*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter they were greatly appreciated. Thank-you all so much.*

I stand in the airport waiting for Joe to return from Hawaii after him being gone for two weeks to film a movie with his cousin Dwayne. It's been a crazy, chaotic two weeks away from him and I wouldn't have gotten through the last two weeks without his parents and without my parents helping me out with Matthew. I am grateful for all their help and with me returning back to work at my parents' restaurant I have been working some shifts sometimes taking Matthew with me and sometimes having Monica and Sika baby sit for me. I wait to see my husband to arrive in the next 15 minutes. It feels like an eternity has passed since he left for Hawaii. I have been seeing pictures of him on social media of Behind The Scenes stuff and videos of him hanging out in Hawaii but along with that came the criticism of the fans. I think back to all the online critics; Nice try, Vince, you still can't have Roman fake cancer and make us like him. I thought Roman had cancer, how is he in Hawaii? I think the cancer is fake, I think it's a storyline and How does Roman still have hair, don't people with cancer lose their hair? It goes on and on a bunch of ignorant critics that know nothing about Joe or his life. I feel like I took more offense to their negativity than Joe did. I'm upset because how dare they feel the need to say Joe was lying about having leukemia, to say that it was a storyline and it was used to make people like him. None of them were there on the days chemo kicked Joe's ass, keeping him down and out for the day, none of them were there when he was sick from the meds and not one of them sat with him after he took a chemo pill to make sure he was okay. Not all chemo medicine makes someone's hair fall out, not everyone with cancer is bed ridden they are allowed to still live a normal life. Granted Joe is officially in remission it doesn't give anyone the right to say anything about his battle with cancer this is the second time I have seen him fight this battle and the second time I have seen him win against it. Some people aren't as lucky as Joe and some people do lose their hair, some people are bed ridden but it all depends on the medicine they are taking and now Joe is required to take medicine the rest of his life to prevent the cancer from coming back and keeping it at bay so that he never has to fight that battle again. I have taken a long break away from social media to avoid the negative people along with the people that have all negative things to say about me. No one knows us just who Joe plays on TV. I was not prepared for this life but I am dealing with it in my own way; privately the best that I can.

I smile when I see Joe walking through the terminal holding a duffle back on his shoulder. He looks so good, freshly tanned, his thinning hair pulled into a bun with his brand new beard wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a grey tank top showing off his muscles and his Samoan tattoo. I nearly want to run to him when I see him but I control myself and speed walk toward him. He greets me with his gorgeous smile before I walk into his arms taking in his scent. "Hello, Beautiful," he says making me smile. "Did you miss me?"

"More than you'll ever know," I say looking up at him with a smile as he smiles down at me before taking my lips in for a soft sweet kiss in the middle of the airport. I groan in protest when he breaks the kiss.

"Don't be like that," he smiles, "we have two weeks to catch up on. Are you good to go if you know what I am saying?"

"Oh yeah, the doctor gave me the okay last week," I say with a smile knowing exactly what he's talking about.

"Good, birth control?" he asks.

"No," I say. "I opted not to use any birth control. I probably should have but with us not knowing if you can create any more kids I didn't want to risk it."

"I see," he says. "I have to go get my luggage, where is Matthew?"

"He is at my parents' house. I didn't want to drag him out it was close to his nap time so I thought it would be better to leave him home with my mom."

"I see."

"So how are you feeling?" We walk to the baggage claim hand in hand. "It wasn't too much was it?"

"I'm feeling pretty good," he says. "I had a couple rough days but I am feeling pretty good right now."

"Good," I say as he wraps his arm around my shoulders holding me close to him. "And how was your flight?"

"It was pretty decent," he says. "Very relaxing but a long trip my body is still on Hawaii time."

"I bet," I smile. "I miss Hawaii. It was such a beautiful place."

"It really is beautiful," he says, "we'll have to go back some time."

"Yeah," I agree with him as we make it to the baggage claim to wait for his luggage which seems to take forever before everything is accounted for and we walk to the car so that we can go pick Matthew up on our way home.

"You said it was close to Matthew's nap time?" asks Joe as I am driving us down the highway from the airport.

"Yeah, it should be," I say, "why?"

"If it is his nap time do we really want to disturb him? We're not going to want to wake him up so we are just going to hang out at your parents' house until he wakes up and I think after a few weeks there is a better way to spend our time," he smiles.

"And how would that be?" I smile.

"Oh you know," he says taking my hand. "A little time in our bed?"

"Sounds like a plan to me, let me call my mom and see if Matthew is sleeping and if he's sleeping we'll head to our house to kill some time because honestly I am ready to sex you up."

"I like the sound of that," he says making me smile before I tell Suri to call my mom. The music playing from my I-Phone stops just as the ringing bursts through the car sound system.

It rings a couple times before my mom's voice comes on the sound system, "hello, Audrey," she says.

"Hey, Mama, so I picked Joe up from the airport and we were wondering if Matthew was already down for his nap?" I ask.

"Yes, I just put him down for a nap," she says.

"Okay, do you mind if Joe and I go to hang out for a little bit while he naps? You can just call me when he wakes up from his nap and I will come pick him up."

"That's fine," she says and I can hear her smile through the phone. It makes me smile. "I would say you probably have a couple hours to hang out." And Joe raises his eyebrows at me.

"Thanks, mom," I say with a smile, "just give me a call when he wakes up and we will be there to pick him up."

"I will," she says. "And you are working tonight right?" she asks.

"Yes," I say. "I am working tonight."

"Okay," she says, "enjoy your time, I'll see you when you get here."

"See you when we get there," I say with a smile.

"Be careful, ti amo."

"I will, ti amo," I say before cutting the call. "So we have about two hours to kill," I say.

"I can work with that," he says as he places his hand on my thigh, softly massaging it as I drive. I smile as I take the exit to get us to our house. I drive as cautiously as I can but still in a hurry to get home and get as much time in with my husband as I possibly can.

I pull into the driveway of our home making the garage door open so I can pull into our garage. I put the car in park as the door closes behind us. I hurry out of the car as Joe does the same leaving his luggage in the trunk of the car. I fumble with the key and the lock to open the door as I feel Joe's arms wrapped around my waist and his soft lips on my neck, kissing it softly as I unlock the door. I push it open and hear the alarm going off as Joe scoops me up and puts me over his shoulder so I can punch in the security code after I push the door shut and lock it. He slides me down his front so we are standing face to face. He captures my lips with his, kissing me deep with urgency and need, I kiss him back with the same urgency. I want him it's been far too long for both of us. Breathlessly we break the kiss, our foreheads touching, "Damn, Audrey, I missed you," he says with a smile before kissing me again, this time taking me by the waist lifting me from the floor. I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist as he carries me up to our bedroom, never breaking the kiss. He kicks the door shut behind him before carrying me to the bed. He gently lays me down on the bed, kissing my neck softly as I take my hands through his hair, combing through it with my fingers as he continues to kiss me across my collarbone, he sits up to take off his shirt exposing his large chest, he may not have a six pack or an 8 pack but I love his body the way it is, his dad bod as many call it, I sit up and take off my own shirt exposing my tan nursing bra. Joe's lips trail kisses across the top of my breasts as he massages them through the fabric of my bra keeping the breast milk from leaking out, his lips on my stomach, kissing around it softly as he reaches the top of my jeans, he unbuttons them and pulls them down as I help him by kicking them off. He takes his shorts off exposing his grey briefs before spreading my legs softly. He places soft kisses on the inside of my thighs, kissing each side until he reaches my sex, he kisses me through the lace of my white underwear. He pulls them to the side and slides his finger inside of me making me moan out in pleasure, he moves his finger soft and slow before pulling it out to slide my panties down my legs and tossing them to the floor. He places my legs over his shoulder as his mouth heats my sex, his tongue gliding over my swollen clit, flicking it softly making me cry out in pleasure, sucking it softly as his fingers slide into me, I arch my back taking more as he flicks my clit with his tongue and his fingers make love to me soft and slow. "Joe," I moan out in pleasure. He sucks my clit harder and moves his fingers faster, I arch my head back, claw into the sheets and cry out in pleasure as I come apart, hitting my climax.

Joe stands up removing his briefs freeing his thick and large erection, he settles himself over me, stroking it softly. "Are you sure you don't want me to use a condom?" he asks. I shake my head no and he takes his erection over my sex, stroking it softly before he eases into me. I wince from the pain at first, he doesn't move allowing me to adjust to his size again, and get used to it after just having a baby. "You good?" he asks looking down at me. I nod and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him down to me. He starts to move slow, taking time making love to me. Filling me with every inch of him, "I have missed you, Audrey, I missed this," he says before taking my lips and kissing me deep as he moves, I move with him making love to him as he makes love to me slow and sweet, taking his time hitting every sensitive part of my sex. "Audrey," he breathes in my ear before nibbling at my neck. "I love you, Baby Girl," he says.

"I love you too," I say as we continue making love. I feel the passion tearing through my body, the ecstasy building deep within my body, I know I am close. He hits one sensitive spot and I come apart, my legs quiver, my toes curl into the mattress and my nails into his back as I fall apart, hit my climax as he takes my lips in a hard but sweet kiss as he comes apart, filling me with his seed.

"You sure you have to work tonight?" he asks me as we are lying in our bed in the afternoon sun as he strokes my arm softly.

"Yeah, I told my mom I would," I say. "She's kind of depending on me being there."

"That sucks, I want more time with you," he says kissing my shoulder.

"When I get home," I smile.

"What time do you work till?" he asks.

"11," I say.

"That's late," he says.

"I know but I need to close tonight."

"All right, so I guess Matthew and I will be hanging out tonight."

"You two could always come visit me at work, you'll get a free meal," I wink.

"Maybe we will stop by," he smiles as my cellphone rings. I get out of bed naked and pull it out of my jeans pocket to see it's my mom. "Hey, Mama," I say.

"Hey, Audrey, I hope I wasn't interrupting anything but Matthew is awake," she says.

"All right, Joe and I will be right over to pick him up," I say.

"See you when you get here," she says.

"Okay, bye," I say before hanging up the phone. I toss my phone onto the bed. "Matthew is awake we need to go get him," I say looking for my underwear. "And he's probably hungry if my breasts are any indication," I say as I grab my panties to put on while Joe gets out of bed to get dressed. "I'm going to need to feed him when we get there."

"Okay," says Joe throwing his shirt on over his head. "I enjoyed our afternoon."

"Me too," I say putting on my shirt. "It's been too long."

"Way too long," he says. "Let's go get the Samoan Bottle Monster," he says.

I laugh and say, "more like the Samoan breast monster. Let's go," I say fixing up my hair on the way out the door. We make our way downstairs and I grab the keys off the counter before walking out the door to the car. I let Joe drive us to my mom's house to pick up the baby while I sit in the passenger's seat holding his hand the entire way there.

LATER THAT NIGHT:

It's been a pretty busy night at work, business has been pretty good. I have been working at my parents' restaurant Romano's for a couple weeks now and I love it. I am glad to be back in the family business in a low key lifestyle where I can bring my son to work with me whenever I wish which has helped a lot with Joe gone filming a movie for two weeks. I'm standing in the back taking a little break getting ready to call Joe to see if he is stopping in tonight. I'm looking at my phone at the picture that Joe sent me of him and Matthew watching TV and a picture of Matthew wrapped up in his dinosaur towel after a bath. He looks adorable. "Audrey," says my brother.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"There is a man out there asking specifically for you. I tried to take his order but he says he wants you."

"A man?" I ask, "That's weird is it Joe and Matthew?"

"No," he says, "It's some man dressed in a suit. He is asking for you. I can tell him to get lost if you want me to."

"No, don't, I'll see what he wants but look at your nephew, how cute is he?" I ask showing him the picture.

"He looks like mini-Joe," he says, "but he's cute."

"I know," I laugh. "Nothing of mine went into that boy."

"Maybe the Romano nose and eyelashes but that's it," he says with a smile.

"True," I say putting my phone back in my pocket. "What table?" I ask.

"Table 25," he says. I nod and make my way out to the dining area.

I make my way to table 25 and stop in my tracks as I see him sitting there looking at the menu, dressed in one of his expensive business suits. I hold my breath for a couple seconds before I make my way to the table. "Scott," I say as he looks up at me with his deep blue eyes and a smile on his face.

"Audrey," he says.

*A/N: So what did you think? Why is Scott there? What could he possibly want? What about how Audrey feels toward social media and the opinions of the critics? Please review and thank-you for reading.
