Later, after Tyler and Whitney had left, Lauren was getting ready for bed and Joey was in the bathroom. He walked out of the bathroom in just a pair of black boxer shorts and saw Lauren frowning at her reflection in the mirror on the inside of the wardrobe door. He watched in amusement as she turned one way and then the other, her eyes seemed to be focussed on her stomach.

'What are you doing?' he asked her, she turned to look at him, a little startled having not heard him come back into the room.

'Do you think I've gotten bigger?' she asked him

'Since when?' he asked her as he let his eyes wander over her. 'This morning?' he teased her she shot him a dirty look. 'I don't know, come here' he said and he took her hand and he led her towards the bed and he sat down, he ran his hands over her bump clad t-shirt 'I can't really tell with this in the way' he said and his fingers slid underneath the material and he pushed it up to expose her belly. 'Mmm, I don't think you've gotten bigger since this morning' he said 'but you have gotten a little bit bigger yeah' he said softly. He smiled as he hands spanned her stomach, 'we did this' he said to her 'I did this' he licked his lips and he moved forward and he kissed her stomach softly. Lauren smiled as he trailed a series of small kisses over her stomach, his hands moved to her back and he pulled her closer to him, she smiled and he kissed her stomach again and she slid her fingers into his hair. 'I can't wait until she is born and when we can start working on making a little baby brother or sister for her' he said softly and he raised his head to look at Lauren.

'You're planning more already?' Lauren asked him

'Yeah' he nodded 'I am' he said he licked his lips 'I was thinking maybe another 3 or 4 at least?'

'At least?' she asked him

'Mmhmm' he nodded, she felt his hand move higher up her back and she moved forward and she straddled his lap, he smiled at her 'at least' he nodded, he pulled her t-shirt higher and she raised her arms and he pulled it off over her head, her breast were at eye level 'Hello!' he said with a grin, 'Now these, well these are definitely bigger' he told her 'I have died and gone to heaven'

'They're the baby's!' Lauren giggled

'She's not here yet, so until then, these babies are mine' he told her and he moved forward and took a nipple into this mouth, Lauren giggled harder as Joey picked her up and lay her down on the bed, moving over her, but being careful to keep his weight off her. Her giggles turned to gasps as he turned his attention to her other nipple. He trailed kisses up to her neck and then to her face and her lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she pulled him closer to her with a groan.

Joey took his time with her, despite her protests, he wanted to her feel love, desired and wanted and he wanted to be the man that made her feel that way, he needed her to know how much he had missed her and how sorry he was and how incredible he could make her feel, the way she once told him that no one else ever had. Lauren was trembling beneath him and all he had down so far was worship her body with his mouth, he had brought her to orgasm with his lips and tongue once already as he buried his face between her legs, he savoured the taste of her, savoured her little moans of encouragement, he cries as she hit her orgasm. He had trailed kisses back up her body, once again her breasts had distracted him and he had spent a considerable amount of time showing her just how much he appreciated their fuller appearance.

'Joey..' she murmured softly

'Sorry baby, I got distracted…' he told her although he was clearly not in the least bit sorry. He smiled at her as he pressed a kiss to her nose and then brushed his against it. He kissed her softly at first and then slid his tongue between her lips, she moaned softly as he ground his groin against hers, her fingers clutched his shoulders, both of them were very aroused and Joey knew he couldn't wait much longer until he was buried inside her. She felt him pressing against her and he slowly entered her, Lauren broke the kiss with a tiny cry, Joey watched her, the emotions playing across her face, when she opened her eyes he gazed down back at her, 'I love you' he told he softly 'I'm in love with you, and I want you so badly'

Lauren looked up at him, moving one of her hands from his back to stroke his face lightly, she ran her thumb over his lips and he kissed it softly before taking it into his mouth, he sucked on it gently and he began to move inside her, his movements were slow, but deliberate, he knew exactly what she liked and when she gave a soft gasp, or a long moan, or dug her nails into his back he felt a little thrill go through him, that it was him that was eliciting these responses from her, it turned him on more too.

Lauren groaned again as he added a little rotation to his hips, hitting all the right spots inside of her, she gripped his back tighter and arched up against him. They had had sex before since she had come back, it had been great sex, but that was all it had been, a primal need to reacquaint themselves and also her hormones had played a huge part it that reunion too. She didn't want lovemaking she wanted cold hard sex, that was all that could satisfy her and to be honest at that point she was still hurt from his actions and making love was the last thing that she wanted to do. But tonight, that was exactly what they were doing, what Joey was doing, he was making love to her and she was making love to him. And tonight… tonight was the best night so far since she had taken Joey back, tonight she needed this, they both did. Tonight was the beginning of a new start for them both, after everything that had happened in the Vic, after everything that had happened over the last few months, tonight was all about making love …. And Joey was amazing at it, awesome, outstanding, phenomenal, mind blowing. Lauren smiled to herself, feeling pleased that she actually could remember any words at all, that her brain hadn't turned to a pile of mush the second that he had entered her. Her thoughts were suddenly pulled away as he rotated his hips again.

'Ah! Oh! Joe right there!' she gasped,

'Right there babe?' he asked her huskily as he did it again.

'Mmmm… mmmhmm! Keep doing that!' she told him, Joey smiled and brushed his lips against her

'You wish is my command lover' he whispered against her lips and then he kissed her deeply.

He brought her to the brink and then he stilled as he felt her beginning to ripple and contract around him, she groaned but smiled, she liked this part of making love, the way he would draw out both their climaxes so when he did eventually bring her to orgasm he would be right there with her and it would be one of the most intense, long lasting orgasms that she would ever have. He moved his lips to her neck and sucked on a sensitive spot just below her ear, she groaned again and he smiled against her neck, 'Ready baby?' he whispered in her ear

'Yes, please yes' she replied turning her head to kiss her as he started to move again, this time he didn't stop when he felt her rippling around him, driven on by her breathy moans and pleas. She clutched onto him tightly as she came undone around him, she squeezed her eyes shut as the exquisite sensations ebbed through her body, she felt Joey stiffen and then felt him pulsing inside her as he came with her. Joey was stunned by the ferocity and length of his own climax, he tried to keep his weight off of Lauren for fear of hurting her or crushing the baby. He rolled them both so he was one his back and Lauren was astride him, her head against his neck.

'I love you so much Lauren' he whispered softly, he felt moisture against his neck and he heard her sob softly. 'Lauren? Oh god baby did I hurt you?' he asked her suddenly panicked at the thought.

'No' she said softly and she raised her head to look at him. 'No you didn't hurt me' she told him

Joey frowned 'Then why are you crying?' he asked her 'It wasn't that bad was it?' he teased her 'Because it looked, sounded and felt as though you enjoyed it'

'I'm not crying because you hurt me or because it was horrible, I am crying because I am happy, that was perfect Joey' she told him 'I missed this. Being with you like this….I missed you every second of every day.' she said as she looked down at him, he rolled them again, withdrawing from her as he did so and he brushed her tears away with his thumbs. 'I never thought that we would do this again, be like this again' she admitted to him 'I am so in love with you Joey that sometimes it scares me how much'

'Scares me too' he replied 'I promise you, right here, right now that nothing, no one is ever going to come between us again. I can't live without you Lauren, I won't survive it again. You and the baby are my whole world. And one day… hopefully sooner rather than later, I am going to marry you and make you so happy that you won't even remember the times that we weren't together. And I will make love to you every single day for the rest of our lives even when we're old and grey. I will never stop loving you and I will never stop wanting you' he said honestly 'You are my morphine Lauren, I need you' he kissed her tears away from her cheeks.

'I need you too Joey' she replied 'And you're damn right you're going to marry me if you want have to have at least 4 more children!' she told him firmly and she smiled at him and she pulled him down into a kiss…..
