RICKY'S POV

When I woke up, Amy was still sleeping, but she was tossing and turning like there was no tomorrow. So I woke her up. She looked up at me and I could tell right away that she was scared. I hugged her tight.

"Everything's gonna be alright, babe. I promise. He's not coming anywhere near you or Denise ever again."

"I know, but that's not gonna keep me from worrying. I think Denise should stay in here, with us, for a while."

"Alright, whatever will make you feel any better. But I have to take a shower."

I got up. I walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, undressed, and got in. About five minutes later I heard the door open.

"Hello," I asked.

"Hey, sexy," I heard from Amy outside the shower.

"Get those clothes off and get in here."

"Wow, no wasting any time with those lines you used to use, huh?"

"Not a chance. I haven't had sex in almost four months."

She stepped into the shower, and she was even more stunning without the bump where her bellybutton should be. I gave her a seductive look and kissed her. I had to wash up so I pulled away and sighed. I washed my hair then my body. She did the same, looking reluctant. We got out of the shower and I kissed her the second we stepped out of the bathroom. I was pressed tightly against her. We walked over to our bed and I took off her towel, and she took off mine. We had sex for the first time in months. When we had finished, I smiled at her and she smiled at me. She kissed me.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you, too," I replied, when I heard Denise start crying.

I got up and ran into the nursery. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. She was just crying because she woke up. I sighed and leaned against the wall to catch my breath. I walked over and picked her up, taking her into mine and Amy's room. Amy took her and kissed her forehead. I looked at the clock. It was noon, already? Wow. I went into the nursery and carried the crib, rocking chair, and changing table into our room. Amy rocked Denise to sleep. Then it hit me: we wouldn't be able to have sex until Denise was back in the nursery. I looked over at Amy. She looked up at me. She laughed, probably seeing in my eyes what I was thinking.

"This isn't funny."

"It kind of is."

"Amy, it isn't funny! We just had the best sex we've ever had, and you think it's funny we can't do it again for God knows how long?!"

"No, not that. The fact that you're freaking out about it."

"Why wouldn't I freak out about it?!"

"Because, who says we can't?"

"Uhm, do you not see the baby?!"

"Yes, but there are other places we can have sex besides a bed. Do you know how close we came in the shower this morning? Remember the times in your car?"

"Ok, Amy, you're scaring me, you're saying you wanna have sex in my car again?!"

"No, but if I want you, and we happen to be in your car…" She trailed off.

"No. I'm not gonna have sex in my car again."

"Fine."

She put Denise in her crib, because she was asleep, and walked over to me. She stood on her toes and crushed her lips against mine. I had to resist. I pulled away. I wouldn't have sex in front of my baby. She walked into the hall, then into the guest room. She sat on the bed and took off her shirt. She looked at me. My hands balled into fists. I had to stay strong. She got up. Damn. She walked over to me. She slid her fingers down my chest, and that was it. I pulled her closer and crushed my lips against hers. I practically ripped my shirt off. My pants were next. Then hers. Then my boxers. We had sex again, because I was weak. I was a weak man because I had been deprived of sex for months. We were laying next to each other. I turned to her and kissed her again. I got up and put my boxers back on. I walked out of the room, and went back into the bedroom. I heard footsteps after a minute, and saw Amy walk into the room after me. I was laying on my back, and I turned onto my side, to face away from her.

"what did I do?"

"You made me have sex with you," I replied, not knowing why I was so angry with that.

"So?"

"So, I was trying to be strong. How can I go weeks without sex, after that? Why do you have to be so sexy, baby?"

"You're mad because you think you have to have sex with me?"

"I have to. But I suppose we could strike a deal."

"What is that?"

"If you're gonna keep me from having sex with you, then you have to shower with me. Every day. Unless I say otherwise. Deal?"

"Fine," She said.

I turned to face her and she was right next to me. I smirked and kissed her.

I looked at the clock. It was 2.

"Oh, wow, I feel dirty. I thik I need a shower," I said and winked. I got up and walked into the bathroom……………………….
