Being home with the baby by themselves was strange. They had gotten so used to the extra sets of hands, now they had to rely on each other for everything but things were definitely starting to get a little easier especially since they had Dylan on a schedule...more or less. Time seemed to be whizzing by. Dylan was already 6 weeks old and that left Beca and Jesse wondering where the time had gone. Dylan had changed so much in such a short time and he was finally starting to sleep longer at night, which Beca and Jesse were very happy about.

Jesse had gone back to work 2 weeks earlier after working from home for a month. He pouted when he had to go back, he absolutely loved being home with Beca and Dylan and was going to miss them both terribly while he was at the office. Beca promised to keep him up to date with the all the cute stuff Dylan did during the day by sending texts, pictures and videos. The first two weeks that he was back at the office, he literally called her every hour 'just to check in' but what he was really doing was driving Beca crazy.

Beca was getting used to being alone with the baby during the day but she craved adult conversation and interaction, having Stacie next door helped. Every morning after Jesse and Bryan went to work, she and Stacie would put the babies in their strollers and walk the neighborhood just to get out of the house. The fresh air did wonders for both them and the babies.

On Jesse's birthday, Beca and the baby were up early. After showering, feeding the baby and putting him down for his morning nap, Beca decided to wake Jesse.

"Mornin' birthday boy." she said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Morning. Where's little man?"

"I just put him down for his morning nap." she said straddling him.

He placed his hands on her hips as she bent down to kiss him again. She trailed kisses from his jawline to his neck and back to his mouth. "Should we be doing this?" he asked between kisses.

"I got the all clear." she told him.

"Mmmmm..." he mumbled

"But...you have to wear a condom. We don't need more babies for a little while." He grinned and flipped her over on her back.

"Best birthday present ever." he said trailing kisses down her neck and chest. He was very careful to be gentle. They hadn't made love since the morning the baby was born and he didn't want to hurt her.

She missed making love to her husband...and he missed her. Six weeks was a long time and it was definitely a major drawback of having a baby but she wouldn't change a thing because she simply couldn't imagine their life without Dylan. She missed him, his hands, his mouth...she missed everything about him. Sure they slept together every night and they'd cuddle but she missed falling asleep in Jesse's arm after having made love.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"Jess...I'm fine." she said smiling.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, I'll stop."

She reached up and grabbed his face, "If you stop...I'll kill you!"

Rediscovering each other was new...it was exciting. It was slow, intimate and extremely intense. She was feeling things she hadn't felt before, not bad things...better things. Her orgasms rolled through her body like thunder and were absolutely Earth shattering.

Out of breath, Jesse said, "That's was amazing!" as he laid on his pillow.

Beca just laid there eyes closed, smiling..."Mmm hmm, it was."

As they laid in each others arms, after having just made love for the first time in six weeks, Beca heard Dylan start to fuss. She growled a little because she wasn't quite ready to get up, but grabbed her robe and got up. She picked the baby up out of his cradle and changed his diaper before taking him over to his Daddy.

Beca laid Dylan on Jesse's chest. It was one of his favorite places to be, Beca's too. He had the ability to make everything better all the time, not only for Dylan but for Beca. He was their safe place, he was their home.

"Hi little man." Jesse said while rubbing the baby's back. Beca put her head on Jesse's chest and at that moment, everything was right in their little world.

"So, the day is all yours... what do you want to do?" Beca asked as she stroked the baby's cheek.

"I'm doing it." he said as he kissed Beca and the baby. "I'm exactly where I want to be. I don't need anything else."

"Are you sure you don't want to do anything?"

"Positive." They laid there for a little longer before Dylan let them, well Beca, know who was boss. She sat up to nurse him while Jesse kissed the top of the baby's head then reached up to hold Beca's face in his hand and kissed her passionately. She never imagined that she could be this content.

He rested his forehead on hers, looked her in the eyes and said, "I love you baby."

"I love you too."

They spent the day in bed as a family. They watched movies and napped. Jesse thanked everyone that wished him a happy birthday and of course, everyone wanted to know what he was doing to celebrate. His answer was, "spending time with my family...best birthday ever!"

When Jesse got home from work the next Friday evening, the TV was on in the family room. Beca was laying on the couch with Dylan on her chest, both were asleep. She made meatballs and put them in the crockpot so he decided to quietly finish preparing dinner. When dinner was ready, Jesse walked quietly over to the couch to wake Beca.

"Hey baby." He said kissing her on the forehead then he kissed the baby and took him off her chest, "Time to wake up sleepy heads."

With her eyes closed, she stretched and said, "Hey babe. How was your day?"

"It was good, I got a lot done. You hungry?"

"Yeah...I need to boil the spaghetti before we can eat though."

"I did it already, because my sleeping beauty and our handsome little prince were crashed on the couch." He said with a grin.

"Sorry...I only meant to close my eyes for a few minutes. I really did intend to have dinner ready for you when you got home."

"Don't worry about it. All I did was boil the spaghetti...you're doing all the hardwork."

"Then let's go eat." she said as she stood up and Jesse put the baby in his swing.

"Guess what?" he asked her.

"I don't know...what?"

"Everyone loved what you did to the score for that Indy film." Jesse told her as they served their plates.

"That's great!" she smiled.

"There's more." he said.

"What do you mean?"

"Cliff is going to pay you for collaborating with me and you'll also be named in the movie credits."

"Are you kidding?" she asked as she sat at the island to eat.

"No...you'll have a check by the end of next week." Jesse said

"I didn't help you because I wanted to be paid or because I wanted to be named in the movie credits...I helped you because I love you."

"I love you too. I asked for help because you are amazing at what you do. Only you could've helped me create such a beautiful piece. Thank you." he said running his hand up her thigh.

"You're welcome." she said blushing. No matter how hard she worked or how good she thought her work was, she still hadn't gotten used to receiving compliments on it.

After dinner, they cleaned up and decided to call it a night early. They snuggled in bed with the baby and of course, a movie.

The next morning, Jesse got a text from Bryan about playing basketball with the guys. When Beca heard the the phone, she growled. "Why is someone texting you at this un-Godly hour on a Saturday?"

Jesse laughed, "It's Bryan. He wants to go play basketball."

"At this hour?"

"Babe, it's 10:30...I'm sure he thought we would be awake."

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Mind if I go?"

"No...go ahead."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, Stacie and I are going to take the babies to the farmer's market after lunch."

"Ok, I'm gonna get ready to go." he said kissing her before he got out the bed.

"I need a shower before you leave."

"I'll be quick." While Jesse showered, Beca nursed the baby. She undressed and walked into the bathroom with a naked baby on her chest. "Leave the shower running." she said as he was finishing up.

"Why is he naked?" Jesse asked pointing to the baby.

"I'm gonna bathe him while I'm in the shower, then pass him to you so I can finish up."

"Oh, ok...I'll grab his towel."

Dylan really seemed to like the shower and the fact that Beca sang to him while she bathed him. Jesse took Dylan so Beca could shower but he was back a few minutes later.

"Babe...you fed him right?"

"Yes...Why?" She said rinsing the conditioner from her hair.

"He's really mad. You may want to hurry."

"Why is he mad?"

"I don't know. I dried him and got him dressed."

"Did you put lotion on him?"

"No..."

"That's the problem." she said stepping out of the shower

"Lotion?"

"Yes, lotion." She said as she wrapped herself in a towel and walked into their bedroom. "Watch." She took the baby from Jesse and started singing. She undressed and laid him on his towel then started putting lotion on him. The baby settled down as Jesse watched Beca massage Dylan's shoulders, arms and legs with the lotion. The baby stopped crying several minutes earlier but his little bottom lip still quivered from crying. When she was finished, she scooped the baby up so he could rest his head on her shoulder and rocked, as she sang.

"And that, my love, is how it's done." she said as she kissed the baby's head.

"But..." he said.

"He associates his bath and the massage."

"But...when? how?"

"I read that giving babies massages with lavendar lotion helps to calm and soothe them."

"That's amazing"

"Yeah, it is." She said still rocking and bouncing the baby.

"When did you start doing that?"

"He was fussy one day so I tried it. Works every time."

"Good to know. I have a question though."

"What's that?"

"He's naked as the day he was born. Why isn't he peeing on you?"

"Because we have an agreement."

"An agreement...he's 7 weeks old."

"Your point?"

"He's 7 weeks old."

"And?"

"What's the agreement?"

"He's only supposed to pee on his Daddy." she said as she wrapped her free arm around Jesse's waist. She handed the baby to Jesse so he could get him dressed while she got ready to go.

"And that's supposed to be funny?" he asked as she walked into the bathroom.

"I have yet to be peed on." she winked.

"Dude, you've got to be kidding me?"

"What?"

"He just peed on me!"

"Told you!" she laughed.

As he cleaned the baby up and put his diaper on, he asked, "So...what other little agreements do you two have?"

"Can't tell you."

Well...little man and I are gonna start making some agreements."

"Won't work."

"And why is that?"

"Because I feed him."

"That's so not fair."

Jesse laid on the bed and watched TV with the baby while Beca finished getting ready. When she was ready she texted Stacie, "We're ready to go when you are."

"Be over in 10 minutes."

Stacie replied. Beca packed the diaper bag while Jesse put the baby in his car seat.

"Babe, can you grab an extra blanket?"

"Sure...but it's warm out, what do you need an extra blanket for?" Jesse asked.

"I don't think we'll be gone too long, but I'm not going to just whip it out because he wants to eat." she replied.

"Ok." he said handing her the blanket. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and said, "I wish I were going with you."

"I know...but we'll be back soon and you deserve some time with the guys."

"How about steaks for dinner?" He asked

"Sure...sounds good." She said, "Since we didn't really celebrate your birthday, do you want to invite Bryan and Stacie over for dinner?"

"Yeah...I'd like that."

"I'll talk to Stacie while we're out. Can you carry him out to the garage please?" she said as she put her wallet in the diaper bag.

"Come on little man, you're going out with Mommy, Aunt Stacie and your best bud today." Beca just shook her head as she followed Jesse to their SUV. As Beca opened the door to the garage, she saw Stacie and Bryan walking up the driveway. Once the babies and their strollers were loaded up, the girls were ready to go.

The girls were gone for a couple of hours before they decided to head back home. After unloading, Stacie played with the boys on the floor in the family room while Beca put away all of her purchases from the farmer's market. Colton was starting to get mobile while Dylan still just kind of laid there but they were both so cute. Once Dylan was asleep Beca moved him to his swing so Colton could play. When Jesse and Bryan got home, grabbed a couple of beers, fired up the grill and got the steaks and asparagus started while Beca prepared potatoes. When dinner was ready, they all sat outside on the patio to eat.

"Dude, did you know there was such a thing as a baby massage?" Jesse asked Bryan.

"No...why?"

"Beca gives Dylan massages after his bath. I didn't know about it until this morning." He said.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yes... Dylan showered with Beca this morning, then she asked me to take him and get him dressed. Little dude got pissed off because I didn't give him a massage."

Beca just laughed, "He was pretty mad."

"You give Dylan massages?" Stacie asked.

"Yes...I read about it. He was fussy one day so I tried it and it worked." she said.

"Wow..." Stacie said, "Wish I had known about that sooner. I'm gonna try it."

"So, now at 7 weeks old, our son associates baths and massages." Jesse said.

"Wow..." Bryan said.

"Hey babe...after my shower, can I get a massage?" he asked as he ran his right hand up her left thigh. Stacie and Bryan were trying to hide smirks and laughter.

"That depends...do you want a diaper too?" she asked with a wink.

"No...no diaper needed for my massage." he said as Beca blushed.

"You sure you won't pee on me?"

"Pretty sure." he winked.

"Dude...Dylan peed on you didn't he?" Bryan asked.

"Yeah, but he hasn't peed on his Mommy...Yet."

"Told you, we have an agreement. He won't pee on me."

"Agreements and massages with your 7 week old...You two crack me up." Stacie said.

After dinner, Beca and Stacie cleared the plates while Jesse, Bryan and the boys were on the patio. Once inside, Beca put candles in the cheesecake she made earlier while Stacie got dessert plates, forks and a knife. The girls walked outside singing 'Happy Birthday'. As Beca put the cheesecake on the table she sat in Jesse's lap and put her arm around his neck.

"Happy Birthday Babe!"

"Thanks baby." Jesse said kissing her, then blew out the candles.

"You're welcome." Beca said as she got up to serve cake.

After cake, they all sat around shooting the breeze for a while longer before Stacie, Bryan and Colton went home for the night. Jesse took the baby in their room while Beca cleaned the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher. When she entered their room, she could hear Jesse singing. He and the baby were in the shower so she decided to get undressed and join them. Jesse didn't hear her open the shower door and step in behind him.

As she wrapped her arms around him from behind, she kissed his back and said, "are you trying to gain brownie points with the baby?"

"Any way I can." He said turning around. "Will you show me that massage trick again?" he asked as he snaked his free arm around her waist and kissed her forehead.

"Yep...let me shower and I'll take him so you can finish, then I'll show you." They finished their family shower and Beca took Jesse's hand to lead him to their bedroom. She laid the baby on his towel and showed Jesse how to massage his arms, legs and shoulders.

Jesse laid on the bed admiring his wife as she nursed the baby. He honestly thought she would have given up on breastfeeding by now just so she could get more sleep, but she hadn't. She had been a trooper so far. Anytime Dylan was ready to nurse, she was right there to make sure he had his fill. Jesse offered to help out with feeding if she would pump but she politely refused. She was enjoying the one on one time with their son. She was amazing. As he nursed, she would sing to him and stroke his little cheeks. It really was the sweetest thing to witness.

When the baby was in his cradle, Jesse said, "My turn!" as he laid on his stomach. Beca sat in the small of his back and massaged his neck, shoulders, arms and back until her hands hurt.

"Feel better?" she asked as she rolled off of him and onto her pillow.

"Much, much better." he said straddling her and kissing her neck. "I want you so bad right now."

"So, what's stopping you?" she said breathily. "Take me."
