Lacy stepped into the room and met Mark heading out with Jessie in his arms.

"Jessie is going to have some dinner." Mark said.

Lacy leaned forward and kissed Jessie.

Jessie hugged her mom.

"I'm sorry I scared you so bad mommy." Jessie said.

"Alls forgiven." Lacy said smiling at her daughter.

"Daddy said he would keep me company while I eat." Jessie said.

Lacy looked in her daughters eyes and seen the pleading. She didn't want Lacy to tell him. Oh god how had she got into this mess.

"Go on and eat and then its bath time." Lacy said.

Jessie grinned. "Okay Mommy." Jessie said happily.

Lacy followed them down the stairs and cornered the twins so she could give them a bath. She took them upstairs and put them in the bathtub. She sat there and bathed them and then sat back to watch them while they played. Ethan walked in.

"Thanks mom for not telling him." Ethan said.

"Ethan, This is wrong and you know it, we're lying to this man, don't you think he's going to be angry when he gets his memory back?" Lacy asked.

"Maybe he won't get it back." Ethan said hopefully.

"Ethan Coleridge, I can't believe you said that." Lacy said.

"I'm sorry mom; its just he is so great, even Jessie likes him." Ethan said hanging his head.

Lacy reached out and pushed his hair off his fore head.

"I know Ethan, I'm sorry things have been so tough for you." Lacy said sadly.

"It's not you fault mom." Ethan said hugging her.

"Go on and take your bath." Lacy said.

"Ethan we'll take this one day at a time, I am going to tell him, I just got to find the right time." Lacy said sighing.

"Okay mom." Ethan said walking out of the room.

Ethan leaned against the wall outside the bathroom.

Mom was weakening, he could see that. She liked having him around to. Hopefully by the time Mark got his memory back, he would be in love with his mom, and he would love them, then he wouldn't want to leave. Ethan had it all worked out in his mind. He smiled as he walked downstairs to the other bathroom.

Lacy was putting the squirming twins to bed, when Mark walked in.

Lacy smiled at him.

"Daddy." The girls squealed at Mark.

Mark sat down on the bed beside the girls and they jumped on his lap.

"I'll read them a story and put them to bed, ya go get you a shower and relax." Mark said.

"You sure, there a handful." Lacy said.

"Go on get." Mark said smiling.

Mark read two books to the giggling girls and tucked them into bed and gave them each a kiss.

"Night night Daddy." Zoe said Kissing Mark on the cheek.

"Goodnight baby." Mark said.

"Night daddy." Faith said giving Mark a kiss.

"Good night sweetie." Mark said to Faith.

Mark went and turned out the light and stood in the doorway watching them. He was so lucky, even if he couldn't remember them; he had great kids and a great wife.

Lacy had taken a shower and was downstairs setting in her rocker working on one of the Afghans. She had three to finish and she really needed to get them done. The kids needed new shoes bad. Jessie and Ethan sat on the couch watching Cartoons. They had both had there bath. Lacy tucked her legs up under her to get more comfortable. She had on a pink sleep outfit a tank with matching shorts. She usually just threw a t-shirt on. She didn't think to hard about why she had gone to the extra effort tonight. Her long hair hung in waves around her. She noticed that Ethan had got Mark's luggage out of the car and hung all his clothes in her closet. She couldn't get out of sleeping in the same room with him, after all she was supposed to be is wife. She just hoped he didn't try anything. She was so deep in her thoughts she hadn't noticed mark come in. He had taken a shower and put on a pair of sweats and nothing else. When she looked up and saw him standing over her, she caught her breath at the sight of his big muscular chest and all those tats. Oh My God he was sexy. Mark bent down and kissed her lips lightly. He pulled back and lifted a piece of her hair twirling it around his fingers.

"You look beautiful Darlin." Mark said softly.

Lacy was lost in those green eyes of his.

"Thank you." Lacy said.

Ethan and Jessie looked at each other smiling.

"This is going to work out real good." Ethan whispered to Jessie.

Jessie nodded.

Mark gave Lacy another kiss and walked over to the kids and lifted Jessie to sit on his lap.

"Mind if I watch with ya?" Mark asked.

Jessie cuddled up in his lap Ethan scooted closer to him. Lacy smiled at the picture they made sitting there talking and laughing over the cartoons. She watched them as she worked on the Afghan.

"Okay kids its bedtime." Lacy said.

The kids groaned but got up.

"Good night mom." Ethan said giving her a kiss.

"Night honey." Lacy said.

"Night mommy." Jessie said hugging her mom.

"Good night baby." Lacy said.

Mark picked up Jessie and carried her upstairs to tuck her in. He gave her a kiss and turned out her light. He walked by Ethan's door. He saw the boy lying on his back with his hand behind his head. He was probably too old to want to be tucked in. Mark walked in the dark room. He sat down on the side of the bed. He ruffled the boys' hair.

"Goodnight son." Mark said.

Ethan surprised Mark by throwing his arms around him for a hug.

Mark hugged him back.

"Night dad." Ethan said.

Mark got up and headed back down stairs. Now it was time to tuck his wife in he thought with a smile.
