Toby and CJ were laying in the king-sized bed in his parents' guestroom. Between them, Haley was sleeping.
"She's going to get so spoiled when she grows up," CJ mumbled.
Toby smiled slightly. "Probably."
CJ sighed. "Can you believe she's already been with us for two years? It feels like we just got home from the hospital."
"Tell me about it. It won't take long until she leaves the house for college."
"Don't say that, Toby. You're getting me all moody."
She felt his hand on her hip and she smiled.
"I just wish it could stay like this forever," CJ whispered. "You, me and Haley."
"Really?"
CJ was quiet for a short moment trying to understand what Toby was getting at. "Don't you?"
He moved his hand to her upper arm and gently stroked it up and down. "Well, I always kind of hoped for a big family," he said slowly.
CJ smiled. "Oh."
"How do you feel about that?"
"I think that'd be nice," she said after a while.
She could almost see Toby grin. Suddenly, he groaned loudly.
"What?"
"I just wish Haley wasn't between us right now," he muttered. "Actually, I wish she wasn't even in the room."
CJ giggled quietly. She got out of bed and moved Haley a bit further to the edge. Then she walked around the bed and looked down at Toby.
"Care to move a bit?"
Toby moved in to the middle and held up the cover for her. She lay down next to him and he put his arm around her.
"Have I told you that I love you today?" He whispered before kissing her on the neck.
She laughed a little. "Yes, about hundred times. But feel free to say it again."
"I love you," he whispered.
She turned to him and smiled. "I love you too. More than I ever thought was possible to love anyone." She kissed him softly on the lips. "Now sleep. The faster we get to sleep the sooner we can go home and start working on our new kid."
"I like that idea," Toby softly murmured in her ear.
TBC.
