Ella pulled the car up in front of Josh's parent's house. She noticed that Josh's bmw was in the drive way. He had beaten her there. He was suppose to text her. She thought as she got out of the car. She walked towards the house and went inside.

"Hi Ella." Corlynn said as Ella came through the door. "The babies are with Josh and Miles in the back yard. They are having so much fun. They were so excited to see Josh."

"Did they give you any trouble?" Ella asked sitting on the sofa.

"They are no trouble."

Ella smiled softly. "When did Josh arrive?"

"He has been here for about a half hour. He seems tired."

Ella tried not to giggle at his mom's comment; she looked up as she heard little feet running towards her.

"Mama." Landon squeeled and running right to her.

"Hey baby." She smiled swooping him up in her arms. His little arms went around her neck. He gave her slobbery kisses. "Did you have fun?"

Landon smiled and pointed his little finger towards the back of the house. "Dada."

"I know he is home." She smiled at her baby.

"Down." He said and squirmed out of her arms and ran towards the kitchen.

"He probably wants something to drink." Corlynn said following her grandson into the kitchen.

Josh came in the room, with a screaming and giggling Liam. He had him held upside down. Josh flipped him right side up and he laughed harder.

"Hi." Ella said, Josh didn't realize she was there.

Liam smiled and scrunched his little nose up at her holding his arms out for his mother to take him. She took him and gave him hugs and kisses. Liam giggled.

"Josh." He said proud of himself.

"Daddy." Ella corrected him looking at Josh. Josh smiled at her softly. Liam wiggled to get down, she set him on his feet and he was off towards the kitchen. He heard Landon and Josh's mom in there.

"They grew in two weeks." Josh said sitting down on the sofa, he patted the cushion beside him as a que for Ella to sit beside him. "Liam will not call me daddy." Josh chuckled. "He grins at me after he says it, it is like he is doing it to bother me."

Ella sat beside him. "I know he is doing it to bug you." She reached out to take his hand; he pulled it back so she couldn't touch his hand. She gave him a questioning hurt look.

"I don't want my parents to know we are working things out yet."

"Working things out?" Ella asked looking at him. "You call having repeated sex, working things out. I call it back together." She said sternly, she was hurt.

"Sweetheart I don't mean it like that."

"Well it is how it sounds. I thought we worked things out by sleeping together and telling each other that we love each other."

Josh ran his hand through his hair. "I have been thinking a lot today. I don't want to rush back into a relationship."

"You have to be fucking kidding me." She went to get up but Josh grabbed her arm so she couldn't go anywhere.

"Would you stop being so hot headed and sit down here."

Ella glared at him. "I am pissed at you right now."

Josh rolled his eyes. "I love you sweetheart. I just don't want to rush things with my parents and the babies knowing. We don't need to confuse them."

"So what are you suggesting?"

He pulled her back down. "I want to date you, I want to take you places."

She looked at him. "okay…..no dating other people."

He gave her a look. "Don't be silly sweetheart I don't want anyone else but you."

"Good." She said smiling.

"I think we shouldn't have sex so much. I know I want you constantly but I want our relationship to be based on more than just a physical connection."

"Are you sick?" she asked putting her hand to his forehead to check his temperature.

Josh laughed at her. "I am not sick. I just really want this to work Ella."

"Okay." She said hesitantly. "I don't know how the no sex thing will work."

"I didn't say no sex, just not so much."

"You are clearly not thinking straight Josh." She said smiling. "It won't work."

"I bet I can go a month without touching you but still being loving and caring to you."

"Really?" she said grinning.

"Yup."

"Okay…If I win which I know I will, you are going to owe me a weekend away, just me and you. No cell phone, no way to contact anyone except for your mom and dad who will have the boys. IF you win well you can have the gratitude of proving me wrong."

"Hey ….that isn't fair."

"It is your stupid idea so deal with it. I am going to get the boys ready to go home." She said getting up and leaving the room.

Josh chuckled as Ella left the room. He had pissed her off; she was so damn cute when she was angry. He thought she was probably right he wouldn't be able to keep his hands off of her. He just wanted to work on their relationship because they never really had that. They had somewhat of a friendship and they were attracted to each other, so they started having sex. Things were messed up with Nikki, he did fall in love with Ella but it happened ass backwards. Now they were parents together…..wow Josh thought how weird everything was.

She came back in the room, a boy in each arm, Liam was of course struggling to get down and screaming his head off. Josh got up and took the screaming toddler off her hands. Liam reached up and pulled Josh's long bangs.

"Ouch Liam…..Let go." Josh scolded. Liam pulled harder

"Liam!" Ella said sternly, he pouted his lip out but stopped crying and pulling his father's hair. "That is not nice." Ella said as her and Josh got the boys outside to her car. "I will take both boys home." She said not looking at him. She buckled both them into their car seats. She shut the door; both boys were rubbing their eyes. She went to walk around the car, Josh grabbed her arm gently.

"You are pissed me aren't you." He said softly.

Ella looked at him. She didn't need to say anything; Josh could see she was upset.

"Sweetheart I want us to last…I am so in love with you." He said softly holding her gaze. He reached down and cupped her face.

"I think it is too late to do this right Josh. I am addicted to your touch, and I think we should for sure do things to get to know each other but don't take the physical away from me. I think that is the most intimate way to get to know someone. With you it is not just sex; it never has been or never will be."

"I just don't want to rush things." He said softly, holding her gaze.

"The boys are tired I need to get them home." She said not looking back at him. She was furious with him.

"Please don't be upset with me Sweetheart."

"Josh I am tired and want to go home. We can talk later." Ella said walking around the car to get in the driver's side. Josh followed her.

"Ella don't be upset."

She glared at him. "Don't be uspet! Last night was something I had been waiting for a long time. I thought we could just be together, now you telling me we need to take it slow….make up your mind Josh, either you want me in your life or not."

"You know I want you in my life Sweetheart. You are being unreasonable."

"I am going home." She said getting into the car, slamming the door and speeding out of the drive way.

Josh ran his hand through his hair and sighed. He didn't see the big deal. Why she was so upset. He went over to his car, he had to go the studio for awhile, to start working on stuff for their next tour. He would talk to her when he got home after she had calmed down a little.

Ella had just gotten the boys to bed. They were all hyper when they got home and they readjusted to Ben right away. They loved him.

She descended the stairs picking up toys along the way, tossing them in the toy bin behind the stairs. It was just a little after nine, she sighed. She felt awful about her little disagreement with Josh. She just wanted to pretend like the past two years didn't happen and they were back together happily.

"L, what is wrong?" Ben asked as Ella plopped down on the sofa beside him. "You don't seem very happy."

"I argued with Josh." She said pouting.

"First fight within 24 hours of getting back together."

"Ugh I know Ben. He wants to take it slow."

"Ummmmm from what went on in his room last night wasn't taking it slow."

"I know." Ella said covering her face.

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know. He didn't say where he was going, I didn't ask."

"L honey everything will work out."

"Are you sure Ben?" she asked looking at Ben, tears welling up in her eyes.

"L don't cry." He said pulling into his arms. "He makes me angry for making you cry. He doesn't know what a good thing he has here."

"I hurt him. I don't think he is fully over that. I can see why he wants to take it slow."

"He needs to keep his dick in his pants then."

Ella giggled. "I really don't want him too."

"You are one of those crazed sex addicts aren't you."

"Ben…I am not a crazed sex addict…Josh is just pretty damn amazing."

Ella had cuddled down in his arms, she was resting her head on his lap, Ben was playing with his hair.

"He is the one I want to wake up to everyday forever Ben."

"I know L. I can tell how much you love him. It just scares me how he holds your heart in his hands. I don't want to see you hurt."

"I know." Ella said yawning.

"You should go up to bed L. Get some rest. I think I am going to."

She sat up, letting Ben get up. "When you going home?"

"Two days." He said looking at her.

"I wish you would stay. I miss you when you are not here."

Ben bent down and kissed her on the forehead. "I miss you too L."

"Night Ben."

"Night L."

Ella stretched out on the sofa, she wanted to wait for Josh to get home before she went up to bed. She missed him already. She settled down on the sofa, pulling a throw over her and closing her eyes.

"Man Josh I am tired it is after two am." Matt whinned. "I want to go home."

"We are done." Josh said rolling his eyes, he picked his phone up as it had been vibrating like crazy. He thought maybe it was Ella looking for him. He looked at the screen, seeing four missed messages. He opened up his inbox.

"Hey there Sexy! I miss you! I just landed in Van City an hour ago…wanna play? Xoxo"

Josh looked at the number, he didn't recognize it.

"Who might this be?"

"Who has been texting you dude?" Matt asked gathering his things, while yawning.

"I am not sure." Josh said as his phone vibrated again.

"We hooked up three weeks ago in Sidney Austrailia. Can't say you forgot me already. L"

Josh grinned. "It is the chick I hooked up with on tour. She is in Van city."

"Sweet you going to get some loving man."

"Nah…..am going home. Ella and I are kinda back together."

"Wow really? When did that happen?"

"Last night." Josh said slipping his phone in his pocket. "She is still pretty amazing." He said smiling.

"I am happy for you Josh. She is pretty special. Glad you came to your senses."

"Me too." Josh put his jacket on. "Cya tomorrow."

"Night Man."

Josh and Matt both got in their vehicles and went their separate ways. He couldn't wait to get home. Ella would be asleep; he just wanted to be in the same house as her.

Once he was home, he went into the kitchen and got a glass of water. The house was quiet. He walked into the living room, he stopped when he seen her asleep on the sofa. She was beautiful. The moon was shining in through the window, reflecting off of her skin.

He walked over to the couch, knelt down beside it; he reached over and touched her face. She stirred a little. He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. Her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey." Josh said smiling softly at her.

"What time is it?"

"Three am." He said softly.

"I should go up to bed."

Josh stood and swooped her up into his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck and he carried her up that stairs. He took her into his room and set her softly on the bed.

He undressed and crawled into bed beside her, she was already back asleep. He wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer, he kissed her temple.

"Love you." He whispered before closing his eyes and drifting to sleep.
