The two hugged and then broke apart. Their faces inching closer and closer.
Their lips were about to meet when Kyle started to cry.
Julz cleared her throat and said "Sorry." She got up quickly and brought the crying baby downstairs.
Jeff watched Julie rock her baby back and forth trying to quiet him thinking 'She must be wonder woman. No one deserves all the crap that she's been through at her age.'
Jeff got up and walked over to her and smiled. "There's a reason why I'm here you know." With that he took the baby and sat on the recliner.
Julie sat down on the couch. 'Why couldn't you be his father' she thought to herself out loud.
"What?" Jeff asked looking at Julie.
"Oh nothing" she answered trying to cover up what she had just said.
Jeff laughed. "I heard you the first time you know."
Julie felt the blood rush to her cheeks. "Sorry Jeff. It's just that I know what it feels like to grow up with no family and I promised myself I would never do that to my child, but look at me I did exactly that."
"What do you mean?" he questioned.
"He has no dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins." By this time Julie started tearing up.
Jeff walked over to Julie still with the baby in his hands. "Look Julz I can imagine all I want how tough it must be for you to take care of another at 17 but I know I'll never fully understand how hard you have."
Jeff paused at looked at Julie. She smiled and waited for him to continue.
"All I know is that I can try my hardest to make things easier for you. That's why I got this."
He then gave the now calm baby to Julie and from in between the couch and the wall he pulled out a box.
Julie gasped and her eyes started to water again. 'Jeff how did you know he needed one?"
"I went over to Stacy's and asked her if there was anything in the world I could do or get for you and Kyle, what should it be? She said that you needed a new crib for Kyle.
"Jeff you are the best." She put Kyle in his stroller that had been left in front of the door and hugged Jeff tightly.
She went to get up but Jeff grabbed her arm and sat her back down. He leaned in closer until their lips met. They passionately kissed until Jeff remembered Julie's ex taking advantage of her.
He stopped and started stammering. "I'm so sorry, I should've never of done that."
"So why did you do it?" Julie asked aggravated because she didn't know what Jeff was really feeling.
"I…th…I had a sudden urge to kiss you. I don't know what it was. I'm sorry maybe I should leave."
"Jeff it's okay as long as you tell me how you really feel."
Jeff started stammering again. "I...I…"
