers," Mindy informed him. "I do not know how to do them and I do not want to."

"You won't have to Baby Doll," he assured her. "I'll take care of it." He nuzzled his face against the side of hers. "I'll take care of you and our baby and you won't have to worry about a thing."

She smiled at him for that and they happily made out for several minutes. When his lips left hers to start kissing and sucking on her throat, her eyes wandered over to his desk and she saw a pair of glasses sitting on top of some of his paperwork. "You wear glasses?"

"Hmm?" He looked over at his desk. "Oh those things? They're fake." He reached over and grabbed them. "I just wear them sometimes to feel smarter." He put them and smiled at her. "Ta da! See? Don't I just look like a genius?"

"Of course," she agreed. She kissed him happily. "But…" she rubbed her nose against his "I think…" her hands carefully took the glasses off his face "they would look better on me." She put them on and poked her tongue between her teeth. She looked so cute he pretty much died on the spot.

"You're right. They're much better on you Baby Doll." Just like the button up shirts of his she had been wearing, the glasses were now claimed as hers and he couldn't have a problem with that if he tried.

They resumed her kissing, her groin grinding against his as they did so. He arched his hips up and grinded back against her, his hand eventually reaching in between her legs and ripping off the little thong she had on. He actually put it in one of the drawers of his desk as she got his cock out of his jeans and stroked it with one of her little hands. "Mmm Baby Doll…" He arched up and rubbed the head of his cock against her wet pussy until he couldn't take it anymore and slammed into her hard. She practically screamed when he did it and he didn't make much of an effort to silence her. He just thrusted upwards as hard and fast as he could, leaving a trail of hickeys all across her throat. She rode him just as hard and dug her nails into his back, nearly ripping his shirt as she came. He came within seconds of her but he didn't pull out. He just got up and cleared the stuff off his desk with one swipe of his hand. "You like it when I fuck you like this Baby Doll?" He laid her down on it and kept fucking her nice and hard, his hand reaching down to rub her clit as he did it.

"Yeah!" she moaned. "Oh fuck yes Jamie! Harder! Harder Jamie harder!"

He fucked her even harder and once she came again he pulled out long enough to turn her around and he fucked her from behind until they both came again. Then it was back on the chair to make-out for a bit and then they repeated the process all over again.

…

"So wait, they both woke you up to get your help in breaking up me and Baby Doll?" James repeated incredulously. It was a few hours later and he had reluctantly tore himself away from Mindy because Julie had insisted she had something really important to talk to him about. He had thought she was just being dramatic but she really wasn't be. Mark and Kane calling her up really wasn't a good thing.

"Pretty much," Julie said. "Now I told them both to pretty much go fuck off but I think we both know that won't discourage them too much."

James sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Fuck…"

"Mark wants you back."

"I don't care."

"You don't?"

"No. Why did you ask me like that?"

"Because you were with him for forever-"

"So what? Rosenberg I DON'T want to be with Mark anymore. I haven't for awhile now. And if he can't accept that that's not my problem. And Crispy-"

"What is his deal anyway? Why does he care if you're with her or not? I know he don't want you back with Mark."

"He don't want me with her either though. He wants me away so he can swoop in and get her."

"Whaaaat?" Julie said in total disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"

"No. He's been totally stalking her since Wrestlemania. I've seen the way he looks at her with those beady mismatched eyes. Fucking bastard wants to steal my Baby Doll."

Julie let out a very long sigh. "Is the fact that she's SEVENTEEN lost on ALL of you?"

"Apparently. Now let me fantasize about killing Crispy. I heard him trying to say bad stuff about me when we were moving her out of his place and-"

"He's probably still doing it. You know he hates you."

"Oh God…what do you think he's been telling her?"

"Oh probably lots of things. That you're a psychotic killer-"

"She knows I do that. But I've been busy lately so I've been cutting back."

"…Don't share any further than that. I'd like to keep my lunch in my stomach instead of on the floor."

"Sissy."

"He could be telling her that she's just a rebound."

"But she's NOT! I fucking PROPOSED to her for fuck's sake!"

"…You did WHAT?"

James winced. Ooops. He hadn't meant to blurt that out. He had meant to ease her into that news. Thank god I didn't blurt out the info about the baby. She would really kill me then.

"What did she say?"

"Yes…"

"James!"

James had to take the phone away from his ear because Julie yelled so loud. "What?" he said innocently.

"She's SEVENTEEN James! She's too young to be getting married! What were you thinking asking her?"

"I was thinking I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

"Uh…dude, she's seventeen. She hadn't even like, remotely lived her life yet. You're asking her to throw all her opportunities and shit away to get married?"

James looked down at his lap. "So what, you're saying being married to me would be that bad of a thing?"

"No, that's NOT what I'm saying," Julie objected. "I'm just saying she's a baby. You shouldn't rush her into this."

"I'm NOT trying to rush her! It's not like I'm going to rush this wedding. I want to marry her yes but if she wants to wait for the actual wedding then we will. And-oh fuck." Something just popped into his head and he didn't like it one bit.

"What?" Julie asked. "What is it?"

"What if he's told her about Annabelle?"

"You haven't had that conversation yet?"

"No. How exactly do I have THAT conversation?"

"I don't know. I didn't fuck my sister now did I?"

"You don't have a sister."

"Not the point."

"Dude, I'm serious here, what if he told her? What do I do?"

"Talk to her you idiot. Sit her down, get her to talk to you about what Kane's been up to and stuff. If he's told her then you're just gonna have to deal with it. Explain to her that you were fucked up as a kid and you did shit you weren't supposed to and just…yeah. Just admit that you were in the wrong and don't build Annabelle up on a pedestal in front of her."

"Why would I do that? I don't do that."

"You did it in your mind a long time ago and you do it out loud without even realizing it," Julie informed him. "I'm telling you now to watch it and not do it. You're in love with Miranda and you don't need to make her feel like you're still in love with Belle."

"I'm not," James said vehemently. "I'm not. She's been dead for eight years. I've moved on with my life."

"Good. Now look, there's no way you'll get her to think the incest thing is not gross-at least I don't think you will be able to-so just explain yourself as best you can, don't get defensive-that's a key there-and get prepared for a major ass kicking when I get there."

"What? Why?"

"You're engaged to a seventeen year old. I'm kicking your ass to the moon you dumb son of a bitch."
