" Hey sexy mama, hows Jr been for you?" Brandon comes in from work to Andreas place to help her with dinner. " I see you started the noodles before I got here. I really wish you'd let me help you more. You have a lot on your plate right now."

He kisses her as she sits down at the table to let him do the rest of dinner. Hanna's already setting the table and he kisses the top of her head as he passes by her.

" Ace I just started the noodles, Hanna did everything else. He's been so fussy today and I think its from all the stress I'm under getting ready to go back to work. I'm pumping and nursing so I'll have a big supply for when I'm away from him but in the mean time I'm making so much milk my breasts hurt all the time and I'm exhausted. I just don't know what to do." She says in a quiet voice when Hanna goes to sit down and watch tv. " I just can't seem to settle down or get him to."

" Well Dr Z, I'm more then happy to help you out with anything you need me for. I can't take over nursing but any other breast related activities I'd be more then happy to help you with." He leans over and says quietly " There I go being a pervert again. I swear you can't take me anywhere."

They both crack up laughing and she grabs his head and kisses him hard. He deepens the kiss and she runs her hand down his chest to his belt and stops there when the baby starts to cry again. She gets up to get him and Brandon goes to the stove to finish dinner. By the time she finishes nursing James its time for dinner and they sit around the table like a family.

" Where's aunty tonight? I thought she was staying over tonight. I like it when she drops me off at school. Her car is so cool." Hanna asks Brandon between bites

" Nope shes not staying tonight cause I'm staying over here so I can take care of the baby while mom gets some much needed sleep. I will drop you off in my boring super uncool car in the morning. Do you want me to walk you to class in my pajamas?" Brandon plays with her

" Oh god no please just drop me off like all the other dads. You're so embarrassing sometimes. Besides that you sleep in your underwear or nothing at all when you're here and that will get you arrested if you go to school like that. So gross." Hanna begs

" Well shes got you there. Hanna that would be really gross huh?" Andrea laughs

" Oh I see so I'm just supposed to get fully dressed to take you to school even though if I do just like the other dads nobody will see that I'm in my underwear anyway. When were all these rules set in place? I don't get it." Brandon enjoys messing with her and it warms his heart that she wants him to be just like the other dads. " You know the first time I dropped you off at school you were in kindergarten, I guess I could follow your crazy clothing rules, for now at least."

" I'm full and I have homework I need to do. Can I go?" Hanna puts her plate in the sink.

" I didn't think she had seen me in just my boxers or naked since shes been older. I need to be more careful. I guess I never really thought about how Im dressed here and at my place. I always wear sweats or pajama bottoms at my place when Hanna's there. And Kel hasn't stayed when Hanna has been over there. I guess I should wear sweats when I'm here. Shes getting older now and I need to be setting a better example for her." Brandon pours a cup of coffee as she finishes her dinner. " God remember when she was really little and walked in on us? I was so mortified. Luckily she was too young to really understand what we were doing. She just thought you were sitting on my lap kissing me. She didn't realize what was going on under your dress. I was so paranoid after that. I didn't want Jesse to come and kill me."

" That was around the time she asked you to stop calling her Jr. I think he was more uncomfortable than she was. He wouldn't have done anything to you. He didn't kill you when he caught us. I got tired of him always accusing me of cheating and told him how long we'd been sleeping together and that when he caught us was not a one time thing. It's because I lied to him and kept having sex with you that it became a problem. He slept around all the time. I just wanted to sleep with you. I left my husband because he was cruel to me and Hanna, not because of you." Andrea sits in his lap and kisses him. " There was another time when she wondered into your living room when you were in a compromising position. Luckily she was too young to know what you guys were doing."

" Oh my God I've worked really hard to block that out. Not the whole affair just that particular moment. Dyl was sure that he had ruined things for you and I. That was a crazy summer. I finally told Kelly about that in confidence of course and I totally left you out of it. I'm trying to be more honest with her. I need her to believe she can trust me. But our secrets are safe with me." Brandon buries his face in her chest hugging her and kissing her. She lifts his head and looks him in the eye.

" Thank you. I'm not ashamed but that info could make things pretty uncomfortable if it got out. Everyone already knows you're a kinky little devil." She cracks up laughing.

" Seldom wrong and right again." He jokes kissing her deeply.

" Have you and Kelly talked about everything? Is she ok with you and I? Cause I've got the all clear and my iud is in place, Its been such a long time."

" Um yes we have and shes ok with everything right now but once she moves in that's probably going to change. So Dr Z I could really use a check up." He says quietly in her ear before kissing her again " Well I have an appointment open after the kids go to bed. You wanna help with that? James needs a bath and I don't think you've done that yourself yet. Just when your mom was here."

" Sure I'd love to give my son a bath. I'll get dinner cleaned up first. You should go relax and put your feet up. Help Hanna with her homework cause you are vastly more intelligent then me." Brandon clears the table and starts the dishes while Andrea leaves the kitchen to go help Hanna with her homework in the living room. When Hanna gets done and has her 40 minutes of reading left Andrea puts her feet up and lays back on the couch just to rest her eyes but instead falls deep asleep. Brandon quietly takes James upstairs to bathe him and get him ready for bed. He's going to let her sleep for as long as she needs to. Shes such a good mom and has so much on her mind right now. The nanny they hired will do a great job looking after James while they are working but he understands her reluctance to leave him in someone elses care. She's also a great doctor and really feels compelled to provide care to the most vulnerable people. She is the medical director at a clinic that serves low income families. She and the doctors and nurses who work under her are providing care to people who would probably not get care otherwise. Her work is important and lifesaving. After the kids are all snug in bed Brandon joins her on the couch. Putting a blanket over them he gently pulls her over so he can snuggle her as she snoozes. Around ten she startles awake and is immediately comforted by his arm around her as he reads quietly. She looks around and the whole house is cleaned up and lights are off for the night.

" Hey, did you have a good snooze? You've been out for a couple hours. Everything's done. You can head up to bed if you want." Brandon says looking up from his book. " If you're too tired we don't have to sleep together. I can still take care of the kids and let you sleep. I'll take the baby with me when I run Hanna to school I just need you to take over by noon cause I have racket ball with Steve and I really need to keep it cause I cancelled the last couple times."

" Um ok that's all fine. I think I'm gonna get in the bath. Wanna join me?" She smiles and takes his hand. " I believe you had an appointment and I really don't like it when my patients cancel. There is a pretty steep penalty for no shows."

" Well Dr I would hate to get a bill for not coming to see you. Ill be right up." He says as she walks up the stairs to her master bathroom to get a bath running. When he finishes his chapter he heads up stairs.

" Knock knock, hows the bath?" Brandon says quietly as he cracks the door open " Still want some company? I figure we have about an hour till jr wakes up."

" I thought you'd never get up here. I was about to take matters into my own hands." She reaches out and grabs his hand as he quickly takes his clothes off. He steps into the tub kissing her immediately.

" By all means don't let me stop you. I love to see a lady pleasing herself. Its a big a turn on. But if you'd rather I took over I'm happy to accommodate." He says rubbing her thighs and kissing her hard. She's straddling him now and he's ready for her. " Daddy loves to see mommy happy."

Water splashes onto the floor as she bounces up and down riding his erection until they both release and continue to cling to each other as they come down.

" Oh god. Its been such a long time." Andrea says breathlessly

" Yes ma'am it has. Having a baby is rough on the sex life. We got a really good one though. Definitely worth it." He says kissing her some more

" Oh god I'm sorry I leaked on you. My breast are so engorged." Andrea says embarrassed at her breast milk leaking onto his chest as she sits in his lap. She wipes it off with her hand.

" You don't need to apologize for your body doing what's natural. I love your breasts. They've always been amazing and now even more so. They nourish our baby. You're a damned super hero. You make humans and feed them with your body. I'm honored to be a tiny part of it." Brandon touches her nipples gently wiping the leakage away with his thumb and kissing her chest and neck " Speaking of our baby... Jr is going be hungry soon... I think we might have time for another round. Maybe not in the tub... What do ya say?"

" Has your recovery time improved in the last few months cause I'm game if you are."

" Heck yah." Brandon stands and offers his hand to her as she stands up. He steps out and wraps a towel around her and helps her get out of the tub and they head to her bed. In the early morning Brandon wakes up to the feel of a baby kicking and squirming against him in the bed. Andrea is laying next to James dozing while the baby nurses. Brandon lays there watching in total awe of everything that's happening. His best friend nursing the beautiful baby they made together. James has been exactly what Brandon needed to give his life meaning and perspective.

A little over a month later.

" So to celebrate your first month back at work I would like to take you out for a romantic dinner. Kel will babysit. Let's go to moon shadows." Brandon kisses Andrea as she comes in.

" Ah sure. I need a shower. Wanna join me?" She smiles and raises her eye brows

" Oh so tempting but I just took one and I'm already dressed. Did you see the tie? I put this one on for you. The one I wore to work today wasn't nearly as nice." Brandon says kissing her again " Our reservations are in an hour so chop chop." He playfully smacks her ass as she walks toward the stairs to go get ready.

" OK ok ok I'll be quick." She goes upstairs to get ready. 30 minutes or so later shes ready to go. She looks stunning and its hard for him to stay focused. They drive to the restaurant and are seated quickly.

" So now that I've plied you with food and drink at your favorite restaurant. I want to talk to you about a few things. I want to ask Kelly to marry me. I don't want to wait any longer. Not much will change for the kids. But obviously Kel is gonna have some rules for you and I."

" Wow Ace that's awesome. I hope she says yes. I'm glad you guys are moving forward. Its gonna be different but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help you guys be together. I know its the right time for you guys. I have been talking to Deb and we might try going out again. She was ok with our arraingment last time so we'll see how it goes. I was hoping you could keep the kids monday evening for me?" Andrea says while polishing off dessert.

" Well sure I'll see if Kel wants to stay over and play house. She'll love spending some time with them." Brandon signals for the check so they can leave. " So if we time this drive home right everyone will be asleep at my place and we can make as much noise in your place as we want."

" Kelly's ok with that? Taking care of our kids while we screw in the house across the street?" Andrea whispers as they hurry out the door. " As long as I'm over there before Jr's two am feeding. Gives us three and a half hours Chief."

They get to the car and he opens her door. She stops and kisses him passionately before getting sat down in the seat. When he gets in on his side she leans over and kisses him again. They stop when he buckles up and starts the car. On the drive home his hand sits on her bare thigh inching up at every stop light and by the time they are in her driveway he's nearly brought to orgasm. Once she can move again they get out of the car and race inside. Barely inside they rip each others clothes off and have sex right on the couch.

" Those magic fingers of yours. I'm always gonna get weak in the knees when you touch me. No matter what happens from here on out." She turns and kisses him deeply

" You've always given me butterflies chief. I think Kelly will be generous with the rules she comes up with. Between the two of you I'm always walking around with wood." He nuzzles her ear and kisses her neck " Speaking of wood... we should go upstairs, we have another 2 hours before I have to head across the street. I believe there's a thing or two we haven't done in a while and I think we should while we still can."

They race up the stairs leaving their clothes on the living room floor. An hour and a half later they both need to catch their breath and drink some water. She walks him to the door as he heads home so he can feed the baby his next feeding and she can sleep uninterrupted for the night. Hanna has been instructed not to wake her mom up when she gets home. When he tucks the baby back into bed he crawls in bed with Kelly and sends Andrea a quick text.

" Thanks for a spectacular evening chief. Jr is sleeping like a rock. See you tomorrow. Love you." Brandon puts his phone down and closes his eyes falling asleep almost immediately.
